Given the current atmosphere.
Of course, he wouldn't actually put on an adult film to enhance the mood.
Many times.
Using such a direct method to spice things up.
Is a huge insult to girls with little experience.
It is as if having a real person right in front of you does not interest you at all.
And you need to rely on other means to stimulate yourself.
Doesn't that imply you cannot muster any interest in the girl sitting right in front of you?
A battle-hardened veteran and a rookie fresh on the battlefield receive completely different signals from this.
To avoid causing troublesome misunderstandings and adding unnecessary obstacles.
The best method, naturally, is to avoid touching things with unpredictable outcomes.
Lin Yu definitely wouldn't put on an adult video to set the mood.
However, this zombie movie absolutely had to be changed.
Lin Yu searched on his phone and directly used the intranet to cast it, using the TV as a monitor.
In this era, TV screencasting technology was not that mature yet.
At least, it had not reached a small city like Pingchuan yet.
Playing a movie found on a phone onto a TV required a complex set of networking procedures.
Of course.
It was only complex in the eyes of others.
For the current Lin Yu, it was not a difficult task at all.
Lin Yu chose an old, obscure art-house film, 2046.
The more elusive the plot, the better, so people would not focus their attention on the movie itself.
Although the plot of 2046 was confusing, some scenes perfectly matched the current atmosphere.
Seeing Lin Yu play a movie on the TV without using a remote control.
Shen Jiuyi asked curiously,
Did you do that with a phone app?
No wonder everyone says you are a computer expert.
2046, huh? I didn't expect you to like art films...
...and the erotic scenes in them.
Lin Yu: ...
This delayed punchline way of speaking was very much Shen Jiuyi's style.
At a glance, she was clearly not an expert at playing dumb.
Putting the main idea directly out in the open was quite a mood killer.
Lin Yu did not refute her, but instead said,
Wouldn't it be boring to just watch the action scenes without any plot?
Shen Jiuyi: ...
Noticing Lin Yu staring straight at her.
Shen Jiuyi did not immediately avert her gaze; instead, she looked back at him.
She held out for about twenty seconds.
Finally.
Shen Jiuyi regretfully admitted defeat and looked away.
How could her temporarily feigned bravado be a match for Lin Yu?
Just that one glance of evasion allowed Lin Yu to catch the signal.
It seemed.
Little Jiu was still the same Little Jiu.
Perhaps it was because she was afraid to face what was about to happen that she made herself put on an indifferent front.
Doing so could somewhat alleviate the guilt in her heart.
Lin Yu did not continue to tease Shen Jiuyi.
The groundwork had pretty much been laid...
Taking advantage of the runtime of this movie, he would personally verify just how much of an impact Shen Jiuyi's destiny and dreams had on her.
Lin Yu leaned back against the headboard.
This time.
He took the initiative to sit a little closer, almost shoulder to shoulder with Shen Jiuyi.
Shen Jiuyi seemed to have expected this.
Not only did she not resist, but she also proactively reached out and linked her arm through Lin Yu's.
She said in her usual aloof tone,
Normal couples probably watch movies like this, right?
Even though we are not a couple, does doing this make you feel a bit better?
In Shen Jiuyi's heart.
What was happening today was at her own proactive request.
Lin Yu was the one helping out, so his feelings needed to be prioritized.
As for how she herself felt during the whole process, she placed that in a secondary position.
Truth be told.
Seeing Shen Jiuyi take the initiative gave Lin Yu a unique feeling in his heart.
He looked sideways and said,
The distance is still a bit too far. Real couples would be even closer.
Hearing Lin Yu pushing his luck after already getting an advantage.
Shen Jiuyi indulged Lin Yu's behavior once again.
She adjusted her sitting posture and linked her arm even deeper.
Feeling slightly stiff, she rested her face against Lin Yu's arm.
The moment their skin touched, their body heat transferred to one another.
Lin Yu was surprised to find.
That even with the atmosphere reaching such an ambiguous stage.
Shen Jiuyi's body temperature still felt icy cold.
It seemed her constitution was very weak!
He needed to find an opportunity to properly examine Little Jiu.
Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong...
At the same time.
Shen Jiuyi's phone rang.
She took out her phone, glanced at it, and then looked at Lin Yu beside her.
Lin Yu asked curiously,
It isn't Yaoyao again, is it?
Shen Jiuyi nodded, a trace of panic flashing across her face.
No matter how hard she tried to feign calmness, when she saw Shen Buyao's incoming call, Shen Jiuyi still could not help but feel nervous.
Lin Yu leaned closer to glance at the phone screen and breathed a slight sigh of relief inwardly.
Fortunately, this time it was just a voice call, not a video call.
Lin Yu muted the TV, signaling to Shen Jiuyi that she could answer the phone.
Antique Sister sure was busy today.
She had just finished calling Lin Yu, and now it was Shen Jiuyi's turn.
Of course.
It definitely was not because she suspected any connection between the two of them that she chose to call Shen Jiuyi.
If she had noticed anything suspicious, she definitely wouldn't have been able to hide it in her tone during her phone call with Lin Yu just now.
Besides.
Right now, in Shen Buyao's eyes, Huang Feiya was her absolute number one enemy.
Everyone else.
They were completely off her radar.
Calling Shen Jiuyi was probably just to discuss some private matters between the two of them, right?
After confirming that there was no noise in the room.
Shen Jiuyi answered the call and pressed the phone to her ear.
She didn't have Lin Yu's confidence and wouldn't dare put the call on speaker.
With a girl as unpredictable as Yaoyao, it was completely impossible to guess what she might blurt out.
Judging by the call she just had with Lin Yu, Yaoyao was probably still furious.
Thinking about it for even a second, it was obvious she wasn't about to say anything pleasant!
Most likely.
She hadn't been able to talk any sense into Rongrong and ended up getting a bellyful of anger instead.
So she was calling Shen Jiuyi to harshly criticize Huang Feirong's behavior.
Otherwise.
She must have thought about Huang Feiya's attitude toward Lin Yu and couldn't contain her indignation.
She wanted to use Shen Jiuyi as a sounding board to properly vent her frustrations.
If it was the former, that would be fine.
But the latter...
What Shen Jiuyi was doing right now was far more egregious than Huang Feiya's mere words.

] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
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.
