3:17 PM.
In a remote corner of the online world—the web chat room of the 【TheVoiceofheart】 portal site—the members, whose IDs were only numerical codes, once again fell into a heated discussion.
004: “That’s not right! Which idiot sent that fake Lu Yibei’s itinerary to Hua Xieyu?”
013: “I told the people below me to send it, what’s wrong?”
009: “Why didn’t you inform us in advance? Without discussion and analysis, you changed the plan on your own. Plan 13, are you an insider?”
015: “The analysis and plan were made by 013 and me. Three days ago, we received information about the fake Lu Yibei being active at Huacheng Institute of Technology and worked overtime to create it. We’ve already reported it to the administrator. What’s the problem?”
004: “There’s a problem. You made a plan without conducting cyclical research and verification. You two don’t seem very professional?”
013: “Heh heh!”
001 【Administrator】: “Alright, everyone calm down. Although 013 and 015 are relatively junior, their plan this time is quite reliable. Let’s stop arguing about this and quickly study the other backup plans?”
Seeing that the administrator had spoken, the people who had been arguing incessantly quickly quieted down.
Meanwhile, in a company in a certain large city, in that small cubicle, the man moved his mouse, closed the web page, and ended his short and happy time of slacking off.
004 and 009 were being sarcastic about 013 and 015 being unprofessional, but in his opinion, 013 and 015 might even turn around and mock them for not understanding the strategy!
Letting Hua Xieyu come into contact with Paper Cicada Immortal did have some risks, after all, that Paper Cicada Immortal who had awakened self-awareness was ridiculously flirtatious.
The man curled his lip dismissively.
However, precisely because of this, letting Hua Xieyu foolishly go and flirt with Paper Cicada Immortal, and then letting Lu Yibei discover it at the right time, would naturally allow them to connect.
It could also alleviate Lu Yibei’s suspicion of Hua Xieyu. This was a strategy, a roundabout tactic!
Even if that Calamity was by his side, helping him observe the red thread of fate, it didn't matter.
She controlled the Power related to marriage, but she also had to abide by the rules corresponding to that Power. The man thought with certainty.
Normally, for a couple to get together, a catalyst is needed, and this so-called catalyst is a chance encounter and a series of unexpected but reasonable events.
Now, the initial encounter has been completed, and what remains is a series of events. The man thought, glanced at the message he had just received on his phone, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Phoenix: “Chairman Adult, Paper Cicada Immortal has taken the bait. It has invited Yu Jianqiu’s best friend to a cold drink shop on the pedestrian street to help her read her horoscope.”
Reading horoscopes. The corner of the man’s mouth twitched slightly, recalling an unpleasant experience.
That experience taught him a life lesson: good-looking boys, even if they ask girls to read horoscopes, or even ask girls to look at luminous watches under the covers, can succeed without fail.
As for someone like him, helping a girl read her palm almost scared her into calling the police.
Phoenix: “Also, Chairman Adult, I don’t know who leaked the information, but the Elder Council seems to have already learned about this plan targeting Lu Yibei and should be taking action soon.”
The man looked at his phone, pondered for a moment, and replied, “I understand.”
It seemed he would have to make a trip to Gray Forest Cabin later. Speaking of which, it had been a long time since he had visited those few. The day after tomorrow was the weekend, and he still had three days of annual leave left this year. Adding the weekend, that would be five days. Five days for a round trip should be fine, the man thought.
Although all Psychic and urban legend who were relatively well-informed knew that there were two factions within the Eclipse Society, the Elder faction and the Chairman faction, and that their relationship was tense, often tripping each other up in secret.
But at least, on the surface, the two factions had not yet reached the point of a complete fallout.
Therefore, as long as the Chairman went to Gray Forest Cabin to visit, the Elder Council would certainly all be present to receive him.
As long as the Elders of the Elder Council did not have the opportunity to act personally, the man was not worried about other members of the Elder faction disrupting his plan.
After all, in terms of personal ability and execution efficiency, his confidants were superior to most members of the Elder faction.
While the man was thinking, a male colleague approached his cubicle and asked, “Want to get together after work? Have some drinks and play cards.”
The man looked at his colleague, forced a polite yet awkward smile, “I won’t be going. A senior relative at home had something happen, so I have to go back to my hometown immediately after work.”
“Alright! Have a safe trip.” The male colleague said, then turned and walked towards the group of colleagues gathered together discussing after-work activities.
They didn't care if the man would attend the after-work gathering, nor did they care if he was really going back to his hometown to visit a senior relative, or if he was going to suppress the entire Eclipse Society Elder Council within the Gray Forest Cabin by himself.
Their invitation was just the courtesy of adult social interaction. Anyway, as a company outlier, the man never participated in their activities. If I really went to participate in their activities one day, it would probably affect the atmosphere of the gathering, right? The man thought, sighing silently.
On the other side, Huacheng Institute of Technology.
In a small garden in a corner of the campus.
Ju Meng and Lu Yibei were squatting behind a rockery, suspiciously observing something. That scene couldn’t help but remind one of the “Let’s poop together when we have time” emoji.
“Are you sure this thing has a red thread of fate with me? This is definitely not a person or a Strange Tale, right? Smelly Girl, tell me honestly, are you reliable or not?”
After wandering around the school for a while and finally verifying the first potential marriage partner, Lu Yibei felt that Ju Meng was playing a prank on him.
“You dog! How dare you doubt me, your Sister? I am very sure, this is one of your potential marriage partners.”
“Moreover, isn’t this pretty good? Look at her fair body, with a little bright red on her forehead. This is a rare ‘one red spot’ appearance!”
Ju Meng said while trying hard to hold back her laughter.
Looking at the large koi in the small pond behind the rockery, he was speechless for a moment, his mood complicated. Old Dad finding me such a potential marriage partner, perhaps he thought koi could bring good luck?
Although he had known for a long time that some of his potential marriage partners were absurd existences, seeing it with his own eyes was still somewhat unacceptable.
And that large koi also seemed to have some intelligence, deliberately swimming back and forth within his line of sight, displaying its streamlined, plump figure, as if trying to tempt him.
However, this kind of temptation was completely ineffective on Lu Yibei, and instead attracted several male koi, circling around the “one red spot,” constantly rubbing their bodies against the “one red spot’s” flesh.
Damn! What kind of husband-present plot is this?! Splash!
Lu Yibei, exasperated, slapped the water surface hard. The school of fish was startled and scattered in all directions. “Smelly Girl, are you interested in eating braised koi tonight?”
Ju Meng, “?”
Good heavens! You beast, what do you want to do? That’s your fiancée! ———-

After spending an entire afternoon at Huacheng Institute of Technology, Hua Xieyu learned that “Yu Jianqiu” had a good best friend, and this best friend had already connected with Lu Yibei before she even came to Hua City.
Hua Xieyu looked at the message she had received on her phone, which instructed her to meet up with her best friend after class. “They even arranged a wingman so early, that’s quite professional?!” ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Muttering to herself, Hua Xieyu packed her textbooks, got up, put on her backpack, left the classroom, and headed towards the meeting point indicated. After walking through half the campus, she walked along the building flower avenue for a while, turned at a fork in the road, and arrived at the pedestrian street. Hua Xieyu quickly found her “good best friend” in a cold drink shop.
After waiting for a moment in the cold drink shop, “Lu Yibei” appeared before them as scheduled. “Over here, over here!”
Seeing “Lu Yibei’s” figure appear, the good best friend excitedly waved to signal.
“Lu Yibei” heard the call, looked in the direction of the sound, his gaze lingered on the good best friend for a few seconds, and his attention quickly shifted to Hua Xieyu.
Although she had long since adopted the role of Yu Jianqiu, like a timid little cat, she lowered her head, trying not to attract attention, but her beauty could not be hidden.
This Miss is at ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) least 8.252 points!
One for the price of one, I came to the right place this time... “Lu Yibei” thought.
Since starting his life as a swindler, he had secretly arranged a comprehensive appearance scoring standard for the girls he had come into contact with, making it seem like he was playing a trading card game.
Moreover, the scoring method had Lu Yibei’s own style, even accurate to three decimal places.
He walked forward with a smile, but as if he didn’t see Hua Xieyu, he immediately started talking to the good best friend. It was as if he was a patient hunter, waiting for the prey to walk into the ambush range on its own.
“Senior (female), I remember your birthday is November 21st, right?”
“Mm-hmm!” The good best friend nodded, “I only said it once, and you actually remembered it?”
“Of course! Every minute and second spent with Senior (female) is a precious moment. If I forget, what’s the difference from a crime?”
“Lu Yibei” chatted leisurely with the good best friend, his words ambiguous, while Hua Xieyu observed from the side.
She found that although the good best friend had actively approached “Lu Yibei,” “Lu Yibei” was indeed very good at flirting. In just a few words, he made the good best friend cover her mouth and giggle, then subtly changed the subject and led the conversation to her.
“Oh, sorry, I forgot to introduce her. This is my good best friend, Yu Jianqiu!” The good best friend introduced under the guidance of “Lu Yibei.”
“I bumped into her on the way from class just now, so I called her over too. You don’t mind, do you?”
“Not at all, not at all! There’s enough for everyone!”
“Lu Yibei” said, smiling and waving to Hua Xieyu.
Hua Xieyu, “...” A little strange! Didn’t we just meet this morning? Why does he seem to not recognize me at all?
After a brief thought, Hua Xieyu guessed that this was probably some kind of tactic by Lu Yibei, but she didn’t plan to expose it. This was a mission after all.
“Lu Yibei” wanted to use a tactic on her, and why wouldn’t she want to use a tactic on “Lu Yibei”?
Come on! Let’s see whose tactic is deeper?!
The good best friend’s reaction wasn’t slow either, she immediately followed “Lu Yibei’s” lead and said, “That’s right, there’s enough for everyone. We have to make you pay this time.”
“No, no need.” Hua Xieyu lowered her head and mumbled softly.
That appearance was clearly that of an introverted girl with poor social skills, conservative thinking, who didn’t want to have too much contact with frivolous boys, but was too embarrassed to leave directly because of her good best friend’s face.
And that flustered yet somewhat shy expression, in the eyes of “Lu Yibei,” was like a targeted drug, hitting the sore spot. Hey, this Miss is interesting!
Directly ignoring Hua Xieyu’s refusal, “Lu Yibei” said excitedly, “Then you agree with me, right?” After saying that, without waiting for Hua Xieyu to answer, he turned and walked towards the cashier.
And Hua Xieyu, at the moment “Lu Yibei’s” gaze fell on her, seized the opportunity, gently shook her good best friend’s arm, and cast a pleading look at her.
Acting at its finest!
Scumbags love to harm these pitiful, slightly foolish girls, Hua Xieyu understood. Because they are easy to deceive.
Catching Hua Xieyu’s uneasy expression, like a frightened deer, “Lu Yibei” curled the corner of his mouth meaningfully.
Hiding? Can you hide?
Sooner or later, I will open a gap in your heart and get in! —
Huacheng Institute of Technology, pedestrian street entrance, Lu Yibei and Ju Meng walked side by side.
Lu Yibei ultimately did not strike a fatal blow and let the “one red spot” off the hook, then pulled Ju Meng to the pedestrian street.
Lu Yibei always felt that Ju Meng helping him find a potential marriage partner was true, but her weird pranks were also true. If he continued to be led by the nose, he might find even more absurd potential marriage partners than the big koi.
This pedestrian street is full of people coming and going. If I can find a potential marriage partner, at least it will be a person, right? Lu Yibei thought.
“I thought you were really going to kill your wife to prove your devotion just now!”
Lu Yibei squinted at Ju Meng, annoyed, “Can you stop talking? Although that was a bad match, we have broken up peacefully and parted on good terms.”
Although it was a unilateral declaration of breakup, I will never go to that small garden again. Lu Yibei added secretly in his heart.
Looking at Lu Yibei’s expression, which seemed to say “I might never love again in this life,” Ju Meng suppressed her laughter, patted his shoulder, opened her mouth slightly, and was about to comfort him a few words.
Just then, a bright red thread suddenly materialized from virtuality in her line of sight, becoming clear and trembling slightly. That was a sign that Lu Yibei’s potential marriage partner was nearby!
From Lu Yibei’s chest, following the trajectory of the red thread, she looked all the way to the other end.
When she finally found the potential marriage partner, Ju Meng was stunned for a moment, her eyes wide. “You dog...”
“Huh?” Lu Yibei turned his head to look at Ju Meng, “It couldn’t be that it appeared again, could it?”
“Yes, look over there.”
Following the direction Ju Meng pointed, Lu Yibei was startled, frowning, “What is it? The new potential marriage partner is a Phoenix brand bicycle?”
Having just experienced the baptism of the big koi, he suddenly felt that a Phoenix brand bicycle didn’t seem so difficult to accept.
“Not there, a little bit to the side, inside the cold drink shop!”
Hearing this, Lu Yibei shifted his gaze to the cold drink shop, and then saw an unbelievable scene.
Through the glass window of the cold drink shop, he saw “himself” holding a tissue, intimately wiping the milk foam from a Miss’s mouth.
And he knew that Miss, it was Yu Jianqiu, whom he had just met that morning.
