Lin Yu stopped in his tracks, looking at Xia Yiwei with a conflicted expression.
He didn't say he would go, nor did he say he wouldn't.
In that brief moment, he repeatedly weighed the pros and cons in his mind.
Xia Yiwei seized the pause, immediately pressing close to Lin Yu and wrapping her arms around his.
"Hehe, so Little Master also has things he's afraid of?"
"As my boyfriend, going to my room to hang out for a bit shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"Are you worried my dad will overthink it, or my sister?"
Lin Yu: "..."
Weiwei's angle of questioning was incredibly tricky.
It completely cut off Lin Yu's retreat.
It seemed inappropriate to admit to either worry!
Didn't that leave only one choice?
Lin Yu feigned calmness and said,
"What am I afraid of?"
"Did you hide a bomb in your room or something?"
"Anyway, since the guest Uncle Xia is waiting for hasn't arrived yet, I suppose we can go sit for a while."
As soon as he finished speaking.
Xia Yiwei couldn't wait to drag Lin Yu upstairs.
She deliberately chose the outdoor stairs instead of going through the main hall.
It was as if she didn't want to be seen by the people inside.
This secretive route gave Lin Yu a slight start.
He couldn't help but ask himself again:
No way, right?
The nurse sister couldn't be this crazy, could she?
The two arrived upstairs near the corridor.
Xia Yiwei waved her hand, signaling Lin Yu to press against the wall as they walked.
Lin Yu threw his hands up, his face full of question marks.
???
What did this mean?
If the people downstairs saw them, so be it!
Didn't you just say we were boyfriend and girlfriend?
Why are we acting like we're having an illicit affair!
"Don't let them see us, Little Master. Come closer, shh!"
Xia Yiwei urged him in a low voice while reminding him not to make a sound.
Lin Yu: "..."
Bad, this is bad.
He had thought too little about this when he agreed to come up.
Sneaking around behind people's backs definitely meant nothing good!
But things had already come to this.
If he backed out now, wouldn't he look like a coward?
Furthermore.
Maybe Xia Yiwei was deliberately creating this atmosphere just to see him get scared and make a fool of himself.
The more he thought about it, the more he refused to let Xia Yiwei get her way.
Lin Yu simply mimicked Xia Yiwei's movements, pressing against the wall and slowly edging forward.
According to the direction Xia Yiwei pointed, her bedroom was two doors down from where Lin Yu was standing.
As they slowly passed through the corridor, they could clearly hear the chatting from the main hall.
Lei Siren was babbling non-stop, trying to find topics to close the distance between him and Xia Zhenfeng.
But apart from Xia Zhenfeng's occasional "hmm" or "oh," Lei Siren was basically talking to himself.
Even so.
Lei Siren still didn't stop churning out topics.
If he stopped and let the conversation die, the atmosphere would only become more awkward.
Normally.
The warm and hospitable Xia Xiashan might have chimed in to ease the awkwardness.
It seemed Lei Siren's performance had angered her quite a bit too.
She had no intention of interjecting at all.
Regardless of whether the scene was lively, as long as there was a conversation going on, it was fine.
At the very least, they wouldn't focus their attention on the two of them upstairs.
Even though Lin Yu hadn't done anything wrong, he currently felt a guilty conscience like a thief.
"Little Master, hurry up!"
Xia Yiwei had already reached the designated door and was urging Lin Yu to hurry over.
Lin Yu was much more agile than Xia Yiwei.
However, the intense nervousness made his legs feel like jelly, and he didn't dare to take large strides forward at all.
Just as he was passing the door of the room in between, an unexpected turn of events occurred...
"Click!"
The door suddenly opened.
Lin Yu: "!!!"
The unexpected noise made Lin Yu's mind go blank, and he froze on the spot.
The person standing in the room was none other than...
Shockingly, it was Wang Ran, the very person he had just rebuked not long ago!
As soon as Wang Ran opened the door and saw a figure, she subconsciously took half a step back.
From her surprised expression, it was clear that she hadn't opened the door on purpose to watch a show.
She had just wanted to come out and happened to bump into the scene unfolding before her.
Soon.
Wang Ran's expression returned to normal.
She leaned out slightly from the doorway and looked in the direction of Xia Yiwei's bedroom.
Noticing Wang Ran, Xia Yiwei quickly put on a dismissive little expression despite her panic.
Lin Yu stood at the door, caught in a dilemma of whether to leave or stay.
This was just too damn awkward!
They could have just walked over openly, but they had to sneak in secretly.
Sneaking around was bad enough, but being caught in the act by his "nemesis" made it worse.
Even the thick-skinned Lin Yu couldn't handle it, and his face instantly flushed bright red!
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?
