Self-Sacrificing Xia Shanshan Diagnosed with Yips

"Pia!"

Lin Yu instinctively swung his palm out.

Of course, he wasn’t trying to send Xia Xiashan flying.

Instead, his hand landed on a certain undulating, delightful spot, producing a crisp, pleasing sound.

"Uh… Lin Yu, you—!"

Xia Xiashan realized what was happening and flusteredly tried to turn away.

But Lin Yu was quicker. He grabbed her by the neck and pressed her face against the shattered remains of the "Martial Arts" sign.

"Did I say you could turn around?"

"Don’t forget—you still have your sister Xia Yiwei, and your cousin Maomao."

Lin Yu feigned a threatening tone, deliberately naming the two people closest to Xia Xiashan.

This was another test.

He wanted to see if, when faced with threats against her family, Xia Xiashan’s mental defenses would crumble, causing the dream world to collapse.

But once again…

She held firm!

No signs of the dream world collapsing.

Incredible.

Not just impressive—extraordinary.

Lin Yu had invaded the dreams of countless girls before.

None had ever withstood even the slightest provocation without their mental worlds shattering.

Yet Xia Xiashan had endured threat after threat without breaking.

This emboldened Lin Yu to push even further.

After all, this was just a dream…

No real-world laws or morals applied here.

As for Xia Xiashan…

Pinned against the sign, her expression twisted in pain.

Only one thought consumed her mind—

She never should have provoked Lin Yu.

And she absolutely couldn’t let him harm her family.

Lin Yu’s overwhelming power had completely subdued her.

At this point…

She had no choice but to obey.

"Lin Yu… please don’t hurt Yiwei or Maomao. I’ll… do anything you want…"

Lin Yu: "!!!"

The martial arts school director must have watched too many movies!

How could she say something like that so easily?

Little did she know…

What kind of thoughts would those words spark in Lin Yu’s mind?

Truly, the eldest sister of the Xia family!

Sacrificing herself to protect her younger sister.

With such noble resolve… perhaps…

Lin Yu’s restless hands grew even bolder.

He could clearly see—

Xia Xiashan’s face turned to the side, eyes tightly shut in anguish.

Her arms hung limp at her sides.

Lin Yu: "!!!"

The springy, QQ candy-like resilience nearly startled him.

This was… unreal.

He’d never felt anything like it before!

Just for this sensation alone, he had to recruit the director into his circle.

A talent like this was essential for his grand ambitions!

"Relax, it’s just the two of us here."

"As long as you cooperate, I promise your family stays safe."

To prevent any unexpected resistance, Lin Yu added a few reassuring words.

Just a little extra incentive to keep her compliant.

"Not in the dojo… at least spare me that humiliation…"

Xia Xiashan voiced her only request.

Even while surrendering herself to "save" her family, she clung to a shred of dignity.

Lin Yu willed the dreamscape to shift.

"The lounge. That’s my final concession."

"Push me further, and all bets are off."

When Xia Xiashan opened her eyes again…

They were inside the dojo’s lounge.

Her hands braced against a long bench, facing a blank white wall.

And Lin Yu stood directly behind her.

There was no escape.

No way out…

She couldn’t fight him.

Her family’s safety was at stake.

Maybe…

Giving in was the only way to protect everyone.

Ever since he’d flicked her aside with a single finger…

Her two decades of pride had already shattered.

Now, it was just rubble being crushed under bulldozers.

What difference did it make?

As for Lin Yu—no one was more exhilarated in this moment!

He’d attempted this countless times in dreams before.

But no matter how emotionally charged the scenario…

Something always interfered at the critical moment.

His encounter with Maomao had been one of the rare successes.

And today…

The elusive opportunity had finally arrived.

Who would’ve thought?

On his first invasion of the director’s dreams, he’d stumble upon this golden chance!

Lin Yu gripped the waistband of her martial arts pants…

And tugged them down with a gentle pull.

A blinding, pristine white—untouched by any impurity—exploded into view.

Lin Yu: "!!!"

Was this the dream’s enhancement of Xia Xiashan’s form?

Or did she truly possess the unreal proportions of a manga heroine in real life?

One glance was all it took—

Resistance was impossible.

"Buzz… buzz…"

"Buzz… buzz…"

"..."

Damn it!

No way—now of all times?!

She’d withstood every provocation so far…

Only for the dream to destabilize the moment he glimpsed the prize?

All talk, no action?

"BAM!"

The lounge door burst open.

Leading the charge was nurse Xia Yiwei, with Maomao close behind.

The dojo’s instructors flooded in after them.

Xia Xiashan desperately covered herself, staring at the crowd in horror.

Lin Yu muttered under his breath:

"Of course… that’s why."

……

Back in the real dojo lounge…

Xia Xiashan—wrapped in a blanket on a foldable bed—rolled straight onto the floor.

The first thing she did upon waking was tighten the blanket around her waist.

Then she blurted out to the empty room:

"No! It’s not what you think! Lin Yu was the one who—"

Halfway through her shout…

She noticed the pitch-black darkness.

Memories of falling asleep alone slowly returned.

It… was just a dream.

Xia Xiashan climbed to her feet and flicked on the lights.

Peering through the one-way window, she scanned the empty dojo.

Only after confirming she was truly alone did she exhale in relief.

Rubbing her temples, she replayed the dream’s events in disbelief.

She’d actually considered… letting Lin Yu…

With a heavy sigh, she grabbed her phone.

Scrolling through WeChat, she found Teacher Chen’s contact.

[Xia Xiashan: Teacher Chen, I didn’t believe you before, but now I’m starting to.]

[Xia Xiashan: I think I really have yips. And it’s bad. Any treatment suggestions?]

[Xia Xiashan: I’ll visit your clinic tomorrow to discuss in person.]
