Chapter 216: Skin Allergy

If Lü Yang did not tell her any of these things, she would have been very confused after returning to school. She might have even collapsed completely when her memory went wrong, or been considered crazy by her classmates.

“Then tell me!” Lin Yin looked at Lü Yang a bit unhappily.

“I will tell you then… Please don’t think it is too strange…” Lü Yang had no choice but to pick some things about the Mysterious Domain to tell Lin Yin. He mainly wanted to explain the curse they had experienced, why Lin Yin became beautiful, and the disappearances of Gong Jian, Yang Lin, and Wu Yunfei.

Just as Lü Yang expected, Lin Yin was completely confused by what she heard. It was like listening to a heavenly book to her.

Unless Lü Yang asked someone to write everything he went through into a novel of several hundred thousand words, detailed and word for word… But even then, Lin Yin probably would not have understood it…

“I am going to the restroom first. You can continue telling me after I come out.” Lin Yin wanted to pee, so she said this to Lü Yang.

“I will go too.” Lü Yang went with Lin Yin toward the restroom.

After the two arrived at the restroom entrance, they both stood in front of the door for a long while. They looked left and right, glanced at each other, then looked back at themselves. After making sure they were not mistaken, they each walked into the Men’s and Women’s restrooms.

Lü Yang came out first and waited outside for quite a while before Lin Yin came out of the Women’s Restroom.

Lin Yin held her mobile phone. Her face was very red, and she stared straight at Lü Yang with teary eyes. She looked like she was angry, or maybe some other emotion—anyway, she seemed very upset.

When Lü Yang saw the mobile phone in Lin Yin’s hand and her strange expression, he had a bad feeling inside. He suddenly remembered the photos he took with the phone…

No way?

He actually forgot about this completely!

It was over!

…

It was indeed those photos.

In a place with no one around, Lin Yin pushed Lü Yang against the wall. She held the phone screen in front of his face and asked him one question: “What is this?”

On the phone screen was a close-up of the middle part of Lin Yin’s buttocks. The pose was very embarrassing; it looked like she was imitating a little female dog lying down.

“Oh, this? Yinyin, don’t misunderstand. That day… that day… after I took a bath… it was very itchy there. I thought it was… a skin allergy or something growing… or maybe a mosquito bite… I couldn’t see it, so I had to take a picture to see what was going on…” Lü Yang had to make up an excuse on the spot.

“Is that so? You took hundreds of pictures in all kinds of poses?” Lin Yin would not believe Lü Yang’s lies no matter what.

“There weren’t that many!” Lü Yang was shocked… Thinking back, it seemed he really did take a lot… The first time he took over a hundred pictures. Later, after the charm enhancement, he took many more. He originally planned to delete all of them before returning, but how could he have forgotten?

“What did you take these pictures for? To post them online?” Lin Yin’s head felt dizzy, and her body trembled. For a girl like her, if these pictures got out and were seen by classmates or family, her life would be completely ruined.

“No! Absolutely not! I just looked at them myself…” Lü Yang quickly assured Lin Yin.

“How could you do such a thing? How can I believe you?” Lin Yin stared blankly at Lü Yang. She really could not understand his real purpose for taking these pictures. From what she learned online, usually when a man took such pictures, it was because he wanted to threaten a woman.

Since he took these pictures, she could not be sure if he saved another copy somewhere else, or if someone else had seen them. Lin Yin felt like the sky was falling.

“I am sorry…” Lü Yang had nothing else to say. He could only apologize. He was extremely angry with himself for forgetting such an important matter…

Lin Yin’s body went weak. She stumbled two steps to the side, then leaned against the wall and cried bitterly. Too many things had happened today, and she was already overwhelmed. The matter of the nude photos became the final straw that completely broke her spirit.

Men would never understand how serious nude photos were for some women, especially the immense pressure it put on a girl who had never been in love and was relatively pure-hearted. A man might just think it was fun, but for some girls who had their nude photos taken, it felt like the sky was falling.

Maybe some women would not care, but Lin Yin was not that kind of woman. She cared a lot about this kind of thing and was also very scared. Furthermore, the angles and poses in the pictures Lü Yang took were very shameful and hard to look at. It seemed like a purposeful, scheming act, making Lin Yin feel too embarrassed to even look at them.

“I am sorry. I wanted to delete them right after I took them, but a lot of things happened later, and I forgot about it. I definitely did not post them online or make copies. If I am lying, may I be struck by lightning.” Lü Yang stood behind Lin Yin, continuously swearing and apologizing.

Just a moment ago, it was Lin Yin apologizing to Lü Yang, but now it was completely reversed…

Men, when you do bad things, it is better to clean up your mess properly.

“Tell me the truth. What was your real purpose for taking these pictures?” Lin Yin absolutely did not believe Lü Yang’s nonsense about ‘skin allergy’ or ‘just looked at them myself.’

“There was no purpose.”

“No purpose for taking so many? Do you believe that?”

“Really no purpose. It was just… I liked looking… so I took more…”

“Liked looking? What is good to look at here? It is disgusting!”

“Uh… You are a woman… You wouldn’t understand…”

“…”

“About this matter, what do you say we should do?” After crying for a long time, Lin Yin finally stopped. She stared straight at Lü Yang. That look in her eyes… how to describe it? It made Lü Yang utterly ashamed.

“Whatever you say we should do, we will do…” Lü Yang lowered his head, not daring to look Lin Yin in the eye. What he did was too ugly. After Lin Yin found out, he felt like dying.

“I want to hear you say it.” Lin Yin asked Lü Yang woodenly.

“You can make me do anything. I know what I did was perverted… too disgusting. It caused you great harm. Whatever punishment you give me, I will accept it.” Lü Yang adopted a completely guilty attitude, ready to accept any punishment.

“I want you to say what we should do…” Lin Yin was clearly not satisfied with Lü Yang’s reply, or perhaps this was not the answer she wanted.

“Then… cut off one of my hands, or gouge out both of my eyes… as long as it makes you feel better…” Lü Yang really did not know what to do under Lin Yin’s questioning.

“What would I do with your hands and eyes?” Lin Yin looked at Lü Yang very sadly, then leaned against the wall again. Although she was not crying, her mood was clearly very bad.

“Then, have the police arrest me… lock me up for a few years… then your anger will go away…”

Lin Yin completely ignored Lü Yang.

“Sigh… I really only looked at them myself. I definitely did not post them online or let anyone else see…” Lü Yang stood behind Lin Yin, feeling very helpless. He really could not think of anything else to make it up to Lin Yin.

“You did this to me… didn’t you think… about taking responsibility for me?” Lin Yin, leaning on the wall, spoke while crying.

“Responsibility…” Lü Yang felt very frightened. These were the two words he was most afraid of hearing now.

It was not that he did not want to take responsibility, but he could not bear this responsibility!

She just told him to take responsibility for Liu Hui. He himself also wanted to take responsibility for Yi Yi and Yi Ya sisters. Even if he wanted to take responsibility for all of them, they would not agree.

Zhou Ling, Zhou Ling, you achieved your goal! One curse completely destroyed my normal life, Lü Yang!

Lin Yin did not speak anymore. She probably sensed Lü Yang’s difficulty and leaned against the wall crying again.

“You just said I should take responsibility for Xiao Hui. I want to take responsibility for you too, but this matter…” Lü Yang had no choice but to bring up Liu Hui. He guessed that given how close Lin Yin and Liu Hui had been these past couple of days, bringing Liu Hui up might be somewhat useful.

Lin Yin fell silent. It seemed that mentioning Liu Hui indeed gave her a headache.

“Yinyin, about Gong Jian’s matter, I let you down. He died to save you. That night…” Seeing that Lin Yin had been silent, Lü Yang prepared to change the subject. Talking about the photos was too embarrassing for him.

“I only ask if you will take responsibility for me.” Lin Yin did not discuss Gong Jian with Lü Yang and brought the topic back to the previous one.

“I let you down. But all of this, how should I explain it to Yi Ya…” Lü Yang muttered quietly.

“Xiao Ya and I grew up together. These past few days I have been with Xiao Hui. I understand both of them quite well. I can see… Xiao Hui truly loves you, to the point of obsession. Xiao Ya is mostly grateful to you. You took three stabs for her, asked for no status, and pretended to be her boyfriend to deal with Yang Lin’s harassment. She probably feels that if she is not with you, she would be very sorry toward you…”

“I think… if you had a girlfriend, Xiao Ya might actually feel relieved… she could go pursue the happiness she wants… You know, her standards have always been very high…” Hearing Lü Yang mention Yi Ya, Lin Yin immediately said a lot to him.

“You don’t want me to be with Xiao Ya… then what about Xiao Hui?” Lü Yang’s face turned somewhat pale as he asked Lin Yin.

“Xiao Hui told me… she really wants to be with me… no… she wants to be with you, to find a place where no one can find us, and just the two of us live happily together…” Lin Yin continued.

“You have been pushing me and Xiao Hui together, and now you want me to take responsibility for you? What exactly do you mean?” Lü Yang became more and more confused.

“What I mean is… we could…” Lin Yin’s mind began to get muddled.

Lü Yang did not speak, waiting for Lin Yin to continue.

“We… we could… the three of us be together…” Lin Yin finally said it, her voice so low only she could hear it.
