Fu Shi was stunned for a second, then grumbled, 〈You've watched way too many Chinese palace dramas!〉
Everyone in the livestream room watched these girls fight over a man and started munching on snacks, while only Siegfried and Raiden Ryoma squatted silently in a corner, wiping tears from the corners of their eyes.
---------------------------------
[ Arriving at Kevin's doorstep, Lin raised his hand and knocked powerfully and rapidly on the door, while shouting loudly, "Kevin, open up! Your father has come to visit you!" ]
Kevin couldn't help but clench his fists, 〈???〉
Fu Lin rubbed his chin, a hint of guilt flashing through his eyes, and muttered softly, "Was I always this bold? How dare I talk to the Ancestor like this?"
[ However, in the very next second, the tightly shut door suddenly flew open as if yanked by some invisible force, revealing Kevin inside, his face dark and full of displeasure.
Kevin's icy eyes stared straight at Lin outside the door. Before Lin could even speak, there was a loud "bang" as the door was slammed shut again.
Lin was instantly stunned, his face full of awkwardness and helplessness.
At that moment, a few crisp chuckles broke the brief silence.
Turning his head, Lin saw Elysia covering her mouth with one hand, teasing gently,
"Oh my, Lin, I didn't expect even you to get the cold shoulder."
Hearing that, Lin's face flushed slightly. Scratching his head, he tried to act calm and said, "Ahem, Kevin usually doesn't act like this when he sees me. That must've been a fluke."
After speaking, Lin rolled up his sleeves, clearly unwilling to give up, and prepared to knock on the closed door again.
But just as his hand was about to touch the door, Elysia suddenly rushed over to stop him and said hastily, "Wait, don't rush. Since Kevin clearly doesn't want to see us, knocking a hundred times won't help either."
As she spoke, Elysia leaned in close to Lin's ear, lowering her voice to share her idea in a whisper.
After hearing Elysia's words, Lin's face instantly darkened. His usually gentle expression turned serious as he solemnly replied, "Deceiving Kevin... I can't do that!" ]
Everyone, 〈???〉
Everyone stared blankly at the serious Lin in the video, rejecting Elysia's suggestion, full of question marks in their minds.
If they didn't already know he later turned into Mei to deceive Kevin, just this scene alone would make anyone think Lin was someone extremely upright and principled.
[ Elysia's lips curved up slightly in a faint smile as she replied, "We're not deceiving Kevin, this is all to encourage him. Besides, I heard you're the one who likes doing this kind of thing the most, right?"
Hearing this, Fu Lin's tense expression suddenly changed in a strange way.
"Who told you that?! How dare they slander me like this! I'm irreconcilable with them!"
Then, he cleared his throat and said, "Ahem... Even if I can change my appearance, I can't change the color of my pupils. As soon as Kevin sees them, I'll be exposed instantly."
At this moment, Elysia laughed proudly and pulled out a small box from her pocket, saying, "Oh don't worry~ I already thought of that. Look, I specially borrowed these colored contacts from Eden, they're exactly the same color as Mei's eyes. This way, we can perfectly hide your eye color. Kevin won't notice a thing!"
Fu Lin's eyes widened in shock as he stared at the little box in Elysia's hand, shouting, "So that's it, Elysia! This was your real plan all along, wasn't it? You were plotting this from the very beginning!"
But before he could finish his sentence, Elysia quickly dashed forward, covered his mouth, and whispered urgently, "Shhh, keep your voice down! If Kevin hears us, our whole plan will be ruined!" ]
Elysia, 〈Ah, I really miss those times~〉
Fu Lin, on the other hand, said with a look of utter despair, "After watching that video, I suddenly don't feel like remembering those memories anymore."
[ Night quietly fell, and the sky was filled with stars.
At this moment, Elysia stood in front of a bright vanity mirror, staring at the slightly blushing 'Doctor Mei' in the reflection, with a meaningful smile on her lips.
"Lin, look at you now, you're so cute I could just take a bite!"
Elysia said sweetly, her voice brimming with joy.
However, Lin rolled his eyes at her, then lightly slapped away the mischievous hands roaming over his body and said, "Where do you think you're touching?"
Hearing that, Elysia giggled and replied, "Dearest Lin, don't be mad~ I was just trying to help you check if you really look identical to Mei. But now that I'm touching, Mei's figure is amazing! I'm kinda jealous of Kevin."
"Anyone else is fine, but if you even think of making a move on Mei, Kevin will be the first to teach you a lesson."
Lin looked helplessly at Elysia, who put on an innocent expression, and could only shift his gaze back to the mirror.
In the mirror, the figure was graceful, with perfect curves, completely identical to Doctor Mei. No one could tell the difference.
Yet for some reason, a hint of hesitation and uncertainty still flickered in Lin's eyes.
"...Are you sure this won't be a problem?"
Elysia circled around Lin, carefully examining him. She poked here and there as if admiring a fine piece of art.
"Hmm, let me take another good look. Your expression needs to be more serious, cold and distant. Yes, yes, just like that. Keep it up. Trust me, that guy Kevin won't suspect a thing."
After saying that, Elysia nodded with satisfaction, looked up at the darkening sky outside the window, and rubbed her hands excitedly.
"Hehe, it's getting dark... time for a bit of mischief, AHEM, I mean time to go encourage Kevin~"
Before she even finished speaking, Elysia couldn't wait to start pushing Lin toward Kevin's room.
Along the way, her wandering hands occasionally took advantage of the situation, making Lin glare at her angrily, though helpless to stop her.
After all, facing Elysia, the queen of troublemakers, appearing in front of her as a woman was already the biggest mistake. ]
Hard. Seeing this scene, Kiana☆ clenched her fists tightly.
And in Fu Shi's mind, a sudden spark flashed like lightning straight toward Fu Lin as she curiously asked, "Lin, I just thought of something. Could it be that because you can freely transform into anyone, you've lost interest in that kind of intimacy between men and women?"
Upon hearing this, the corner of Fu Lin's mouth twitched slightly, and his previously calm face rippled with subtle emotion.
He cleared his throat, picked up his teacup, and answered helplessly,
"Fu Shi, don't let your thoughts run wild. I'm not some pervert, why would I be so obsessed with stuff like that..."
But to Fu Lin's shock, Fu Shi looked him in the eye and blurted out without hesitation, "Then I'll be the pervert."
That line struck Fu Lin like a bolt of lightning on a clear day.
In an instant, his whole body froze. The teacup in his hand nearly slipped from his grip in shock.
He stared wide-eyed at the unexpectedly bold Fu Shi, and the tea he hadn't yet swallowed suddenly sprayed out.
Seeing Fu Lin in such a mess, Fu Shi smiled innocently and said, "Why so shocked? I was just kidding."
