Answer the question truthfully, how are you going to save it (Bonus Update)

Lin Yu was all too familiar with this plotline from the TV series "The Storm Riders"!

Jian Chen, the successor of the Hero's Sword!

His debut was incredibly cool, and when Lin Yu was a kid watching it, he always thought Jian Chen was some kind of unparalleled genius.

But in the end...

The villain beat him to a pulp, tied him up with chains, and dumped him in a ruined temple.

Before leaving, they even forced Jian Chen to swallow the "Seven Emotions and Six Desires Pill."

Then, they spread the news to Chu Chu, the love interest of Bu Jingyun, one of the show's protagonists.

They waited for the kind-hearted girl to come to his rescue, and then...

They would use Bu Jingyun's hands to eliminate Jian Chen!

Now that Lin Yu was older, he could analyze this plotline rationally—there were way too many plot holes and ridiculous moments.

But still... it was undeniably entertaining!

Glancing at Xiao Fufu (Ye Mengfu) beside him, her reaction made it clear she recognized this scene too!

Ye Mengfu instinctively lowered her head, unable to look directly at the TV.

Of all the times to be watching this with Lin Yu...

But she was the one who had agreed to watch this show earlier.

Given her inability to refuse, she couldn’t bring herself to ask to change the channel.

She could avoid looking, but...

She couldn’t block out the sounds!

"Jian Chen: Chu Chu, listen to me... you need to leave, get as far away from me as possible. This is Duan Lang’s scheme, he wants to—oh god, he wants to—"

"Chu Chu: Brother Jian Chen, what’s wrong with you? How could I just abandon you? Let’s go before Duan Lang comes back!"

"Snap! Snap! (The sound of chains breaking)"

Ye Mengfu: "!!!"

Lin Yu: "..."

This kind of plot development...

Forget about whether the "Seven Emotions and Six Desires Pill" could be neutralized with just a bit of willpower.

Just look at the dialogue and actions of the characters.

The guy still had some rationality left, yet he kept rambling without ever explaining what "Duan Lang’s scheme" actually was.

And the girl? So naive it was painful.

Jian Chen was practically transforming right in front of her, groaning and panting like a wild animal, yet she still couldn’t sense any danger and stubbornly insisted on saving him.

If this aired in a modern TV show or novel, it would be torn apart by critics.

Cringe! Disgusting plot! Forced stupidity! So toxic...

But damn, it was still so entertaining!

After just a few lines of back-and-forth, things quickly escalated.

"Chu Chu: Brother Jian Chen, what are you doing? Let me go!"

"Jian Chen: I need you, Chu Chu... I need you..."

(Scene of Jian Chen carrying Chu Chu away)

Just hearing the dialogue and sounds was enough to make Ye Mengfu want to burrow under the blankets in embarrassment.

If Lin Yu hadn’t been holding her, she might have already vanished.

Since they’d stumbled upon this scene, Lin Yu wasn’t about to let the opportunity go to waste.

With a tone of genuine curiosity, he asked:

"Xiao Fufu, do you think a drug like this actually exists in real life?"

Ye Mengfu: "Huh?"

Lin Yu’s sudden question made her already flustered heart skip a beat.

Clutching the blanket, she stammered:

"TV shows... are all made up, right?"

"In real life, there probably..."

She really was trying to analyze it seriously.

She wanted to say no.

But then she remembered—

Occasionally, she’d see news online about young women being drugged in certain places...

From a logical standpoint, given her limited life experience, she couldn’t give such an absolute answer.

So, she corrected herself:

"In real life... maybe it exists."

"Or... maybe not."

She couldn’t lie when answering Lin Yu’s question.

She had to be careful and precise.

Little did she know—

This kind of non-answer was exactly what Lin Yu expected.

And it gave him the perfect opening to escalate things!

Lin Yu continued with playful curiosity:

"Hmm, that makes sense."

"Xiao Fufu, I have another question. Can you think carefully before answering?"

"It might sound silly, but for someone who just started dating you..."

"Your answer is really important!"

Seeing how serious he was, Ye Mengfu’s nervousness faded a little.

She turned to look into Lin Yu’s eyes and nodded firmly.

"If a drug like this really existed, and I fell for 'Duan Lang’s scheme,' would you save me?"

Ye Mengfu’s breath hitched: "!!!"

W-what kind of question was that?!

How could she apply a TV show’s plot to real life?

This would never happen in reality!

But Lin Yu said...

Her answer mattered to him?

After a moment of thought, Ye Mengfu believed she understood what he was really asking (or so she thought).

He wanted to know...

Whether her purity or his life meant more to her!

In the romance comics she’d read, young couples often used little tests like this to gauge their importance in each other’s hearts.

So, Lin Yu was the same way, huh?

Following her principle of answering earnestly, she lowered her guard and replied:

"I would... save you."

The moment the words left her lips—

"Eep!"

Just like Chu Chu in the show, Ye Mengfu briefly lost control of her body.

Lin Yu effortlessly lifted her, flipping her onto her back so she was now lying on top of him.

Their previous intimate moments had never gone beyond kissing, hugging, or cuddling.

This "reverse cuddle" position—on the bed, no less—was completely new territory.

And to make things worse...

Lin Yu had already tugged her last layer of defense down to her knees.

The sudden movement left Ye Mengfu utterly unprepared.

Her legs instinctively tried to part, but his grip kept them pressed together.

She had to quickly squeeze them tight, like stacking blocks, to keep from sliding off him.

Once she steadied herself, she realized...

They were so close!

So close that she could almost feel his restless heartbeat through their contact.

Strangely enough...

She thought she’d be overwhelmed with shyness, unable to even look at him.

But that wasn’t the case.

Instead, she wanted to gaze into Lin Yu’s eyes properly.

They were big, bright, and mesmerizing.

Lin Yu lightly pecked her forehead:

"Mwah~"

"Xiao Fufu, how exactly are you planning to save me?"

Ye Mengfu’s heart raced: "I..."

When she tried to turn her face away, Lin Yu cupped her cheeks and kissed her forehead again:

"Mwah~"

"Xiao Fufu, you still haven’t answered me. How are you going to save me?"

She tried to escape again: "I..."

Lin Yu caught her once more...

This cycle repeated three times.

Finally, Xiao Fufu stopped avoiding his gaze.

For the first time, she realized that forehead kisses could be just as dizzying as lip kisses.

Her mind felt hazy.

When Lin Yu asked again, "How are you going to save me?"

Xiao Fufu did the boldest thing she’d ever done in her life.

"I’ll save you by..."

Mimicking his gesture, she stretched up to plant a kiss on his forehead:

"Mwah~"
