Chapter 26 The Battle Against Early Romance!
To be fair, Lin Jianlu dislikes skirts as a type of clothing.
Of course, I'm not saying she would look bad in it. In fact, according to Sister Xuanxuan, with her figure, she would look good even if she wore a burlap sack.
Of course, I'm not trying to cosplay Marilyn Monroe. Although she also had short, bright blonde hair, the important thing is the vibe. In terms of vibe, she's just not in that category at all.
Not feminine enough, too sharp, not like a girl, more like a tomboy.
This is how many people describe her, which may also be a kind of aesthetic inertia.
However, Lin Jianlu didn't care about these comments. She just felt that the skirt was uncomfortable to wear, her legs felt cold, it was inconvenient to move around, it was easy to get caught on some strange things, it was not good for kicking people, and there was a risk of exposing herself.
Haven't you all noticed that in horror movies, when the female lead is escaping, her skirt always gets caught in various places for one reason or another, giving the monster an opportunity to get in?
Moreover, due to the law of diminishing marginal utility, she felt she was already pretty enough, and even wearing a pretty dress wouldn't significantly improve her appearance. A score of 60 to 90 was a matter of life and death, but a score of 90 to 95 was too costly. Therefore, after careful consideration, she seriously concluded that dresses were a mistake, a trap for her, and that she hadn't worn a dress in recent years.
Sigh, sometimes I really feel like I'm out of step with other people because my thinking is too meticulous.
But at this moment, seeing the beautiful white fringed dress on the girl in front of her, her thinking seemed to become less meticulous.
"Damn it! Girls' skirts are the fucking rulers of the world! How can they be so fucking beautiful? I want to fucking crawl into them and never come out again!"
Such an unsound idea didn't come from her head, but rather from her sister Xuanxuan whispering in her ear.
In their thirties, after getting married and having children, women lose their sense of shame and begin to indulge in expressing their true feelings.
"Little deer, little deer, listen to your sister's advice, you really have to wear this dress, you can't not wear it! Look at others, and then look at yourself, sigh, hurry up and wear it, otherwise when you get a little older, your legs and butt won't hold up anymore, you'll look old and faded, even if you wear stockings, it won't look good..."
The young woman's jealous voice seemed to resentfully devour the phrase "the passage of time."
But Lin Jianlu paid no attention to the incessant chatter. It wasn't that she was young and naive, ignoring all talk about the fleeting nature of youth; rather, it was the identity of the slightly awkward girl in the white dress that truly impressed her.
No wonder he needed a girl to pretend to be his boyfriend. A girl as sweet and gentle as her would have to comfort every guy who failed to confess to her for a long time. She can't handle guys.
"Hello." The handsome blond girl extended her hand and gave the girl in front of her a warm smile. "I'm your exclusive boyfriend, Lin... Lin the War God. May I ask your name?"
"Um..." The girl in the white dress pursed her lips, smiled demurely, and extended her small hand.
"Hello, my name is Cheng Xiuxiu."
……
"Do you think I have a chance of getting her hooked up with the 'Goddess of the Void'?"
On the subway to Wenxing, Chen Chen rubbed his chin and asked a serious question.
"You have such a narrow perspective."
Yan Yiyan sighed helplessly.
"You're always clinging to your damn 'God of Video Games,' don't you know that video games, including 'God of Video Games,' are just a niche hobby?"
"No way, it's obvious that every subway station is full of 'Zoo Gods,' and there are tons of 'Zoo Gods' cosplayers at anime conventions. 'Zoo Gods' have even topped the charts in 56 countries! The whole world is playing with 'Zoo Gods'!"
Chen Chen glanced at the silent crowd and clicked his tongue.
"It seems you still don't have a real grasp of how 'God Zero' topped the charts back then. Let me tell you, who were his competitors on the paid charts? Honor of Kings! Clash of Clans! Uma Musume! Fate/Grand Order! PUBG... They were all top-tier, unstoppable force in the paid charts, yet our great 'God Zero' still managed to climb to number one by stepping over them! That's what you call real achievement! This is real achievement..."
Sigh, Uncle Chen is bringing up the glorious story of the 56 Kingdoms' ascent to the top again.
"Hmm...which one should I choose?"
"Is that even a question? It's definitely Meow Meow! Who wouldn't rush to choose a cool, big-appetized green Smoothie that can also make them look like a fat cat?"
"No, that's not it." Ninja-san held up his phone, solemnly telling Niu Zibin on the character creation page of the game "Rock Kingdom," "I'm asking whether to choose a white-skinned loli or a brown-skinned loli. This is really important to me!"
Chen Chen stood there, frozen in place.
All you see are the smiles of the new bride; where is the weeping of the old?
Has God really become a thing of the past?
Sigh, why is this? Is it true that modern people's aesthetic sense is constantly declining? They can no longer appreciate even art like the "God of the O" that is designed to be as accessible to the general public as possible?
He couldn't help but start to reflect.
……
When the subway arrived at the station, everyone got off, scanned a few shared electric bikes, and headed towards their destination.
"We really have to thank our class monitor. If she hadn't given us Cheng Xiuxiu's address, we'd probably still be sitting in Bailian right now," Niu Zibin said with a laugh.
"It's not necessarily a bad thing," Ninja Sang replied. "Although this place is far from the city and lacks entertainment, it is exceptionally peaceful and quiet, making it a good place to recuperate."
Yes, as they ventured deeper into the river, the scenery became increasingly lush. As far as the eye could see, the water flowed gently, the grass was verdant, and the distant forests stretched out in layers, creating a truly soothing sight.
"As expected of a villa district, this place is really nice."
"But what I'm actually concerned about is whether this place is a bit too remote."
"So what if we're off course? Cheng Xiuxiu gets picked up and dropped off by private car, unlike us who have to struggle to ride our electric scooters for so long."
"Actually, it's good enough to have a ride at all."
Chen Chen said seriously, "The reason I said this place is remote is because I'm worried that it's not in the motorcycle service area. If they cut off the power for us, then we'll have no choice but to leave."
Just as he finished speaking, a ding-dong sound rang out.
"You are outside the service area and your power will be cut off soon."
Everyone turned their suspicious gazes toward Chen Chen.
"Hey...this...it stopped by itself, it's not my fault!"
……
Fortunately, the group was not far from their destination.
After leaving the shared electric bikes by the roadside, the group switched back to the most basic mode of transportation: walking.
This place is really big; each villa has a front yard of at least a hundred square meters. The group was even worried that the area was too big to find a place, but luckily, after asking a passing sanitation worker, they finally arrived at the door of No. 12 Linjianyu.
Chen Chen rang the doorbell.
"Is Cheng Xiuxiu home?"
The sound wasn't loud, far too faint for Lin Jian... no, Lin Zhanshen, who had already entered the villa with Cheng Xiuxiu, to hear, but it instantly sent a chill down her spine.
Because suddenly, this line of text appeared in my field of vision—
