Xue Hongyun's Inner Thoughts

Xue Hongyun's Inner Thoughts

Lin Yuan could not help but marvel at how powerful Photographic Memory was.

Taking advantage of the time, he went through the contents of books on physics, English, history, and more.

If there were an exam paper in front of him and he had to take it, Lin Yuan felt he could score full marks!

Before long, a burst of footsteps sounded outside the door.

Three boys walked into the dorm, chatting and laughing.

"Where did you three go?" Lin Yuan greeted them.

They were his three roommates.

"Our class meeting just ended. We ran into each other on the way back, so we stopped outside for some milk tea."

The tall, well-built boy replied.

His name was Wang Ping.

One of the roommates, Li Wencai, wore glasses and looked refined. He nodded in greeting, then returned to his own bed, turned on his computer, and began studying.

The others were not surprised. They had long gotten used to it.

The last boy looked ordinary and was somewhat skinny. His name was Liu Qing. He handed Lin Yuan a cup of milk tea and said with a grin, "I bought this especially for you. Pretty loyal of me, right?"

Lin Yuan took the milk tea and was just about to thank him when Wang Ping corrected him from the side. "You bought it, sure, but I paid for it. Strictly speaking, this milk tea is my treat!"

"It's basically the same thing. Why nitpick over one cup of milk tea?" Liu Qing said dismissively after his little scheme was exposed.

Lin Yuan did not really like milk tea. After taking only a few sips, he did not want any more.

He began studying the system.

But no matter what method he tried, he received no response.

If he had not gained Photographic Memory, he would have started to suspect that everything that happened today was fake.

"Forget it. I'll just let things take their course." He gave up researching it.

The next day.

Lin Yuan arrived at the classroom early.

He saw a cup of milk tea sitting on his desk.

His deskmate, Gu Lianyin, was sitting beside it with her head on the desk, staring blankly at the milk tea.

"Your milk tea?"

Lin Yuan walked over and asked.

"You're here~"

Gu Lianyin looked the same as usual today. Her ugly disguise somehow looked even uglier than yesterday.

"Yeah. I passed by a milk tea shop on the way here, and I figured I shouldn't keep it all to myself, so I bought one for you too. My treat!"

Gu Lianyin said with a smile.

There was something else she did not say aloud. This cup of milk tea was her thanks for what happened yesterday.

Lin Yuan sat down in his seat, picked up the milk tea, and found that it was still very cold.

Several more classmates entered the classroom. One of the girls looked toward Lin Yuan, and upon spotting him, walked straight over.

She was also carrying a cup of milk tea.

"Lin Yuan, I just bought this milk tea. It's for you!"

Several boys in the class were green with envy at the sight.

This was their class monitor, Xue Hongyun. Her father was a homeroom teacher in another class, and her grandfather had once been a soldier who went to war.

Not only did she get good grades, but she was also fairly pretty.

Her only flaw was that she had a somewhat forceful personality.

For example, once she set her mind on something or wanted something, she would do everything possible to achieve it or obtain it!

Lin Yuan was considered one of the handsome guys in the class. Back in his first year of high school, he had angered class monitor Xue Hongyun over some trivial matter.

Afterward, not only did she not retaliate, she would occasionally come talk to him, buy him breakfast, and bring him drinks, making him feel quite uncomfortable.

From then on, people in the class began spreading rumors that the class monitor was pursuing Lin Yuan.

A woman pursuing a man was not common.

What was even rarer was that Lin Yuan had actually turned her down.

Rarer still, after being rejected, the class monitor had not given up. Instead, she made a post on the school forum declaring that she liked Lin Yuan and would pursue him.

It caused quite a stir at the time.

Lin Yuan was not moved. Instead, he had grown somewhat disgusted with Xue Hongyun.

[The host's current environment has been detected. Please make your choice!]

Choice 1: Accept the class monitor's heartfelt milk tea. Reward: 10,000 in cash.

Choice 2: Refuse the class monitor's heartfelt milk tea and find a way to lower the class monitor's favorability toward you. The more her favorability decreases, the higher the reward!

Note: The class monitor Xue Hongyun's current favorability toward you is -60.

Lin Yuan: "???"

He was stunned and nearly thought he had misread it.

The class monitor Xue Hongyun's favorability toward him was actually negative!

What was going on?

The system transmitted information to him regarding favorability.

Favorability could be positive or negative, with a maximum of 100 or negative 100.

Favorability 10: You got along well in conversation.

Favorability 20: She admired you greatly.

Favorability 40: Friends/opposite-sex besties.

Favorability 60: Good friends willing to lend each other money; for women, it meant she was interested in you.

Favorability 80: Die-hard bros/she liked you.

Favorability 100: Brothers who would live and die together through hardship/loved you so deeply she could not pull herself away.

Negative favorability: 10 meant indifference, 20 meant not wanting to talk to you, 40 meant disgust, 60 meant hatred, 80 meant intense loathing, and 100 meant sworn enemies.

Class monitor Xue Hongyun's favorability toward Lin Yuan was negative, and had even reached the level of hatred.

Lin Yuan had not expected that.

If she hated him, why had she publicly declared that she was pursuing him?

What kind of logic was that?

But since the system had given him two choices.

Lin Yuan did not even need to think about it. Naturally, he chose the second option.

Her favorability was already negative, so why should he give her any face?

With that thought, he raised his head and said coldly, "No need. I don't like milk tea. Take it away."

A trace of imperceptible resentment flashed through Xue Hongyun's eyes before quickly vanishing.

Her face wore an innocent expression, as though Lin Yuan's rejection of her heartfelt milk tea had deeply hurt her.

Seeing this, the classmates were all heartbroken.

How could there be such a cold-hearted man, rejecting a girl's feelings like that!

"And one more thing!" Lin Yuan added. "Don't give me things anymore. What's so good about being a female simp?"

Xue Hongyun's gaze suddenly went blank.

Those words were like a needle piercing viciously into her heart.

He actually thinks I'm a simp?

Xue Hongyun's face turned livid.

At that moment, Lin Yuan punctured the milk tea Gu Lianyin had given him with the straw, took a big sip, then turned to Gu Lianyin and smiled. "Thank you for the milk tea. It's really good."

"Mhm~"

Sensing the subtle atmosphere, Gu Lianyin gave a soft hum.

She was very curious about what exactly had happened between Lin Yuan and this girl.

"Hmph! Lin Yuan, just you wait!"

Xue Hongyun was furious, her expression incredibly ugly.

He had actually called her a simp in front of so many classmates.

He had even said he did not like milk tea, only to turn around and drink the milk tea Gu Lianyin gave him and say it was delicious.

He was humiliating her to her face!

After throwing down those words, she stormed back to her seat, her gaze frighteningly fierce.

[Congratulations, host, for completing your choice. You successfully lowered Xue Hongyun's favorability toward you by 30. Current favorability: -90. Reward: I Know Women's Hearts skill!]

The system's voice appeared at just the right moment.

It was actually the I Know Women's Hearts ability.

Just from the skill's name, its purpose was obvious.

It allowed him to know what women were thinking inside.

They said a woman's heart was as deep as the sea, and that you should never try to guess a woman's mind.

That alone was enough to show how strange women's thought processes could be.

Now that Lin Yuan possessed I Know Women's Hearts, it might seem useless, but if he used it in certain ways...
