Choosing to Confront Face-to-Face, Turning on the Lights Late at Night

Half an hour later.

The car smoothly pulled into an open-air marked parking space at the entrance of the Yongan residential neighborhood.

Since he didn't know the exact location of Huang Feiya's home, he could only temporarily park the car by the side of the road.

The designated driver, having already been paid, tactfully got out and left, not wanting to disturb their alone time.

Feeling the weight on his shoulder slightly shifting toward the empty side, Lin Yu knew that Huang Feiya was about to put on another performance of waking up.

Thus, Lin Yu took the initiative to speak first:

"Feiya, we are already at your door."

"How much longer are you going to pretend to be asleep?"

Lin Yu's calm exposure left Huang Feiya particularly shocked.

She thought she hadn't shown any flaws.

How could Lin Yu see right through her so easily?

Especially since he said it directly, making her feel somewhat awkward.

She fell into hesitation.

Should she get up now and admit she was indeed faking it?

Or should she hold her ground and pretend not to understand what Lin Yu was doing?

Anyway, Lin Yu didn't have any proof that she was faking it, right...

Probably not?

After a brief thought of a dozen seconds, Huang Feiya still chose to sit up and face it.

She sat up, smoothing her messy hair, and said uncertainly:

"I am impressed once again. You actually saw through it..."

"I thought I was acting pretty well. When did you figure it out?"

Lin Yu deliberately said:

"Just now."

"I was just testing the waters with that sentence, thinking what if you were faking it?"

"Wow, your acting is really too good. I didn't see a single flaw!"

Huang Feiya: "..."

A wave of annoyance instantly rose in Huang Feiya's heart.

Regardless of how confident Lin Yu was in his test, it meant he had no way to judge whether she was truly asleep or not.

However, Huang Feiya did not regret her choice.

There was nothing to regret about things already chosen and decisions already made.

This had always been Huang Feiya's code of conduct.

She just asked Lin Yu with a hint of unease:

"So that's how it is..."

"Do you think I am a very scheming woman now?"

"Do you think everything that happened in the car just now... was fake?"

In reality, nothing much had happened in the car.

The two of them just had a bit of physical contact and exchanged a few glances.

There was no conversation and no further story.

But Huang Feiya still wanted to confirm if Lin Yu felt the same way she did.

Sometimes, communication isn't verbal.

Even just a single meeting of the eyes can convey a lot of information.

If the fake sleeping incident made Lin Yu feel that everything was an act without any genuine emotion, Huang Feiya would feel quite disappointed deep down.

It was a pity, though.

Huang Feiya didn't know that with the help of his system, Lin Yu almost never made errors in judgment.

Even after confirming that Huang Feiya was faking sleep, Lin Yu's impression of her didn't change much.

When pursuing the opposite sex, who doesn't put in a little thought and effort?

Expressing everything completely straightforwardly wouldn't achieve the desired effect.

It was just that Huang Feiya's opponent was Lin Yu; she had run into a master she couldn't fool.

Lin Yu shook his head and replied:

"Not at all."

"Today also let me get to know a different side of you."

"It is getting late, hurry back and rest."

"If you want to move the car, do it tomorrow. Don't touch the wheel at all after drinking."

Saying that, Lin Yu opened the car door and stepped out.

A smile returned to Huang Feiya's face. She followed him out of the car and said:

"I was supposed to take you home, but it ended up being you taking me."

"Next time I won't drink, and I will definitely get you home safely."

"It seems the TV dramas aren't entirely right either. Even if a woman drinks, a man might not necessarily have a chance."

"It all depends on whether the man has any ideas!"

It had to be said, Huang Feiya knew how to summarize things.

Where is there such a thing as losing control after drinking?

It is all just premeditated.

It was just that today, Lin Yu didn't have any improper thoughts about Huang Feiya.

...

At night.

Lin Yu returned to his apartment alone.

He tried to be light on his feet so as not to wake the others.

At this hour, everyone should be asleep.

But upon entering, Lin Yu actually made an unexpected discovery.

The lights in the large first-floor living room were off, but the kitchen light was still on?

At this time of night, could there still be someone who hasn't eaten?
