Chapter 298: Chapter 262: Sublimation is Art, Grandpa is Progressing, What About You?

"Disciplinary committee, I’m going to the restroom."

"Me too."

Upon hearing that, Cai Xiaoqing glanced at the two of them and responded with an ’oh’.

"But no leaving early."

"Alright, we’re really going to the restroom, don’t worry." Lin Dong assured, and whether they actually went or not was his business, "Then we’re off."

Lin Dong sneaked out of the classroom, followed closely by Sun Zhicheng.

Since the two frequently went out together, the class was already used to it, so no one paid attention, chalking it up to a restroom break.

After going downstairs, they walked a bit further. They stopped only after their figures slipped behind a small flowerbed under the bulletin board, disappearing into the darkness.

Sun Zhicheng looked back at the brightly lit senior year teaching building, clearly feeling the restlessness as school was about to end.

"Brother Dong, can we talk now?"

"Of course, it’s inconvenient to talk upstairs, you know." Lin Dong finished, then cleared his throat with a cough, "Listen carefully to what I’m going to say next."

Finally... is the big one coming?

Sun Zhicheng held his breath, focusing entirely on the serious-faced Lin Dong.

"Alright!"

"Chatting is just to pass time and provide emotional value." Lin Dong set the tone with his first sentence of the lesson, "Focus on three things, the first is selection."

"Select who?"

"Your chat partners, limit it to three sentences with anyone. If you can chat, do it; if not, withdraw." Lin Dong bent his first finger.

"Don’t worry about that, I’ll introduce you to those willing to chat."

Hearing this, Sun Zhicheng recalled for a moment, realizing it was true.

Even though the girls Lin Dong introduced to him had boyfriends, they didn’t refuse to chat. Their responses were enthusiastic, and the conversation flowed smoothly.

"Brother Dong, impressive!"

"Not worth mentioning." Lin Dong bent his second finger, "The second is emotional value, specifically providing new experiences."

"In other words, your only competitor is her boyfriend. Make her feel chatting with you is an upgrade or a new experience, go all out on what works."

This time, Sun Zhicheng didn’t quite understand but planned to remember it for now.

"And the last one? Brother."

"The last thing, also the most crucial part." Lin Dong spoke solemnly, word by word, "Never expose your true identity!"

Sun Zhicheng was startled, with scenes of a boyfriend confronting a rival playing in his mind.

He got nervous and scared.

"Brother Dong, if I get caught, what... what happens?"

Lin Dong didn’t speak, just gave a mysterious smile.

"Take a guess?"

Sun Zhicheng didn’t want to guess, frowning in thought for a while.

"Brother Dong, can’t I chat with girls who don’t have boyfriends?"

Lin Dong frowned upon hearing this.

"See, you’re impatient again. What did I say before?"

Sun Zhicheng was stunned for a few seconds, licking his lips.

"Not skilled enough?"

"Exactly, you can’t rush things." Lin Dong patted his shoulder, speaking earnestly, "Ah Cheng, take it slow."

With that, Lin Dong planned to head upstairs.

He didn’t have high hopes for Sun Zhicheng, just wanted to help out a bit for the sake of their friendship, hoping he wouldn’t turn into a joke.

At least aim for a dual-face turtle; after all, that person really did manage to win over the pink jellyfish beautifully.

An ultimate evolution from a dog licking to a Hellhound.

Though there were successful cases, in the end, lickspittles are foolish beings, who would like a foolish creature? Looks, humor, and manners are all key factors for success.

Not too outstanding, just having them is enough.

Though Lin Dong had tons of theories, unfortunately, Sun Zhicheng’s wooden head. Speak too profoundly, and he wouldn’t understand. In essence, the emotional value...

Lies in the gain.

Lu Mingfei’s routine of taking Hui Liyi shopping was overused, but it was still an idea. With you, she must gain something.

Novel experiences and things not only make her feel you’re amazing but also create an illusion.

She feels amazing too, elevated.

What does elevation mean? Simply put, it’s like... you’re preparing for civil service exams, what are you doing?

Though just an experience, it temporarily makes her feel her own value has increased. The social circle has risen, or she’s met interesting or impressive people. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

It’s sure to win, buddy.

These are Lin Dong’s conclusions from nine years of online chatting from elementary to high and middle school, his golden theory, the King Law.

Unfortunately, Ah Cheng only knows babbling.

"Brother Dong!"

Suddenly, Sun Zhicheng called out to Lin Dong.

"Hmm?"

By the flowerbed, half of Sun Zhicheng’s face was shrouded in darkness.

He seemed a bit nervous, even swallowing before speaking.

"Brother Dong, if I learn all these, can I win the girl I like? Or even snatch her back from someone else and make them regret it?"

Lin Dong raised an eyebrow, "How’s that? A competition?"

"Yeah! Take her back, do you think it’s possible?" Sun Zhicheng’s breathing was erratic, he was clearly determined, "Brother Dong, tell me honestly."

In the night breeze, Lin Dong was silent.

"Don’t overthink it, just work hard and improve yourself first."

"Alright!"

While going upstairs, Lin Dong felt a bit heavy-hearted.

He didn’t know what to say; understanding the ways of the world is all knowledge. It’s well-known that wooing is an art, even a science, full of mysteries.

Some things, even if your level is high, don’t mean you can roam the world freely.

The young man hasn’t donned his sword, yet he’s already in the world. But little does he know the world is treacherous, where predators lurk, rising above many warriors.

In Class Three, Lin Dong could clearly distinguish who was higher ranked than him.

Jiang Nian and Zhou Yuting were the famous duo. Fully maxing out on appearance, physique, and emotional value, but that’s not the core.

The core is... not caring about gains and losses, unwavering in will, maxing out defense.

Maxing out resilience.

.....

There were five minutes left until the end of evening self-study, and the class’s restlessness couldn’t be contained anymore.

Chen Yunyun like clockwork stretched lazily, turning to see Wang Yuhe reading an extracurricular book.

"Finished your chemistry homework?"

"Didn’t do it, will do it during tomorrow’s morning self-study." Wang Yuhe shook her head, ready to continue reading.

Chen Yunyun was a bit puzzled, turning to see what book Wang Yuhe was reading.

"What are you reading?"

"’Life’ by Lu Yao." Wang Yuhe flipped the book cover to show Chen Yunyun, "Chai Muying lent it to me, I got hooked immediately."

"Huh? Why?" She was bewildered.

In terms of grades, Chen Yunyun’s scores were actually not as good as Wang Yuhe’s in the past.

She was scatter-minded, liked chatting with classmates, and thus easily got distracted. Later, by chance, she refocused, and though nothing else improved, her grades soared.

She surpassed Wang Yuhe by over thirty points in the last major exam.

"Because it makes me upset, I don’t understand why the protagonist..." Wang Yuhe dragged Chen Yunyun along, describing the plot with emotion.

"Qiaozhen is so nice, how could Gao Jialin be so blind? Doesn’t that just infuriate you!"

Chen Yunyun blinked and let out a sound.

"Don’t get mad, I heard we’re getting five exams tomorrow."

Wang Yuhe’s face changed, almost fainting, angrily exclaiming.

"It’s all Gao Jialin’s fault!"

Chen Yunyun laughed, but also got curious and asked a bit more.

"I remember Chai Muying bought Mo Yan’s book, why don’t you borrow that?"

"Huh? No way." Wang Yuhe seemed to remember something, as if she’d seen it before, her face turning pale, "Don’t say that, one read and it’s unforgettable for life."

Chen Yunyun didn’t read much, not inclined towards being a literary girl.

She mostly read magazines or more common books. Seeing Wang Yuhe’s intense reaction, her little curiosity extinguished immediately.

After evening self-study was over.

Jiang Nian walked out and happened to meet Sun Zhicheng’s gaze.

The other’s eyes were strange, as if hiding a lion; you also read Lu Mingfei?

He didn’t care, grabbed his bag, and left swiftly.

The school, frustratingly, extended evening self-study to be a bit friendlier towards boarding students. After all, without evening self-study, the dorm atmosphere for doing homework isn’t as good as in the classroom.

Day students have it a bit rough, having to stand firm in windy or rainy nights.

Those farther away get picked up, but for someone like Jiang Nian, living about a kilometer away, it’s all on foot. Close your eyes and just sprint home.

Rumble!

Speak of the devil.

A thunder dragon rolled in the clouds, squeezing out extra droplets. Almost instantly, a fine drizzle descended, soaking the night.

Jiang Nian naturally didn’t bring an umbrella, but fortunately, Xu Qianqian beside him did.

After all, the rain wasn’t heavy, estimating no need to scramble to take cover like last time.

The two of them, along with Song Xiyun, stood at the school gate, and the three only had one umbrella.

"Didn’t you bring an umbrella?" Jiang Nian stood in the middle, dividing the positions of the two best friends.

There was no chance to adjust, as the school gate was surrounded by a dense crowd of senior students without umbrellas.

Half waited for parents, while a third just charged forward. Using school uniforms to cover heads and bags, they dashed into the misty night rain without thinking.

Overhead, pale white floodlights cast their beams, illuminating puddles in front of the school gate and the raindrops falling in the light shafts.

Song Xiyun’s face was a bit pale, lips slightly moving.

"No..."

"No worries, we’ll wait here with you." Xu Qianqian quickly chimed in, then looked at Jiang Nian, "If you’re in a hurry, you can just run home in the rain."

Song Xiyun lived on the other side of town, her mom Zhao Qiuxue picked her up daily.

Xu Qianqian worried that Jiang Nian would, as usual, only think about going home to play games, often impatient when asked to stay a bit after school.

So, she quickly gave him a heads-up.

Yet, unexpectedly, this time the jerk didn’t oppose.

Jiang Nian just nodded and gave an ’oh’.

"Then let’s wait, it won’t take long anyway, and we can watch others getting wet."

Song Xiyun turned, glancing at Jiang Nian.

For some reason, she felt Jiang Nian’s attitude towards her seemed to have improved, though he still seemed deadpan, it wasn’t like before...

All in all, it was hard to pinpoint, but it seemed like he wasn’t as mean when he spoke as he used to be.
