Chapter 99: Chapter 99: Lin Yu Might Not Be Entirely Without a Chance, Right?

Lin Yu took a deep breath, his tone hesitant, "I am a normal eighteen-year-old boy, I think it's pretty normal to know a bit, right?"

Liu Ou fell silent.

She didn't know why the topic had suddenly turned this way, just, quite sudden and quite awkward?

So when Xie Xiao and the others came over, they saw the two of them quietly and awkwardly sipping their milk tea.

Xie Xiao called out, "Lin Yu, Senior Liu Ou..."

Luo Yanran sat down next to Liu Ou, "What are you two talking about?"

Both of them blurted out in unison, "Nothing!"

Xie Xiao and Luo Yanran were simultaneously taken aback, then exchanged glances.

Liu Ou, as if to prevent them from asking further, hastily interjected, "What would you like to drink?"

Luo Yanran said, "I'm not drinking."

Xie Xiao passed his phone to Lin Yu, "We just had something to drink. Didn't we order takeout?"

However, the group tacitly avoided mentioning what they had just done in the hotel room.

The atmosphere for a moment turned somewhat weird, with awkwardness pervading the air.

Just that everyone's reason for feeling awkward was different.

At last, it was Liu Ou who broke the silence, looking towards Luo Yanran, "I'm a bit tired and want to go back to rest for a while. Luoluo, do you want to go back together?"

After all, they had really been boating under the big sun for over half an hour, on top of having sat in a car all morning.

Liu Ou's claim of being tired was not completely an excuse; she was indeed tired.

Luo Yanran glanced at Xie Xiao then said, "I'm a bit tired too. Let's go back together."

Xie Xiao patted Lin Yu and stood up, "Then you go back and rest for a while, shall we have dinner together later? And then visit the temple fair?"

"That sounds good. An hour's sleep is like a second life." Liu Ou breathed a sigh of relief.

The topic just naturally shifted, and it seemed the awkwardness faded away too.

The group walked back to the hotel.

Liu Ou's room was 1006, just one floor away.

Xie Xiao and Lin Yu escorted them to the door but didn't go in.

They said goodbye to the girls before heading back to the elevator.

As soon as they got on the elevator, Xie Xiao asked, "What's going on with you and Senior Liu Ou?"

Lin Yu looked at him and sighed.

On the other side, Luo Yan also asked, "Why do you seem so weird with Lin Yu?"

Liu Ou flopped onto the bed, her tone drawn out, "Weird? And you and Xie Xiao aren't weird?"

That remark made Luo Yan immediately think about what the two of them had done in the room... Sёarᴄh the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

If it weren't for Hai Ou and the others knocking on the door, how far would Xie Xiao have gone?

Once this thought surfaced, she couldn't stop the implications rushing through her mind.

So Liu Ou watched as her casual remark made her best friend's face turn completely red.

She sat up abruptly, pulling Luo Yan over to sit next to her, "You two... you didn't really do anything, did you?"

Her tone was somewhat urgent, "Did you take... any precautions?"

"No, we didn't do anything!" Luo Yan anxiously waved her hands, afraid her friend would spiral into wild speculation, "We really... we really didn't do anything..."

It was just a kiss...

"If you didn't do anything, why are you blushing like that?" Liu Ou's tone was obviously full of disbelief, "And you came to find us so late..."

Luo Yan wasn't good at lying, especially when the other person was Liu Ou.

She said in a low voice, "Really didn't do much, just a kiss... and a touch..."

Liu Ou sighed, "Luoluo, you're so pure-hearted..."

And I was just discussing spam ads with someone!?

Liu Ou felt a bit embarrassed again.

Meanwhile, downstairs, Xie Xiao was somewhat silent, and Lin Yu was a bit restless.

He glanced at the silent Xie Xiao, "Should I not have talked to her about that?"

Although he didn't want to admit it, Lin Yu felt his EQ was definitely not that great, certainly not as good as Xie Xiao's.

Xie Xiao slowly exhaled, "With a different girl, she might have thought you were being a pervert."

Lin Yu stood up immediately, "Then I'll go explain!"

"Explain what?" Xie Xiao sighed, "Sit down. She's resting, and Liu Ou isn't that kind of person either, but honestly, I'm really surprised by you, Lin Yu."

His tone was one of astonishment; discussing spam ads with the girl he liked, what kind of miraculous move was that?

Lin Yu gave him a look, frustration written on his face, "I wasn't thinking much at the time, just afraid of an awkward silence."

"Next time, think it through a bit more," Xie Xiao seriously suggested, "You're lucky it was Liu Ou. Otherwise, you'd probably be branded a creep."

"Is it really okay? Won't Liu Ou think I'm a creep?" Lin Yu earnestly inquired.

Xie Xiao glanced at him, "I'm not sure about that, but I think you'll have a chance to see what Liu Ou thinks if you two can be alone tonight."

After all, men and women see these things differently, and Xie Xiao felt his advice might not be that relevant.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu looked completely disheartened.

The man seemed to have lost his soul, and this state continued until the four of them went out for dinner.

He still looked sullen.

The place for dinner was two streets away from the temple fair.

The four thought about walking to the fair after eating since it didn't start until eight in the evening.

Since they weren't in school, it was natural for Luo Yanran and Xie Xiao to hold hands.

Xie Xiao glanced at the figures of Lin Yu and Liu Ou ahead; evidently trying to give them space, they both conscientiously walked in front.

Only, the atmosphere between them was visibly a bit awkward.

"What's wrong with Lin Yu?" Luo Yan asked Xie Xiao in a lowered voice, "They both seem off, and when I asked Hai Ou, she changed the subject."

Now, remembering, Luo Yanran realized belatedly, was Hai Ou doing it on purpose?

To make her embarrassed and then forget to ask her!

Xie Xiao felt this was indeed quite awkward, especially since Liu Ou wasn't willing to talk about it.

So he vaguely said, "I'm not very clear, but from what Lin Yu said, it seems like there's some misunderstanding between them."

Luo Yan uttered an "oh" and then laughed a bit, "This is actually the first time I've seen Hai Ou run out of things to say and look embarrassed."

She watched Liu Ou's retreating figure and said softly, "Back in sophomore year when she had just transferred to our school, one time during PE class, some boys were secretly watching some… movies in the classroom. We didn't know and just pushed the door open and entered; the scene was actually quite embarrassing. But Hai Ou asked them without changing her expression, 'Why does this website you're watching not have any spam ads?'... The boys were all stunned, and then one of them stammered that it was downloaded..."

With that, Liu Ou diffused the awkwardness and even commented, "Take it in moderation guys," as she walked away.

It was as if it was nothing to her.

The matter wasn't brought up again afterward.

Luo Yan thought she was impressive—had it been her, she'd probably have been at a loss, and those boys would likely have felt embarrassed and annoyed.

After hearing the story, Xie Xiao raised an eyebrow, looking at the two ahead.

In that case, maybe Lin Yu wasn't completely out of the game...

After all, he must be the first guy to make Liu Ou feel awkward, right?
