Lin Yu arrived at the first-floor lobby, wandering around the dining area.
He poured himself a glass of water and sipped it slowly.
Then, he started tidying up small items in the kitchen, deliberately creating “clang-clang” noises.
But he wasn’t in a hurry to find Chi Qingshui.
He wanted to keep his girlfriend curious and intrigued.
If Ying'er followed Lin Yu’s instructions and gave the keys to his girlfriend, at this moment, her mind would definitely be racing, wondering what Lin Yu planned to give her.
The more eager she was to figure out the answer, the less likely Lin Yu was to take the initiative. He preferred to wait for her to come to him.
In the bedroom shared by the twins on the first floor:
The younger sister, Chi Qingchi, had gone off to the supermarket with her pocket money, leaving the room with only Chi Qingshui.
She left the door slightly ajar, attentively listening to the sounds coming from the lobby.
That Lin Yu!
Why wasn’t he coming to retrieve the keys and return to the bedroom? What was he doing in the kitchen?
Ever since listening to Ying'er’s words, Chi Qingshui had been obsessively pondering over it.
What exactly was Lin Yu planning to give her?
The answer was so close, yet she couldn’t get it.
This was driving Chi Qingshui absolutely mad!
After another two minutes of stalemate, Chi Qingshui finally gave in, defeated by her curiosity.
She pretended to casually walk into the lobby and glanced toward the kitchen…
“Whistle~ Whistle~”
Inside the kitchen, Lin Yu was whistling, completely absorbed in the joy of cleaning.
His hearing was extraordinary, wasn’t it?
Yet, he didn’t turn around!
If you wanted a girlfriend who was obedient and took initiative, you had to start with the little things.
Small acts of initiative would accumulate over time, forming a habit.
In the not-too-distant future, this would yield greater rewards.
Chi Qingshui paced around the lobby twice, even deliberately opening and closing the laundry room door to create noise.
However—
Lin Yu in the kitchen remained utterly unmoved.
His hearing was terrible!
She had no choice…
“Ahem!”
“Lin Yu, I was wondering why there was noise coming from the kitchen at this hour.”
“Turns out you’re back?”
“Perfect timing, here’s your key.”
Chi Qingshui, out of options, walked into the kitchen and decided to speak up.
If she didn’t do this, it seemed Lin Yu really wouldn’t notice her.
“Thank you, Chi,” Lin Yu said with a smile.
“I was planning to finish tidying up the kitchen before coming to find you.”
“You all worked so hard this morning, especially you…”
“If there’s nothing going on tomorrow morning, I’ll make some porridge again. I’ll treat you then.”
Lin Yu’s words made Chi Qingshui feel a bit awkward.
She knew Lin Yu’s “especially…” referred to the second day of her monthly cycle, when it wasn’t ideal to exert herself too much.
“There’s no need to be so polite; helping each other out isn’t a big deal.”
“Well, I… I’ll head back now.”
Chi Qingshui glanced around but didn’t see anything special near Lin Yu.
Moreover, Lin Yu didn’t seem to have any intention of bringing up other matters.
Standing awkwardly at the kitchen door wasn’t her style.
Lin Yu suppressed his laughter as he watched his “snail-like” girlfriend slowly retreating.
He knew he had teased her enough; he couldn’t let her leave just like that.
Lin Yu called out, “Chi, wait a moment. I almost forgot…”
Chi Qingshui quickly turned around: “Hmm? What is it?”
Lin Yu reached up to the high shelf in the kitchen and took down two books wrapped in plastic covers.
He walked over to Chi Qingshui and handed the books to her.
Chi Qingshui received them with a look of surprise: “These are…?”
These are the two books she wanted to buy!
Earlier in the taxi, Lin Yu mentioned he wanted to buy them too and even promised to show them to her.
Unexpectedly.
It wasn’t just talk.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations to the host for successfully completing the daily task "Collection of Classics," earning 50 sect contribution points and 50 spirit stones!]
[Congratulations to the host for successfully completing... earning 50 sect contribution points and 50 spirit stones!]
[Ding!]
[Congratulations to the host! Your intimacy level with the Elder of the Library Pavilion has further advanced, upgrading to the eighth realm: "Soul-Bound Reverie"!]
[Reward: 100 spirit stones.]
The eighth realm!
Inside the apartment.
Chi Qingshui became the only roommate whose relationship with him had advanced to the eighth realm.
Even Ying'er, who had reached the threshold of body cultivation, was still stuck at the seventh realm.
The innate soul cultivation setting indeed made data-driven strategies much easier.
[Ding!]
[The Elder of the Library Pavilion's intimacy level with the host has reached the threshold of "Dual Contract Dao"!]
[Complete the "Dual Contract Dao" trial to have the opportunity to become cultivation partners!]
[Now announcing the "Dual Contract Dao" trial...]
[Identity Verification (Trial Task): At the right moment, let your hidden soul cultivation partner voluntarily reveal the long-standing spiritual connection with the host!]
[Warm Reminder: The trial task will create an opportunity to become cultivation partners. If the host takes no action, the opportunity will automatically be lost.]
Lin Yu: "!!!"
Exactly.
Reaching the eighth realm—how high does the intimacy level need to be to achieve a successful outcome?
As it turns out.
The eighth realm is already sufficient.
The system’s prompts are quite precise.
After completing the [Trial Task], it’s still up to him to seize the opportunity.
As for the content of this trial task, setting aside the difficulty level—
Does he really need the system to remind him to seize the opportunity?
Could it be...
Chi Qingshui tells Lin Yu, "I’m your girlfriend."
And Lin Yu responds by chatting with her over peanuts and edamame all night?
If the relationship is already revealed, who would bother with superficial pleasantries?
Does the system think he’s foolish?
The biggest challenge right now is figuring out how to get Chi Qingshui to voluntarily admit the truth.
As long as she says it out loud—
Given their level of conversation, it’s hard to imagine not ending up rolling around on a clean bed.
“You just bought these, didn’t you? Then... you should be the one to read them first.”
Chi Qingshui held the book in her hands, speaking with genuine emotion.
Lin Yu snapped out of his thoughts and replied:
“You’re the leader of our study group. Your expertise determines our grades.”
“Of course, your reading priority is higher. I’ll read them after you’re done.”
Putting it this way—
Chi Qingshui indeed had fewer reasons to refuse.
Moreover—
She subconsciously didn’t reject accepting Lin Yu’s “gift.”
Chi Qingshui clasped her hands behind her back and spoke earnestly:
“You’re so cunning. Turns out you just want me to put more effort into the assignments.”
“Alright, I’ll borrow them for now.”
“If I come across any key points, I’ll mark them for you in the book.”
Lin Yu cupped his hands in a gesture of thanks:
“Thank you, our brilliant study group leader.”
After the gift exchange—
Chi Qingshui still stood there without any sign of leaving.
Lin Yu: “???”
Could there be something else?
This morning, he had checked Chi Qingshui’s information panel.
There wasn't any other urgent or routine task.
Chi Qingshui pondered for a moment before finally speaking:
"Do you have any plans for Friday?"
Lin Yu: "!!!"
Was there really something he needed?
The day after tomorrow is Thursday, the day of the football match and the boxing match.
Friday is the day after that.
Indeed, there wasn't anything urgent to do yet.

he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
