After his blunder in the handsome guy's comment section was exposed.

Zhou Xinran opened the box and took out two tiny, electrode-like objects.

"What is this?" Lin Xuechun asked, examining it in her hand.

"This is a very new lie detector. It's a new toy I recently bought online. Come on, get on the bed, and I'll teach you how to use it." Zhou Xinran urged Lin Xuechun. Lin Xuechun climbed onto the bed with some doubt, and Zhou Xinran followed.

The two of them squeezed onto a small bed, sitting facing each other.

"How do you play?"

"Well, this might be a little embarrassing, so don't hide, but it's really fun." Zhou Xinran gave Lin Xuechun a heads-up before picking it up and holding it up in front of her.

"Ouch—" Lin Xuechun immediately crossed her arms over her chest and leaned back to avoid it.

"Oh, baby, don't make such a fuss. The lie detector will definitely monitor your heart rate, it's normal." Zhou Xinran explained with a serious face, "Come on, lie down first."

"Oh... okay." Lin Xuechun released her hands from her chest, adjusted her body, and lay down. Zhou Xinran took one of the hands and pressed it against her chest. Lin Xuechun's body trembled instantly. "Is... is this to monitor my heart rate?"

"Yes, that's how lie detectors work." Zhou Xinran picked up another one and placed it on the symmetrical side.

Lin Xuechun suppressed her unease, feeling something was off: "Do you need two electrodes to measure heart rate?"

"Yes, think about it, isn't this what happens when you have a heart checkup at the hospital? Baby, lie still and don't move around, I'm going downstairs."

Zhou Xinran climbed out of bed and connected her phone via Bluetooth.

Ready to go? She forced a mischievous grin and said, "Baby, I'm going to start asking questions! If you lie, there will be an automatic punishment."

"What kind of punishment?" Lin Xuechun nervously gripped the bed sheet with her hand at her side; people are always a little afraid of the unknown.

Zhou Xinran: "Don't worry, when have I ever lied to you, sister?"

That's true.

Lin Xuechun relaxed a bit.

Zhou Xinran: "Let's begin! First question, let's start with something simple: Am I your best friend in college?"

"Yes."

Lin Xuechun answered without hesitation that the thing didn't react either.

Zhou Xinran laughed from below, "Oh my baby, you're also my best friend from university, love you! Next question—"

Do you have feelings for Xi Chenzhou?

"Hmm...maybe a little."

Lin Xuechun hesitated for two seconds, but still admitted it.

After all, Zhou Xinran would share her love life with her without reservation, and she didn't want to lie to her.

The lie detector still didn't work.

Lin Xuechun thought to herself, "This thing is quite accurate."

"Baby, let's have a really exciting question next." A mischievous glint flashed in Zhou Xinran's eyes, but Lin Xuechun couldn't see it. She had already started to get used to the lie detector and relaxed. "Go ahead and ask."

Zhou Xinran: "Have you ever fantasized about Xi Chenzhou?"

Lin Xuechun knew her question was definitely about that area. She unconsciously bit her lip, and the image of the gym shower flashed through her mind…

"…No."

She denied it guiltily.

Just then, her phone vibrated beside her pillow. She reached for it and saw it was a WeChat message from Xi Chenzhou.

"Ranran, wait a minute, I need to reply to a WeChat message."

"Hey, who's texting you so late at night?"

"A friend."

"Boy or girl?" Zhou Xinran, true to her gossipy nature, pressed on.

"Boy." Lin Xuechun swiped her phone, and Xi Chenzhou's message popped into her eyes.

xcz: [Are you asleep?]

Olaf: [Not yet.]

Lin Xuechun had just finished typing when a voice call request popped up on the other end.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Lin Xuechun plugged in her earphones and answered the call.

"Feed?" she asked softly.

"What are you doing?" Xi Chenzhou's pleasant voice came through the earphones, sounding nonchalant.

"Here—" Lin Xuechun had only uttered one word when a strange feeling washed over her, and she couldn't help but call out.

Realizing she was still on voice, she hurriedly covered her mouth.

Waaaaah... It must be because she lied to Zhou Xinran just now, which triggered the punishment.

And Xi Chenzhou must have heard it just now. How embarrassing! She'd never be able to face him again. She was just about to find an excuse to hang up when that feeling came over her again.

An overwhelming force is coming!

She curled her toes up, biting her lip hard, trying to resist this unfamiliar feeling—

"What's wrong?" Xi Chenzhou heard it, as expected.

"N-nothing, I'm going to sleep..." Lin Xuechun barely managed to keep up the conversation. She was about to say goodnight when she was punished again. She uncontrollably cried out, and the words "goodnight" on her tongue were completely distorted.

"Are you running? Your breathing sounds a bit rapid."

"N-nothing, what are you doing?" Lin Xuechun changed the subject.

"I...?" Xi Chenzhou leaned against the headboard, his gaze drifting downwards before being blocked by a certain protrusion.

I miss her.

But fearing he might frighten her, he swallowed hard and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm going to sleep too. Goodnight."

"Good night."

After replying with those two words, Lin Xuechun quickly ended the voice call, then threw her phone down, sat up in bed, and gritted her teeth at the floor beneath the bed.

"Zhou, Xin, Ran!"

"You liar!"

She stared with her clear, almond-shaped eyes, her face flushed, her hair slightly disheveled, and the neckline of her pajamas askew, revealing a large expanse of fair skin on her shoulder. What lie detector? It wasn't one at all!

"Pure baby, let me explain..." Zhou Xinran suppressed a laugh, feeling guilty. "This really is a lie detector, I'm not lying to you. But it's called a couple's lie detector, it's designed for fun interactions between couples. I just bought it and haven't used it yet, let me let you try it out."

"Was that fun, baby? Did you enjoy it just now?!"

"What a relief! You're going to kill me, Zhou Xinran!" Lin Xuechun covered her cheeks with both hands, her palms burning from the heat of her cheeks.

Waaaaah, that was so embarrassing...

"What should we do? Xi Chenzhou must have heard us..."

"Was that Xi Chenzhou's call just now?" Zhou Xinran asked knowingly. Actually, while Lin Xuechun was answering the voice call, she had secretly climbed a few steps up the stairs next to the bed and peeked at the voice interface. Seeing Xi Chenzhou's profile picture, she had a mischievous idea and deliberately manipulated it.

"It's him." Lin Xuechun grabbed a handful of hair in embarrassment and anger, then collapsed onto the bed with a look of utter despair.

It’s over.

She could no longer look Xi Chenzhou in the eye.

No, it should be that Xi Chenzhou could no longer look at her directly.

Men are naturally more sensitive in that area than women, so they're bound to have all sorts of wild thoughts.

Ah ah ah ah ah!

Shame to death!

Lin Xuechun tossed and turned on the bed like a boiled shrimp.

Zhou Xinran climbed onto the bed to coax her, "Oh, baby, don't be angry. How about I let you play this game once?"
