Chapter 51: In short, first put on a golden hat for yourself.

"Activity One and Activity Three, immense life risks... with his current abilities, is there a possibility that he could feel threatened by Yuzao Haomei?"

She’s just an ordinary, pretty high school girl, albeit a bit materialistic.

On the contrary, there’s Jiutiao Meijie, capable of killing him and indifferent to human life, and he wasn’t warned of any life danger when getting back together with her.

Dubian Che didn’t understand women, nor did he understand love, and didn’t know whether this activity had anything to do with a woman’s psychology or love, but he had an intuition: the life risk must definitely be coming from Jiutiao Meijie.

He simply couldn’t take any risks with this activity.

If it were just his life, he might risk it, but he had parents. No one could guarantee that Jiutiao Meijie wouldn’t take her anger out on them.

Ensuring that his parents could live a life that was not wealthy but at least safe and healthy was what he should do.

The only activity he could participate in this time was Activity Two, getting back together with Jiutiao Meijie.

If successful, he could not only learn the "" worth a hundred thousand points using only five thousand points, but also continue to gain sign-in rewards.

Dubian Che thought this while walking into Class Four.

The classmates saw him and whispered among themselves.

Dubian Che kept a neutral expression, pretending he didn’t hear.

Was it last night’s confession to Jiutiao Mei and the slander from Kiyono Lin that spread? Or was he seen running like a fool in the heavy rain?

’Keep calm, keep calm, don’t mind other people’s gaze!’ Dubian Che recalled the disdainful smile of Kiyono Lin to restrain his embarrassment.

He forced himself to act as usual, walked to his seat, took out his textbook, and was just about to put on his earphones to listen to the morning radio news when Saito Keisuke rushed in.

"Dubian! I heard you and Kiyono Lin are together?"

"What?" Dubian Che took off the earphones he had half on.

Saito Keisuke, out of breath, leaned on the desk: "Someone said they saw you two going to school together, all smiles and laughter! Are you dating?"

"First," Dubian Che flicked his index finger out from under his thumb, "we weren’t going to school together, we just met by the shoe lockers."

He raised his ring finger: "Second, I was the one who spoke, and only Kiyono Lin laughed."

He raised his pinky: "Third, we’re not dating, and it’s impossible for us to date."

Saito Keisuke blinked and looked at Dubian Che’s right hand: "What’s that hand gesture?"

Dubian Che flicked his final middle finger out from under his thumb, slinging the eraser on the desk at Saito Keisuke’s forehead like a hidden weapon.

"Lastly, don’t spread rumors."

"Damn it! So it’s the ’Serious Series・Serious Flick’!" Saito Keisuke held his forehead.

"You’re just too fond of ’One Punch Man’," Dubian Che teased, relieved in his heart that at least it wasn’t about last night.

"That’s the romance of a man!" Saito Keisuke placed the eraser back on Dubian Che’s desk: "Dubian, tell me honestly, what’s really going on between you and Kiyono Lin?"

"Minister and club member, not even friends."

"I don’t believe it." Saito Keisuke’s face had an expression that said ’don’t hide it from me’: "Even if you aren’t dating, Kiyono Lin, who doesn’t associate with anyone, willing to walk with you shows there’s definitely something between you!"

"The affairs of the first and third in the grade, is it your place to gossip about as thirty-sixth in our grade?" Due to the complexity of the actual situation and the hassle of explaining, Dubian Che joked to brush it off.

"Ugh—" Saito Keisuke slumped over the desk, clutching his chest as if gravely wounded, "Dubian, you’re too harsh."

Dubian Che patted his shoulder, comforting: "Reality is always harsh; you have to learn to accept it."

"I’m going to study now! Right now! You just wait and see in the midterm exam!"

After Saito Keisuke left, a latecomer, Kunii Shuichi, came to ask again, making it difficult for Dubian Che to study properly.

"How did this spread so fast?" he complained.

"You two, in broad daylight, in front of the whole school of teachers and students, walked from the first floor to the third, how could it not spread fast! Just tell me, how far have you two gone! Did, did you kiss?"

"It’s a rumor, I said it’s a rumor!"

If this continued, Dubian Che felt that even if he didn’t get back together, he would face great life risks without participating in the game activity!

Just in case, while Kiyono Lin was announcing the exam schedule in the morning class meeting, he secretly messaged Jiutiao Meijie with his phone.

"Meijie, there’s nothing between me and Kiyono Lin, the one I love is you."

No reply.

He thought for a moment, found a love-expressing haiku he had inadvertently seen a long time ago in his memory.

"The sun shines overhead, its form forever unchanging; without the sun in the sky, my love would then cease."

No reply. Had she not seen it? He was thinking this when his phone vibrated.

"How do you want to die?"

Dubian Che’s spirit was lifted—the reply meant the situation was still manageable!

"To grow old and die slowly with you"

Ten seconds later, when Dubian Che began to reflect on whether he was being too frivolous and had an ominous feeling about it, Jiutiao Meijie replied.

"Decided, tonight you’re going to do naked calisthenics for me."

"Oh kind and beautiful Meijie, I was wrong, please forgive me."

"Shut up."

"Yes."

Dubian Che put his phone back into his pocket, opened his notebook, and pulled out a 0.5 mm mechanical pencil to write:

Purchase romance-related books, primarily to win the favor of young ladies; Budget: 100,000 yen; Estimated profit: 10 billion yen.

"There’s no more cost-effective deal than investing in oneself," Dubian Che thought to himself, tapping his notebook with the pencil tip, feeling very satisfied.

The day passed by uneventfully, he attentively went to classes, and in the activity classroom, he focused on learning Spanish. Jiutiao Meijie did not actually make Dubian Che do naked calisthenics.

As for getting back together, Dubian Che didn’t act immediately.

"The Great Gatsby" mentioned at the beginning that you should first don a gold hat and jump high enough so that women who like the gold hat and the jumping would naturally want to own you.

What kind of boys did Jiutiao Meijie like? Dubian Che didn’t have the slightest clue, so he decided to start with the aesthetic preferences of high school girls in general.

Dubian Che contacted a classmate from the same village who was studying in a high school in another city over Line.

"Ayako, are you free?"

"Call me senior!!!"

"What kind of boys do high school girls like these days?"

"Just not someone like you."

"I’m being serious, don’t change the subject."

"What part of ’what kind of boys do high school girls like these days’ sounds serious to you?"

"It’s serious enough for me, just answer the question."

"Dubian, do you have someone you like?"

"No. It’s a modern societal issue, I’m preparing to research the romantic views of high school girls from the Heisei and Showa eras." Dubian Che made this excuse because his big-mouthed friend from the same village, Honma Ayako, might lead to his parents phoning and asking all sorts of questions.

"What kind of weird research question is that?"

"That’s how it is in Tokyo, not like our innocent village."

"People from Tokyo are indeed not good people."

"Okay, just tell me, I need to do homework."

"Gentle, manly, considerate, loyal, kind, smart, multi-talented in sports."

"Is there even such a man? I want one too."

"Ew—disgusting."

"Don’t you think that’s too fake? There’s no requirement for looks."

"Handsome is a given, isn’t it? Do I even need to say it?"

"Impressive."

"You’re the one who asked me what kind of boys high school girls like, these are the things I mentioned, I can’t guarantee it for everyone, but most girls will like them!"

"How many of those fit me?"

"Apart from being handsome and smart, you’re good for nothing."

Dubian Che felt a surge of anger rise to his head.

Wasn’t this what he said to Kiyono Lin? He was not that superficial!

At Shinagawa Aquarium, he even stepped in to save a couple!

He was always kind, always gentle!

While Dubian Che was busy reaffirming his own worth in his mind, Honma Ayako sent another message.

"After the exams this Sunday, I want to go to Tokyo to see Asakusa Temple and Tokyo Tower."

"If you want to go, just go. Who’s going to stop you?"

"Don’t you get what I’m saying? Hehe~~(^з^)"

"That’s all, my phone is out of battery, good night."

"Dubian Che——!!! I’m telling your mom you bullied me!!!" (Unread)

In a rental room in Kanagawa Prefecture, a girl named Ryou in shorts and a short-sleeved shirt, who was sitting at the table, glanced at the word "Unread" and angrily pounded the table.

Textbooks, stationery, and a small mirror on the table, shook violently as if they had encountered an earthquake.
