I set you up on a blind date, and you've managed to overcome all the weirdness?

"Hmph, fine, I won't look then, you stingy person."

Chu Chu muttered a dissatisfied remark, and then, still unwilling to give up, swept her hands over Lin Yan's shoulder twice.

After confirming that there were no other strange traces, he finally calmed down a bit.

"But brother, the medicine you made this time tastes really strong."

"Are you afraid that Saya-neechan will smell something when she comes back, so you're deliberately using this to cover up the scent?"

Chu Chu inadvertently delivered another blow.

"Shut up! I'm just disinfecting!"

Lin Yan's sore spot was touched, his old face turned red, and he waved his hand, causing a splash of water.

"Ah Jiu! Take this piece of junk phone out and throw it in the living room! And while you're at it, close the door behind you!"

"Oh." Ajiu nodded obediently, picked up her phone, and turned to leave.

"Hehe~ My brother's feeling guilty~"

Chu Chu's laughter faded into the distance until the sound of the lock clicking shut rang out, at which point Lin Yan got up again and leaned against the wooden tub.

He swept his hair back and stared at the system panel in the void, lost in thought.

Perhaps it was the guilt he felt after forming the bond, but now he always wanted to make it up to Saya.

He gave himself a very good reason.

As a qualified partner, how could you not even offer a word of concern and care at a time like this?

Lin Yan opened the [Non-human High-Quality Blind Date Group] and conspicuously sent an [Exclusive Red Envelope] in the group.

To show his sincerity, he put a full 500 points of affinity value into it.

[Red envelope recipient: Slit-mouthed woman Saya].

[Lin Yan]: @Slit-Mouthed Woman·Saya, you've worked hard cleaning up the trash. Don't overwork yourself. Be careful. Everything is fine in Jiangcheng. Come back soon.

At first, the group was quiet and no one spoke.

Saya's profile picture is still offline, probably because she's busy teaching a lesson to the cultists and doesn't have time to check her phone right now.

But the night owls in the group who are used to staying up all night couldn't sit still.

【Funeral Love Family · Heavy Metal Nun】: ?

【Funeral Love Family - Reunion Nun】: Holy crap, what are you doing posting this in the middle of the night? Why don't you send this exclusive red envelope to her via private message?

Why do you have to throw this into the big group chat and get in my way? You're making me so disgusted I'm practically singing off-key!

【Cyber ​​Wraith Chu Chu】: Oh, Sister Sister, you just don't understand.

My brother didn't post this in the wrong place; he's clearly showing off his affection for that old woman! [Crying and biting a handkerchief.jpg]

【Cyber ​​Vengeful Spirit Chu Chu】: Poor Chu Chu works so hard at home monitoring the internet for her brother, and she still gets subjected to their lovey-dovey displays late at night... Waaaa, her brother is so biased!

Chu Chu's speech was still in the familiar style, and Lin Yan rolled his eyes in the bathtub.

This little devil is really something else; if you don't discipline her for three days, she'll be climbing on the roof and tearing off

【Funeral Love Family - Heavy Metal Nun】: Holy crap!!!

The nun had a fiery temper that could ignite at any moment; she had been holding back a lot of anger all along.

Everyone met in a matchmaking group, so why did you two secretly get married?

Are people still daring to come out in the middle of the night and blatantly flaunt their love, disgusting everyone?!

【Funeral Love Family - Heavy Metal Nun】: You really think I'm a pushover? This lousy exclusive red envelope, I'll take it right now!

Lin Yan twitched the corner of his mouth. This time, he sent an exclusive red envelope. Even if the nun pierced through her phone, she wouldn't be able to claim it.

Sure enough, a notification popped up in the group chat.

[The "Funeral Love Family - Heavy Metal Nun" has attempted to claim your red envelope, but the attempt failed.]

[Funeral Love Family - Heavy Metal Nun]: ...Damn it.

[Red-Clad Senior]: Hehehe... Sister Sister is still so irritable. It's just a red envelope, what's so great about it?

The senior student who had been lurking online suddenly resurfaced.

[Red-Clad Senior]: I'm more interested in the little brother's sentiment.

Since Saya-neechan isn't home right now, this little brother's overflowing concern...

[Red-clad senior]: I'll accept it for her.

Lin Yan was about to type a message telling this woman not to join in the fun.

However, the pop-up notification on the screen startled Lin Yan so much that he jumped up!

[Ding! Your exclusive red envelope has been claimed!]

[The senior in red has received your exclusive red envelope!]

"Holy crap?!"

Lin Yan's hand trembled, and he almost slipped in the wooden tub.

The group fell silent at that moment.

Chu Chu was stunned, and the nun was dumbfounded.

How is that possible?!

This is a system-bound [exclusive red envelope]!

How did the senior in red manage to do that?

Lin Yan immediately called the system, as this was clearly a bug.

This time, the system simply played dead, responding with the same message no matter how Lin Yan called out to it:

[The system has not encountered any errors yet. Please wait patiently.]

Lin Yan even began to suspect that the system was broken. "You've got a bug. What am I waiting for?"

[Red-Clad Senior]: Thank you for the pocket money, little brother. As a return gift, I'll visit you in my dreams tonight! [Flying kiss.jpg]

【Funeral Love Family - Heavy Metal Nun】：！！！

【Funeral Love Family - Heavy Metal Nun】: How did you get this?! Do these people have no bottom line?!

[Funeral Love Family - Heavy Metal Nun]: Wait...

The reason Chu Chu won the lucky draw red envelope before was because she was secretly the closest to this guy, and their karmic ties were the tightest.

Now you can even snatch exclusive red envelopes...

【Funeral Love Family · Heavy Metal Nun】: @Red-Clothed Senior, what exactly did you do to this kid? Did you form a bond with him too?

[Mermaid in the Sewers]: Don't talk nonsense, he didn't!

[Cyber ​​Wraith Chu Chu]: This is impossible! My brother hasn't been to your old campus these past few days!

【Cyber ​​Ghost Chu Chu】: @Lin Yan! Brother! What shady business did you do with her behind our backs?!

[The Mermaid from the Sewers]: I told you, they didn't form a bond!

Looking at the suddenly bustling matchmaking group, Lin Yan just wanted to slap her past self from five minutes ago.

Someone had nothing better to do than send out a special red envelope; now look what happened, they've gone too far.

He couldn't understand at all when this senior had left such a deep bond with him.

Moreover, they've gone so far as to deceive the system and forcibly intercept exclusive red envelopes!

But now is not the time to explore this.

This group of eccentrics are all people who love to watch the drama unfold. If Saya sees this chat log when she gets back...

Lin Yan dared not imagine what would happen next.

……

A week passed, and Saya still hadn't returned.

Lin Yan spent the week going back and forth between the bureau and home.

That day, he lay in bed, unable to fall asleep no matter what he tried.

After much deliberation, Lin Yan decided that he could no longer stay in this apartment.

Before Saya comes back with scissors to check up on him, he must quickly find a legitimate reason to get rid of Jun and go to the station to lay low for a while.

Before leaving, he glanced at Ajiu, who was obediently watching SpongeBob SquarePants on the sofa, and Chuchu, who was keeping Ajiu company in the corner of the TV.

"Ah Jiu, watch the house."

"Chuchu, if Sister Saya comes back, just tell her there's an urgent matter at the bureau, a major case. I've had Chief Chen Feng put a gun to her head and drag her out to work overtime."

"Remember, be polite, and make it sound like I have no choice!"
