“This?”
“Is this how it’s done?”
Shen Buyao spread the blanket over the bed and lay on top of it, asking hesitantly.
There was no need to check through the camera lens.
Just the way Shen Buyao was positioned—merely lying there—was enough.
The sight alone sent Lin Yu’s blood boiling.
“Yes, yes! Exactly this feeling!”
“Next, let’s adjust the pose a little…”
“Buyao, try resting your chin on one hand.”
“Then cross your legs and tilt your head to face me sideways.”
Shen Buyao: “……”
Lin Yu was only giving directions.
He didn’t care about how the subject felt at all.
At this point, being overly polite would just be a waste of opportunity.
He had already shown all the courtesy he needed to.
Now, this was all the doing of his “antique sister.”
Lin Yu was just going along with it!
He was merely following his dear sister’s lead, effortlessly arriving at this moment.
The more decisively Shen Buyao pushed forward,
the more her face burned with embarrassment.
She had thought
Lin Yu would at least pretend a little, taking some normal photos first.
But no—
he went straight for it without hesitation.
Just imagining the pose Lin Yu described, Shen Buyao knew that, given her usual personality, she would never do something like this.
But…
Things had already come this far.
If she asked Lin Yu to go easy on her now, to switch to a different pose…
Would the fragile connection they’d barely managed to maintain—
just snap apart?
Those who had never experienced loneliness wouldn’t understand.
How blissful it was to have someone by your side.
Even if that person…
had a few flaws, or perhaps less-than-pure intentions.
Shen Buyao was willing to let go of her old “self” for this.
“Is… this okay?”
Though she was facing Lin Yu, Shen Buyao couldn’t bring herself to meet his eyes.
Her burning ears told her that her face must be as red as a monkey’s backside.
Lin Yu: “!!!”
What she lacked in figure was more than made up for by her ethereal grace.
If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes,
he would never have believed
that such a fairy-like girl would hide in a room with him, indulging in such mischief!
Her slender fingers shimmered like silken threads in the sunlight streaming through the window.
Propping up her delicate jawline, they accentuated the contours of her face.
The soft curves peeking from beneath the sheer fabric trembled slightly,
mirroring her restless emotions.
The only slight flaw—
was her other hand, unsure where to rest.
Truthfully,
even if Shen Buyao were flawless beyond measure,
Lin Yu still had to step in and “guide” her.
Otherwise, how could he showcase his professionalism?
Even the tiniest adjustment had to be made—just for the sake of it.
“Buyao, you’re doing amazing.”
“Hold still—let me make a tiny tweak.”
With that,
Lin Yu moved closer.
He took Shen Buyao’s hand, which was resting on the blanket.
“You don’t have to force yourself to look seductive or elegant.”
“You’re different from those flashy women outside—your charm isn’t in being coy.”
“The more relaxed and natural you are, the more captivating you become.”
“Haven’t you noticed?”
Gently, Lin Yu adjusted the position of her arm,
placing it where it would feel most comfortable against the blanket.
Shen Buyao’s gaze followed his movements.
Then, without thinking, she glanced up at him.
Just that one look—
instantly soothed her restless heart.
These past few days,
she had only just gotten close to Lin Yu.
And never before had they been alone together in such a quiet, undisturbed space.
Seeing the sincerity and warmth in Lin Yu’s eyes,
a thought suddenly crossed Shen Buyao’s mind…
Maybe…
it wouldn’t be so bad if it were him.
When she first heard from “Big Mother Cow” that Lin Yu might be the key to breaking her predicament,
the desire to get closer to him had overwhelmed her rationality.
Yet now, in this charged and ambiguous atmosphere,
Shen Buyao abruptly regained her clarity.
If this “lucky charm” had been someone else—
would she have reacted the same way?
Before, she would’ve said yes.
But now, she rejected that idea.
Was it just a coincidence that it was him?
No.
Thank goodness it was him!
If she couldn’t relax, maybe it was because she didn’t fully trust the person before her.
But once that trust was absolute, even if she knew it was a trap, she’d jump in without hesitation.
When the heart is at ease,
it naturally reflects in one’s posture and movements.
The most relaxed, natural version of Shen Buyao was now fully unveiled before Lin Yu.
In this atmosphere, the two seemed to share a strange telepathy.
Lin Yu could sense every shift in Shen Buyao’s unguarded state.
“Perfect, hold it right there!”
“Okay…”
“Three, two, one! Move a little… One more shot, stay still!”
“Three, two, one!”
“Shift—”
“Hold!”
There are no unprofessional models—
only unprofessional photographers.
After shooting nearly thirty photos from three different angles,
Lin Yu brought the camera over to Shen Buyao and showed her the first set.
[Ding!]
[Masterful execution—your impeccable photography skills leave your partner awestruck and utterly convinced!]
[Reward: 50 Spirit Stones]
“Lin Yu, you… you’re actually good at this?”
“No—I didn’t mean it like that!”
“Your photography skills are this amazing?”
“Do I really look like this? Or is it just the camera’s fancy editing?”
Seeing the first batch of photos, Shen Buyao was completely won over by Lin Yu’s skill.
She could hardly believe how she appeared through his lens.
“There’s no editing here—it’s all because the model is drop-dead gorgeous!”
[Ding!]
[Smooth-talking at its finest—your flirtatious praise deepens your partner’s affection for you!]
[Reward: 50 Spirit Stones]
“Tch, always saying sweet things to flatter me.”
Though she said that,
Shen Buyao couldn’t help but keep flipping through the photos, utterly enchanted.
Seeing the moment was ripe,
Lin Yu prepared to take things a step further.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, he said to Shen Buyao:
“Alright, that’s the first set for you to see.”
“If we stop to review after every batch, we’ll never finish.”
“Let’s switch poses and keep going, yeah?”
Without a trace of hesitation, Shen Buyao nodded eagerly:
“Sure! Where should I lie next?”
Lin Yu’s eyes gleamed mischievously as he replied:
“This time, you don’t need to lie on your stomach—just lie back on the bed.”
Shen Buyao blinked at him in surprise.
After two seconds of thought,
it dawned on her.
“Oh!!”
“I get it—lying down and tilting my face to the side, right?”
Lin Yu shook his head.
Shen Buyao: “Huh? No?”
Lin Yu: “Buyao, you might not know this, but there’s a certain angle called… the boyfriend’s perspective!”

However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw!

With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back.

He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes...

In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.

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.
