After the song ended,
Mo Shangying held her phone and glanced at Maomao sitting beside her:
"Crafty Maomao, everyone's QQ Zone posts got read out loud."
"Did you delete all your old posts? There's not a single one left?"
Maomao replied calmly:
"I’ve never posted anything."
For a moment,
the group exchanged surprised glances.
Only Xia Yiwei’s eyes held a trace of sympathy, though she didn’t voice the reason.
Lin Yu had also noticed Maomao’s empty QQ Zone.
Raised under "elite education," Maomao likely had little time for leisure.
Things like using QQ, posting updates, or writing blogs might have been entirely foreign to her.
Having guessed as much,
Lin Yu had deliberately avoided bringing it up.
Yet,
to his surprise, Ying'er was the one who broached the topic.
What shocked him even more was—
Mo Shangying blinked and asked curiously:
"Is posting updates illegal?"
The group: "???"
Maomao: "...No."
Mo Shangying: "Then what’s the problem? It’s never too late to try something new. How about your debut post?"
Under Mo Shangying’s earnest gaze, Maomao felt a sudden surge of energy.
Hesitantly, she picked up her phone and opened QQ Zone.
Then, she turned to Mo Shangying:
"What should I write?"
Mo Shangying shrugged her slender shoulders:
"How should I know? Just say whatever’s on your mind."
"It’s your space—what you write there…"
"is entirely up to you!"
Maomao’s eyes flickered, unconsciously drifting toward Xia Yiwei.
Xia Yiwei smiled brightly and nodded, gesturing as if to say, "Go ahead."
Lowering her head, Maomao cradled her phone, thought for a moment, and slowly began typing…
At the dinner table,
everyone simultaneously refreshed their feeds, searching for the latest update from their friend.
The anticipation was palpable!
"Tonight’s dinner was delicious."
Just as Maomao was about to post the words, she hesitated and edited them again…
Soon,
a new update appeared in everyone’s feeds:
"Maomao (cat avatar)"
"Tonight’s dinner was wonderful."
Within mere seconds,
notifications—something Maomao’s phone had never displayed before—began lighting up.
+1 +2 +3…
Lin Yu noticed an unfamiliar joy flicker across Maomao’s usually composed face.
Her expression resembled that of "a little girl receiving her first gift."
Maomao turned to Mo Shangying and said:
"Ying'er, thank you. You’re a kind and easygoing person."
Mo Shangying: "Uh…"
Lin Yu then observed an unfamiliar discomfort flash across Ying'er’s cheerful face.
Her expression mirrored that of "a rival admitting, 'Out of everyone, you understand me best.'"
The group could sense that if the dinner continued like this,
it would become one of those rare, heartwarming moments in the apartment.
But the ladies had no idea…
Their peaceful evening was possible only because someone else was about to shoulder the storm.
[Ding!]
[Crisis Alert: The leader and all members of the Blazing Sea Demonic Cult have appeared nearby. The group’s location has been exposed. Host, remain vigilant and eliminate the threat promptly!]
Hearing the system’s warning,
Lin Yu casually downed the last of his wine.
Tch.
It was bound to happen sooner or later.
Time to shake off the melancholy and warmth—
and bring on something far more thrilling!
Lin Yu could already hear Shi Yanhai and his gang exchanging expletive-laden chatter nearby.
......
"Old Gou, don’t you dare screw with me about Qingshui!"
"I’m dead serious. If you’re lying, tell me now."
"Or if things go south later, we’re done as brothers!"
A guy in a color-block T-shirt, athletic shorts, and designer sneakers
glared at Gou Feng, demanding answers.
Gou Feng clapped his hands, even more earnest:
"I’d be your son if I lied!"
"The scent was identical!"
"Have I ever been wrong before?"
Zhao Bin gasped:
"Bro, look at that huge table—holy crap!"
"Not just our class’s twins, but a whole squad of stunners!"
"Has Lin Yu gotten into some shady business lately?"
"One guy with… a pack of women? They…"
Before he could finish,
Shi Yanhai elbowed him sharply, scowling:
"He’s shady?"
"And the women eating with him? What’re you implying?"
"That they’re all shady too?"
Zhao Bin rubbed his chest, wincing:
"Oww, that’s not what I meant!"
"Bro, getting mad at us won’t help!"
"Big Gao! Hey, Big Gao!"
"Say something, man!"
Noticing Gao Yumin spacing out, Zhao Bin tugged his sleeve.
Gao Yumin murmured dreamily:
"Guys… I think I’m in love again."
"Who’s that girl in traditional dress? She’s… she’s my exact type!"
"Shouldn’t we… go over there?"
"Yanhai, didn’t you want answers? Let’s move!"
Shi Yanhai: "..."
Zhao Bin: "..."
Gou Feng: "..."
After living together for so long,
the trio instantly recognized Gao Yumin’s… condition.
His towering height and lean frame did attract certain girls.
Among their four-man squad,
Gao Yumin had the most dating experience—even more than Shi Yanhai.
Shi Yanhai had no time to mock the overgrown horndog.
But one thing Gao Yumin said was right—
Speculating about why Lin Yu was dining with Qingshui
was a waste of breath.
If this was just a chance encounter between classmates,
and Qingshui had joined Lin Yu’s table,
then given his history with her, she wouldn’t refuse him either!
Even without a solid plan,
Shi Yanhai stubbornly declared:
"Let’s go. We were just picking a place to eat anyway—today, it’s this one."
"Act natural. Play it off as a coincidence."
The moment he finished,
Gao Yumin grabbed a beer and charged ahead eagerly.
......
At the table of one man and eight women,
after hearing the Blazing Sea Demonic Cult’s approach, Lin Yu eagerly awaited their arrival.
After waiting forever,
they were finally here!
Soon, exaggerated greetings rang out:
"Hey? What a coincidence!"
"Just picking a random spot and running into classmates!"
"Yo, Lin Yu, fancy meeting you here!"
"......"
The forced chatter drew everyone’s attention.
......
] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.

m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules.
