"Yan Miaozhu: You didn't reply to my messages at all yesterday, I really thought you were so scared that you decided to ignore me. I was quite sad for a while."
"Yan Miaozhu: But, seeing your message this morning, all my sadness is gone!"
"Yan Miaozhu: Ah, I regret it so much, I actually did such an impulsive thing yesterday (sobbing)"
Lin Yu read the WeChat messages in the taxi.
He genuinely admired Teacher Yan Miaozhu's perseverance!
After such a major incident yesterday, she could still smooth things over and chat with him so coherently?
Teacher Yan was truly someone who had seen the world, her mindset was absolutely unbeatable.
However, Lin Yu understood clearly in his heart.
Despite her light-hearted, casual, and cheerful tone on WeChat,
she must hate Lin Yu to the core.
Yesterday, the interruption by counselor Miao Haixin led Lin Yu to leave Yan Miaozhu alone in that small motel.
Before he left, Yan Miaozhu had even boldly tried to get him to stay.
Yet, she still failed to keep a man determined to leave.
Such a humiliating insult, how could she possibly accept it calmly?
Who knows how many schemes she's been concocting in her mind, plotting her personal revenge!
Lin Yu casually replied a few words, putting her on the back burner for now.
Let Yan Miaozhu see the opportunity but not grasp it, unable to let go.
Let her experience firsthand what it feels like to be strung along and played with.
The person Lin Yu really wanted to chat with was Aunt Qimeng, who had sent him a "love menu"!
For tomorrow's birthday dinner, Aunt Qimeng had gone all out with preparations.
She seemed even more invested than Lin Yu.
She had privately surveyed what dishes the girls in the apartment could make.
Compiled them on a piece of paper, took a photo, and sent it to Lin Yu.
With such a packed menu, they certainly couldn't cook everything.
The power of choice naturally fell upon Lin Yu, the birthday boy.
The paper also noted the names of the contributors for each dish.
He wasn't surprised by the names of those who frequently cooked.
Chi Qingchi, Shen Buyao, Mo Shangying?
Their three names appearing on the menu made Lin Yu especially cautious.
Whether it tastes good is secondary; the key is whether it's edible!
His body is sturdy and resilient, he could probably withstand some organic toxins.
But he absolutely must not harm the others!
Besides those not usually seen in the kitchen.
Du Ruxue, Huang Feirong, Fang Xinran, Shen Jiuyi?
Their four names were actually on there too?
This truly caught Lin Yu off guard.
Lin Yu knew that even if he didn't choose and left it to Aunt Qimeng to arrange,
she would still insist on sending messages, demanding he make the choice.
To avoid unnecessary back-and-forth,
Lin Yu made his selections openly and generously—after all, the birthday boy's word is law!
...
Getting out of the taxi,
Lin Yu walked into the supermarket near his home.
His invited "provisions officer," classmate Chi Qingchi, had already sent her location and was waiting for him inside.
When it comes to buying snacks, who could be more of an authority than classmate Chi Qingchi?
Others might find it tiresome, reluctantly agreeing to help just to avoid turning Lin Yu down.
But inviting Xiao Chi came with no psychological pressure at all.
Even through the "hehehe" and "hahaha" peppered in her WeChat messages,
you could feel her genuine excitement about being invited!
However, when Lin Yu arrived at the designated "meeting point," a slight unexpected situation arose...
Chi Qingchi, wearing a purple little sister-style dress with her hands behind her back,
bounced over to Lin Yu's side.
"Xiao Lin, why are you so late? We've been here for over ten minutes!"
Lin Yu stared blankly at the two people in front of him: "..."
Shen Buyao? Xiang Tiange?
What kind of strange combination is this?!
Xiao Chi, oh Xiao Chi!
You're hiding it really well.
Before arriving on the scene, Lin Yu had absolutely no idea.
He was completely certain that Xiao Chi had done this on purpose!
Noticing Lin Yu's expression, Shen Buyao stepped closer and said:
"Hey, damn Lin Yu, what's with that look?"
"Do you look disappointed that two more people came to help you?"
Xiang Tiange wasn't as fierce as Shen Buyao.
She stood to the side, smiling and waving a greeting at Lin Yu.
Lin Yu waved back, trying his best to keep his expression natural.
Without some mental fortitude, he really wouldn't be able to hold it together!
This antique sister's fierce mouth was completely in an uncontrolled state.
Today, her "limiter," Shen Jiuyi, wasn't present.
Wouldn't she think she's the greatest under heaven? It's hard to imagine how she'd act normally.
And then there's Xiang Tiange beside her.
Just last night, Lin Yu had made plans with her to have a late-night snack alone today.
He had already planned where to go and what to eat.
And now she shows up?
And in front of two fellow apartment mates!
This isn't a dream coming true; it's a nightmare descending upon the world!
What's done is done.
The only thing to do now is try to speed up the shopping to avoid them spending too much time together outside.
"Sister Yao Yao, what are you talking about?"
"Of course I'm overjoyed that you all came to help me."
"It's just... how did you end up with Xiao Chi?"
Lin Yu asked suspiciously.
Xiang Tiange was somewhat easier to understand.
At least she and Xiao Chi had a frenemy relationship.
Ever since the comic convention a couple of days ago, they had planned to get a meal together.
Maybe they had time today, so they arranged to meet up.
But as for Antique Sister?
She was completely outside Lin Yu's expectations!
Usually in the apartment,
he almost never saw her and Xiao Chi hanging out together.
Apart from group meals, they didn't seem to have much interaction?
Xiao Chi immediately stepped forward to explain:
"Xiao Lin, should I explain?"
Lin Yu looked at Chi Qingchi with a helpless expression.
Wasn't that obvious?
If she didn't explain, could the other two, who don't know each other, possibly explain?
Lin Yu had been waiting for Xiao Chi to speak up.
He had to prompt her before she knew to talk!
"This is how it happened..."
"The tripod and audio/lighting equipment for our group arrived, right!"
"Since my sister needs to stay home today revising the script, I went on behalf of our group to pick them up."
"Ehehehe, Gege happened to have nothing to do today, so she came to the university to hang out with me."
"I was about to call a taxi, but when I went downstairs, I ran into Sister Yao Yao who had just gotten up."
"Sister Yao Yao heard we needed a car to transport the equipment. She's really nice and offered to help us out."
"It's just, there was a little hiccup..."

(Summarizing the edited/removed parts so everyone can understand. Friends reading this later will also know why some earlier parts might seem off:)
(1. The part about Teacher Tang's novel writing lessons; this section will see significant changes;)
(2. The part about going to Antique Sister's old family house for some "hmph"; basically all of it got flagged, probably won't be able to keep much;)
(3. Several dream-entry sequences, involving many dreams, won't list them all;)
(4. Ying'er's Thursday; not much will be left either;)
(5, Recently written, the sibling role-play between the cat and Lin Yu in a dream. Tsk, I don't really understand this part. The later section about not talking to strangers was marked up, which I can understand. Sibling role-play? Siblings! Alright then, I don't get it, but I respect it.)
(6, Some system-rewarded cultivation techniques and items. As you might have noticed earlier, the Nine Cauldrons Technique is already gone, and I don't dare write about it anymore. As for the items and other skills, I'll try to preserve as many as possible.)
