Ai didn't know that Lin Yi had already arranged everything for her so clearly.
She had many questions she wanted to ask Lin Yi right now.
For example…
"I found a long hair in the bedroom."
Ai said casually while watching TV, "A long, black hair… Whether you look at it from the length or the color, it couldn't be that Mǐyuán Yīngzi's hair."
"You have a good eye…"
Lin Yi praised her, then said, "It's indeed not Yingzi's hair…"
"So, does that mean you're cheating?" Ai said calmly.
"I never said that I only have one girlfriend…"
Lin Yi was forthright about his own affairs.
Moreover, he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to; Ai lived in his house, so how could he hide it?
It was better to just lay it all out on the table; that way, he could at least leave a generous impression… maybe.
"Then… you have two?"
Ai guessed.
"Well… let me count… three at school, four outside… a total of seven."
"Seven?"
Ai couldn't maintain her composure anymore; she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Lin Yi, her face full of shock: "How did you do it?"
"How did I do it… I can only say that my personal charm is relatively strong." Lin Yi said, "They all fell in love with me at the same time… I was too embarrassed to refuse their love."
"No, what I want to ask is… how did you manage to date seven girls at the same time?" Ai re-emphasized the focus of her concern.
"Because… of love."
Lin Yi was too embarrassed to say that he had coaxed and deceived them, and finally filled their bodies and minds with love.
"Love?" Ai frowned; she really couldn't understand such an abstract thing.
"Yes… it's love."
Lin Yi said seriously, "Do you know what love is, Ai?"
Ai shook her head.
"Love is… tolerance."
Lin Yi said deeply, "I tolerate them… and they tolerate me."
"What do you mean?" Ai was even more confused.
"People live in this world, and there are many things to do, such as work, study, travel, etc. Being in a relationship is just one part of it."
Lin Yi said, "They focus on their own careers while dating me… This is the new era's view of love for women, you know?"
"So, what you're saying is… you can have many girlfriends, but they can only have you as one boyfriend, right?" Ai grasped the key point.
"…"
As expected, it's not easy to fool a female PhD…
I still prefer those simple girls…
"Sigh."
Lin Yi shook his head and sighed, "Ai, you're still young, you don't understand. When you grow up, you'll understand what love is."
"When you completely fall in love with someone, whether he is poor or rich, whether he is healthy or disabled, whether he is loyal or promiscuous… you won't be able to control yourself from liking him."
Lin Yi pointed to himself: "I'm the one who is loved… understand?"
"According to modern people's definition of your behavior, there are two words that describe it very well." Ai raised two fingers and said slowly: "Scumbag."
"Hey, dating is a matter of mutual consent, how can you say it's being a scumbag?"
Lin Yi shook his head, denying Ai's statement.
It's okay for him to call himself a scumbag, but it's different when others say it.
"I am destined to be in love with countless women. In order to be able to distribute my love equally, I can only choose not to marry in my lifetime… See how miserable I am."
Ai understood; he was admitting that he was a scumbag in a roundabout way.
But being a scumbag like him is, in a sense, also very remarkable… dating seven girlfriends in one go.
"Your girlfriends can tolerate you like this… they are also very remarkable." She not only admired Lin Yi, but also admired his girlfriends.
She really couldn't imagine what kind of mentality they had to share their boyfriend with other women.
"If my boyfriend is like you in the future… no, not like you, as long as he hides it from me and flirts with other girls, I will make him die a terrible death."
Ai said dangerous words lightly: "I can't accept others doing those things behind my back."
"Well, I hope you can keep your original intention and not regret it."
Lin Yi nodded and said; that was what Xiaolan and Yuanzi thought at the beginning.
"Ai… I feel like you've changed a lot."
Lin Yi deliberately brought up the issue of shifting the blame to her, secretly reminding her: You are just a child now, don't speak like an adult in the tone of a child!
"I've always been like this."
Ai had already thought about how to respond to his words; she had no interest in continuing to act like a little kid.
She said: "Acting cute at the beginning was simply to leave you with a good impression… Now that we are so familiar, there's no point in continuing to pretend, and I'm tired of pretending."
"I'll be honest with you… I ran away from home when I was five years old and wandered outside for four years before being taken in by my sister. In those four years, in order to survive, I slept in parks, rummaged through garbage, was a thief, and was a con artist."
This persona was carefully crafted by Ai; only by experiencing enough hardships can she better explain her maturity and stability, and why she is different from other children.
Moreover, after hearing Lin Yi say that he was dating seven girlfriends at the same time, Ai realized her own safety issues.
Heaven knows if this guy will suddenly become a beast one day and not even spare a little girl like herself?
To protect herself, Ai temporarily added a DLC to herself, saying, "I've been violated before, so I have a very strong vigilance towards men... So, when I'm sleeping, don't touch me."
After a pause, Ai continued, "I know you have the habit of sleeping naked... I advise you to change this habit. Otherwise, if you accidentally touch me while sleeping at night... I'm worried I won't be able to control myself and cut off your baby... That wouldn't be good, it would affect the friendship between us."
"… … …"
Lin Yi was dumbfounded after hearing this.
Not only was the story vividly portrayed, but the other party even went so far as to protect herself by self-defamation.
If he didn't know Ai inside and out, he would have almost believed it.
Doctor of Philosophy, awesome, awesome, can't afford to provoke, can't afford to provoke.
Goodbye.
