Lin Yu's Collapse, Ye Mengyao's Coming-of-Age Ceremony!

Lin Yu was utterly bewildered.

Standing on the stage, he didn't know what to do for a moment.

The sound from the loudspeaker continued to blare.

"I'm a dog! I'm a dog! Woof woof woof~"

"When I was little, I even peeked at Widow Wang from the neighboring village bathing..."

He couldn't take it anymore!

Thousands of students in the audience couldn't maintain their composure.

"What the hell is going on? Isn't this a self-criticism meeting? Why is he barking like a dog?"

"Peeking at Widow Wang bathing? I salute this brother."

"Grab the popcorn!"

"This guy... he's clearly been set up. I wonder who he offended."

"Do you even need to guess? It must be Young Master Jiang! I heard that Lin Yu offended Jiang Che right after transferring schools, and with Young Master Jiang's personality... he'd surely screw him over completely, wouldn't he?"

"Lin Yu's probably going to suffer social death. If I were him... I'd be so mortified I'd spontaneously combust."

Lin Yu, standing on the stage, was indeed incredibly embarrassed, with thousands of eyes looking at him mockingly.

He was so embarrassed he wanted to burrow into the ground.

He was a proud man, and encountering such a situation... was simply intolerable.

At this moment, the school leaders also belatedly reacted. A man in a suit walked onto the podium.

He snatched the microphone from Lin Yu's hand.

"Lin Yu, what nonsense are you spouting? This is your self-criticism meeting! It's not for you to act like a lunatic."

The sudden criticism left Lin Yu stunned.

"Can't you see? Someone is trying to frame me! Someone clearly framed me beforehand!"

Lin Yu desperately tried to explain.

But the school leader's gaze at him was filled with indifference.

He knew very well that Lin Yu had been pranked, but given the current situation... Lin Yu had to take the blame.

Because he was already in the wrong!

"Are you talking back? Go back and write a 10,000-word self-criticism!"

Lin Yu completely lost it. His nature was rebellious, and he had already been humiliated enough. If he endured any longer... he'd become a Ninja Turtle.

"You—"

Lin Yu was about to erupt, but a single sentence from the school leader made him hold back.

"Do you not want to attend school anymore?"

Lin Yu trembled with anger. He was powerless and without influence now, with immense strength that he had no outlet for!

It was suffocating!

Creak creak~ Lin Yu's tightly clenched fists made creaking sounds.

He had been set up!

How could Lin Yu not understand now that the Cave Abode he went to was completely fake!

He should have known... how could his master possibly have an electronic door? And inside was a copy of Five Years of Exam Prep, Three Years of Mock Tests.

And such a bizarre password question?

Someone definitely set him up.

The treasures inside the Cave Abode must have also fallen into someone else's hands.

"Damn it! Who is trying to set me up?"

Suddenly, Jiang Che's figure appeared in his mind.

"Could it be that guy? But that's impossible... How would he know I was going to the Cave Abode Secret Realm? It shouldn't be him!"

"But it's definitely someone in the school!"

Lin Yu racked his brain, but still couldn't figure out who else he had offended!

But there was only Jiang Che.

"Heh... Jiang Che, you've sealed your own fate!"

Regardless of whether it was Jiang Che who set him up, he would make Jiang Che pay!

Throughout the morning, Ye Mengyao was doing mental preparation.

Ultimately, she mustered her courage.

She walked up to Jiang Che and placed an invitation card from her hand onto his table.

"Jiang… Jiang Che! I'm holding a birthday party at the end of the month. This is your invitation. I went to your birthday last year… you wouldn't not come, would you?"

Ye Mengyao's words practically blocked all of Jiang Che's escape routes.

"Birthday party?"

Jiang Che looked at the invitation card Ye Mengyao handed him, a slight smile on his face.

There was indeed such a plotline in the novel: Ye Mengyao's birthday party.

This was also a minor plot point where Ye Mengyao and Lin Yu first grew closer in the story.

During the party, a young lady from another second-rate family, out of jealousy towards the overly perfect Ye Mengyao, put an aphrodisiac in Ye Mengyao's drink, intending to make her embarrass herself in public.

After taking the drug, Ye Mengyao felt completely out of sorts.

Lin Yu appeared at this moment, acting all righteous and heroic, using his god-tier medical skills… and with just a few acupuncture needles, he cured Ye Mengyao.

After that, the young lady's attitude towards Lin Yu, her personal bodyguard, improved significantly.

But in Jiang Che's opinion… wasn't this just idiotic?

Not eating the meat delivered right to his mouth? Just the naked look in Lin Yu's eyes the first time he saw Ye Mengyao…

We're all men, how could I not know what you're thinking?

"Jiang Che?"

Ye Mengyao called softly, afraid that Jiang Che would refuse her again… leaving her in an awkward situation.

On the other side, seeing this scene, Lin Yu was completely unnerved.

The skin on his face was trembling.

Ye Mengyao's birthday party?

As Ye Mengyao's bodyguard, why hadn't Ye Changkong sent him an invitation?

Oh~ his identity should be kept secret for now.

He would definitely be secretly arranged to enter the venue later. Thinking of this possibility… Lin Yu regained his confidence.

Moreover, at a birthday party like this… with all sorts of people present, there was a high probability of accidents and dangers.

He would then descend like a god, shocking everyone…

As he thought, Lin Yu's lips gradually curled into a smirk.

"Mhm."

Facing Ye Mengyao's invitation, Jiang Che merely nodded, giving an ambiguous answer.

Of course he would go to Ye Mengyao's birthday party!

Jiang Che's thoughts gradually turned twisted as his eyes scrutinized Ye Mengyao.

Huh?

How did this girl's figure get so much better?

Uh… padded~

Jiang Che was speechless. Ye Mengyao really did have the temper of a young lady.

And she was quite competitive.

Ye Mengyao was indeed very beautiful, exuding a youthful aura, and she had a faint body fragrance, a scent entirely different from Yu Wan'er's.

If he had to rate her, Ye Mengyao's beauty would start at least at 95 points.

To describe her using a popular online phrase: I can't even imagine how fragrant she must be.

Though his thoughts were extremely twisted, his expression remained calm.

He was playing the part of a cool, aloof person who was outwardly cold but inwardly warm.

"You can go. I'll be there then."

His voice was as indifferent as water, giving off a feeling of keeping people at a thousand miles' distance. Ye Mengyao wanted to say something more… but she couldn't.

Her almond-shaped eyes stared at Jiang Che. Jiang Che had already agreed to come… so why did she still feel a little sad?
