"Brother Lin Yu!"
Lin Yu, who had been searching for a lamb restaurant, stopped in his tracks upon hearing the sweet voice calling out to him. A question mark popped up in his mind.
?
Who was that?
Who would call him in such a clingy way?
Curious, he turned around and saw a familiar-looking girl waving her arm enthusiastically, her face lit up with joy as she jogged toward him.
Wasn’t that the girl who looked a bit like Tang Manman?
Lin Yu quickly recognized her, but a new wave of questions flooded his mind.
Who was she?
Did he even know her?
How did she know his name?
Before Lin Yu could figure it out, the girl had already reached him.
She seemed to be in poor health—just a short sprint left her panting heavily, her pale pink lips exhaling quick, warm breaths.
The warm air turned into mist in the cold, only to be scattered by the wind.
After catching her breath, she lifted her flushed face and flashed an adorably earnest smile, sweetly calling out again:
"Brother Lin Yu!"
"Uh..."
The affectionate nickname made Lin Yu scrutinize her a little longer.
After confirming that their only interaction had been a brief passing encounter after school that one night, he asked curiously:
"Do you know me?"
The girl nodded eagerly, her eyes sparkling with admiration as she replied excitedly:
"Of course I know you!"
"You're Brother Lin Yu!"
"My sister told me all about you!"
"She said you're the nicest person in the whole~~~ world."
"And the most handsome too!"
She added with a giggle.
Lin Yu listened to her praise and nodded calmly, his expression unchanged.
After all, he wasn’t the type to get all giddy just because a pretty girl complimented him.
What?
You noticed the corner of his lips twitching?
Oh.
He was just born with naturally smiling lips.
Adjusting his jaw to hide the smirk, Lin Yu asked the question he already had an inkling about:
"Who’s your sister?"
"My sister is Tang Manman!"
Then, with a charming smile, she introduced herself:
"I’m Tang Qinqin."
Just as he thought.
Lin Yu nodded, unsurprised.
With that resemblance, no one would believe she wasn’t related to Tang Manman!
Now that he knew who she was, Lin Yu asked bluntly:
"Did you need something from me?"
A hint of shyness flickered across Tang Qinqin’s face. She clasped her hands behind her back, lowered her gaze to her toes, and answered in a soft, hesitant voice:
"Well... not really anything important."
"I just heard my sister talk about you so much, and I was curious about what kind of person Brother Lin Yu is~"
"Now that I’ve met you, I see she was totally right about—"
"Oh."
"If there’s nothing important, I’ll be going then."
Before she could finish, Lin Yu turned and walked away.
Tang Manman’s sister?
Lin Yu muttered to himself.
Better leave now.
He didn’t want to get tangled up with her and risk another mess with Tang Manman—he’d only just managed to shake her off.
Lin Yu strode away briskly.
Tang Qinqin stood frozen, staring blankly at his retreating figure, completely baffled by how quickly he’d left.
?
Hadn’t he been staring at her just moments ago?
Why was he running off so decisively now?
Tang Qinqin didn’t understand, but soon, a thought struck her.
Could it be...
That Lin Yu was playing hard to get, just like he did with her sister?
Tang Qinqin gritted her teeth—it seemed all too possible!
Seeing Lin Yu about to disappear, she didn’t have time to overthink it. She hurried after him, grabbing his arm with a playful grin:
"Actually, there is a tiny little thing!"
"What is it?"
Lin Yu stopped and turned to look at her.
"Well..."
"Um..."
"I... I want Brother Lin Yu’s contact info..."
Tang Qinqin scratched her slightly flushed cheek with a finger. Even though she had zero actual interest in him, asking for someone’s number for the first time still made her stumble over her words.
Lin Yu instantly grew wary.
"Why do you want my contact info?"
"Uh..."
Tang Qinqin was speechless. She hadn’t expected him to ask that.
Shouldn’t a guy like him be grinning ear-to-ear when a girl asked for his number?
And then, while exchanging contacts, he’d sneakily hold her hand and flash a sleazy smirk—wasn’t that how he was supposed to act?
Why was he acting so guarded?
Was he the teenage girl here?
After a brief hesitation, Tang Qinqin forced another sweet smile and cooed:
"Because Brother Lin Yu is such a good person~"
"I just want to be friends with a nice guy like you."
"Hard pass."
Lin Yu rejected her without hesitation.
"I’m not a good person."
"If there’s nothing else, I’m leaving."
"Go find someone else to befriend."
With that, he shook off her grip and walked away.
He had no interest in getting involved with this random girl.
Not just because she was Tang Manman’s sister, but because there was something off about her.
Who acted this friendly the second time they met someone?
Especially when their first "meeting" was just a passing glance between strangers.
Now she was suddenly this forward?
Definitely suspicious!
There had to be an ulterior motive!
The more Lin Yu thought about it, the weirder it seemed, and the more determined he became to stay away.
His swift departure left Tang Qinqin stunned.
She’d never imagined getting someone’s contact info would be this difficult!
Was she ugly?
Or did he just not like younger girls?
Seeing Lin Yu wasn’t budging, Tang Qinqin had no choice but to use her sister as an excuse.
She caught up to him again, blocking his path with a forced grin:
"Actually, it’s my sister who wants your number!"
"She was too shy to ask, so she sent me to—"
Mid-sentence, her smile froze as Lin Yu immediately spun around and bolted in the opposite direction.
Tang Qinqin was left questioning reality.
Was he seriously avoiding her like this?
What kind of role reversal was this?!
Was she the persistent creep, and he the innocent maiden?!
