Chapter 73: A ball, how can it go into two holes at the same time!

Lin Yeman stood frozen in place.

"Sister, what... did you say?"

She swallowed hard, doubting if she was suffering from tinnitus.

Yang Lan took a deep breath, looked at Lin Yeman with utmost seriousness, and spoke again: "I want to ask, are you willing to become Shen Huai's girlfriend with me?"

"...??"

Lin Yeman's brain crashed for a moment.

How did this person go crazy again just in the time it took to deliver some noodles?

To be honest.

The moment she heard Yang Lan say these words so nonchalantly, a faint annoyance rose in Lin Yeman's heart.

Even if she wasn't valued by her father, Yang Huo, she wouldn't go so far as to share a husband with someone else.

Furthermore.

This is 21st-century China; is it still fashionable to have dowries in business marriages? Even if she agreed, the law wouldn't allow it.

"Sister, what kind of shock have you received?" Lin Yeman didn't show too much emotion, but asked cautiously instead.

Upon hearing this, Yang Lan told Lin Yeman everything she had experienced in Shen Huai's room, point by point.

Especially when describing how she used her body to manually cool Shen Huai down, she narrated it with immersion and seriousness.

After listening.

Lin Yeman's face was so dark it was unwatchable.

Although Yang Lan's choice of words was very solemn.

In Lin Yeman's mind, various salacious scenes had already played out.

Every time she closed her eyes, her mind was filled with the scenes Yang Lan described of being embraced by Shen Huai.

Thinking of how tightly Shen Huai held her sister, and how he even got a nosebleed from excitement.

Lin Yeman felt even more displeased.

They say sincerity is the ultimate trump card.

But you can't keep playing the trump card; who wouldn't go crazy if it were them?!

Lin Yeman couldn't help but rub her temples in a headache.

When will this Yang Lan ever understand what's good for her?

Shen Huai's words were clearly meant to avoid the situation becoming even more awkward, which is why he intentionally spoke so heavily.

The goal was to make Yang Lan retreat in the face of difficulty.

But look at her.

Not only did she misunderstand the prompt, but she also gave an answer that was ridiculously wrong.

Can she really not see that she actually doesn't want her to be with Shen Huai?

Lin Yeman glanced quietly at Yang Lan.

Seeing her sister waiting for her answer with such a serious face, it didn't seem like she was joking.

Her eyes darted, and she asked cleverly: "... Sister, do you like Shen Huai that much? Like him enough to be willing to share a man with another girl?"

"But... you aren't 'another girl,' you are my own sister."

Yang Lan blinked, and the shocking words tumbled out: "Since we are sisters, of course we should share good things together."

"?"

Lin Yeman was almost choked by her own saliva.

She stared at Yang Lan, dumbfounded, seriously suspecting that Yang Lan had been possessed by some love-struck vengeful spirit.

How can a new-era independent woman be so crazy when she gets horny? Ahhhhh!

Looking at Yang Lan's confused expression.

Lin Yeman felt like she was casting pearls before swine, experiencing a sense of helpless mania where she wanted to scratch her head for the first time.

People cannot comprehend things outside their own cognition.

Just like Yang Lan at this moment.

Protected too well by Yang Huo since childhood, she had never known the taste of love, let alone been with a man. Lin Yeman didn't know how to explain to her that not everything can be shared! How can one ball go into two holes at the same time! Furthermore.

Shen Huai probably never even thought Yang Lan would take that sentence seriously!

"Sister, calm down first."

Lin Yeman pressed her throbbing temple and explained with patience, "That's not what Shen Huai meant; he didn't really want you to persuade me. He just felt it was awkward for a man and a woman to be alone in a room and wanted an excuse to send you away."

"What did you say?"

Yang Lan's mouth formed an 'O' shape: "His words... actually meant that..."

The next second, a look of confusion surfaced on Yang Lan's face again: "But if he felt awkward, why didn't he just say so?"

"Is speaking in riddles a unique form of flirting between couples?"

"..."

Lin Yeman was almost angered to the point of laughter, but not wanting to be too blunt, she could only tease: "Sister, do you think it's possible that anyone with normal comprehension could hear the subtext in Shen Huai's words?"

"... So that's how it is..."

After hearing Lin Yeman's explanation.

Far from being angry, Yang Lan felt a strange sense of relief in her heart.

Immediately, Yang Lan propped her chin with one hand and began to think seriously.

Lin Yeman didn't know what she was overthinking, but since she couldn't bring herself to ask, she could only sit silently to the side and watch her.

Before long.

It was as if the petrified Yang Lan had suddenly come back to life.

She took out her phone to check the time, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Yeman, for couples on a date, isn't the most common place to go the outdoors?"

"... Hm? Maybe... I suppose so."

Lin Yeman hadn't expected Yang Lan to change the subject so quickly, and she replied in a dry, distracted manner.

Yang Lan rested her chin on her hand, pondered for a moment, and then her eyes suddenly lit up: "Then can you act as my Military Advisor in a little while?"

"Military Advisor? What are you up to now?" Lin Yeman immediately had a bad premonition.

"I've figured one thing out."

"The communication between Shen Huai and me might have a certain degree of misunderstanding."

Yang Lan analyzed with a straight face: "I think this difference might be caused by the inequality in our dating experience."

"Huh? And so?" Lin Yeman's eyes gradually widened.

"So, I plan to ask Shen Huai to the garden, appeal to his emotions and reason with him, and have a heart-to-heart, honest conversation that belongs only to couples."

"You... how do you plan to chat?"

Yang Lan waved her hand grandly, excitedly grabbed Lin Yeman's hand, and her eyes flashed with a sharp light, "When the time comes, I'll wear earphones, and you can assist me from the side, okay?"

Hearing this, Lin Yeman opened her mouth, but before the words could come out, a sense of bitterness surged in her heart first.

With a stubborn expression, she pressed down Yang Lan's hand, remained silent for a long time, and then raised her eyes to look at her slowly: "Sister, why are you so convinced that I am suitable to be your Military Advisor?"

Yang Lan was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "What's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly talking so strangely?"

Yang Lan didn't notice the change in Lin Yeman's expression at all and continued to talk to herself: "In terms of dating experience, you are more experienced than me, and haven't you always been the one helping me vet things?"

"Besides, you and he have a project collaboration relationship now, so you should understand him better than I do."

Hearing these words from Yang Lan.

Lin Yeman finally couldn't hold it in anymore.

The displeasure in her heart was almost written all over her face, and she said in a low tone: "Sister, do you know the saying, 'A Military Advisor never goes to the battlefield'?"

Yang Lan: "I've heard of it, why?"

"Then do you know what the next line of that saying is?"

Yang Lan: "What is it?"

Lin Yeman took a deep breath and slowly enunciated: "A Military Advisor never goes to the battlefield; once they do, they become love-struck."

"You trust me this much—aren't you afraid that one day, this Military Advisor of yours will usurp your position?"
