Chapter 228 I will make you the person I want.

[Lin Yue: Chen Yu?]

[Lin Yue: You messaged me?]

[Lin Yue: Am I seeing this right?]

Three messages popped up almost simultaneously.

Chen Yu pondered for a moment before sending: Yeah, it's me.

[Lin Yue: I thought you'd never talk to me again.]

[Chen Yu: It's not that serious. Our relationship isn't a life-or-death one; we're classmates!]

[Lin Yue: Not life-or-death? Then why did you chase me so far back then? I was so scared ///]

[Chen Yu: Sigh, that was all a misunderstanding. This is what happened.]

After sending the message, Chen Yu's finger hovered in front of the screen, his mind racing.

He had chased Lin Yue for five or six whole streets, from B District to Road No. 3.

Thinking back now, that "misunderstanding" seemed a bit too large...

Trying to smooth it over wouldn't be easy.

[Chen Yu: Actually, I wasn't chasing you to catch you.]

[Lin Yue: ?]

[Lin Yue: Then what was it for?]

[Chen Yu: Do you remember what you threw away while you were running?]

The chat box went quiet for a few seconds.

[Lin Yue: The phantom card?]

[Chen Yu: I just wanted to ask where you got that card from.]

[Lin Yue: You're lying to me ㅍ_ㅍ]

[Chen Yu: ...]

[Lin Yue: You chased me first, and then I was forced to use the phantom card! You didn't get your timeline straight while making up your story. It seems you still don't value me...]

[Chen Yu: OK, OK. In that case, I'll lay my cards on the table. I chased you because I wanted you to stop! I didn't want you to kill anyone else...]

[Lin Yue: Really?]

[Chen Yu: Really.]

[Lin Yue: You're not still lying to me, are you?]

[Chen Yu: Why would you think I'm lying?]

[Lin Yue: I don't know.]

[Lin Yue: But.]

[Lin Yue: I'm willing to believe you.]

Chen Yu leaned back in his seat, his fingers tapping lightly on his knee.

After much hesitation, he decided to lie and quickly sent a message.

[Chen Yu: Lin Yue, I suddenly regret some of the things I did to you before.]

[Lin Yue: Regret what?]

[Chen Yu: I regret making you think I'm a bad person, and making you think I wanted to kill you. But how could that be? To this day, I still think about how nice it would be if you were still on the bus. Unfortunately, there are no "what-ifs"...]

After the message was sent, the chat box was quiet for a few seconds, and then a picture popped up.

Chen Yu clicked on it.

It was a pair of legs.

Obviously, it was a selfie from Lin Yue.

Lin Yue must have been curled up in her seat when she took it. Her knees were slightly bent, and her thighs extended from under her dark skirt, appearing pale in the dim yellow light.

Chen Yu's mouth twitched. He hadn't even said anything like "let me see your legs."

Just then, he noticed a faint old scar on the side of Lin Yue's calf in a corner of the picture.

[Lin Yue: Look.]

[Lin Yue: Every time I miss you, it hurts.]

[Lin Yue: But just now, when you said you regretted it, it suddenly stopped hurting.]

[Chen Yu: It's my fault. I shouldn't have treated you like that. If only there was a chance to make it up to you.]

[Chen Yu: Oh? Are you in a car by yourself right now?]

[Lin Yue: Mmhmm...]

Although things were moving fast, Chen Yu didn't find it abrupt. Instead, he felt the time was ripe.

He sent a trade request directly.

Inside the request was, naturally, the invitation card he had been holding onto for a long time.

[Lin Yue: An invitation card?]

[Lin Yue: You... you're inviting me onto your bus?]

[Chen Yu: Yeah.]

[Lin Yue: Chen Yu!!!]

[Lin Yue: I'm so happy!!!]

[Lin Yue: I'm so happy I don't know how to tell you...]

[Lin Yue: I'm going to put it under my pillow and look at it every night before I sleep!!!]

[Chen Yu: Of course. Come over quickly, I'm waiting for you!]

Right after sending the message, Chen Yu immediately closed the chat box and stood up from his seat.

In the carriage, the gazes of several girls were drawn to him at the same time.

They saw Chen Yu spread his fingers toward the empty seat beside him—the one that originally belonged to Sun Zhiyuan!

The demon-slaying gloves fit tightly against his skin!

The moment Lin Yue appeared, Chen Yu would restrain her immediately!

Without her crystal, Lin Yue was just a cat with its teeth and claws pulled out!

Chen Yu was confident that he could use force to slap the Wangchuan Talisman on her!

The atmosphere in the carriage suddenly tensed up!

Although the girls didn't know what Chen Yu was doing, they all had nervous expressions!

"Brother Yu, what are you doing?"

"Why are you so tense facing an empty seat?"

"Could a person suddenly appear out of thin air on that seat?"

Hearing the girls' questions, Chen Yu simply said calmly, "Lin Yue..."

"Lin Yue?!!!"

"Lin Yue!!!!"

"Wait, wait, wait, is she coming on the bus?! Chen Yu!"

There was a scramble in the carriage as the girls quickly retreated to the front and back of the bus, chattering in a mess!

"Gulu?"

Even Water Bubble was startled and huddled together with the girls!

Everyone had witnessed Liu Xiaoqian's miserable state with their own eyes, and they were quite reactive to the name "Lin Yue" right now!

Li Mengyao, however, had an even more intense reaction; her body began to tremble!

Liu Manqing was startled by her reaction and reached out to pull her. "What's wrong, Mengyao? Who is Lin Yue?"

"Auntie... stay back... stay away from that seat..."

Li Mengyao swallowed hard, her voice shaking uncontrollably.

"What exactly is going on?"

Liu Manqing lowered her voice. This was the first time she had seen Mengyao like this.

Qiao Xi walked over from the side. "Lin Yue was a girl in the fleet before. She has an SSS-rank Crystal Talent and is extremely fierce in combat. During a previous mission, she almost killed Mengyao..."

Liu Manqing's pupils contracted slightly.

Qiao Xi continued to explain, "Since then, Mengyao has suffered from... moderate post-traumatic stress disorder."

Liu Manqing nodded and looked back. "Mengyao, don't be afraid. Chen Yu is here too."

Li Mengyao didn't speak, she just gripped her hand tightly.

As the minutes and seconds ticked by, Chen Yu withdrew his right hand and opened the chat box.

[Lin Yue: You said a lot of things today that you never said before.]

[Lin Yue: I'm so happy.]

[Lin Yue: So happy that I almost believed you.]

[Lin Yue: But it's okay. Wait for me a little longer. I will turn you into the person I want.]

Chen Yu fell silent and closed the chat box.

Fortunately... the team invitation card has a 24-hour time limit. Once the time limit expires, it can be added to a team again.

"Sigh."

Chen Yu shook his head. Could he not even use his Wangchuan Talisman?

Was that Taoist's word even reliable?

"Why hasn't she come yet?"

"Is she coming or not?"

"Brother Yu?"

The girls on the bus looked over curiously and asked eagerly.
