My skill tree increases every day.

I'm so stupid, really.

I only knew that I needed to swipe my student card to enter the school gate, but I didn't know that I also needed to swipe my student card to exit the gate.

How could I have forgotten about this when I just took Chen Shuyan in?

Lin Yu had been squatting at the school gate for fifteen minutes.

Lin Yu squatted beside the electric scooter, staring intently at the closed gate. He had intended to sneak out with the other students, but after fifteen minutes of standing there in the wind, he hadn't encountered a single person.

Are the students at Wu Dong University really that intimidated? It's only a little past eight o'clock, and there's not a single person entering or leaving the campus.

Don't top students have a nightlife?

Damn it! Why aren't there any security guards?!

Lin Yu peered through the window into the empty security room.

The students at Wu Tung University are the future pillars of the nation! There isn't a single security guard. What if something happens?

Even the entrance to Qingzhou Polytechnic University has two security guards!

This is the second victory for Qingzhou University of Technology!

Lin Yu waited for about five more minutes before someone finally came out of the school.

"Hey bro, you're not from this school, are you?"

"Ah, yes. I brought a friend in and forgot that this door requires a card." Lin Yu scratched his head helplessly.

"Brother, if I open the door for you, how about you give me a ride? It's the Jincheng Hotel, not far, just across one traffic light."

"Okay, come on up."

Li Tongchen helped Lin Yu sit in the back seat of the car with his arm, then took out his student card and swiped it to open the gate.

Lin Yu drove his electric scooter over the speed bump in front of the gate and out of Wudong University's campus.

Wudong University is so lame! They still require you to swipe a card. Our Qingzhou University of Technology has already switched to facial recognition.

Lin Yu glanced back at the incompetent turnstile.

This is the third victory of Qingzhou University of Science and Technology.

"Brother, my name is Li Tongchen. I'll open the door for you again next time."

The Jincheng Hotel is indeed not far, only about a kilometer away, and you can get there quickly on a small electric scooter.

After saying goodbye to Li Tongchen, Lin Yu headed north, leaving Wudong University, where Chen Shuyan was.

On his way back, as he passed the west gate of Qingzhou University of Technology, Lin Yu deliberately slowed down and glanced at the gate—perfect! One of the two security guards was looking at his phone in the booth, while the other strolled around outside with his hands behind his back. The facial recognition turnstiles were also working diligently, allowing students to enter and exit smoothly.

It's just an ordinary day at Qingzhou University of Technology.

赢！

Lin Yu rented an old apartment building within 300 meters of Qingzhou University of Technology. Because it was old, the rent was not high.

This building was completed in the 1980s, even before the Qingzhou University of Technology campus was established. The people who bought houses here back then certainly did not expect that the place where they lived for more than ten years would suddenly become a university town.

"Damn, I thought you weren't coming back today!"

As soon as Lin Yu opened the door, he saw Liu Zhiyuan lying on the sofa wearing only a pair of shorts.

"Old Liu, I have a question I'd like to ask you."

Lin Yu dragged over a chair and sat down solemnly opposite Liu Zhiyuan.

After thinking it over along the way, he had already come up with a preliminary strategy.

"Hey! Brother Yu, I know what you want to ask! Come on, ask me anything! I'll give you some advice, and I guarantee you won't have to come back alone next time!" Liu Zhiyuan sat up straight.

"Didn't you have a girlfriend before? It only took four days from meeting her to breaking up." Lin Yu put his hands on Liu Zhiyuan's shoulders.

For safety's sake, you definitely can't be the one to initiate the breakup. You need to make her lose interest in you and leave you on her own! Of course, you have to be careful not to upset her too much; this process should be gradual and subtle.

"Tell me quickly, what exactly did you do to make that girl lose interest in you so quickly!"

Liu Zhiyuan: "?"

……

"Xiaoxue, didn't you and your ex-boyfriend go from meeting to dating in just three days? You should give Yanyan some advice on how to win over that handsome guy." At the same time, Chen Shuyan's roommates were gathered together.

"Little Fish!" Chen Shuyan gave Sun Mengli a playful, eye-roll.

"I know! You can send him a 'Are you there?' message first!" Liu Qiao chimed in.

"Don't cause trouble!" Mo Wenxue quickly covered Liu Qiao's mouth with her hand. "Yanyan, don't listen to her."

"Yanyan, your top priority right now is to get him to come out!"

"But I've already made plans to have dinner with him later."

Mo Wenxue's expression turned slightly serious.

This woman is quite skilled; it seems I'll have to go all out! I can't let them look down on me!

……

"What! You've already set a date for your next date?!" Liu Zhiyuan exclaimed, as if he were seeing Lin Yu for the first time. "Impressive moves, Brother Yu!"

Lin Yu, however, looked distressed: "The problem is, I don't want anything bad to happen between us!"

"Huh?" Liu Zhiyuan was stunned. "No, this girl asked you out, and you're not happy about it? I saw her when I went to see you before; she's a real beauty!"

"She's pretty, that's all..."

You have no idea how terrifying she is!

Lin Yu leaned back and scratched his hair. He really couldn't explain this to Liu Zhiyuan.

"In short, I don't want things to continue like this with her. You have experience in this area, so give me some advice!"

"You!" Liu Zhiyuan's eyes widened in anger. "Forget it, forget it, I don't understand you."

"Alright, I'll give you a few pointers. First, you need to act like a completely clueless block of wood!"

"Be specific?"

"For example, never initiate conversations; use meaningless interjections like 'um,' 'oh,' and 'hehe.' Also, never compliment her; nitpick! Say her clothes don't match, or that the composition of her photos on social media is bad..."

Lin Yu opened his phone's notes app and began to take notes seriously.

"And another thing! Talk about things that girls definitely won't be interested in!" Liu Zhiyuan got more and more excited as he spoke. "Talk to her about graphics cards, computers, the offside rule in soccer, and LeBron James in the NBA! I guarantee she'll be completely confused and feel like you have absolutely nothing in common!"

Lin Yu stopped typing, looked up at Liu Zhiyuan, and said with a complicated expression, "Old Liu, I suddenly understand your ex-girlfriend a little better."

"What do you mean?"

"It's nothing, you can continue."

Lin Yu's typing speed couldn't keep up with Liu Zhiyuan's talking, so he directly turned on the recording.

……

"Yanyan, you must find out what he's interested in!" Mo Wenxue raised her hand and pushed up her glasses, the lenses flashing a white light.

"Men of this age generally like things like basketball, soccer, and video games!"

"Lai Yanyan, look at this picture. Has he ever worn similar shoes?"

Mo Wenxue sent Chen Shuyan a photo of various sneakers.

"This one! Lin Yu wore shoes that look very similar to these." Chen Shuyan pointed out one of the pairs.

"James? Okay, this is the exam scope! You can start preparing from this!"

"But Teacher Xiaoxue, Yanyan can't keep doing this of guessing exam questions, can she?" Good student Liu Qiao raised a question at the right time.

"So, here's my next plan, Little Fish!"

"arrive!"

"Go ask your boyfriend if he still has any tutoring jobs."

Sun Mengli's boyfriend, Li Tongchen, is a senior at Wudong University and has compiled information on most of the tutoring jobs around the university town. Chen Shuyan's tutoring job was introduced to her by him.

"Yanyan, take on another tutoring job first. Then tell Lin Yu that you don't have any free time and ask him to help you share the workload."

"This way, you'll not only have common topics to discuss, but you can also tutor your child together, just like an elderly couple tutoring their child..."

"Little Fish, do you understand? Yan Yan's happiness rests on your shoulders!"

"Understood! Yan Yan, for your sake, I will definitely persuade Senior Li!"

Sun Mengli patted his chest and assured him.

"Don't worry, with us here, we'll definitely help our beautiful Yan Yan win over that handsome young man!"

Mo Wenxue confidently tapped the table.

"Don't worry, with me here, I'll make sure that beautiful woman has absolutely no interest in you, you slut!"

Liu Zhiyuan laughed confidently.
