Compensation

Faced with the sudden approach of the long-legged beauty, Lin Yu was a bit dazed.

At this moment, the emotion welling up in his heart wasn't the joy of being hit on by a beautiful woman, nor the smugness of feeling the envious gazes of other men.

The very first emotion that surged in Lin Yu's heart was fear.

What the heck!

Don't give me this endless nonsense!

Lin Yu panicked so much that he was about to break out in a cold sweat.

Lin Yu couldn't be clearer about his own looks.

Overall, it was a seventy-thirty split between a thuggish bad-boy vibe and actual handsomeness.

He wasn't ugly, and could even be called somewhat handsome.

But only somewhat handsome, nothing more.

Moreover, because of that dominant thuggish vibe...

Aside from certain delinquent girls...

This face basically had a hard time attracting any proper girls; it might even make them feel uneasy!

Therefore, Lin Yu knew very well that his face could absolutely never attract a beauty whose looks, figure, and aura all hovered around an A-grade.

Not to mention, he currently had two women acting intimately and affectionately right by his side.

For this woman to still come up and hit on him under these circumstances...

It really made it hard not to overthink things!

Lin Yu's first reaction was to blame that damn destiny.

But after briefly examining the long-legged beauty in front of him, Lin Yu realized he didn't feel even a shred of familiarity toward her.

From this, he could basically conclude she wasn't a character from some erotic manga plotline.

Then what was the purpose behind her sudden, inexplicable approach?

Could she be another idiot like Xu Mingyao?

Just as Lin Yu was pondering the reason behind the long-legged beauty's illogical approach...

The two women flanking his left and right nearly exploded.

What?

What's the meaning of this?

Again?

And right in front of us?

Do you really think we don't exist?!

Especially when they saw Lin Yu staring blankly at the long-legged beauty, looking so focused he seemed entranced, the two of them were so angry their hair practically stood on end.

At this point, even someone as gentle as Xia Muzhu couldn't stand it anymore.

She reached out, gave Lin Yu's shoulder a somewhat forceful shove, and glared at him.

Tang Manman on the other side went even further.

She reached straight for the inner side of Lin Yu's thigh, pinched a small piece of flesh without a word, and twisted it viciously.

"Ah!"

Lin Yu let out a miserable shriek, hastily rubbing his upper thigh while drawing in sharp breaths of pain.

Seeing the angry expressions on Tang Manman and Xia Muzhu's faces, Lin Yu finally snapped back to reality. He immediately snapped at the long-legged beauty in a grumpy tone:

"Get to know each other? Know what exactly?"

"Can't you see this guy is already taken?"

"Go stand somewhere else!"

"Don't be an eyesore here!"

Scolded, the long-legged beauty looked embarrassed, turned around, and left resentfully.

Having shooed away this baffling woman, Lin Yu hurriedly tried to coax his two angry ladies.

Lin Yu turned his head to look at Tang Manman and explained:

"I don't know that person at all."

"Hmph!"

Tang Manman snorted coldly, turned her face away, and puffed up her cheeks, refusing to look at Lin Yu.

Having the door slammed in his face by Tang Manman, Lin Yu turned to Xia Muzhu and explained:

"She... she was just being completely inexplicable."

Xia Muzhu shot Lin Yu a dirty look, let out an angry little sneer, and turned her head away, ignoring him.

Seeing that Xia Muzhu wouldn't listen to his explanation either, Lin Yu started to get a real headache.

Feeling helpless, Lin Yu cried out his grievances, sounding rather wronged:

"What are you guys doing?"

"She's the one who came over to hit on me out of nowhere."

"It's not like I did anything."

"Is it a crime for me to be handsome?"

Lin Yu's shameless words amused the two of them so much they almost broke character and laughed out loud.

However, they both secretly bit their lips and kept their emotions in check.

"Hmph!"

Tang Manman snorted coldly and launched the first attack:

"You didn't do anything?"

"If we hadn't stopped you, your eyes would have been glued to her body!"

"Exactly."

Xia Muzhu, sitting on Lin Yu's right, chimed in with a sarcastic tone:

"You were staring so hard you zoned out, and you call that doing nothing?"

"If you actually did something..."

"...would the baby be born by now?"

The two of them echoed each other, leaving Lin Yu completely defenseless.

But Lin Yu's silence made them think they had hit the nail on the head, making them even angrier.

This time, Tang Manman still led the charge.

She turned around, glared at Lin Yu furiously, and said angrily:

"Lin Yu, don't think that just because we don't say anything, it means you can go chasing skirts without restraint!"

"Aside from those of us who are already settled with you..."

"If you dare to mess around with any other women!"

"I'll make you pay!"

Beside her, Xia Muzhu's anger had not subsided either, and she nodded heavily in agreement:

"That's right!"

Faced with their anger, Lin Yu blinked, sharply catching the hidden meaning behind their words.

Were they finally willing to accept each other?

After figuring this out, Lin Yu was so happy he could hardly close his mouth. However, he didn't let the joy go to his head; instead, he first offered an explanation to pacify their anger:

"Oh, come on."

"You've both misunderstood."

"What chasing skirts, what staring in a trance."

"She just looked a lot like a college classmate of mine."

"Seeing how much she resembled her, my brain just short-circuited for a second, and I didn't react in time."

"How was I staring in a trance?"

Lin Yu's explanation wasn't exactly brilliant, but it was plausible.

Tang Manman and Xia Muzhu's anger subsided slightly, and Lin Yu struck while the iron was hot, continuing:

"Besides."

"What kind of ugly duckling was that woman anyway?"

"She couldn't even compare to a single finger of yours."

"Do I have a fetish for ugly women?"

"Why would I fall for her?"

By stepping on one to praise the other two, Lin Yu successfully convinced them and coaxed them back into beaming smiles.

Lin Yu hadn't kept his voice down. In the distance, the long-legged beauty who was just preparing to go back on stage to sing stumbled and almost performed a face-plant right in front of everyone.

Lin Yu took this opportunity to shoot her a sidelong glance, the smile on his face fading significantly in an instant.

No.

I need to take this opportunity to investigate this woman.

Lin Yu knew very well that his looks alone weren't enough to make such a gorgeous beauty approach him on her own.

Therefore, Lin Yu was certain she had an ulterior motive for getting close.

Since she wasn't some erotic manga heroine, her reason for approaching was definitely worth pondering.

Ever since getting viciously bitten by that bastard Xu Mingyao...

Lin Yu was now in a state of once bitten, twice shy.

Lin Yu would no longer brush off any suspicious details as carelessly as he had in the past.

He had to have someone thoroughly investigate what her bizarre approach was all about!

And whether someone was pulling the strings from behind!

But that was a matter for later.

Looking at the two beauties on his left and right whom he had just successfully coaxed, the corners of Lin Yu's mouth curled up slightly. Then, his whole face drooped, practically writing unhappy across his forehead.

"Hey!"

"You two."

"Slandering me out of nowhere like that."

"And even hitting me!"

"Shouldn't you compensate me a little?"
