Chapter 36: Under the Bed

Leaving the school.

Lin Yi felt deeply that this world was outrageous and defied common sense.
He had been quite insignificant in this world before.
But now it was different; now he had the System and abilities.
Perhaps he could do something for this world.
With this thought, Lin Yi hailed a taxi to go home.

He had to submit his new novel’s manuscript next Monday.
He needed to prepare more in advance, especially regarding the writing style for the new market.
He had to learn more about their experiences from Yun Ling.
On Earth, writing normal harem stories, aside from certain time slots, was relatively simple, as there were no feminist complaints or overly strict censorship.
But this was a world where women were superior, and it was a perverted place at that.
He was a bit worried that if he wrote too excessively, girls wouldn’t accept it, leading to personal attacks, doxxing, or even real-life assaults.
He really couldn’t handle that.
This Friday, he also had to attend an event for Bai Shuang, which was also helping Yayun.

Lin Yi thought about these things as he got into the car.
Suddenly.
He saw a familiar figure on the street.
Luo Tianyou, what was she doing here?
As if sensing Lin Yi’s gaze, Luo Tianyou quickly hid behind a telephone pole.
‘Not good, Lin Yi found me.’
‘This won’t do. My camouflage skills don’t seem to be up to par; I need to go back and learn from Zhu Xi and the others.’
‘But why did Lin Yi come to this school?’
‘This school is famously known as a trash school, far and wide.’
‘Everyone inside is a prisoner from the old society; it’s practically a prison.’
‘And this prison, generally, doesn’t allow men who aren’t school staff to get close.’
‘What’s more, Lin Yi was even brought by that woman with the medical license.’

Luo Tianyou’s delicate brows furrowed; she was momentarily confused.
However, she didn’t dwell on it for too long.
Those old-era women, every single one of them had problematic ideologies, and many had extremely heinous ones.
It was normal for her not to understand them.
Now, the most important thing she needed to do was think about how to make Lin Yi gradually accept her.
She didn’t want to be a third party forever.
So she took out her phone again and posted a question in the WeChat group.

“Um, it’s me again. My friend encountered another problem today. The fiancée of the man she likes went on a business trip, supposedly for a long time. But after the fiancée left, another strange woman came and moved into the house of the man she likes. What should she do at this point?”
“Oh, and another important point: she has already deeply tasted the milk of the man she likes. This is something worth showing off. I even treated him to a big meal.”
Soon, replies began to pour into the WeChat group.

“Why ask such a simple question multiple times? Come on, everyone in this WeChat group is a woman of the new era. Let’s make an assumption: from now on, you are that friend of yours.”
“Exactly, the other party’s fiancée isn’t even there. Why don’t you just stir-fry him, and be done with it?”
“That’s right, that’s right!”

The WeChat group was a cacophony of voices.
Luo Tianyou read for a long time, but couldn’t find any useful information.
Luo Tianyou could only sigh helplessly.
After all, if everyone truly had a way, had the ability, to find their beloved man, they wouldn’t be in this group.
She still had to rely on herself.
First step: install more cameras!
Lin Yi’s home needed more cameras and recording equipment, including the hallway, and especially the women in his house who had designs on Lin Yi.
Remembering this, Luo Tianyou happily found the surveillance footage.
The woman named Bai Shuang and Lin Yi’s ❤️ (intimacy) was both aesthetically pleasing and valuable for learning.
It could be watched repeatedly.

Luo Tianyou looked at the surveillance footage, her finger frozen on the rewind button, her expression somewhat stiff.

She saw a woman in the surveillance footage who shouldn’t have been there.
Shen Xixi.

The famous illustrator of the new era.
Why was she in Lin Yi’s house?
And why was she hiding under Lin Yi’s bed?
‘No, wait,’
‘How did she even get into Lin Yi’s room?’

Luo Tianyou hesitated for a few seconds, many questions flashing through her mind.
She was quite familiar with this woman, Shen Xixi; she was an actively chaotic individual.
She was neither centrist, reformist, nor traditionalist.

Her beliefs were distinct from all current factions on the market, very complex, encompassing a bit of every faction, yet belonging to none in large numbers.
Or, to put it less politely, in Luo Tianyou’s eyes, Shen Xixi’s behavior seemed like that of a fair-weather friend: she’d lean wherever the wind blew, completely without her own thoughts.

‘Such a woman shouldn’t be much of a threat, right…?’
‘But the problem is, why would she be under Lin Yi’s bed?’
‘Should I tell Lin Yi that there’s a woman in his house?’
