The three of them hailed a taxi and all sat in the back row.
Xiang Tiange sat in the middle, while Lin Yu and Chi Qingchi sat on the left and right sides respectively.
This seating arrangement was even more peculiar!
Given Little Chi's incredibly high EQ, shouldn't she be the one sitting in the middle?
Why would she arrange for Xiang Tiange, who ostensibly wasn't very close to Lin Yu, to sit in the center?
Moreover, ever since getting into the car, Little Chi had been fiddling with her phone non-stop.
The phone must have been deliberately set to silent mode; not even the slightest vibration could be heard.
Judging by Xiang Tiange's reaction, she probably wasn't an accomplice.
After getting in the car, she not only chatted with Lin Yu but also kept chatting with Little Chi about recent interesting events.
If she were an accomplice, distracting Lin Yu would have been enough.
That would have given Little Chi more room to operate.
Since she didn't do that, she naturally didn't seem suspicious.
The best method right now would undoubtedly be to use a [Virtual Formation Talisman] to easily hack into the apartment's network, or even Little Chi's phone.
To see what they were chatting about behind his back; the answer could be found easily.
But as soon as this thought popped up, Lin Yu quickly snuffed it out.
He had ultimately lived to become a boring adult.
He almost wanted to use the blade of "rational maturity" to pop the rainbow bubbles everyone had so lovingly woven.
Nowadays, to still have a group of confidants willing to accompany him in dreaming childishly...
How could he face this matter in the most boring way possible?
No matter what everyone was hiding from him.
It was all to add more fun to his birthday party.
Using external forces was too boring.
Pretending not to know would weaken the sense of surprise.
It would be better to try and pry open... Little Chi's mouth using his own methods!
Everyone has weaknesses.
Some people's weaknesses are very obvious.
At this moment, Little Chi didn't know that a "special interrogation" designed specifically for her was already quietly brewing...
They arrived at the designated cake shop.
Xia Xiashan was already waiting there.
Lin Yu introduced Xia Xiashan and Xiang Tiange to each other, and they entered the cake shop together to pick up the goods.
In this day and age, picking up a cake still required the store receipt in Lin Yu's hand.
It wasn't something that could be easily picked up just by stating a phone number.
After entering the store, Little Chi seemed to have arrived in heaven.
Missions were missions, appetite was appetite.
The two could not be confused.
It was just a pity.
Recently, she had bought too many snacks, plus there were many gifts from Lin Yu.
In terms of her pocket money quota, she had long since exceeded the limit.
She had no budget left to buy small cookies, small cakes, small cheese... various small pastries.
She could only satisfy her eyes, circling around the small pastries in the display cabinet.
How could Xiang Tiange not understand Little Chi's thoughts? She immediately said:
"Little Chi, don't look so pitiful."
"If you really want to eat, I'll treat you!"
"Didn't you treat me to a meal near your school?"
"Just consider this my return treat!"
Little Chi waved her hands repeatedly and said painfully:
"Better not, you don't know my sister."
"If she sees me going back with these exquisite and delicious pastries, she will definitely deduct my pocket money for next week."
"Just endure it, it's easy to get over it!"
Little Chi bit her lip tightly, afraid that she might drool.
Not far away.
Lin Yu took everything in.
Speaking of Little Chi, she could at least pretend to help, right?
The matter of moving the cake was completely left to him and Sister Curator.
When leaving home, she solemnly vowed to help.
Once at the cake shop, without anyone even provoking her, she immediately revealed her true colors!
However.
This was actually the scene Lin Yu hoped to see.
"Little Chi, your sister can control you, but can she control me?"
"If I, the birthday boy, step forward to buy a few pastries to take back and share the joy with you."
"Could she possibly lecture me?"
Lin Yu approached Little Chi at the right moment and generously took out three large red bills.
The feeling of spending cash in hand was just more direct than using a phone.
Hearing Lin Yu's words, stars instantly appeared in Little Chi's eyes!
"Little Lin... the best Little Lin in the world!"
"Are you telling the truth?"
"You you you, you're the birthday boy today, you're definitely the boss!"
"If you buy some to take back, Sister definitely won't dare to act out; she's usually most afraid of you!"
"I can also contribute part of my pocket money as your purchasing fund, Little Lin!"
Saying this.
Little Chi really started rummaging through her pockets, wanting to give some money to Lin Yu.
Letting Lin Yu buy alone while she only ate made her feel bad.
Lin Yu nonchalantly held down Little Chi's arm and said:
"Little Chi, occasionally treat me like a guy. Let me pay the bill independently once; it won't kill anyone."
"I'll buy more, and we'll all eat together when we get back!"
"It's a birthday, how can there be no butterfly pastries? How can there be no tiger skin rolls? How can there be no strawberry yogurt melts?"
[Ding!]
[God-tier play. The telepathic connection between the Saint Son and the Joyous Sect Bell Envoy has made her extremely delighted!]
[Reward: 100 Spirit Stones]
Lin Yu: "!!!"
Good heavens.
Did it just drop two thousand gold coins?
This wasn't Lin Yu paying the bill; Little Chi had paid a huge bill herself within the system.
The pastries Lin Yu mentioned were all things Little Chi had been circling and eyeing for a long time just now.
Little rascal!
Thought I couldn't handle you?
Xiang Tiange clapped her hands vertically and laughed:
"Little Chi, our classmate Little Lin is a real man, hahaha!"
Xia Xiashan, standing not far away.
Did not rush to urge them to leave.
Instead, she watched quietly from the side, observing the interaction between Lin Yu and them.
So...
Was Lin Yu usually this sunny?
He was completely different from the "imaginary enemy" that Xia Xiashan feared.
Xia Xiashan couldn't help but smile and shake her head, mocking herself a little inside.
Yeah.
At Lin Yu's age, how could his heart be as sinister as she thought?
Why did she have to act so fearful when facing him?
Today, let's face Lin Yu with a more relaxed mindset.
Maybe she could feel his other side just like everyone else.
"Sister Shanshan."
While she was pondering.
Lin Yu had actually handed over the task of buying pastries entirely to Little Chi.
He himself came to Xia Xiashan's side and laughed heartily, calling her sister.
Xia Xiashan put away her nervous and fearful emotions and instead showed a brilliant smile:
"Aren't you going to pick with them? It doesn't matter if I wait a bit longer."
Lin Yu shook his head and smiled:
"No need, just let Little Chi pick."
"I wanted to ask, the child safety lock on the back seat of your car... is it still on?"
Xia Xiashan was suspicious inside, but answered truthfully:
"Yeah, it's still on."
"Oh~ I get it, I'll go turn it off in a bit..."
Before she finished speaking.
Lin Yu placed his hand on her shoulder and lowered his voice:
"Don't turn it off, it's good that it's on."
"It makes it convenient for me to interrogate the prisoner."
Xia Xiashan: "???"
Interrogate? Prisoner?
Those two younger sisters?
This, this this...
Seeing Lin Yu's smile again, the fear that had just disappeared from Xia Xiashan surged back frantically!
...
and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger. Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities. I just want to get stronger." Female Lead #2: "I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos." Female Lead #3: "What? Everyone around me is a spy? I’m the Joker Demon Lord?" ... It’s so strange. Why is the plot completely off track, yet the ending remains the same? Are you all just messing with me?!
ions, keeping it grounded and realistic】 After quitting his job, office worker Su Yang accidentally binds with the "Enjoy Life System."

he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
