[Ding!]
[A brilliant move! The Saint's proactive approach has left the Astrology Pavilion Elder's heart in disarray!]

Shen Jiuyi: "!!!"
Ever since they finished dinner and started watching the movie,
Shen Jiuyi felt her heartbeat gradually accelerating, completely beyond her control.
The composed expression on her face was entirely feigned.
After all,
she had been wearing a poker face for years.
Pretending wasn't that difficult for her.
Her great-grandmother had once said that she needed to keep her heart as calm as still water to safely navigate the turbulent first half of her life and avoid falling into her destined tribulation.
Shen Jiuyi had always kept her great-grandmother's words in mind.
Now,
not only had the tribulation her great-grandmother spoke of come to pass,
but even though Shen Jiuyi wanted to resist, she couldn't escape the interference of her dreams.
She chose to use a direct, extreme method to resolve her own confusion.
Shen Jiuyi didn't know if her choice was right...
She only knew that
right now, she felt more flustered than anything, not as resistant as she had imagined.
Lin Yu was right...
Her purpose for coming here tonight was clear.
So why keep deliberately maintaining distance, waiting for Lin Yu to "call the shots"?
Lin Yu was willing to be the "tool" to help her solve her problem.
Perhaps she should be a bit more proactive herself, to make what was about to happen less awkward.
In the movies...
that's how it's always done, right?
It was true that Shen Jiuyi liked zombie movies.
But that didn't mean she only watched one genre.
In a sense,
her range of viewing exceeded even the King of Dirty Jokes!
She was only slightly less experienced than the film-savvy Maomao.
Shen Jiuyi stood up, her expression shifting as she looked over at Lin Yu.
Lin Yu: "???"
Noticing Shen Jiuyi's gaze, Lin Yu's heart genuinely skipped a beat.
Wasn't this just about sitting closer to watch the movie?
What did this resolute look in her eyes mean?
It was as if she had made some firm decision.
Was something as simple as closing the distance something that required such a huge resolve in Shen Jiuyi's mind?
Well, as long as the outcome was good.
Lin Yu made room on the side closer to the wall.
His meaning was clear.
He wanted Shen Jiuyi to sit on the side near the headboard, while he would sit a bit closer to the foot of the bed.
Unexpectedly,
after walking over, Shen Jiuyi directly took off her slippers and climbed onto the other side of the bed.
Leaning against the headboard, using a pillow for back support, she half-reclined.
Lin Yu: "!!!"
Just a moment ago, she was unbearably reserved, and now she's completely at ease?
Just how much resolve did that take?!
Naturally, Lin Yu didn't know that Shen Jiuyi had just made a major decision in her heart.
Since things were developing smoothly, he was happy to see it.
What was even more interesting was that Shen Jiuyi, after getting settled, actually turned the question back on Lin Yu:
"This is the comfortable way to watch, right? No need to sit down there."
Lin Yu: "???"
Alright, alright.
This move genuinely caught Lin Yu off guard.
Putting on a brave face, huh?
Fine!
Let's see if Shen Jiuyi had truly figured things out and was planning to completely let her guard down.
Lin Yu went with the flow and leaned against the other side as well, even opening the nearby summer quilt and draping it over both of their legs.
If this were before,
such an intimate gesture would undoubtedly have made Shen Jiuyi uncomfortable.
Whether from her facial reaction or her body language, some signs would have been visible.
But this time...
Shen Jiuyi showed no reaction at all?
As if what Lin Yu had done was the most ordinary little thing.
Oh ho?
Lin Yu was genuinely surprised.
He hadn't expected Shen Jiuyi to truly adopt a new attitude.
How did she manage it?
To suddenly understand such a significant principle in such a short time!
It seemed that even if Lin Yu proposed something even harder to accept now, Shen Jiuyi would no longer feel any aversion.
"This movie is a bit scary to watch, isn't it?"
"How about... we change to a different movie?"
Lin Yu asked tentatively.
Changing the atmosphere first was the way to achieve his goal, step by step.
Watching a zombie film...
really didn't help set the mood!
What if, in the heat of the moment, he glanced over...
and saw a bald zombie...
How utterly unlucky would that be?
What's the difference between that and watching that and accidentally seeing your bald boss at the wrong moment?
To avoid awkward situations, prevention was naturally best.
Anyway, judging by Shen Jiuyi's current state, as long as Lin Yu's conditions weren't too excessive, they were worth a try.
Just as Lin Yu had anticipated.
Shen Jiuyi said straightforwardly:
"No problem, you can watch whatever you like."
"If you want to set the mood, putting on an adult film is fine too."
Lin Yu: "!!!"
Huh?
What on earth happened in that moment just now?
What's going on?
Such a liberation of his natural instincts genuinely left Lin Yu somewhat unprepared.
It wasn't that Lin Yu didn't want to respond, he was just a bit stunned and didn't know how to continue the conversation.
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)

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!

e school belle recognized by the whole school, a genius girl from the kendo club. She also has a hidden identity, the youngest legendary demon hunter. Chen Shuo just transmigrated and found himself turned into a weak, helpless little vampire. He was caught by Su Xiyen and taken home at the very beginning. Since then, Chen Shuo's life creed only had two items. "First, classmate Su Xiyen is always right." "Second, if classmate Su Xiyen is wrong, please refer back to item one." Many years later, Chen Shuo, who had turned back into a human, led a pair of twins to appear in front of all the vampires to share the secret of how he turned back into a human. "It's simple, I tricked a female demon hunter into becoming my wife!"
