Drunken ramblings?
Hearing Lin Yu say this, Tang Yimian's heart tightened.
That definitely couldn't be the explanation!
If they insisted on that explanation, wouldn't their newly established relationship also become the result of drunken nonsense?
Tang Yimian: "Xiao Yu, I..."
Lin Yu waited for Tang Yimian's internal struggle.
Now he had plenty of patience, he was just waiting for her answer!
"I... wasn't rambling! It really was 'in vino veritas'!"
After saying this, Tang Yimian seemed to lose all her strength.
It's over, it's over.
This time things have really gotten out of hand.
With no psychological preparation at all, their relationship has already hit the highway.
I really can't drink anymore next time!
Too terrifying!
After waking up, aside from remembering that she seemed to have said something, she couldn't remember anything else.
Lin Yu pulled Tang Yimian into his embrace again, this time holding her even tighter.
"Does this count as my birthday gift?"
Lin Yu directly brought up the birthday matter.
The birthday person reigns supreme!
Tang Yimian could only whisper:
"It counts as one of them... I prepared other gifts for you too."
After speaking.
Tang Yimian wrapped her arms around Lin Yu in return.
Oh my god.
She was hugging Xiao Yu like a couple?
This kind of scene that only appears in novels was actually happening to her!
So unreal.
But wait, that's not right either.
How could it be 'like' a couple?
They already were a couple!
After being single for so many years, she finally had a chance to try dating.
Who would have thought.
The person she'd fall for would be the college student in the apartment!
If Xinran or her colleagues found out now, they would definitely laugh at her.
I wonder what Sister Qimeng would think?
Would she accept her?
There were still many obstacles to overcome, like... and also...
Lin Yu didn't know.
At this moment, Tang Yimian had begun a "Pangu separating heaven and earth" level of daydreaming in her mind.
From the current situation all the way to what to name their future children.
...
Half an hour later.
Tang Yimian returned to her own room.
She sat dazedly on the bed, then fell back freely like a dropped object, staring at the ceiling.
So unreal...
The past half hour was just too unreal!
She and Lin Yu didn't do anything particularly special, just held each other and kissed for a while.
Most of the time, she leaned quietly in Lin Yu's arms without saying a word.
Normally.
Give her a topic, and she could talk non-stop.
But today.
She simply didn't want to chat about casual topics, she just wanted to quietly be by Lin Yu's side.
Even though they spent a long time together.
When it was time to come back, Tang Yimian still felt the time had passed incredibly fast.
She barely had time to soak it in before it was time for Lin Yu to go out.
If only they had a whole free day, just sitting together like that would be wonderful too!
"So this is what falling in love feels like... it's such a wonderful thing!"
Tang Yimian muttered to herself.
Thinking of the "agreement" between her and Lin Yu, Tang Yimian couldn't help but cup her face, making a strange expression.
Anyway, she was alone in her room, no matter what expression she made, no one would know, no need to worry about managing her expressions.
...
Lin Yu, on his end, wasn't idle.
There were still many things needed for tomorrow that required more shopping.
The earlier trip was just the first batch, that wasn't just an empty line to fool anyone.
With snacks, how could there be no fruit?
Fortunately, fruit was easier, he could buy it at the familiar fruit shop near the entrance.
The owner could even deliver it directly, saving a lot of trouble.
While buying fruit.
Miao Haixin sent several WeChat messages that made Lin Yu marvel in admiration.
「Miao Haixin: Lin Xiaoyu, feel free to come to school boldly from now on. I've already warned Yan Miaozhu, she absolutely won't dare give you a hard time again.」
「Miao Haixin: If she tries to cause trouble with your assignment grades, you must tell me immediately.」
「Miao Haixin: But don't worry too much, I don't think she'll go looking for trouble herself.」
「Miao Haixin: In short, if you have any problems, come to me anytime, don't just brood over things yourself.」
「Miao Haixin: Good luck with your short semester assignment!」
It wasn't hard to tell from the tone.
Miao Haixin must have privately approached Yan Miaozhu; the atmosphere on-site was probably extremely awkward.
Their counselor, who usually disliked making enemies, would actually confront Yan Miaozhu for his sake.
This kind of behavior.
Warmed Lin Yu's heart.
What made him marvel wasn't just Miao Haixin's actions...
But also Yan Miaozhu's!
Because right below Miao Haixin's messages were messages from Yan Miaozhu!
They were just a few minutes earlier; Lin Yu saw them but didn't pay them much mind.
Anyway, there was no need to reply instantly to the Green Snake Lady, leaving her hanging for a bit was fine.
Miao Haixin had just finished giving her assurances, and then clicking open Yan Miaozhu's messages to look...
「Yan Miaozhu: (Photo of afternoon tea pastries with coffee)」
「Yan Miaozhu: Taking a break after work. I'll take you to this place sometime, it's super delicious!」
Look, just look!
What incredible mental fortitude does the Green Snake Lady possess?
Even after Miao Haixin's personal warning, she could still act like nothing happened, continuing to send messages to Lin Yu.
Truly a master player, with no possibility of admitting defeat.
Only full confidence in her own maneuvers!
Lin Yu was very clear about what scheme Yan Miaozhu was plotting now.
Yan Miaozhu must know that Miao Haixin would be keeping an eye on her for a while.
But Miao Haixin couldn't watch her forever; there would inevitably be a day when she let her guard down, a day when a loophole could be exploited.
On the surface, she would retreat, avoiding any overt contact with Lin Yu.
But their online connection and daily chats absolutely must not stop.
She was utterly convinced.
Miao Haixin couldn't check their chat history.
And Lin Yu wouldn't let Miao Haixin know they were maintaining private contact.
She had truly mastered the art of hiding in plain sight.
By the time Lin Yu was in too deep, or when the time was ripe.
The initiative would definitely return to her hands!
Tsk tsk tsk.
People are so incredibly patient when they're up to no good.
Why must the Green Snake Lady be so stubbornly competitive?
There are plenty of other fish in the sea, why not go graze on some other tender grass?
What good could possibly come from fixating on Lin Yu!
Lin Yu was a big devil who eats people without spitting out the bones, how could a mere little green snake demon compare?
Since she wanted to play, Lin Yu would just play along.
Lin Yu raised his phone and took a picture of the bananas at the fruit stall.
Then, sent it to Yan Miaozhu.
「Lin Yu: (A bunch of bananas with some blemishes)」
「Lin Yu: I remember you said, sister, this is your favorite fruit.」
「Lin Yu: I'm planning to buy some, eat a lot today, try to cultivate it into a preference.」
...
