In the following days, Lin Yi always tried hard to carry out the three-person activities.
However, because he had been too crazy for a while, Lin Yi fed Sonoko and Ran too much, so they temporarily lost their strong desire to eat meat, which also led to the three-person plan being unable to start for a long time.
Lin Yi estimated that Ran's favorability wasn't high enough yet, and he would have to go through some more events.
Moreover, Japanese high school students actually don't have much free time.
Classes start in the morning and don't end until 3:30 in the afternoon.
In addition, Ran and Sonoko both have club activities. They are the backbone of the karate club and the tennis club, respectively, which forces them to put more energy into club activities.
Often, club activities don't end until after six o'clock.
After a busy day, they are exhausted and just want to lie down and not move when they get home. Ran also has to prepare dinner, so where does she have so much energy to go out and play?
Only when they occasionally don't have club activities will they be together with Lin Yi.
So, Lin Yi often eats with them, drinks tea, watches movies, chats, goes shopping, holds hands, drinks a little wine, and rents a room.
It's just that, maybe because Conan isn't around, Lin Yi hasn't touched any events that can increase favorability.
Putting these aside, something suddenly happened to Lin Yi.
A very interesting thing.
Before the relationship between the three of them was revealed, both Sonoko and Ran wanted to be with Lin Yi all day long.
However, after this layer of relationship was exposed, they began to consciously share the responsibilities of being "girlfriends."
This resulted in them actually having more free time. However, Yuanzi and Xiaolan chose to spend this extra time together, without bringing Lin Yi.
After all, after removing the element of sex, most women would choose to hang out with other women.
Men like to hang out with men. They can go to the gym, climb mountains, or go surfing and skiing together. If they don't want to go out, they can stay home and play games.
Women also like to hang out with women because they can gather together to go shopping, have afternoon tea, or talk about gossip and discover delicious food.
Lin Yi can understand this... After all, he can also tolerate shopping once or twice.
But if it happens too often, he can't stand it anymore.
After all, accompanying girlfriends shopping is an extremely painful thing for men all over the world.
Honestly, this outcome is very good for Lin Yi because no one is clinging to him, and he can have plenty of time to pursue other girls.
However, as good as it is, Lin Yi, as the person involved, feels very puzzled.
Don't you have any sense of competition between you?
Aren't you worried that I might favor one of you?
Think about the ancient Heavenly Dynasty, where the emperor had three thousand concubines. In order to gain the emperor's favor, who wasn't fighting tooth and nail, causing a bloody storm in the harem? What *Mi Yue Zhuan*, *Zhen Huan Zhuan*, *Gong Suo Zhulian*...
Lin Yi feels that they are not fighting now entirely because the scale and number of his harem are not large enough.
If the number is not enough, there is no competitiveness.
Without enough competitiveness, the two of them are not worried that they will be snatched away!
Therefore, they are fearless!
It turns out that the system has been reminding him that only by being a scumbag can you continuously obtain happiness and satisfaction!
But he just couldn't understand it, insisting on hanging himself on two trees, giving up the entire forest!
It's no wonder, who asked him to never be a scumbag in his previous life?
People, after all, will make some mistakes before they grow.
Finally, after wasting some time, Lin Yi finally realized a truth—
Men who aren't scumbags won't be loved by women!
Or rather, only scumbags can attract women's attention!
So, on Sunday, he told Xiaolan and Yuanzi that he had something to do and told them to go out and have fun, then he went to the Mihua Hotel!
What to do at the Mihua Hotel?
Of course, it was to properly educate Mikawa's adoptive mother.
As someone's adoptive mother, she actually wanted to murder her adopted son?
This attitude is very bad, and this thinking is very dangerous!
As a successor to socialism, how could Lin Yi ignore such a thing?
So, Lin Yi spent a whole morning and afternoon educating her in twelve different ways.
At first, Mikawa's adoptive mother was quite stubborn, only talking about it, but she didn't really mean to admit her mistake.
However, the further it went, the more she could appreciate Lin Yi's cruel methods, making her scream.
Finally, she realized her mistake and shouldn't have done such a rebellious thing as killing her adopted son for money.
Seeing her sincerely admit her mistake, Lin Yi was willing to let her go.
However, perhaps she felt that Lin Yi was a life mentor. When Lin Yi put on his clothes, she blushed and couldn't help but ask, "Lin-jun, will we... meet again?"
"Huh? You still want to meet me again?" Lin Yi's mouth curled into a faint smile.
Mikawa's adoptive mother blushed and nodded.
"Sorry, no."
Lin Yi refused decisively.
"This... is that so." Mikawa's adoptive mother nodded with a disappointed expression: "Do you think I'm too promiscuous?"
"It has nothing to do with that."
"Then... why?"
Why?
He can't say that you have a son, right?
Lin Yi has no hobby of raising other people's sons.
Of course, if there is a daughter, that's another matter.
Lin Yi is willing to help raise other people's daughters, raise them into adults, and then experience being a ghost... cough cough cough, experience the fun of raising them.
As for sons, let's talk about it later.
Lin Yi has no interest at all.
Picking up his coat, Lin Yi took out a few stacks of banknotes from his pocket and placed them on the table.
He didn't plan to talk about feelings. Since he wasn't talking about feelings, the best way was to solve the problem with money.
"Don't have murderous thoughts because of money anymore, that's not good... Use this money to start a new life."
Mikawa's adoptive mother stared blankly at Lin Yi's back as he put on his coat, then covered her face with the quilt and cried!
She originally thought that the other party was taking advantage of her misfortune, but she didn't expect that the other party was using this method to help her!
"Thank you... So, you are really a good person!"
Being described by the word "good person."
This made Lin Yi feel like he was acting like a whore while erecting a memorial arch. He left the room with some guilt.
