76: 76. Let go of that girl.

Seeing the intimate way Li Tong and Lin Yi acted, Guan Zhixue felt a wave of anger.

She hadn't expected them to actually get together!

And to think, Lin Yi was actually driving a panamera.

Was he that rich now? Could he afford to rent such an expensive car?

It must cost several thousand a day to rent that!

Guan Zhixue gnashed her teeth in frustration.

It was under the instigation of Li Tong and the others that she had resolutely chosen to break up with Lin Yi back then.

But now, Li Tong herself had gone off to get entangled with him.

If she hadn't let him go back then, maybe she would be living a good life now too.

Thinking back on the considerate details of how Lin Yi used to treat her, and comparing that to the way Liu Jiangbo acted like a coward now, the difference was stark.

Guan Zhixue felt a pang of bitterness in her heart.

"I don't believe Lin Yi has completely forgotten our past."

"Isn't there a saying that a prodigal son's return is worth more than gold? It should still be in time for me to turn back now."

"Lin Yi... you just wait for me!"

...

...

Li Tong had managed to book a spot at a trendy restaurant today.

When they arrived at the restaurant, the streetlights were just flickering on.

Sitting on the restaurant terrace and watching the bustling traffic of the busy district, it was exceptionally romantic.

During the meal, Li Tong talked a lot about herself to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi played the role of a listener very well.

To judge whether a girl is sincere with you, just see if she is willing to share her own matters with you.

If a girl is with you, being gentle and considerate in every way, but remains tight-lipped about her own life, don't doubt it—she is definitely fishing for you.

But if another girl, while with you, seems a bit scatterbrained and silly, yet is willing to share everything with you.

Then she must be genuinely interested in you.

For girls, the desire to share is extremely strong.

Just by seeing who they are willing to share with, you know who is important to them.

After finishing the meal, Lin Yi subconsciously prepared to get up and pay the bill.

The two of them had eaten over eight hundred yuan worth of food.

Although he couldn't farm cash rebates from Li Tong anymore, for the current Lin Yi, eight hundred yuan was just a drop in the bucket.

Since he was out eating with a girl, there was no reason to let her pay.

But just as Lin Yi took the bill and prepared to pay, Li Tong blocked him.

"We agreed that this meal would be on me."

Li Tong's expression was serious.

She really wanted to redeem her previous image as a gold digger.

She wanted Lin Yi to know that she genuinely liked him.

Seeing that he couldn't win, Lin Yi let Li Tong have her way.

Li Tong: Favorability + 5 points

Current Favorability: 95 points.

"Ding, favorability of the bound target has increased. Congratulations, Host, you have received a reward of 5 points."

Lin Yi scratched his head and looked at Li Tong, who was paying the bill at the counter, deep in thought.

As the favorability got higher and higher, it seemed to be getting a bit harder to increase it.

However, compared to just giving blindly, sometimes letting the girl contribute accordingly could actually increase their favorability.

Although Lin Yi had grasped this pattern, he still couldn't quite figure out the underlying logic for the time being.

"Forget it, no point thinking too much about it. As long as it increases favorability, it's a good thing."

"Li Tong is almost at one hundred points, keep it up!"

After Li Tong finished paying and returned, she saw Lin Yi staring at her with a smile.

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

Li Tong subconsciously took out her small mirror to check.

"No, I just think you look especially beautiful today."

Lin Yi teased.

Hearing this, Li Tong felt shy, her heart fluttering like a little deer.

Lin Yi stood up and took the initiative to hold Li Tong's hand.

"Let's go, I'll take you shopping!"

The mall was right downstairs, and Lin Yi wanted to see if he could increase the final 5 points of favorability by buying things.

But things didn't go as planned.

After a few hours, Lin Yi had bought Li Tong many things, bags in hand. Although Li Tong liked them and was very happy, the favorability remained at 95 points.

There was absolutely no change.

"It seems this can't be rushed."

"I'll find another opportunity later..."

Lin Yi shook his head helplessly and drove Li Tong back to her dormitory.

Along the way, Li Tong kept her head down, clutching her hands tightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she said nothing.

...

...

After dropping Li Tong off at the dormitory, Lin Yi still decided to drive back to the villa to stay.

After all, he had already bought the house, so he couldn't just leave it empty.

The super large bed in the bedroom was very comfortable to sleep in.

Lin Yi rolled down the car window and slowly drove out of the school gate.

He let the cool evening breeze blow away the heat on his body.

Outside the north gate of Nanling University was a small path that few people walked.

At night, the streetlights were obscured by dense foliage, making visibility poor.

Lin Yi hummed a tune while driving on this road, feeling the breeze against his face.

Suddenly, a cry of alarm came from the side of the road.

Lin Yi subconsciously narrowed his eyes and looked over, only to see seven or eight drunkards cornering a girl against a wall.

One of the drunkards was about to make a move, but the girl suddenly exploded into action, sweeping a whip kick toward the side of the drunkard's face.

The drunkard took the hit solidly and spat out a mouthful of blood and foam.

His gaze turned from lecherous to fierce.

"Damn bitch, you won't give me face, huh!"

"Brothers! Take her down for me!"

The few drunkards laughed lewdly as they surrounded the girl.

The girl was obviously trained; she wasn't willing to sit and wait for death, so she fought back, her moves and techniques quite professional.

But the drunkards also looked like they knew how to fight; their thick arms clearly showed muscle hidden under fat.

Moreover, as a girl, compared to these drunkards, the disparity in strength was too great.

Just as the girl kicked out, her ankle was firmly grabbed by one of the drunkards.

"Weren't you quite impressive just now? Why don't you kick again and let us see?"

With one leg held up by the drunkard, the girl could only barely maintain her balance on the other, unable to resist at all.

"Let me go!"

The girl shouted angrily.

But how could that group of lecherous drunkards let her have her way?

The drunkard holding the girl's ankle applied a little force, lifting her leg higher and putting her in a somewhat shameful position.

Due to momentum, the girl lost her center of gravity and fell backward.

Behind her, another drunkard grabbed the girl's body from behind, his greasy face pushing hard against hers.

"Don't worry, brothers will take good care of you!"

After saying that, he rummaged through the girl's pockets, seemingly wanting to see if she had any money.

However, he only found a student ID.

"Xu Dongqing... a college student?"

"Yo, we hit the jackpot, brothers! We got a female college student today, hahahaha!"

Xu Dongqing was so anxious that tears streamed down her face.

She had gone out for a night run and had specially chosen a different route today, thinking that this road would be quiet and less crowded.

But she didn't expect to run into something like this.

The dignified president of the Combat Club was being molested by a few drunkards.

And she had absolutely no power to fight back.

A sense of humiliation and helplessness welled up.

It looked like she was in grave danger today...

What should she do...

Was her innocence going to be...

No...

Don't...

Just when Xu Dongqing was filled with despair, a voice rang out from behind the burly men.

"Animals, let go of that girl!"
