Lin Yu wasn't in a hurry to go back to his room.
Instead, he sat in the first-floor restaurant with the door half-closed.
He flipped through his phone, finding and looking through the WeChat profiles of the classmates that Chi Qingshui had just mentioned.
He couldn't just show up on the day and not even be able to call out his classmates' names when he saw them.
It couldn't be wrong to refresh his long - forgotten memories in advance.
While he was doing this review.
The door to the hall opened, and someone came back...
Lin Yu turned his head to look.
He saw Ye Mengfu, looking flustered, hurrying across the hall with her hood up.
In her hands, she was holding a medium - sized cardboard box.
Right after that.
There came the hasty sound of footsteps going upstairs.
Lin Yu: "???"
Did she go steal landmines?
Why is she acting so furtively and mysteriously?
According to the system's prompt.
Didn't Mengmeng buy a gift for him?
Could it be that what's in the cardboard box is the gift she's going to give him?
Even if Ye Mengfu didn't offer to give him a gift, Lin Yu would go to her.
The skills he copied by using two Ghost Hand Talismans couldn't be left unused for too long.
The test for the soul cultivator to form a path was urgent!
Lin Yu got up from his seat and slowly walked upstairs.
He arrived at Ye Mengfu's room on the second floor.
After making sure there was no one in the corridor, Lin Yu gently knocked on Ye Mengfu's door.
"Wh...who is it?"
A weak voice came from inside the room.
"Xiaofu, it's me, Lin Yu."
"I just saw you come back in a hurry. Are you okay? Did you run into any trouble?"
...
Inside the room.
Ye Mengfu: "!!!"
She had just come back from outside, and Lin Yu showed up so quickly!
So quickly that Ye Mengfu wasn't prepared at all.
"No, no!"
Ye Mengfu quickly denied the possibility of running into trouble through the door.
This wasn't a lie. She really didn't have any trouble, only... nervousness and unease!
"Good. Can I borrow the drawing board in your room? I haven't painted for a long time. I suddenly want to draw something, and there are no art supplies in my room."
Ye Mengfu caught her breath: "!!!"
Ye Mengfu didn't even think about the reason of borrowing a drawing board to paint.
The only thought that popped into her mind was...
Lin Yu was going to come in!
Could she refuse?
Ye Mengfu wasn't a girl with a lot of scheming.
In her mind...
If someone had a legitimate reason to come in.
And they weren't strangers.
There was no reason to stop him.
But now, Ye Mengfu hadn't sorted out what to say about the gift.
People with social anxiety need to be fully prepared before giving a gift.
There's no such thing as improvisation.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
"Xiaofu? Are you okay? Why aren't you opening the door?"
Lin Yu's urging voice came again, making Ye Mengfu even more flustered.
She looked at the box on the table and immediately picked it up:
"Com...coming!"
Hide it!
Before she was ready to give it out, she couldn't let Lin Yu see it for the time being.
The room was so small. Where could she hide it?
In a moment of desperation.
Ye Mengfu opened the folded quilt, put the box on the bed, and covered it directly.
Then she quickly pulled the curtain halfway, leaving only a small gap.
Why pull the curtain?
Of course...
The darker the light in the room, the less likely the "thing on the bed" would be discovered!
"Click!"
The door opened.
Lin Yu smiled and looked at Ye Mengfu... and the rather dim room behind her.
Just outside the door.
He had clearly heard the sound of the curtain being pulled in the room.
Oh, this little socially - anxious girl's mind...
Now that Lin Yu was going in, wouldn't the atmosphere in the room become even more ambiguous?
"Xiaofu, you're still wearing a hood in the room?
Are you hot or cold? It seems like you're sweating."
Lin Yu didn't force his way in this time.
Last time.
He had left a bad impression on her.
This time.
Since he was here for the "soul cultivator to form a path", he had to pay attention to the impact.
"Forg...forgot to take it off..."
Ye Mengfu said and quickly took off her hood.
After a moment of awkwardness, she shuffled a little to the side, making way at the door.
The meaning was obvious...
Lin Yu could come in now.
He wasn't a hesitant fool who would waste the opportunity.
He would force his way in even if the door wasn't opened.
Now that he was given the chance, of course he would go in.
After Ye Mengfu closed the door, the light in the room became even darker.
According to normal people's thinking logic.
At this time, one would definitely ask:
Why is the room so dark during the day? Why don't you open the curtain?
But this kind of "helpful situation", only a stupid boy would ruin it himself.
He'd rather die than say it!
Lin Yu glanced at the bed again: "..."
Did Xiaofu think he was blind?
That obvious bulge on the bed could even be said to be hiding a person!
Originally, Lin Yu wanted to pretend not to see it.
But...
"Rustle, rustle!"
"Rustle, rustle!"
"... "
Unfortunately.
There came a rustling sound from inside the quilt.
It sounded like some kind of living thing was moving around on the cardboard box.
Oh well.
He couldn't just play the fool to take care of the little socially - anxious girl's feelings.
Lin Yu pointed at the bed awkwardly and said:
"Is there a mouse on your bed?"
Ye Mengfu blushed deeply on the spot.
Even without touching her cheeks, one could tell how hot they were just by looking.
At this moment, Ye Mengfu.
Felt like her soul was about to float away!
Guys, who can understand? Such an embarrassing thing happened...
She secretly prepared a gift for a boy and was still in the preparation stage.
But she was caught red - handed in her room!
Little did she know.
For an introverted person, just the act of preparing a gift took so much courage.
She had wanted to "repay a dream" with the gift.
Now it had become a new "nightmare"!
If she said that the thing on the bed was for herself, it would be a lie.
She wasn't a liar, and she shouldn't lie to Lin Yu.
But if she just said it was for Lin Yu, then what was the point of hiding it now?
For a moment.
Ye Mengfu felt that her language system was completely out of balance and she couldn't organize her words properly.
In a state of confusion.
Unexpectedly.
An "angel" would descend...
"Xiaofufu, you had that nervous look on your face when you gave me the tarot cards last time.
Is it another surprise for me this time?"
Lin Yu took the initiative to ask.
Oh well.
For the sake of this "family", he had been busy taking care of everyone. He was really exhausted.
Seeing Ye Mengfu so flustered and unable to speak, he really felt sorry for her.
Since he already knew the answer, he might as well expose the truth.
At least.
It could make her less flustered.

You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink.

u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
