I downloaded the app and discovered that my childhood sweetheart's affection level had skyrocke

"hurry up--"

"Let me bend over for a bit!"

"What the hell?"

Lin Zhou could only watch Ye Zhiyu control her character, flying around before finally being slapped to death by a monster. He was speechless. "Hey, is this some kind of dragon-climbing hurdle? You can't even climb over three bugs?"

"Don't rush, I know you're anxious, but don't rush, hang in there," Ye Zhiyu said, but in reality her face was flushed, her eyes fixed on the content on the screen.

The red is warm.

It turned bright red, and even my neck turned red.

Ye Zhiyu doesn't really have any gaming talent, but she really likes playing cool characters or weapons, like the Monster Hunter game the two of them are playing now, where Ye Zhiyu is using a katana.

He's bad at games but loves to play; being cool once makes him happy all day.

"Never mind, you just watch from the side, I can do it myself." Lin Zhou's character carried a greatsword and rolled around with the silly cat.

"No! I'll help you!"

Ye Zhiyu approached again, only to be kicked to death by the monster once more.

Mission failed.

"I'm not playing anymore." After seeing this, Ye Zhiyu threw the game console aside and lay down on Lin Zhou's bed. "This machine is trash. The game is too laggy, the frame rate is too low, and it has no feel at all."

"I have no problems playing games on PC with a controller."

Lin Zhou: "..."

Sure enough, Ye Zhiyu's mouth was the most stubborn part of her whole body.

Ye Zhiyu lay there for a while, then let out a fish-like squeak before nudging Lin Zhou with her toe. "Hey, get me some clothes. I'm going to take a shower. I'm so tired, I don't want to move."

"Take it yourself, there are plenty in the closet, aren't there?" Lin Zhou said.

"Ugh, I came all this way to help you in the middle of the night, what a heartless man... Sigh, what a traitor." Ye Zhiyu shook her head and sighed as she sat up, then went to Lin Zhou's wardrobe to look around, and finally casually took out a set of white clothes and underwear.

"Feed?! Those are my underwear." Lin Zhou said immediately after noticing this.

"I'm just looking around, I'm not going to wear your clothes."

"What's so interesting about this?"

"You said I should sprinkle some Tiger Balm in it—"

"ha?!"

Finally, Ye Zhiyu obediently went to take a shower. After a while, she came out while drying her hair. When she saw Lin Zhou sitting in front of the computer watching anime, she drawled, "Zhouzi—help me dry my hair."

"Blow it yourself." Lin Zhou said without turning his head. "The hairdryer is right behind you."

"Tsk, heartless..."

While Lin Zhou was watching the show, he suddenly felt a blur before his eyes and his thigh sink. Ye Zhiyu had sat on his lap, grinning mischievously, "If you don't help me, I won't let you watch it."

"don't want."

"Hurry up~" Ye Zhiyu said, lifting her chin, "or I'll crawl into your clothes and get you wet."

"Yes, yes, yes." Lin Zhou had no choice but to pick up the hairdryer and help Ye Zhiyu blow-dry her hair. Her hair was not long to begin with, and her neat bob that reached her shoulders was exceptionally smooth when blow-dried.

"Your technique is alright," Ye Zhiyu said. "My back is wet too, let me blow on it."

"Right, after all, I used to blow-dry my sister's hair a lot."

Upon hearing Lin Zhou's words, Ye Zhiyu paused for a moment, then tilted her head and said, "Oh..."

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet. After a while, Ye Zhiyu, who had dried her hair, got up and lay down on the bed next to her. "Good night."

"Don't sleep in my bed, go back to your room," Lin Zhou said.

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhiyu suddenly clutched the blanket beside her, her voice becoming soft and sweet, "Zhouzi, I... I'm afraid of the dark."

"Nobody would believe you."

Ye Zhiyu said, "Shouldn't you be happy that such a cute girl is sleeping with you?"

"I have a feeling you're up to no good." Lin Zhou wasn't fooled by Ye Zhiyu's appearance; this guy's eyes never lit up with a single good idea.

"So what? You're not going to play games all night?"

"Don't we have class tomorrow?"

"So you still remember?!"

"That's right, my grades are so good," Ye Zhiyu said.

"..."

After Lin Zhou got into bed, Ye Zhiyu lazily played on her phone beside him.

There seemed to be no romantic tension between the two; their natural demeanor made them seem more like close brothers or best friends.

After casually scrolling through some videos, Lin Zhou noticed the even breathing sounds coming from beside him. He turned his head and saw that Ye Zhiyu had fallen asleep with her face pressed against the pillow!

Ok?

"He's already asleep?" Lin Zhou was taken aback. Does this guy fall asleep that quickly?

Lin Zhou wasn't sleepy yet, since it wasn't even ten o'clock. He was about to turn down the light to make Ye Zhiyu more comfortable—but as he sat up, Ye Zhiyu also groggily sat up, rubbing her eyes.

"Good morning, go get me a rice noodle roll, with an egg and shrimp."

"You're crazy, didn't you just fall asleep?"

"The pillows on your bed are too worn out." Ye Zhiyu finally realized, and she yawned. "Could you buy some better ones?"

"Isn't it because you insisted on sleeping in my bed?!"

"You've got it wrong. That was my second personality's request," Ye Zhiyu said very seriously. "I didn't mean it that way at all."

Lin Zhou sighed, "It's amazing that you can create a setting anytime."

"Feed Linzhou."

"Um?"

"Reach out your hand."

"Hand?" Upon hearing this, Lin Zhou stretched out his hand, and Ye Zhiyu rolled over and rested her head on his arm. "Yoooooooo, not bad, that's fine."

Lin Zhou: "?"

"My hand isn't your pillow." Before Lin Zhou could finish speaking, he noticed that Ye Zhiyu's expression instantly relaxed, as if she had fallen asleep again.

Falling asleep instantly?!

real or fake? !

It's an act, absolutely an act!

Lin Zhou observed for a while, and after finding no flaws, he picked up his phone and opened the Heartbeat app, intending to expose Ye Zhiyu's trick. However, he was stunned when he opened her profile—

Character: Ye Zhiyu

Favorability: 11+

Appearance: 98

Stamina: 99

Wisdom: 82

Status: Deep asleep

Is she really asleep?

But why did my favorability rating drop again?

eleven?

Lin Zhou really couldn't understand the favorability rating displayed on the app. Eleven should be considered very low, right? But the way he interacted with Ye Zhiyu didn't seem like it was a low favorability rating.

Could it be...

Lin Zhou thought of a possibility,

Is it yandere level?

But thinking about it carefully, that doesn't make sense, because the app isn't fake; if it says "affinity level," then it is "affinity level."

"I just can't do anything with you." Lin Zhou stopped thinking and adjusted his posture, trying to make Ye Zhiyu more comfortable.

Even though they were very close, and he could feel her body temperature and even smell her scent clearly, Lin Zhou didn't feel that flutter in his heart when he saw Ye Zhiyu—was it because they were too familiar with each other?

For some reason, it felt like an old married couple.

Lin Zhou was playing on his phone when he suddenly thought of Bai Wanwan. Was she still peeking at him?
