Chapter 623 Xiao Ning's Diary
A diary is something that is written to be read by others.

Journalists who write diaries subconsciously believe that their diaries can only be read by themselves, but in fact, unless they bury them in a hole and completely forget about them, there is always a risk that they will be dug up by others many years later.

Considering that the risks and benefits are completely disproportionate, it can only be summed up in one sentence - who would write a diary if they are serious?
Lin Ning felt the price of keeping a diary at that moment. Although she snatched the diary back in time, she soon realized from Yan Yu's malicious gaze that her diary had been targeted.

Unless I burn it in front of him now, a week later, a month later, a year later... one day when I'm not paying attention, he will steal the diary and read it!

Lin Ning was shocked, but remained calm. After all, the tsundere character is best at saying one thing and thinking another. She just taught Yan Yu seriously and said:

"Girls' diaries are for themselves. As a boy, you can't read them, okay?"

"Yeah." Yan Yu nodded, "I won't take the initiative to look."

Lin Ning's heart suddenly relaxed, and then she felt extremely relieved and relieved:
Sure enough, the captain is not a bad guy!
I only heard Yan Yu say again:
"But it's okay for me to talk to Lingyun about your diary, right?"

Lin Ning:! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Her mouth opened blankly, her jaw seemed to drop, and her eyes were obviously dull for a moment, and then immediately filled with endless fear, and her voice began to stammer:
"No, I... Captain! What I meant was... don't let Lingyun know. Why did you tell Lingyun? You don't need to tell Lingyun, right?"

With Lingyun's love of fun and her unscrupulous style of doing things, if she knew that I was writing a diary...

Woohoo! I don’t want it!
"That won't do, Ningning," Yan Yu said gently. "I understand you don't trust me to keep your diary secret, so I won't read it. But Lingyun trusts me more than you do, so I can't betray her trust. I promised her that if I come across anything that interests her, I will tell her in time."

Lin Ning was speechless and could only look at Yan Yu with pleading eyes, her face full of "Please don't tell Lingyun", but Yan Yu's eyes were as firm as if he was a man who had made up his mind to divorce.

So the little sister who was doing the test quickly started to think:
Option A: If I show the diary to the captain, then the captain is the only one who has read my diary.

Option B: If I don't show the diary to the captain, he'll tell Lingyun about it, and Lingyun will try every possible means to steal my diary (with her abilities, intelligence, and patience, it's difficult for me to prevent her). Considering our intelligence partnership, she'll likely leak the contents of my diary to the captain, so there will be two people who have seen my diary. If Lingyun leaks it to someone else...

She suddenly shuddered violently.

Choose A! AAAAAAAAA!

"Captain," Lin Ning said with a struggling expression, "My diary doesn't record specific events. It's just some inspirations and fragments of thoughts from my school days... so the content is actually quite boring. But I don't like these things to be seen by others. You must not tell Lingyun about my diary!"

"If you show it to me, I won't let Lingyun know." Yan Yu said with a smile, "If only the two of us know the secret, wouldn't it lose its value if a third person knew it? I won't do that."

The words "a secret known only to the two of us" touched Ningning's sensitive spot. She temporarily ignored the fact that the secret was completely shared unilaterally, so she gritted her teeth, made up her mind, and handed the diary to Yanyu.

Yan Yu flipped through it casually and found that it was indeed just a lot of essays and excerpts.

Things like "The sky is covered with dark clouds, and I feel like it's about to rain", and "Mom cooked a lot of wontons, they are delicious, I am so happy that I can't stop dancing~", the language contains both the innocence and naivety unique to little girls, and the cute side of pretending to be mature and eager to act like an adult, which made Yan Yu want to smile knowingly.

Although the content is indeed empty and boring, the more you watch it, the more brainwashed it becomes, and the more you want to watch it!
Lin Ning sat beside him, eyes wide open and face tense, with a serious expression that said, "If you dare to laugh, you will die." Fortunately, Yan Yu's facial muscle control was also excellent, and he didn't show the slightest smile, leaving Lin Ning no reason to kill him.

The diary is quite thick, and judging by the changes in the handwriting, it spans at least a decade. The first twenty or so pages are simply excerpts of beautiful quotes and a child's reflections, like, "Why are American kids so independent? I want to be independent and smart too," or "The most touching thing is the gentleness of that lowered head, like a lotus on water..."

Turning back the pages, you can see the changes in Ningning's life trajectory and the many confusions unique to adolescence. For example, in junior high school, two boys played well with her and another girl, but one day they suddenly started arguing and stopped talking, and the other girl also began to distance herself from Ningning...

"Don't read it!" Lin Ning flipped the pages roughly and said quickly, "Actually, those two boys both liked me, so they started to get jealous. The other girl liked one of the boys, and after she found out, she stopped being friends with me!"

"I didn't expect that you were a beauty who brought disaster when you were in junior high school." Yan Yu laughed.

"I didn't know at that time! I was only in junior high school!" Lin Ning pouted angrily.

For some reason, her lips looked even more charming and tempting in this posture, which made Yan Yu want to kiss her suddenly to see how Ningning would react.

It’s really strange, I didn’t have this interest before. Maybe it was developed by Hongyu. How sad!

Yan Yu quickly dismissed the idea. He was a worldly-wise man, and it was impossible for him to let his composure slip just because a woman bit him a few times. It must be Ningning's charm that had intensified. After all, she was a serious, straight-haired beauty, and her thoughts were written all over her face. She would definitely not refuse a kiss, so it was normal for him to feel such an impulse towards her.

"You! What are you doing..." Perhaps because she had been staring at him for too long, Lin Ning felt a little shy and her voice immediately became softer.

"Beauty is a disaster." Yan Yu said with disgust.

"Why, why are you scolding me all of a sudden?" Lin Ning argued with him angrily again, "They didn't tell me they liked me. They were just secretly competing with each other. How could I possibly know? That girl was even weirder. One day, she suddenly started spitting at me and saying bad things about me! I even took the initiative to reconcile with her, but she rejected me!"

"This is what it means to be unaware of your own beauty," Yan Yu commented pointedly. "On the one hand, you exude overwhelming charm without realizing it, but on the other hand, you pretend to be pure and innocent, saying, 'Oh, why did you suddenly fall for me? I have no idea.' This is like wanting to be both an otaku and a virtuous woman at the same time, a shameless act."

"Hmph." Lin Ning wasn't angry at all. Instead, she turned her head and said, "I wouldn't be happy even if you praised me for being attractive."

You only listen to the first half of a sentence when people talk, right? This tsundere kid is truly hopeless!

Yan Yu skipped the part that Lin Ning had forbidden him to read and continued reading. It was obvious that after learning the truth, Xiao Ning, a junior high school student, did not think it was her fault. Instead, she quickly found a logical chain to shirk responsibility:
Don’t study hard!
It’s because you didn’t study hard and were thinking about dating all day that our friendship has deteriorated!
With this belief in high school, whenever Ningning expressed interest in someone, she would give him a serious warning. Although Ningning promised to keep it a secret, she recorded everything in her diary. Yanyu counted and found that he had received 23 confessions during his first year of high school alone - a lot!
You deceived the hearts of twenty-three innocent boys in a row, and you still say you're not a beauty who brings disaster! According to records, in high school, Ning Ning didn't consider herself responsible at all, and even felt a bit annoyed and sad, writing something like, "Youth, it seems sweet as a song, but it's also bitter as a poem."

"Can you please have some self-awareness?" Yan Yu began to knock on Lin Ning's head like a wooden fish. "She likes you because you're pretty! High school students are all about looks. If you want to reject her, just reject her directly. Why are you turning the tables and blaming her for not focusing on her studies? What's the difference between you and directly trampling on her feelings?"

"I didn't know at the time!" Lin Ning shook her head desperately, dodging Yan Yu's hand. "Besides, isn't it normal for high school students to focus on their studies? What was wrong with what I said?"

"You can persuade anyone to study, but not the person who confessed to you." Yan Yu taught her seriously, "When faced with someone's confession, just give a reason that won't hurt them and refuse properly. Saying anything else is superfluous. Remember this!"

"I understand." Lin Ning thought to herself that the reason you rejected me wasn't that good, like "To be worthy of me, the strongest man in the world, you must be at least the second strongest woman in the world." You made me so sad at that time that I almost cried!
Of course, the tsundere sister couldn't say these words, so she just grabbed his hand like lightning and then shook it away to vent her anger.

Seeing that she listened attentively, Yan Yu continued to flip to the back of the page.

Then, a major event occurred in Lin Ning's life:
Received a strange acceptance letter.

Of course, the notice wasn't delivered by an owl, but by the school's instructor. Like countless young men and women yearning for supernatural powers, Ning Ning arrived at the Zhendong National Defense College filled with joy and anticipation, only to meet a man she both loved and hated...

"Alright!" Lin Ning suddenly snatched the diary and hugged it tightly in her arms, "It ends here."

"Is there still a third of it?" Yan Yu frowned and said, "If you want to watch it, let me finish it..."

"No, no, no, no!" Lin Ning shook her head like a rattle, "Captain, you can go now! Remember to keep it a secret!"

The last third of her diary was filled with complaints about Yan Yu, such as bullying, unreasonable, unkind, and inexplicable... But he was also very reliable, making her feel dependent, safe, and trustworthy, as if as long as she followed him, nothing in the world would become difficult.

How could she dare to let him know about such thoughts and feelings? How could she let him know? If Yan Yu saw even a single word, Lin Ning would immediately have the urge to kill him!

She dragged Yan Yu up from the ground and pushed him to drive him away. Suddenly, she heard Yan Yu laugh:
"I have an idea!"

"What's the idea?" Lin Ning, who was pushing him from behind, looked up in confusion.

"The most dangerous place is the safest place." Yan Yu gave her advice, "Go get a cover for a supplementary textbook, wrap your diary inside it, disguise it as a supplementary textbook, and put it in my cabinet. Chen Lingyun will definitely not find it!"

"Is this true?" Lin Ning immediately developed strong doubts.

"Of course it's true." Yan Yu was very confident. "First of all, teaching supplementary books are important to you. This makes sense, right?"

"Is there something wrong with your impression of me?" Lin Ning glanced at him with dissatisfaction.

"It doesn't matter whether there are any deviations!" Yan Yu waved his hand. "What's important is that Lingyun also thinks you are a test-taker and won't doubt you because of this!"

"Secondly, Lingyun isn't interested in supplementary textbooks! She taught herself all the high school courses in her freshman year, and started focusing on the Mathematical Olympiad in her sophomore and junior years. She wants to win an Olympiad and get into university, so she definitely wouldn't flip through a supplementary textbook for no reason!"

"That makes sense." Lin Ning asked herself if she had a high school textbook in front of her, she probably wouldn't bother to flip through it.

"The last and most crucial point," Yan Yu said, holding up his finger, "is that my locker is in my room, and it's locked. Ling Yun would never risk angering me by stealing from my locker."

"Hehe." Lin Ning was still a little worried, but she was also somewhat convinced by him.

The safest way, of course, was to hide it and never take it out, perhaps in the ancestral home in Qingyuan County. But Lin Ning was the type to take it out every once in a while for nostalgia, and every time she took it out, there was a chance someone would discover it, like this time the captain saw it.

So, the next best thing was to disguise the cover and put it where everyone could see it, making everyone think it was just an ordinary teaching supplement... It didn't sound like a problem at all. The only risk was that the captain would peek at the back...

"If I leave it with you, you must not peek at it!" Lin Ning warned seriously, "Copying or taking photos of it is absolutely not allowed! If you dare to betray my trust, I will kill you, I will..."

"Of course. Who do you think I am?" Yan Yu shot back contemptuously, "You want me to break my promise? You don't deserve it!"

Strangely enough, even though the words were so arrogant that they could constitute personal insult, Lin Ning felt strangely relieved and said stubbornly:
"You better be!"

She took out the book "Three Years and Five Years" from the bookshelf as a souvenir, carefully cut off the cover with a pair of craft scissors, took out some glue to unscrew the lid, and glued her diary to the cover of "Three Years and Five Years".

"I always feel like I've done something bad." Lin Ning muttered.

"This is a necessary confidentiality measure." Yan Yu took the disguised diary from her hand, took her back to his bedroom, and solemnly placed it in the collection cabinet. He smiled and said, "Congratulations, your important things have been placed in the safest place in the world."

"If it gets stolen one day, I'll definitely hold you accountable," Lin Ning said expressionlessly. "Then I'll... I'll cut off your penis! Don't laugh, I can definitely do it!"

"Quack! You can't do this!" Yan Yu screamed in cooperation.
