Everyone finished drawing their cards one by one.
They looked at the badges in their hands with varied expressions.
Lin Yu looked around...
Tsk, tsk, tsk!
What a dazzling sight!
You could get a taste of the myriad facets of life without even reading a morality tale.
The expressions on the girls' faces were like snapshots of different moments in life.
Lin Yu opened his mouth to say something but quickly held back.
This segment wasn't his idea.
It was all our brilliant little host!
Since she could come up with such an excellent idea, the process of cueing should certainly be left to her.
Maomao stared at the newly drawn badge for what felt like ages, her cheeks gradually warming.
So much so that she didn't even notice Lin Yu looking at her.
Lin Yu: "???"
What's Maomao doing?
No next move?
What treasure did she draw to be so stunned?
"Ahem... Maomao?"
"After getting the badge, what are you supposed to do?"
"You're the host, don't wait for me to say it!"
Lin Yu had no choice but to remind her cheerfully.
Maomao snapped back to reality, finally remembering what she should be doing now.
"Sorry, I was a bit distracted just now."
"Everyone who drew a badge, please wear it."
"And starting with 'I am the birthday boy's...', please reveal your respective identities."
"Also, briefly talk about what you usually do with the birthday boy. Make sure it fits the identity you drew!"
Lin Yu: "!!!"
Oh ho?
If Lin Yu had known that Maomao's arrangements would be this on point, he would have never dared to complain about her, even secretly.
This segment is just too perfect!
Although no one would take it seriously to heart.
But having to state their relationship with Lin Yu right in front of him...
That feeling is truly something else.
"Huh? We have to say it out loud in front of everyone?"
"Maomao, I don't think that's necessary!"
"Yeah, what's written on this... it's just a joke, no need to read it out, right?"
"Hahaha, I think it's kinda fun. What did you all draw anyway?"
"..."
The scene instantly became incredibly lively.
Those who drew safe cards looked on with glee.
They were all eager, waiting for everyone to flip their cards one by one.
Maomao looked at everyone, feeling conflicted.
Some wanted to follow the rules, while others were too embarrassed and reluctant.
Although she made the rules, she didn't want to force everyone to cooperate with her alone.
Maomao suddenly froze: "!!!"
It seems...
When the person she's facing is Lin Yu, does she not have this kind of inner conflict in her heart?
Hmm...
Ying'er's earlier question echoed in her mind once again.
What exactly is Lin Yu's place in her heart?
Maomao hadn't thought about it carefully, or rather, hadn't seriously come to a conclusion.
Seeing Maomao fall silent.
Lin Yu seized the opportunity to make a big deal out of it:
"It's Maomao's first time being a host, everyone, cut her some slack."
"Who doesn't have a first time?"
"How about this..."
"Let's all go by our own feelings. If you're willing to do as Maomao said, we'll follow along."
"If you're not willing, that's fine too, it's no big deal."
"Let's start with Aunt Ruxue!"
Du Ruxue nodded emphatically twice.
Really felt like a letdown.
That cunning Lin Yu!
So young yet with such schemes!
First, he pushes the troubled Maomao out, morally kidnapping the entire apartment.
Then, he sets himself up as the good guy, making it seem like things are really as easygoing as he says.
In reality.
Any girl who has even a slightly favorable impression of Maomao wouldn't truly disrespect her.
Finally, the crucial part!
The first person to speak is important.
If someone started off as a "troublemaker," saying they were really too embarrassed and apologizing to Maomao.
Then everyone else would have a suitable "way out."
But if the first person read it out loud, respecting the rules that Maomao set.
It would also create an inertia effect, making the next person think twice before refusing.
What made Du Ruxue even more unhappy was a hidden point...
If everyone present later accepted the rules Maomao set.
Being able to accept such a nonsensical thing would mean that other content she hosts later.
Would definitely gain support more easily!
Challenging the rules would most likely not happen again.
But right here, there was still someone who could challenge the rules, even modify them.
And that was Lin Yu!
He had just practically overturned Maomao's rules with his own actions.
Now he was morally kidnapping everyone to uphold Maomao's rules.
Wasn't that just pure left-brain-right-brain rebuttal?
Choosing Du Ruxue to speak first, what could she even say...
She couldn't very well be the first to take the lead, leaving Maomao awkwardly standing there!
She could only maintain a calm demeanor and say composedly:
"Let the birthday boy experience some human warmth for once."
"Hello everyone, I am the birthday boy's... enemy."
As Du Ruxue spoke, she put on her badge.
Drawing such an identity, saying it out loud didn't carry any pressure at all.
It even came with a bit of an intimidating aura.
Making Lin Yu's back feel a chill.
If he really had such an enemy, that would be terrifying!
Immediately after.
Xia Yiwei also stepped forward, showing support for little Maomao.
“Hehe, mine is a bit ambiguous~”
"Hello everyone, I am the birthday boy's... bedmate!"
"Usually, I sleep on the right side, and little Lin Yu sleeps on the left."
After saying that.
Xia Yiwei even raised an eyebrow at Lin Yu.
Like a female rogue...
And you know what.
This identity actually fit their situation pretty well.
Didn't Xia Yiwei barge into Lin Yu's room for exactly that?
The identity matching is really quite perfect!
With 【bedmate】 coming out so soon, the atmosphere instantly lightened up a lot.
Plus.
Xia Yiwei's humorous tone made those who were still hesitant completely let down their guard.
That's right, it's just a game after all.
The girls thought about it for a moment; if anyone should be embarrassed, wouldn't it be Lin Yu?
With a bunch of wives, lovers, how troublesome!
Little did they know.
Lin Yu was actually the one truly enjoying himself.
Mo Shangying stood next to Maomao, raising the badge in her hand high.
At the same time, she grabbed Maomao's hand.
Forcing Maomao's drawn card up as well:
"Hahaha, Maomao and I drew a matching CP set!"
"Good afternoon everyone, I am the birthday boy's... wife!"
"When our birthday boy is at home, he doesn't do anything, just lives off me!"
Ying'er's words made everyone burst into laughter again.
But Ying'er didn't mind at all, still urging Maomao:
"Maomao, hurry up and say what you are!"
Maomao didn't have a heart as big as Ying'er's, and said with a red face:
"Hello everyone, I am the birthday boy's... lover!"
"When the birthday boy isn't with his wife..."
"He's with me."

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
