Lin Yu moved much faster than Ye Mengfu.
With permission granted,
he had already neatly removed his armor in just over ten seconds.
To avoid appearing too eager,
Lin Yu deliberately waited a moment before approaching the bed.
Gazing at the shy beauty under the covers,
his mischievous impulses flared up again.
...
Ye Mengfu, buried under the blanket, felt as though several minutes had passed.
Yet there was still no movement beside her.
Had Lin Yu changed his mind? Was he not coming after all?
Staying under the covers in her pajamas
was making her unbearably warm!
Carefully, she lifted a corner of the blanket, keeping her eyes shut,
and asked softly:
"Lin Yu, are... are you done changing?"
Silence followed her question.
Ye Mengfu: "???"
Where was he?
Why was there no sound at all?
Surrounded by darkness and utter quiet,
the unease of being left in an unfamiliar situation slowly turned into panic.
She warned:
"I... I'm opening my eyes now?"
Again, there was no response.
Ye Mengfu slowly opened her eyes and looked up.
The next moment—
"Whoosh—"
The blanket was flung into the air before her eyes.
Immediately after,
the cool breeze from the motion brushed against her nightgown.
By the time she realized what was happening,
the mattress trembled beneath shifting weight.
Her legs were completely seized by the intruder under the covers.
"Ah— Mm!"
In emergencies,
timid people instinctively think...
the safest place is under the covers!
Ye Mengfu was no exception.
She quickly pulled the blanket back over her head.
But her tugging and Lin Yu's lifting created an odd synergy—
on the bouncy mattress, a brief... "blanket roof" formed!
Then, in a flash—
the man was right beside her under the covers!
"Mm!!"
Ye Mengfu didn’t get a clear look at Lin Yu’s face.
The image flickered past,
leaving only the memory of his hands grazing her skin.
She had just burrowed back in when she immediately scrambled out again,
pressing down on the blanket with her arms
as if sheer force could seal Lin Yu inside.
Little did she know,
this wouldn’t "trap" him at all—
it only encouraged the "blanket monster’s" mischief!
When vision is blocked,
the body’s sense of touch sharpens intensely.
Every tiny shift of Lin Yu’s hands sent signals straight to Ye Mengfu’s brain.
Stay calm... stay calm...
Hadn’t she prepared for this?
This was just a natural step for couples in love...
Nothing to fear. Lin Yu was gentle. He would—
"Pfft!"
...What was he even doing under there?
Ye Mengfu froze completely,
only feeling something skimming along her waist.
The last line of defense around her hips
seemed to be slipping away.
Soon,
she faced the truth:
Not "seemed"—it was happening.
She knew the difference between coverage and exposure!
Once the barrier pooled at her knees,
Lin Yu lightly tapped her leg, lifting and lowering it gently.
Ye Mengfu: "..."
So... he wanted her to help?
To fully remove the obstacle?
If she complied,
what purpose would her nightgown even serve?
At best, it’d just set the mood!
It wasn’t that she wanted to refuse Lin Yu.
But...
her nerves were too frayed.
Her limbs wouldn’t obey—locked in place.
Not quite cramping,
but the effect was the same.
Overwhelming emotions, good or bad,
left girls like Ye Mengfu utterly helpless.
This, of course,
was something Lin Yu noticed as he prepared to advance.
Such a sweet, considerate Mengfu—
if she stayed this tense during such an important moment,
the memory would be far from perfect.
He left the last barrier at her knees for now,
then moved upward...
The "blanket creature" emerged from the covers near her pillow,
free at last.
Before Ye Mengfu could shy away or avoid his gaze,
he gently pulled her into his arms.
"Don’t be nervous. Don’t be scared."
"I’ll hold you until you relax..."
"If you’re still tense today, I’ll just keep holding you. Nothing more."
"Even if we do nothing but this,"
"I’d still feel at peace."
These words
made Ye Mengfu forget that Lin Yu was the source of her nerves.
Now, his embrace felt incredibly safe.
Without thinking, she wrapped her arms around him, clinging tightly.
"What do you usually do when you’re nervous, Mengfu?"
Lin Yu softly patted her back,
his touch now tender, not teasing.
"Usually... I just space out."
Lin Yu chuckled.
Ha! Wasn’t that just freezing in fear?
Clearly, waiting for her to suggest solutions was pointless—
he’d have to ease her tension himself.
He reached for the remote on the nightstand
and turned on the TV across the bed.
"This concludes our live coverage..."
The TV’s noise immediately caught Ye Mengfu’s attention.
She glanced up, but the awkward angle strained her neck,
so she settled back into Lin Yu’s arms.
After a few seconds,
she peeked again...
She’d hoped TV would ease the tension,
but didn’t dare ask him to let go.
Rather than trouble him, she troubled her neck instead.
Adorably foolish.
"Let’s prop up the pillows and sit to watch?"
"But I’m keeping an arm around you—no escaping!"
Ye Mengfu bit her lip and nodded obediently.
Lin Yu adjusted their pillows to a comfortable height
and flipped channels for a show or movie.
Then, on one station,
a familiar transition song grabbed his attention—
"Don’t tell me forever, forever~~"
Followed by
the golden title: The Storm Riders.
Lin Yu: "Mengfu, have you seen this drama?"
Ye Mengfu nodded. "Mhm... it’s good."
Lin Yu: "Then let’s watch this together."
He pulled her close again.
As the opening credits faded,
a man with wild hair and chains appeared in a ruined temple.
Cut to—
A girl in pink clothes rushed in after him.
"Brother Jian Chen? How did you also get captured by Duan Lang?"
"Miss Chu Chu, don't touch me!"
Lin Yu: "!!!"
Hiss!
This plot twist...
Brilliant!
...
(Second update for today. There will be an additional chapter later tonight—it might be a bit late, but it’s guaranteed!)
with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack. Unable to use active skills. Fortunately, with each level gained, he acquired a new passive skill.

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
