Hearing that she could eat just by "speaking up," Chi Qingchi's eyes darted around mischievously.
She blinked, composed herself, and said, "I'll tell you, but you must promise not to tell everyone that it came from me!"
Lin Yu nodded and pledged, "Don't you know my character by now? How could I possibly tell a third person?"
Xiang Tiange: "I'm the third."
Xia Xiashan: "I'm the fourth."
Lin Yu: "How could I possibly tell a fifth person?"
Little Chi: "..."
Lin Yu urged, "Come on, don't be scared. Just spill everything you know."
Her eyes fixed on the donut dangling before her, Chi Qingchi slowly opened her mouth to speak:
"Actually, everyone sent you away..."
"Because they wanted to prepare a group singing performance!"
"The reason I could come out is... my part of the rehearsal is already done!"
Hearing this, Lin Yu couldn't help but smile.
Little Chi's eyes were glued to the donut as she said, "I've told you everything I know. Little Lin, hurry up."
"Hurry up and put the donut... into my mouth!"
Lin Yu slowly moved the donut closer.
Little Chi's eyes sparkled with anticipation, as if she could already taste the melt-in-your-mouth sweetness.
The next moment.
Lin Yu yanked the donut back and began devouring it in large bites right in front of Little Chi's face.
Little Chi's eyes nearly popped out of her head as she let out a pained roar:
"No! Don't!!"
"My donut!"
"Little Lin, you big liar!"
"Stop eating! Leave some, leave me just one... bite."
Little Chi fully witnessed the definition of speed eating.
A donut that large disappeared from Lin Yu's hand in just five seconds.
Was he a competitive eater?
Why eat so fast? Was he in a contest?
Lin Yu wiped his mouth clean and said with feigned regret:
"What a pity. Such a delicious treat, yet I have to enjoy it all alone instead of sharing."
"Little Chi, Zhang Wuji's mother taught us long ago that the prettier the woman, the more deceitful she is."
"Only you could come up with such a lame lie. Do you think everyone in the apartment is a hardcore anime fan?"
"An anime fan annual meeting? With a grand chorus, no less!"
"Do you really take an innocent, naive boy like me for a fool?"
Seeing that she had been seen through, Little Chi didn't even attempt to struggle.
Her lie did indeed sound full of holes.
After all, it is hard for a person to maintain rational thought when their appetite takes over!
If anyone was to blame, it was the donut!
That being said, everyone had plotted this big event together and finally found a reason to send Lin Yu away.
How could Little Chi betray everyone just to satisfy her own cravings?
No matter how much she wanted to eat, even if she was dying to eat, she had to hold out!
Damn it... *slurp*~
Lin Yu gave Little Chi a thumbs-up and laughed, "As expected of the most loyal girl in the entire apartment. I knew you wouldn't be that easy to crack."
"That's exactly why I bought so many snacks!"
Chi Qingchi: "!!!"
What did Little Lin mean by that?
With so many snacks, did he plan to devour every single one of them?
Before Chi Qingchi could voice her objection, a box of delicious butterfly pastries had already been violently torn open by Lin Yu.
Lin Yu gently picked one up, cupping his hand underneath to catch any falling crumbs.
Just like before, he dangled it in front of Little Chi:
"Little Chi, look! Just look at it!"
"So pale, so flaky, so petite!"
"I can't even imagine how delicious it will be once I take a bite!"
Xiang Tiange sucked in a breath of cold air: "Hiss!"
A chill ran down Xia Xiashan's spine: "Hiss!"
They knew perfectly well what Lin Yu was describing.
Yet, when those words came out of his mouth, they always seemed to trigger unwarranted associations.
He had better be talking about the butterfly pastry and nothing else!
Chi Qingchi's response was even more unbearable for the two women to hear.
"Little Lin, hurry... hurry up and shove it in my mouth!"
Xiang Tiange: "..."
Xia Xiashan: "..."
Lin Yu: "Crunch!"
The sound of the crispy texture was exceptionally clear inside the car.
Little Chi looked like her eyes were about to split open with rage as she babbled incoherently:
"Little Lin, you villain! Let go of my butterfly pastry! Spare it! It's just a tiny little pastry!"
"It didn't do anything wrong! Why are you punishing it?"
Lin Yu: "..."
What a dramatic Little Chi!
She made it sound like the butterfly pastry was her friend.
Wasn't her friend the Goose?
"Since you put it that way..." Lin Yu took out another butterfly pastry and said to Little Chi, "Originally, I planned to stop at just one."
"But because you begged for mercy on its behalf, I'm going to eat another one just to show you."
"Crunch!"
Little Chi's eyes widened: "No!"
In the front seat, Xiang Tiange furrowed her brows and asked Xia Xiashan, who was driving:
"Sister Shanshan, is Lin Yu always like this?"
"Seizing upon someone's weakness and ruthlessly... just ruthlessly torturing them!"
Xia Xiashan nodded vigorously and said:
"Sister Tiange, you have to be careful. Make sure he never gets any leverage on you."
"The consequences... are terrifying!"
When it came to this, Xia Xiashan certainly had the right to speak!
The scene of Lin Yu crashing the challenge that day was still vivid in her mind; she couldn't forget it at all.
When Lin Yu had the upper hand, he had absolutely no concept of restraint.
The only thing Xia Xiashan could do now was drive faster!
...
The drive took a little over ten minutes.
However, thanks to the antics of Lin Yu and Little Chi, the journey felt incredibly long.
Xia Xiashan had already employed the best driving skills of her life to speed up, hoping only that Lin Yu would torture Little Chi for a little less time.
However.
Little Chi, who refused to speak even upon pain of death, was finally burnt out!
She witnessed with her own eyes as Lin Yu ate one item after another, piece after piece.
With so many snacks available, he took out almost every single type to sample.
It was absolute torture for Little Chi's appetite!
Through this incident, the other three people in the car came to understand Little Chi's "loyal and true friend" side.
In the future, if they had any secrets, they could safely tell her.
As long as they agreed with her beforehand that it must be kept secret and not told to others, Little Chi would definitely keep her lips sealed.
If she could withstand the temptation of gourmet food, what else could possibly make her talk?
Having run out of tricks, Lin Yu finally released his "Bone-Melting Soft Palm" hold on Little Chi as the car entered the residential complex.
Pushing open the doors to the apartment lobby.
Little Chi was the first to run in, shouting tragically to the hall:
"Everyone! That detestable Little Lin guessed that we're up to something!"
"I endured torture the entire way back and kept my mouth shut tight! I didn't say a word!"
Lin Yu followed behind Little Chi, genuinely impressed by her perseverance.
Whatever they were hiding, he would ultimately have to investigate it himself!
The moment he stepped into the apartment, Lin Yu was stunned...
The lobby at this moment.
Was completely empty!
