Only I Have the Law: A Fantasy Daily Life

Chapter 26 If you bloom, the butterflies will come.

This is not speculation.

It's not some kind of delusional belief like "she likes me," "someone is knocking on the door," "I can fight back," "the gas was on," or "something's wrong with my hair."

Rather, it was unwavering.

He was certain that the girl was after him.

After all, while his current sensory abilities may not reach the level of sophisticated instruments, they are definitely at the top level for humans.

Even without seeing the fine pores and oil on his body, it was clear that the girl's gaze was focused on him.

The girl was wearing a light yellow dress.

Her skirt just passed her knees, revealing clean and neat lines to her calves. She held an unfinished cream puff in her hand, her fingertips stained with a bit of white cream.

She paused when she walked up to Chen Baiyu, as if she had mustered up her courage. Her cheeks flushed a light pink that matched the color of her dress, and her voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz: "Um... hello."

Chen Baiyu looked up.

My keen senses allowed me to clearly see her appearance.

Her eyebrows and eyes were curved, with the corners of her eyes naturally upturned, like a startled fawn.

As she spoke, her fingertips unconsciously twisted the hem of her skirt, her gaze fixed on his chest, avoiding his eyes.

"Hello, what's the matter?"

His voice was a little softer than usual.

The girl paused for half a second, just about to say something.

But then she noticed her fingers were covered in cream, and hurriedly hid them behind her back. She stammered, "I...I saw you standing here just now, and I...I thought you had a really special aura. Could...can I add you on WeChat?"

The voice grew softer and softer.

The last few words sounded as if they were being spoken from the mouth.

Chen Baiyu's heart stirred slightly.

He used to have girls asking him to hang out when he was quite handsome in junior high school, but after he went astray in high school, no girls ever approached him again.

But after obtaining the system.

The situation seems to have changed somewhat.

He himself didn't feel anything "special," but it seemed that his enhanced body had an indescribable aura.

This kind of aura is probably impossible to hide; even he himself didn't realize it, but it had already been noticed by others.

It's not a deliberate display, but a kind of inner confidence, like a tree deeply rooted in the soil, whose foundation cannot be shaken no matter how strong the wind is.

Chen Baiyu understood.

This is because he possesses the most powerful and confident thing in the world, something that gives him even more confidence than a net worth of billions.

Therefore, it is inevitable that there will be some changes in temperament.

Humans are genetically inclined to strive for better things, and a person with confidence and self-assurance naturally becomes the kind of person who attracts attention.

If you bloom, the butterflies will come.

This is a universal truth, an instinctive yearning for something better.

For all living beings, becoming stronger means becoming better.

Chen Baiyu thought.

When I reach a higher level in the future, and my life essence becomes more profound, I will probably become even more elegant.

You might even need to worry about the possibility of becoming a walking succubus in the future, causing inconvenience to your life.

Even if it hasn't reached that level.

At that time, you might be able to easily become a big internet celebrity and gain a lot of so-called "face fans" just by striking a pose and posting it on Douyin.

after all.

His temperament and appearance are his defining features.

However, his ambitions certainly lie elsewhere. He is not short of money and is unwilling to show his face in public and painstakingly cultivate himself into a so-called internet celebrity for the sake of money.

He prefers to focus on his research alone.

Of course, unless the system has a task.

That's a different story. People are always good at weighing the pros and cons.

Just as the Yellow River has killed too many people with its floods over thousands of years, people can still call out "Mom" to survive, calling it the great Mother River!
Just like when a piece of equipment doesn't suit your aesthetic, but other equipment offers several times the stat boosts, you can instantly become a power-hungry player, claiming that there's a kind of beauty in strength.

The system's tasks offer more irresistible benefits, making it seem reasonable to compromise and agree to anything in exchange.

Now that Chen Baiyu has been enhanced, even if he spends a long time indulging in random thoughts, he still won't waste much time in reality.

The next second after the girl finished speaking.

After letting his mind wander, Chen Baiyu was about to refuse.

But then, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed three girls of similar age peeking out from behind the girl.

One of them even gave her a "cheering" gesture, clearly to encourage her.

That was clearly the girl's companion.

If I directly refuse, this girl will probably be embarrassed in front of her friends.

"can."

Chen Baiyu took out her phone and opened the WeChat QR code.

The girl visibly breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes instantly lighting up as she hurriedly pulled out her phone to scan the QR code.

My fingers trembled slightly from nervousness, and it took two tries to scan successfully.

"My name is Linxi, Lin as in two trees and Xi as in stream."

She quickly gave him her name, as if afraid he might change his mind at any moment.

"Chen Baiyu".

He responded simply and accepted the friend request.

"Then, then I won't bother you anymore!"

After Lin Xi finished speaking, she almost ran back to her companions as if fleeing. Surrounded and teased by several girls, she secretly glanced back at Chen Baiyu.

Although she didn't blush when she met his gaze, she quickly turned away again.

Chen Baiyu looked at the new profile picture on her phone, which was a cartoon rabbit holding a cream puff, echoing the dessert in her hand.

He put away his phone and watched them walk away quietly.

I felt nothing.

There was neither the secret delight of being approached nor the impatience of being dealt with perfunctorily.

My aunt and mom just happened to come out of the store. My mom has sharp eyes and saw the whole scene.

At that moment, she smiled and nudged his arm: "You're quite popular, aren't you?"

"That girl probably mistook me for someone else."

Chen Baiyu chuckled casually and didn't say anything more.

He looked up at Lin Xi and her companions. They had reached the street corner and were pointing and laughing in this direction, their voices carried on the evening breeze.

This is a little episode in youth.

Like a pebble thrown into a lake, it creates ripples that quickly subside.

His attention had already drifted back to the system panel.

"Let's go eat hot pot with mutton."

The aunt urged from the side.

Chen Baiyu responded and followed them forward.

The evening breeze lifted the hem of his clothes, carrying the aroma of candied hawthorns and a hint of the sweetness of cream puffs.

He didn't think much about it.

Instead, he followed his mother and aunt at a leisurely pace, carefully examining the specific data changes on his personal panel.

As for that girl named Lin Xi, she will probably just remain in my WeChat contact list, gradually being buried by new messages like many casual acquaintances.

After all, there are more important things waiting to be explored in his world now.
