After singing the song, Lin Shuyou left the private room and went to the restroom at the end of the hallway. He turned on the faucet and washed his face.

Since childhood, he had lived in a temple.

Although the temple was not isolated from the world, and he attended school normally, his master and grandfather were a bit old-fashioned but not at all feudal. Yet, practicing becoming an official occupied most of his extracurricular time.

It wasn't until he went to college that he had his own freedom, so he was always grateful to Tan Wenbin who took the initiative to hang out with him during military training.

But he had to admit that the things that felt suffocating during his youth might not be about the things themselves but simply a dislike for suffocation. When he finally could be indulgent, he unexpectedly found he didn't quite like such places.

"Click!"

Chen Lin stood behind Lin Shuyou and lit a cigarette.

"You sang well."

"Thank you."

"Yunyun said you've started interning long ago."

"Yes, that's right."

"That shouldn't be the case, I heard those working outside on projects are very familiar with this kind of place."

Lin Shuyou shook his hand: "That's the project manager's privilege and has nothing to do with us."

"Alright, just wait for me a bit." Chen Lin threw her car keys, makeup bag, and cigarette lighter to Lin Shuyou and walked into the restroom.

At this moment, a group of clearly drunk people walked over.

Gold chains, bald heads, scars, large tattoos... very stereotypical.

It's hard to spot these people usually, but in a place like this, it's quite simple.

Lin Shuyou took a few steps back to make way for them.

Chen Lin came out and ran into them.

The scar-faced leader laughed and said, "Hey, this is top-notch quality, come on, have a few drinks in my private room."

As he spoke, he reached out to touch Chen Lin's face.

"Slap!"

Chen Lin slapped his hand away and glared at him.

A bystander advised, "Forget it, not someone working here, made a mistake."

The scar-faced man awkwardly smiled and said nothing, walking into the men's restroom.

Chen Lin walked to the sink to wash her hands, and Lin Shuyou handed her things back to her.

"Did you know, if they kept harassing me, I would suspect you guys set this up beforehand."

Lin Shuyou: "No way."

Chen Lin: "Heroic rescue, right?"

Lin Shuyou smiled and said nothing more.

Chen Lin: "I know you wouldn't do such a thing, but Brother Bin might, he's good at handling things, no wonder Yunyun fell for him so easily."

Lin Shuyou: "Brother Bin is very sentimental."

Chen Lin: "Have you seen anyone say they have no feelings?"

Lin Shuyou immediately thought of someone.

Chen Lin reached out to touch Lin Shuyou's face.

Originally thinking Lin Shuyou would back away, surprisingly, he was thinking about Brother Xiao Yuan at this moment, so he didn't.

Chen Lin paused slightly but still touched him.

Unexpectedly, it felt really good; smooth, firm, and slightly cool.

This made Chen Lin instinctively look at Lin Shuyou's arm, then his chest.

Logically, this area should feel even better.

She retracted her hand and said: "Do you do skincare?"

Lin Shuyou came around: "No, don't do that."

"Then how is this possible, running on construction sites and still having such delicate skin, is it natural beauty?"

Chen Lin had not opened her Yin side, she was as perceptive as a regular person in her Yang side.

Therefore, she did not know that what she just touched was a True Monarch's body.

After the child entered Lin Shuyou's body, it transformed him deeply.

Lin Shuyou: "No idea."

Not interested in her from the start, and after knowing she's an Onmyoji, Lin Shuyou was even less willing to get involved.

For Zhou Yunyun's sake, he entertained her and thought that after she left Nantong, they wouldn't have much contact.

The two returned to the private room, and people were still singing inside.

Chen Lin quickly integrated again, while Lin Shuyou returned to his original corner, stabbed a straw into a can, and quietly drank Jianlibao.

Finally, everyone had their fun.

Tan Wenbin suggested going for a late-night snack, Aunt Liu refused and planned to go back.

Thus the group separated, Yin Meng drove a pickup truck to take others back, while Tan Wenbin took Zhou Yunyun, Chen Lin, and Lin Shuyou to find a snack stall near the karaoke.

The stall owner was a middle-aged couple, and their young daughter was sitting on a chair covered with a blanket, already asleep.

Tan Wenbin ordered several dishes and a bowl of wonton for each person.

Chen Lin: "Is Aunt Liu really a servant at Mr. Li's house?"

Zhou Yunyun: "Yes, Aunt Liu's husband, grandma, and daughter also live at Mr. Li's house. You should have seen them today when you went."

Chen Lin: "The girl on the second-floor terrace? She's so pretty."

Zhou Yunyun nodded: "Yes, that's Alii."

Chen Lin: "I felt Aunt Liu's singing is not like an amateur."

Zhou Yunyun: "I don't know about that, but her singing is really good."

Chen Lin: "Also, the one who sang 'Thousands of Songs,' at first I sat next to her and felt very cold, then I took the chance to go to the restroom and change seats."

Tan Wenbin: "Everyone's constitution is different, some people are naturally cold."

The stir-fried dishes and wonton were served, Chen Lin took a sip of the soup with a spoon and asked: "Where to next?"

Zhou Yunyun: "Linlin, where do you want to go next?"

Chen Lin: "I mean, are you going back to Shigang or would you book a nearby hotel? If it's a hotel, just get me a room too."
