A new guide to winning over a girlfriend with an abstract identity is released every week.

Even if we can't be lovers, can't we still kiss?

He kept thinking about his mission to meet Jiang Luoyu.

How about I ask her out tomorrow?

But... we've only known each other for two or three days, is it okay for me to kiss her?

......

Back in the classroom, Zhang Xuan was sitting in his seat, grinning foolishly.

Ever since he met Wei Yang, he's like a completely different person.

At this time of day, he should be sleeping or studying at his desk, but now he spends all his time chatting on his phone.

"Oh, it's Lao Lin. Back from picking up girls?"

Zhang Xuan raised an eyebrow at Lin Zheng, indicating that his buddy was also keeping pace.

"What were you talking about again? Look how happy you are."

Lin Zheng rolled her eyes at him and quickly slipped into her seat.

"Look, here you are."

Zhang Xuan showed Lin Zheng his phone screen.

Zhang Xuan: Yangyang, what type of guy do you like?

Little Yangyang: Your type,

The other party is currently typing, indicating they have more to say.

The next moment, a string of words was sent.

Little Yangyang: I don't like it.

Upon seeing this news, Lin Zheng immediately burst out laughing.

Zhang Xuan, who hadn't seen the phone screen, was still grinning foolishly.

"Hey buddy, why don't you check what your goddess sent you this time?" Lin Zheng suppressed a laugh and immediately reminded him.

"Ok?"

Zhang Xuan quickly checked the message. Upon seeing this sentence, he felt as if his world had collapsed, and the smile on his face vanished instantly.

No, the smile didn't disappear; it just moved to Lin Zheng's face.

At this moment, Zhang Xuan stared blankly at his phone screen. The blue light from the screen shone on his face, and through the window beside him, he could vaguely see a clown man holding a phone in silence.

However, little Yangyang sent him another message: "Guess if what I just said was true?"

Upon seeing this, Zhang Xuan immediately pulled Lin Zheng aside to discuss countermeasures and what the situation was.

"Old Lin, what should we do?" He looked at Lin Zheng pitifully.

"Go back to hell! This woman is such a green tea bitch, and you still can't see it? You've been hooked up with her and you don't even know that?" Lin Zheng immediately started to criticize him.

This guy is really obsessed with love and goes crazy for three years.

He also lamented how terrible "scumbag women" can be.

This would probably be considered a Tier 0 character.

It would be strange if Zhang Xuan, an ordinary NPC, didn't obediently become her fish.

"What tea stuff? Look, Yangyang just left a comma in her message, which means she didn't finish her sentence. We're clearly overthinking it."

Alright, the fish have learned to defend the fisherman themselves.

Seeing that Lin Zheng remained silent and was just looking at him like he was an idiot, Zhang Xuan was not annoyed and immediately replied to Wei Yang, "It's fake."

Wei Yang quickly replied: "Of course, but I prefer the kind that is handsome, tall, and rich."

Upon seeing this, Zhang Xuan immediately pulled Lin Zheng aside and asked him about it.

"Old Lin, I'm 174cm tall, which shouldn't be considered short, right? Yangyang is about 162cm, so I should be considered tall."

As for being handsome, to be honest, I'm not sure either. Although I'm handsome, I don't know if I'm Yangyang's type.

By the way, what I need most right now is money.

Sigh, it's so sad. I met the girl I wanted to take care of for the rest of my life when I was at my most helpless age.

Graduating quickly, graduating quickly! Once I graduate, I'll go get a job and have money!

Zhang Xuan clenched his fists and let out a low, determined roar: "I! Zhang Xuan! Will save Wei Yang!..."

Lin Zheng was completely stunned. This was the first time he had ever seen a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) virgin boy chasing after a girl. It was so exciting and exhilarating that he was speechless for a moment.

Chapter 25 Jiang Luoyu's Personality

It must be said that study notes may not be the best, but they are certainly very comprehensive.

It took Lin Zheng an entire afternoon to finish reading that thick chemistry notebook.

Because of the extra points he had already gained, his chemical thinking was incredibly strong, and the knowledge he had read was absorbed into his brain like a sponge absorbing water.

Of course, his chemistry grades were also improving rapidly.

After turning to the last page, Lin Zheng immediately found a chemistry test paper and started working on it.

The result made him beam with joy.

Good, you got 90 points this time.

Chemistry rarely presents problems that are too abstract and require a certain level of intelligence to solve.

He couldn't get a perfect score because he hadn't accumulated enough knowledge. After all, about 5% of the questions on chemistry exams require some extra knowledge to solve, and Jiang Luoyu obviously didn't know that much, let alone had any notes on it.

After school, he would go to see her as usual.

During the ambiguous period, how can you not press your advantage?

Besides, tomorrow is Saturday, and the two of them might not see each other. He wasn't sure if she would agree to go out with him tomorrow.

"Luo Yu, Lin Zheng is here to see you again."

Jiang Luoyu, who was getting up to go home, looked out the door at Shu Rui's prompting. Her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and she sighed helplessly.

Lin Zheng's affection was too intense, even though she actually had some feelings for him now.

But now is not the time to be in a relationship; she needs to focus all her energy on the college entrance examination and strive to get into a 211 university.

Otherwise, she would regret it for the rest of her life if she actually went to study at Songyun Academy.

"If you're short on time in the afternoon, why not just find somewhere outside of school to eat?"

As Lin Zheng walked out of the teaching building, he voiced his doubts.

Jiang Luoyu's home is not close to the school. It takes more than an hour to walk there and back. In addition, she might have to wait for dinner when she gets home, so she won't get back to school until at least 6:30 pm.

Wasting more than an hour of study time is clearly not in line with Jiang Luoyu's personality as a test-taker.

"There's nothing I can do, I have no money. I only have ten yuan a day. Two yuan for the bus in the morning, three yuan for breakfast, and five yuan for the canteen noodles at noon. That's it."

Jiang Luoyu frankly admitted that she had no money, and then sighed.

Let's leave aside the students from the counties and districts and talk about the locals.

Other students earn at least twenty or even thirty yuan a day, but she only has ten yuan. She lives a very frugal life.

Fortunately, she will graduate from the college entrance examination soon. After graduation, she will find a job and save up for her living expenses during college.

As for the college application fee, you can apply for a student loan, which is interest-free for five years.

In this way, she only needs to work full-time during winter and summer vacations and do some part-time jobs during the school year. She can basically support herself throughout college and reduce the burden on her family.

The bitterness of youth will eventually blossom into its own unique flower.

Thinking of this, a hopeful smile appeared on her face, and she was very optimistic about her future.

However, when Lin Zheng heard Jiang Luoyu say that she was poor and had no money, his expression immediately changed.

There was no way around it; Zhang Xuan's memories of the past two days were still fresh in his mind. These "normie queens" were truly terrifying.

He tentatively asked, "A gambling father, a sick mother, a younger brother in school, and a broken woman?"

"Huh? What did you say?" Jiang Luoyu snorted and looked at Lin Zheng strangely.

"Cough cough, it's nothing."

Lin Zheng coughed twice, thinking that Jiang Luoyu shouldn't have anything to do with those scumbag women.

With her looks, does she need to actively pursue rich guys?

If she weren't so studious, she would have been surrounded by a bunch of rich kids vying for her attention.

Seemingly realizing the meaning behind Lin Zheng's words, Jiang Luoyu chuckled twice.

She is an open and honest person, and she doesn't hide anything or worry about being looked down upon.

She quickly explained, "The main reason I don't have money is that my family has a mortgage, and my parents aren't the kind of people who can earn a lot of money, so they can only give me ten yuan a day, which is just enough."

"I see." Lin Zheng nodded, seemingly lost in thought.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly grabbed Jiang Luoyu's wrist, which was covered by her school uniform, and led her to a fast food restaurant on the side of the road.

Before Jiang Luoyu could speak, he explained, "The college entrance exam is coming soon. If you go home and back like this in the afternoon, it will take you more than an hour. If we eat outside the school, you can save more than an hour a day to study. That adds up to more than 20 hours a month!"

It's a pity the school cafeteria is closed in the afternoon, otherwise Lin Zheng would have dragged Jiang Luoyu to the cafeteria for a meal.

Cheap and filling.

As for why the cafeteria is closed in the afternoon, he said he didn't know.

"But... but I don't have any money..."

Jiang Luoyu broke free from Lin Zheng's hand, lowered her head and stood shyly at the restaurant entrance, refusing to go in, whether out of shyness or financial constraints, it was hard to tell.

"It's okay, I'll lend it to you."

Lin Zheng turned to look at her, then pushed her into the fast food restaurant.

Jiang Luoyu didn't want to go, but Lin Zheng was too forceful. She was like a scared kitten. Even though she struggled and bared her teeth, she could only be forcibly pushed in in the end.

She only stopped struggling after entering the restaurant and finding it crowded with people.

Being surrounded by people, timid, and standing still without daring to make a move is a true reflection of her inner state.

She only sat down reluctantly after Lin Zheng ordered two fast food meals.

Jiang Luoyu felt a little embarrassed. It was the first time a boy had forced her to do something, especially one that cost money. She didn't know what to say for a moment, and finally uttered two words softly, "Thank you."

"No need to thank me, just owe me how much it cost. A fast food meal is only twelve yuan."

I roughly calculated that there are still 31 days left until the end of our college entrance exams, including a 10-day holiday. That means you can eat with me a maximum of 21 meals. One times one equals one, two times two equals four, three times three equals fourteen...

Lin Zheng pretended to do the calculations, and when he recited the multiplication tables, especially the wrong and funny version, Jiang Luoyu burst out laughing.

"Okay, okay, I'll owe you that for now. I'll pay you back after I graduate from high school and start working." She didn't hesitate any longer and immediately took out her phone to send a message to her parents, saying that she wouldn't be home for dinner that night.

However, Jiang's mother understood that her daughter was under a lot of academic pressure, and without saying a word, she transferred thirty yuan to her.

But Jiang Luoyu didn't accept it, because she knew that it might be the family's food money for a day.

She simply replied to the message that a friend had kindly lent her the money and that she would repay it after she graduated from high school and took a summer job.

As her daughter was about to come of age and enter society, Jiang's mother didn't impose many restrictions, simply replying with a "okay."

After finishing their meal, the setting sun was fading in the sky, its red light shining down on the two people strolling along the sidewalk, dazzling and scorching.

Fortunately, a gentle evening breeze swept away the heat that had risen from their bodies after they finished eating.

Lin Zheng silently calculated in his mind and realized that dating really does cost a lot of money.

Gold coins lost: +12.

But Jiang Luoyu will probably pay it back, right?

Isn't this much better than Zhang Xuan, that sucker?

Moreover, he found Jiang Luoyu to be a really strange person.

I told him at noon that we could be friends first, and I never expected that I would actually treat him as a friend, sweeping away my previous coldness and unfamiliarity.
