I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 457. The Truth Game
After the two arrived at Xu Qingfan's room, they locked the door from the inside.

Wu Lingyu picked up the remote and turned on the air conditioner. Zhang Yiyi sat in the computer chair, clasping her hands together and waiting.

After Xiaoyu was seated on the stool next to her, Zhang Yiyi pursed her lips and spoke first, "Is there anything you want to ask?"

"what?"

"Then I'll tell you, and you'll listen."

"Hmm." Wu Lingyu opened and closed her mouth, but then fell silent.

Zhang Yi observed Xiaoyu for a few seconds, and only after confirming that her emotions were normal did she say, "I like my brother."

Wu Lingyu subconsciously widened her eyes, not expecting that Zhang Yiyi would be so unethical, immediately launching a close-range attack!
She was about to speak, but she held back and let Yi Yi speak first.

Zhang Yi observed Wu Lingyu for a moment longer before continuing, "I'm done speaking."

[no.]
"???"

"cough cough cough cough"

Wu Lingyu nearly choked to death by her unexpected turn of events. She had originally thought that Zhang Yiyi would truthfully explain her situation with Fan Ge and then beg her to keep it a secret so that she could take advantage of the situation and make her own demands!

As a result, this is it?
"Xiaoyu, are you alright?" Zhang Yiyi, who had been sitting with her legs crossed, became anxious and concerned when she saw Xiaoyu coughing for a while. She got up and patted her back.

"No, cough, it's nothing." Wu Lingyu waved her hand to thank her for her kindness, forgetting all the words she had originally prepared.

Zhang Yiyi ran to the small refrigerator and got her a bottle of juice. Only after Xiaoyu finally stopped coughing did she unscrew the cap and hand it to her.

"Thank you." Wu Lingyu took it but only took a small bite.

Neither of them spoke again, and they just stared at each other, creating a quiet yet awkward atmosphere in the room.

It was Zhang Yiyi who broke the atmosphere in the room first, saying, "Xiaoyu, you can ask me anything you want to ask."

Wu Lingyu paused for a moment, then put down her drink and imitated Zhang Yiyi across from her, putting her hands together and crossing her legs.

She adjusted her facial expression and replied, "I like Fan Ge too."

"Yes, I know." Zhang Yi nodded, indicating that she already knew.

"."

Wu Lingyu suddenly had the idea of ​​making a run for her life, because this Yi Yi was really not easy to deal with!
Shouldn't he be the one to confront and demand an explanation?
[Is there a mistake with this script?!]
Come again!

“I know, I know, I also know that Yiyi likes Brother Fan,” Wu Lingyu stated.

Zhang Yi blinked, thinking: This is an interesting way of putting it.

"But I only have one brother!" She straightened her back and crossed her arms over her chest.

Wu Lingyu remained silent for a few seconds. Just when Zhang Yiyi thought she was about to give up, Xiaoyu suddenly looked at her with sharp eyes and asked abruptly, "What about Wan Ning?"

It's common knowledge that Lin Wanning likes Xu Qingfan.

Zhang Yiyi clearly hadn't expected Xiaoyu to ask such a question, and this time she was the one who remained silent.

“Wan Ning also likes Fan Ge,” Wu Lingyu pressed her advantage, continuing.

"Yi Yi and Fan Ge are together now, what about Wan Ning?"

Zhang Yiyi's mouth was slightly open, but she couldn't say a word.

She underestimated Xiaoyu's fighting ability!

"Won't Wan Ning be angry if he finds out about Yi Yi and Fan Ge's behavior?" Wu Lingyu continued to vent, her words carrying a hint of personal grudge.

[Let Yi Yi shut me up with those words!] she thought to herself.

Honesty is the defining characteristic of Xiaoyu, but there's a condition—it doesn't involve Xu Qingfan.

Zhang Yiyi was a little powerless to resist, thinking to herself: What did I do to provoke her just now!

She began to feel conflicted: Should she tell Xiaoyu about my secret with Wan Ning?
What exactly does Xiaoyu mean by mentioning Wanning? Is she trying to trick me into revealing information? Or does Xiaoyu genuinely want to join us?
Zhang Yi asked himself three questions in a row, looking at the person in front of him with a slightly suspicious gaze.

Wu Lingyu smiled and calmly met his gaze. Everything was in her rhythm, and she felt great, very good!
[If I admit that she knows about Wan Ning, what should I say next?]
Should we betray Brother Fan?
If conditions permit, Wu Lingyu would naturally like to join the Wan Ning family.

After all, compared to fighting alone, the feeling of finding an organization is like a beacon in the darkness, like Che Guevara returning to prison or Andy escaping from his cage!
However, whether they were forced to join as prisoners of war or as allies in a cooperative and mutually beneficial relationship is still a matter of debate.

Seeing Zhang Yiyi remain silent for a long time, Wu Lingyu continued, "Yiyi, have you thought about how heartbroken Wanning will be when he finds out? Or do you want to keep this from Wanning and everyone else forever?!"

Xiaoyu's expression at this moment was three parts anger, four parts self-mockery, and five parts tears. She had obviously watched a lot of Stephen Chow's self-cultivation as an actor, and it was worth it!

"I...I'm sorry." Zhang Yiyi lowered her head in shame, straightened her posture, and looked like a well-behaved person admitting her mistake and accepting punishment.

The main reason was that she felt guilty. She felt that secretly doing that with Fan Ge was unfair to Xiao Yu and even more unfair to everyone.

Wu Lingyu knew when to stop. To be honest, she was quite uneasy at the moment. After all, her questioning of Zhang Yiyi was like the pot calling the kettle black; she was still the one who was a hundred times worse!
Wu Lingyu pushed off the ground with both feet, and the chair moved closer to Zhang Yiyi as the wheels moved.

She held the girl's hands and said with motherly care, "It's alright, what happened and what shouldn't have happened have already happened."

"It's no use blaming yourself now. Let's talk about the future."

Zhang Yi looked up at Xiaoyu, and for a moment, she really hoped that Xiaoyu could join them!
"Xiaoyu, you say it."

Wu Lingyu gently patted Yi Yi's hand, knowing the answer already, and asked, "Yi Yi and Brother Fan, how far have things progressed?"

The charade must continue; if she were to accidentally expose her relationship with Fan Ge, Xiao Yu's status would instantly plummet from ally to prisoner of war.

Zhang Yiyi blushed, remembering how Xiaoyu had seen her naked when she hid under the bed that morning and at noon.

"It's not what you're thinking, Xiaoyu!" She was afraid that Wu Lingyu would misunderstand, so she quickly whispered in her ear.

Although Wu Lingyu already knew, she still cooperated by opening her mouth wide, wider, and wider still.

"That's all." Zhang Yi lowered her head and tucked her ears, revealing everything except for the things she did in a moment of impulse last night.

Wu Lingyu was a little unsure of how to handle her emotions at that moment, after all, that scoundrel usually treated her like a doormat and told her everything.

So now, when I hear Zhang Yiyi recount it again, I feel a little itchy inside, but not much anger.

Seeing that Zhang Yiyi was just looking down, she decided to remain silent as well.

"Cough, Xiaoyu?" Zhang Yiyi glanced up at Wu Lingyu, who hadn't responded for a long time.

"Okay, I understand." Wu Lingyu nodded, her face expressionless.

"Xiaoyu, are you angry?" Zhang Yi asked cautiously.

"No," Wu Lingyu shook her head.

Xiaoyu wasn't lying; she really wasn't angry!
Not to mention that Yi Yi spent less money than she did, the fact that both of them had experience with men outside of bed made Wu Lingyu feel an immediate sense of kinship.

But Zhang Yiyi wasn't a mind reader for Xiaoyu, so he obviously couldn't understand her thoughts.

She grasped Xiaoyu's hand tightly and said anxiously, "Xiaoyu, please don't be angry, okay? I... I'll tell you a secret!"

She has decided to tell Wu Lingyu her little secret with Wan Ning.

It would be best to let Xiaoyu join their big family, so that it would be the Wan Ning-Xiaoyu family.

Upon hearing this, Wu Lingyu indeed raised her head and asked, "What?"

"Let me ask Xiaoyu a question first." Zhang Yiyi didn't rush to answer; she still needed to confirm something.

"What?" Wu Lingyu gave the same answer.

"If your brother has someone he likes, will Xiaoyu back down?" Zhang Yiyi asked.

Wu Lingyu's heart skipped a beat. She had a premonition and guessed what Yi Yi wanted to say.

"will not."

She looked at Zhang Yiyi with a determined gaze.

"I will never marry anyone but Brother Fan!" Xiaoyu's eyes shone brightly. Zhang Yiyi breathed a slight sigh of relief. She was afraid that Xiaoyu would say something about her backing down, which would make her look like Ellie the Clown.

“But there’s only one brother, and he can only marry one person. What if that person isn’t Xiaoyu?” Zhang Yiyi held her breath.

Wu Lingyu suddenly felt a bit short of breath, like a fish out of water.

After a moment of silence.

She said, "I don't know."

"But I will always stay by Fan Ge's side, forever and ever!"

Perhaps this was Xiaoyu's true inner thought, and every word she uttered was deeply moving.

Zhang Yiyi also fell silent for a moment.

"I understand." She looked at Wu Lingyu.

"Hmm." Wu Lingyu was also looking at her.

The two remained locked in this tacit stalemate for thirty seconds, one minute, two minutes.

"Xiaoyu!"

"I will never leave my brother, never!"

Zhang Yiyi suddenly spoke up loudly.

"So, let's cooperate?" Zhang Yiyi extended her hand.

A smile appeared on Wu Lingyu's face, and the melting snow seemed to have melted into her eyes.

Zhang Yiyi smiled too, two dimples appearing on her face, her smile bright and cheerful, like the wind whispering across the mountains and fields.

“Okay, let’s cooperate!” Wu Lingyu grasped the girl’s hand.

Their smiles grew brighter and brighter; this handshake marked the beginning of a change in the Shura Field.

Operation Hunt for the Mortals is a success!
Wu Lingyu released her hand, looked into her eyes, and said, "What secret is it? You can tell me now, right?"

Zhang Yiyi sat up obediently again, but when she faced Wu Lingyu, she suddenly found herself unable to speak. After all, this was just too much bullying for Xiaoyu! (Just her own opinion)

"The cough is about my brother and me. Wan Ning, Wan Ning, she actually knew all along."

She discreetly observed Wu Lingyu's expression, and after confirming that there was no change, she continued, "I actually know about Wan Ning and my brother's relationship. Wan Ning started working with them a little earlier than me."

[really!]
Wu Lingyu had already guessed it in her heart, so her expression didn't change much.

"So Wan Ning won't be angry, Xiao Yu, now you know, you won't be angry, right?" Zhang Yiyi asked weakly, whether intentionally or not.

"Snapped!"

"what!"

Wu Lingyu slapped her thigh and stood up abruptly, saying indignantly, "How could Brother Fan do this!"

"Waaah~ Xiaoyu, don't panic." Zhang Yiyi rubbed her thigh, which was red from being hit!
"Fan Ge is a womanizer!" Wu Lingyu glanced at Zhang Yiyi secretly and continued to say angrily.

"No, that's not true. That cute senior, and the other girls, my brother didn't even glance at them. We're different!" Zhang Yiyi pulled her back to sit down. She had to defend the scoundrel even after being hit.

"Hmm." Wu Lingyu was afraid she wouldn't be able to hold it in, so she lowered her head and pretended to be angry.

"Because my brother and I are childhood sweethearts, we grew up together since we were little, that's why my brother is a womanizer."

"Just like Xiaoyu doesn't want to leave her brother, I don't want to leave my brother either. If we put ourselves in his shoes, doesn't my brother also not want to leave us?"

Zhang Yiyi comforted him, clearly annoyed.

"Is that so?" Wu Lingyu raised her eyes with a dim look, much like Little Red Riding Hood being bewitched by the Big Bad Wolf.

Zhang Yiyi's heart leaped with joy at the sight of her eyes, and she continued to coax (not really) clarify, "Yes, even though my brother is a womanizer, he's definitely only womanizing towards us!"

Zhang Yiyi's lips twitched. She felt embarrassed saying these words, but she still rubbed Xiaoyu's head and tried to persuade her.

Wu Lingyu is actually more accepting of this viewpoint than she is, because she has always felt that way.

Xiaoyu's eyes lit up again. She held Zhang Yiyi's hand and said, "Because...because we were together in elementary school, in middle school, and now in high school."

"So of course we should stay together in the future!"

Wu Lingyu felt like she had said this somewhere before; it sounded too familiar.

"Of course!" Zhang Yiyi suddenly felt that her leg no longer hurt and grasped Xiaoyu's hand in return.

"Ah."

"Ok!"

"Xiaoyu!"

"all!"

At this moment, Zhang Yiyi and Wu Lingyu finally reached a consensus.

The scene was so harmonious; if that scoundrel were here, he'd probably be utterly astonished.

After everything was laid out, the two chatted much more relaxed afterwards.

"Xiaoyu, let me tell you something. Your brother is really naughty. Find a time when it's just the two of you and take the initiative once. After that, you won't have to take the initiative for anything else."

Zhang Yiyi thought that Wu Lingyu and Xu Qingfan had made no progress, so he began to impart his experience to his senior.

"Oh, wouldn't that be too... too much?" Wu Lingyu was still pretending.

Zhang Yi didn't think much of it, after all, Xiaoyu was usually shy.

She whispered in the other person's ear, "Xiaoyu, do it like this..."

"understand?"

"Xiaoyu?"

"Xiaoxiao, that's it!" Wu Lingyu blushed deeply.

This time it wasn't an act, because she genuinely shared valuable information!

Zhang Yiyi's ears turned a little red. After all, she only knew the theoretical steps of many things. She dared to say it, but she didn't know if Wu Lingyu would dare to learn it.

After a brief silence, Zhang Yiyi suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh right, there's one more thing!"

"Hmm?" Wu Lingyu looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"I must never tell my brother about the relationship between me, Xiaoyu, and Wanning!"

"I've been thinking lately, is it because I'm too proactive that my brother has become such a womanizer?"

Zhang Yiyi eloquently explained her Pandora's box perspective.

Wu Lingyu almost burst out laughing after hearing this. Laughing to death, that scoundrel of a man was already a honeycomb briquette!
[If Yi-yi knew, I would have known everything long ago.]
Wu Lingyu dared not think further, but she agreed with Zhang Yiyi's point of view that one should not be too easily satisfied by a scoundrel.

So Xiaoyu decided to keep it a secret from both sides for as long as possible, and ideally for a lifetime.

"Okay, I understand!" she replied, bowing her head.

With a heavy stone lowered, Zhang Yiyi felt incredibly relaxed.

She reviewed the conversation and, after confirming that there were no problems, stood up and invited, "Hehe, let's go down first, we still need to talk to Wan Ning!"

"Ok!"
