The Hangover Cure Senior, Wait for Me in the Room

Around four o'clock in the afternoon.

Lin Yu took a taxi with Shen Buyao back to the apartment.

Chi Qingchi and Xiang Tiange did not come back with them.

The two girls went to continue hanging out near the school.

Right before parting ways, Xiao Chi had specifically asked Lin Yu a favor.

If they were to snack on some of the bought treats early in the evening, could he please save some of this, that, and the other thing for her.

Having worked together for so long, how could Lin Yu be inconsiderate?

He generously agreed right away, saying he would deliver the items she mentioned to her room.

Xiao Chi initially wanted to refuse, worried her sister would scold her.

But when Lin Yu said it was a "thank-you gift" for her help, Xiao Chi thought it over and agreed.

If it's payment for work...

It seems even her sister couldn't say anything about it!

At the entrance to the apartment building.

Chi Qingshui and Tang Yimian, who were still at the apartment, immediately came out to help.

They helped carry the things they had bought from the supermarket.

"Lin Yu, Sister Yaoyao, you actually bought this much?"

"Even for tomorrow's birthday party... we couldn't possibly eat this much, could we?"

Chi Qingshui said in shock, seeing the boxes and bags being unloaded from the taxi.

"This is only part of it, there will be even more at the venue tomorrow."

"There are many of us, so naturally we need more food."

"Student Chi, I'll trouble you then, shall we start carrying?"

Lin Yu said with a smile.

He chose a lighter bag and handed it to Chi Qingshui.

Seeing Lin Yu's mischievous grin, Chi Qingshui avoided looking at him for too long, afraid she wouldn't be able to hold back a laugh.

And so.

After taking the bag, she quickly made a trip first.

Shen Buyao was the same; arriving on the scene, she started carrying things without a word.

A real doer!

Tang Yimian was equally surprised but didn't speak up.

Instead, she looked at Lin Yu with a meaningful gaze.

Last night, after drinking too much, she had stayed and slept at Fang Xinran's place.

After completely sobering up this morning, she vaguely recalled some scenes.

Specifically, the scene of Lin Yu carrying her upstairs!

She seemed to have said some particularly embarrassing things...

But she had drunk too much at the time, her mind wasn't working clearly.

She was even less able to tell whether it was reality or a dream.

For most of the day today, she had been agonizing over whether to send Lin Yu a message and ask about yesterday's events.

But just thinking about what to ask, coupled with the influence of that peculiar dream,

Tang Yimian ultimately couldn't bring herself to speak up, stubbornly keeping the words bottled up inside.

Upon seeing Lin Yu again.

All those bottled-up matters came bubbling back to the surface.

Making Tang Yimian feel too "guilty" to look Lin Yu directly in the eye.

Such an obvious display.

How could it possibly escape Lin Yu's notice?

In the dream, he had been thoroughly lectured by this senior!

He had been waiting all day for when he would run into her again!

Although in the cat's dream, Lin Yu had managed to get a little payback.

But in matters like this, isn't getting back at the person themselves much more satisfying?

"Senior, could you help me carry these two?"

"These two bags need to go to my room, the rest can be left on the first floor."

Lin Yu immediately assigned tasks to Tang Yimian, picking the most suitable job for her.

Tang Yimian had come to help in the first place.

Hearing there was something for her to do, she naturally obediently took them:

"No problem, leave it to me, I'll go up right now."

"But Junior Yu, your... room key?"

Lin Yu openly took out his room key and handed it to Tang Yimian.

[Ding!]

[A masterful move. The Saint's unconditional trust in his Dao Companion warms her heart immensely!]

[Reward: 50 Spirit Stones.]

Taking Lin Yu's room key, Tang Yimian couldn't help but feel a warmth in her heart.

Such a private personal item, given directly to her.

And he didn't mind her going into his room when no one else was around.

It showed that...

Junior Yu's trust in her...

Far exceeded that for an ordinary friend!

How could something like this not make one happy?

"Alright, I'll take them up now."

Tang Yimian said gently, turning to leave.

Before she had taken two steps, Lin Yu, taking advantage of the other two girls being absent, quickly said:

"Senior, after putting the things down, could you wait for me in the room for a bit?"

"I... I have something I want to ask you."

Tang Yimian's heart tightened: "!!!"

Wait in the room?

What question requires asking her privately and alone?

Hearing Lin Yu's nervous, stammering tone, Tang Yimian's mood grew just as tense.

She began wildly guessing what topic Lin Yu wanted to discuss.

Could it be about the things she said last night after getting drunk?

She thought she had gotten away with it, that it was over.

Turns out.

It's only just beginning now!

Lin Yu paid no mind to Tang Yimian's helpless look.

It wasn't like this in the dream, you know?

He still preferred the senior's unyielding, defiant demeanor.

...

During the time the senior went upstairs.

Lin Yu, along with Chi Qingshui and Shen Buyao, put away all the purchased items.

The Treasureless Pavilion still had to operate tonight.

Before long, Shen Buyao would need to head to Ghost Market Street.

Lin Yu didn't keep her chatting for long.

He had heard.

There had been quite a stir on Ghost Market Street recently, seemingly related to Huang Feirong's Huang family.

This afternoon, he hadn't even seen the King of Racy Jokes at the flower shop.

What exactly happened, Lin Yu didn't ask for details.

Shen Buyao only mentioned it in passing.

She specifically added that it wasn't her place to gossip about Rongrong's family matters outside.

He could ask Huang Feirong himself when he saw her.

Anyway, so far, he hadn't heard that Huang Feirong said she wouldn't come tomorrow.

He could just ask her on-site when she arrived tomorrow.

As for Chi Qingshui, she truly lived up to being one of the top academic achievers in their department.

The storyboard he had sent her, she had already completed all the revisions and the shot breakdown script.

Even the current Lin Yu wouldn't dare guarantee he could finish it in such a short time.

Professional work should be left to professionals!

The first batch of equipment had also arrived.

The remaining cameras and some props were scheduled for earliest use next Tuesday.

Counting carefully, that left three days.

During these three days, they needed to find suitable actors based on the scenes and script content.

Student projects don't have as many rigid standards; at the very least, they needed to finalize the main cast and principal roles.

As for the remaining roles, they could be found gradually while filming.

Usually, it's a matter of grabbing whichever classmate is free to help out for a few hours.

Extras are even more serendipitous; whoever they can find will do.

Inside the twins' room.

Looking at the snacks Lin Yu brought.

Chi Qingshui said helplessly:

"Lin Yu, don't indulge Xiao Chi like this next time."

"She already eats enough snacks as it is, to the point she doesn't eat proper meals!"

...

(Continuing the update on today's revision progress: Failed review again, got sent back. Many previous sections were flagged, including lots from the first few dozen chapters, the first hundred or so chapters. This time, there were more incomprehensible issues, like "Ding! Congratulations to the host for acquiring a such-and-such Dao Companion," all of which were flagged as needing revision. Sigh, it's reached the point of scrutinizing every single word now. Keep revising.)
