"Sister Yaoyao, where is the restroom?"
Lin Yu walked up to Shen Buyao and asked.
Shen Buyao pointed to the aisle ahead and said, "Just go straight down this path. The men's room is on the left, and the women's is on the right."
Lin Yu deliberately acted confused, pointing toward a different fire escape aisle: "Oh! You mean this way, right?"
Shen Buyao couldn't help but cast a disdainful look at him: "Forget it, forget it. Seeing how hopeless you are with directions, I'll take you there."
Even though the female internet cafe administrator was right there, Shen Buyao's first reaction was still to personally lead Lin Yu over.
Of course.
This was exactly the outcome Lin Yu wanted to see.
The two temporarily left the crowd and walked toward the aisle.
Lined along both sides of the aisle were private booths with curtains.
Since there were no outsiders present today, there was no need to sit in the private booths.
When a group of friends goes online together, it is naturally much more fun to sit side-by-side in the main hall.
"Here, it's right ahead. You can find it now, right?"
"I'm going to get mineral water for everyone. You go pee by yourself."
"It's not like you need me to hold it for you, haha!"
Shen Buyao teased him intentionally and turned to leave.
Lin Yu, however, made his move at just the right moment, grabbing Shen Buyao by the arm.
Shen Buyao looked at Lin Yu suspiciously: "What is it? Don't tell me you need me to open the door for you too!"
Unexpectedly.
Lin Yu suddenly held her shoulders and pushed her into an empty private booth.
Immediately following.
Was a dizzying, earth-shattering kiss.
[Ding!]
[God-tier play! The Saint's sudden domineering move has sent ripples through the Tool's heart!]
[Reward: 80 Spirit Stones]
Shen Buyao's mind went blank: "!!!"
Wasn't everything fine just a moment ago?
He had a sudden onset of madness!
Just because it was his birthday, was the "Birthday Boy" really going to throw his weight around like this?
Shen Buyao's subconscious first reaction was to worry about being seen by others.
She quickly raised both hands, preparing to push Lin Yu away.
After pushing weakly a couple of times, Shen Buyao realized that she couldn't bear to use any real strength!
This stinky guy...
Once he latched on, it was truly difficult to break free.
Perhaps geographically, she was also at a disadvantage.
Folded up like a pretzel in a single sofa chair, it was difficult even to stand up.
Let alone exert any force.
After a few symbolic gestures of resistance, Shen Buyao wrapped her arms around Lin Yu's neck.
Until...
"Hiss!"
Shen Buyao covered her lips, looking at Lin Yu in surprise.
She couldn't help but rebuke him: "I... I haven't even bitten you yet, and you actually bit me?"
"Damn Lin Yu, were you born in the year of the dog? It's bleeding."
"No... why?"
Shen Buyao truly hadn't expected Lin Yu to suddenly be so violent.
Could it be that deep in his heart, there was a beast hiding?
Back at the old house, seeing him take photos with a camera before cooking, Shen Buyao had been thoroughly fooled, thinking Lin Yu was an artsy type.
Now this was...
Exposing his true nature?
Lin Yu pinched Shen Buyao's cheek and responded: "Yaoyao, thank you for tonight's arrangements."
"It turns out that in places I couldn't see, you actually did so much."
"How should I put it..."
"I just suddenly wanted to take a bite. I don't know how to describe it."
Shen Buyao nimbly crawled out of the sofa nest, quickly tidying her messy clothes.
Although Lin Yu didn't explain much.
From his words, Shen Buyao could inexplicably understand his mood.
When people are excited and moved, they want to do strange things, right?
Back when she found out about Lin Yu's destiny, hadn't she also run over to find him in an uncharacteristic manner?
If feelings were something that could be explained lightly, they wouldn't be so fascinating.
Shen Buyao pursed her lips and punched Lin Yu on the arm: "I'll forgive you this time, but just this once!"
"It really hurt!"
"Actually... I didn't do much."
"As long as you like it..."
Lin Yu said seriously: "I like it very much. The event and the person, I like them both."
Shen Buyao looked at Lin Yu blankly.
When preparing for tonight's all-nighter event, she hadn't thought much about it.
She had even worried Lin Yu wouldn't like it, so she hadn't mentioned it in advance.
Unexpectedly.
She received such feedback.
For a moment.
It actually made Shen Buyao flustered.
She didn't know how to respond properly.
She quickly pointed outside and said, "Damn Lin Yu, let me off the hook for now."
"I organized everyone to come here tonight, so I still have to go arrange the seating."
"After today passes..."
"You can do whatever you want!"
The phrase "do whatever you want" completely hit the spot for Lin Yu.
If he didn't have any ideas after hearing that, it would be pure disrespect to Antique Sister.
Lin Yu quickly seized the opportunity, tapping lightly over Shen Buyao's heart: "Yaoyao, you said it yourself. Don't you dare..."
Shen Buyao nodded quickly and grabbed Lin Yu's finger: "I promise I won't go back on my word! A thousand, ten thousand times, I won't regret it!"
After saying that.
Fearing Lin Yu wouldn't let her go, she quickly added a peck on Lin Yu's cheek.
Only then did she hurriedly run out of the private booth.
...
Not long after.
Under the greeting of Antique Sister and the King of Dirty Jokes.
Everyone took their seats one after another and opened the same shooting game!
With so many people gathering together, wanting to play the same game simultaneously...
And considering the difficulty level so that everyone could pick it up effortlessly...
Choosing from the current game library...
Crossfire was the only choice!
Shen Buyao, Huang Feirong, Mo Shangying, Xia Yiwei, plus Lin Yu.
The five of them helped everyone get into the game at the same time.
Fortunately, games in this era didn't have so many complex registration steps.
Just a QQ number was enough to easily start the game.
Aside from teaming up in the game.
The group also had to help adjust the mouse sensitivity for everyone.
For players who had never played before, the default sensitivity wasn't actually suitable.
If the screen turned too fast, it was very easy to induce 3D motion sickness.
Once 3D motion sickness appeared, it could take many years to slowly overcome.
Worse still, some might be plagued by it for life, completely cut off from 3D games.
"How is it? How is it? Is everyone ready?"
"The Team Deathmatch is about to start!"
Shen Buyao looked just like a battlefield commander, asking everyone expectantly.
Having arranged everyone's basic tutorial beforehand, the process of entering the game was incredibly smooth.
Even though many people didn't play well at first, finding it hard even to move around.
But as time went on, after just about half an hour.
Even Teacher Tang, who was the slowest to learn, had mastered all the basic operations.
The war within the internet cafe was in full swing!

The house had no tenants, but the moment he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, a self-proclaimed empress from the Tianxuan Continent arrived as his first tenant.

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.
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...
