"Tiange, why don't you sit in the passenger seat?"
"I'll sit in the back with Xiao Chi; I have some things I want to ask her."
Right before getting in the car, Lin Yu approached Xiang Tiange with this request.
Since the car belonged to his friend, how could Xiang Tiange refuse?
On the surface, she agreed calmly.
However, deep down, ripples of displeasure were unavoidable.
Lin Yu and Xiao Chi? Speaking privately?
Did their relationship go beyond mere friendship?
Xiao Chi, who had volunteered to come pick up the cake with Lin Yu today... she did seem very focused on him...
Lin Yu wasn't worried about Xiang Tiange misunderstanding.
Once the car was on the road, the answers would reveal themselves naturally.
On the other hand, the driver, Xia Xiashan, had inadvertently overheard Lin Yu's conversation with Xiang Tiange.
She couldn't help but sweat a little on Xiao Chi's behalf!
Suddenly.
Lin Yu's hand rested on Xia Xiashan's shoulder again.
Xia Xiashan shuddered violently. "!!!"
She froze on the spot.
"Sorry, Sister Shanshan, did I startle you?"
Lin Yu spoke in a kindly tone, his face still wearing his signature smile.
However.
No matter how much Lin Yu acted like the boy next door.
His image in Xia Xiashan's mind was past the point of no return!
Back in the shop, Xia Xiashan had just slightly improved her opinion of him.
Who would have thought?
Lin Yu was suddenly talking about interrogating a prisoner?
What on earth was going on in this guy's head!
Was he really just a twenty-year-old college student?
"No, not at all."
Xia Xiashan replied hurriedly.
Lin Yu could fully sense Xia Xiashan's panic.
The protagonist of this journey wasn't the martial arts hall director; Lin Yu didn't plan to do anything to her.
There was only one thing he needed this older sister to do!
"Sister Shanshan, please focus on driving in a moment."
"No matter what happens on the road, do not stop the car."
Xia Xiashan: "???"
What kind of request was that?
What exactly was Lin Yu planning to do in the back seat?
Xiao Chi was just a delicate, soft-bodied girl; what kind of ideas did Lin Yu have?
If she really saw something unspeakable happening on the road.
How could Xia Xiashan possibly not react?
"Sister Shanshan, can you not meet my requirement?"
Seeing that Xia Xiashan didn't answer, Lin Yu asked directly.
Xia Xiashan's eyelid twitched, and she subconsciously replied:
"No, I can... I can do it."
After saying it.
Xia Xiashan realized—hadn't she just become an accomplice?
"Xiao Chi, let's sit in the back!"
"Let Tiange sit in the front; it's more spacious and has a better view."
Lin Yu offered a reasonably sounding excuse to Chi Qingchi.
The innocent Xiao Chi naturally didn't realize what was happening.
She agreed happily and climbed into the back seat.
Little did she know.
While getting through that car door was easy, getting out would be difficult!
After the three of them hit the road.
Xia Xiashan frequently glanced at the back through the rearview mirror.
She wanted to see exactly what Lin Yu was preparing to do.
Xiang Tiange, in the passenger seat, shared the exact same thought.
On the way here, the three of them had sat together in the back just fine, squeezing into a narrow taxi.
Now that they were in a much more spacious G-Wagon, they couldn't sit together?
Had she done something to make Lin Yu dislike her?
Just now in the cake shop...
She hadn't done anything, right?
Even if she wanted to review her actions, there had to be an event to review.
She completely failed to understand what Lin Yu was thinking.
Were boys' minds really this hard to guess?
In contrast, Xiao Chi in the back seat was still immersed in the joy of buying snacks.
She hugged the bag filled with pastry boxes with both hands, happiness overflowing on her face.
Seeing this scene, Lin Yu calculated the time until they reached home.
Hmm, just about right.
Now was the best time to start.
"Xiao Chi, Tiange, do you two know how Sister Shanshan and I met?"
Lin Yu's voice broke the silence in the car.
Instantly.
Everyone's gaze shifted to him.
Xia Xiashan, who was driving, even stepped on the brakes nervously.
Xiang Tiange had only been able to sneak peeks at the back before.
Now that Lin Yu was speaking, she could finally look into the rearview mirror openly!
"I heard you introduce her just now. Sister Shanshan is... Sister Xia Yiwei's biological older sister from the apartment, right?"
"Did you meet through Sister Xia Yiwei's introduction?"
Xiang Tiange tried to guess.
She wasn't a resident of the apartment, so she didn't know the details.
Xiao Chi, however, shook her head and said:
"I don't think that's what was said during our apartment dinner last time. I remember it was..."
"Kung Fu? Xiao Lin, you seem to know some traditional Kung Fu?"
"You had some sort of exchange with Sister Shanshan, didn't you?"
"Sister Shanshan, I'm remembering that correctly, right?"
Xia Xiashan managed to squeeze out a smile and responded:
"Close enough. That's pretty much what happened."
She couldn't figure out at all why Lin Yu had suddenly brought up this topic.
If Lin Yu had some bad intentions, he could just carry them out himself!
Did he have to drag her down with him?
Xiang Tiange poked her head back from the front seat and said in amazement:
"Kung Fu? Like martial arts fighting?"
"Isn't Sister Shanshan running a martial arts hall?"
"If you could exchange moves with her..."
"Lin Yu, can you really fight?!"
Xiao Chi turned sideways and said with equal curiosity:
"Actually, when I first heard about it, I was really curious too."
"Xiao Lin, you don't just do military calisthenics, do you?"
Driving the car, Xia Xiashan was speechless: "..."
These two little sisters really didn't know anything!
They completely failed to realize who the most capable fighter in this car actually was.
Lin Yu laughed effortlessly:
"Military calisthenics? Hahaha, Xiao Chi, you really dare to say that."
"Actually, the version you heard last time is slightly different from reality."
"Since we're all so close now, there's no harm in saying it."
"Sister Shanshan and I met because I went to challenge her dojo!"
"To be precise, I alone..."
"Defeated their entire gym!"
Xiang Tiange: "???"
Chi Qingchi: "???"
Xia Xiashan: "!!!"
As these words came out.
The car fell into a weird silence.
Xiao Chi blinked, asking in shock:
"Xiao Lin, are you saying that those martial arts instructors who helped Maomao deliver things that night..."
"You beat all of them by yourself?"
Lin Yu: "What? You don't believe me?"
Chi Qingchi: "It's not that I don't believe you; I completely don't believe you."
Xiang Tiange: "Although I haven't seen those instructors, that doesn't stop me from finding it very hard to believe, too."
Xia Xiashan held back a bright red face: "..."
What kind of eccentric temper did Lin Yu have!
Was he the only one who was amazing? The only one high and mighty?
If he wanted to interrogate the little girl, he should just interrogate her honestly!
Why drag her out and humiliate her publicly first? Didn't she need to save face?
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...
lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."
ions, keeping it grounded and realistic】 After quitting his job, office worker Su Yang accidentally binds with the "Enjoy Life System." As the name suggests, simply by indulging in life's pleasures, he can earn random rewards from the system—no need to spend money on beautiful women or grovel before anyone.

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
