Chapter 240: Obsessed

Everyone here is an adult; everyone understands the logic, and even if Yin Huaiyu wanted to pretend he didn't understand, he couldn't. Regarding this affection, he had reached the end of his rope.

In fact, from the moment Ling Wu jumped into the sea, all possibilities between them were thoroughly buried; unless Ling Wu returned to the Empire, Yin Huaiyu could still employ coercive measures, but in the Federation, he could only wait for Ling Wu to be willing.

But how long would he have to wait, and how long could he wait?

No one could say for sure.

Yin Huaiyu unconsciously rubbed the ring box in his pocket with his fingertips; when he brought this thing, he hadn't expected to be able to give it away, and now that the dust had settled, it was a death sentence.

Those things one seeks but cannot obtain, and those one wishes to abandon but cannot, are cruelly fair to everyone.

Yin Huaiyu still wanted to fight for it: "Ling Wu, since you've said that past matters are all in the past tense, then that's equivalent to turning the page, right?"

Ling Wu nodded: "Yes, turned the page."

"Fine, you said it yourself." Yin Huaiyu squeezed a smile onto his face: "Then let's get to know each other again, starting as friends."

Friends?

Ling Wu was a bit hesitant.

Yin Huaiyu saw his hesitation, and his whole body tensed up again: "You're unwilling?"

Ling Wu was not provoked by his reverse psychology; he knew Yin Huaiyu couldn't stay in the Federation all the time, and there would eventually be a day he returned to the Empire, so he used a delaying tactic: "No, if being friends can make you behave a little, then let's be friends."

From strangers to friends, it could be considered a big step forward.

The goal was achieved, and Yin Huaiyu's Adam's apple rolled uncontrollably; the car window glass reflected the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, and those naturally amorous peach-blossom eyes looked even softer.

His laughter was hearty, and the mood that had been suppressed for a long time was released with relief.

Next, he would proceed step by step, planning slowly.

Yin Huaiyu handed his phone to Ling Wu with composure: "Save your contact information, good friend."

Ling Wu took the phone, entered the contact information efficiently, and then tossed the phone back to him: "Alright, you'd better not call me randomly when you have nothing to do."

"Why?" Yin Huaiyu asked.

He was full of rebellion and dialed the number; Ling Wu's phone rang, and after Yin Huaiyu confirmed it: "It's not a fake number, then I'm relieved."

"I'm also very busy and won't call you randomly, but if I find out you've blocked me, I'll harass you every day with different numbers."

Ling Wu: "..."

"It's best if it stays that way."

Yin Huaiyu knew he wanted to shoo him away, and wanting to stay a little longer, he found another topic: "Although you didn't ask, I can still say that you hid your tracks very well; Jing Du and the others and I couldn't find you and all thought you had died in the sea."

"I happened to scroll past a post from your S University, it had your photo on it, so I followed the clues and caught you."

Ling Wu couldn't tell if he was praising or belittling him: "Yin Huaiyu, with this kind of perseverance, wouldn't it be better to do something else?"

It was Yin Huaiyu's turn to be silent.

"..."

Yin Huaiyu didn't take his words to heart and said again: "You should be careful; that post is quite popular. Since I could scroll past it, Jing Du and Yu Shixue might also be able to. If you don't want them to know you're still alive, it's best to have someone take the post down quickly."

"This is simple for you, right?"

Ling Wu looked out the window: "I know, I'll have someone take the post down."

Yin Huaiyu resolved two strong romantic rivals in the midst of conversation, and he narrowed his eyes: "Rest assured, I won't reveal the news of you being in the Federation to them."

"Is that so?"

Ling Wu had a good memory: "You said the same thing last time."

"..." Yin Huaiyu was quickly reminded of the memory by his words, knowing Ling Wu was bringing up the time he revealed his identity to Jing Du, and he awkwardly touched the tip of his nose: "That was me being blinded by obsession; this time, I guarantee it."
