Tycoon Stepdad's Popularity (Part-1)

91 (ii)

"Hahaha, Shen Feng, you were tricked. Your portion is exactly the same as everyone else's."

"I see helplessness on Lin Yi's face."

"I'm dying of laughter. Lin Yi is treating Shen Feng like a little kid."

"The interaction between these two is really amusing."

Seeing that Shen Feng had calmed down, Lin Yi picked up his suitcase and led Huo Mianmian back to the room they had stayed in before.

Before their arrival, the production team had already opened the house to let some fresh air in.

Now, warm sunlight streamed into the room, filling it with a pleasant scent of sunshine, making everyone feel very comfortable.

One significant advantage of this wooden house was that it never felt stuffy; it was well-ventilated all around.

After entering, Lin Yi poured himself a cup of tea.

This light tea had a faint, refreshing aroma that blended perfectly with the water, making it hard to stop drinking.

At this moment, Zhuang Che rushed into the room, seeking help: "Lin Yi, save me!"

Lin Yi took a sip of tea calmly: "What's wrong?"

Zhuang Che, panic-stricken, said: "I just saw a venomous spider at my door. It's so scary! Can you help me?"

He looked genuinely terrified, almost on the verge of tears, his eyes filled with moisture.

Lin Yi: "...A venomous spider? Are you sure?"

Zhuang Che nodded: "Yes! Right at my door, it's huge!!"

Hearing this, Lin Yi told Huo Mianmian to stay put and then walked out of the house toward Zhuang Che's wooden cabin.

Zhuang Che, like a frightened little animal, cautiously followed Lin Yi, hands clasped together.

As they approached his house, he tried to grab Lin Yi's sleeve.

Lin Yi: "..."

He avoided Zhuang Che's hand and said: "If you're scared, stay here. I'll go check it out myself."

Zhuang Che, on the verge of tears, hesitated for a moment and then said: "I... I'll go with you."

Lin Yi replied: "Fine, but don't touch me."

He wasn't used to close physical contact with others.

Zhuang Che, hearing this, didn't dare to grab Lin Yi anymore and followed him weakly and helplessly.

While sobbing, he asked Lin Yi: "A-Are you not scared?"

Lin Yi replied indifferently: "Why should I be? If it's really a venomous spider, we'll just kill it."

"Ah, who understands? Lin Yi really gives a sense of security."

"Indeed, if I were Zhuang Che, I'd stick to Lin Yi all day too."

Upon hearing Lin Yi's words, Zhuang Che turned pale: "K-Kill it?! What if its spirit comes back to take revenge?!!"

"..."

Lin Yi glanced at him: "It will. Then you can wait for its revenge."

Zhuang Che nearly turned white: "W-Will you protect me?"

Lin Yi replied coldly: "Of course not."

Zhuang Che: "W-Why not?"

Lin Yi: "Because I've never seen a spider eat a person, and I really want to see it."
