Shen Jiuyi: ???
She never in a million years expected an answer like that.
Could Lin Yu actually... control his time in this aspect?
But what Shen Jiuyi wanted to test wasn't whether she would get swept up in the heat of the moment!
She could clearly feel the emotional shifts within her.
If she let this continue, Lin Yu would definitely have his way with her in no time.
Let alone seriously thinking about whether she would resist.
She couldn't even breathe, so how could she think about anything?
Seeing Lin Yu about to lean in again.
Shen Jiuyi hurriedly spoke up.
"Lin Yu, please wait!"
Lin Yu felt a wave of helplessness in his heart.
As a pure warrior who believed in doing the deed, how could he not know what was going through a girl's mind?
If he gave Shen Jiuyi even a little time to think rationally.
The final result would definitely be the failure of today's operation.
Worse yet.
He might have to wait several more days!
Just as Lin Yu expected.
Shen Jiuyi followed up, speaking rapidly:
"L-let's wait a few days first. I need a little time to mentally prepare myself."
Lin Yu: ...
Wait a few days?!
How could Shen Jiuyi know what an agonizingly long wait "a few days" was?
The prize was already at his lips, and he still had to wait that long to taste it?
What a joke!
Lin Yu took another step forward and said seriously:
"What do you mean? Everything has to go according to your whims?"
"Shen Jiuyi, haven't you figured out the situation?"
"Right now, you are the one begging me for help, not me begging you to give yourself to me!"
Shen Jiuyi: !!!
Here he goes again.
Lin Yu's unbearably harsh words!
The most uncomfortable part was that she couldn't find any angle to refute him.
Shen Jiuyi could only listen in silence.
And judging from Lin Yu's tone...
He seemed a bit angry?
Indeed.
If she put herself in Lin Yu's shoes, he was being treated like a tool with no right to choose.
Shen Jiuyi had thought that guys wouldn't care about these things.
But she wasn't a guy after all, so she couldn't empathize with Lin Yu's feelings.
Quickly organizing her panicked thoughts, Shen Jiuyi gave the most reasonable answer:
"Tomorrow... is tomorrow night okay?"
"I don't want to do it in Rongrong's warehouse..."
"I'm sorry, Lin Yu. If you're not satisfied with my timing, we can wait however long it takes until you feel it's appropriate."
Lin Yu pinched his chin in displeasure.
Since she had said this much, if Lin Yu continued to act tough, he would just seem ungentlemanly.
For an inexperienced girl like Shen Jiuyi.
Nervousness was inevitable.
He had seen many kinds of nervousness, each manifesting differently.
Wanting to give themselves more room for mental preparation, however, was a common trait among them.
Sometimes.
Seizing the moment before they could react and launching a quick surprise attack to get his way.
Could save a lot of unnecessary trouble.
But this approach didn't work every time.
Like right now, continuing to force the issue wouldn't result in a wonderful experience.
As a lifestyle artist who prioritized the experience, this was naturally not what Lin Yu was after.
"What time, and what place?"
"You're not planning to create some alone time in front of others again, are you?"
Lin Yu hastily pressed her with questions.
Afraid that some uncontrollable flaw would appear again.
If the plan Shen Jiuyi proposed couldn't satisfy him.
He would offer his own targeted suggestions!
Shen Jiuyi responded:
"After nine o'clock tomorrow night. The location is the Home Inn below the Xinshe building."
"I'll tell you the room number in advance..."
"Is that okay?"
Lin Yu: !!!
What could possibly be not okay about this?
It was more than okay!
After nine at night, the Ghost Market Street would open for business.
By then, Shen Buyao would definitely be operating in the Wubao Pavilion.
The person most likely to be an obstacle definitely wouldn't show up.
After nine, Lin Yu's handover of the antique treasures with Huang Feiya should also be mostly finished.
On Lin Yu's side, there would be no restrictions on his movements.
The two of them, during a relatively controllable time, going to a Home Inn over a dozen kilometers away from the apartment...
Right time, right place, right people—it had it all!
With a plan thought out so thoroughly, how could Lin Yu find anything to nitpick?
He couldn't help but smile and tease her:
"That's quite a comprehensive plan!"
"Little Jiu, when you called me last night..."
"...you had already thought of all this, hadn't you?"
Shen Jiuyi: ...
He wasn't entirely wrong in saying that.
She had indeed thought out all the subsequent matters in advance.
Except for the timing being pushed up a lot, everything else was basically within her expectations.
"Lin Yu, we... we'd better go back first."
"If everyone asks, I think you should know how to answer."
Having finalized tomorrow's matters, Shen Jiuyi didn't dare to stay any longer.
She was terrified that Lin Yu might change his mind again in a moment and launch another fierce assault on her.
Through her recent performance, Shen Jiuyi had clearly understood her own situation.
Faced with Lin Yu's forceful moves, she had almost no ability to resist.
What she wanted to verify tomorrow had, to some extent, just been partially verified.
It was just that she hadn't faced Lin Yu's invasion under relatively stable circumstances just now.
She still needed to look further to know if there really was another personality hidden inside her.
If there really was.
Would releasing this personality she had hidden for years be able to solve her current predicament?
Having reached this point.
Lin Yu wasn't worried at all that Shen Jiuyi would run away.
So.
He simply went along with Shen Jiuyi's wishes, left the warehouse, and returned to the auction site.
The round trip, plus the time delayed in between, was only about half an hour in total.
Disappearing for such a short while didn't attract everyone's attention.
After all, at the scene.
There were two people who knew Lin Yu's capabilities very well.
If he had gone off to do something bad.
It was impossible for him to finish and come back in such a short time.
Therefore.
When they returned to the scene, only Shen Buyao casually asked:
"Big Cow, why did you two talk for so long? What were you chatting about?"
"Are Rongrong's family affairs really so messy that it's worth you guys talking until now?"
Huang Feirong poked Shen Buyao's arm in dissatisfaction and added:
"Tch, Yaoyao, they might be talking about you behind your back!"
"You're being schemed against, yet you're acting like nothing is wrong."
Huang Feirong's casual remark hit the nail right on the head.
It made Shen Jiuyi subconsciously avert her gaze, not knowing how to reply.
Having just experienced the thrilling incident in the warehouse.
Staying as calm as usual wasn't that easy.
Knowing full well that she might say the wrong thing.
Shen Jiuyi preferred to choose silence.
Even if being silent might look a bit strange, at least it wouldn't expose any flaws.
At the crucial moment.
Lin Yu spoke up:
"That's right, we were talking about Yaoyao. Discussing how to sell her off to another city so the two of us can join forces and take over the Wubao Pavilion."
As soon as these words came out.
Everyone at the scene burst into laughter.
After the laughter subsided, Huang Feirong awkwardly held up her phone to Lin Yu and said:
"Dayu, my older female cousin just sent me a WeChat message..."
with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack. Unable to use active skills. Fortunately, with each level gained, he acquired a new passive skill. And so, armed with a body full of passives, Liu Xuan slaughtered his way through the battlefield of ten thousand races! [You attacked Liu Xuan] [You gained the debuffs: 'Poison', 'Fear', 'Burning', 'Bleeding', 'Freeze', 'Silence', etc.] [Your attack speed has been reduced by 99%] [Your armor and magic resistance have been reduced by 99%] Warriors of the Ten Thousand Races: How the hell am I supposed to fight this?!
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!! (Pure love 1v1, light-hearted, no angst, single female lead, villain, reincarnation, lackey)
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.
