Lin Yu: "!!!"
Hearing this,
Lin Yu immediately circled around Chi Qingchi and Xiang Tiange once.
No need to say more.
What the little 'interlude' was, Lin Yu knew all too well.
What two bold girls!
They dared to get in Antique Sister's car?
Think life is too smooth, is that it?
Just had to go looking for some thrills!
Shen Buyao, standing to the side, remained silent: "..."
This time, she really wasn't doing it on purpose.
It wasn't a case of knowing full well she was dangerous yet forcing the two girls to ride with her.
Rather, after her time with Lin Yu...
she felt her own personal fate, her life's fortune, had a kind of... unlocked feeling.
Last time she brought Shen Jiuyi to the apartment, wasn't the journey perfectly smooth as well?
Therefore.
When she heard it was Lin Yu's group's equipment that needed to be brought back, Shen Buyao volunteered to step up.
On the return trip to the apartment, just after starting out, she bumped into a small car.
Don't just see the collision.
Shen Buyao wasn't annoyed at all, even feeling a bit excited deep down.
Because Chi Qingchi and Xiang Tiange weren't injured in the slightest, nor were they frightened.
This traffic accident was the one with the smallest property damage among her many traffic accidents!
It further confirmed the guess in Shen Buyao's heart...
Lin Yu really was, imperceptibly, changing her streak of bad luck.
Maybe because they've spent little time together, and few times at that, the improvement isn't complete yet?
Well, at least that's what Shen Buyao thought to herself.
And she secretly calculated that she needed to quickly increase the dosage to properly cure her own ailment.
After Lin Yu finished checking and confirmed the two girls were completely unharmed, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Chi Qingchi looked at Lin Yu suspiciously and asked:
"Huh? Xiao Lin!"
"Did you contact Yaoyao-jie and know she had an accident?"
Faced with Xiao Chi's questioning, Lin Yu didn't refute it, nor did he personally attack Shen Buyao.
He just chose a tricky angle to reply:
"I didn't know she had an accident with the two of you!"
Neither admitting he knew in advance, nor directly addressing the core concern of the question.
Xiang Tiange chimed in:
"Actually, it can't really be considered an 'accident,' just a minor scrape."
"The car's already been taken to the repair shop by the insurance people."
"We only found out you asked Xiao Chi for help after we finished dealing with the incident."
"Just tagging along to join the fun, hope we're not disturbing you?"
Lin Yu waved his hands repeatedly, saying:
"We're all friends, of course not."
"Having three great beauties help me is my good fortune."
"Let's go in. There's quite a lot to buy today."
"If I'd known I had so many helpers, I should have made a complete list in advance, and we could have split up to find things."
Shen Buyao took out her phone and said frankly:
"Isn't that simple? We'll just create a group chat!"
"Stinky Lin Yu, you send everything you need to buy into the group."
"After we go in, we'll split up to buy. As for the money..."
"Of course you're paying. Pay us in advance, okay? We ordinary folks don't have money to front for you!"
The method Shen Buyao proposed was actually a pretty good one.
And splitting up to act, settling payments in batches, also avoided the trouble of being too concentrated.
In the apartment,
the person who dared to squeeze money out of Lin Yu without any pressure was probably only Shen Buyao.
Because only she knew exactly how rich Lin Yu was!
And he was earning her family's money!
What seemed like an offhand tease actually made Lin Yu feel very comfortable inside.
She cleverly used a joking way to dispel the awkwardness of a college student having no money in his pocket.
The things Lin Yu needed to buy really weren't few, and with the average college student's level of pocket money, it might not be enough to cover it.
Not bad, Antique Sister, still knows how to consider a girl's feelings.
At the same time,
Lin Yu's feelings were also, imperceptibly, taken care of.
Splitting the girls up to act separately, reducing some unnecessary interactions among them, was absolutely a great thing.
Lin Yu couldn't help but give a thumbs up, saying:
"Yaoyao-jie, that's a really good idea."
"I'll create the group now and post the things to buy."
Shen Buyao: "Perfect!"
Chi Qingchi: "Okay, okay, can I be in charge of the cookies and chips section?"
Xiang Tiange: "I'm not picky, anywhere is fine. Wishing Student Lin a happy life in advance!"
...
Inside the supermarket.
In less than five minutes, Lin Yu had assigned each person their shopping area.
Actually, the things everyone needed to buy were more or less all in the snack section.
It was just by subdividing the types and quantities of snacks that they barely managed to separate everyone's activity areas.
As for Lin Yu himself, he assigned himself the most bulky section: the drinks area.
Couldn't very well leave the physical labor to the girls.
Compared to them needing to search around, Lin Yu's workload wasn't much.
He just needed to grab some of each major category of drinks and put them on the shopping cart.
He almost finished the entire task within two minutes.
Lin Yu didn't push the cart out to check out, but instead left it temporarily where it was.
He then went to the different areas to start looking for the girls.
Speaking of which,
special thanks were due to the on-site snack arrangement.
It completely separated the three girls; they wouldn't see each other at all before finishing their shopping.
This made it convenient for Lin Yu to nurture relationships on multiple threads.
"Xiao Chi, you little traitor!"
"I called you out to help me, and with someone by your side, such an important matter, you didn't know to report it in advance?"
"Do you want to say a permanent goodbye to the snacks on my room's snack shelf?"
Lin Yu first went to Chi Qingchi's side and gave her a small reprimand.
It wasn't that this was some unbearably awkward situation.
But if she'd just said something in advance, he could have at least been mentally prepared!
So a little threat was necessary, to give Xiao Chi a sense of impending crisis.
To others, his words might carry less weight than a coin.
But aimed at Xiao Chi?
They were absolutely paramount!
Before Lin Yu could voice the further threats he had in mind, Xiao Chi let go of the shopping cart.
She grabbed Lin Yu's arm tightly with both hands:
"Don't... don't be like that, Xiao Lin! That's not fair!"
As she spoke, she twisted and turned, shaking her body.
Where was the slightest trace of that shrewd little homebody girl now?
Her eyes held no shrewdness at all, only a craving for snacks.
"Keep your voice down, stop twisting. If someone sees, won't they misunderstand our relationship?"
Lin Yu righteously and honorably lightly brushed the back of Xiao Chi's hand, pushing it off his arm.
Her hand was pushed off his arm.
But then it turned and grabbed the hem of his shirt.
"Does our relationship need to be misunderstood?"
"Isn't our relationship already very good?"
...

transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out.
