My Arms Can Turn into Blades-Chapter 143 - 132: Unusual Behavior

Chen Lusi heard the sound of the door opening and just turned his head to look at the door. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a piece of white paper, which made him turn his head back again.

Above the table, there was indeed a sheet of white paper slowly drifting down.

He reached out and caught the falling paper, then glanced down at it.

Two words were written on it — shoes, hair.

Chen Lusi: "..."

Is this trying to be enigmatic and still want me to fulfill a promise?

Just as Chen Lusi was lost in thought.

The sound of the door closing could be heard.

Then, light footsteps approached, getting closer and finally stopping right by his side.

Chen Lusi snapped out of his daze and looked up slightly. A pair of straight, shapely, snow-white legs entered his view, their lines smooth and elegant, glowing with a faint sheen.

His gaze traveled upward, past the dazzlingly white thighs, the pencil skirt clinging to captivating curves, the simple white blouse, finally settling on Lin Ying’s pure and charming face.

"Shoes? Hair?"

Lin Ying stretched her slender neck to glance at the white paper in Chen Lusi’s hand, her beautiful eyes like lively autumn waters. She curiously asked, "What kind of shoes do you want to see? You don’t expect me to wear high heels at home, do you? That would count as abuse."

"I didn’t write it."

Chen Lusi glanced down at Lin Ying’s small, white, bare feet and placed the white paper on the table.

Lin Ying blinked her eyes: "So do you want to see them or not?"

"..."

Chen Lusi did not respond, instead shifting a bit to the side, then grasping her fair wrist to let her sit down beside him.

Lin Ying didn’t resist and obediently sat down.

Chen Lusi looked at Lin Ying beside him, seated primly, took a deep breath, then moved his gaze away, finally calming down completely.

Whether it was in the Monkey Anomaly Realm or after leaving it, a lot had happened.

Whether it was for survival, out of anger, for one’s beliefs, or to uphold justice...

None of it really mattered afterward.

The most important thing was that I didn’t break my promise.

Even though it was just trying... breaking the promise right after agreeing would have been really disgraceful.

"I’ve heard about the situation."

Lin Ying tidied her skirt, let down her smooth, silky hair, and noticing Chen Lusi’s gaze, softly said, "The group chat exploded, Ji Xin was furious, Shu Li kept apologizing, and the other members were scared silent.

I came back as soon as I could... and found you at home, just as I thought."

"Is that so?"

Chen Lusi glanced at his phone, unaware of any of this.

"Yeah... and very impressive."

Lin Ying smiled gently and added, "To humiliate Mount Tai, Xia Yue, Tang Language, and Yu Zhou face-to-face, making them scramble like dogs, although it doesn’t quite seem like you, I found it very impressive."

"It wasn’t humiliating, just some dissatisfaction."

Chen Lusi denied, "You weren’t there, you don’t know what the situation was like... it was really quite bad."

"But I can imagine, because a you like that is quite rare."

Lin Ying raised her dazzlingly white, long legs, sitting sideways, then directly faced Chen Lusi: "What do you plan to do next?"

"What do you mean?"

Chen Lusi gazed at her delicate, captivating face.

Softly, Lin Ying responded, "You tossed the stone away and said those words, you must have considered your next steps, right?"

"..." Chen Lusi looked at her.

Lin Ying caught his gaze and quickly understood what he was thinking, kindly said, "Because I’m still at the Celestial Strategy Mansion, you’re worried? I’ll listen to you; if you want me to leave, I’ll leave, how about that?"

"..."

Upon hearing her words, Chen Lusi remained silent for a moment: "Then what about the house?"

"...You really are a dummy, no wonder the same trick works on you every time."

Hearing this, Lin Ying bit her lip in silence for a long time, then murmured, "’The two of us sisters can’t live without you,’ ’My grades aren’t good,’ ’You have to help me take care of my sister,’ ’I can’t handle my sister’s tuition alone,’ ’I need to buy a house’... It works every time."

"What?"

Chen Lusi didn’t catch what she said.

Lin Ying slowly lifted her head and asked in return, "Why do you think I agreed to you joining the Celestial Strategy Mansion?"

"..."

Chen Lusi, after hearing that, uncertainly suggested, "To make me more interesting?"

"It’s to make you not live for others."

Lin Ying looked at Chen Lusi, softly saying, "Living for others, relying on such a relationship, is too fragile. I want you to find something you’d like to strive for, interests that captivate you."

"Interests?"

Chen Lusi stared at the ceiling, repeated the words, and then continued to ask, "What about buying a house?"

"..."

Lin Ying sighed deeply, suddenly leaned forward, resting her forehead on Chen Lusi’s shoulder, helplessly said, "You’re such an idiot. In other respects, you’re so smart, but in this respect, you’re so dumb."

"What are you talking about?" Chen Lusi glanced at her head.

Lin Ying rested her forehead on his shoulder for a moment, earnestly said, "As long as you promise me not to leave us sisters... and not to die, whether to buy the house or not doesn’t matter."

"...That was years ago."

Chen Lusi heard the hint of sadness in her tone and hesitantly replied, "It’s been so many years."

Lin Ying said nothing, her forehead still pressed against his shoulder.

The message was clear.

Even after all those years, she still remembered.

The two suddenly fell into silence.

After a long while.

Lin Ying slowly raised her head, no longer mentioning the Celestial Strategy Mansion, but instead asked, "What do you plan to do next?"

Chen Lusi thought for a moment, then replied, "First, I’ll rent a place with two rooms, as it’s too cramped for two people here, then head back home to visit Lin Wan."

"Okay."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ying immediately displayed a radiant smile.

She straightened up slightly, stretching lazily, her exquisite figure fully revealed: "Then let’s first check out an apartment and go see Lin Wan, and decide the rest later."

"Hmm..."

Watching Lin Ying straighten with a stretch, Chen Lusi responded but for some reason felt a bit distracted... along with an unexplainable thrill.

"What are you looking at?"

Lin Ying, sharply aware of Chen Lusi’s gaze, arched her back again, tilting her head to the side.

Chen Lusi watched her arch her back again and, almost involuntarily, reached out, speaking in his usual chatty tone, "Have you gotten..."

Halfway through his sentence.

Chen Lusi suddenly came to his senses, quickly pulling his hand back.

"..."

But the ’supporting’ gesture was already made.

Both of them froze for a moment.

Some redness appeared on Lin Ying’s lovely, enchanting face.

But soon, she recovered, mainly because she didn’t mind.

She looked at Chen Lusi, curiously asked, "Why are you suddenly focusing... on me?"

Chen Lusi said nothing, frowning, shifting his position.

He felt... something odd about himself.

However, Lin Ying, seeing Chen Lusi like this, became even more interested.

She slid her white, long legs, moving closer, looking into Chen Lusi’s face, teasingly asked, "Chen Lusi, are you blushing?"

"..."

Chen Lusi still didn’t respond to her.

"Are you shy?"

Lin Ying moved even closer, resting her white chin on his shoulder, continued pursuing, "What were you just doing?"

At this moment.

The redness in her lovely face had completely vanished.

Chen Lusi: "..."

"Plus, what were you about to say?" Lin Ying pressed her white chin slightly on his shoulder, continued the pursuit.

"Going out to eat."

Suddenly, Chen Lusi stood up, still puzzled over what he just did, intending to calm down for a bit.

"Wait a minute."

Lin Ying immediately reached out to grab his wrist, stopping him from leaving: "I’m not hungry."

"I’m hungry." Chen Lusi wanted to pull her up.

"Then order takeout, I’m not going out, I want to show you my high heels."

Lin Ying got up from the sofa: "I promised you earlier, I have a pair of sparkly white heels I’ve never worn outside."

With that,

She didn’t care whether Chen Lusi agreed or not, directly pulling him towards the room.

Chen Lusi: "..."
