"No, this is just to prevent our live stream from being reported," Xiao Xiao couldn't help but say.
"Hello, Brother Xiao!" Deng Xiao touched his hat but didn't take it off. Instead, he greeted Xiao Xiao, who had spoken to him first.
Liu Qingling laughed and said, "I heard that 'The Swordsman' is about to premiere. Why don't we take this opportunity to give everyone a brief introduction to the plot and promote it? Oh right, I remember that Xiaoyu also played a role in this drama."
Rong Yu smiled and played along, saying, "I play a villain in the drama who is always at odds with the male lead and they are fighting all the time."
Yang Ji raised an eyebrow: "Is this what they call a love-hate relationship?"
Yin Chengjue: "Cough!"
Yang Ji: "Okay, the official pairing is still there, so I'll stop shipping the cult."
Rong Yu said, "The male lead of 'The Wandering Swordsman' belongs to the female lead, but Qi Jinxiao (the villain of 'The Wandering Swordsman') doesn't belong to anyone. He only belongs to himself."
"Hiss! So this villain is destined to be single forever?" Liu Qingling asked curiously.
Rong Yu smiled mysteriously: "You'll see when you watch the show. And this show isn't just about the villains' knives; there's also sweetness between the male and female leads. It's definitely super sweet, right, Xiao?"
"Ah, yes! Please give us your support!" Deng Xiao quickly replied.
Judging from his well-behaved attitude, you would never guess that he was sporting a reckless bald head just a moment ago.
The 12 people each found a seat and sat in a circle around the round table.
Broadcast: "Welcome everyone to our Werewolf live stream. Please point your camera at your face. After you receive your cards, you can choose to show them to your viewers or keep them secret."
Broadcast: "Due to the increased number of players, the rules of this round of the game have been changed. The werewolf team has four players. The White Wolf has been removed and the Poison Wolf has been added. The Poison Wolf can block one player's skill each night, but cannot block the same person for two consecutive nights."
Broadcast: "The God team consists of four people. In addition to the original divine roles in the first round, a Guardian has been added. Each Guardian can protect one person each night, but a Guardian cannot protect the same person for two consecutive nights."
Broadcast: "Apart from the newly added Poison Wolf and Guardian, the other rules have been established."
Announcement: "Now, please let our little yellow duck mascot begin dealing the cards!"
—The second round of the game will be a side story and will not affect the main storyline—
Unsurprisingly, this live stream went viral, especially the unexpected kiss between Yin Chengjue and Rong Yu, which was instantly edited into a GIF and spread like wildfire, drawing out many lurking fans.
That night, the Super Topic Square of the Shuangyu CP became a sea of joy.
That night, both anti-fans and fans mobilized to compete on Weibo's main page.
That night, Feng Chengda posted another condemnation on Weibo, but his voice couldn't even make it to the trending topics during this time of explosive traffic. Only a few people who followed him glanced at it before being quickly drawn to other news.
That night, as soon as Yin Chengjue and Rong Yu returned home, Yin Chengjue received a phone call from Yin He.
Yin Chengjue glanced at Rong Yu, who was bending down to take off her shoes, then lightly swiped his finger across the screen and said, "Hello, Mom."
Rong Yu paused.
After hearing what was said on the other end of the phone, Yin Chengjue replied, "Yes."
Yin Chengjue: "This is something that can't be explained over the phone. Let's find a time to talk about it in person."
After hanging up the phone, Yin Chengjue met Rong Yu's slightly flustered and helpless gaze.
“That was…”
"It's my mom. She saw those GIFs circulating online." Yin Chengjue said, while casually browsing Weibo's trending topics. He quickly found the kissing GIF that netizens had made and handed it to Rong Yu.
Looking at the GIF that was so blurry that only two black lines remained, Rong Yu really couldn't understand what was so great about it. They could have just made an animation of two black lines pasted together, which would have been clearer than this GIF!
Yin Chengjue hadn't opened the large image earlier, but now that he had, he noticed it was too blurry. He then searched through Weibo for a while and found that none of the images were clear enough.
So when Rong Yu took out her phone and opened Weibo, she saw a message pop up from her special followers. When she clicked on it, she saw that it was a new Weibo post by Yin Chengjue.
Yin Chengjue iryV: These GIFs are all too blurry, can someone give me a high-definition one?
Rong Yu: "Brother, didn't you say that Auntie called because she saw these GIFs? Wasn't she very angry? Then why did you..."
Yin Chengjue raised an eyebrow: "Who said she was angry?"
Yin Chengjue: "To be precise, she is only temporarily short of breath. What we need to do is prove to her that we are doing well."
The phone vibrated at that moment. Yin Chengjue looked down and saw that it was a message from Yin He. The message was very simple, just the time and place.
"She invited us to TU Cafe tomorrow afternoon, Xiaoyu, are you available?"
“Even if you don’t have time, you have to make time for this.” Rong Yu sighed, “Brother, aren’t you moving a little too fast? I’m not ready yet…”
Yin Chengjue raised an eyebrow: "When your older brothers came to the company, they didn't give me any time to prepare."
“This…this is different…” Rong Yu also realized this and said, “Brother is always the best, but I…I’m afraid my image isn’t good, and Auntie won’t like it…”
It was rare for Yin Chengjue to see Rong Yu with such a conflicted expression, so he couldn't help but offer him a suggestion: "Why don't you just call her Mom?"
Yin Chengjue thought about it more and more and felt it was a good idea: "Look, they were quite happy when I called you Big Brother and Second Brother, just like you did before."
You call their appearance happy?
Yin Chengjue: "You don't know this, do you? The more shrewd a person is, the more they develop the skill of saying one thing and meaning another, and the level of proficiency is often directly proportional to their skill level. So, although they may look angry, they may actually be quite happy inside."
Rong Yu: "..." Why don't I believe it? And...
Rong Yu narrowed her eyes slightly, raised her hand and tapped Yin Chengjue's heart: "Brother, I think you're quite shrewd, so you're just saying one thing and meaning another to me?"
Yin Chengjue grabbed Rong Yu's wrist and smiled slightly: "How could that be? In the face of love, I'm a fool. How can a fool be shrewd?"
Rong Yu: "...Glib-tongued."
Despite her words, Rong Yu couldn't help but laugh. She leaped onto Yin Chengjue's back, wrapped her arms firmly around his neck, and clamped her legs tightly around his waist, pouting and whining, "I'm so tired today! I used too much brainpower playing Werewolf! I need you to help me take a bath, brother!"
"Okay, I'll definitely get better! Okay! I'll help you wash!"
The next morning, Yin Chengjue and Rong Yu went shopping and tried on clothes. In the end, they chose a new autumn and winter casual outfit from Fengyang Men's Wear. Yin Chengjue wore the black version and Rong Yu wore the burgundy version. When they stood there, they were like two human-shaped glowing bodies. The sales clerk stared at them without blinking and wished he could take out all the clothes in the store for them to try on.
If she could take a picture and put it in the store, she bet the store's business would be even more booming than before!
But she also knew that this was unrealistic, because one of the two men was the heir of the Yin Group.
After choosing their clothes, the two went to pick out a pair of watches. Only after they had made sure they looked absolutely handsome from head to toe did they stop.
Rong Yu once again took out the "Guide to Meeting the In-Laws" that he had bought from some shady stall, turned to the page he had carefully folded, and said, "The guide says that if you want to satisfy your mother-in-law, the first impression is very important. Brother, do you think Aunt Yin will be satisfied with me like this?"
Yin Chengjue withdrew his gaze from Rong Yu: "If her taste is the same as mine, then she will definitely be very satisfied. However, I have a small suggestion: based on my understanding of her, even if you feel that calling her 'Mom' now seems inappropriate, don't call her 'Auntie'."
Rong Yu: "...What's it called?"
“Uh…” Yin Chengjue said, “It might be better to call her sister.”
Rong Yu: "...I understand."
Yin Chengjue: "So, can I drive now? The time we agreed on is getting closer and closer."
"Drive, drive! We definitely can't be late!" Rong Yu said quickly.
Yin Chengjue's gaze then shifted to Rong Yu's hands, which were gripping the steering wheel tightly.
Rong Yu: "...Oh."
Rong Yu then let go of his hand and reached for the bicycle handle: "I, let me think about it some more. Um, does Sister Yin... does Sister Yin usually like to hit you? Um, I mean, if you do something wrong, will Sister Yin hit you?"
Yin Chengjue: "...You're addressing someone of a lower generation!"
Rong Yu looked innocent: "Didn't you tell me to call you that?"
Yin Chengjue: "...You can call me by my name, it shouldn't be too hot to drink, right?"
Rong Yu: "Your name isn't hot to the touch, but every time I call it, it feels... hot..."
Yin Chengjue took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, saying fiercely, "I'll let you go during the day!"
Rong Yu laughed triumphantly a few times, but then, thinking of the increasingly close dinner meeting with the parents, her smile quickly faded, and she became worried again: "You still haven't answered me. What if your mother is really angry and wants to hit you?"
Yin Chengjue had been beaten by Yin He before, but Yin He was pampered and he was thick-skinned, so the slaps didn't hurt him much. Besides...
Yin Chengjue: "If we really can't hide, I can take you with me and run away."
“No,” Rong Yu said, fiddling with her fingers, looking quite conflicted, “Mainly, I’m afraid my body will react faster than my brain, and I’ll beat you up…”
Rong Yu muttered, "I can't stand seeing you being bullied."
Yin Chengjue placed his large hand on Rong Yu's head and rubbed it: "Don't read too many strange books, and don't imagine a bunch of strange and unexpected events in your mind."
