121: Chapter 121 The Loli is Furious and Wants to Respond

Just then, Lin Yun lowered his head slightly, his thin lips brushing against her already crimson earlobe.

In a breathy whisper audible only to the two of them, laced with a hint of playful amusement, he said softly:

"Tonight's... you can't try to fool me like you did yesterday."

His breath brushed against her sensitive earlobe, sending a jolt of tingling sensation through her.

The meaning behind his words made her heart skip a beat!

He knew!

He had really seen through that those conservative photos from yesterday were just a deliberate attempt to fool him!

Bai Lulu's mind went "boom," completely overtaken by embarrassment.

The boldness and allure she had deliberately cultivated just moments ago vanished into thin air like a popped balloon.

Like a startled rabbit, she sprang away from Lin Yun's arms, stumbling back two steps before finding her footing.

She kept her head down, daring not to meet Lin Yun's eyes, nor to look at Qiao Shiyu, who was practically breathing fire nearby.

She only managed a flustered, nasal "Mm" in a voice so quiet it was barely audible.

That voice was impossibly soft and impossibly shy, a stark contrast to the "bewitching" persona she had just projected.

Just then, the prompt ended, the equipment in the Analysis Room slowly ceased operation, and the glow of the energy sensing platform faded.

"Bai! Lulu!"

Qiao Shiyu's roar erupted like a long-suppressed volcano!

Like an enraged little lion, she lunged forward, blocking the space between Bai Lulu and Lin Yun. Trembling with rage, she pointed at Bai Lulu's nose:

"You... do you have no shame! In broad daylight... you... you actually...!"

She was so angry she couldn't even finish her sentence, her small chest heaving violently, her eyes rimmed with red.

Jolted by Qiao Shiyu's shout, Bai Lulu regained a bit of her composure from the extreme embarrassment she had just felt.

She took a deep breath, forcing down the heat on her face. As she looked up, she resumed her usual lazy and provocative demeanor, though her eyes still flickered slightly. She smoothed out her slightly disheveled long hair.

"Little Bean, why are you shouting?"

"I accidentally tripped, and Brother Lin Yun kindly caught me, so what? Does that bother you?"

"Accidentally? I think you did it on purpose! You just want to... want to..."

Qiao Shiyu struggled with the word "want" for a long time, unable to bring herself to say it, her face turning even redder from holding it in.

"What do I want? Go ahead, say it?"

Bai Lulu crossed her arms and sneered.

"It's you who's overreacting. Is Brother Lin Yun yours alone?"

"He's taught you so many times, and I've only had him once. What, you can't even grant me that much fairness?"

"Or are you afraid that I'll learn faster than you and steal your 'exclusive instruction'?"

"Who's afraid of you! Fairness? Fine! From now on, however many times Brother Lin Yun teaches you, that's all you get! Not one time more!"

Qiao Shiyu immediately got distracted by the point.

"Fine! Who's afraid of whom! But today doesn't count; I still have questions I haven't figured out, so we'll continue tomorrow!"

Bai Lulu immediately retorted.

"Tomorrow? In your dreams! I booked it first!"

"So what if you booked it first? I got here first!"

The two began arguing again.

They bickered from "fair instruction" to "who was first," then to "whose Combat Technique is stronger," and finally circled back to "who is more shameless..."

Su Yingxue and the others watched in amazement.

The stamina and topic-jumping ability of their arguing were truly unparalleled.

When the two finally caught their breath, Bai Lulu seemed to remember something and stopped paying attention to the fuming Qiao Shiyu.

She turned around to look at Lin Yun, who had been standing to the side, watching them argue with leisure.

Her face was once again plastered with that feigned allure, which looked exceptionally charming due to the residual blush.

She stepped forward, tiptoed slightly, leaned in close to Lin Yun, and said in a soft, coquettish tone:

"Brother Lin Yun~ then... it's a deal~"

"Tonight..."

She paused, her eyes darting, and deliberately drew out her tone: "Make sure to wait for my message~"

After saying this, as if she had completed some important "task," she didn't dare linger for another second. Without even bothering to provoke Qiao Shiyu again, she turned and walked quickly out of the Analysis Room.

Her retreating figure looked every bit like someone fleeing in a panic.

But that final "wait for my message" and that deliberately coquettish tone were like a thorn, piercing straight into Qiao Shiyu's heart.

Watching Bai Lulu's figure disappear at the doorway, she felt a surge of frustration mixed with overwhelming grievance and anxiety colliding within her chest!

A message? What message?

Last night... swimsuit photos... could it be...?!

She snapped her head toward Lin Yun, her small face filled with tension and interrogation: "Brother Lin Yun! What is this about Bai Lulu saying 'tonight' and a 'message'?!"

Her voice rose involuntarily, laced with a hint of panic she didn't even realize was there.

Lin Yun found her frantic, hopping-mad appearance amusing, but remained calm on the surface, as if discussing something completely ordinary:

"Oh, that."

He shook his Communicator.

"She said the photos she sent yesterday... were the wrong ones, and she wasn't satisfied."

"She's going back to reorganize them today and will send the 'right' ones to me tonight."

His tone was nonchalant, as if he were saying, "Remember to pick up the package tonight."

Qiao Shiyu was stunned.

Sent the wrong ones? Sending them again?

What did that mean?

The ones from yesterday... didn't she send them voluntarily?

How could she send the wrong ones?

Her little brain couldn't quite wrap itself around it.

Just then, Qiao Feifei, who had been watching from the sidelines, finally found an opportunity to chime in!

She quickly leaned over to Qiao Shiyu, grabbed her arm, lowered her voice, and spilled the "secret" she had heard from Su Yingxue with extreme speed:

"Auntie, Auntie! I know!"

"The photos Bai Lulu sent yesterday were super conservative! They were completely different from how she usually acts!"

"Sister Yingxue and the others all say she's just a 'big talker.' She talks a big game, but she's actually a total coward!"

"She must have been shy yesterday and didn't dare send the real ones, so she just grabbed a few to fool him!"

"Now that Brother Lin Yun has definitely seen through it, that's why she said she sent the wrong ones and wants to send them again!"

Qiao Feifei finished in one breath, her little face filled with the excitement of "I finally figured it out," as well as a hint of worry for her aunt who was "about to step into a fiery pit."

After hearing this, Qiao Shiyu suddenly realized!

So that was it!

Dead Meatball!

She really was a paper tiger!

Yesterday she was putting on such an act, but it turned out she didn't dare to do it for real at all!

A strange sense of superiority and the thought "I'm better than her" instantly diluted some of the anger and anxiety she had felt just moments ago.

But immediately after, another thought popped up—if she said she was going to send them again tonight...

Was she actually going to send the "real" ones?

Thinking of Bai Lulu's hot figure, if she really took those kinds of... photos and sent them to Brother Lin Yun to see...

Qiao Shiyu's heart jumped back into her throat.

No!

Absolutely not!
