Bamboo Cat: Brother Lin Yu!

　　Bamboo Cat: What did you say to Yue Shan?

　　Bamboo Cat: He's been so well-behaved since he came back today!!!

　　Bamboo Cat: o(￣▽￣)ブ

　　Dragon Proud Sky: Nothing much.

　　Dragon Proud Sky: Just had a heart-to-heart with him.

　　Bamboo Cat: You're amazing! (★ ω ★)

　　Dragon Proud Sky: It was nothing（✿◡‿◡)

　　Bamboo Cat: Are you free tomorrow night?

　　Bamboo Cat: I’d like to invite you to dinner, along with my brother!

　　Dragon Proud Sky: Sure!

　　Dragon Proud Sky: I super love the meals you cook!

　　Bamboo Cat: Then let's meet tomorrow night~

　　Dragon Proud Sky: See you tomorrow night!

　　After turning off his phone screen and placing it beside his pillow, Lin Yu looked up at the ceiling consumed by darkness, once again contemplating the second erotic incident involving the female lead, Xia Mu Zhu.

　　Having now resolved the bullying issue of Xia Yue Shan and repaired his relationship with Xia Mu Zhu, it seemed.

　　He could dismiss his previous two guesses.

　　So...

　　Did he win?

　　Did he overcome that cryptic existence known as fate?

　　Lin Yu stared blankly at the ceiling, pondering this question.

　　Hard to say.

　　Lin Yu gave himself an answer.

　　The second erotic storyline of Xia Mu Zhu might not necessarily be the two he had guessed.

　　No!

　　They definitely weren't the two he had speculated!

　　Lin Yu suddenly realized.

　　If the second erotic storyline of Xia Mu Zhu was as he had guessed,

　　Then, tonight, while dealing with the bullies tormenting Xia Yue Shan, he should have recognized some familiar faces, recalling more fragments of erotic comics.

　　Yet, throughout the night, that peculiar sense of familiarity never appeared.

　　This alone proves that, at least for tonight, everyone he encountered had nothing to do with Xia Mu Zhu's second erotic storyline!

　　Does that mean the second erotic storyline of Xia Mu Zhu wasn't triggered by Xia Yue Shan?

　　Lin Yu rubbed his temples in frustration.

　　In that case.

If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

　　All clues have been severed.

　　Was he back to square one with no leads?

　　Not necessarily.

　　Lin Yu closed his eyes, took a long, slow breath, comforting himself inwardly.

　　At the very least, he had now eliminated the potential problem of Xia Yue Shan, hadn't he?

　　And there's still that little sneak peeking from behind the door in his erotic comic memory!

　　He's another clue that can't be given up on.

　　Moving his hand out from under the blanket, Lin Yu began to organize his thoughts for the next steps.

　　Since no suspects related to the second erotic storyline were found, to save Xia Mu Zhu, he would need to keep in touch with her in the coming days.

　　Perhaps one day, he might coincidentally encounter someone giving off that eerie sense of familiarity.

　　If things go as expected, that person would be the male lead of Xia Mu Zhu’s second erotic storyline.

　　At that time, he just needs to stay vigilant around him!

　　If necessary, deliver a crippling kick to neutralize any malicious intent!

　　Directly confiscate the tools of crime!

　　See how he continues to do bad things after that!

　　...

　　Early in the morning, Lin Yu was brushing his teeth in front of the sink.

　　Looking at the mirror, seeing the yellow hair covering the left half of his face, Lin Yu brushed it aside as he did every day, revealing the pale, tender skin underneath before reluctantly letting it fall back in place.

　　Damn it.

　　Did he really have to endure this overly dramatic yellow hair until the winter break?

　　Such torture.

　　Lin Yu felt somewhat desperate.

　　Even during the winter break, with the season's low sunlight, it would be hard to tan the left half of his face to match the right, wouldn't it?

　　Was he doomed to sport this yellow hair until next summer, or even until college?

　　Thinking this, Lin Yu felt a headache coming on.

　　If it comes down to it...

　　What about just cutting it off?

　　The eye not covered by yellow hair turned fierce.

　　As a man, you should be tough on yourself.

　　Let them laugh if they want.

　　After enduring it for ten days or half a month, the color difference between the left and right sides of his face shouldn't be so noticeable, right?

　　Thinking this, Lin Yu brushed the hair covering the left half of his face aside, his gaze firm as he looked at the mirror, seeing half of his face pale and delicate, the other half dark and rough.

　　Looking at it made him feel somewhat hot, and he couldn't help but expose his two rows of big white teeth to cool down.

　　Forget it.

　　Let them laugh; just don't die laughing.

　　Letting his yellow hair fall back into place, Lin Yu picked up his backpack and left the house.

　　Is there a way to avoid social death and also get rid of this long hair?

　　Such a headache!

　　...

　　"Big Bro Dragon!"

　　A light voice sounded from behind, and Lin Yu turned his head to see the girl bouncing up to him and decided to wait for her.

　　"Big Bro Dragon, you look so handsome today!"

　　Gu Yue came up to Lin Yu's side and didn't hesitate to flatter him.

　　"Why?"

　　"I didn’t dress up special today."

　　"How did I suddenly become handsome?"

　　Lin Yu asked curiously.

　　"Because you waited for me~"

　　Gu Yue said with a giggle:

　　"Boys who wait for girls are the handsomest!"

　　Saying so, Gu Yue gave Lin Yu a thumbs up, affirming his behavior.

　　Lin Yu rolled his eyes in response to Gu Yue's smooth talking.

　　"How has Tang Man Man been doing at school lately?"

　　"Has anyone bullied her?"

　　Lin Yu asked casually.

　　Hearing Lin Yu's question, a hint of sadness flashed in Gu Yue's eyes, but she quickly adjusted her mood and cheerfully said:

　　"Reporting to Big Bro Dragon!"

　　"Sister-in-law is uh uh uh uh!"

　　As soon as the words "sister-in-law" came out of Gu Yue's mouth, an infuriated Lin Yu grabbed her cheek, her plump pink lips puckered up from the squeeze, looking somewhat cute, though Lin Yu had no interest in that. He looked around and, upon seeing no students from their school nearby, shook her cheek as if venting and fiercely said:

　　"Didn't I tell you not to call her sister-in-law?!"

　　"Keep it up and see if I don’t deal with you."

　　"I got it, Big Bro Dragon!"

　　Gu Yue said, whimpering.

　　Lin Yu glared at her as a warning before finally letting go of her cheek.

　　Gu Yue rubbed her sore cheeks with both hands, not forgetting the important matter at hand:

　　"Ever since Big Bro Dragon showed off your might in the corridor that day and taught me a lesson, no one in the school dares to mess with Tang Man Man."

　　"However, there's a guy who keeps harassing her under the guise of being her childhood sweethearts."

　　"Big Bro Dragon, should we..."

　　As she spoke, Gu Yue placed her hand in front of her neck, making a menacingly cute motion.

　　"Stay out of their business!"

　　Lin Yu instantly knew who Gu Yue was talking about and hurriedly warned her to stay out of it.

　　"Also."

　　"They grew up together as childhood sweethearts. How can you describe their relationship as harassment?"

　　Lin Yu scolded, clearly annoyed.

　　Chastened by Lin Yu, Gu Yue felt somewhat aggrieved, pouting and retorting:

　　"But Tang Man Man really dislikes him now!"

　　"I heard from their classmates that Tang Man Man has been avoiding that guy named Yu Kai!"
