As soon as Rong Yu finished speaking, her phone vibrated in her pocket.

Rong Yu paused, glanced at the caller ID, and pursed her lips slightly.

A glimmer of hope flashed in the eyes of the men lying on the ground, especially the skinny man, whose eyes darted around as if he were making a plan.

Rong Yu, of course, didn't miss his look and almost immediately guessed what the skinny guy was up to. She just sneered, "Why don't you guess what would happen if I answered this call and begged for help with a sob in my voice... then when the people on the other end of the phone come to rescue me and see a bunch of you surrounding me, will you believe me or will you believe me?"

Rong Yu tapped her chin with her phone. "Since I can dislocate your hands one by one, I can naturally put them back in place. Then... you'll be perfectly fine."

The others: "..." This is a threat! A blatant threat!

Seeing their hesitation, Rong Yu knew they had given up on the idea, so she pressed the answer button.

"Brother, are you going to sleep?" The voice was filled with undisguised tenderness.

Holding a camera in one hand and a phone in the other, Rong Yu said in a relaxed tone, "I found it! I just found it. It turned out it accidentally fell into the gap between the seats. It took me a long time to find it... Um, I'm okay. I'll be right back. Brother, wait for me!"

Hearing Rong Yu's sweet and cloying voice, the young masters lying sprawled on the cold ground all wore expressions that were hard to describe.

They simply couldn't believe that the man who had seemed ready to tear them to pieces just moments before was the same man making the phone call in a sweet and gentle voice.

After hanging up the phone, Rong Yu's expression changed instantly, and her tone became cold and hard: "Listen, my time is very precious, so I'll have to cooperate with you all, otherwise... you won't want to know the consequences."

Ten minutes later, there was a knock on the door. Yin Chengjue opened the door and found Rong Yu leaning against the doorframe, hands on her hips, panting heavily.

"There's no need to rush back. What if you trip and fall?" Yin Chengjue poured Rong Yu a glass of water.

“I’ve only been gone a few minutes, and my brother already misses me. Of course I have to come back right away.” As Rong Yu took the water glass, she deliberately brushed her fingertips against the back of Yin Chengjue’s hand.

Yin Chengjue felt a tingling sensation travel from the back of his hand all the way to his heart.

They had already booked two rooms, but they tacitly ended up staying in the same room. It just goes to show how terrible it is to get used to the presence of another person around without him even realizing it.

“Brother, I’ve been resting these past few days…” Rong Yu seemed to see through Yin Chengjue’s inner struggle, put down her water glass, stepped forward and hooked her arm around Yin Chengjue’s neck.

Yin Chengjue's eyes darkened, and he reached out to grasp Rong Yu's wrist. "There are too many people around today..."

Rong Yu's fingers moved from the back of Yin Chengjue's neck to his earlobe. "Didn't you say an hour ago that we would sleep separately tonight? What's going on now? I was only gone for a few minutes, and you were already calling me in a hurry."

Yin Chengjue: "...I'm just worried about you. Chang Yue is no good person. He's very dirty-minded. I'm afraid he'll do something to you."

Rong Yu was somewhat dissatisfied: "Brother, how come you seem to know him so well? Have you two known each other before? Come to think of it, you're not the type to give people the cold shoulder the moment you meet them. Is there a reason why you seem to dislike him so much today?"

Yin Chengjue didn't expect Rong Yu to have even noticed this, but Yin Chengjue couldn't very well say that he had been tricked by Chang Yue in his past life, so he had to find another reason: "His artists have put you down."

"Who is it?" Rong Yu asked, her eyes filled with confusion.

"The one you know is Ming Qian. Ming Qian is an artist under the Chang family, didn't you know?"

Rong Yu: "I didn't pay much attention. I didn't communicate with Ming Qian when I debuted. After we came out, everyone was quite busy and didn't have time to get to know each other."

Yin Chengjue was somewhat helpless. Ming Qian had subtly and overtly belittled Rong Yu so many times, yet Rong Yu treated her like she was invisible.

If Mingqian's fans knew this, I wonder if they would be so angry they would turn into pufferfish.

It's like you're desperately trying to catch up with someone, to surpass them, while they just see a shadow drifting around in the far corner of their field of vision—they haven't even seen what you look like.

Rong Yu: "The main reason is that we have never been in the same class, and the dormitories are far apart. If it weren't for the fact that he often stuck to Fei Zhengqi for a period of time, I wouldn't even know that he existed."

The edited video is somewhat different from reality. Rong Yu missed seeing all the various pairing and comparison incidents that they tried their best to create during the broadcast of "Brother's Debut" because his phone was handed over. By the time he picked up his phone, the news had already become old news. So Rong Yu, who only browsed Weibo headlines and then logged off, naturally had no idea how much trouble the two of them had caused during "Brother's Debut".

After Yin Chengjue briefly explained, Rong Yu realized that there was a deep-seated resentment between her and Ming Qian.

Rong Yu: "So, the reason why you seem to hate Chang Yue so much is because the artists under Chang Yue's management are deliberately messing with me?"

Yin Chengjue: "...Yes and no, some reasons are hard to describe. Just think of it as me not liking him. From now on, try to avoid him when you see him. If he directly causes you trouble, call me immediately." Yin Chengjue carefully instructed: "I always felt that he didn't have good intentions when he brought a group of people over today, so it's better to be on guard."

Rong Yu couldn't help but think of the group of people she had taught a lesson in the restroom earlier. Her eyes darkened, and she agreed, "Brother is right. It's good to be on guard. But... now that we're in the room, they wouldn't have installed any surveillance cameras or anything here, would they?"

Yin Chengjue: "There's no need to worry about that. I checked after I came in, and there were no pinhole cameras. Besides, I brought a jammer with me, so it can basically block them all."

Rong Yu: "That settles it! What are you worried about, brother? There's no better opportunity than today!"

Yin Chengjue sighed helplessly.

"Weren't you in a lot of pain last time?"

Rong Yu immediately understood that Yin Chengjue was referring to the time a few months ago when they first tried to take it to the last step, but Rong Yu couldn't bear it and didn't continue.

And then we got to where we are now.

During this time, the two helped each other, and basically tried every other method except for not reaching the final step.

"Things are different now. I promise, this time it will definitely work!" Rong Yu hooked her arm around Yin Chengjue's and walked towards the bed.

"Oh?" Yin Chengjue's gaze couldn't help but drift to a certain spot: "Are you so sure?"

Rong Yu pressed Yin Chengjue down to the edge of the bed, cleared her throat, and whispered in Yin Chengjue's ear, "Actually, when I was taking a shower just now... I used... myself..."

Damn it!

To hell with restraint and all that!

Horse riding requires skill; if you mount the horse incorrectly, you can easily slip off.

Fortunately, Rong Yu had been studying diligently these past few days and had learned a lot of feasible solutions from the books. She had accumulated them until today and decided to put them into practice.

Thanks to thorough prior preparation, Rong Yu only slipped a few times before successfully mounting the horse.

However, simply getting on the horse isn't enough. If you can't sit firmly, you'll easily be thrown off when the horse starts running.

Rong Yu gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, and tried to lower her body, slowly sitting on the saddle.

During this process, Yin Chengjue gently stroked Rong Yu's back with both hands and encouraged him in a soft voice, helping him to relax.

Seemingly affected by Rong Yu's nervousness, fine beads of sweat appeared on Yin Chengjue's forehead, sliding down and quickly wetting the white pillowcase.

The moment Rong Yu landed, he revealed a slightly smug smile. He placed his hands on Yin Chengjue's shoulders and said, "Brother, look, I did it."

"Hmm, Xiaoyu is great." Yin Chengjue raised his hand to wipe the sweat from Rongyu's forehead and nose. After giving Rongyu some time to rest, he said, "Xiaoyu, sit tight and hold on. The horse is about to start running. Don't get jostled off."

Rong Yu nodded emphatically: "Don't worry, brother. Look this morning, when I caught up with that red horse, its back was almost at a right angle, but I was still sitting there perfectly fine and didn't get thrown off, did I?"

“That’s different.” Yin Chengjue took Rong Yu’s hand, kissed it lightly, and said, “The horse you’re riding now is much harder to control than the one you rode this morning.”

"Why?" Rong Yu pretended not to know.

“Because…” Yin Chengjue paused before smiling meaningfully, “This horse hasn’t been put on a leash yet, so the rider has a hard time controlling the direction and speed, and can only let the horse do its own thing.”

"Oh, really?" Rong Yu suddenly winked playfully and smiled.

Yin Chengjue suddenly had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, the next moment, he saw Rong Yu take out... three ropes from behind her.

Yin Chengjue: "..." If he wasn't mistaken, this looked like a sheepskin rope he had specially made for Rong Yu...

“Um…” Yin Chengjue tried to cover up his earlier words: “Although this horse doesn’t have a rein, it is still very obedient, so let’s skip the rope?”

Rong Yu's expression remained unchanged: "Oh, since this horse is so obedient, it should readily agree to be harnessed, right?"
