She said with utmost seriousness:
"Really!"
"What I said last night is also true!"
Lin Yu looked at Tang Yimian in surprise.
Trying his best not to let the corners of his mouth curve up even a little.
He knew very well in his heart that once Tang Yimian's "Really!" was out there,
what was said last night would be entirely up to Lin Yu to decide!
"Really? You really mean it?"
Lin Yu asked again for confirmation.
This time, his tone was noticeably much more excited.
Tang Yimian's cheeks flushed crimson. The words were already spoken, so she could only nod again.
However,
a second thought occurred to her about what felt off.
She added:
"Junior Lin Yu, I really mean it, it's just..."
"After drinking last night, I remember I said a lot of things."
"I don't know which specific words you're referring to as 'true'..."
"Could you give me a hint?"
She had already made a big decision internally.
At the very least, she deserved the right to know!
Even if she did confess to Junior Lin Yu,
she wanted to know what exactly she said during the confession.
Lin Yu immediately reverted to the state of an innocent college student, saying:
"I mean all the words, senior. Have you forgotten all of it?"
Tang Yimian's heart tightened: "!!!"
She really had little to no impression!
But she couldn't admit now that she didn't remember a single thing.
Wouldn't that negate what she just said?
One moment she says she'll take responsibility for her words, that they're absolutely true,
the next she says she doesn't remember anything at all?
From Junior Lin Yu's perspective, that would definitely seem like she was messing with him!
This awkward predicament reminded Tang Yimian once again:
She must not tell lies no matter what.
Once you start with one, you need to keep weaving more lies to cover up the mistake of the first.
"N-no, not all forgotten, I remember some..."
Tang Yimian had no choice but to brazen it out.
She hadn't even thought about
what she would say if Lin Yu pressed further, asking what parts she remembered.
By this point,
Lin Yu's goal had already been achieved.
The remaining time was his victory settlement for outmaneuvering the arrogant teacher from his dreams!
Lin Yu scratched his head, putting on an embarrassed look, and said:
"Senior, I actually never expected that through our interactions, you would come to like me."
Tang Yimian's pupils shook with shock: "!!!"
Oh no, oh no, oh no.
This is completely over!
So she really did confess to Junior Lin Yu while drunk?
No wonder Junior Lin Yu was so proactive today!
Alcohol is truly harmful.
She didn't even have a trace of memory of it.
Junior Lin Yu must have been so embarrassed last night!
The anxious feeling lasted for a little while.
Then Tang Yimian began to face the issue head-on.
So that means...
In a state of extreme relaxation, she clearly realized she liked Junior Lin Yu?
Hmm...
Actually, that conclusion isn't hard to reach.
After all,
she could now clarify what she truly felt in her heart.
She just never expected
that it would be under such circumstances that their relationship accelerated to the confession stage.
Since things have already come to this,
can a timid person also take control of her own life?
And make good use of this perfect opportunity?
Summoning all her courage, Tang Yimian boldly continued the conversation:
"In that situation yesterday, saying... that I like you, I'm sorry about that, Junior Lin Yu."
"Then you, you..."
"Can you tell me your thoughts? What are you thinking in your heart?"
Tang Yimian placed her hands under her legs, pressing down hard with all her might.
Only this way could she ensure she wouldn't tremble.
And prevent Junior Lin Yu from discovering how incredibly nervous she was at this moment!
In her usual state,
even with ten thousand times the courage, she wouldn't dare ask such a question.
The main reason was...
Tang Yimian could vaguely sense that Junior Lin Yu's feelings towards her seemed rather subtle too.
Lin Yu naturally sensed Tang Yimian's all-or-nothing mentality.
Because the whole "confessing she liked him last night" thing was something he made up!
Not only did Tang Yimian accept this statement, she even turned the question back on Lin Yu.
He had to give proper praise to the senior's courage!
"My feelings, didn't I already tell you last night, senior?"
"Did you forget that too?"
Like kicking a ball, Lin Yu tossed the question back to Tang Yimian.
Tang Yimian blushed all the way to the tips of her ears, answering:
"I really... really can't remember clearly."
"Junior Lin Yu, could you tell me one more time? Please!"
This time, directly admitting she forgot didn't bring much psychological pressure.
If she didn't hear Lin Yu say it with his own mouth, she could never truly feel his intentions.
They couldn't just consider their relationship confirmed in such a muddled way, right?
Under Tang Yimian's gaze,
Lin Yu gently took her wrist, softly pulling out the hand she was hiding.
Then,
he held it in his palm.
Tang Yimian's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. She really wanted to pinch her own face to see if she was dreaming.
This was not novel-teaching time now!
She and Junior Lin Yu were actually in the room... holding hands!
Next,
could it be there would be even more intimate gestures?
"Senior, I truly cherish your bravery."
"I've never been in a relationship before, and you're the first girl to express your feelings to me, to say you like me."
"Actually, I was just simply cowardly, and didn't dare tell you my feelings before."
"I'm just like you, I've also been secretly liking you!"
[Ding!]
[A brilliant move. The Saint's sincere confession moved his Dao Companion's heart immensely!]
[Reward: 50 Spirit Stones.]
Hearing Lin Yu speak these words himself,
Tang Yimian found her eyes inexplicably moistening.
It clearly wasn't some bitter or tragic love story from a novel, nor were there any plotlines of a thousand hardships.
But at this moment,
she still felt it touched a soft spot in her heart, involuntarily opening the floodgates of her tear ducts.
Wanting to say something, she felt even speaking would ruin the atmosphere.
Lin Yu gently wiped her tears for her, quickly starting to apply the "rules of drunk talk."
He continued, adding:
"Senior, I know you're a teacher, and I'm still just a college student. I understand all the concerns you mentioned yesterday."
"You're willing to wait until I graduate to officially be with me, which is also a little test for me."
"I believe in you, and I hope you believe in me, believe in the feelings that have just been established between us!"
[Ding!]
[A brilliant move. The Saint's willingness to make sacrifices for his Dao Companion's sake brings her great peace of mind!]
[Reward: 50 Spirit Stones.]

(Reporting today's progress: Things are developing in an absurd direction. How should I describe the latest flagged parts? Some are my intentional allusions and playful references, but some are practically Shen He extending things on his own. If you remember, you might recall when Lin Yu was challenging dojos, Xia Xiashan said, "I still have one hand I can use," and Lin Yu internally complained, "Are you going to learn from Goku fighting Piccolo and pull a 'Heaven and Earth Piercing Attack'?" Well, it's this "Heaven and Earth Piercing Attack" that got flagged as vulgar!!! There are several similar instances. I'm really at my wit's end. I'll just keep stubbornly revising. It's too torturous.)
close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
