The Five-Day Bet Ends, Revealing the Secret

However.

She couldn't show her nervous side in front of Lin Yu.

Ever since she first appeared before Lin Yu, she had maintained the image of a calm, collected, and mature woman.

She was used to being seen this way.

How could she easily break the status quo?

If she wanted to win Lin Yu over, Huang Feiya had to take the initiative herself.

Lin Yu wasn't going to reveal any flaws.

Huang Feiya steadied her mind, enduring her numb arm while thinking for a good while.

Making sure Lin Yu's attention was fully on the movie and not observing her.

Only then did Huang Feiya make her next move...

She naturally pulled her hand back and placed her hands folded on her lap.

To accommodate Huang Feiya's movement, Lin Yu had to lean closer to one side of his seat.

Extending his elbow toward the inner side of Huang Feiya's seat.

This effectively bypassed the obstacle between them, leaving half his body leaning toward her.

Lin Yu: "!!!"

What was going on?

Did she suddenly gain experience?

Such a perfect, ambiguous couple's move in a movie theater—it was hard to believe Huang Feiya hadn't rehearsed this beforehand!

Lin Yu was especially glad he hadn't adjusted his posture just now.

At least for now, the initiative was still in his hands, and he wouldn't be led by the nose by Huang Feiya.

Playing the role of a green, innocent college student was exactly what he needed to do right now.

"Popcorn... do you want some?"

With her free hand, Huang Feiya brought the popcorn over and rested it on her lap.

Lin Yu took a slight glance.

The dim lighting, the short, tight-fitting skirt.

Tsk!

This was truly a massive test of his self-control.

If they were just normal friends, Lin Yu probably wouldn't think too much about it.

The difficult part of this situation was knowing full well that the other party was being very proactive.

And she would be more than happy to see him be just as proactive.

As a result.

Even the tiniest wicked thoughts in his heart would be infinitely magnified.

When she was so open to it, how many rounds could a grown man like him last?

At this moment.

Lin Yu quite regretted agreeing to this bet.

He knew very well that he wasn't a man with a high level of self-restraint.

He had just blindly agreed to the bet with a mindset of not wanting to lose.

It was like adding an obstacle to test his own humanity.

Not being able to eat wasn't the uncomfortable part.

Seeing it but not being able to eat it was the real torture.

"Sure, do you usually like drinking ice-cold cola?"

"I saw you didn't even pick earlier, and I wanted to ask if you'd prefer milk tea."

Lin Yu pinched two pieces of popcorn, chatting casually.

Huang Feiya immediately replied:

"Are you trying to ask if I can drink cold things right now?"

"I can drink them today."

Lin Yu paused mid-chew: "???"

Heaven knows.

This time he was genuinely just making casual conversation and hadn't thought about all that.

But going by Huang Feiya's interpretation...

Lin Yu's attempt to change the subject really did sound a bit like that!

"You misunderstood, I really didn't mean it that way."

"I just rarely see a girl who shares the same preferences as me."

Huang Feiya's mouth moved faster than her brain as she asked:

"Lin Yu, you're really good with words."

"Do you usually talk to every girl like this?"

Lin Yu: "???"

Hearing this, Lin Yu was stunned on the spot again.

What was going on?

What a sharp jab!

Wasn't she trying to pursue him?

How could she say something so blunt and offensive?

Seeing Lin Yu's reaction, Huang Feiya also realized she had misspoken.

With Huang Feiya's excellent personal qualifications and wealthy family background.

Over the years, there had been no shortage of men with ulterior motives around her.

Dealing with the people around her so much, she had formed a habitual way of speaking.

Her quick response just now was completely subconscious, without much thought at all.

Thinking about it carefully.

What guy would want to hear something like that?

She really was so stupid!

Huang Feiya quickly tried to salvage the situation, saying:

"I'm just joking with you, don't take it so seriously."

It would have been better if she hadn't said that; saying it only made Lin Yu feel even more awkward.

He really wanted to pull his hand back and throw a couple of harsh words at Huang Feiya...

Alright, alright, stop pursuing me!

Let's start keeping our distance from now on!

But showing even the slightest bit of displeasure would probably look like he was triggered in Huang Feiya's eyes.

Lin Yu could only grit his teeth and silently swallow his frustration.

To ease the awkward atmosphere, Huang Feiya started talking about the movie.

The high school life in the first half of the movie, especially the scenes of the male and female leads secretly crushing on each other, felt nostalgic without losing its authenticity.

Huang Feiya couldn't help but talk about her own high school life:

"This movie is shot very realistically. Back in our high school, we all wore blue and white uniforms."

"It was like there was a natural boundary between male and female students."

"If you spoke a couple of extra words with a classmate of the opposite sex, or went home together after school."

"The next day, there would definitely be rumors spreading that the two of you were together."

"It was fine if you didn't explain; people might just talk about it for a couple of days and then stop."

"If you explained too much, you'd easily get locked in, and everyone would really think you were together."

Mentioning Huang Feiya's high school life reminded Lin Yu of something...

Huang Feiya bullying her sister, Huang Feirong!

From Shen Jiuyi, Lin Yu had learned what might be the true picture of the incident.

But what exactly happened back then, the person involved would definitely know best.

Lin Yu hesitated to speak, organizing his words in his mind.

Pondering how to find a way to naturally bring up the matter without hurting their harmony.

Curiosity killed the cat!

Lin Yu really wanted to know how Huang Feiya would talk about this.

"Feiya, I heard you and Sister Rongrong went to the same high school?"

Huang Feiya nodded and said calmly:

"That's right, and I'm sure you've heard more than just that, haven't you?"

Lin Yu didn't answer, simply remaining silent.

When chatting with a smart person, there's no need for so much nonsense.

At least judging from Huang Feiya's reaction, Lin Yu hadn't offended her.

"Lin Yu, I have a question, and I hope you can answer me seriously."

"Do you think the 'me' you've seen so far is someone who would have been cruel to her own sister during adolescence?"

Lin Yu shook his head and said:

"No, anyway, I can't imagine that kind of scene."

"In my heart, I also feel that you aren't that kind of person."

"I also believe Sister Yaoyao wouldn't lie to me, and the real scenes she saw were exactly as she described."

"There must be some misunderstanding in all this, right?"

Huang Feiya's eyes trembled slightly as she said:

"Thank you. Thank you for being willing to believe me."

"Whether it counts as a misunderstanding, I don't know how to say."

"How about I keep you in suspense for now?"

"Once our five-day bet is over, I'll seriously tell you the story of Rongrong and me."

Since she didn't want to talk about it now, Lin Yu naturally wouldn't force her.

Forcing someone to reveal a secret hidden in their heart was never Lin Yu's usual style.
