Gu Yue was still chattering non-stop when she suddenly realized the person next to her had vanished. Turning around, she found Lin Yu standing there, lost in thought. She blinked, curious, and asked:
"Big Bro Dragon, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing."
Lin Yu shook his head and continued walking forward.
On the surface, Lin Yu seemed calm, but his mind was a whirlwind of thoughts.
Had they broken up just like in the plot of an erotic manga?
Lin Yu felt a complex mix of emotions.
He recalled that in the original storyline, after Tang Man Man was "trained" by the blonde guy, there was also a part where she went to break up with her childhood sweetheart.
That scene.
Tsk tsk.
It could truly be described as a hellish battlefield of pure love.
Especially on the last page of the manga, where only half of Tang Man Man's face is shown, her lips curling into a meaningful smile at the end.
It was genuinely an uncomfortable yet... (entire line crossed out)
It was genuinely double the discomfort!
However, looking at the current situation, their breakup might not be such a bad thing.
Without the appearance of a Minotaur, their breakup was just an ordinary, peaceful separation.
Moreover, that guy named Yu Kai really didn’t deserve Tang Man Man. His girlfriend was bullied, and he actually...
...
Wait.
Lin Yu suddenly realized a crucial point.
It seemed they were never actually in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.
Never mind.
Who cares.
Lin Yu rubbed his temples. Anyway, as the main female character of the erotic manga, Tang Man Man was now living well, and that's what mattered.
In the future...
At least she won't be bullied during her high school years, and he could consider his mission accomplished!
Feeling relieved, Lin Yu stretched lazily, then looked at Gu Yue, who was wearing only light makeup, and a brilliant idea struck him.
Right!
Could he also use makeup to hide the different skin tones on either side of his face?
By combing his blonde hair to the back, he could turn back into a normal human being!!!
Thinking this, Lin Yu's eyes sparkled with excitement. He looked at Gu Yue, who was adept in this area, and directly asked:
"How good are your makeup skills?"
"Not bad."
Although Gu Yue didn't understand why Lin Yu would bring up this topic, she still obediently answered his question.
"Cough cough."
Getting the answer, Lin Yu felt a bit nervous. He looked around to ensure no one was paying attention to them here...
Still feeling unsure, he pulled Gu Yue behind a roadside tree for some privacy and, after a bit of mental preparation, hesitantly lifted the blonde hair covering the left side of his face and cautiously asked:
"Do you think you can make both sides of my face the same color?"
The puzzled look on Gu Yue's face vanished upon seeing Lin Yu's left half, replaced by an awkward expression.
She tightly pursed her lips, her face twitching as she tried hard not to let even a hint of a smile show in her eyes.
If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
But soon.
Her strained expression crumbled. Reluctantly, she turned her head to the left, her eyes darting around, refusing to look at Lin Yu's face for even a second.
Lin Yu let his blonde hair fall back and glared at Gu Yue, saying indignantly:
"Come on, tell me!"
"Can you do it or not?"
Amid his indignation, Lin Yu also felt somewhat relieved that he hadn't rashly decided to cut off his blonde hair before. Otherwise, his current appearance might have really made people die laughing!
After letting his blonde hair down, Gu Yue became much more composed. She still tightly pursed her lips, her clear eyes poorly hiding laughter, and nodded:
"I can do it."
"Are you sure?"
"Both sides of the face can become one color, without any flaws visible?"
Lin Yu asked again, not reassured.
As Lin Yu spoke, Gu Yue couldn't control her trembling lips anymore. Finally, she pulled her lips into her mouth, not speaking, and just nodded.
"Then it's settled. Don't leave right after school on Friday."
"Wait for me."
Lin Yu calculated the days and decided it was better to experiment on Friday. After all, there's no school on Saturday and Sunday. If it fails, he could just stay at home and furiously wash his face.
He spent the day calmly.
After school, Lin Yu leisurely headed towards Xia Mu Zhu's residential area.
Arriving at the building where Xia Mu Zhu lived, Lin Yu looked at the broken entrance access system, determined not to drag it out any longer.
By this weekend at the latest, he had to find someone to fix or replace the access system of this building.
Xia Mu Zhu's second "erotic incident" might happen at any time, so it was better to prepare early.
While Lin Yu was staring at the broken access system, a plump figure tiptoed up behind him and then gently tapped him on the shoulder, saying with a radiant smile:
"Little brother Lin Yu!"
Hearing this call, Lin Yu knew who was behind him without looking.
He turned around with a smile and greeted softly:
"Hello, Sister Bamboo."
Under the bright lights of the complex, Xia Mu Zhu was wearing a coffee-colored strap dress with a khaki mid-length knit jacket over it, highlighting her milky white skin even more.
Her entire demeanor appeared exceptionally ethereal.
Graceful, gentle, dignified yet approachable.
She looked every bit the part of a wife.
With a pleasant milky scent about her!
"Let's go."
"Upstairs, I've warmed up the food for you."
"You have your favorite fish."
Xia Mu Zhu gently pushed a lock of black hair behind her ear, her smile gentle as she spoke.
"Oh, okay."
Lin Yu nodded, somewhat flustered, and stopped looking at Xia Mu Zhu.
Damn!
So appealing!
The "wife" type really knows how to tug at a young man's heartstrings!
Following Xia Mu Zhu up the stairs, after she opened the door, Lin Yu saw Xia Yue Shan.
He really was behaving well, distributing bowls and chopsticks on the dining table!
