Chi Qingchi widened her eyes and looked at her sister beside her.
Chi Qingshui forced herself to appear calm, though her heart was pounding with nervousness.
Could it really be such a coincidence?
The first time she and Lin Yu were having a meal together near campus…
They ran into their classmates!
Chi Qingshui exchanged a glance with Lin Yu.
Lin Yu: "…"
Chi Qingshui: "!!!"
The "guilty" look in Lin Yu’s eyes clearly said:
I’m sorry. My presence has put you in an awkward position.
But it was she who had encouraged Lin Yu to join the gathering boldly.
How could she let him take the blame for this?
And in the future…
What would Lin Yu think of her?
"Xiao Yu, are these your classmates?" Chen Qimeng asked Lin Yu eagerly.
Seeing how warmly everyone greeted Lin Yu, Chen Qimeng naively assumed he must be quite popular at school.
As Lin Yu stood up,
Chi Qingshui, as if possessed, rose to her feet as well.
[Ding!]
[Critical Strike! The perfect synchronization with your Dao Companion has dealt a heavy blow to the leader of the Blazing Sea Demon Cult!]
[Reward: 50 Spirit Stones.]
Chi Qingshui spoke up first:
"What a coincidence! Qingchi and I just ran into them earlier while buying snacks for everyone."
"I didn’t expect you all to come here for dinner too."
Lin Yu, surprised, played along:
"Yeah, what a coincidence! Class Rep, where are you sitting? We’ll come over to chat later."
Originally, Lin Yu had planned to take the lead.
But he never expected Chi Qingshui to step forward instead.
Had she chosen self-destruction over silence and guilt?
Shi Yanhai maintained an impeccable poker face and said calmly:
"Qingshui, Lin Yu… So many friends are here today…"
"Hello everyone, we’re from the same class. I’m the class rep, Shi Yanhai."
"You two—oh, and Qingchi too—did you just happen to run into each other and decide to share a table?"
Shi Yanhai handled the situation with grace, saving face for everyone.
Only at the end did he finally address the question he truly cared about.
Hearing her name mentioned, Chi Qingchi had no choice but to stand up and wave at the four boys.
Lin Yu: "We’re…"
Chi Qingshui: "We planned to have dinner together here."
[Ding!]
[Furious Assault! Your Dao Companion’s direct counterattack has dealt another devastating blow to the leader of the Blazing Sea Demon Cult!]
[Reward: 50 Spirit Stones.]
Lin Yu: "???"
Is my girlfriend really this bold?
Before he could even intervene, Chi Qingshui had already launched a double strike!
Still, her straightforward response wasn’t wrong.
With so many roommates present,
if they had been evasive, it might have made the others uncomfortable.
Chi Qingshui knew which priorities mattered more.
The moment she said those words,
Gou Feng immediately straightened his back and turned to look at Zhao Bin and Gao Yumin.
See?
Didn’t I tell you there was something going on? And you didn’t believe me?
Why aren’t you saying anything now?
Seeing Shi Yanhai frozen in place, Zhao Bin quickly nudged him from behind.
Only then did Shi Yanhai continue:
"Oh… is that so? This place… this restaurant is really good."
"We come here often too. If you have time later, maybe we can discuss the movie screening event?"
"I’ve already finalized the participants."
"The advisor mentioned a lot of details about the arrangements—maybe you haven’t heard yet. It’ll only take about ten minutes."
Listening to Shi Yanhai’s excuse,
Lin Yu couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
Kids at this age are so amusing.
They love acting all official over the tiniest things.
Do we really need to "align granularity" just for some movie tickets?
Without hesitation, Chi Qingshui replied:
"We can talk about it over WeChat later, Class Rep."
"Today, we’re busy having dinner with everyone. Probably won’t have time."
With that,
Chi Qingshui sat back down.
Around the table, the sharper girls exchanged glances.
They all sensed the tension in the air.
This so-called "Class Rep" had practically written I’m into Qingshui all over his face.
And Qingshui, in turn, made I’m not interested crystal clear with her actions.
[Ding!]
[Critical Strike! Your Dao Companion’s icy dismissal has dealt a mental blow to the leader of the Blazing Sea Demon Cult!]
[Reward: 50 Spirit Stones.]
Lin Yu was almost caught off guard by how swiftly she handled it.
I didn’t even get to fight—the demon leader’s already on the verge of defeat!
All this fighting spirit with nowhere to vent!
Shi Yanhai, meanwhile, was utterly crushed.
She couldn’t possibly have missed the subtext in my words, right?
Was I not direct enough?
She can have dinner with Lin Yu but can’t spare me ten minutes?
"Class Rep, we’ll… talk later if there’s time," Lin Yu said amiably.
The boys behind Shi Yanhai kept pushing him to leave,
but he seemed too stubborn to back down, still scrambling for a response.
Shen Buyao then remarked lightly:
"Everyone, I still have to open my shop later."
"I can probably stay for… another half hour at most."
"Sorry about that. Next time, I’ll make it up to you all—don’t hold it against me today."
Leaving early was true enough.
It was also deliberately said for the sake of those young guys.
Did you hear that?
Sister is about to leave the table.
Hurry up and find your own place to stay. Don't keep pestering Chi and disturbing their dinner.
Shen Buyao's rare gentle words like this.
Couldn't deceive those who were familiar with her.
But it really confused another silly guy...
Gao Yumin: "!!!"
Hearing that Shen Buyao was about to leave.
It really panicked him.
He specifically urged Shi Yanhai to come here quickly just for Shen Buyao.
Now he hadn't even had a chance to talk to her, and this ancient - style beauty was leaving?
The opportunity mustn't be missed!
Gao Yumin immediately stepped forward and said actively:
"Beauty, beauty, my name is Gao Yumin."
"You're friends with Lin Yu, right? Lin Yu and I are really good buddies!"
"Is it convenient to leave me your WeChat?"
"To be honest, I'm not very good at speaking... "
"Just now when I saw you from across the way, I really felt my heart skip a beat!"
Lin Yu: "!!!"
Everyone at the table: "!!!"
Oh, Gao!
Why on earth did you have to pick on Shen Buyao out of all people!
Then.
Shen Buyao looked down at the phone Gao Yumin took out, frowned and said:
"Skip your head! You look so lecherous!"
Gao Yumin: "!!!"
The evil - doer group: "???"
Everyone at the table: "..."
Only Maomao was triggered and said in the quiet atmosphere:
"It's from Eastern Condors, at the forty - seventh minute and thirteenth second, Sister Zuxian's line."

iemie, male, Race: Moon. Hobby: Collecting anomalies. At first, he thought he possessed two systems: the Crimson Rainbow Moon and the Clear Cold Frost Moon. One day, he discovered that he himself could also become a system for others, holding the chessboard of fate. The Eighth Epoch, also known as the Eternal Moon Epoch. Humans, witches, elves, bloodline descendants, specters, demons, and spirits together compose a new history.

I'm just a traveler who enjoys collecting interesting creatures," Chen Miemie said.
close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
