My skill tree increases every day.

Lin Yu finally agreed to Mo Wenxue's invitation.

Despite the suspicion that he was being exhibited as a rare animal, Lin Yu still chose to go.

Lin Yu could tell from Chen Shuyan's expression that although she didn't say anything, she probably hoped he could come along.

So he asked directly.

"Chen Shuyan, would you like me to come along?"

"hope."

Two simple words, without hesitation or coyness.

Chen Shuyan has never liked making people guess her thoughts, so she answered decisively.

She always believed that you should say what you mean directly, instead of hiding things and making people guess, only to blame them for guessing wrong in the end.

Instead of doing that, just say what you mean directly.

"Okay. In that case, I'll go."

Upon hearing Chen Shuyan's answer, Lin Yu readily agreed.

Since Chen Shuyan had already spoken, Lin Yu naturally wouldn't spoil her fun.

Indeed, I am a kind and understanding person.

"Oh—as expected, our Yan Yan has a lot of influence."

"Minor Snow!"

Chen Shuyan has evolved; she no longer blushes at Mo Wenxue's teasing.

"Did I say something wrong?" Mo Wenxue looked completely innocent. "I was the one asking her, but she's the one asking for your opinion!"

"You only let people come because you want them to. What else is that if not putting on a show of pride?"

"Alright, alright," Mo Wenxue waved her hand at Lin Yu, "Remember to bring Yanyan over on time, Friday night at six o'clock!"

After saying that, she pulled Chen Shuyan and walked into the campus.

After saying goodbye to the two, Lin Yu finally returned to his loyal Qingzhou University of Technology.

Back in his apartment next to the school, Lin Yu could finally get some rest.

He has been working non-stop since last Saturday.

Although he has to get up at 8 a.m. tomorrow, Lin Yu can finally get a good rest tonight.

Lin Yu discovered that his current schedule was somewhat different from the traditional seven-day week.

Traditionally, weekends are holidays on Saturday and Sunday, but Lin Yu's schedule is more relaxed on Wednesday and Thursday.

His part-time job and university classes are mostly concentrated between Friday and the following Tuesday.

In other words, Lin Yu's week is actually out of sync with the week on his calendar. For Lin Yu, today is the weekend.

Never mind, I should get some rest first.

the next day.

Six o'clock in the morning.

Lin Yu reluctantly got out of bed.

Oh no, I've gotten used to this healthy lifestyle.

In the past, if he had nothing to do in the morning, he could sleep until 11 or 12 o'clock and have lunch directly, saving the cost of breakfast.

Now, things are much better. As long as he doesn't stay up too late the night before, he wakes up promptly at six in the morning. He's even developed the bad habit of eating breakfast.

As Lin Yu went for his morning run, he remembered that he had to work 8 a.m. that day.

Well, today doesn't really count as the weekend.

Who works 8 a.m. on weekends?

However, to Lin Yu's delight, his memory from this morning was quite good. Having lost a lighter, Lin Yu had gained superb barbecue skills.

Adasi's barbecue tastes pretty good!

After having breakfast, Lin Yu returned to his apartment, took a quick shower, and tidied himself up before heading to the classroom.

Senior student Li Mai had already discussed today's class in the group chat beforehand, hoping that the group members could discuss it together.

As soon as Lin Yu entered the classroom, he saw Li Mai waving at him.

Lin Yu generally didn't want to sit with his senior, not for any other reason.

It's not because Senior Li Mai is bad.

She's a very nice person, meticulous in her work, and well-prepared; she even bought him breakfast.

The main reason is that the senior student occupied the seat in the very center of the first row of the classroom.

Sitting in this position is like putting yourself under the teacher's watchful eye; every move you make will be clearly seen.

I'm nothing but a rat in the gutter, sitting in this bright spot.

The pressure is immense.

"Senior, why are you here?"

"This place is nice; I've always sat here."

Lin Yu fell silent.

Has she been sitting here the whole time?

He looked around.

There were a few people sitting in the other seats in the first row, but not many. Most people still habitually sat towards the back.

Li Mai is one of them.

"Senior," Lin Yu said cautiously, "don't you think... this place is too conspicuous?"

Li Mai blinked.

"Isn't it good to be conspicuous? The teacher can see you clearly, and you can see the teacher clearly too."

Lin Yu thought for a moment.

That seems... to make sense?

But he still felt something was off.

Lin Yu took a deep breath and walked towards Li Mai.

The seats were arranged in a row of three, with Li Mai sitting in the left seat, and two empty seats next to her.

Lin Yu sat down to her right, in the middle of the three-row seat.

Fine.

Anyway, those who are failing a class don't dare to play on their phones, so listening to the lecture is a good option.

Although Guan Kejing likes to criticize others, his professional skills are still excellent.

Li Mai took a stack of documents out of her bag and handed them to Lin Yu.

"This is a preliminary summary of the last survey. Please take a look and see if there are any problems."

Lin Yu took the documents and flipped through them.

Li Mai has converted all the content into electronic files, done some preliminary sorting, and printed them out.

"Senior, your efficiency is amazing..."

"It's alright," Li Mai said. "I've been tidying it up whenever I have free time these past few days."

"I should have done some of this work. How did you manage to do it all by yourself, senior?"

"Your handwriting is quite clear. I just took a picture, recognized it, and then proofread it. It didn't take much time."

"That's good……"

Lin Yu and Li Mai were discussing the progress of their group project when they saw Su Wanqing walk in.

"here!"

Lin Yu waved his hand, gesturing for Su Wanqing to sit down. "I can't be the only one sitting in front with my senior."

Su Wanqing's expression changed when she saw where Lin Yu was.

First row, right in the center.

I doubt many college students would voluntarily sit there.

She paused noticeably, indicating she wasn't very willing to come over.

Lin Yu continued waving, a warm smile on his face.

Come on, come on over.

The seats were arranged in a row of three, with Li Mai sitting on the left, Lin Yu in the middle, and the seat on the right empty.

Su Wanqing gritted her teeth and sat down to Lin Yu's right.

……

Zhou Minghao walked towards the classroom with excitement in his heart.

Su Wanqing, she's a famous beauty in school!

If it weren't for the fact that no one was organizing a school beauty pageant, he would definitely have voted for Su Wanqing.

Now that a senior student in the group is taking the lead, I can sit next to Su Wanqing in class today!

With excitement, Zhou Minghao saw Su Wanqing as soon as he entered the classroom.

She sat in the first row of the classroom, making her very conspicuous.

She was whispering to a man.

That wretched man, his mouth was practically touching Su Wanqing's ear!
