Eyes on the Bowl While Eating, Who Can Resist a Pair of Twins

Just lying down to rest should be fine, right?

Is... is it really necessary to turn off the lights?

Ye Mengfu was so nervous she could barely think straight, completely unable to guess what Lin Yu was planning.

Was he worried that Ying'er might wake up and find their current situation strange?

Well... that explanation kind of made sense... right?

As the room plunged into total darkness, not a single sliver of light remaining,

Ye Mengfu froze stiff.

She lay rigidly straight, hands folded over her stomach like a proper lady at a funeral.

Straining to suppress her rapid breathing, she focused on every sound around her.

But the domineering advance she'd imagined never came.

Instead, the dark silhouette beside her remained calm and steady,

showing no signs of improper behavior toward her.

Sigh...

Seems she'd overthought things.

Lin Yu must genuinely be tired—that's why he suggested resting.

Turning off the lights held no special meaning.

After all,

who sleeps with the lights on?

She always kept them off!

A few minutes later,

the breathing beside her gradually evened out into a steady rhythm.

Ye Mengfu recognized it as the sound of deep sleep.

Too bad the room was pitch black; she couldn't see a thing.

Otherwise, she'd have loved to observe what Lin Yu looked like while asleep.

Recalling everything that had happened over the past few days, Ye Mengfu felt like she was dreaming.

A girl like her... actually in a relationship?

And with...

a guy who perfectly matched her ideal type, no less—a "secret romance" under the same roof.

Ever since her teenage years,

Ye Mengfu had considered herself utterly romance-proof.

With a personality like hers, who could possibly like her?

Yet somehow,

Lin Yu had stumbled into her world by accident, giving her an entirely new experience.

Just as her thoughts began to wander,

the person beside her shifted slightly closer.

He even seemed to have turned onto his side.

Ye Mengfu: "!!!"

M-movement during sleep is normal!

Don’t panic, don’t panic.

She kicked her blankets in her sleep too, didn’t she?

Mustering courage, Ye Mengfu tentatively reached out with her outer arm,

hovering it in the air as if to gauge Lin Yu’s position.

But after a moment,

she chickened out and withdrew it.

What if she accidentally woke him? That’d make things even harder to explain.

The earlier misunderstanding hadn’t even been cleared up yet.

Best not to deepen the confusion.

As long as she stayed still and didn’t fidget,

Lin Yu would probably just shift around a little—nothing more.

Little did she know,

Lin Yu could see everything perfectly in the dark.

Especially Ye Mengfu’s aborted attempt to touch him—it nearly made him laugh out loud.

Such a timid, well-behaved little thing.

And the more flustered she got, the more his inner troublemaker wanted to tease her.

With flawless nonchalance, Lin Yu stretched his arm out in a sleep-like motion...

and draped it over Ye Mengfu’s waist.

Ye Mengfu: "!!!"

S-sleep movements are normal!

Don’t panic, don’t panic.

Lin Yu’s hand was just resting on her stomach.

Once he fell deeper asleep, she could gently slide his arm away.

She repeated the reassurances in her head,

though truthfully, her emotions leaned more toward bashfulness than anxiety.

A stray thought crossed her mind: If only Ying'er weren’t here tonight...

[Ding!]

[Masterful move! Intimate interaction between cultivation partners has flustered the Joyous Sect Talisman Envoy!]

[Reward: 50 spirit stones.]

Ye Mengfu shook her head violently.

Reality isn’t some manga!

After a few minutes of stillness,

confirming Lin Yu wasn’t escalating things,

she cautiously gripped his wrist to ease his arm off.

But the moment she did,

Lin Yu—as if sensing the disturbance—stretched luxuriously.

Startled, Ye Mengfu yanked her hand back.

Worried his stretching might brush against her hovering arm,

she instinctively raised both hands above her head...

in full surrender pose.

Then, to her utter shock,

after finishing his stretch, Lin Yu simply curled an arm around her waist

and effortlessly slid her lightweight frame toward him—

like pulling a pillow into a snuggle.

Ye Mengfu: "!!!"

H-he’s trapped me!

Don’t panic, don’t panic!

Everyone hugs pillows or blankets in their sleep!

She slept while hugging things too!

As long as she didn’t squirm, everything would be fine...

...

Holding a beauty in his arms

was undeniably delightful for Lin Yu.

But pushing further might cross Ye Mengfu’s comfort zone.

Worse, if Ying'er woke up now, it’d spell instant catastrophe.

Still, tonight’s experiment had confirmed one thing:

Ye Mengfu no longer resisted his closeness at all.

Saturday’s date would be the perfect chance to claim her fully.

For now, he contentedly held her close,

though sleep was the last thing on his mind.

Instead, he turned his attention back to the system.

First step:

Select tonight’s dream targets.

Normally, he’d rendezvous with Ye Mengfu in dreams,

but tonight required a change of plans.

Not due to lack of progress—

but because the trio had stayed up late watching the game.

Ye Mengfu likely wouldn’t fall asleep anytime soon.

The system gave no guarantees about next-day dream effects,

so wasting tonight’s opportunity seemed unwise.

Better to pick someone else.

As for Auntie...

She’d just undergone an identity crisis; her mind was probably chaotic.

Best to give her space to sort things out.

With his two regular dream companions ruled out,

every remaining option promised... entertainment.

After some deliberation—

[Ding!]

[Dual-Entry Dream Technique activated!]

[Tonight’s hosts: Library Elder (Chi Qingshui) & Joyous Sect Bell Envoy (Chi Qingchi). Dream type: Random.]

Lin Yu’s primary pick was his little girlfriend.

Adding her twin sister, Qingchi, was purely for the novelty—

after all,

who could resist diving into both twins’ dreams simultaneously?

[Ding!]

[Reminder: First dream (Joyous Sect Bell Envoy) now accessible. Host may concentrate to enter.]

That was fast.

Qingchi must already be dreaming.

So the system alerted him when dreams became available?

Makes sense—otherwise, he’d just pass out randomly.

Reluctantly, Lin Yu released Ye Mengfu and resumed a neutral sleeping posture.

If Ying'er woke up now,

finding them entangled would be... difficult to explain.

Preparations complete,

he focused his consciousness and slipped into the dreamscape...
