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

Of course, it wasn't with any strange intentions, but simply because I felt this person was too casual, and besides, it would be a shame not to give Qiaoqiao a good beating.

"Don't the guest rooms have beds?" Lin Zhou asked.

Yes.

"Then why don't you go to the guest room?"

"The guest room bed wasn't made at all, your bed is much more comfortable," Ye Zhiyu said lazily. "Wait~ Grape tea with ice, please~"

"Don't treat me, a patient, like a waiter," Lin Zhou asked. "Since you're crying and saying you want to go back to the academy, how many days are you going to stay at my house?"

"Who cried?" Ye Zhiyu immediately retorted.

"you."

"Tsk, nonsense," Ye Zhiyu said. "I've never cried."

"Still being stubborn?!"

Ye Zhiyu said, "Don't worry, there's a twist."

"A plot twist?"

Ye Zhiyu rolled over, her head hanging off the edge of the bed, her long, stockinged legs casually draped over her shoulders. "Yes."

"What a plot twist..."

"I didn't turn over."

"Is this the flip?!" Seeing the salted fish flip over, Lin Zhou didn't know where to begin his吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical comments).

Ye Zhiyu suddenly smiled, "With such a cute girl living with you, shouldn't you hurry up and increase your affection with me? You're actually asking me when I'm leaving."

"I see that you don't understand at all."

"Affection level..." Lin Zhou opened the Heartbeat App and found that Ye Zhiyu's affection level was still unchanging at around 20, although it briefly rose to 30 after the car accident before dropping again.

I don't understand.

I have no idea, is there something wrong with the app?

Forget it, Lin Zhou didn't want to dwell on it. He sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the girl lazily lying on the bed playing games. "Will you dare to speed again next time?"

"It was just a mistake. I forgot to do a divination when I went out that day," Ye Zhiyu said nonchalantly.

"Fortune telling..." Lin Zhou was a little confused by Ye Zhiyu's train of thought. What was going on here?

"Actually, I'm a fortune teller." Ye Zhiyu glanced at Lin Zhou. "Do you believe me? My fortune telling is pretty accurate, you know."

"I'm also the First Emperor, give me 50 points and I'll be your general."

"Hey—I'm telling the truth."

"The last one that said 'believe it or not' has already crashed."

"Cute girls don't lie."

"Oh," Lin Zhou replied casually, but then noticed Ye Zhiyu roll closer to him. "Lin Zhou, I have something to tell you."

"What?"

"Next time my dad calls you, just say I'm not doing well and I'm short of money," Ye Zhiyu said, squinting. "Ideally, he should send me 500,000 yuan a month for spending money."

Five hundred thousand in pocket money...

I only have 1,500!

Lin Zhou was silent for a while before saying, "He only called me after you got into trouble. Do you think he'll call me again? Besides, you already have a cell phone."

"You agree first."

"Yes, yes, yes." Lin Zhou felt that Ye Zhiyu only knew how to boast about Lao Deng's money, but her father did seem to be very rich. "Your dad is so busy with work, when are you coming back to China?"

"I don't know... I recently attended a meeting with a head of state and a bunch of big shots." Ye Zhiyu was used to her parents' busy schedule.

"That does sound like he's quite busy," Lin Zhou said. "Your dad didn't even have you by his side to mentor him."

"It was my own idea to stay in China. I didn't want to trouble my dad. Actually, there's not much point in going abroad anyway..." Ye Zhiyu tilted her head and pointed to her face. "I'm my dad's favorite child."

"Your favorite child...do you have any other siblings?" Lin Zhou asked curiously. In his memory, wasn't Ye Zhiyu an only child?

"About a dozen or so."

"..." Lin Zhou felt that Ye Zhiyu was starting to speak in a mystical way again, but he was used to it, because after knowing her for so many years, Lin Zhou had never met Ye Zhiyu's other brothers and sisters.

Just as Lin Zhou was chatting with Ye Zhiyu, he suddenly felt a strange gaze drifting over from outside the window.

It's as if something is watching us.

Could it be...? Lin Zhou thought of a possibility.

He coughed lightly and silently put on his glasses.

Looking out the window—

At that moment, inside the house across the street, a girl with pigtails was peeking through binoculars. Sure enough, it was Bai Wanwan!

Sure enough, it's both scary and cute.

However, yandere behavior needs to be addressed. Lin Zhou is now absolutely certain that Bai Wanwan really likes him. It would be a lie to say he doesn't like this kind of abnormal possessiveness.

"Once my health improves, I'm going to control you ruthlessly," Lin Zhou thought to himself. He didn't want to see Wanwan turn out like that.

Let's correct the yandere first.

He looked away and glanced at Xiaoyu again, who was still lying there lazily.

It was surprisingly interesting.

"Are you nearsighted?" Ye Zhiyu noticed that Lin Zhou was wearing glasses and found it a little strange.

"No, I just think I might look better this way."

"ugly."

"Huh?!"

After his glasses ran out of battery, Lin Zhou put them away and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

"Do you need my help?" Ye Zhiyu's voice came.

"Forget it." Putting aside the fact that Wanwan was watching from outside, Ye Zhiyu didn't enjoy it at all when she was rubbing his back, and he couldn't see anything when he turned around.

After taking a shower, Lin Zhou sat down in a chair and noticed a new notification pop up on his phone.

[Heartbeat App: You have a new task, come and check it out!]

A new mission?

Lin Zhou clicked on it—

Temporary Task: Complete the Aquarium Trip

Rewards: Constitution +, Charisma +, Random Rewards +

Is it a temporary task?

"Is it for improving physique again? I need this." Lin Zhou moved his arm, which was wrapped in bandages.

Sitting in the chair, considering that Wanwan was probably still peeking, he took out his phone and sent her a message.

Lin Zhou: Wanwan, what are you doing?

The other party was silent for a while before the text being typed appeared on the screen.

Bai Wanwan: I just finished studying for a while and am about to take a shower. Is something wrong?

Studying is good, studying... studying secretly.

Lin Zhou: It's nothing, but you seemed a little unwell today. Are you alright?

Bai Wanwan: It's nothing...

Bai Wanwan: I'm sorry...

Lin Zhou: Why apologize? Don't keep things bottled up inside, you can talk to me.

Bai Wanwan: Okay... I will.

There was no further response. Clearly, Bai Wanwan didn't want to be in that state either, but she was simply out of control.

Just then, Ye Zhiyu's voice suddenly came from the bathroom, "Lin Zhou—could you get me my clothes? I forgot!"

After hearing this, Lin Zhou put down his phone.

"They're here."
