Inside the apartment.
Five minutes after Lin Yu returned to the apartment.
"Ahahaha, my sister, that country bumpkin, actually gave you a 'Heavenly Sword'!"
"Is she preparing you to ascend Wudang Mountain to defend the Central Plains martial arts world?"
"Ahahaha, everyone, come take a look, I can't, I'm dying of laughter."
"..."
As soon as Xia Yiwei saw Lin Yu return holding a gift, she immediately scurried over.
Whether the sisters had communicated beforehand or Xia Yiwei recognized the box at a glance is unknown.
She promptly urged Lin Yu to open it in front of everyone.
Once opened, the apartment became a sea of joyous laughter...
Originally, people weren't laughing, but with the instigation of the owner's own little sister, Xia Yiwei, it was really hard not to crack up.
Xia Yiwei even clamored for Lin Yu to perform a segment, to see what an authentic "sword dance" was all about.
Forget whether Lin Yu actually knew how.
Even if he did, he would rather die than perform such an act in public!
What a joke.
Today he was here for his birthday, the birthday star!
Not the class clown.
Although this gift was completely unexpected.
The "great sword" had a very substantial feel to it!
Even unsharpened, it gave off a vibe of "if you're my bro, you can totally slay me with this."
Lin Yu examined it carefully for a long time; internally, he was actually quite pleased.
To avoid a cascade of mockery, Lin Yu decided to take the great sword to his room first.
If this thing stayed out here.
After drinking in the evening, it would be hard to refuse everyone's inevitable demand for a performance.
Putting it away first to eliminate unnecessary risks was the wise move.
"Little Lin Yu, that thing is so heavy, it's not easy to carry upstairs alone, right?"
"What if it gets damaged? Wouldn't that waste my sister's thoughtful gift?"
"Let me help you carry it up. I don't have anything to do right now anyway."
Upon learning Lin Yu was taking it upstairs, Xia Yiwei quickly jumped in, proactively offering to help.
Lin Yu: "..."
Lin Yu was no fool.
How could he not guess Xia Yiwei's ulterior motives!
Such a long box was indeed somewhat awkward for one person to carry upstairs.
Two people...
Wouldn't that be even more awkward?
Since when did Nurse Sister ever have good intentions?
No doubt, she must be planning to seize this opportunity to continue discussing the major event of last night's dream with Lin Yu!
To be honest.
Given Xia Yiwei's level of openness.
On the phone, Lin Yu had almost failed to hold his ground.
And now he had to talk about it face-to-face?
Was she planning to bring out some seriously spicy material?
And everyone was watching right now.
If Lin Yu refused outright, it would seem overly guilty.
He had no choice but to brace himself and accept Xia Yiwei's help.
Xia Yiwei held one end of the box, pretending to march in step with Lin Yu up the stairs.
After ascending one step, she realized Lin Yu was stuck outside the staircase.
Lin Yu: "..."
Xia Yiwei: "Hehe, sorry. Should we switch directions?"
Lin Yu: "Is this just a matter of switching directions?"
Xia Yiwei: "Hmm, you might have a point there?"
Lin Yu: "..."
If you offer to help, at least make it look like you're helping!
If you haven't thought it through, why step forward?
To be funny?
Finally, under Lin Yu's guidance, the two of them cradled the box between them and headed to the third floor, one in front, one behind.
It has to be said.
Nurse Sister was really good at seizing the moment.
The timing was perfect, right before lunch.
There were also many things needing tidying up in the first-floor common area.
Everyone currently in the apartment was gathered on the first floor.
The third floor was completely empty, in a...
"Shout to the heavens, no answer; call to the earth, no relief" kind of timeframe!
The perfect time to commit a little mischief.
Arriving at the bedroom door, Lin Yu made one last small attempt to struggle free.
Fumbling for his keys, he said to Xia Yiwei:
"Sister Weiwei, thanks for the help."
"The little living area inside the door is pretty narrow. I'll carry it in myself."
"Why don't you... head back down first?"
As soon as he asked, Lin Yu knew it was a wasted effort.
He saw a sly smile spread across Xia Yiwei's face:
"Hehehe..."
"Little Master, there are no outsiders here, just the two of us."
"Come on, stop pretending. Hurry up and open the door, I'm about to die of curiosity."
As she spoke,
Xia Yiwei wiggled her hips slightly on the spot.
If another girl did this move, Lin Yu might have found it somewhat appealing.
Coming from Xia Yiwei, it just sent chills down his spine.
It felt like what he was about to open wasn't his bedroom door.
But the evil gate leading down the road to hell!
Seeing Lin Yu hesitating at the door, Xia Yiwei simply let go of her end of the box.
"Clang!"
The gift from her sister, which she claimed to "treasure," fell directly to the floor.
Now she didn't care if the gift got damaged; her eyes were only on the keys in Lin Yu's hand.
She snatched them from him, clicked them twice in the lock, and opened the door.
Then.
She entered as casually as if it were her own home.
She leaned halfway in, but one arm remained outside.
Hooking the corner of Lin Yu's shirt...
Lin Yu: "!!!"
Alright, alright.
Daring to play this wild with him?
If there were no one else in the apartment today, Nurse Sister would absolutely meet a terrible end!
Carrying the box alone, he entered the room.
Truth be told, his room wasn't that spacious either. Storing such a large box would take up a lot of room.
He could only leave it in the bedroom for now and move it to the party venue after the gathering.
Maybe in the future, he could take some fellow enthusiast there to play a game of "riding and fighting"?
"Click! Click!"
Seeing Lin Yu enter, Xia Yiwei quickly circled back to the door and locked it from the inside.
Seeing no hope of evading the issue, Lin Yu had no choice but to face it head-on.
"Weiwei, I advise you to give up on this idea."
"This matter of 'borrowing' something you mentioned, I could never agree to."
"I don't know what trouble you've encountered that requires this kind of solution."
"But have you ever considered? This is a lifelong responsibility, not a moment of pleasure."
Lin Yu preemptively took the moral high ground.
A little thought would make Lin Yu's reasoning clear; what he said was correct.
If you said you had a physical need.
Lin Yu would be happy to oblige.
But if you said what you needed was a child?
How does one oblige that?
That's terrifying!
He felt he was just a kid himself!
Xia Yiwei looked around and sat down on Lin Yu's bed.
She sat far back, able to swing her legs.
"Little Master, it's not that I haven't thought about what you said."
"Don't talk so lightly without being in my shoes. What if your family arranged for you to marry someone you'd absolutely detest?"
"To escape that situation, wouldn't you have to fight for a way out?"
"Besides, aren't there plenty of couples who have a child first and then fall in love?"
...

"Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later."
