Facing a straightforward and bold girl, honesty is the most important standard of treatment.
Of course.
But not every truth can be spoken casually.
Lin Yu looked at Xiang Tiange in surprise and said:
"Is this considered flirting? I just think that when it comes to a girl I like, I should be more sincere and respectful."
"I’m not like this with just anyone, sigh..."
"Seems like I should’ve eaten after all. I overthought it."
With that, Lin Yu picked up the spoon from the bag in a huff, scooped a large spoonful, and ate it with exaggerated enthusiasm.
[Ding!]
[Brilliant move! The Saint’s firm response in the face of doubt has greatly impressed the Joyous Sect’s Rainbow Robe Envoy!]
[Reward: 20 Spirit Stones.]
Lin Yu secretly gloated.
As expected.
A necessary display of "deep affection" is still required.
Young girls really fall for this kind of thing.
Showing a little bit of temper only makes the other person think you "care."
Xiang Tiange watched Lin Yu devouring his meal and scooted closer:
"Such a grump! It was just a joke, no need to take it so seriously."
"Fried rice is best eaten hot—clearly, you don’t know how to enjoy food..."
As she spoke, she reached out with her spoon and scooped a bite from Lin Yu’s box—exactly where he had just taken his.
Under Lin Yu’s gaze, she ate it cheerfully:
"Don’t think so poorly of me. I’m not that kind of person!"
Her "ge-ge-ge" laughter didn’t disappoint Lin Yu.
In ambiguous relationships, what’s the need for explanations?
Actions always speak louder than words.
As Lin Yu kept staring at her, Xiang Tiange’s cheeks gradually grew warm.
Her outgoing nature was real, but so was her nervousness.
She was cheerful, not shameless.
Acting on impulse, she had just proven she didn’t mind sharing food with Lin Yu.
But now, thinking back...
Would he think she was too easy?
"Why aren’t you eating? If I finish it all, you’ll go hungry tonight!" Xiang Tiange reminded him again.
Lin Yu smiled and replied:
"Oh, I just realized—aside from being pretty, you’re also kinda cute."
"Eating! I’m eating now!"
In the empty dance classroom, the two shared a warm moment over fried rice.
Even among the many dreams Lin Yu had visited, this was an unusually sweet scene.
As they ate, the distance between them gradually shrank.
When they started chatting after the meal, Lin Yu slowly moved his fingers, lightly brushing against Xiang Tiange’s hand resting on the floor.
Xiang Tiange’s body tensed visibly, her hand trembling slightly.
She deliberately avoided looking at Lin Yu, but she didn’t pull her hand away.
Instead, she kept it there, letting Lin Yu’s hand inch closer until they were fully touching.
[Ding!]
[Brilliant move! The Saint’s bold advance has left the Joyous Sect’s Rainbow Robe Envoy utterly enchanted!]
[Reward: 50 Spirit Stones.]
In situations like this, of course, the guy needs to take the lead.
After a meal, isn’t it time to talk about serious matters?
"Tiange, are we dating now?"
Xiang Tiange’s eyes widened: "???"
"C-can we call it that?"
"That’d be way too easy on you!"
Judging by her reaction, he thought she was completely smitten.
Who knew?
At the critical moment, she could still stay sharp.
Seems she wasn’t so easy to win over after all!
But Lin Yu was patient.
Putting in more effort in dreams might just make reality smoother.
"I’ve never been in a relationship either, so... what comes next?"
The act of playing dumb was now in full swing.
Xiang Tiange was stumped.
Stammering, she replied:
"I-I don’t have experience either! It’s not like I’m some expert."
"At the very least, shouldn’t there be a confession and an answer?"
Seizing the moment, Lin Yu tightly grasped her hand—before she could react—and leaned in, giving her a quick, light peck on the lips.
Xiang Tiange’s mind went blank: "!!!"
A kiss?
They’d kissed already?
Lin Yu ambushed her!
No time to react—it was over in a flash!
Lin Yu: "Tiange, does a kiss count as a confession?"
Xiang Tiange: "..."
He was doing this on purpose!
This guy was absolutely trying to force the issue.
[Ding!]
[Brilliant move! The Saint’s daring declaration of love has the Joyous Sect’s Rainbow Robe Envoy utterly captivated!]
[Reward: 50 Spirit Stones.]
No need for extra hints or words.
The system’s notification was the ultimate authority!
With momentum on his side, it was time to press the advantage.
Lin Yu gently pulled Xiang Tiange into his arms and kissed her again—this time, not a fleeting touch, but a long, lingering one.
She hadn’t stopped him the first time.
Now...
She had even less reason to resist.
Xiang Tiange’s hands fluttered awkwardly in the air for a moment.
As her breathing and heartbeat raced, she finally wrapped her arms around Lin Yu.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
"..."
Almost the instant they embraced, an intense buzzing sound erupted, impossible to ignore.
Hearing the familiar noise, Lin Yu knew exactly what it meant.
This surge was coming too fast—no stopping it now.
Rather than waste time trying to stabilize the situation, he might as well leave a deeper impression on Xiang Tiange and keep kissing her.
......
4:00 AM.
Xiang Tiange’s bedroom.
Hugging a plush goose in her sleep, she suddenly jolted awake.
Her mind blank for a few seconds, she finally realized where she was.
This was her home—not some dance classroom!
Letting go of the plush goose, she sat up and quickly turned on the bedside lamp.
After scanning the room to confirm she was indeed at home, she exhaled deeply, cupped her flushed cheeks, and leaned back against the headboard.
"Xiang Tiange, what on earth were you thinking?"
"How could you have such a dream?!"
"Must be from watching too many romance anime lately..."
"No more anime! No more!!"
Muttering to herself, she then reconsidered the dream’s scenes.
If Lin Yu really were pursuing her...
Would she reject him?
That guy... isn’t so bad, is he?
......
Lin Yu’s apartment, his bedroom.
The sweet dream had brought him closer to Xiang Tiange.
But waking up didn’t leave him floating on cloud nine.
Having experienced so many grand scenes, how could he get carried away over something as small as a kiss?
Lin Yu drifted back to sleep.
The scenery around him shifted rapidly.
By the time his consciousness sharpened again, he found himself deep in the mountains.
Mountains... summer school!
Counselor Miao Haixin’s dream!
So Aunt Ru Xue still wasn’t asleep—pulling an all-nighter?
Fine.
Time to see what kind of "heart-fluttering moment" the counselor’s dream held.
Just as he was pondering this, Lin Yu suddenly felt a breeze below.
Lin Yu: "???"
Why were his belt and shorts undone?
Holy—!
Looking down, his vision refocused.
A familiar figure crouched before him...
"Little Yu, let big sister help you out, okay?"
Green Snake Woman... Teacher Yan Miaozhu!
Just whose dream was this anyway?!
......

d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions.

And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!

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."
