Hearing Xia Yiwei's words over the phone, Lin Yu's heart clenched.
So, things that happened in the dream world really could affect reality!
What did Xia Yiwei want to borrow...
How could Lin Yu not guess?
Even so.
As the "uninformed" party, Lin Yu continued his act:
"Borrow something from me? Borrow what?"
"Calling so suddenly this late, it can't be anything good, right?"
Lin Yu immediately switched to defensive questioning mode.
Giving Xia Yiwei a preemptive warning.
Some words, if you're unsure whether to say them, it's better not to say them at all!
Unexpectedly.
Xia Yiwei was fully prepared.
Hearing Lin Yu's words, she continued unhurriedly:
"It's definitely not something to trouble you, Little Master. I just want to borrow a very, very small thing from you."
"For you, it would be absolutely effortless and not that important."
"Little Master, promise me first, okay?"
Lin Yu: "..."
After hearing this.
Instead of easing Lin Yu's anxiety, it made cold sweat break out on his back.
This was no different from asking Lin Yu to sign a blank sheet of paper and letting Xia Yiwei fill in the content later.
Trying to fool a child?
Who would agree to something like that?
Lin Yu: "Weiwei, do you think my brain is broken?"
Xia Yiwei: "How could that be?"
Lin Yu: "How could it not be! First, tell me what you actually want to borrow. If you want to borrow a hundred million, do I even have that?"
Xia Yiwei: "Then... what if I said I want to borrow one dollar out of several hundred million, could you lend it to me?"
Lin Yu: "..."
Hey!
Was she making an innuendo?
That was almost an explicit hint, wasn't it?
Although Lin Yu had no proof.
But anyone with a bit of common sense could vaguely guess what she was trying to imply.
Lin Yu fell silent.
Seemingly speechless.
In reality, he was quickly calculating in his mind how to reply in a way that would show both shock and a clear "impossible."
To make Xia Yiwei give up on this idea for good!
But before Lin Yu could answer, another faint, murmuring voice came from the other end of the phone:
"Forget it, asking directly isn't good. I should just buy some medicine to deal with him..."
Lin Yu almost jumped out of bed!
He immediately sat up straight and demanded:
"Ber, Weiwei, wait a minute!"
Xia Yiwei's voice became bright and clear again:
"Little Master, I'm here, I'm here."
"Hehe, are you going to agree?"
Lin Yu quickly said righteously and sternly:
"Is your head filled with water? How could I possibly agree!"
Xia Yiwei, neither hurried nor annoyed:
"Hehe, it seems you understand what I'm talking about, so that puts my mind at ease."
"I was still thinking about how to phrase it more nicely."
"Little Master, you're so smart, worthy of being my master."
"Intelligence in this aspect can affect the next generation."
Lin Yu: "..."
He really wanted to drag Xia Yiwei over and make her sober up properly.
But he inexplicably felt like he was punching cotton.
Indeed.
Xia Yiwei never explicitly stated what she wanted to borrow.
Lin Yu's reaction was equivalent to admitting he guessed the meaning.
Carelessly, he had been tricked by his second disciple!
What kind of karma had he created?
The disciples he casually took in as a joke were now coming at him one after another.
Where did they see him as a master?
Wasn't he just a pure tool?
In Xia Yiwei's dream, he saw that arguing with people earned income.
Lin Yu just wanted to follow Xia Yiwei's wishes, spew some trash talk to save up money to buy the position of Acting Sect Leader.
Who could have imagined something like this would happen!
And he became the military advisor?!
Lin Yu took a deep breath, trying hard to calm his emotions.
Can't panic.
The more tricky the situation, the more he must not panic; he needs to stay calm.
For now, the initiative is still in his hands, at least, so dealing with it isn't that difficult.
So what if he knows what Xia Yiwei is hinting at?
At most, it just shows he's intelligent and emotionally savvy!
Being high in both IQ and EQ isn't a bad thing.
Lin Yu leaned back against the headboard again and spoke with stable emotions:
"Weiwei, it's fine if we usually joke around, but this kind of thing absolutely cannot be treated as a joke."
"Yes, I admit, I have some normal attraction towards you as a man and a woman."
"But that doesn't mean we can treat things between us casually like a joke."
Sorry, I can't agree to what you're suggesting, and I don't know what stimulus you've had.
"You'd be better off spending that time having some career ambition, first think about how to go from nurse to head nurse."
Hmm!!
Lin Yu was quite satisfied with his own speech.
It sounded reasonable and saved face.
While rejecting, he didn't forget to acknowledge the relationship beyond friendship between them.
Unfortunately.
Lin Yu still underestimated the level of absurdity of this nurse sister...
"'Head nurse' is a 'head', isn't 'head of the family' also a 'head'?"
"Little Master, you can't discriminate against professions!"
Lin Yu: "???"
That familiar feeling again.
He really wanted to pull Xia Yiwei over and give her a good beating with his fists, while asking:
Is that what I meant?
Is that the point I was making?
Don't you understand what I'm trying to say?
Once again...
The museum director sister really didn't hit her enough!
Immediately after.
Xia Yiwei continued:
"Little Master, actually, you don't need to be so nervous. Technology is so advanced now."
"We don't necessarily need to actually do anything to have... hehe."
"That's why I said it's borrowing!"
Lin Yu's brain felt like it was struck by lightning, and he said with slight anger:
"Artificial? That's even more unacceptable!"
What nonsense was she spouting!
Even if he were to personally go through with it, Lin Yu wouldn't dare act recklessly, worried about getting into trouble.
She's actually in the medical field, and thought of using medical means?
Lin Yu would have zero sense of involvement, so what would be the point then? For the sake of true feelings in the world?
"'Even more'!... unacceptable?"
Xia Yiwei repeated what Lin Yu said, placing heavy emphasis on the word "more."
Lin Yu: "!!!"
Damn it!
He was so angered into confusion by Xia Yiwei's antics just now.
He actually made such a low-level slip in his speech!
Under normal circumstances.
His watertight self would never make such a mistake.
Through the phone screen...
Lin Yu could almost see Xia Yiwei's eyes lighting up again!
Over the phone.
Xia Yiwei's voice came through once more.
This time.
It seemed to carry a self-assured "got you" sound effect.
Xia Yiwei: "Little Master, it's fine if you refuse. How about first listening to my ideas?"
For a moment, Lin Yu actually didn't dare to respond.
Why did this feel like the flavor of when he used to scheme against girls?
Is there even backlash for this?
Hearing Lin Yu not speaking, Xia Yiwei started talking on her own:
"Hehe, since you're not talking, I'll assume you're listening. Regarding this matter..."
"First, only heaven, earth, you, and I will know. No one else will find out."
Second, you can ask for any exchange condition you want.
"Third, I've watched a lot of strange movies. No practical experience, but my knowledge is extensive. You can lend it to me using the method before 'even more'!"
...
