Given Xu Xiaoman’s bad habit, when they first met, she had bugged him, so how could she not use the same trick for today’s grand show? Seeing the old lady easily handle the two competitors, and with her prey obediently staying home without daring to step out, Lan Yu was increasingly intrigued by this game of love. Her usually haughty and proud heart had been completely ignited with the desire to conquer, her combative nature had already redefined the process of this love game in her mind. She no longer wanted to easily capture her prey with unconventional means; she was determined to make her prey fall in love with her completely, to thoroughly defeat her two competitors, and while at it, take possession of what they cherished. After all, she had plenty of time before returning to her original form, and this new body was so perfect; why not truly experience the life of an ordinary human, to feel the existence of the lowly? This could well be a cultivation of the mind.
Having made her choice, Lan Yu began to implement her plan. “Auntie, I’m sorry for the trouble, I’ll be leaving now. Lin Feng, please don’t blame him, he’s a good boy! Goodbye!” Lan Yu said, not knowing what trick she used, but Lin Feng’s mother’s mood calmed instantly. She stood there, holding onto the doorframe, lost in thought, for a long time, until Lan Yu had disappeared around the staircase corner, before she came to her senses. “Ah, Lin Feng, my son, why, why has everyone suddenly left? Where are your friends? Xiao Yun? I was going to cook something nice for her! Why has everyone left?” Hearing his mother’s tone return to normal, Lin Feng immediately appeared before her, instinctively waving his hand in front of her face, only to receive a slap from his mother. “What are you waving for? I’m not blind!” “Mom, are you awake now?” “What? I’ve been awake all along! What’s going on?”
Why was this kid looking at his mom so strangely? Lin Feng was very suspicious. How did his mother immediately return to normal as soon as that woman left? It must have been her doing; damn it! I must find out who you are and what your purpose was for coming here today. Mom, what did that Yu’er say to you when you were in the room? Could you tell me? Lin Feng very carefully probed his mother, afraid that pushing too hard might make her revert to her unreasonable behavior from earlier. It seemed that the other party wasn’t as simple as they appeared; she could easily influence his thoughts and emotions. His mother was getting old; he didn’t want any lingering issues to arise.
Yu’er? Hmm, are you talking about that little girl from earlier? She didn’t say much to me! As if it had happened long ago, Lin Feng watched his mother struggle to recall for a long time before she finally said something that disappointed him greatly: Oh, that little girl said she was looking for someone in our neighborhood but got the wrong building number. She almost fell down the stairs, and you kindly saved her. Then she noticed her skirt was torn, so she came into the house. Hey, you brat, did you have any bad intentions because you thought she was pretty? Lin Lin, we’re a decent family, you can’t do such things! With that, she ignored her son, who was now in a daze, and started tidying up the mess in the room, shaking her head and sighing as she picked up crumpled tissues from the floor, muttering something indistinctly.
PS: A new week begins, and the show is about to start~~~
The heart-pounding trash can was casually taken away, and the tiny bug inside was flushed down the toilet along with the garbage. Therefore, Lin Feng never discovered the small bug that had accidentally fallen into the trash can. Without finding the suspected object, he constantly felt exposed and vulnerable to surveillance, which made him uncomfortable. Not daring to vent his frustration recklessly, he thought about how to calm this storm and quietly returned to his room to think about the next steps.
He was fairly certain his room was safe since the three girls had never entered it, meaning their listening devices hadn’t had a chance to be installed there yet. Out of caution, Lin Feng still checked every corner of his room and changed all his clothes, inside and out, packing them into the bathroom. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and slump onto the bed.
Three women make a drama; having such an encounter early in the morning and waiting for it to unfold, Lin Feng still couldn’t fully believe it, feeling as if he was in a dream. Lin Feng didn’t consider himself a gentleman, but neither was he a reckless playboy. He acknowledged that his attractiveness to women hadn’t reached the level where they would fall for him at first sight. He was aware that these changes were largely due to Niu Niu’s influence within him. Niu Niu must have done something behind the scenes, transforming him from an unremarkable student into a handsome man everyone admired. However, even if Niu Niu’s manipulations were exaggerated, they couldn’t possibly be so extreme that a mere smile from him would make any woman throw herself at him.
If that were the case, Lin Feng was sure his few outings over the past days would have resulted in a series of romantic entanglements, and he would have become a notorious figure in Yushan. At that point, his life would indeed be in danger, not only from the relentless pursuit of women but also from jealous rivals brandishing their cudgels in pursuit.
Moreover, this Lan Yu, while beautiful, had repeatedly stirred his desires and caused him to lose control, almost succumbing to temptation to commit an act of aggression. This was a bit too wild for him. In the past, he was shy to the extent that even a glance from a girl would make him blush; now, he was daring enough to touch a woman he barely knew. This change was too drastic.
It went against his usual timid nature where he had the heart but not the guts. Thinking back to the situation, he would break out in a cold sweat. Lin Feng couldn’t imagine he had such a lecherous side. He was unwilling to believe that he would tear at another’s clothes or think of taking advantage first and talking later, especially when he was in the midst of developing a relationship with a woman he admired. It was unbelievable that he would make the same mistake repeatedly at such a crucial time.
Moreover, all signs suggested that this enchantress, Lan Yu, might not actually have any real affection for him! Lin Feng hadn’t been completely carried away by the allure of romance, but alone, his mind was filled with images of Lan Yu and Wang Xiao Yu, one offering fatal temptation, the other emotional comfort, both emotions intertwining, leaving him in endless distress and confusion, unable to discern clearly.
Was he really that eager to indulge himself? Today, fortunately, a third party disrupted his emotions, but what about next time? If Lan Yu or some other beauty used the same tactics, should he stick to his principles or follow his body’s urges, perhaps indulging once or twice?
Lan Yu’s actions today surely had an unusual purpose. This woman was cunning; what was it about him that warranted such attention from her? The situation had changed too quickly, and seeing his mother’s strange behavior afterwards had scared him, making him cautious, not daring to make any moves against Lan Yu.
