"Weiwei, come downstairs after you find your things."
"I'll go downstairs first to chat with Uncle Xia. It wouldn't be good if we stay up here the whole time..."
While closing the door, Lin Yu didn't forget to put on a bit of an act.
He deliberately emphasized that Weiwei was in the room "looking for something"!
Words like these were obviously meant for anyone else listening.
Wang Ran couldn't help but curl her lips into a smile.
Did he really have to put on this deliberate performance, knowing full well she could see right through it at a glance?
As expected of a male college student's way of doing things.
So to speak.
When he first arrived at the house, that arrogant, defiant attitude was actually all an act, wasn't it?
Of course, if you're going to put on a show, you have to go all out.
Lin Yu pretended not to notice Wang Ran, closed the door, and prepared to walk forward.
It was only after coming face-to-face with her that he revealed a look of surprise.
"Little Auntie? Why did you come up here?"
"I remember your room is over there, could it be..."
"Heh heh, Little Auntie!"
"Don't tell me you were trying to eavesdrop on what Weiwei and I were doing in the room?"
"So you actually have this kind of fetish!"
Lin Yu lowered his voice as he spoke, stepping right up to Wang Ran.
Relying on his height advantage, he attempted to give her a sense of oppression.
When people are flustered, they often lose their ability to think rationally.
Lin Yu wanted to see a look of panic on Wang Ran's face.
Even if it was just a little bit.
It would make it easier for him to excuse himself and divert attention away from the scene.
It seemed that ever since Lin Yu met Wang Ran.
She had always carried this scheming, calculating demeanor.
No action or words could cause her any substantial harm.
After all, Lin Yu had read countless people and dealt with many women.
How could he be defeated so easily?
What a pity.
This time, he had truly met a formidable opponent!
Wang Ran looked at the beads of sweat hanging on Lin Yu's forehead and his flushed face that had yet to cool down.
Even without hearing the noises from inside the room.
From all the subtle clues, she could still guess exactly what a man and a woman were hiding in a room doing.
It's great to be young.
Having an endless supply of stamina to squander.
The battle had just ended.
Yet now he looked as if nothing had happened.
Sigh.
Back when she chose to be with Xia Zhenfeng, Wang Ran had given up on another way of enjoying life.
There was nothing to regret.
Her satisfaction in material life had already surpassed that of far too many people.
Wang Ran didn't expose Lin Yu directly; instead, she spoke with deep meaning:
"Still trying to keep up this act in front of me?"
"I was young once too, do you think I don't understand your current state?"
"But there's nothing for it, you don't have time to take a shower."
"The new guests have arrived, you two need to hurry downstairs."
"If it were Shanshan coming up to call you, it wouldn't be so easy to bluff your way through."
"Right?"
"Heh heh..."
After saying that, Wang Ran didn't give Lin Yu a chance to retort and turned straight around to leave.
As she left, she deliberately stuck close to the wall and disappeared into the outdoor staircase passage.
Lin Yu felt a sense of relief, yet also a massive headache coming on.
In front of an old fox, you really couldn't hide any secrets.
With Wang Ran pulling this move.
Didn't that mean he now owed her a favor!
The hints in her words just now couldn't have been more obvious.
If it weren't for her, the one coming up would have been Sister Curator.
And now she was going back via the outdoor stairs.
This showed she was covering up the fact that they were in the upstairs bedroom.
This woman...
What exactly was she trying to do?
Was she really this tolerant toward a couple that had offended her?
Or could it be that she wasn't actually a bad person to begin with?
And everything was just because Weiwei treated her as an imaginary enemy?
Lin Yu didn't dwell on it.
Anyway, he wouldn't have much contact with Wang Ran in the future.
Weiwei was incredibly bold, giving Lin Yu a whole new understanding of her today.
For the sake of his own safety.
It would be best to do less of this fake-couple-visiting-home business in the future.
It was far too easy to get firmly tied down with no way to back out!
Marrying young was a massive taboo for the Holy Son of a sect!
Lin Yu turned around, preparing to go back into the room to check on Weiwei first.
Xia Yiwei had actually tidied herself up very quickly.
Before Lin Yu could even open the door to go back in, she slipped out from inside.
"Where is that stupid bitch?"
"I just heard her voice, how did she leave so quickly?"
"Did she make things difficult for you?"
Xia Yiwei looked around for her, speaking fiercely.
ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"
he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them.

Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.
