The sound of the door closing completely put Lin Yu at ease.

Mao Rui probably didn't think that much about it; he just wanted to settle Lin Yu down first.

At least let him rest without feeling so uncomfortable.

They went out to eat with other people, and when they came back, Lin Yu drank too much by himself.

How could Mao Ruirui possibly stay out of it?

We must take on the responsibility of caring for them.

Lin Yu had seen Mao Ruirui's rest hut before.

I've never been here to rest before; this is the first time I've been brought in.

The small room contained only a single bed and a small floor lamp.

There was nothing else.

It's simple, yet it feels very reassuring.

Especially on a hot summer afternoon, having such a private little room to take a nap is wonderful.

I can't even imagine how comfortable and sweet my sleep would be!

"Xiaoyu, lie down first and rest for a while."

"I'll go get some lemonade. Do you want it with ice or at room temperature?"

Mao Ruirui asked thoughtfully.

While preparing lemon water, she also asked Lin Yu whether he wanted it iced or at room temperature.

Lin Yu isn't a woman, so of course she should drink iced drinks in the summer.

He stammered and said:

"It's icy cold, so nice... It's good, it's hot enough as it is today."

As he spoke.

Lin Yu even made a gesture of wiping sweat, but there was actually no sweat on his forehead.

Whether you're sweating or not is unimportant; what matters is that the message that it's very hot must be conveyed completely and effectively.

Mao Ruirui looked towards the door and quickly walked out:

"Okay, I'll get it done right away. Xiaoyu, don't move around. Lie down or lean back a little."

"I'll turn the air conditioner on now and it'll be cooler in a little while."

As soon as Mao Ruirui stepped out of the small house, Lin Yu's eyes quickly regained their clarity.

He took out his phone and put it on silent mode.

At times like these, it's crucial to avoid being disturbed.

Silencing your phone may seem like a small thing, but it's crucial.

In the past few days, I've had quite a few experiences where I was disturbed by my phone.

A casual date where nothing was prepared and everything depended on the situation.

There must be no interruption whatsoever, otherwise it would be a fatal disruption.

After dealing with the phone, Lin Yu rolled up his short-sleeved shirt.

Taking it off directly would seem too frivolous and revealing.

This inevitably makes Mao Ruirui feel uncomfortable, or makes her think about what might happen later.

Lifting halfway up...

Isn't it because it's too hot?

I've already emphasized that.

Not long after Mao Ruirui went out, she returned to the little house with a glass of iced lemonade.

When they came back, they didn't forget to take a chair with them.

If Lin Yu lay down on the single bed, there wouldn't be much space left for her to sit.

Standing next to Lin Yu all the time inevitably creates a sense of oppression and makes people feel uncomfortable.

Should they just go out? Mao Ruirui wasn't entirely comfortable with that.

A person who has drunk too much is very likely to vomit.

Mao Ruirui once saw a news report online about a drunk man vomiting so violently that he choked to death.

It left a very deep impression on her at the time.

Faced with the same situation today, Mao Ruirui would absolutely not let the trouble fall on Lin Yu.

At this time, the pet store doesn't have anything urgent to do.

There are basically no customers coming.

Regular customers would send her a message before they came.

There's no need to worry about missing any important clients.

Furthermore...

How could any customer compare to Lin Yu in front of him?

If you really have to make a choice, it's easy to get the answer.

Seeing Mao Ruirui bring in a chair, Lin Yu felt at ease.

Isn't the meaning obvious enough?

Weren't we just going to sit down and keep Lin Yu company for a while?

In this way...

This actually made Lin Yu's next move much easier!

"Glug glug... glug glug..."

Lin Yu sipped the lemonade in his glass in one gulp, leaving only ice and lemon.

They drank it so quickly that they didn't even taste the sourness of the lemon before it was over.

Seeing this, Mao Ruirui stood up and quickly said:

"Are you feeling better? I'll go get you another drink!"

The moment he stood up, Lin Yu's hand reached out directly.

He grabbed Mao Ruirui's wrist, preventing her from standing up:

"No, I don't want to drink anymore... Rui Rui, stay with me for a while..."

Mao Ruirui's heart skipped a beat. She blinked, sat back down, and immediately responded:

"Okay, I... won't leave."

She naturally wouldn't refuse Lin Yu's request.

I just didn't expect...

Lin Yu was far from satisfied with just talking.

He lay down on the bed, but rested his head on Mao Ruirui's lap.

This terrified Mao Ruirui!

Mao Ruirui wasn't startled by Lin Yu's sudden dependence.

Instead, the spot where Mao Ruirui sat down was a few fists away from the edge of the bed.

Lin Yu's sudden action seemed to disregard the distance, and he immediately lay down.

Worried that Lin Yu would fall, Mao Ruirui had no choice but to awkwardly step forward with her leg.

He held tightly against the bedside and caught Lin Yu.

"call……"

Mao Ruirui looked up and took a soft breath.

What can you say to a drunk man?

Tell him to be careful, but he definitely won't listen right now.

It would be better to stay by his side and watch out so that he doesn't cause any trouble.

"RuiRui, don't go..."

Lin Yu is quite adept at managing one's mindset.

The words that came out of their mouths were all mushy remarks that they wouldn't normally say.

These words warmed Mao Ruirui's heart and made her so happy that she felt lightheaded and almost lost her bearings.
