Lin Yu knew that if he secretly slipped out in the middle of the night and operated under the identity of "Yayu," Good Night would be easy enough to fool.
But...

Although Li Hua's trust in him was already quite high, Lin Yu knew very well that a "trusting relationship" in real life was not like intimacy in a game. Once raised, it would not simply remain there without falling.
