Chapter 174 If it were smoke
This script is wrong! Logically, shouldn't it be Liu Ruyan who goes out to find a substitute? When did she end up being the one with a substitute, and it's even possible that she is the substitute herself? This is completely upside down!

Liu Ruyan: →_→

In the living room, Liu Ruyan glanced at Lin Mo with a cold smile on her lips, as if to say, "You'd better give me a reasonable explanation."

"Well, Lao Mo, you have guests? Well then, we won't bother you any longer, we'll be leaving now!"

Just as the atmosphere in the living room became extremely awkward, the first thought of the two was to slip away. It's better for one person to be embarrassed than for three people to be embarrassed together, right?
At the signal of Li Shiya's series of elbow strikes from behind, Director Wang hurriedly said goodbye, and the two of them took their leave.

"Wait a minute~"

Suddenly, Liu Ruyan's voice came, leaving the two of them frozen in place.

"Little brother~ won't you introduce me to your older sister?" Liu Ruyan looked at Lin Mo and smiled.

Hearing this, Lin Mo closed his eyes, sighed, and said helplessly, "The fat one is called Wang Bo, and the other one who wore the same outfit as you is called Li Chuan. They were my college roommates. He works in self-media and is known in the industry as Li Shiya. He is one of the four leading ladies, just like you."

This is me.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan immediately understood the identities of the two people in front of her. However, when Lin Mo introduced himself, she interrupted him before he could finish, saying, "Hello, my name is Liu Ruyan. You can just call me by my name. Please come in and sit down. My brother, go get some water. We have guests. Why are you making them stand at the door?"

Although she did not reveal her identity, she displayed the demeanor of a hostess perfectly.

Lin Mo opened his mouth as if to say something, but was glared at by Liu Ruyan and obediently went to the refrigerator to get drinks for the two idiots.

Instead, Liu Ruyan warmly welcomed the two of them in.

Whether it was Liu Ruyan's strong aura that caused the two to lose control, or whether these two also wanted to get a closer look at the gossip, in any case, the two obediently walked in, though their expressions showed a hint of embarrassment.

"I've heard Xiao Mo mention you two before, I didn't expect to meet you today. By the way, what's this?" Liu Ruyan took the cold drinks Lin Mo brought and handed them to the two of them, then looked at Li Shiya and asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Director Wang was alright; he simply shifted his body to the side, trying to distance himself from the Sichuan girl, but the Sichuan girl felt awkward.

That's right, his outfit today is typical of Liu Ruyan's style. He wanted to change his style to give his fans some treats and boost his traffic.

Of course, when he was doing his makeup, he also referenced the profile picture of Lin Mo when he was talking to her at the back gate of the school last time.

So, he thought he'd finished his drawing and maybe even tease his good buddy, but little did he know the real deal was there. Now he was doomed. It was like a fake meeting the real deal, or the Six-Eared Macaque encountering the real Great Sage. He was instantly terrified, utterly terrified.

Moreover, listening to the other person's self-introduction, they didn't expect that the other person's name was really Liu Ruyan. Coupled with her outfit and appearance, she really lived up to her name. It turned out that what Lao Mo said back then was true. The two of them thought that Lin Mo was just teasing them.

"I just drew it for fun," the Sichuan girl said dryly. Clearly, she was still quite uncomfortable speaking to strangers with this appearance.

"Oh, it really is a boy!" Liu Ruyan exclaimed in surprise, covering her mouth.

Sichuan girl:.
It has to be said that as long as the Sichuan girl doesn't speak, even if Liu Ruyan were face to face, she wouldn't be able to be sure that this was actually a boy.

In terms of height, Chuanmei is taller than Liu Ruyan. After makeup, Li Shiya is no less beautiful than Liu Ruyan. In addition, Chuanmei specially imitated Liu Ruyan's outfit today. Now that the two are facing each other, they actually feel that it is hard to tell who is better.

The only difference is that the Sichuan girl version of Liu Ruyan has a touch more innocence and vitality, while the original Liu Ruyan has a touch more charm and allure. As for why there is such a difference in style, it's entirely because the Sichuan girl has a flat chest. In his words, a monster is a monster, and a fairy is a fairy.

No matter how powerful a monster is, it can't beat a fairy. After all, a fake is a fake. Even if he makes himself look exactly like Liu Ruyan, people who know him won't admit that he is a girl.

“This is his niche on social media. My roommate is a million-follower influencer, after all,” Lin Mo said with a smile, as he was about to sit down next to the Sichuan girl.

Liu Ruyan, sitting on the other side of the sofa, coughed lightly upon seeing this: "Cough~ Really? That's amazing! It's true that every profession has its top performers."

As she spoke, she subtly reached out and pulled Lin Mo to sit down beside her. Lin Mo glanced at her, but Liu Ruyan didn't let go. Instead, she leaned closer to him and continued, "By the way, what the fairy said earlier was..."

"Ahem, let's not talk about that. By the way, what are you two up to today? Why are you all dressed like that?" Lin Mo asked, skipping over the topic.

After all, he couldn't very well explain to Liu Ruyan what "big spirits and small monsters" meant. Fortunately, Miss Yuan wasn't there, or he would have broken down on the spot.

“We’re planning to go to the art academy next door to shoot some material. We were just wondering if you wanted to come along. You can draw too, so it would be nice to exchange ideas,” Wang Chu explained from the side.

It has to be said that with outsiders around, and with Chuanmei still in the state of Li Shiya, he really spoke very little. He would say as little as possible, probably because he was afraid that he would be too ashamed to face his ancestors in the future!
Lin Mo shook his head after listening: "You guys go ahead, I have some things to do. I need to get them sorted out this afternoon. And you all know I also need to study medical books. I'm going to my teacher's house in a couple of days, and I'm afraid he'll test me."

Oh, and you two, don't forget to set aside time to go together. Your medications are almost finished, aren't they?

This afternoon, he planned to use some shady means to complete the preliminary task of being a professional prostitute for thirty years. It had already been two days, and he was only one-tenth of the way through. He knew he had no choice but to resort to some underhanded methods.

Also, since the group had almost finished their Chinese medicine, they naturally needed to go see Professor Li for a follow-up examination. If he went, Professor Li would naturally check his reading progress, giving him a sudden sense of déjà vu, like having to hand in homework after the summer or winter vacation.

"Okay, in that case, Sichuan girl, the two of us can go."

Director Wang chuckled dryly, and the group chatted for a while longer. Then, at Chuanmei's prompting, Director Wang said his goodbyes: "You go ahead with your work, we have things to do, so we'll be leaving now."

"No rush, it's almost noon. How about this, since this is our first meeting, I'll treat everyone to lunch," Liu Ruyan quickly said.

After all, she didn't want to miss such a good opportunity. Making her presence felt would make her presence felt more legitimate in the future, right?
"No, no, we've already eaten," the Sichuan girl said, waving her hands repeatedly as she stood up.

In front of Liu Ruyan, his current outfit made him feel extremely awkward, as if he had thorns in his back, a fishbone stuck in his throat, or sitting on pins and needles.

He'd be too busy running away to even think about eating! What a load of rubbish! He's not some gluttonous girl.

"Then stay a little longer, it's only been a short while!" Liu Ruyan tried her best to persuade her to stay, acting like a hostess, her demeanor, actions, tone, and behavior all quite natural.

"No, we still need to shoot some footage. You two chat, we'll be going now," the Sichuan girl waved her hand repeatedly.

In the end, even with Liu Ruyan's earnest invitation, the two of them did not stay.

As she escorted the two to the elevator and the doors slowly closed, Liu Ruyan suddenly turned and spoke:
"Tell me, who is the demon!"

Lin Mo:
