At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?

"Okay, Auntie!"

Gu Yu nodded, and the others also stood up.

Hearing Gu Yu address his daughter-in-law as Auntie made Chen Tian even more satisfied.

With this emotional card, he had nailed it.

Stay connected with M-V-L

Just as they were about to follow Jin Hui\'en upstairs, footsteps were heard coming down the stairs again.

Gu Yu looked up and was stunned to see Lin Xinyue, looking completely transformed.

Lin Xinyue had tied her hair into a single ponytail, wore rimless glasses, and was dressed in a golden-red silk shirt dress, casually draped with a brown blazer, looking very much like a Japanese office lady.

Her soft body lines were hidden beneath the nightgown, adding a touch of languor.

"Perfect reproduction!"

Qin Shan, who had seen the anime, couldn\'t help but exclaim.

She looked exactly like Lin from the anime!

No, even prettier!

Although Gu Yu had not seen this anime, he was also captivated by his girlfriend\'s attire.

"How do I look?"

Lin Xinyue walked up to Gu Yu and gently twirled, her cheeks slightly pink.

This was her first attempt at cosplaying!

And with so many people watching!

"Beautiful! Anything you wear looks beautiful!"

Gu Yu nodded vigorously, speaking nothing but the truth.

With Lin Xinyue\'s looks, even if her cosplay wasn\'t accurate, she couldn\'t possibly look bad.

The base is there; she\'d look good in any form!

"Humph! Little Lin is mine now!"

Just as Gu Yu was about to take Lin Xinyue\'s hand, Chen Chuyin, still dressed as the Dragon Maid, suddenly stepped between them.

Hands on her hips, she challenged Gu Yu with a defiant look.

She was actually competing with Gu Yu for Lin Xinyue!

"Uhh..."

Gu Yu was dumbfounded; he never imagined a girl would fight over his girlfriend!

And a minor at that!

He turned to Lin Xinyue, who also looked embarrassed.

Jin Hui\'en saw her daughter acting this way and felt a headache coming on.

Her daughter seemed to always fancy pretty girls and never showed interest in handsome guys.

Some rich young men from the neighborhood would come to play with her daughter, but she always ignored them.

She only got along with girls...

If it wasn\'t for a conversation with Chen Qiao, they would have thought their daughter had orientation issues!

"Chuyin, stop it. Your sister Lin and Brother Gu Yu need to rest!"

Jin Hui\'en took her daughter\'s hand.

But Chen Chuyin was still glaring at Gu Yu as if challenging him to a duel over the princess.

As expected, the next second, Chen Chuyin pointed at Gu Yu and said, "Let\'s see who the rightful companion for Little Lin is!"

Her eyes were determined, yet her tone was quite chuunibyou.

"Uhh..."

Gu Yu was speechless again.

It seemed this young girl was deeply influenced by the anime world!

Fortunately, Lin Xinyue knew how to stand up for her boyfriend. She took Gu Yu\'s hand and said softly to Chen Chuyin,

"I can dress up as Little Lin to play with you, but I belong only to your Brother Gu Yu!"

Her words caught everyone off guard, causing them to unexpectedly eat dog food, although only Qin Shan and Boss Pu were single.

"But! But! I finally found my Little Lin!"

Nobody expected that Chen Chuyin\'s eyes would redden immediately, and she started sobbing softly.

Everyone was taken aback.

Why was the girl crying? It was as if she had just gone through a breakup.

At that, Chen Qiao finally couldn\'t stand it anymore.

Hurriedly, she pulled her own daughter back to their room, fearing she would continue to embarrass herself.

"I\'m so sorry... Chuyin doesn\'t have many friends, and it\'s her first time being so proactive, which shows she really likes you, just her way of expressing it is a bit off," she explained quickly.

Jin Hui\'en hurriedly explained on behalf of her daughter.

Lin Xinyue nodded and smiled in response, "Auntie! I understand. When I was her age, I also imagined that characters from anime could appear in my life."

"Once she passes this age and meets more people, it will naturally get better."

She took the initiative to reassure Chen Chuyin, but there was another thought she didn\'t voice.

That was the fact that Chen Chuyin\'s situation was essentially because Chen Qiao and her husband didn\'t spend enough time with their child.

That\'s why Chen Chuyin lived in a fantasy world of anime.

Although she was clear about it and even called Jin Hui\'en "auntie," given the current state of their relationship, she didn\'t feel it was her place to comment on their family education.

Besides, it was normal for Chen Qiao and her husband to be busy dealing with Shengda\'s affairs and not have time for Chen Chuyin.

She even felt a bit sorry for Chen Chuyin.

When they were changing clothes in the room earlier, she had already noticed that the young girl was severely lacking in care.

This lack of love wasn\'t material but psychological.

In psychology, there is a term called "compensatory behavior," which refers to how people who lacked affection in childhood might transfer their affection to another relationship as they grow.

In such relationships, they often project the affection they lacked onto others.

This can lead to a "contradictory attachment" pattern where, as they grow older, they crave love, seek validation, and yearn to control others...

Clearly, Chen Chuyin had placed her emotional reliance on anime characters, wishing she could be like the Dragon Maid Thor in the anime and receive affection from the protagonist, Little Lin.

Lin Xinyue sighed inwardly.

The reason she knew this so well was that she had been just like Chen Chuyin as a child.

Her parents were busy with work and had no time to tend to her psychological health.

They only knew how to satisfy her material needs.

It took her many years to gradually correct this unhealthy mindset.

But it left her with some residual habits, such as striving to do her very best in everything.

It was the only way to satisfy her desire for recognition.

Gu Yu, perceptive, noticed his girlfriend was a bit off and quietly asked, "What\'s wrong?"

Lin Xinyue turned her face towards him and didn\'t share her inner thoughts.

Instead, she smiled and said, "It\'s nothing; let\'s go upstairs and rest, shall we?"

Gu Yu nodded, leading her upstairs under Jin Hui\'en\'s guidance.

...

"Ah? Are we staying in the same room!?"

Standing at the door, Gu Yu stared blankly at the large bed that had already been made.

Jin Hui\'en looked at him with a puzzled expression, matter-of-factly saying, "Yes? Aren\'t you boyfriend and girlfriend?"

But she immediately understood why Gu Yu was so startled.

The relationship between this young couple hadn\'t progressed that far yet?

Jin Hui\'en inwardly smirked in triumph, "Then let me help you two out!"

She spread her hands, "Can\'t help it! There are only so many rooms in the villa!"

Gu Yu was at a loss for words, just about to suggest sleeping with his roommates.

At that moment, the doors of the surrounding rooms suddenly clicked with the sound of being locked!

These guys, they were all eavesdropping!

"Ah, then let\'s just go ahead! We\'ll sleep together!"

Lin Xinyue, unexpectedly nodding, pulled Gu Yu into the room.

"Click!"

She locked the door behind them.
