Love, Gun, Cupid

Lin Jiade's suggestion of a Saturday date to Jasmine, and the arrangement of the date, were naturally the work of this relationship coach.
According to Du Juan, in order to plan for the future, Lin Jiade must learn time management as soon as possible and become a master in this field.
Lin Jiade felt that even if he and Jasmine got together, they would have plenty of time, but Du Juan just smiled without saying a word, as if something big was about to happen.
At that moment, Du Juan suddenly glanced out the window, then continued fiddling with her phone.
"What's wrong?" Lin Jiade asked.
"It's nothing, just two stray dogs that came into the neighborhood," she replied.
The statistics are complete; the teams chosen by the group members are Real Madrid and Manchester United.
Chapter Forty-One Approaching
Lin Jiade wanted to keep his joining the Baiyun Charity Association a secret, but when asked about the reason, he had no idea how to come up with a suitable excuse.
Unfortunately, on Friday, a senior member of the club came over and spoke with the mathematics department so that Lin Chia-te could skip some classes for "club activities" instead of being considered absent and having his participation points deducted.
At that time, two female students from the department were seeking help from the counselor, and the matter quickly spread throughout the department. When Lin Jiade entered the classroom that afternoon, he noticed that people in the department were looking at him strangely.
Lin Jiade was still unaware of what was going on. He was sitting in the third or fourth row from the back, where his good buddies usually sat. He hadn't even gotten comfortable in his seat when he heard the person next to him whisper, "What's going on?"
"what?"
Why did you suddenly become interested in philanthropy?
Lin Jiade wanted to say it was because I had studied magic, but according to the confidentiality agreement, he was obligated to keep the existence of magic a secret.
If he were to inadvertently leak the secret, he would face sanctions from higher-ups. From the person who spread the secret to the person who received it, a powerful memory-erasing spell would be enough to keep everything "as it is."
“I have someone I care about, you know that, right?” he mumbled. “That’s why I joined that club.”
The reason is a bit far-fetched, but love itself is irrational, so people who are close to him can easily accept it.
However, it might be difficult to win over those you don't get along with, because experience in powerful organizations like the Baiyun Charity Association is a plus for your future employment.
So, in their eyes, he must have some connections to get in, and some of them would probably be very interested in his connections. The various unpredictable actions that arose from that interest would give him a headache.
After finishing his afternoon classes, he sprinted out of the teaching building, took the school bus to the gate, transferred to another vehicle to return to his residential area, but instead of going home, he went to a nearby supermarket to shop first.
It was Jasmine's first time visiting his home, and even though he was short on money and it was still Jasmine's money he was spending, he still wanted to make it a bit more formal: desserts, unhealthy fried foods, and carbonated drinks were temporarily left unrestricted, and he filled the entire shopping cart with them.
While waiting in line, the young man saw a girl in front of him wearing cat-ear headphones. The expensive price of those headphones impressed him; they could allow Lin Jiade to prepare ten potions needed to enhance his spells.
Of course, it can also be interpreted the other way around: that the Papastathopoulos magic system is affordable. He had watched his seniors chatting in the group chat that morning, and the casual revelation about the costs of magical research sent chills down his spine.
With the cat-ear headphones as a base, Lin Jiade felt no unease when he saw the girl in front of him casually throwing one 648 yuan after another into the game.
When he went outside, he saw a heavily made-up female tourist shouting at a selfie stick, probably recording a video. Next to her, a handsome man was drinking water continuously, as if he was very thirsty.
While crossing the street, he saw a middle-aged man with a distressed expression, unattractive appearance, and wearing a business suit pass by. He couldn't help but worry that he would end up with a bitter face when he reached middle age.
Finally, he made way for a handsome older man. These passersby were quickly forgotten by Lin Jiade the moment he stepped onto the elevator. When he got home, he saw Du Juan sitting on the sofa reading a book, and Jasmine doing her homework at the dining table.
Both of them looked at Lin Jiade at the same time. Jasmine greeted him, and Dujuan stood up. She naturally took the plastic bag from Lin Jiade and took it to the kitchen to sort and put it away.
Lin Jiade tossed his shoulder bag back into the bedroom, came out and smiled at Jasmine, "How long have you been here?"
"One hour."
Would you like some tea?
Jasmine shook her head, skipping the formalities, and held up the teaching materials, saying, "There are a few things I don't understand that I'd like to ask you."
"Okay."
Lin Jiade pulled over a chair and placed it next to Jasmine. After he sat down, Jasmine leaned closer to him so they could talk more easily. Her blue dress, like the ocean, came into Lin Jiade's view, while the white collar resembled fluttering waves.
The scent of the shower gel quickly filled the air between them. Jasmine's hair was wet, and its originally bright crimson color had faded. Strands of her hair clung to her back, making the nearby blue fabric appear darker.
Jasmine didn't wear that suffocatingly ugly school uniform; instead, she dressed up before seeing him, which deeply moved Lin Jiade.
He glanced at Jasmine several more times, making her look down at herself insecurely, wondering if there was something wrong with her outfit.
The tutoring session lasted for two hours. Lin Jiade stretched and yawned. The difference in physical fitness between humans and dragons, even dragons with debuffs, was obvious at this moment.
If Jasmine had that in mind, she could work sixteen hours a day without showing any signs of fatigue.
He chatted with her for a while. According to Jasmine, although the college entrance examination for alien races was conducted simultaneously with that of humans, alien races could apply to far fewer schools than humans. Fortunately, the school Lin Jiade attended also admitted alien students.
Lin Jiade felt even more ashamed. He knew nothing about Jasmine's situation at the time, yet he encouraged her to take the college entrance exam, presumptuously thinking that he was saving her... even though the result was good.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Jiade was preparing dinner when Du Juan sneaked in under the guise of helping out. She said with a smile, "She's more like honest than indifferent."
You mean jasmine?
"Who else could it be?"
"How to say?"
Du Juan explained, "When she came over this afternoon, she took a shower and wore a high-waisted dress to make her legs look longer. But with her figure, she'd be better off wearing 30D white stockings and trying to look cute."
Lin Jiade glanced at Jasmine in the living room and admitted that Du Juan's conclusion was correct; Jasmine's appearance was not suitable for adult clothing, even though she was almost 18 years old.
Du Juan continued, "She was very curious about your bedroom. I said I could go in and take a look, but she held back, saying she had to wait until you came back and get your permission before she could go in."
"pretty good."
"Then, as an elder, you must take on the responsibility of teaching."
Lin Jiade was somewhat confused: "I've been tutoring students all along."
“It was knowledge from a physiology class. I managed to get her to say something…” Du Juan was both amused and exasperated. “She still thinks that if a man and a woman sleep together, hug each other and do nothing, the girl’s belly will get bigger and she will lay an egg.”
"Should I start complaining about laying eggs?"
With her hands behind her back, Du Juan smiled and said, "No, that's the fun of interracial bonding. There are also the troubles. Or are you just playing around with Jasmine and haven't thought about being a good husband and helping her hatch the eggs?"
Chapter 42 Drinkwater 2 (Bonus Chapter for Winning the Game)
That was still too far off. Lin Jiade waved his hand. After washing the dishes, he took Jasmine on a tour of his house... except for Du Juan's room, which Jasmine wasn't particularly interested in.
In contrast, Jasmine was very interested in Lin Jiade's room.
Lin Jiade's room has two cabinets. One is a bookcase. Jasmine looks through the glass. Classic books are on the top two shelves, magazines are on the third shelf, and anime-related magazines and merchandise are on the fourth shelf.
Another cabinet was filled with football-related items: posters, Fuxing FC annual tickets, Fuxing FC membership cards, autographed footballs, a photo of him with a player, and collectible footballs and football boots.
In contrast, Lin Jiade's clothes were arranged in a rather messy manner: his usual clothes were piled up in the corner of the bed, his socks and underwear were put into two large plastic bags, his pants were hanging above the clothes hanger, but his shirts were buttoned up below the clothes hanger.
A computer desk, a suitcase, and an ordinary chair take up the remaining space in the room, while LED lights illuminate the posters on the wall.
Lin Jiade turned on his computer. Since he had destroyed some of the resources on the computer when Du Juan moved in, he could now confidently browse the computer's resources in front of Jasmine.
Unfortunately, Jasmine didn't look at him. Lin Jiade turned around and saw Jasmine standing in front of the bed, picking up one of the two rabbit dolls on the bedside table and reaching out to touch it.
"My family bought this when I was four years old. I thought about throwing it away when we moved, but I couldn't bear to part with it. After all, it's a childhood memory," he said.
Jasmine turned around, holding the rabbit plush toy. Lin Jiade thought she was cute, so he said, "If you like it, I'll give you one?"
Jasmine hesitated for a moment, then shook her head. Reluctantly, she put down the rabbit doll and said to Lin Jiade, "It's so nice to still have things from my family."
"I……"
"I should go back now. I bet you'll feel uncomfortable playing games if I'm here." Jasmine waved her hand. "See you tomorrow afternoon."
"I'll see you off."
Jasmine shook her head and turned to leave. Lin Jiade saw her to the door, and just as he was about to step out, she pushed him back and closed the door.
Du Juan poked her head out of her room, glanced at the time, and said in surprise, "Huh, she left at only eight o'clock?"
"She's not stupid; she could tell we didn't have any common interests to share in the evenings. If we each did our own thing, I would feel awkward if she was there, so she took the initiative to leave."
Du Juan held up one finger: "You can watch horror movies with her, and take the opportunity to hug her and develop a closer relationship."
"That's what we'll do when we watch the movie tomorrow. I'd like to take advantage of the atmosphere... and hold hands first."
Lin Jiade smiled sheepishly: "Miss Dujuan, I've thought about it for nine days now, and I think I like Jasmine."
Just now, she was simply hugging her doll and looking in my direction; such an ordinary action made my heart race.
"Aren't you going to ask about your compatibility score with Jasmine?"
Lin Jiade shook his head: "No need. That number is just a game of probability. Eriri might fail, and Keiichi and Rika might become a couple. It doesn't matter."
"Your courage is commendable. Remember to get some rest and plan out the details; you have a date tomorrow."
Du Juan looked out the window and added in her mind: If your date goes well.
On a rooftop not far away, a person lying on the rooftop using observation equipment to spy on Lin Jiade's life met Du Juan's gaze for a fleeting moment.
Despite having no evidence that the other party had actually seen him, the man in black still chose to retreat.
He took the elevator down, went home, and collapsed onto his bed. Moments later, in another residential complex a kilometer away, a girl wearing cat-ear headphones opened her eyes.
She had an ordinary appearance, but a rather voluptuous figure, making one wonder if she had undergone a head transplant. Unfortunately, the man sitting next to her completely ignored this sight and coldly asked, "How's the situation, you gold-digging sow?"
The girl sat up, stretched, yawned, and then lazily replied, "Since you're here, I think it's okay for us to call each other by our registered names, right? Myoken."
“Two flowers, if that’s what you’re hoping for.” Brother Drinking Water nodded. “Alright, I’ve granted your request. Now it’s your turn to grant mine.”
Nicknames like "Pay-to-Win Pig" and "Water-Drinking Bro" are just temporary nicknames that magic researchers engaged in shady activities come up with before a mission begins, in order to protect themselves and confuse temporary teammates and enemies... There may not be much difference between the two.
Their real code name is the name they registered with the Magical Registrar's Office of the Imperial Special Archives Bureau. Once registered, the name cannot be changed, making it very convenient to report them.
Therefore, when a magic researcher trusts a colleague, they will proactively reveal their registered name to that colleague, and the way they address each other will become fixed.
The relationship between the pay-to-win pig and the water-drinking guy, or rather, between the two flowers and Miaojian, is completely devoid of trust.
She accepted the job, and after being pulled into the conference room by Brother Drinking Water's mind magic to meet her other teammates, she followed Brother Drinking Water's instructions and transformed into a concerned citizen to report on the illegal and criminal activities of various magic researchers and alien races in the city.
Fuxing City is classified as a Tier 3 city in the Empire. The number of official supernatural forces stationed there is insufficient, and a series of unexpected cases have left human resources stretched thin. This is why Lin Jiade joined the gang to cooperate with the police.
Regardless of her accomplices' plans, the "pay-to-win" mom thought she could just stay in the safe house and do her work behind the scenes. But one ordinary evening, when the "pay-to-win" mom was preparing to draw cards, the property management came knocking.
Her family is a huge electricity consumer, and she's had accidents while DIYing equipment. In addition, although she's of average appearance, she has a hot body that makes men turn their heads 100%, so the group of men in the property management have their eyes on her.
The pay-to-win sow didn't like them. She hid the stun gun behind her back and was stunned when she opened the door to deal with them.
The property management staff, who used to stare at her, were now staring blankly, like silent statues. Behind them, a tall, handsome man with a somewhat out-of-shape physique gave her a charming smile.
A captivating, yet chilling smile.
Real Madrid 2-1 Barcelona, therefore an extra episode is added.
