Lin Yu was just immersing himself in the role and casually speaking his mind.
How did he end up making his senior cry?
Looking at Senior Tang Yimian’s tear-streaked face…
It didn’t seem like she was acting—it felt all too real!
If such an impression lingered in her subconscious, it would inevitably spill over into reality.
Lin Yu’s intention wasn’t to belittle Tang Yimian, so he couldn’t just let this happen!
At this point,
who cared about acting lessons anymore?
Lin Yu quickly steadied Tang Yimian by her shoulders and hurriedly explained:
“Teacher? No, no… Senior!”
“I was just caught up in the role and said whatever came to mind.”
“Why are you crying? That’s not what I meant…”
His words only made things worse.
The moment Lin Yu spoke, Tang Yimian’s tears flowed even faster.
So she definitely wasn’t acting…
But wasn’t this supposed to be an acting exercise?
Senior was really bending the rules here.
He swiftly reached into the air, as if plucking a pack of tissues from thin space,
then pulled out two sheets to gently wipe her tears.
Lin Yu: “Senior, stop crying first, listen to me—”
Before he could finish, Tang Yimian launched into her “Pangu-Splitting-Heaven-and-Earth” monologue!
“Wuwuwu… Junior Lin Yu, I know you think I’m old, and I know I’m older than you.”
“There are so many younger girls in the apartment, and now there’s even a cat-girl sister—compared to them, I really am older.”
“But my mom always says I look like I’m eighteen, and I… I actually believed her.”
“Now that I think about it, she must’ve been lying to me. She used to trick me with banlangen tea, saying it was cola flavored like bayberries.”
“……”
Lin Yu: “……”
This was it.
He was stuck in a dream listening to a tragic backstory!
Judging by Senior’s momentum, she wouldn’t stop for at least half an hour!
He had to think of a way to cut this short.
Sure, the system had optimized the duration of the four dream sequences—
even spending a year in one dream wouldn’t delay the others.
But…
This was torture!
The first time hearing the “Pangu” speech was kinda cute.
The second time, his mind started to wander.
By the third or fourth time… it was pure psychological torment!
Senior spoke fast, her words dense and relentless,
without even leaving a proper pause for breath.
Lin Yu couldn’t find a single opening to interrupt and explain himself.
And since he’d already upset her with his earlier slip-up,
the only option now was to let her vent.
About half an hour later…
“Lately, I’ve been reading a lot of beauty posts online, learning how to fight early aging.”
“After a girl turns twenty-four, her skin changes a lot compared to her first two decades.”
“……”
Lin Yu: “……”
Had it really been half an hour? He couldn’t tell.
To him, it felt like half a year had passed.
At this rate, how much longer would she go on?
Enough!
If there was no opening to speak, he’d make one himself!
Without hesitation, Lin Yu grabbed Tang Yimian’s hand.
Tang Yimian froze, stunned into silence.
She even forgot what she’d been about to say,
her mind fixated on one thought…
Junior Lin Yu is holding my hand so tightly!
Lin Yu guided her hand to rest over his heart.
“Yimian, look into my eyes.”
“Have I ever lied to you in all this time we’ve known each other?”
Tang Yimian met his earnest gaze and slowly shook her head.
It was true.
Lin Yu had never deceived her.
He’d even helped her often with her novel writing.
Without him, she’d still be an insecure amateur writer.
And also…
His heartbeat was so strong!
Thump-thump~
She could feel it vividly.
Lin Yu pressed on:
“See? I’ve never lied to you.”
“So you have to believe me now.”
“Earlier, I was just too into the acting exercise, trying to play a bad student.”
“But I messed up and made you think I was hurting you.”
“The rules said it only stops when the ‘stop word’ is said, right?”
“Before that, everything’s just pretend!”
Surely such a sincere explanation would convince her?
At the very least,
it should get her to stop her endless emotional outpouring.
But to his shock,
Tang Yimian blinked at him in confusion:
“But Junior Lin Yu… didn’t you just say… ‘hehe’?”
Lin Yu: “???”
Hehe?!
The stop word was “hehe”?!
What kind of weird, cold joke was that?!
If certain niche communities found out, they’d laugh themselves silly!
He really should’ve clarified the rules beforehand.
No wonder Tang Yimian had reacted so strongly.
She genuinely thought everything he’d said afterward was real!
Lin Yu feigned frustration, smacking his forehead:
“Ah, my terrible memory!”
“I got so into it that I forgot the safeword—er, the stop word.”
“My bad. If you’re still upset, hit me with your pointer a couple of times.”
“Yimian, go ahead—I’m tough, I can take it!”
With that,
he picked up the pointer and placed it in her hand,
then closed his eyes, bracing for impact.
Lin Yu knew Tang Yimian’s personality well.
Even if he stood there asking for it, she’d never actually strike him.
Or so he thought—
Whack!
Lin Yu: “!!!”
Gah!
A sharp pain shot through his back.
Lin Yu stared at Tang Yimian in disbelief.
What the—
Seriously, sis?!
You actually hit me?!
Tang Yimian wiped away her tears, her expression cool and composed again:
“Let’s forget that little incident, Lin Yu.”
“When did I say you could stop writing?”
“Don’t you know that in the classroom, the teacher’s word is law?”
Lin Yu: “……”
Here we go again! Is there no end to this?!
This time, she didn’t even bother with a warning—just straight to the pointer!
Fine, fine.
Dream debts will be repaid in reality.
For now, he’d endure it in the dream.
Let’s see what else Senior had up her sleeve.
…
