Lin Yu didn't dare to say the rest out loud.
His little girlfriend had no idea.
Her sweetheart was indeed right beside her.
To be exact.
It should be... sweethearts.
"Sister, what are you doing here?"
"I've been looking for you for ages!"
Chi Qingchi ran over from the opposite direction, not forgetting to drag Xiang Tiange along with her.
Chi Qingshui immediately returned to normal, acting as if nothing had just happened.
"What is it? I was just discussing tomorrow's shoot with Lin Yu."
"This is our first time shooting as a team, so of course we need to treat it seriously."
Lin Yu maintained a smile but didn't chime in.
Looking at Xiaochi's expression, it was obvious she had something to say to her sister.
Whenever Xiaochi had a little scheme brewing in her mind, her eyes would sparkle and blink innocently.
Even before she opened her mouth, Lin Yu could already guess what it was.
It definitely had something to do with food!
Naturally, Chi Qingshui knew her younger sister far better than Lin Yu did.
Her mind had still been a bit fuzzy a moment ago.
But the moment she saw Xiaochi's expression, she instantly realized:
"No eating. Anything else?"
Chi Qingchi pouted and said gloomily:
"Hmph, then never mind."
Seeing Xiaochi looking so sad, Lin Yu stepped in and said:
"There should still be a few minutes before my birthday is officially over, right?"
"I wonder if my words still carry any weight right now."
As if grasping at a lifeline, Xiaochi eagerly chimed in:
"They do! Of course they do!"
"Even if there's only one second left, you're still the birthday boy."
"Today..."
"The birthday boy is the boss!"
Towards the end of her sentence, Xiaochi didn't forget to sneak a peek at her sister's reaction.
If her sister were to step up and flatly say no.
It would all be for nothing.
Chi Qingshui seemed to lose all her strength and sighed in defeat:
"Do you still have money on you? Is it enough?"
Xiaochi jumped up excitedly and repeatedly nodded:
"It's enough, it's enough. Goosey and I will buy some for everyone."
"We're pulling an all-nighter, how can we not have grilled sausages?"
"The grilled sausages on this street are seriously delicious. Sister, you have to try one later too."
Lin Yu was genuinely curious.
Just how big was Xiaochi's stomach?
She had already eaten so much at the dinner table!
How could she possibly still have room for more?
Lin Yu's body had been enhanced by the system!
Even he felt like he couldn't eat another bite.
Could it be that Xiaochi had a system too?
As an older sister, Chi Qingshui focused on a completely different part of the sentence than Lin Yu did...
"Xiaochi, it seems you're quite familiar with pulling all-nighters!"
"Didn't you tell me you've never pulled an all-nighter at an internet cafe before?"
"Every time I came home for the holidays and you stayed out..."
Chi Qingshui's imposing aura rose, and it was genuinely a bit frightening.
An ordinary person really wouldn't be able to withstand her presence.
Let alone her own younger sister!
There was fundamentally a natural bloodline suppression between the two.
Xiaochi didn't dare to utter a single word, squeezing her eyes shut and freezing in place.
Xiang Tiange really wanted to say something to help.
But she worried that if she spoke up, she would only make things worse.
In terms of age.
Xiang Tiange was actually a few months older than the twins.
But in terms of presence, the gap felt like much more than just a year or two!
Chi Qingshui seemed naturally capable of suppressing these two anime-loving girls.
The moment the older sister lowered her voice.
The whole world had to fall silent!
Seeing this, Lin Yu quickly pulled out a large red bill and stuffed it into Xiaochi's hand.
"Weren't you going to buy grilled sausages? Get two for everyone."
After saying that.
He quickly shot a pointed look at Xiaochi and Xiang Tiange.
Clearly signaling to them...
Why aren't you leaving yet?
Are you waiting for your sister to explode?
Receiving the crucial signal, Xiaochi hastily grabbed Xiang Tiange and sprinted forward.
She kept rambling as she ran:
"Sister, I'll definitely pick out the tastiest one for you, the kind that's grilled until it bursts open!"
"Goosey, let's go, let's go, hurry up!"
As they ran off, Xiang Tiange didn't forget to wave goodbye to the two of them.
Chi Qingshui let out a sigh and playfully scolded Lin Yu:
"Just keep spoiling her. Sooner or later, she'll become completely unmanageable."
Lin Yu retorted, sounding entirely justified:
"Isn't your sister also my sister?"
"If I don't spoil her, who will?"
"Starting today, I need to build a good image in front of Xiaochi too!"
Chi Qingshui pursed her lips tightly, staring intently at Lin Yu.
After a long pause, she finally managed to say:
"Hmph, you really know how to win people over."
...
By the time they arrived at the internet cafe, it was already past midnight.
Usually, an internet cafe at this hour would be packed with people, or at the very least, filled with smoke like a misty fairyland.
Today, however, because they had booked the entire place, the atmosphere was completely different.
The interior was clean and tidy, and there wasn't even the slightest hint of cigarette smoke.
Just as Lin Yu was feeling puzzled.
Huang Feirong playfully nudged Lin Yu's arm:
"Dayu, doesn't the inside of this internet cafe surprise you?"
"Hehe, it might not look like much from the outside, but once you come inside... tsk, it feels pretty good, right?"
Lin Yu: "..."
Well, listening to those words...
He highly suspected that the Queen of Dirty Jokes was making an innuendo again!
It was just a shame he had no proof!
With so many people around, it wasn't the right time for Lin Yu to spar with her.
"Sister Rongrong, has this internet cafe always been this nice?"
"It's so close to home, yet I don't recall there ever being an internet cafe with such a great environment."
Lin Yu asked curiously.
It wasn't like a decade later, when high-end internet cafes could be found on every street corner.
In 2014, the typical internet cafe still lived up to its grungy stereotypes.
A clean, tidy, smoke-free internet cafe was something you could only find in big cities.
In a small city like theirs, such a place simply shouldn't exist.
Huang Feirong whispered proudly:
"Haha, it's a good thing you agreed to Yaoyao's idea and brought everyone here for an all-nighter."
"Just for tonight, Yaoyao specially hired two cleaners and booked the entire internet cafe for a day and a half."
"Starting yesterday, she brought the cleaners over and personally supervised the cleaning."
"She was worried that some of our friends might feel uncomfortable, so she put a lot of thought into it."
"Spending your own money to hire cleaners for an internet cafe—have you ever seen anything like it?"
"In all my life, this is the first time I've seen Yaoyao take something so seriously!"
Lin Yu's heart skipped a beat.
He looked over at Shen Buyao, who was currently directing everyone to grab snacks and drinks.
This girl—who looked so gentle on the outside yet acted so boldly—hid a truly sincere and devoted heart within.
If Lin Yu had refused to come to the internet cafe today...
All of Shen Buyao's efforts would have been in vain, and no one would have ever known.
Even so.
Despite the uncertainty, she had silently done so much behind the scenes.
Sigh.
There really were so many wonderful girls around him.

He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day!

But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter.
