Lin Yu disagreed and retorted:
"Qingshui, you can't say that..."
"Little Chi has indeed been eating a lot of snacks lately, but it hasn't interfered with her meals at all!"
"I actually think her appetite is better than before, how could she not be eating properly?"
"That's just alarmist talk!"
Chi Qingshui was amused by Lin Yu's tone and giggled.
In front of Lin Yu, she couldn't even pretend to be tough if she wanted to.
And today was even more...
In the bedroom where only the two of them were, she actively hooked her arm through his.
Lin Yu felt waves of contentment inside.
She's getting it, she's getting it.
His little girlfriend was slowly showing signs of becoming clingy.
"Hey, hey, student Chi Qingshui, what are you doing?"
"Men and women should not touch when giving or receiving things, I'm a proper person."
As he said this, Lin Yu wrapped his arm around Chi Qingshui's slender waist.
"Should not touch when giving or receiving, you say..."
"Why didn't you say that to me when we were outside before?"
Chi Qingshui, under his arm, gave him a light pinch.
"Just kidding, just kidding, spare me, my lady."
The pain made Lin Yu beg for mercy repeatedly.
Chi Qingshui didn't really want to teach him a lesson; it was just a minor punishment.
Lin Yu quickly put on a smile and said:
"Isn't your little sister also my little sister? Being good to her, isn't it just so she'll have a better impression of her future...?"
Chi Qingshui curled the corner of her mouth and turned her head away.
[Ding!]
[A show-off move. The sweet interaction between the Saint and his Dao Companion has made the Dao Companion more devoted to the Saint!]
[Reward: 50 Spirit Stones]
Lin Yu just spent a little while being all lovey-dovey with Chi Qingshui in the room.
They didn't do anything that lasted or was more serious.
If it weren't for the fact that his senior was still waiting in his room.
He wouldn't have let go of this good opportunity with Little Chi not being home so easily.
He'd consider it letting Chi Qingshui off the hook for today; he'd find another chance later.
...
Inside Lin Yu's room.
Tang Yimian had come up and placed the bags in the small living area outside.
She herself stood at the doorway between the living area and the bedroom, obediently waiting for Lin Yu to return.
She had taken junior Lin Yu's key and come to his room.
Of course she couldn't just wander around randomly!
Junior Lin Yu had given her the key out of trust.
If she disrespectfully ran around, peeking everywhere.
Wouldn't that betray junior Lin Yu's trust in her?
She'd rather stand stiffly to the side than make junior Lin Yu feel uncomfortable when he returned.
Tang Yimian's plan was perfect.
She just overlooked how long Lin Yu would take to come up!
She waited and waited, standing until her legs were sore.
But Lin Yu still hadn't come up...
Thinking about it, it wasn't hard to understand.
He bought so many things; it must be a hassle to put them all away.
He was probably still downstairs, busy tidying up.
It might even take another ten or twenty minutes to finish.
Rubbing her calves, Tang Yimian glanced into Lin Yu's bedroom.
If she sat in the chair at the computer desk...
That shouldn't count as disrespectful, right?
Just sitting down to rest for a bit, not doing anything else, that's normal, right?
Tang Yimian also felt it wasn't right to send a message urging Lin Yu.
After struggling with herself for a good while.
She finally walked into the bedroom and sat down in Lin Yu's gaming chair.
"Wow!"
"This chair must be really expensive, right? It's so comfortable!"
The moment Tang Yimian sat down, she couldn't help but exclaim.
Compared to the wooden chair she made do with in her own bedroom, it was like heaven and earth.
You really get what you pay for.
To enjoy life, you have to be willing to spend money.
Sitting in this gaming chair wasn't just a powerless feeling like sitting on cotton.
Where support was needed in the back, it effectively provided support.
At the same time.
It maintained a certain softness and comfort, giving the petite Tang Yimian a feeling like lying on a sofa.
Tang Yimian often needed to grade student assignments, so she spent long hours sitting in a chair.
Maybe later... she could ask junior Lin Yu about the price of the chair?
If it was within an acceptable range, she could get one for herself!
Leaning against the built-in headrest of the gaming chair, the comfortable feeling couldn't help but trigger her old habit.
In less than a minute.
Even breathing sounds came from the chair.
Tang Yimian uncontrollably fell asleep...
Not long after.
Lin Yu returned to his room.
Tang Yimian hadn't locked the door, or even closed it properly; it was just ajar and would open with a push.
Seeing the bags placed by the entrance meant the senior was in the bedroom!
Lin Yu didn't call out, but tiptoed into the bedroom.
The next moment.
He saw the senior sleeping in the gaming chair.
Lin Yu: "..."
Alright, alright.
What a carefree senior.
She could actually fall asleep at a time like this.
She really had no idea what a dangerous place she was in.
Lin Yu took a step forward, then hesitated and stopped.
Instead.
He went back to the small living area and first locked the door from the inside.
It was unlikely anyone would come over right now.
But you never know, so it's better to be safe.
Who knows if that rebellious disciple might get addicted and make another surprise visit this afternoon?
Being careful was never wrong.
Returning to the bedroom, looking at the senior's elegant, sleeping form.
Lin Yu could only hate that the Dream-Entering Technique rewarded by the system wasn't flexible enough in its use.
If he could enter the senior's dream right now and have a secret rendezvous with her there.
Then when the senior woke up later and had to face him directly.
Wouldn't that be a wonderful thing?
She'd have no way to escape, forced to confront him head-on.
As for now...
Lin Yu pushed the gaming chair's wheels back a bit.
He brought over another chair and placed it facing Tang Yimian.
After sitting down.
Lin Yu wanted to activate the "The Dean is Here" technique.
But seeing the senior's sweet appearance while asleep, he wavered again.
Such a beautiful scene shouldn't be wasted!
Lin Yu got up and went to the small study, found a drawing board, paper, and pencils.
The skill he learned from Little Fufu absolutely couldn't be left to rust.
Using it now to "make the most of it" counted as not copying the skill for nothing.
Just a simple portrait sketch with a pencil wasn't a complicated process.
With Lin Yu's hand speed and drawing ability.
In under ten minutes, all the details were filled in.
Senior Tang was very cooperative throughout the whole process.
Not only did she not wake up, she didn't even move.
As a portrait model, she was definitely the kind artists love the most.
Lin Yu tidied up the desk, leaving the drawing board behind.
It was time to wake the "Sleeping Beauty"!
"The dean is here~"
Lin Yu said softly near Tang Yimian's ear.
Then.
He reacted quickly and dodged back.
He had personally witnessed Senior Tang's speed before!
If he didn't dodge fast enough, he'd only end up getting hit!
