Chapter 486: The Melon-Eating Trio~

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."

------------------------------

[ The scene shifts, returning to the moment shown at the beginning of the video.

Not far away, Elysia is smiling brightly, giving a thumbs-up towards the direction of Lin as if cheering someone on.

The next second, the scene changes again.

Elysia is seen leaning against a door, pressing her ear closely to it, fully focused on eavesdropping on any sound from within.

Just then, Hua happens to pass by and immediately notices Elysia's rather suspicious behavior. Curiosity rising, she quickly walks over and softly asks, "Ely, what are you doing lying at Kevin's door?"

Startled by the voice, Elysia quickly turns her head. Seeing that it's Hua, she freezes for a moment, then hastily raises a finger to her lips, signaling Hua to lower her voice.

She then carefully points to the tightly shut door in front of her, seemingly inviting Hua to join in on the secret eavesdropping.

Seeing this, Hua blinks, and in an instant, the gossip-loving instincts awaken within her.

She nods knowingly, then tiptoes over to the door, mimicking Elysia by crouching down and pressing her ear to the crack, trying to catch any sounds from inside.

Sure enough, they soon clearly hear the voices of Kevin and Mei from within the room.

They hear 'Mei' shout coyly, "No, Kevin!"

That shout leaves Hua, who is eavesdropping outside the door, utterly stunned. Her eyes widen, and a faint blush creeps across her fair cheeks.

She turns to the equally surprised Elysia and whispers,

"Ely, Kevin and Dr. Mei are... Is it really okay for us to be listening in like this?"

Elysia furrows her brow slightly, pauses in thought, then mutters to herself, "Hmm... It should be fine, I believe Lin can definitely handle this kind of situation with ease."

Hearing this cryptic murmur, Hua becomes puzzled and asks, "What does this have to do with Brother Lindsay and?"

But by now, Elysia's full attention is fixed on the subtle sounds coming from behind the door.

She is completely focused, ready to rush in at any moment should something happen.

Thus, she pays no mind to Hua's question, let alone offers a reasonable answer.

Just then, a lithe figure sneaks up from not far away. Seeing Elysia and Hua eavesdropping at Kevin's door, her curiosity is instantly piqued.

Without hesitation, she rushes over and successfully joins this impromptu "eavesdropping squad."

And so, Elysia, Hua, and Pardofelis now all press themselves tightly against Kevin's door, concentrating on picking up every single sound.

Pardofelis mutters quietly, "It's been so long and Boss Kevin still hasn't succeeded—could it be he's not up to it?"

Hua also hesitantly says, "...Dr. Mei seems to be resisting Kevin the whole time."

As the trio whispers among themselves, they are completely unaware that Doctor Mei is quietly approaching from the hallway nearby.

Before long, Doctor Mei arrives at Kevin's residence. Upon seeing the scene before her, a look of surprise appears on her face. She adjusts her glasses and asks,

"It's so late—what are you doing at Kevin's door?"

"Shhh—!"

But the three don't seem to realize who has arrived, all gesturing at Mei to hush and whispering, "Quiet! Don't let Kevin notice!"

Doctor Mei can't help but frown, a trace of astonishment flashing in her eyes.

Just then, strange noises come from within the room, and Doctor Mei's face suddenly darkens, as if shrouded in a dark mist.

Elysia and the other two instantly feel a chill climb up their spines. Slowly and mechanically, they turn their heads.

In a flash, Hua and Pardofelis's eyes go wide, staring in shock at Doctor Mei, then back at the door, mouths agape as if they could fit an egg inside.

At this moment, their brains go completely blank, unable to think.

It's Elysia who reacts first. She coughs lightly, trying to act nonchalant, and casually makes up an excuse,

"Ahem, I suddenly remembered I still have laundry outside... I'll go get it now..."

With that, Elysia turns and starts to flee.

Seeing this, Pardofelis snaps out of it and quickly chimes in, "Right right right, I just remembered I need to restock new goods too. If I don't go now it'll be too late. I'm off! Goodbye, Dr. Mei!"

Without looking back, she dashes off in the direction Elysia fled.

Hua remains standing there, mouth slightly open, an awkward and nervous expression on her face as she stammers, "Dr... Dr. Mei, I just remembered I might've forgotten to turn off the gas in my room... I'll be going too!"

And with that, she too vanishes in a flash from the doorway.

Doctor Mei is momentarily taken aback, then quickly turns her gaze toward the door. Slowly, she raises her hand and reaches into her pocket.

Finally, she finds a key, inserts it into the lock without hesitation, and with a soft click, the lock opens.

Next, Doctor Mei forcefully pushes the door open with a loud bang.

Meanwhile, the three who had just "escaped" poke their heads out from a distance.

They carefully observe the situation and exchange glances.

Hua, still shaken, looks at Elysia and asks, "Ely, what's going on? That was Dr. Mei just now—so who's in that room?"

Pardofelis pats her chest in lingering fear and says in shock, "Could Boss Kevin have betrayed Dr. Mei?!"

Elysia brushes her hair back and forces a smile, "Well... it's a long story. Better to see it with your own eyes." I didn't expect Mei to come looking for Kevin either. May Lin be safe...

.....

As the flashback ends, ripples once again spread across the once calm screen.

Elysia is already kneeling next to Lin, listening to Doctor Mei's lecture along with him, while also enduring Kevin's resentful glare from the side.

And so, the entire video ends at this moment. ]

Mei☆, 〈Elysia, you...〉

Elysia, 〈Sigh, I didn't mean for it to turn out this way either, but unexpected things always happen～〉

Kiana☆, 〈Hmph! You wicked woman! How could you abandon Fu Lin and run away by yourself?! Unbelievable!〉
