87: Chapter 87 Why are you so good to me?

After arriving home, Lin Yi was about to help Chen Yao to the guest room.

Ye Shuangshuang beat him to it, slinging Chen Yao's arm over her own shoulder.

"Men and women shouldn't be so touchy-feely!"

"I'll help her!"

Lin Yi gave a sheepish smile and stepped aside to call Chen Fei, briefly explaining the situation.

A short while later, the cute and adorable young girl Chen Fei appeared at the entrance of Lin Yi's villa, wearing a set of cartoon pajamas.

"Brother Lin Yi, how is my sister?"

The thin, smooth pajamas perfectly outlined Chen Fei's curves.

Seeing the newcomer's voluptuous figure, Ye Shuangshuang subconsciously looked down at herself.

"How can someone grow so big..."

"Why can't I..."

To the side, Lin Yi gestured toward the upstairs with his chin.

"Shuangshuang just helped your sister change into clean clothes."

"She's already asleep now."

"She drank quite a lot tonight."

"She probably won't wake up before tomorrow morning."

Chen Fei bowed slightly to Ye Shuangshuang politely.

"Thank you, Sister Shuangshuang. Sorry for the trouble!"

"I'll go upstairs now to check on my sister."

Chen Fei had originally finished washing up and was lying in bed playing with her phone.

After receiving Lin Yi's call, she had rushed out and run over.

It was only a ten-minute walk from their luxury flat to Lin Yi's villa.

Chen Fei had been in such a hurry when she left that she forgot to put on a bra.

When she bowed just now, the deep and delicate cleavage visible beneath the buttons of her cartoon pajamas made Lin Yi's breath catch.

"It's... no trouble."

"Feifei, since I have plenty of guest rooms anyway, why don't you stay here tonight too?"

Realizing that Ye Shuangshuang had noticed his reaction, Lin Yi hurriedly changed the subject.

Chen Fei gave a sweet smile.

"Okay, thank you, Brother Lin Yi!"

After saying that, she ran upstairs to see Chen Yao.

Soon after, the sound of a door closing came from upstairs.

"Shuangshuang, it's late. Let's go to bed too."

Lin Yi said tentatively, reaching out to take Ye Shuangshuang's hand.

Ye Shuangshuang gave a huff of annoyance and dodged to the side.

"I'm sleeping in a guest room tonight too."

"Since you have so many guest rooms anyway!"

Hearing this...

Lin Yi thought to himself that this was bad.

It seemed like she was jealous.

Just as he was about to say something to defend himself...

Ye Shuangshuang gave Lin Yi a coquettish glare and also hurried upstairs.

Watching Ye Shuangshuang's retreating figure and thinking about the skimpy lingerie she had picked out this afternoon, Lin Yi felt as if a cat's claws were scratching at his heart.

"Sigh, forget it, forget it."

"I'll just take a shower and go to bed..."

Through the system, he could see that Ye Shuangshuang's favorability was still at 100.

That meant her feelings for him hadn't changed.

Since that was the case, it didn't matter if it was a day earlier or later.

She was already his, anyway.

...

...

In the middle of the night, Lin Yi heard the sound of vomiting coming from downstairs.

The villa's soundproofing was excellent.

Both Chen Fei and Ye Shuangshuang were fast asleep; this slight noise wasn't enough to wake them.

However, because Lin Yi had enhanced his physical fitness level, his hearing was much sharper than usual.

Lin Yi hurriedly got out of bed and went downstairs.

When someone is drunk, if vomit accidentally blocks their airway, they could suffocate.

Since Chen Yao was sleeping in his home, he had to be responsible for her safety.

Lin Yi walked to Chen Yao's door and gently pushed it open.

Chen Yao wasn't in bed; she was leaning weakly against the toilet in the bathroom.

While vomiting, what remained of Chen Yao's consciousness made her afraid of getting her clothes dirty.

She remembered that a pretty girl had helped her change into these clothes.

It would be incredibly rude if she dirtied the clothes someone else had helped her put on.

So, Chen Yao had specifically taken them off.

Lin Yi entered the room, closed the door, and made his way to the bedside in the dark, only to find that Chen Yao wasn't there.

Hearing movement in the bathroom, Lin Yi hurriedly stepped inside and turned on the light.

Chen Yao's fair and tender body appeared before his eyes.

Her long, wavy hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall.

She looked just like a mermaid from the fairy tales he'd read as a child.

"Lin Yi..."

Seeing the light turn on, Chen Yao subconsciously looked up.

Lin Yi hurriedly turned the light back off as fast as he could.

"Um... I didn't see anything!"

"I heard you vomiting and was worried, so I came to check..."

Chen Yao was a bit more sober now.

"Is this... your house?"

Lin Yi nodded.

"You were too drunk, so I brought you back."

"Don't worry, I've already told Feifei. She's here too, sleeping in the room next door."

Chen Yao pulled out some tissue to wipe the vomit from the corner of her mouth and forced herself to stand up by leaning against the wall.

She wanted to grab the pajamas left by the door.

But she was suddenly hit by a wave of dizziness.

She fell straight toward the floor.

Sensing the movement, Lin Yi rushed forward to catch her.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yao fell right into Lin Yi's arms.

Feeling the body heat and soft touch against his palms, Lin Yi instantly realized something.

He hurriedly let go in a panic.

But Chen Yao was so dizzy she couldn't stand steadily at all.

As soon as Lin Yi let go, Chen Yao tilted to the side again.

Lin Yi had no choice but to hold Chen Yao's shoulders once more.

"I'm sorry..."

"I'm sorry..."

Both of them apologized at the same time.

Then, there was a moment of silent awkwardness.

Feeling Lin Yi's solid chest, Chen Yao felt a strange sense of peace.

It felt as if as long as Lin Yi was there, none of her problems would be problems anymore.

Since her mother fell ill, Chen Yao had carried the burden of the family on her own.

As the older sister, she was supposed to take care of her younger sister and their mother.

But in the end, she was just a young girl in her early twenties.

Having just entered society, she was alone with no resources or background.

The immense pressure meant she didn't dare to relax for even a moment.

But then she met Lin Yi.

Her heart, which had always been on edge, felt a glimmer of warmth.

With Lin Yi, she experienced an unprecedented sense of security.

He paid for her mother's surgery.

He rescued her when she was kidnapped by Li Zhuoran's men.

The house she and her sister were living in was bought by him.

Today, when she was drunk and almost taken advantage of, it was Lin Yi who brought her back.

Leaning in Lin Yi's arms at this moment, Chen Yao felt exceptionally grounded.

Chen Yao: Favorability +10 Points.

Chen Yao: Favorability +10 Points.

Chen Yao: Favorability +10 Points.

Current favorability: 80 Points.

"Ding! Detected an increase in Chen Yao's favorability. Congratulations, Host, on receiving a 30-point reward."

Hearing the system notification, Lin Yi breathed a small sigh of relief.

He had originally thought Chen Yao would be unhappy because he had just taken advantage of her.

Now it seemed to be quite the opposite.

It looked like his "hero saving the beauty" act today was effective after all.

"Lin Yi, can I ask you a question?"

Chen Yao leaned against Lin Yi's chest and parted her red lips slightly.

Lin Yi nodded.

Chen Yao pursed her lips in thought and asked softly.

"Why... why are you so good to me?"
