If others did this, Lin Yu would have pondered it for a while longer.
But when Old Wang did it, it was purely out of his straightforward and generous nature.
Lin Yu glanced at the brand on the box:
Goubuli Traditional Pastries.
"I thought Goubuli only made baozi—do they do pastries too?"
"Sticking with Brother Biao, you learn a thing or two."
Unexpectedly,
Wang Biao brushed it off casually:
"What’s there to learn?"
"These clueless folks heard my accent and assumed I was from Tianjin."
"Talk about missing the mark with their flattery!"
The two shared a laugh and continued their easygoing banter.
……
Lin Yu didn’t linger much longer at the villa.
At 9:15, he headed to the side gate of the residential complex a little early.
Arriving ahead of time to wait for Xiao Fufu would at least show sincerity.
But when he reached the entrance, Lin Yu realized
he wasn’t the only one trying to make a good impression.
Under the shade of a tree by the gate,
Ye Mengfu had already arrived first.
Her hands clutched the straps of her backpack as she watched the occasional passerby entering or leaving the complex.
The moment she noticed Lin Yu, Xiao Fufu’s eyes instantly brightened.
A gentle smile curled at her lips before she shyly lowered her head.
Today, Xiao Fufu’s outfit was slightly bolder than usual.
She still wore an oversized hoodie with a kangaroo pocket,
but the long sleeves had been swapped for a lightweight summer version.
The white base was accented with pure blue trim on the hood and cuffs,
and a cute little rabbit was printed on the front—clearly a deliberate choice for the occasion.
Fitted white shorts paired with white sneakers and ankle socks completed the look.
An all-white ensemble like this would be risky for most skin tones,
but on Xiao Fufu, her luminous complexion outshone even the brightest white.
The fresh, effortless charm of her outfit left Lin Yu momentarily stunned.
Knowing that those slender, flawless legs belonged to his girlfriend
filled him with a quiet, heartwarming sense of fulfillment.
"Why didn’t you message me when you got here?"
"Silly Fufu, were you just planning to wait here the whole time?"
Lin Yu stepped closer,
reaching up to adjust her slightly lopsided hood.
After fixing it, he took a step back, gave an approving thumbs-up, and grinned.
[Ding!]
[Masterstroke move! Your tender, affectionate gesture has delighted your beloved!]
[Reward: 50 Spirit Stones.]
"I... just got here too,"
Ye Mengfu murmured softly.
In truth,
she’d arrived twenty minutes ago.
But since it wasn’t yet the agreed-upon time, how could she message Lin Yu to hurry?
Her early arrival was her own doing.
She’d woken up at six in the morning to prepare.
By seven, she was already fully ready.
The thought of today being their special date
had left her heart fluttering uncontrollably.
Only by leaving early and waiting could she calm her nerves.
Lin Yu: "Had breakfast yet?"
Ye Mengfu nodded: "Mhm, I ate."
Lin Yu: "Should we grab a cab now?"
Ye Mengfu shuffled her feet slightly, closing the distance between them.
……
Before long,
the two were seated side by side in the back of a taxi.
The forty-minute ride
gave them their first intimate moment of the day.
Lin Yu placed both their backpacks on one side of the seat, taking up most of the space,
while he and Ye Mengfu sat pressed close together.
The driver, an elderly man with silver hair,
seemed long accustomed to young couples being affectionate.
He focused on the road without a word.
Ye Mengfu remained as shy and reserved as ever.
Even though they were now officially dating—and had even shared intimate moments—
in situations like this,
she instantly reverted to a timid little rabbit.
Too hesitant to initiate anything, she could only wait for Lin Yu to "pick her up."
Lin Yu, of course, knew exactly what to do.
He spoke up gently:
"Xiao Fufu, we’ve got a while before we reach the exhibition hall."
"Your eyes are so red—you must’ve woken up really early, huh?"
"Here, rest on my shoulder. I’ll wake you when we get there."
"Can’t have you drowsy today—gotta stay sharp for the visit!"
Ye Mengfu’s hands rested on her lap.
She instinctively wanted to say, "I’m not tired, it’s fine."
Her red eyes weren’t from lack of sleep—
she’d worn contact lenses today for a prettier look.
Normally,
she never bothered with them.
Just putting them in had taken forever, leaving her teary-eyed.
But before she could even utter the word "I—"
Lin Yu’s arm had already slipped around her.
With a light tug inward,
Xiao Fufu found herself leaning against his broad shoulder.
Lin Yu could feel her tension.
Her head was resting on him,
but her back stayed rigid,
leaving enough space between them to fit another backpack.
Lin Yu teased in a whisper:
"Hah, my girlfriend’s made of steel, huh?"
"How’re you gonna sleep all stiff like that?"
"Relax… it’s just us today. No need to be nervous."
As he spoke,
his hand drifted to her waist,
giving it a reassuring pat to coax her into easing up.
Summoning all her courage, Ye Mengfu adjusted her posture.
Finally,
the two nestled together like any other couple.
[Ding!]
[Masterstroke move! Your loving embrace has captured your beloved’s heart!]
[Reward: 50 Spirit Stones.]
Cradled in Lin Yu’s arms, Ye Mengfu felt like she was drifting on a dreamy beach—
warm, comfortable, tender, and serene.
Then—
"Mwah…"
Lin Yu dotted a kiss on Xiao Fufu’s forehead,
melting her further into his embrace.
This fluttery, youthful excitement was something Lin Yu hadn’t felt in ages.
He began rhythmically patting her shoulder…
Within minutes,
the girl in his arms grew even softer, her breathing steady and even.
Lin Yu knew she’d truly fallen asleep.
At this moment,
he felt a quiet pride.
With Xiao Fufu’s personality,
she’d never let herself doze off like this
unless she trusted someone completely.
It meant
he’d already carved out a special place in her heart.

esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.
