Lin Yu was left speechless on the spot.
Was she really getting into a rhythm now?
Her brain couldn't handle a sudden turn, it couldn't even handle a regular turn—what rhythm could there possibly be?
Seeing Shen Buyao's stubborn look, Lin Yu decided not to get further involved.
Saying more
would just make it seem like he had the problem.
Better to let her figure it out on her own.
"Alright, alright, alright, keep being your rhythm master then."
"Buyao, I'll wait for you outside. Come out and meet up soon!"
"If you can't hold on, you can call for help anytime."
Shen Buyao said disdainfully:
"Just relax a thousand times over. I'll definitely be the second one out, right after you!"
"Waiting for me to call for help? Don't get your hopes up!"
"You'd be better off using that time to see if the other two need any help."
"Go on, get out of here..."
As she spoke,
Shen Buyao started pushing Lin Yu, urging him to leave quickly.
Did Lin Yu even need urging?
The trickiest one had been saved by him for last.
The reason Xiang Tiange was considered tricky was because they had too little contact in real life.
There was always a gap between the dream world and reality.
He couldn't completely substitute her dream personality into reality.
From Little Chi, Lin Yu had already learned
that she and Xiang Tiange were going to hang out near the school later.
They'd most likely have dinner together.
So...
what about the late-night snack tonight?
Was it canceled, or was she planning to invite Little Chi along?
This kind of question could only be asked now.
Once everyone was together later, Lin Yu wouldn't have a chance to clarify.
"Tiange, thank you for being willing to help me out."
"How are you doing over here? How many items are left? Let me help you look."
Lin Yu approached, changing his tone from when he spoke with the other two girls, his words warm and considerate.
Xiang Tiange turned around, a delighted smile on her face.
Holding up the White Rabbit milk candy in her hand, she said:
"Only about five or six items left, I'll be done soon."
"Wow, the feeling of buying snacks like crazy is so exhilarating!"
"I've never indulged in such impulsive shopping in all my life!"
Judging by Xiang Tiange's expression, it wasn't hard to see she was genuinely enjoying herself.
With only five or six items left out of over a dozen things needed, she really didn't need Lin Yu's help.
At this moment,
Lin Yu once again recalled Shen Buyao from earlier...
Look at her, then look at Buyao!
Sigh.
Forget it, forget it.
Can't look at the "pretty flowers" outside and start to dislike the "faithful wife" at home.
Stubborn people have their merits.
Stubborn people can at least handle... big things!
"Haha, it's hardly impulsive shopping, don't misunderstand me."
"I don't usually shop like this either, it's completely because of the circumstances."
Lin Yu followed Xiang Tiange's lead, quickly explaining.
With such an approachable and sunny girl, he couldn't let her think he was a guy who spent money recklessly.
The power of money, in front of clever girls, could sometimes be a charm, but other times it could create distance.
How much Little Chi had explained to Xiang Tiange about why he needed to buy so many things for the birthday, Lin Yu didn't know.
But at the very least, from his own mouth, he couldn't assume Little Chi had explained everything clearly.
Xiang Tiange placed the White Rabbit candy into the shopping cart, saying:
"I know, I know, there are a lot of people in the apartment you're renting together, that's why you need to buy so much."
"You two have hidden it well enough, actually living under the same roof."
"And you still say you two don't have feelings for each other?"
Lin Yu nodded thoughtfully, not finding Xiang Tiange's words difficult to answer.
In front of fellow university students, Little Chi would go to great lengths to cover up the truth of them living together.
Yet with Xiang Tiange, she revealed it so easily?
On one hand, Xiang Tiange wasn't from Pingchuan University, so even if she knew, it wasn't a big deal.
On the other hand, Little Chi must have immense trust in Xiang Tiange.
Otherwise, why would she share such a private secret?
Therefore,
Lin Yu spoke with full confidence:
"Don't tease me about Little Chi, she must have told you too, we really are just classmates."
"There are several beauties in our apartment, Sister Buyao from earlier is one of them."
"Maybe I'm just naturally insulated from the opposite sex. Everyone sees me as a younger brother, a friend."
"Living in a crowd of women makes it hard to find a girlfriend out there, you know?"
[Ding!]
[Heavenly Show Operation: The Holy Son's honest act greatly pleases the Heart-Mending Sect's Rainbow Dress Envoy!]
[Reward: 20 Spirit Stones]
Hearing the system prompt, Lin Yu felt even more assured.
It seemed the direction of the conversation was indeed correct.
Xiang Tiange liked hearing this type of talk!
Little Chi's techniques for clarifying their relationship in front of her were surely even stronger than his.
Everything was within Lin Yu's calculations...
Immediately after,
Xiang Tiange proactively brought up what Lin Yu was concerned about:
"Oh, right, that... we had a late-night snack planned for tonight, didn't we?"
"Yesterday, I didn't know your birthday was tomorrow, so I thought we could grab a bite if we had time."
"If you think the timing isn't right, we can postpone it."
"And also... Little Chi doesn't know about this, you'd better not let it slip, okay?"
Lin Yu blinked, completely understanding Xiang Tiange's thoughts.
Her words were polite, but in her heart, she definitely didn't want to just drop it.
Otherwise,
why would she proactively mention that she hadn't told Little Chi?
"You didn't know my birthday is tomorrow, but I did."
"If I thought the timing was bad, wouldn't I have refused already?"
"Do I look like someone who doesn't know how to say no?"
[Ding!]
[Heavenly Show Operation: The Holy Son's heartwarming and deeply meaningful words make the Heart-Mending Sect's Rainbow Dress Envoy utterly smitten!]
[Reward: 20 Spirit Stones]
Listening to Lin Yu's words, Xiang Tiange's heart truly blossomed with joy.
What 'insulated from the opposite sex'?
Wasn't he quite good at conversation?
She knew he didn't seem like the type to casually stand someone up!
"If you have no problem, I definitely have no problem either."
"After having dinner with Little Chi, I'll wander around near your school some more and find a place to wait for you."
"Don't misunderstand, the only reason I'm not telling Little Chi is to avoid her overthinking, nothing else."

(A progress report: The first review was sent back, same as last time, with many chapters and paragraphs flagged that weren't flagged before—it's terrifying. The sections needing revision after being sent back are even more numerous than yesterday. The violation reasons are: directly involving sex, implicitly involving sex, stream-of-consciousness involving sex. Many places might just be a casual remark, like mentioning "crushed ice" in a normal scene, and large sections get flagged for revision. It's hard to list which characters or plots are involved anymore, it's pretty much the entire text. I'll try not to delete the whole thing and give it a few more tries. Hope you understand.)

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
