Meanwhile.
Inside the apartment.
Chi Qingshui returned from her outing, opened the small refrigerator, and took out some ice water.
The weather outside today was simply too hot. Going out for a bit consumed quite a lot of energy!
After taking two massive gulps, Chi Qingshui finally realized...
"Where is Little Chi? Where did she run off to now?"
When she left, Little Chi had said she was staying home to organize the video footage they had shot.
She was supposed to sort through the previously filmed material to check for any missing parts.
Yet upon returning.
There was no sign of her at all!
Chi Qingshui took out her phone and hurriedly called Little Chi.
She really wanted to see where Little Chi had run off to play like a maniac.
However.
The phone rang again and again.
But Little Chi still didn't answer.
Chi Qingshui frowned at her phone, muttering assertively:
"Well aren't you something, Little Chi, daring not to answer my call?"
"Just wait until you get back, you're going to get it!"
Chi Qingshui looked at the door, cautiously walked over to it, and deadbolted the lock.
Then.
She took out her phone again, this time calling Lin Yu.
"Beep... beep... beep... beep..."
Why isn't Lin Yu answering either?
What is he busy with right now?
Chi Qingshui thought to herself that since Little Chi wasn't in the room anyway.
Now was the perfect time for her to chat with Lin Yu and say the things she couldn't say when Little Chi was around.
Unexpectedly.
He actually wasn't answering her call either.
Just as Chi Qingshui was about to hang up, Lin Yu picked up the phone.
"Hello, wifey, miss me?"
Hearing Lin Yu's voice, Chi Qingshui's brow instantly smoothed out, and a smile crept onto the corners of her mouth.
"I most certainly did not. I just wanted to see what you were doing."
"I'm getting ready to edit some videos later and see the intimate scenes between you and the female lead."
"I needed to mock you a bit beforehand so I could feel better."
...
Inside Lin Yu's party venue.
At this moment, he had moved to an empty room, holding his phone and chatting with Chi Qingshui.
When he first saw Chi Qingshui's incoming call, Lin Yu immediately guessed that she must have returned to the apartment.
Upon returning to the apartment and finding her younger sister not at home.
Her first reaction would definitely be to call Little Chi!
There was a very small probability she would call him directly.
Lin Yu immediately made a rational judgment: he had to answer this call.
Furthermore.
He needed to let Little Chi know who was calling.
Otherwise, neither side would be able to explain things clearly.
How could it be such a coincidence that the younger sister didn't answer the phone, and Lin Yu just happened not to answer either?
Elder Chi was such a smart girl; if she made the connection, it would be huge trouble.
If even the slightest seed of doubt was planted, it would be infinitely magnified later on.
The methods Lin Yu used to deal with others naturally couldn't be allowed to backfire on himself.
Fortunately.
During their conversation, Elder Chi didn't notice anything unusual.
Nor did she link Lin Yu to her sister who wasn't answering the phone.
When Elder Chi asked what Lin Yu was doing, Lin Yu casually found an excuse to gloss over it.
He said he was mailing some things to relatives in the countryside.
Elder Chi didn't question it. She simply said a few more words and hung up the phone.
When Lin Yu returned to the dance room, Little Chi came up anxiously holding her phone and asked:
"Little Lin, how did it go? You didn't let anything slip, did you?"
"Does my sister know we're together?"
Lin Yu deliberately teased:
"When did we get together?"
"Little Chi, I treat you as a dear classmate, and you treat me as your darling?"
Being so flustered, Little Chi was in no mood to joke with Lin Yu.
She grabbed Lin Yu's arm, shaking it constantly as she said:
"Little Lin, stop teasing me at a time like this!"
"What exactly did my sister say? Does she know I'm with you?"
Lin Yu shrugged his shoulders and calmly replied:
"Do I look like someone who would betray a friend? Of course I bluffed my way through it."
"Little Chi, there's something off about you..."
Meeting Lin Yu's scrutinizing gaze, Little Chi uneasily shifted her eyes away.
She asked Lin Yu in return:
"M-me? What's off about me?"
Lin Yu seized the opportunity of Little Chi's guilty conscience and hastily interrogated her:
"Even if your sister knew you were with me, so what?"
"I'm just helping you shoot a dance video!"
"We aren't doing anything else, what's there to be afraid of saying?"
Little Chi's heart skipped a beat.
Indeed.
Following Lin Yu's train of thought, there was nothing wrong with what he said.
But the worries in Little Chi's heart absolutely could not be told to Lin Yu.
Her mind spun rapidly as she continued to defend herself:
"I just don't want my sister to know that I'm secretly filming Bilibili videos."
"Little Lin, what about you..."
"Where did your mind go?"
Lin Yu pretended to understand and nodded.
In reality, he already had his own judgment in his heart.
This girl, Little Chi, must have noticed something to be so nervous about this matter.
Lin Yu didn't insist on questioning her further and returned to the topic, asking:
"Elder Chi has been fooled for now. She even asked me just now if I had seen you."
"Little Chi, are you sure you can finish the dance?"
"I see you keep forgetting the moves. If it really doesn't work out..."
"Let's just call it a day, you still need to practice more."
Praising and humoring Little Chi for a long time didn't seem to yield any results.
So.
Lin Yu simply adopted a disdainful attitude to deliberately provoke Little Chi.
For a young girl of this age, being called a noob...
Little Chi's competitive spirit was instantly ignited.
She immediately returned to her position and puffed out her cheeks, saying to Lin Yu:
"Little Lin, give me one more chance, I'll definitely dance it perfectly in one go."
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! My sister is back, I don't have much time left!"
The previously coy Little Chi was instantly filled with fiery enthusiasm.
Lin Yu naturally wouldn't spoil the fun. He immediately readjusted the camera and entered the filming phase.
...
At six o'clock in the afternoon.
At the entrance of the restaurant.
Lin Yu got out of the taxi, his hands continuously replying to Little Chi's messages.
He really had to thank Elder Chi for that phone call. It came at exactly the right time and directly eliminated all of Little Chi's nervousness.
The subsequent filming process went incredibly smoothly.
They completed two outfit changes for the shoot with almost no difficulty.
The difficulty of the dance itself was nothing to Little Chi.
It was just her inner little emotions acting up.
Catching the deadline for the event, Little Chi was extremely happy.
Even though she was interrogated by her sister upon returning, she didn't "sell out" Lin Yu, who had helped her film.
Of course, such things couldn't be said.
Once she said it, wouldn't her sister know that Lin Yu was with her when she called?
She had to bite the bullet and cover up the lie perfectly, not revealing any flaws.
After Lin Yu finished replying to Little Chi's messages, he glanced at the time on his phone.
Fortunately.
He wasn't late; he arrived just in time for the appointment.
Given Huang Feiya's style of doing things, she should already be in the small private room, waiting for Lin Yu alone.

At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation.
