"..."
The girls didn't stay long in Tang Luochuan's dormitory. After all, at this moment, their focus was more on Sister Ye Hui, who was trying to overtake them on the curve.
As for Luo Chuan here, he seemed less important. So after chatting for a while, they all left one after another, leaving only Dai Yun'er, who had her own plans.
And she had actually...
Earlier, while everyone was chatting, she had quietly placed what she had prepared into each small teacup.
Luo Chuan's mental power was indeed strong, but when other good sisters were around, creating a perfect space and opportunity for her, even Luo Chuan would definitely not notice.
Whichever teacup it was, as long as she drank with Luo Chuan or anyone else...
Everything would be perfect.
"Yun'er..."
"Did you stay behind because there's something else?"
Looking in Dai Yun'er's direction, Tang Luochuan smiled gently at this moment, though a hint of deeper meaning flickered in his eyes...
For some reason, he had a bad feeling.
"I just want to spend more time with you..."
"Is that not allowed?"
Hearing this, Dai Yun'er shook her head, blinking her eyes and looking at him expectantly as she asked.
"Of course it is."
Tang Luochuan smiled and shook his head, speaking slowly.
"Hehe."
Dai Yun'er giggled?
"Huff..."
"This time, I've drugged both cups. Even if Luo Chuan doesn't drink, I'll just drink it myself if necessary..."
In her heart, Dai Yun'er's eyes flashed with endless shyness. She pursed her lips, her little mind racing at this moment, having already decided on the next steps, murmuring to herself.
If Luo Chuan doesn't fall for the trick, she'll just fall for it herself!
Entering the game personally is the only way to gain a slight advantage!
However, a knock on the door that followed made her sense a whiff of danger.
"Hmm?"
"Who is it?"
Hearing the noise at the door, Tang Luochuan couldn't help but freeze for a moment. Everyone else had already left earlier, so now...
Who else would come looking for him?
Beside him, Dai Yun'er subconsciously frowned at this moment, her internal alarms ringing loudly. Something's wrong, very, very wrong!
"What."
"Has Luo Chuan gotten so close with other sisters..."
"That you don't even want to see me anymore?"
When Tang Luochuan opened the door, what greeted his eyes was Gu Yue, her gaze carrying traces of resentment. As she spoke, her eyes glanced meaningfully at Dai Yun'er not far away.
Hmph, keeping a mistress...
Well, it's not exactly keeping a mistress, but she had clearly seen all those girls leaving Luo Chuan's dormitory one by one earlier. This Luo Chuan...
Just returned, and already looking for other little sisters!
"Yun'er, could you step out for a moment? I have something I want to discuss with Luo Chuan..."
For a moment, she looked calmly in Dai Yun'er's direction, her face wearing a relatively composed expression as she spoke slowly.
"O... okay."
Hearing this, even though Dai Yun'er was extremely unwilling in her heart, to ensure her plan wouldn't be ruined, she could only nod and agree.
"Luo Chuan, Sister Gu Yue, I'll take my leave then..."
"Waiting for you at the door?"
Dai Yun'er took a deep breath and asked.
"Mm, alright."
Both Tang Luochuan and Gu Yue responded.
Then, under their gazes, Dai Yun'er silently walked out of the dorm and stood by the doorway.
"Sister Gu Yue and Luo Chuan probably won't stay too long. I just need to wait at the door a little longer, and it should be about right?"
A thoughtful expression crossed Dai Yun'er's face as she murmured to herself.
This time...
It might be her closest step to success!
"Gu Yue, what's wrong?"
Inside the room, Tang Luochuan looked at Gu Yue before him and asked softly, yet for some reason, since she appeared, the ominous feeling in his heart had grown increasingly stronger.
Could it be that the real issue wasn't with Yun'er, but with... Gu Yue?
"But."
"What could possibly be off about Gu Yue."
Tang Luochuan couldn't figure it out no matter how much he thought, completely unaware of the situation's significance. He then stopped overthinking it and didn't pay it much mind.
As he pondered, he stepped forward and gently took her hand, only for her to lightly shake it off and take a few steps back.
"You've held plenty of other girls' hands already."
"Why bother holding mine now."
Gu Yue snorted lightly, her gaze shifting to the tea on the table. She picked up a cup and drank it in one go, speaking reluctantly.
Luo Chuan, that wretched Luo Chuan...
He spent half a month out with Ye Hui, and as soon as he returns, he's looking for the next one, not even thinking to spend time with her!
"Not at all."
"How could that be."
Hearing this, Tang Luochuan immediately shook his head with a smile, stepping forward to pull her into an embrace. He could clearly see the reason for Gu Yue's mood.
Having spent over half a month with Ye Hui before this, and being sought out by Xiao Yan and the others as soon as he returned—in her eyes, wasn't that just the behavior of a fickle and shameless man?
Though he really was shameless...
But getting Gu Yue to accept it required some limits, and what was happening now was clearly not within those bounds.
"Let go of me."
Gu Yue snorted with no real force, pretending to struggle free but making no actual effort to pull away.
It had been over half a month since she last held Luo Chuan...
That heartless little thing!
"What if I said..."
"They all came on their own, would you believe me?"
Looking at the beauty in his arms, Tang Luochuan hesitated for a moment before adopting a thoughtful expression and asking softly.
"..."
Gu Yue seemed about to speak but stopped herself, saying nothing more. She just rolled her eyes, letting him figure it out on his own.
Came on their own...
Why not say all the other girls formed an alliance and, after being informed by Ye Hui, came here together?
"Hmm..."
Tang Luochuan gave a helpless smile. Well, truth be told, he didn't quite believe it himself, but...
They all showed up so fresh and lively on their own.
"You really are something..."
Gu Yue said slowly, but as she spoke, she suddenly sensed something off. She pulled away from his embrace, though her face was flushed.
"What's wrong?"
Tang Luochuan was taken aback and couldn't help asking.
"Luo Chuan..."
"Don't you feel..."
"Something isn't right? Why does it feel like the temperature today is so hot..."
Gradually, Gu Yue felt something was amiss, her brows slightly furrowed as she exhaled softly like an orchid. A trace of seductive charm flickered in her eyes, and she couldn't help murmuring.
"Huh?"
"The temperature is scalding... how is this possible?"
Hearing this, Tang Luochuan froze momentarily. Watching her seductive, silken gaze, he found himself momentarily captivated, yet his heart grew even more bewildered.
Gu Yue...
Why does she seem as if her inner fire has suddenly ignited?
"Water... it's the water..."
"Luo Chuan..."
"What did you put... in your water?"
The next moment, Gu Yue gazed dazedly at Tang Luochuan before her, as if realizing something. Her eyes grew somewhat unfocused as she mumbled.
"The water..."
"Was it Yun'er?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Luochuan stiffened further, his mind instantly making connections. He couldn't help but glance at the tea on the table—no wonder Yun'er had lingered...
"Luo Chuan, I..."
"I'm so hot..."
"..."
