Chapter 251
Su Gou hurriedly yanked back his shirt and put it on.
His movements radiated panic. Without even checking which side faced out, he pulled it straight over his head.
When he realized his mistake, he blushed, quickly took it off, and put it on again.
He noticed “Youyou” staring at him.
Su Gou scratched his head in embarrassment, looking a little dejected.
“Am I stupid?”
Ji Lin finally deigned to answer him, saying flatly.
“At least you’re self-aware.”
Su Gou did not get angry. “That’s fine. You can be the smart one.”
Ji Lin: …
Too lazy to deal with Su Gou, he looked at Yun Youyou, who had been pretending to be invisible in the corner.
Yun Youyou was still immersed in that sublime moment between her ship.
Once people reached a certain age, they simply had to ship something.
People could ship Ultraman with the Little Mermaid. Nothing in this world was unshippable.
She noticed Ji Lin watching her.
Yun Youyou looked at the sky, the floor, and her fingers–anywhere but Ji Lin.
Ji Lin could do nothing with her.
When he saw her reach for Su Gou’s abs, the normally calm Ji Lin had felt his head about to explode.
Shrill alarms screamed through his mind, filling him with irritation.
Before he realized it, he had already spoken.
He regretted it briefly, yet felt relieved that he had interrupted Yun Youyou’s wicked plan in time.
To his surprise, Yun Youyou hesitated and then darted out a hand to touch them anyway.
Ji Lin: …
He felt both helpless and irritated.
A dark thought even rose in his mind: what was so special about Su Gou’s abs? His were much better.
But it remained only a thought.
Ji Lin still possessed a sense of shame. He would never voice such jealous nonsense in public.
“Come here.”
Feeling inexplicably guilty, Yun Youyou pretended not to hear.
Even she did not know why she felt guilty.
When she refused to approach, Ji Lin simply walked over himself.
Yun Youyou: …
Don’t come over!
Despite Yun Youyou’s useless prayers, Ji Lin stopped in front of her.
More than half the light vanished instantly.
Through a narrow gap, Yun Youyou could still see Su Gou nearby, his face twisted with jealousy.
She desperately wanted to give this blessing to him instead.
“Keke is looking for you.”
Hearing that Ji Lin did not pursue what had just happened, Yun Youyou secretly sighed in relief.
Wait. Why was she relieved?
I, Yun Youyou, sleep soundly and eat well. At most, I occasionally do something wicked. What do I have to be nervous about?
Wicked deeds, wicked soul. The wicked always rise above the crowd!
Once she figured that out, Yun Youyou immediately returned to normal.
“Why is Keke looking for me? Where did he go?”
Yun Youyou looked around for the adorable Lu Keke.
She had not seen him since dinner and had no idea where he had run off to play.
Yun Youyou started to squeeze through the gap beside Ji Lin.
Ji Lin suddenly stepped sideways, his tall figure immediately blocking her path.
Yun Youyou looked up.
Ji Lin looked down.
Their eyes met in midair.
His deep eyes were as dangerous as whirlpools, narrow and alluring at the corners.
Meeting such a gaze truly tested one’s composure.
“Why did you reach out to touch his… stomach?”
Ji Lin paused, then ultimately chose stomach instead of eight-pack abs.
Yun Youyou had not expected him to be so cunning.
Claiming Lu Keke wanted her had only been a feint to lower her guard.
Once Yun Youyou completely relaxed, he delivered the fatal strike.
Excellent. He was one sly old bastard.
For every rule, there was a workaround.
Yun Youyou remained perfectly calm and countered, “That’s where you’re wrong.”
Ji Lin looked into her eyes.
“How am I wrong?”
Yun Youyou slowly explained.
“First, if someone takes off his shirt, will he be cold?”
Ji Lin nodded. “Yes.”
Yun Youyou clapped her hands. “Exactly!”
“Su Gou took off his shirt. He must have been freezing!”
Ji Lin said nothing.
Yun Youyou suddenly grabbed his hand.
Ji Lin went blank for a moment.
By the time he recovered, her warm little hand had already withdrawn.
Yun Youyou asked, “Was my hand warm?”
Ji Lin was about to nod but abruptly changed his mind.
“Too fast. I didn’t feel it.”
Yun Youyou did not suspect him.
“Too fast?”
She placed her hand over the back of his again. “Can you feel it now?”
Ji Lin nodded.
Yun Youyou asked, “Warm?”
“Warm.”
She had gotten the answer she wanted, and her smile grew brighter.
“Su Gou’s stomach was cold, but my hand was warm!”
“I was only afraid he’d catch a cold. I wanted to shield his belly button from the wind. What bad intentions could I possibly have?”
Yun Innocent-and-Kind Youyou Helpful-to-Others.
Ji Lin: …
Looking at such an innocent, kind, and unpretentious Yun Youyou, he had nothing to say.
What else could he do?
Naturally, he chose to forgive her.
When Ji Lin fell silent, Yun Youyou pressed her advantage.
“Oh, I haven’t seen Keke in ages. I really miss him.”
Muttering to herself, Yun Youyou turned sideways and squeezed out of the corner.
This time, Ji Lin did not stop her.
Yun Youyou shot upstairs.
The living room fell silent again.
Ji Lin stood there for a while before turning around.
He had taken only a few steps when Su Gou grabbed the hem of his clothes.
Su Gou opened his mouth to speak.
“Yun Youyou” glanced at him and said, “I don’t like abs. I like men who cover themselves completely.”
Su Gou froze.
But he quickly nodded and agreed loudly.
“Okay! From now on, I’ll cover myself completely! I won’t expose even half a centimeter of skin!”
Ji Scheming-Dog Lin went upstairs in satisfaction.
Everyone was satisfied.
In a sense, it was another happy ending.
Yun Youyou wandered around the second floor and finally found Lu Keke reading in the small sitting room.
“What are you reading?”
Yun Youyou curiously picked up the book and nearly died on the spot when she saw the title.
The Ultra Ghost’s Personal Female Bodyguard
The synopsis was even more suffocating.
He came from the oldest Aoligei family on Planet Ultraman and was the most powerful man in his clan.
She came from Earth and was a super Mary Sue Princess whose tears spiraled with dazzling rainbow light.
Every Thursday, they transformed into excavator chickens and dug and dug and dug in the great big graveyard, taking tiny slaps while acting massively shameless.
Yun Youyou made the old-man-on-the-subway-looking-at-his-phone face.
What kind of invincible fever dream was this book?
What if it corrupted the child?
Yun Youyou quickly confiscated it.
She lowered her head and asked Lu Keke.
“Did you understand it?”
Lu Keke looked soft and adorable. “I can’t read.”
Yun Youyou sighed in relief.
Fortunately, this kid’s illiteracy had saved him.
For a child’s innocent world, this book was no different from a nuclear bomb. It could easily blow his entire worldview to pieces.
