As soon as those words were spoken, everyone’s attention turned toward the person who had just arrived.
Who else could it be but Lin Yu?
Chi Qingchi suddenly felt her nose sting, and quickly sniffed hard.
When someone is in a fit of rage and a trustworthy person suddenly appears—someone who lets them finally lower their guard—their nose just can’t help but sting.
The fact that Little Chi hadn’t immediately shed a few little pearls was already a sign of impressive restraint.
“Little Lin, you… what are you doing here?”
Chi Qingchi paused, then spoke in a pitiful, aggrieved voice.
If there hadn’t been other people around, she really wanted to say:
Little Lin, what took you so long? Boo-hoo!
“We’re all family here. Am I not allowed to come by and take a look?”
“Well, look at you two sisters. Something happens and you don’t even tell me?”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. Both of you have really grown wings, haven’t you?”
As Lin Yu spoke, he ruffled Little Chi’s hair.
At the same time, his gaze swept over Chi Qingshui, Lv Rou, Wu Chuntian, and the others.
Whenever he looked at one of them, that person guiltily avoided his eyes.
Chi Qingshui looked suspiciously at Lv Rou and Wu Chuntian.
Chi Qingshui: “???”
The meaning in her eyes was obvious:
You two told Lin Yu?
Lv Rou and Wu Chuntian both waved their hands and shook their heads.
The two of them had assumed that Chi Qingshui had realized the situation was turning bad and contacted Lin Yu herself.
Just as Chi Qingshui was wondering what was going on, she spotted two familiar figures behind Lv Rou and Wu Chuntian.
Chi Qingshui froze again.
“???”
Ying’er? Maomao?
What were they doing here?
Lin Yu released Little Chi, then reached over and turned Elder Chi’s head toward the back.
“Stop looking. It wasn’t Lv Rou or Wu Chuntian who sent me a message.”
“I wouldn’t have known what was happening if I hadn’t run into Glasses!”
“Elder Chi, are you treating me like an outsider?”
Lin Yu’s question carried a meaningful edge.
Elder Chi looked both aggrieved and nervous.
“No!”
“H-how could I?”
“I just thought… we could handle it ourselves.”
In front of other people, Elder Chi was always “mighty and imposing.”
But in front of Lin Yu, she had long since lost the pride she once possessed.
At most, a little tsundere attitude remained.
The reason she hadn’t informed Lin Yu about the matter was simply that she didn’t want to trouble him.
She had planned to have everything resolved by the time Lin Yu arrived.
Who could have known that Zou Kai and the others would be so unreasonable?
They were all students from the same college. How could they possibly be this determined to make things difficult?
Ding!
Urgent mission issued!
Spirit Vein Contest: The twin sisters of the sect have left the sect and entered the mortal world in search of a rare spirit vein. However, the secret location of the spirit vein has been discovered by evil entities. Sect Holy Son, please assist the twin sisters in repelling the evil entities!
Tsk, tsk, tsk.
After hearing the system’s voice, Lin Yu became even more enthusiastic.
An urgent mission triggered jointly by the twins?
The reward would be doubled!
As for the evil entities…
Just hearing the name, they sounded far less impressive than the Formless Owl, the Outer Path Demon, or the Sea of Fire Demon.
They sounded more like some random name picked up off the roadside.
At the same time, several male college students behind Zou Kai moved closer.
They gathered around Zou Kai and began whispering among themselves.
“Brother Kai, that’s Lin Yu—the guy who won the gold medal for the anime club!”
“We watched his videos together on Bilibili a couple of days ago!”
“Damn, I didn’t expect him to be in the same group as the twins. I guess it makes sense. Chi Qingchi is in the anime club too.”
“Damn, why is this guy surrounded by beauties? And there are two cute ones behind him too!”
“I really want to slap him twice. Look at that smug, womanizing attitude!”
“…”
Zou Kai shook his head, signaling them to keep their voices down.
Even without their confirmation, he had recognized Lin Yu himself.
Damn it!
Over the past few days, clips of Lin Yu had been everywhere in the university group chats.
People were constantly discussing this or that about him.
How could he not recognize the guy?
Even though he recognized Lin Yu, Zou Kai refused to give him any satisfaction over being famous.
So he put on an air of righteous confusion and loudly pretended not to know him.
“I thought this was an all-girls group. At least a guy finally showed up.”
“Who are you? What position do you hold?”
Lin Yu almost lost his composure.
Well, look at this photography class monitor—what an impressive official he was!
And what the hell did he mean by “what position”?
There was really no way to compete with these naturally gifted show-offs…
“Hello, classmate. Unless something unexpected has happened, I believe I’m not a plant. I’m a person.”
“Who are you?”
“A cactus?”
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.

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?

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...
