Chapter 1: Pretending to Fall for the Trap! The Childhood Friend Reveals Her True Colors!

"Stinky Lin Che! Look over here!"

The boy called Lin Che turned his head, looking at Gu Yilan on the bed with a helpless expression.

The pure and beautiful girl was lying on the bed in a lazy posture. The collar of her loose loungewear hung down naturally due to gravity; from Lin Che's perspective, the scenery was wonderful, full of the elasticity of youth.

Her two fair, tender lotus-like feet swayed back and forth, soles facing the sky, the centers slightly flushed.

Gu Yilan was the girl who lived across from Lin Che's house.

She was also his childhood friend, a few months younger than him.

When they were little, Gu Yilan would follow behind Lin Che, calling him "Brother" at every turn, a clingy little thing who would cry if she didn't have her brother around.

But ever since hitting puberty, that little girl had suddenly grown into a stunning beauty with off-the-charts looks, becoming the School Belle who drew everyone's attention at school.

Her address for Lin Che had suddenly changed from "Brother" to "Stinky Lin Che."

Whenever she saw Lin Che, she would also show an expression of utter disdain.

However... when it was time for dinner, Gu Yilan would still refresh herself at Lin Che's house right on schedule.

It was now the time before dinner, and Gu Yilan had barged into Lin Che's room without ceremony, directly occupying his small bed.

Lin Che was focused on studying "Five Years of Gaokao, Three Years of Simulation," not wanting to pay any attention to this little devil at all.

But Gu Yilan deliberately made noise, refusing to let Lin Che study in peace.

"What is it!? If it's not an emergency, I'm going to hit you!"

Lin Che put down the book in his hand, annoyed, and looked toward Gu Yilan.

"Pervert Lin Che, you really do have ulterior motives toward me!" Gu Yilan covered her pert backside, pretending to be scared.

But her face wore a mocking expression: "Though that's normal, after all, with such a cute girl in your room, a loser like Lin Che must have plenty of evil thoughts, right~"

"&...%@"

Lin Che was truly angry.

But he really had no way to deal with Gu Yilan.

Yet this girl was practically a demon; although she was arrogant and annoying in front of him, she was a goody-two-shoes in front of their parents.

At the very least...

Lin Che's parents loved Gu Yilan to death.

If Gu Yilan went to complain, he figured his mom and dad would unconditionally believe this two-faced woman.

"Anyway, look at this, stinky Lin Che."

Gu Yilan climbed up from the bed and displayed her phone screen to Lin Che.

On the phone screen was a black and white rotating spiral pattern.

"What is this?"

Lin Che was baffled, just about to ask what kind of madness Gu Yilan was up to again.

Just then, Gu Yilan began to mutter something under her breath.

"Focus your attention on the pattern in front of you..."

"You feel yourself wandering in a vast ocean, the feeling of being surrounded by seawater is very comfortable... You are gradually sinking to the bottom of the sea, and your consciousness is sinking along with it..."

"Now you have entered a trance state... no matter what you hear, you, you will subconsciously obey..."

Gu Yilan was acting exactly like a hypnotist!

Hearing Gu Yilan's words, Lin Che was stunned for a moment.

This girl had clearly downloaded an image from the internet and temporarily learned a few lines of hypnotist jargon; she was just putting on a fake show of being a hypnotist with nothing but that.

With this kind of amateur skill, it was obviously impossible to hypnotize anyone.

Lin Che originally intended to ruthlessly mock Gu Yilan.

But he suddenly thought.

If he tried pretending to be hypnotized, what would happen?

Gu Yilan must be planning some kind of prank again!

Lin Che chuckled inwardly; he would pretend the hypnosis had succeeded, and then, just when Gu Yilan believed it was real...

He would "wake up" immediately!

"You big idiot! To think you'd actually believe in a trick like hypnosis!"

--And then he would ruthlessly mock Gu Yilan!

With that, Lin Che relaxed his shoulders and let his gaze grow unfocused.

"My hypnosis is a success!"

Seeing Lin Che's state, Gu Yilan let out a delighted laugh!

Lin Che sneered in his heart.

Heh, this woman is truly easy to fool!

"Raise your right hand!"

Gu Yilan issued her command, and Lin Che pretended to cooperate by lifting his right hand.

"Great!"

Gu Yilan became exceptionally excited, her voice even trembling.

"I read online that in a hypnotic state... you won't retain any memories of whatever you do..."

Seeing Gu Yilan's excited appearance, Lin Che was beaming with joy inside.

Hurry up and give your command!

Once you say it, I'm going to mock you mercilessly!

However...

The thing he imagined did not happen!

Thump.

A sweet scent suddenly drifted into Lin Che's nostrils!

Like a spoiled little kitten, Gu Yilan pounced on him.

All of Lin Che's senses suddenly became hyper-sensitive.

He could even feel...

That beneath her loungewear, Gu Yilan was definitely wearing nothing at all!

No wonder Gu Yilan had been lying on the bed without getting up ever since she entered his room!

"Brother~"

A sweet, coquettish, and high-pitched voice spilled from Gu Yilan's lips.

Lin Che was shocked! Gu Yilan, who always called him "stinky Lin Che," was actually calling him "Brother" just like she did when they were kids!

The girl's sweet, warm breath hit Lin Che's face, making him feel dizzy!

"Because I was shy, I haven't called you that in a long time~"

"But..."

Gu Yilan extended her slender, fair arms and wrapped them around Lin Che's neck.

Her pure, moving, and exquisite face magnified in Lin Che's pupils!

Before Lin Che could react, a delicate and soft sensation pressed against his lips!

"Chu~"

Gu Yilan kissed Lin Che's upper lip, then his lower lip, her movements quite clumsy and filled with cautious hesitation.

Even so, Gu Yilan's cheeks were flushed completely red.

"I finally kissed Brother~"

"I love Brother the most!"

Lin Che was astonished!

After pretending to be hypnotized, he had actually heard Gu Yilan's confession!

If he woke up now and mocked her ruthlessly as planned... he would probably be beaten to death, right!

Lin Che suppressed his surging emotions and continued to pretend he was under hypnosis.

Meanwhile, Gu Yilan began pecking at Lin Che's cheeks like a chick pecking at rice!

Ten minutes later.

Gu Yilan pulled away from Lin Che's lap, panting heavily.

She didn't forget to use a tissue to wipe the saliva off Lin Che's face.

"Let's stop here for today... If we keep going, things are going to get very strange..."

"I still have to eat with Mother-in-law later, so I should probably restrain myself!"

Lin Che was shocked; the "Mother-in-law" Gu Yilan spoke of was clearly his own mother!

This woman, she had never considered herself an outsider from the very beginning!

Then, Gu Yilan took out her phone again, pointing the black-and-white swirling pattern toward Lin Che's eyes.

"Now, you will awaken from your hypnotic state."

"You will forget everything that happened during the hypnosis and will only feel as though you took a short nap."

"So, wake up!"

Gu Yilan snapped her fingers, and Lin Che cooperated by shaking his shoulders, his gaze shifting from a dazed state back into focus.

"St-stinky Lin Che, to actually fall asleep while doing your homework, you really, really, really are hopeless!"

Gu Yilan stammered as she scolded him, her bravado clearly masking her nervousness.

"Eh? Why is the corner of my mouth a bit wet?"

Lin Che deliberately reached up to touch his mouth.

Gu Yilan instantly bristled, grabbing Lin Che's hand to stop him from moving.

"It-it-it must be because you were drooling while you slept! How embarrassing!"

Chapter 2: Early Morning

Gu Yilan and Lin Che sat facing each other.

The young girl's cheeks were flushed red, her eyes darting around, not daring to meet Lin Che's gaze—she wore the expression of someone with a guilty conscience.

Gu Yilan didn't mention the hypnosis at all; judging by her behavior, she was trying to sweep everything that had just happened under the rug!

And Lin Che...
