My skill tree increases every day.

"It seems our selection process didn't specifically mention considering demeanor."

Su Wanqing nodded, seemingly about to agree.

Lin Yu's eyes lit up.

There is a play!

Seeing that Su Wanqing was showing signs of softening her stance, he quickly pressed his advantage.

"That's right! Our singing competition is about singing!" Lin Yu chimed in, "It's not a beauty pageant."

"Otherwise, you would definitely have been number one last year!"

Lin Yu decided to add fuel to the fire and began to fawn over Su Wanqing.

"You have good taste."

Flattery will get you everywhere; no one dislikes being praised, and Su Wanqing is no exception.

Sure enough, Su Wanqing's lips curled up slightly.

"You have good taste."

Lin Yu nodded quickly.

"That's right, I've always had a good eye for talent."

Su Wanqing glanced at him, her eyes filled with a smile, and made a small joke.

"Alright then, you can come over tomorrow. Serving me tea and water, giving me a shoulder and leg massage would be nice."

The atmosphere between the two became more and more relaxed, and they were even able to make some harmless little jokes.

This shows that they have indeed become familiar with each other.

Lin Yu felt a surge of joy in his heart.

Become!

"Okay! What time tomorrow? Where?"

"Two o'clock in the afternoon, third floor of the student activity center, club office," Su Wanqing said. "Don't be late."

Lin Yu nodded.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely arrive early this time."

After class, Lin Yu couldn't wait to send a message to Liu Zhiyuan.

Lin Yu: Are you confident you can handle one yuan?

Liu Zhiyuan: What's wrong?

Lin Yu: I said, are you confident that you can convince Yi Yuan to participate in the preliminary round?

Lin Yu: I have connections. Tomorrow I'll sneak into the audition for the Top Ten Singers and see if I can get him a hand.

Liu Zhiyuan: ? ? ?

Liu Zhiyuan: You have such connections? Who is it that can open a back door for you?

Lin Yu: Don't worry about that. Just prepare in advance. Don't let things fall apart later.

Liu Zhiyuan: Leave it to me! Just you wait and see!

Although Liu Yiyuan was unaware that he had already registered for the preliminary rounds of the Top Ten Singers competition, he was even less aware that he had most likely already fought his way through the brutal preliminary rounds.

But that doesn't prevent him from learning both pieces of good news at the same time.

Double happiness is auspicious.

Liu Yiyuan: Lying in my dormitory, joy came from heaven.

Lin Yu couldn't wait to see his surprised expression!

Lin Yu was also extremely worried, doing everything from flattering him to serving him tea and water, and massaging his shoulders and legs.

It's all for the sake of our eldest son! A father is never afraid of hardship.

"What's wrong with you two? Why are you laughing so lewdly?"

Liu Yiyuan looked at the two people who were staring at their phones with lewd smiles on their faces with a puzzled expression.

That's right, while Lin Yu and Liu Zhiyuan were secretly plotting through their phones, Liu Yiyuan and Li Si were walking not far from them.

After all, get out of class just ended, so where could they possibly go?

"I'm thinking of happy things."

……

the next day.

1:51 PM.

Lin Yu arrived at the student activity center early and took the elevator to the third floor.

Lin Yu arrived earlier than the girl today.

Unlike before, when girls would wait for him, there's no reason for him to wait for girls now.

This floor of the activity center is dedicated to club activities, and most of the school's club activity rooms are located here. It houses not only music clubs, but also drama clubs, dance clubs, and the photography club that Lin Yu participates in, among others.

Lin Yu walked down the corridor and quickly found the music club's activity room.

The door was not opened.

Even when I put my ear close, I couldn't hear anything from inside the door.

After ruling out the possibility that the door has excellent sound insulation, there is only one conclusion.

nobody.

Lin Yu stood still and looked at his phone.

It's already 2 o'clock.

"..."

What's going on?

Wasn't it supposed to be 2 PM?

He arrived early this time. How come the others haven't arrived yet?

Please... no, please!

Lin Yu stood at the door, caught in a dilemma.

Let's go, what if they're coming soon?

If we don't leave, there's nothing we can do standing here.

Just as he was about to send Su Wanqing a voice message to inquire about the situation, light footsteps came from the end of the corridor.

Lin Yu looked up and saw Su Wanqing walking quickly towards him.

She was stunned when she saw Lin Yu.

"You...so early?"

Lin Yu straightened up.

"Didn't you tell me not to be late?"

Su Wanqing blinked.

"I told you not to be late, not that you had to arrive early."

Lin Yu: "..."

He glanced at his phone.

2:12.

Su Wanqing: "...Okay, I was a little late."

With a click, Su Wanqing took out her key, opened the door, and went inside.

Lin Yu followed behind, muttering to himself:

"You told me not to be late, but you ended up being late yourself."

Su Wanqing turned around and glanced at him.

"What, you have a problem with that?"

"No objection, no objection. How could I, a mere tea server, dare to have any objections? You're the boss today, whatever you say is right."

"Hmph! That's more like it. Come here, Little Lin, give me a shoulder massage and a leg rub."

"Dele!"

"oops--"

Lin Yu's sinful hands gripped Su Wanqing's trapezius muscles, his fingertips exerting fierce force.

Today, Lin Yu gained access to the memories of an old Chinese medicine doctor who had practiced essential oil back massage, bone setting, and massage for decades.

Just when she was worried about having nowhere to put her skills to use, Su Wanqing started acting up right there.

Just you wait, you little drama queen.

Su Wanqing's shoulders were slender, with perfect right angles. Even through the thin T-shirt, Lin Yu could feel the outline of her shoulder blades and the two thin shoulder straps.

Her hair was tied in a ponytail, revealing a section of her fair nape, with a few stray hairs hanging down her side.

Su Wanqing's trapezius muscles are very thin, showing no signs of training whatsoever.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"

Su Wanqing let out a scream and almost jumped off the chair.

"It's okay if it hurts. Where there's free flow, there's no pain; where there's pain, there's blockage. I have a technique for this; once it's opened up, it'll be fine."

Lin Yu's current hand skills are comparable to those of a veteran Chinese medicine doctor with decades of experience. Not to mention, after accumulating a lot of memories, his hands are definitely more dexterous than most people's.

That is, to massage the shoulders, or to massage Su Wanqing's lower body.

Lin Yu was confident that he could make Su Wanqing so happy she wouldn't be able to speak.

Of course, this refers to foot massage, meridian scraping, and the like.

"I don't believe you, you must have done it on purpose!"

Su Wanqing turned around and glared at her angrily.

"Your neck and shoulders are indeed quite stiff. Have you been maintaining the same posture for a while recently?"

Lin Yu began to explain.

"Listen to me, it won't hurt anymore once you rub it in. Try it again if you don't believe me."

"Really?"

Although Lin Yu was right, he had indeed been using his phone a lot lately, and his shoulders and neck were a bit sore.

But thinking about the pain she had just felt, Su Wanqing was still somewhat skeptical.

"Really. Absolutely true."

"Okay, you can't lie to me."

Su Wanqing turned her back again and lifted the ponytail that was hanging down her neck.

Following the method he remembered, Lin Yu stretched out his hands again.

Starting from the trapezius muscle, slowly knead and gently rub until you reach Su Wanqing's smooth, fair neck.

"Um……"

Su Wanqing let out a soft, comfortable groan.
