Lin Yu remained calm and rational.
He didn’t rush to break the palm-to-palm contact all at once. Instead, he moved closer little by little, slowly sliding his fingers until their fingers gradually intertwined.
Until…
Only after Chi Qingchi took his hand first did Lin Yu contentedly return the gesture.
Tsk, tsk, tsk.
The movie was filled with nothing but funeral-bell-like music. The scenes were gloomy to the point of being unsettling.
Yet the way the two of them felt was completely different from the movie. They had entirely detached themselves from it.
To be able to feel the warmth of each other’s palms in such a quiet environment…
An opportunity like this was hard to come by!
Lin Yu also discovered another difference between the two sisters…
Their hands!
Little Chi’s hand was softer.
There wasn’t much difference in size compared with Elder Chi’s.
But her palm was truly soft.
Like a toned-down cat paw!
It felt wonderful to squeeze, and was incredibly satisfying to touch.
If only those little hands…
Emmmm…
Lin Yu turned his head to glance at Little Chi.
“!!!”
At that moment, Little Chi was staring at him with wide, expectant eyes, making no attempt to hide it.
Her eyes were clear and utterly guileless, as though they could see straight through a person’s heart.
Lin Yu, who had just been letting his imagination run wild, was genuinely startled.
His powers of observation had long since surpassed those of an ordinary person.
If someone beside him made even the slightest movement—
turning their head, turning around, or something similar—
he should have noticed it in advance.
But Little Chi?
Could she make him “break character” too?
How had Lin Yu failed to notice her movement at all?
Damn it!
His instinctive reaction after being startled was to look away.
But once he realized he had given himself away, didn’t that mean he had handed the initiative over to Little Chi?
Chi Qingchi said, “Little Lin, your expression just now was so wicked.”
Lin Yu: “…”
Sure enough.
If he gave Little Chi the chance to speak first, there was absolutely no telling what she might say.
What could he do now?
He could only play dumb.
“Wicked? Don’t tease me.”
“What expression did I have just now? I was just watching the movie normally, wasn’t I?”
Chi Qingchi not only refused to let him get away with it, but launched into an all-out attack.
With the little hand that wasn’t holding his, she pointed at their joined hands.
“Your expression has been wicked ever since you took my hand.”
“So this is what boys are really thinking…”
“Just holding hands is enough to make you start imagining all that?”
Lin Yu: “…”
The atmosphere had been rather heartfelt.
But after Little Chi put it that way…
It had gone straight from heartfelt to lustful!
Though Lin Yu could be impatient when it came to romance, he wasn’t that shamelessly eager.
He had spent all this time trying to create a beautiful atmosphere.
And yet—
Little Chi had dragged the conversation straight into the gutter.
Even so, while she was saying all that, she still didn’t let go of his hand.
That meant what had just happened hadn’t made her particularly defensive.
So what exactly was she trying to accomplish?
Lin Yu considered himself capable of guessing the thoughts of the girls around him with reasonable accuracy.
But when it came to Little Chi, he truly couldn’t figure her out at all.
“People with dirty minds see dirt everywhere.”
“I was just a little… nervous.”
“How could holding hands possibly make me think of all that stuff?”
Lin Yu began protesting his innocence again.
Unexpectedly, in the very next moment, Chi Qingchi tightened her grip on his hand and said, completely out of the blue:
“To be honest, I feel like my heart is beating faster than usual right now.”
“My face also feels warmer than usual, and my heart feels a little… strange.”
“Little Lin, am I going to be like the girls in the comics…”

Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress?

Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
