You're only two years older than me, 'big brother' Lin Yu

For someone like this senior, a direct confrontation might be the most suitable approach.

Now Anna has brought her senior to the Commercial Street, and they chat and stroll around together, which has created a lively atmosphere.

Then Anna took her senior to the Swimsuit Shop... wow, amazing.

Why didn't I think of that?

But whatever, I've already done what I needed to do. If I interfere too much in other matters, it will only have the opposite effect.

We have to take a detour.

And coincidentally, Kiana and Bronya also went out today, right on the Commercial Street.

I need to find a way to get around them.

Anna, thank you.

Your actions have proven one thing to me—this offensive is effective.

Only after confirming that this offensive is effective...

—Only then can my subsequent plans proceed smoothly.

Meanwhile, Mei, who was being led down another path by Yuno, suddenly heard a voice from within her own heart.

Mei, something's wrong.

What's wrong now?

[The instant Poison Ivy stopped, I could feel her muscles tense and relax slightly through bio-currents.]

She may genuinely be trying to help you, but that doesn't mean she's been completely honest with you about her thoughts.

Something's definitely happening—she's definitely hiding something from you!

Okay, why are you so suspicious?

Moreover, bioelectric currents... isn't it normal for muscles to tense and relax a little?

I know you're thinking of me, but don't overthink it.

[You, you, you—I'm not going to care about you anymore!]

I've warned you, but you still won't listen—you'll regret it!

At the same time

Lin Yu, whose arm was linked with Anna's, felt the soft touch of the girl's body and had a feeling...

[There's nothing uncomfortable about it, it's super fun!]

Why are you silent, host?

I must say, you are absolutely right.

That was really awesome.

Wow, so frank today... Oh well, what a pity.

What a pity.

It's a pity the two traders were too cautious; otherwise, your frankness would have made you a perfect fit for a major drama.

What the hell is "trader"? Are you talking about Otto and Gray Serpent?

[... I'm speechless. How come you're still thinking about work when you're dragged out shopping by that big, soft girl?]

Didn't you suggest the trader?

If you're not talking about these two masterminds, then what are you talking about?

Riddlers are not welcome.

[This system isn't a person, and—you're not the first person to complain about how much nonsense this system spouts; this system has been unpopular for a long time, hasn't it?]

Not really. If you talked less nonsense, I would definitely respect you more.

But whenever I wanted to show you more respect, you spoke up.

[Please be understanding. Just like you're afraid of dying, having fun is the driving force behind this system.]

[If this system were to act against its own will... ah, perhaps I can say less today.]

Don't do this.

Your sudden return to normal scares me even more.

Don't be afraid, this is actually a good thing.

This system is for entertainment, not for chaos or evil. Having fun doesn't mean you'll actually get into trouble.

That's what it means...

[Besides, this system has seen its fair share of amusement these past two months. See, have you gotten into any trouble?]

No, I don't think so.

That seems to make sense.

However, although it's really enjoyable right now, I can also feel that Anna's body is very tense.

The person she is... In the original novel, she would blush even if Chen Tianwu made a few jokes. Now that she has handed me over voluntarily and is being so intimate with me, theoretically she should be even more nervous.

"Lin Yu."

Anna, who had just arrived at a shop, suddenly looked up at Lin Yu's expressionless face.

How's this restaurant?

"Oh, this is the shop."

After glancing at the shop's name, Lin Yu felt there was something subtly familiar about it...

The name "Birth Cafe" is quite peculiar...

Oh, are you thinking about your Poison Ivy? Bat~

Oh, thanks for reminding me, I remember now.

This is the cafe where I brought Yuno a heart-to-heart talk.

"It's not bad, I suppose."

"Then this way."

At this moment, Anna seemed very proactive, but in reality...

Right now, she was extremely panicked.

Anna is naturally shy, and although she doesn't regret or feel scared now that Anna acted impulsively today, she still feels that she was too nervous.

If she hadn't forcibly suppressed her nervousness, she felt that just holding Lin Yu's hand would have made her body tremble uncontrollably with nervousness and shyness.

After the two entered the shop, the coffee shop staff glanced at them but did not show any particular expression.

But now, recalling the last time Lin Yu brought another girl into the store, the shop assistant couldn't help but sigh—being handsome really does have its advantages.

After the two of them casually found a table and sat down, Lin Yu looked at Anna in front of him and suddenly sighed.

"Anna, you don't need to be so nervous."

"We're friends, it's normal for us to go out together."

Anna's face turned bright red instantly after hearing Lin Yu's speech.

Anna then put down the menu and asked Lin Yu in a low voice.

"You... you knew everything?"

"With the muscles in your arms so taut, it's easy to guess what you're thinking."

I was the one who wanted to help Lin Yu relax a little, but after I got nervous myself, Lin Yu ended up comforting me instead.

Oh no, we're doomed.

Although I don't know exactly what went wrong, right now...

—I can't take it anymore, I feel so ashamed.

.

Chapter 201. You're only two years older than me, Lin Yu, my 'brother'.

Lin Yu's intention in saying these words was to hope that Anna would relax a little.

However, judging from the shyness that Anna can no longer hide on her face, she has probably become even more shy and nervous after Lin Yu pointed out her inner thoughts.

Sigh, sending someone with this kind of personality out here is just ridiculous. Does the Sania clan have no one else they can send?

With her personality...

With her personality, you could easily sleep with her dozens of times.

I think so too.

But you also know very well that, given her personality, once you've tricked her and... hehehe, you definitely won't abandon her.

Once you've developed a deep enough bond with her, the old geezers who sent her out will have achieved their goal.

Even if you don't care about the monks' feelings, you'll still be emotionally biased towards the Sania clan if you sleep with their family. Even if they don't mention any marriage alliances, you'll still be inclined to side with them emotionally.

... yes.

Your analysis is quite accurate.

Damn it, I didn't even see these old bastards, and they almost ate me alive without me even meeting them.

If I didn't know the plot and dare not provoke the people around me...

So you actually took the bait that was offered to you, huh?

You're being ridiculous. Such a beautiful girl is practically offering herself up. If there's no danger, why wouldn't you sleep with her?

This system isn't a person; it doesn't have this need.

[But this thought of yours, it seems, has awakened to its instincts.]

Perhaps it was because I was so afraid of dying, and I had some premonitions, that my survival instinct stimulated other desires.

But I need to rein it in, otherwise Anna will start imagining things again.

"You..."

At this moment, Anna gazed at the boy before her, whom she felt an overwhelming attraction to, and truly felt...

—No, I'm so embarrassed, I really feel like I can't face anyone.

He had been so aggressive before, trying to make Lin Yu relax a little, but now...

I'm such an idiot.

Even if Lin Yu was nervous, as a special agent, he was much more mature than me.

Lin Yu, who is much more mature than me, definitely knows better than me how to adjust his own mood—what was I worrying about before!

At this moment, Anna, in a state of mixed emotions, suddenly apologized for some unknown reason.

"Yes, I'm sorry."

"... You don't need to apologize."

Looking at Anna, who suddenly lowered her head and dared not look up, Lin Yu chuckled.

"It's just going out for a stroll, not fighting Honkai Beast, why are you being so serious—you said that yourself, have you forgotten?"

"Relax, relax. There are no enemies here, and none of your family's annoying old Dengs."

But... you're here.

I was the one who wanted to help Lin Yu relax, so I dragged him out shopping.
