Chapter 142 Picking a Good Day, Night Raid on Villa No. 1
"Right, right, right! Lin Yue!"
The crew-cut boy slapped his thigh. "From now on, you're one of us!"
Just as he finished speaking, the expressions of the three girls sitting on the sofa changed slightly.
They all looked up at the newcomer in the corner.
Lin Yue sat there with her shoulders hunched, holding a paper cup with both hands, her face buried behind the rim.
The dim yellow light of the living room shone on her face.
That face was small and pale, with delicate features, long eyelashes, and big, round eyes with slightly drooping outer corners, giving off a timid and pitiful vibe whenever she looked at someone.
The three Polytechnic girls glanced at each other and whispered:
"She looks so 'tea-ish' at first glance."
"Yeah, sitting there, she's in a completely different art style than the three of us."
"Didn't you see those guys? Their eyes are about to fall out onto her."
As the car owner, the crew-cut guy didn't care about their opinions at all and was still excitedly making arrangements.
"Come on, Lin Yue, sit closer, don't keep shrinking in the corner! We're all on the same side!"
He patted the spot next to him.
Lin Yue shook her head, her voice even softer.
"I... I'm fine sitting here..."
The crew-cut guy wanted to say more, but a fat guy next to him tugged his sleeve and whispered, "The girl just joined the fleet and is still shy, don't scare her."
The crew-cut guy gave up and gave a couple of chuckles. "Fine, there's plenty of time ahead..."
He picked up the paper cup, took another gulp of alcohol, and suddenly remembered something.
"Hey, Lin Yue, let me ask you something?"
"Your fleet... how come you're the only one left?"
Lin Yue lowered her head, her voice very soft. "They made a mistake and were killed..."
Several people nearby were stunned for a moment.
"Made a mistake?"
"What do you mean?"
"You mean they were killed by monsters during a mission, right?"
The fat guy scratched his head. "Then why didn't you join the Film Academy's fleet? Aren't there many people from your school? You'd be more familiar with them."
Lin Yue pursed her lips and looked up. "The Film Academy is being targeted by everyone now, I didn't dare join..."
"Afraid of being implicated?"
Lin Yue nodded, her eyes a bit red. "I thought... following you guys... might be safer..."
The living room fell silent for a second.
The crew-cut guy and the fat guy looked at each other, then laughed at the same time.
"That's for sure! We Polytechnic people are men of our word!"
"Those trash from the Film Academy only know how to bully their own!"
After laughing enough, the crew-cut guy leaned back on the sofa and crossed his legs. "Don't worry, you're right to follow us. That scourge from your Film Academy won't be jumping around for much longer."
Lin Yue looked up at him.
"Scourge...?"
"That Chen Yu guy!"
"The murderer!"
"He's just relying on a golden body card to do whatever he wants. If we're talking about real strength, would we Polytechnic people be afraid of him?"
"Our boss went to the square today to call for manpower."
"We're just waiting to pick a good day for a night attack on Villa Number One! We'll show him!"
Lin Yue lowered her head, her voice light. "A night attack... is it..."
"Right!"
The crew-cut guy stood up and pumped his fist, his face glowing. "Once we deal with that kid, Villa Number One will be ours! You can move in then too!"
Lin Yue sat in the corner, head down.
"Oh, then you guys are so impressive~"
"Hahaha, Lin Yue, you'll see. Come, sit next to me this time."
Under everyone's gaze,
Lin Yue slowly stood up. "Actually, I have someone I like..."
"?"
The crew-cut guy frowned. "So what?"
Lin Yue said softly, "But he praised other girls in front of me."
The fat guy was also a bit confused. "Uh, Lin Yue, you're..."
Lin Yue looked at them.
In those big, round eyes, a hint of a smile gradually appeared.
"So."
"I want to tear off his limbs so that he can never leave me again."
...
...
"Chen Yu!"
Zhang Wanyue's voice came from the Villa.
"Let's eat! Xiao Qian's surgery is over for now!"
Chen Yu sat on the porch steps. Hearing the voice, he pushed the door and went in.
The dining room was already full.
Wang Mengmeng took her old spot, with Li Mengyao next to her.
Deng Yuxin and Yang Kexin were squeezed together, and Zuo Shi sat next to Qiao Xi, head down fiddling with chopsticks.
Lu Xiaoyu stood in the corner, not knowing where to sit.
Chen Yu walked in and glanced around.
"Everyone seated?"
Wang Mengmeng nodded vigorously. "Seated, seated! Just waiting for you!"
Chen Yu ignored her and beckoned to Lu Xiaoyu.
"Come here."
Lu Xiaoyu trotted over and stood beside him.
Chen Yu pulled out a chair.
"Sit here."
Lu Xiaoyu sat down obediently, hands on her knees, head down, not daring to breathe loudly.
Chen Yu sat next to her and scanned the people at the table.
"This is Lu Xiaoyu."
Wang Mengmeng was the first to react, her eyes lighting up. "The Rice Awakened one?!"
Chen Yu nodded.
"Wow!!!"
"We can have rice every day now?!"
Wang Mengmeng almost jumped up.
Deng Yuxin pulled her sleeve and whispered, "Keep it down... don't scare her..."
Li Mengyao shook her head helplessly beside them.
Qiao Xi smiled slightly. "Hello, I'm Qiao Xi, the team doctor."
Lu Xiaoyu whispered, "H-hello..."
Zuo Shi also looked up and smiled at her. "I'm Zuo Shi. I can check item information. If you need anything identified in the future, you can find me~"
Everyone introduced themselves.
Zhang Wanyue brought the last dish over, placed it on the table, and then sat on Chen Yu's other side.
"Alright, everyone's met. Let's eat."
Everyone picked up their chopsticks.
Wang Mengmeng nudged Li Mengyao with her elbow while picking up food.
"Mengyao, Mengyao."
"?"
"Another one came."
"So?"
"She looks quite cute, small and obedient, the type that looks easy to bully."
"She's a Rice Awakened! What are you..."
"Tsk, I'm a Massage Awakened, okay!"
"Is massage a rare ability? Who can't massage? None of you are as good as me, I can even simulate monster auras!"
"Even if you can simulate auras, you're still an idiot... hmm... no, I have to go get to know her."
The two whispered back and forth, but their voices were drowned out by the chatter at the table.
Wang Mengmeng went around the table to Lu Xiaoyu.
"Xiaoyu, right!"
Lu Xiaoyu was startled, looked up, and stared at her.
Wang Mengmeng smiled brightly.
"My name is Wang Mengmeng! We're sisters from now on! If anything happens, just find me!"
As she spoke, she reached out and grabbed Lu Xiaoyu's hand.
But Lu Xiaoyu's brow furrowed slightly, and she just gently pulled her hand back.
Wang Mengmeng was stunned. "Huh?"
Chen Yu explained calmly, "Her sixth sense is very accurate. She knows who is friendly to her and who has malicious intent."
Wang Mengmeng scratched her head. "Me? Malicious?"
"No, no, no..."
Lu Xiaoyu whispered, "It's... it's not malice, it's just feeling... a bit of a strong purpose..."
Zhang Wanyue burst out laughing, unable to hold it in.
Yang Kexin and Deng Yuxin also covered their mouths and laughed.
Wang Mengmeng wasn't embarrassed at all; instead, she grinned and put an arm around Lu Xiaoyu's shoulder. "Xiaoyu! You're really good at reading people!"
