Xiang Tiange wanted to backtrack and find a reasonable excuse for what she had just said.
But once words like that were spoken...
It seemed that no matter what excuse she found, it would sound like a forced explanation.
"Lin Yu, actually, I was just afraid that you would... here..."
"Isn't Xiao Chi still upstairs?"
"If she found out, how would I explain it!"
"I'd die of embarrassment! My reputation would be ruined!"
"That's why I had a moment of madness..."
"Ugh!!"
"Just pretend I never said anything, okay?"
Xiang Tiange was out of ideas.
She simply blurted out everything she was thinking.
Whether Lin Yu believed it or not, at least it would make him feel a little bit of her sincerity.
When watching anime, her absolute least favorite trope was the misunderstanding.
And she definitely didn't want a misunderstanding to happen to her.
Right now.
The only thing she could do was try her best to explain clearly and reduce the possibility of any misunderstanding.
Lin Yu looked at Xiang Tiange with a face full of regret and said:
"Ah?"
"You were just saying it casually?"
"I didn't misunderstand anything. I can guess exactly what you're thinking!"
"You made me really think I had a chance to go to your house. I haven't been there yet..."
Xiang Tiange blinked her big eyes and asked, blushing:
"You... you really didn't misunderstand me?"
Lin Yu held up three fingers: "Absolutely true."
Xiang Tiange: "You're a puppy if you're lying!"
Lin Yu raised the fingers he had just put down: "I'm a dog if I'm lying!"
Looking at Lin Yu's bright, genuinely sincere eyes.
Xiang Tiange finally felt relieved.
She quickly pulled away from Lin Yu and straightened her messy clothes.
Then.
She took out her phone and tapped away at the screen...
"Ding-dong!"
Lin Yu's WeChat notification rang.
He opened it to look.
Xiang Tiange had sent an address, accurate right down to the house number!
This message carried quite a deep meaning!
"Ahem..."
"Student Lin Yu!"
"Before night falls, please tuck away your wolf fur and try hard to be an upright, good person."
Xiang Tiange put her hands behind her back.
And gave Lin Yu a deadpan lecture.
After speaking.
She ran quickly to the door.
Afraid that Lin Yu would chase after her and use his soft and tender technique on her again.
So scary, so scary!
The feeling of not being able to muster any strength at all was truly terrifying.
Like a big white goose on a chopping block, waiting at any moment for Lin Yu's butcher knife.
Lin Yu stood up with a smile, put his phone away, and said:
"Alright, alright, the werewolf can only act at night, right?"
"My honorable Seer, let's hurry up and regroup with your good friend, the Witch."
Hearing this.
Xiang Tiange suddenly felt a wave of relief.
As she left, she didn't forget to take a picture of the dance studio.
The space was so big, there were so many Otaku dances she could choose from.
She definitely had to pick a good one when she got home tonight, so Lin Yu could film her looking absolutely beautiful!
...
Upstairs, in the gaming room.
"You guys didn't sneak off to have an affair, did you?"
"You were wandering around for so long!"
Seeing Lin Yu and Goose return, Xiao Chi couldn't help but tease them directly.
Normally.
Xiang Tiange would have shot back a retort without hesitation.
But having just experienced a passionate kiss with Lin Yu...
And now being asked this by Xiao Chi.
For a moment.
Xiang Tiange couldn't help but blush. She held back a retort for a long time but simply couldn't get the words out.
Lin Yu took it all in.
Tsk tsk tsk.
And here he thought Goose was actually really bold.
It seemed a little girl was still a little girl after all.
How could he just leave her standing there in embarrassment?
At the critical moment.
Lin Yu had to step in!
"You still have the mind to tease others?"
"Xiao Chi, did I only bring this few snacks?"
"We were only gone for a little while, and you're almost full!"
Dealing with Xiao Chi.
Didn't require any special tricks at all.
As long as the topic shifted to food, she wouldn't be able to think about anything else.
"I did not!"
"It's obviously because Little Lin only brought a tiny bit of snacks, hehe."
"Eh? Didn't we say we were going to play games together?"
"Let's hurry up and find a game to play!"
"Don't mind those boring details."
"Goose, come sit over here, these two beanbag chairs are super comfortable!"
Chi Qingchi felt a twinge of guilt at being called out.
So she quickly changed the subject and steered the conversation back to gaming.

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...

lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become. PS: Zhou Hai in the first chapter is not the protagonist.

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
