At 3 a.m., the landmines in front of the station

It can't be eaten, can it?

Su Che was quite curious about her statement.

"You can ask anyone for books, right? You probably have many good classmates around you, and they're all better at studying than me. Why choose me?"

He asked the question directly.

The approach used is "The Art of Perspective: The Great Trick of Bad Water," which uses comparisons between oneself and others to indirectly extract core information.

Now,

Lin Xiao realized that she had no choice but to tell the truth.

He had no choice but to pause and fall silent.

After holding it in for ages, until the school bell rang, he finally confessed hesitantly and earnestly:

"Because Su is so handsome, I've secretly swooned over you so many times, even if you don't realize it."

Chapter 87 Children's Speed ​​Race: How Raw Rice Becomes Cooked Rice

Regarding how others perceive you.

Su Che never paid much attention to it.

Because I always choose to stay in a corner when I'm out,

When walking, I habitually and subconsciously choose to walk in shaded areas.

Walking against the sunlight, the indoor area appears larger than the outdoor area.

Therefore, they mistakenly assumed that they were nothing more than insects with no presence.

Sometimes, we don't realize that genetic inheritance is a crucial factor in determining how others perceive us, and it cannot be ignored.

Su Che's height and good looks are inherited from "that person" and his mother, who is as beautiful as a fox spirit.

The passage of time seems unable to leave deep marks on parents, so if Su Che hadn't been withdrawn at home from childhood, he would never have received such a reversed self-judgment.

Today, after being told he liked by Xiao Xiao, whom he had only met twice, he had to reflect on whether his "daytime" state was still too high-profile.

Should we pretend to be someone else, uglify ourselves, suppress external curiosity and the desire to explore, and restrain our exploratory mindset?

Of all the people around me, only Gu Zhi is like this.

Gu Zhi always dressed very thickly and deliberately wore large black-rimmed glasses without lenses...

She walks with her chest hunched and head down, trying to minimize her presence. Her purpose is clear—she wants to conceal her allure and make daily life run more smoothly.

This idea coincided with my own.

Students often follow their masters, and Gu Zhi's low-key and reserved nature has made him very fond of her.

Restraint is a sign of good civilization.

[Gu Zhi controlled the weaving with ease.]

Su Che thought to himself.

-

"Since you've put it that way, there's nothing I can do about it. How about this: if our team stabilizes and achieves some milestones worth celebrating, I'll take you to the library when I have some free time, okay?"

Bringing his thoughts back to the present, Su Che sat in the last row of the classroom and typed with a smile, "It's free."

"It sounds like it'll be a long time coming!"

After a quick calculation, Lin Xiao concluded that he was just making empty promises.

The Secretary-General is not easily fooled; he absolutely won't accept anything less than a meat pie with generous portions of filling.

She then settled for second best and began to compete in martial arts:

"I know you're very busy, and you're actually super popular. Even your senior classmates can't forget you."

Well, I don't really need much. Just think of me as a work partner, especially next time you feel like writing. You can call me along, I'll do mine, you do yours, and we won't bother each other. We can maybe have lunch together during lunch break, how about that?

—"29-Step Cutting Techniques: Motive Paralysis"

It originates from Tianhai's niche secret manual, "The True Secrets of Cats".

This strategy is only suitable for players who are in a very unfavorable situation, want to catch up later, are trying to steal opportunities but not too much, have terrible starting conditions, lack feminine charm, and want to make adjustments.

Lin Xiao had absolutely no dating experience; she'd never even held a boy's hand, let alone had a first love. She considered herself a country bumpkin who only liked literature and loud music.

Therefore, after consulting with a very trendy female subordinate in the secretariat, I decided to buy a book on internal martial arts techniques to avoid taking detours.

The reason this book was chosen from among many manuals is because the Cat's True Technique has a low entry barrier and progresses from simple to complex, emphasizing a cyclical approach.

Ultimately, the master can achieve the level of "being able to eat fish without making a sound."

It is one of the most highly recommended, cost-effective beginner guides among ordinary girls from the lower and middle classes in Tianhai City.

Su Che didn't know where her martial arts skills came from. After all, the "Bad Water Technique" was enough to deal with all the martial arts in the world. Therefore, he only needed to deal with the moves as they came.

"If it's just about working and eating, then it's not a problem."

He thought for a moment and then decided:

"It's settled then. I'll ask you out this week to meet at a coffee shop to work. But I have one condition to make up first—"

You can't ask me what style of books I write, and don't try to peek at my pen name.

After all, we're definitely not on the same wavelength, and I don't want to cause any unnecessary trouble. If that's not possible, then let's just forget about it.

"Don't worry! I understand! I don't dare show you my pseudonym! What if you find out that I'm planning to use you as the male lead in my new book? I'd be in big trouble! Sigh..."

"?? You've already said it, haven't you? You just said it, right...? Xiaoxiao, it seems I need to remind you, you're not allowed to write about me, don't have such wrong thoughts... otherwise the consequences will be serious."

Su Che was immune to most threats, but this kind made him feel numb all over, as if he were being controlled... He absolutely couldn't stand being fantasized about.

Lin Xiao seemed to have discovered his weakness; after all, she had already secretly observed his reaction when the posters were put up last time. After a little analysis, she came to a valid conclusion—

In public or in front of a large audience, if you treat him even slightly excessively, he usually won't resist.

"Okay, okay, just kidding, hahaha..."

He said "ha" a bit too often, but Su Che couldn't care less anymore.

He understood that this was something he couldn't stop; he could only wait until they went to the library to see for himself whether she had actually done it...

If necessary, she may even need to be controlled on-site.

Ugh, this is such a headache.

Su Che sent a "I'm going to take a shower" emoji, abruptly ending the chat, and kept the matter in mind.

-

……

The time for the water class flew by, and before we knew it, it was noon.

With the band's involvement, the number of things to do and people to contact each week increased dramatically.

So Su Che called Ningning around noon and asked to reduce his part-time job hours each week, either by one less day or by a few hours less.

Regarding money, although spending will be cut back, in the long run, enough will suffice.

The band is formed, and winning the trophy is more important than anything else.

Moreover, Senior Sister Yu Xi has repeatedly offered to "just ask me if you need anything, I'll consider giving it to you," a gesture as soft as a fallen angel's whisper...

If you're really short of money, you can use some chips to meet your needs at any time.

"I see. It seems you're really too busy. But that's alright, I'm always very open-minded."

The landlady listened to his request like a parent and thought it was acceptable, but not too much. So she let him choose which day to remove.

"Then Monday it is. I have a lot to do on Mondays."

Su Che made the decision.

His schedule is very packed right now.

Aside from practicing the piano, intensive rehearsals always take up at least one day, with a two-week cycle.

Then Yuan Xiao's class and Gu Zhi's company each last one day, with a blank teaching session last one day, in a weekly cycle;

Of course, spending time with your cat at home also takes time, day and night.

Therefore, having fewer repetitive part-time jobs is not a problem.

"Okay, Xiao Su, you're a celebrity in our store now, your value is on a completely different level. I've noticed something interesting: no matter how much money you offer, you'll always have a market. Isn't that strange?"

"??"

"Anyway, you can go ahead and do your thing. I'll make sure you earn more money in the shortest amount of time, as long as you don't miss long periods of work."

Ningning's lazy voice was as usual, and you could tell she hadn't gotten out of bed yet.

"Hey Ningning, you're not going to post my price list on the bulletin board again, are you? I've said I only help out occasionally, I don't take special jobs long-term..."

"I didn't ask you to take orders. I just used your image to attract outside customers, and then I set the highest price to discourage them, understand? Just relax and relax. I'm just using you as a facade. Would I rip you off?"

"..."

Su Che wanted to say "yes".

But I held back.

"Oh, I know what you're thinking. The previous times were accidents; I set the price too low. Don't worry, it won't happen again. If a rich young lady really comes to buy you, I'll give you a share of the profits."

"...Okay. Then set a top price and shut down the power."

He said he really didn't have time to be responsible for his clients' private lives anymore.

Yuan Xiao and Jiang Nai are already a handful; if the prize pool keeps piling up, then I might as well give up.

Unless one transforms into the Sea King of the Heavenly Sea and employs the forbidden technique highlighted in red in the "Evil Water Technique"—"Touch and Leave"—...

The effect is to seduce and run away, so you don't have to take responsibility for the other person. Of course, the note in bold is: "You might get stabbed to death by the girl."
