Lin Yu was stunned on the spot.

It felt as if someone had taken my brain out of my skull, slapped me hard, and then shoved it back in.

Lin Yu: "!!!"

What kind of question is this? It's way too direct!

Shen Jiuyi is still a straightforward girl.

The premise that she could ask that question...

That's what I already thought in my heart!

so.

Whatever Lin Yu answered didn't seem to matter much.

Shen Jiuyi already had a predetermined answer in her heart!

Lin Yu took a deep breath: "I..."

Shen Jiuyi: "Alright, if you think for more than three seconds, I understand."

Lin Yu: "..."

Is it abnormal to be surprised when someone asks such a question?

What the hell does it mean if it takes more than three seconds!

Or has she already understood?

If she understood, she wouldn't dare come looking for Lin Yu today!

Anyway.

Lin Yu still wanted to make amends for himself.

He tried to appear relaxed and said with a smile:

"Haha, Xiao Jiu, is that how you see me?"

"But I'm so wronged, I never expected you to think of me like that."

These words were spoken.

In the darkness, Shen Jiuyi took half a step back, widening the distance between the two.

Lin Yu: "???"

Why is that?

Was that half-step-back gesture for real?

Shen Jiuyi thought Lin Yu couldn't see it, but Lin Yu could see it clearly.

Immediately following.

Shen Jiuyi said again:

"I just said I understood, but actually I don't understand anything."

Lin Yu's eye twitched: "..."

Okay, okay.

Is this how you play along with him?

fishing!

Whether he understands or not is not important; what matters is seeing Lin Yu's reaction.

Lin Yu's chosen approach was to make amends for himself!

To others, such an attempt to make amends might not seem like a big deal.

It is estimated that Shen Jiuyi has her own unique insights into Lin Yu and is able to grasp the terrifying information within him.

No matter how you behave or how you explain yourself, it doesn't matter.

Shen Jiuyi wouldn't take it seriously; she would only agree with her own ideas.

Lin Yu felt a pang of heartache and impulsively wanted to teach Shen Jiuyi a lesson!

Lin Yu lowered his voice, creating a tense atmosphere:

"So? Xiao Jiu, what exactly are you trying to say?"

"Your voice sounds like it's from far away from me?"

"There are only the two of us here, is it really necessary to stand this far away?"

As he spoke.

Lin Yu walked forward step by step, closing the distance between him and Shen Jiuyi.

When I walked past, I deliberately stomped very hard and made a lot of noise.

The purpose was to let Shen Jiuyi hear it, to make her heart clench.

But to my utter surprise...

Lin Yu underestimated Shen Jiuyi's determination today.

As Lin Yu advanced step by step, the distance between him and Shen Jiuyi became smaller and smaller.

Instead, it was Shen Jiuyi from before.

They would either choose to continue retreating and dodging, or they would speak up to remind Lin Yu.

Today and today.

She stood still, not moving an inch.

In Lin Yu's view...

It was as if he was deliberately standing there, waiting for Lin Yu to come over!

After emerging from Shen Jiuyi's dream world.

Lin Yu had considered what kind of emotional changes Shen Jiuyi would experience.

I just didn't expect her to come up with such a direct approach.

Seeing that Shen Jiuyi remained motionless.

Lin Yu reached out his hand and began to feel his way forward.

soon.

His arm made precise contact with Shen Jiuyi's...

Shoulder!

Lin Yu could clearly feel Shen Jiuyi tremble all over.

Her breathing became heavier for a moment, but she quickly suppressed it herself.

Lin Yu: "!!!"

Is it really that comfortable?

You're really not dodging!

I thought that when we met, Shen Jiuyi would be unable to resist and would run away.

To everyone's surprise, she didn't stay still and stood perfectly upright in the same spot.

Lin Yu didn't speak, but tightened his grip on Shen Jiuyi's shoulder slightly.

With almost no obstruction, Shen Jiuyi moved forward a little.

Lin Yu was certain...

If he were to hug her now.

Given Shen Jiuyi's current state of mind, she definitely wouldn't be able to refuse.

hiss!

The girl's sudden overly cooperative attitude made Lin Yu hesitant to make a move.

Especially the relationship between Shen Jiuyi and Shen Buyao.

This forces Lin Yu to make a move that is completely risk-free.

If not handled properly, all the previously established informational advantages will be completely lost.

Lin Yu suppressed his inner turmoil and tried to remain calm as he asked:

"Xiao Jiu, why aren't you saying anything?"

"What exactly did you call me here for?"

"You asked a strange question and then fell silent. Could it be that the reason you came to me is related to that question?"

Shen Jiuyi's cheeks burned, and her heart suddenly raced.

She knew Lin Yu wasn't a brainless guy.

They must have already guessed what was going on, but they deliberately didn't say it.

I want to hear Shen Jiuyi say it.

To be honest.

Shen Jiuyi's mind is in a mess right now.

When she called Lin Yu in the early hours of the morning, she hadn't quite figured out what kind of help she needed from him.

She spent the whole day thinking about whether there was a way to avoid affecting the relationship between the three of them.

It's a pity.

Fate is beyond human control.

If we take some gentler approaches, we will not be able to answer Shen Jiuyi's questions.
