"Of course I know about this kind of thing."
"So, how about you..."
"——But, it is obviously impossible for me to stop."
After walking to the jewelry rack, Lin Yu said to Fu Hua calmly.
"I am my sister's brother, but I am also a warrior of destiny."
"In the past, I was a powerless loser, so that was fine. But now that I have power, it would be too shameful to choose to be afraid of death at a time like this."
"If I had chosen to escape from the battle for those reasons, my sister wouldn't have saved me from... from the hands of the assassins."
"If those seniors hadn't stood up to fight the Honkai, more people like me would have died."
"It's fine if those without the ability choose to retreat, but since I have the ability, I should of course continue along the path that everyone is working hard on."
“I believe that as long as we keep moving forward, the road will continue to expand.”
"So, I kept telling myself - don't stop."
[Looking at the astonishment and helplessness on Fu Hua's face, you understand that your speech has obviously moved her.]
[Faced with Fu Hua, who began to look bitter at this moment, you knew that she was completely stunned by the character you created.]
[Alas, at this moment you have to sigh, this person has lived for 50,000 years and is still so easy to deceive, then sooner or later you can...]
Forget it, being able to fool people for a while doesn’t mean you can fool people for the rest of your life.
Those who treat others as fools will be bitten back sooner or later.
As for Fu Hua, who had just heard all this, she suddenly felt that she was really stupid.
Even though she had burned a lot of memories, she had seen too many warriors who joined the Destiny to fight against Honkai over the years.
To put it bluntly, now that you have joined the destiny, who would be the coward who chooses to retreat because of fear and worry?
The admonition I just gave...I am such an idiot.
Even though Lin Yu is a vengeful ghost, he still has his own beliefs.
For people with strong beliefs, the nonsense I said was not only useless to them, but also insulted their beliefs.
Looking at Lin Yu in front of him, Fu Hua smiled bitterly and shook his head, completely forgetting the idea of admonishing the other party in his mind.
Then, after looking at the items on the jewelry rack, she shook her head helplessly at Lin Yu.
"I don't know your sister's preferences, so I'm sorry I can't give you much advice in this regard."
"But if I must say..."
Fu Hua casually took off a doll pendant and handed it to Lin Yu.
"My intuition tells me that if I give this to her, she might be happier."
After taking Fu Hua's pendant, Lin Yu looked closely - well, isn't this Theresa?
If I think about it carefully, Theresa seems to have an identity in the surface world... right?
Oh, now I remember, Theresa seems to be an idol in the outside world.
He had forgotten whether the event where Kiana scored zero on the test paper happened in a parallel world, but considering that Theresa herself probably didn't care about such things, it didn't seem like a big deal that Theresa's pendants were being sold in St. Freya's College.
And Rita herself would really like this thing.
Judging from Fu Hua’s reaction now, she should have completely believed in the personality I have portrayed.
This level of fraud was enough without Otto's presence.
Well, that's the end of the first act of the drama.
Act II Drama...
——Let’s wait until March 15th and then we’ll talk about it.
...
Chapter 98. What, they entered the hotel???
Of course, after choosing a birthday gift for Rita, Lin Yu did not just leave the store.
After taking the product that Fu Hua handed to him, Lin Yu immediately looked at the other things on the jewelry shelf.
Afterwards, he picked up a feather hairpin and walked directly to the counter with the two gifts. He asked the clerk to help pack them and then check out.
"Um, do you have any gifts for anyone else besides your sister?"
After taking a look at the packaged feather hairpins, Fu Hua had actually guessed something in her mind.
"Well, there's another person. I owe her a gift, too."
After whispering a thank you to the shop assistant, Lin Yu calmly handed the packaged gift directly to the woman in front of him.
"I asked you out today, I can't let you go for nothing."
"Although this is not a valuable gift, we in Shenzhou have a saying... well, the gift may be small but the sentiment is great."
At this time, Fu Hua took the gift that Lin Yu handed to her and said a little helplessly.
"Lin Yu, although I am very grateful for the gift you gave me, but... bragging is not a good habit."
"Ok, I see."
Seeing that the other party nodded so obediently, Fu Hua felt that this feeling was really strange.
To be honest, from an observer's perspective, Lin Yu has a handsome face and his temperament is not particularly outstanding but is above average.
If it were an ordinary girl, she would probably be very happy after Lin Yu handed her a gift.
But in Fu Hua's opinion, the more normal Lin Yu behaved now, the more panicked she felt.
If someone else did this to Fu Hua, she would probably suspect that the other person had some other ideas.
But Lin Yu did this...
Alas, the vengeful ghost boy is trying hard to disguise himself as a normal person.
He pretended to value family and etiquette like a normal person, but all of this was to cover up his heart that was torn apart by sadness.
Maybe I really underestimated him.
Even with the stigmata and HSN serum, Lin Yu was able to escape from the terrible Changkong City and exceed the task, which also proved that his IQ must be much higher than that of ordinary people.
How could such a Lin Yu not notice that I just felt a little pity for him because of what he said about the past and his vision of the future?
It is precisely because of the experience of sadness that the heart becomes so delicate.
And precisely because he is so delicate, he is extremely sensitive when others express their feelings towards him.
"Okay, okay, I know I was wrong."
Looking at Fu Hua who was lost in thought at this time, Lin Yu smiled helplessly at Fu Hua and said.
"A hairpin is really too perfunctory for you."
No, no, no, that's not what I meant.
"I'll treat you to a good lunch today. Bishop Otto gave me quite a bit of bonus, enough for me to splurge a little."
Lin Yu, who was saying these words at this time, suddenly smiled and said to Fu Hua.
"Don't preach or refuse at a time like this, squad leader Fu Hua. After all..."
"——Eating and drinking well will help you face the unknown future more happily, right?"
...He is really smart.
Was it because the thoughts in my eyes were too obvious, so he took advantage of my words and immediately changed the subject in this way?
But, Lin Yu, it is precisely because you don't want me to continue thinking deeply about this issue that I know more clearly what you are thinking about.
Looking at Lin Yu walking towards the door of the store, Fu Hua suppressed her emotions and could only helplessly follow Lin Yu out of the store.
Lin Yu, who was walking in front, also put away his deceptive smile at this time.
[After putting away this smile, you only feel that some of your skills have become more mature, but you also realize that Fu Hua has seen through your fake smile. ]
[But the innocent Chi Yuan Immortal didn't know that this fake smile was also part of your plan.]
[Just as she guessed, you who gave a fake smile were not happy from the bottom of your heart. Unfortunately, due to insufficient information, she could only infer the correct result, but got the process and the core wrong.]
It's rare that you are so serious today.
[Hey, this system is serious a lot of the time, and - even if you don't play a prank today, didn't you let me see a good show, dear host? ]
[You are indeed filled with anger and dissatisfaction, but this anger and dissatisfaction comes from the fact that you are controlled by others. ]
[However, you did not let negative emotions affect you. Instead, you used negative emotions as a new mask to construct a lie that was convincing enough to be mistaken for the real thing.]
[Because you are unhappy, you showed a fake smile, but in the eyes of the Red Kite Immortal, this fake smile has become a mask for the vengeful ghost to cover up his own sadness. ]
[You can even use your own negative emotions... Ha, it's only been less than a month. ]
[Even this system feels that we should sigh that your progress in this area is indeed too fast. ]
Ha, thank you for the compliment.
But knowing how to deceive others is not a good thing.
Now I have become more and more skilled in lying, and when I lie, I have gradually become accustomed to lies and feel less and less guilty towards others.
Morality is declining little by little, and my future self...
I really hope that in the future I can still stand on the moral high ground and point fingers at those evildoers, instead of sliding into a scum who is even worse than them.
In Jizi's house. Kiana's room
In Kiana's room, Yuno and Mei, who had already prepared part of the meal, looked at Kiana who was very serious, and felt...
——This world is about to change.
During this period of time, Mei and Yuno saw Kiana falling asleep in class many times.
Even when she was awake, she was distracted most of the time.
It can even be said that she hardly ever took liberal arts courses other than practical courses seriously.
So, when they saw Kiana writing so seriously, they felt that there was something wrong with the scene.
Moreover, Mei and Yuno both had good academic performance, so when they looked at the answers written by Kiana on the test paper, they found the scene even more weird.
After the two of them estimated the scores, they found that Kiana's score on this test paper had already far surpassed her usual grades.
How should I put it? This is totally not the level that Kiana should be at.
"Okay, done!"
After yelling, Kiana handed the test paper in her hand to Yuno and said to Yuno impatiently.
"Yuno, please correct the papers!"
"......No."
Yuno said softly while looking at the answer above.
"I've estimated your score. Even without taking into account the difficult questions that follow, you've already passed."
"Great - then contact Bronya!"
"OK, all right."
After picking up the phone and sending a message to Bronya, Yuno instantly received a reply message from the other party.
Hmm, it seems that Bronya has been prepared for this and even set up an automatic reply?
"What did she say—let me see!"
After putting her head close to Yuno, Kiana directly read out the content of the text message.
"Brother Lin Yu and squad leader Fu Hua entered the jewelry store."
After this sentence, Bronya even attached a short video.
