Chapter 179: The Truth Comes Out

Lin Yin took out the repaired mobile phone again and dialed her own number, but it still did not connect. The numbers of the other classmates also remained unreachable.

Sitting on the worn-out sofa, she turned on the old TV in Lü Yang’s hall. Lin Yin recalled everything that had happened during the day, and her heart still raced violently.

Today’s experience was completely new and unfamiliar to her, and she realized… she had gradually started to fall in love with this feeling.

Being a man was really much better than being a woman! It wasn’t just the physical body and strength; there was also an unparalleled psychological superiority… maybe because she was over a dozen centimeters taller now? The world as seen through a man’s eyes was much broader than a woman’s, and the dominance in strength also gave men a natural advantage and initiative in many situations compared to women.

There was another deeper reason.

When Lin Yin’s mother was pregnant with her, because of the one-child policy, her father and grandmother had desperately hoped she would be a boy. Under such pressure, her mother naturally also wished for a son.

In the end, her birth disappointed many.

Although her parents still loved her deeply, while growing up, she couldn’t avoid hearing remarks from her grandmother and mother like, “If only you were a boy…”

Now, this situation felt like the best compensation, but… if she went home like this, saying she was their Yinyin… it would probably scare her parents and grandmother to death…

At eight o’clock in the evening, Lin Yin received another call.

…

Without the existence of Death Assassin Zhou Ling, Liu Hui and Lü Yang’s reunion in Guishe City was completely erased by the Mysterious Domain. Liu Hui still had no leads on Lü Yang’s whereabouts until that morning, and the fact that she could call Lü Yang’s number tonight was entirely due to her relentless efforts these past few days.

Liu Hui had made many migrant worker friends recently, and she was extremely generous with them, asking them to help spread the word and search for Lü Yang. Her hard work finally paid off that evening…

A decorator who had previously worked with Lü Yang was drinking and chatting with other migrant workers when he heard about the young lady from the Liu Family looking for Lü Yang. He then shared the mobile phone number Lü Yang had given him, although he didn’t think this Lü Yang was the one the Liu Family’s young lady was searching for.

One of the migrant workers drinking with him had personally met Liu Hui before and had her contact information. After they finished drinking, he immediately called Liu Hui’s mobile phone and gave her the number to claim credit.

Liu Hui hadn’t held much hope for this number initially, as she had received several numbers from migrant workers over the days. Most of the calls ended in disappointment, with the other person trying to imitate Lü Yang’s voice to flirt with her. But she could tell immediately—after all, Lü Yang’s unique, somewhat mature and magnetic voice, which didn’t quite match his age, had left a deep impression on her.

To Liu Hui’s surprise, this time when she dialed, the “Hello?” that came from the other side—that familiar yet strange voice—instantly filled her with excitement and joy.

Finding you again among so many people was truly not easy.

Liu Hui really wasn’t very clever—her method of searching for Lü Yang was too clumsy. If she had asked her uncle to search through The System, it might have been much easier. However, if she had done that, even if she found him, there was a high possibility her mother Li Tingting would intercept and stop it.

One could only say that she and Lü Yang were not yet out of fate. Even though their reunion had been erased once by the Mysterious Domain, she finally managed to contact him again.

“Are you Lü Yang?” Liu Hui still confirmed with the other person.

“Yes… I… you… wh-what do you want?” Lin Yin hesitated but still answered Liu Hui. She didn’t know who was looking for Lü Yang this time, but from the voice, it was clearly a girl around her own age whom she hadn’t met before.

Lü Yang, oh Lü Yang… your social circle is quite extensive, isn’t it? Looks like I might uncover some of your hidden secrets again. Should I tell Yi Ya about it later?

Hmm… it depends on how Lü Yang behaves.

“Do you remember me?” Liu Hui asked “Lü Yang” in a voice trembling with excitement.

“Um… sorry… I… can’t really tell…” Lin Yin started to regret answering the call again.

“It’s Xiao Hui!” Liu Hui said to “Lü Yang,” slightly disappointed.

“Xiao Hui? I… we… know each other?” Lin Yin could only bite the bullet and keep up the act now, while inwardly grumbling about Lü Yang…

Wow! You, Lü Yang! Xiao Ya is so beautiful, and you have a “Xiao Hui” outside too! Thought no one would find out, huh? Well, I caught you red-handed!

“We… spent an entire night together… that night, you and me… don’t you remember? You left me alone in the morning and ran off… I searched everywhere for you but couldn’t find you… How could you say you don’t remember me?” Liu Hui said to Lin Yin, sounding both hurt and somewhat incoherent.

“Really? That happened? We… were together… for a night?” Lin Yin’s eyes widened. It seemed Lü Yang not only knew this “Xiao Hui” but also had a one-night stand with her?

For Yi Ya’s future happiness, I must get to the bottom of this!

“My surname is Liu—Liu Jianhao’s daughter from Yida Group. Do you really not remember me at all?” Liu Hui felt even more wronged. The voice on the other end was clearly “Lü Yang’s,” but how could he have forgotten her completely in just a few days?

“Wow!”

Lin Yin exclaimed and quickly covered her mouth. She and Yi Ya had interned together at Jiahui Decoration, which was under Yida Group. Of course she knew about Yida Group, and she even knew the chairman Liu Jianhao. She had even heard of his daughter Liu Hui’s name, but she never imagined the “Xiao Hui” on the phone was the Liu Family’s young lady! And she actually had a one-night stand with Lü Yang!

Lü Yang, oh Lü Yang, I never expected this! You even slept with Liu Jianhao’s daughter! Quite the achievement, huh!

“Do you remember me now?” Liu Hui asked “Lü Yang” pitifully.

“Ah… haha… I… remember now.” Lin Yin didn’t know how to respond, so she just answered randomly.

“Really?” Hearing that Lü Yang finally recognized her, Liu Hui was so overjoyed she started crying.

“Xiao… Hui, wh-what… do you want with me?” Lin Yin asked Liu Hui somewhat awkwardly.

“I… I…” Liu Hui actually started crying from excitement, unable to speak clearly.

“You… you… why are you crying?” Lin Yin was startled and quickly asked Liu Hui.

“Do you know? Ever since that night, you just disappeared. I’ve been searching for you everywhere; it’s been so hard…” Liu Hui spoke while crying, sounding very upset.

“Ah… I see…” Lin Yin immediately “understood” even more. So after Lü Yang had a one-night stand with the Liu Family’s young lady, he just ran off! Leaving her searching everywhere for her lover. She finally found her way here, but she probably didn’t expect… that the one in this body right now wasn’t actually Lü Yang himself.

“Where are you? Can I see you again?” Liu Hui proposed to “Lü Yang.”

“You… why do you want to see me?” Lin Yin felt it was better to clarify things first. What if the Liu Family’s young lady was looking for love, and Lü Yang originally wanted to avoid her? Meeting up would just bring a lot of trouble for Lü Yang.

Although Lin Yin was quite displeased with Lü Yang’s one-night stand behavior, she and Lü Yang were still friends after all, so she naturally considered whether this might cause unnecessary problems for him.

“I… just want to see you again…” Liu Hui was at a loss for words too. Searching for so long had somewhat obsessed her; even if she only had feelings of goodwill and gratitude toward Lü Yang before, it had now turned into longing.

“Uh… what happened that night… let’s just forget it… treat it as… as if…” Lin Yin didn’t know how to express it either.

“How can I forget? It was my first time… with a boy… How can I just forget it like that? I’ll never forget…” Liu Hui originally wanted to say it was her first time spending so long with a boy and developing feelings for him, but she felt that was too direct. So she swallowed the rest of her words, thinking that by this point, Lü Yang should understand her feelings.

Feeling shy after saying this, Liu Hui covered her embarrassment with more crying.

First time!?

Lin Yin’s eyes widened again. Her mother had repeatedly taught her that a girl’s first time must be handled with extreme care and should never be given away lightly. Only when you’re sure the other person is the one you want to spend your life with, and only then on your wedding night, should you give your first time to them.

Who would have thought that Lü Yang actually took the Liu Family’s young lady’s first time and then ran off!

Lü Yang, oh Lü Yang! How could you be so irresponsible? I really misjudged you before! This kind of irresponsible behavior is absolutely unforgivable! What’s more, didn’t you spend an entire night with Xiao Ya just a few days ago?

I don’t know what you two did that night, but… ever since then, Xiao Ya has clearly changed. She comes to your rented room every day to cook dinner with you and stays until very late before going back. Before, she seemed very cold, but these past few days, her face has been glowing with happiness.

Lü Yang, oh Lü Yang! You’ve let me down so much!

“Ah… don’t cry… you… calling me today… is it… because you want me… to take responsibility… for what happened that night?” Lin Yin felt it was better to be cautious about such matters. She shouldn’t rush to clean up Lü Yang’s mess, or it would be too unfair to both the Liu Family’s young lady and Yi Ya.
