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.
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
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?!
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
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)
