Chapter 407: Drive Them Away

After everyone hurriedly pulled the two apart, Yan Yu reluctantly stood up and saw that Lin Ning's face was still flushed, tears of shame and embarrassment, and her unyielding eyes were filled with tears, which made her look very cute.

I knew it...playing Twister, and it was planned by Chen Lingyun, it will definitely not end well.

Su Yunjin estimated that it was about time, so she pushed open the door and emerged from the restroom. Seeing Lin Ning's disheveled clothes, tears in her eyes, and puffy cheeks, she guessed what had happened. She exchanged glances with Yan Yu for a moment, sighing helplessly, and went to comfort little Ningning.

"I don't want to play anymore." Lin Ning was still angry. She stomped her feet and turned away angrily.

"In that case, let's stop here for today." Chen Lingyun put away the cards.

Everyone left the game table and followed Lin Ning to watch TV. Only Xie Ruoxi sat there blankly. Suddenly, an idea came to her mind:

"what about me?"

Although it’s a good thing that I didn’t make a fool of myself, why does it feel like everyone has had a turn and I’m the only one left out?

Yan Yu sat in the middle of the sofa, secretly observing Lin Ning's expression across from him. She looked embarrassed, angry, and even a little... aggrieved? Was it my imagination?

"Don't worry too much, Captain." Su Yunjin beside him said in a voice transmission, "I've talked to her. She's just embarrassed for the time being, so she will definitely ignore you tonight. She should be calm by tomorrow."

"Thank you, Secretary Su." Yan Yu was immediately overjoyed, thinking that Secretary Su would not let me down.

The difference between Secretary Su and Secretary Ye is that Secretary Ye is concise and capable, better at doing things, while Secretary Su is kind and refined, better at dealing with people—for example, managing the team's ideological work, interacting with the school and the instructors, and so on. In her previous life, she often managed the team on behalf of Chen Lingyun, doing some of the more detailed personnel work, and these abilities are proven.

"Are you still thinking of making me your secretary?" Su Yunjin asked with a chuckle.

"You've never given up, okay?" Yan Yu chuckled. "If Chen Lingyun hadn't intervened at the beginning of last year, you might have agreed to it."

Su Yunjin was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a little frustrated.

If I had known that I would develop feelings for the captain as we got to know each other better, I should have agreed right away... Unfortunately, life cannot be repeated, and I didn't even know I would join the team at that time.

"Is it too late for me to agree now?" She quickly collected her thoughts and joked.

"It's too late." Yan Yu was happy. "You are a member of my team now. It is natural for a team member to do things for the captain. There is no room for bargaining."

"Okay." Su Yunjin was not surprised.

If a captain could be conquered so easily, he would not be a captain.

Okay, I'll try my best too!

"Captain, would you like some fruit?" she asked, picking up the fruit plate, her beautiful eyes and eyebrows curved in a smile.

Lin Ning sat alone on the single sofa opposite, staring at the TV without blinking, but her mind was full of random thoughts.

Blame it on the Captain!
We were just playing games. If you didn't say anything, I wouldn't be so embarrassed... But you told me clearly, if I don't get really angry, wouldn't it mean that I don't care about physical contact with you?

Captain, can't you think about it from a girl's perspective?

But Yunjin is right. If I make such a fuss, everyone will think I can't afford to play.

Alas, it’s all the captain’s fault.

But the captain must be regretting it now, as he has ruined our relationship... Never mind, I'll just pretend nothing happened tomorrow and go say hello to the captain.

Lin Ning silently excused Yan Yu in her heart. But unfortunately, Yan Yu did not show any regrets and just whispered to Chen Lingyun:
"So what did you do?"

"Guess," Chen Lingyun said playfully. "The dice aren't hollow or filled with lead," Yan Yu pondered. "There's nothing under the table, so let's rule out external interference first... Did you practice the throwing technique specifically?"

"No, guess again." Chen Lingyun continued to laugh.

"I can't guess it." Yan Yu was too lazy to think and urged, "Announce the answer quickly!"

"Okay, I'll give you a hint," Chen Lingyun said slowly, "The material of the dice."

"...Fuck, is this dice a magic weapon?" Yan Yu was immediately shocked.

"It's not a magic weapon, but it's made with a similar technique to a flying sword," Chen Lingyun announced. "So after refining it, I can just quietly activate my true energy and make it roll according to my will, or even jump up and hit someone. Of course, it definitely won't have the same lethality as a flying sword."

"Could it be that someone has already cheated like this?" Yan Yu asked in surprise.

"Yes," Chen Lingyun said casually, "In the underground gambling houses in Lingnan, there was an unregistered civilian supernatural being who used similar methods to manipulate the steel ball turntable to cheat people out of money. The competitors nearby sent a gambling master to disrupt him, but they couldn't crack his cheating methods, so they simply reported him - and that's how we caught him."

"What about the cards?" Yan Yu continued to ask, "How do you make everyone draw the cards you want?"

"I didn't do anything wrong with this," Chen Lingyun said frankly. "Games with a little uncertainty are more fun."

"I don't believe it." Yan Yu was skeptical.

"Believe it or not." Chen Lingyun said with a smile.

Yan Yu wanted to say something, but suddenly heard Zhao Yuanzhen's voice transmission asking him:
"Little thief! Why do I always have a feeling that all the girls in this team are interested in you?"

Did you just find out? Yan Yu was too exhausted to complain. I thought the team had already made their plans known by the last time we went to Mirror Lake Shrine.

Oh, that's not right. The Demonic Demon Lady seemed to be refusing to acknowledge her existence as a clone, even arguing that the clone was interfering with her sanity. That's fine, then.

"Why do you think so?" Yan Yu asked tentatively.

"I don't know." Zhao Yuanzhen frowned, "It's just... don't you think I've been jealous more frequently recently than before?"

"It seems so." Yan Yu said seriously, "But this may not be their problem. Could it be your problem?"

"What could possibly be wrong with me?!" The demonic demon lady flew into a rage. "Whose Taoist partner are you? Whose side should you be on? Think it over before you speak!"

"I don't mean to criticize you," Yan Yu said lightly, "I'm just pointing out a possibility: maybe you care about me more than before, so you're more likely to be jealous of others."

Me? Care about you?
The demon woman sneered in her heart: Absolutely impossible!

"The reason I'm jealous isn't because I care about you," she argued confidently, "but because since you're my Taoist partner, regardless of whether we have feelings for each other, I have to keep all the vixens around you away. Otherwise, people will say I, Fairy Mi Zhen, have a green head. Don't I have any shame? This has nothing to do with love; it's purely possessiveness!"

Hey, possessiveness is much dirtier than love!
Yan Yu said casually:

"Yes, yes, then you should drive them away quickly."

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. The demon girl immediately began to think, is this the thief hinting that I can just go ahead and do it, and he will cover for me afterwards?
Who should I drive away then?
Ruoxi is not a candidate, but she is my best friend; Ningning is not a candidate, but the food she cooks is very much to my liking; Yunjin will be on hold for now, but since she is diligent in cleaning and speaks nicely, I will put her on the shortlist.

Then there's only one answer left! Lingyun, get out of my Taoist partner's team!

The demon girl looked at Chen Lingyun with ill intentions and was about to send a message to her to mock her when she suddenly heard her stand up and say with a smile:
"Want a midnight snack? There seems to be a little gem of a shop nearby that specializes in braised food. You can have a rider deliver it to your door."

"I want to eat!" Zhao Yuanzhen immediately put aside the idea of driving people away, raised his hand high and responded positively.
