359: I understand you.

Lin You immediately pulled his arm out of Qian Manzhi's embrace as if he had been electrocuted. The large "water balloons," jostled by Lin You's arm, visibly shook a few more times.

Qian Manzhi immediately showed a wronged expression, as if saying—

"Why can Han Shaozhen do it, but I can't?"

Lin You understood what Qian Manzhi meant. His eyes glanced at Han Shaozhen's hands holding his arm—she was just holding it with both hands, not sandwiching Lin You's arm against her chest.

Qian Manzhi blushed again and felt too embarrassed to speak further.

Han Shaozhen, who was a bit of a naive sweetheart, didn't realize that her new good friend Qian Manzhi was trying to steal the boyfriend of her other good friend, Xie Xingmeng.

Seeing Lin You agree, Han Shaozhen grabbed Lin You's arm and shook it, happily saying, "I knew it, Lin You, you're the best to me~"

Next, Han Shaozhen leaned close to Qian Manzhi. The two girls stuck together, whispering about where to go for dinner that night.

Lin You followed behind the two girls, playing on his phone, smiling helplessly.

In private, Lin You always regarded Han Shaozhen as his "Good Daughter," but in reality, he saw her as a younger sister. Although Lin You and Han Shaozhen never called each other 'Brother' or 'Sister,' Han Shaozhen held a very high place in Lin You's heart.

Lin You had a younger brother, Zhang Yunchuan, and had been a brother for over ten years, but how could a brother with a little brother compare to a brother with a little sister?

A little brother is the older brother's loyal servant, but a little sister is a pearl in the palm!

Wasting a little time for Han Shaozhen was no big deal. As for Qian Manzhi being there... that was all an accident!

How could Lin You have known Han Shaozhen would call Qian Manzhi along?!

...The girls at Normal University were not only numerous but also of high quality. Lin You originally planned to browse his phone, but after a few casual glances, he put it away and concentrated on enjoying the Normal University girls' winter "fashion show."

Girls at Nandu University usually wore down jackets in winter, perhaps in slightly brighter colors, but the winter attire of the Normal University girls was a dazzling display of competition.

Lin You even saw girls wearing knee-high socks, exposing a portion of their thighs.

Beautiful, loved watching!

After Han Shaozhen and Qian Manzhi finalized the location, they turned back to look at Lin You and noticed his eyes darting around.

"Stop looking! You already have such a beautiful girlfriend as Xingmeng, yet you're still looking at other girls!"

Qian Manzhi was stunned upon hearing this. She had heard from her Older Brother, Li Qingbo, that Lin You had already confirmed a dating relationship with Du Zhaoyu at Nandu University.

Qian Manzhi also knew that Lin You had a very good relationship with Xie Xingmeng and Wang Xiaoyi from his former high school class, but she had thought they were just good friends... So, was Lin You currently dating Du Zhaoyu and Xie Xingmeng simultaneously?

Surely Wang Xiaoyi wasn't Lin You's girlfriend too... Qian Manzhi discovered a "terrible" truth, standing rooted to the spot, looking at Lin You with complicated eyes.

Lin You was handsome, academically strong, physically capable, had a history of acting bravely for a just cause, and possessed excellent character. For a 19-year-old university student, his charisma points were practically maximized.

Naturally, Qian Manzhi liked Lin You. She firmly believed Lin You was a top-tier potential stock and would definitely be even more outstanding in the future.

Therefore, even knowing that Lin You liked other girls and already had a girlfriend, Qian Manzhi kept sticking close to Lin You, constantly highlighting her presence and boosting her favorability score.

Qian Manzhi thought—

Anyway, student relationships are usually short-lived. Once Lin You and Du Zhaoyu broke up, she would "take advantage of the vacuum." Relying on her looks, figure, family background, and sincere heart, she could definitely win Lin You over.

After becoming a couple, she would be devoted to Lin You, pampering him into the happiest boyfriend in the world. That way, she could be with her ideal type, Lin You, for life~

But... Lin You seemed to be a Scumbag who wanted to juggle multiple relationships!

Qian Manzhi and Li Qingbo's families ran large businesses and had extensive family networks.

Qian Manzhi knew from a young age that many of the elders in her family—grandparents and parents, whether kind or stern—kept mistresses and illegitimate children outside.

To Qian Manzhi, this wasn't exactly novel, but not finding it novel didn't mean she thought it was right.

It wasn't wrong to like pretty girls, and it was understandable to simultaneously like several pretty and excellent girls.

But... Lin You actually put this into practice, genuinely dating more than two girls!

This instantly cracked the "Great, Glorious, and Correct" image Lin You had always held in Qian Manzhi's heart.

Dinner was Teppanyaki costing over five hundred per person. Qian Manzhi was treating. The ingredients, taste, and service were good, but Qian Manzhi was a little gloomy.

Han Shaozhen studied Psychology. Although she was a bit of a naive sweetheart, Qian Manzhi's expressions and movements were almost exactly as described in the textbooks she had studied. If she couldn't figure this out, wouldn't half a year of classes have been wasted?

"Zhi Zhi, do you have a boy you like?"

Qian Manzhi and Lin You instantly looked up simultaneously, staring at Han Shaozhen, whose IQ seemed temporarily maximized.

Han Shaozhen pushed up non-existent glasses and announced clearly, "When most people are troubled by love, their eyebrows push upward, their brows droop slightly, their eyes are hollow and dull, lacking luster and focus. They will stare at a certain spot for a long time, facial expressions diminish, reactions to surrounding stimuli are sluggish, and they unconsciously perform small actions, such as fingers unconsciously tapping tables and chairs..."

Han Shaozhen finished the long monologue like reciting a textbook, then pointed at Qian Manzhi like the grade-school detective Conan.

"Zhi Zhi's facial expression just now was practically textbook... so, she definitely likes a boy again, and she was just thinking about him!"

Qian Manzhi subconsciously looked at Lin You, then moved her gaze away as if she had been electrocuted.

If it were before, Qian Manzhi wouldn't have been so flustered, but today she had just learned that Lin You was a Scumbag juggling multiple relationships. She didn't know... if the admiration and affection she felt for Lin You still had any reason to continue.

Lin You reached across the table and tapped Han Shaozhen's head. "You learned all that Psychology knowledge just to use it on your friends, huh?"

Han Shaozhen had been staring at Qian Manzhi the whole time, and she completely caught the moment Qian Manzhi subconsciously looked at Lin You and then quickly looked away.

Oh no!

Lin You, that villain! Failing to seduce me, he succeeded in seducing my new best friend!

Regarding liking Lin You, Han Shaozhen certainly had the right to speak.

Among the many girls around Lin You, she was the first one rescued by the hero, but she cut ties early, changing their interaction model quickly because she didn't want to lose two precious friendships.

But as a girl, Han Shaozhen was still very aware of Lin You's charm.

Sigh!

Han Shaozhen sighed and patted Qian Manzhi on the shoulder.

Good sister, I understand you, but Lin You already has Xingmeng. You shouldn't try to squeeze in.
