Look at Me, Sister

Ignoring the surprised low “ah” sounds around him, which had become strangely distorted, and the heartbreaking noises of emotional breakdowns.

Lin Yu raised a hand, signaling the third female lead to hold her tongue for a moment.

“Wait.”

“Wait.”

Glancing at the golden bank card delicately held between the slender fingers of the third female lead, Lin Yu then looked up at her calm, composed face.

He stroked his chin, pondering for a moment before cautiously probing:

“Let me guess.”

“You want to use the excuse of ‘keeping me’ to claim you have some unique interest, asking me to cooperate with you, so that you can legally abuse and beat me, all to get revenge on me.”

“Is that it?”

As Lin Yu spoke, his black eyes locked tightly onto hers, determined to catch every flicker of emotion in her gaze, leaving her no room to lie.

The woman’s clear eyes flickered faintly, almost dazed. After a few seconds of silence, she whispered:

“No.”

“Then you’re really crazy!”

“Get lost.”

“My mom told me not to hang out with idiots.”

Lin Yu spat out the insults without hesitation, then turned and walked away.

Damn it!

What kind of lunatic is this?

Lin Yu was utterly frustrated, unable to understand how things had spiraled into this mess.

Just a few days ago, he had been rough with her—slapping and grabbing her—and she had fought back fiercely with an electric baton.

So how did it suddenly turn into this?

Not only did she not hate him, she even came knocking at his door, saying she wanted to keep him.

Isn’t this pure madness?

Come to think of it, is there something wrong with this world?

Why do all the female leads he meets end up throwing themselves at him?

The first two female leads, Tang Manman and Xia Muzhu, throwing themselves at him was understandable.

After all, he had helped them immensely, even changed their tragic fates.

But this third female lead, whom he had barely met a few times—what reason does she have to throw herself at him?

Did he save her life or help her deal with bullying?

He slapped her once, and now she wants to throw herself at him?

Born a shameless pest, huh?

Lin Yu grumbled endlessly in his heart, quickening his pace, afraid that this lunatic might lose it again and chase after him.

But what you fear is what comes to pass. Hearing the footsteps behind him growing louder and closer, Lin Yu instinctively tensed up.

When faced with the choice between confrontation and escape, he thought briefly and chose the latter.

No other way.

Judging by the luxury car the third female lead was driving, her family background was clearly beyond the reach of a small-time hustler like himself...

If I can’t afford to provoke her, can’t I at least avoid her?

Better run!

Just as Lin Yu was nervously preparing to bolt, a sweet, slightly urgent voice called out.

“Brother Long!”

Hearing that voice, Lin Yu, who had already taken half a step forward, suddenly froze.

He turned his head to look back and saw not the third female lead, but Gu Yue, jogging over holding a skewer of grilled sausages.

Refocusing his gaze, Lin Yu looked behind Gu Yue and realized the third female lead hadn’t even gotten out of the car.

Through the left side rearview mirror of the sports car, she could still be seen sitting steadily in the driver's seat.

Coincidentally, she was also watching herself through the car’s rearview mirror.

Their eyes met, and Lin Yu quickly turned her head away.

She really didn’t want to look at this lunatic one more time.

“Here!”

“For you, Brother Long.”

Gu Yue stretched out her left hand and handed a grilled sausage to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu glanced nervously toward the sports car again. Seeing that the woman still had no intention of getting out, she reluctantly reached out and took the sausage.

Lin Yu’s repeated glances caught Gu Yue’s attention. She turned to look in the same direction, and upon spotting the sports car, she couldn’t help but exclaim:

“The lady in the sports car is really beautiful.”

“Even more beautiful than the movie stars!”

“Of course, intelligence comes at a price.”

“You win some, you lose some.”

Lin Yu took a bite of the steaming sausage and said while chewing.

“Huh?”

“Are you saying this lady is dumb?”

Gu Yue was surprised, her mouth half open, looking shocked.

“I don’t know if she’s dumb.”

“But she’s definitely not mentally normal.”

Lin Yu took another bite, complaining.

“Not mentally normal?”

“Brother Long, how do you know that?”

“Oh, right!”

“Brother Long, what exactly did you say to that beautiful lady by the car earlier?”

“I saw everyone around you looking super shocked.”

“What happened?”

Gu Yue blinked her big eyes, looking like a curious little kitten.

“Adults’ business, kids shouldn’t pry!”

Lin Yu refused without hesitation.

“Come on~~”

“Tell me~”

“Tell me~”

“I even bought you a sausage.”

“Just tell me~”

Gu Yue started whining and acting cute.

Lin Yu wasn’t going to say anything at first, but after thinking it over, she realized there was no way to keep it from her.

With Gu Yue’s connections, she probably wouldn’t even need to go to school tomorrow to dig for information—just a quick phone call and she’d know the whole story.

Thinking this, Lin Yu stopped hiding and told her the truth:

“It’s nothing big.”

“She just wants to keep me as her sugar baby, offering three hundred thousand yuan for half a year.”

“I think she’s crazy, so I cursed her a couple of times and left.”

“That’s all.”

Lin Yu shrugged, speaking casually.

A moment ago, Gu Yue was all excited and eager to hear the gossip, but as soon as Lin Yu finished, her little face instantly darkened. She pouted, let out a dissatisfied hum, and muttered softly:

“Hmph!”

“If you don’t want to say it, then don’t.”

“Why lie?”

“Talking about sugar babies...”

“Even a three-year-old would laugh at that!”

Muttering softly, Gu Yue seemed to find Lin Yu’s words hilarious. She lowered her head and quietly chuckled.

Lin Yu looked at the giggling Gu Yue in disbelief, wishing she could give her a good whack on the head.

Said it or not, you want to hear it.

Said it, and you don’t believe me, but laugh at me instead.

What kind of person are you!

So hard to please!

...

Wuwu~

Sister, look at me!

That stinky guy wouldn’t, but I would!!!

Among the crowd stood a young girl, her face full of eager anticipation. Her expression was like that of a little puppy craving attention.

Unfortunately, the cold and stunning beauty inside the supercar, clearly the owner, didn’t spare her a single glance. She kept her eyes fixed on the rearview mirror for a while, then pressed the accelerator and drove away from the school gate.

After the cold beauty left,

the girl sighed in disappointment, feeling that fate was unfair. The smooth road ahead suddenly seemed full of obstacles again.

Once the sports car had gone, the crowd gathered at the school gate began to disperse.

The girl planned to leave with her friends as well.

She took a few steps forward, only to suddenly realize that her friends hadn’t followed.

Curious, she turned her head to look and saw her friend standing there, stunned. Her eyes were red-rimmed, her expression a mix of shock and daze, so much so that she didn’t even notice the empty lunchbox slipping from her hands and falling to the ground.

“Manman, are you okay?”

Her eyes glistened with moisture, her expression frozen in shock, and she hadn’t even realized the empty lunchbox had slipped from her hands onto the ground.

Curious, she turned again to look and saw her friend standing motionless, her eyes slightly reddened, her face so stunned it was as if she’d been frozen in place by a spell, completely unaware that the empty lunchbox had fallen to the ground.
