Timing it with the barbershop's opening hours, Lin Li set out right on schedule.
Wash and blow-dry.
Still nothing too fancy, just blow-dried to create so layers and texture.
When he checked out and paid by phone, Lin Li saw a ssage Chen Yu Ying had sent a minute ago.
"Chen Yu Ying: I'm downstairs at your place."
That fast.
To keep the freshly done hair from being ssed up by the wind, Lin Li had walked there, so he also walked back, which gave him ti to reply.
"Lin Li: Have you maybe checked what ti it is right now?"
"Chen Yu Ying: Eight thirteen."
"Lin Li: And what ti did we agree to get 'angry'?"
"Chen Yu Ying: Eight thirty."
"Lin Li: So you do know it's eight thirty, huh? Then how are you still not being punctual? Do you have no sense of ti at all? You're already -17 minutes late! *angry* *angry* *angry*"
"Chen Yu Ying: If you keep scolding I'm gonna cry."
"Lin Li: Pardon my French, Yingying-chan, look at the ss this turned into. My second personality just awakened and hijacked my body, that's why the tone got a teensy bit loud. I'm apologizing to you now, squish squish."
"Chen Yu Ying: If you're not done, just take your ti, no need to rush."
"Lin Li: I'll be done in a minute."
"Lin Li: Oh right, there's no one at my place right now. Will you be cold waiting at the door? How about coming to my place and do it do it?"
Wait a sec!
For fuck's sake! This damn input thod!
"Lin Li recalled a ssage."
"Lin Li: Oh right, there's no one at my place right now. Will you be cold waiting at the door? How about coming to my place and sit for a bit?"
"Chen Yu Ying: Pervert."
"Chen Yu Ying: No way, if I go I'll be done for!"
Dammit, she actually saw it!
Though this really was kind of unjust.
"Lin Li: Typo! This ti it was a real typo! The input thod put it as the first option, I just tapped it! Trust ! Yu Ying, you should know, whenever it's actually my own pervy behavior, I never deny it!"
"Lin Li: The pervert is the input thod, not !"
"Lin Li: Heaven above, distinguish loyal from traitor!"
"Chen Yu Ying: So what you an is, when you downloaded this input thod, it was already this pervy?"
"Lin Li: ..."
"Lin Li: Yes. *appraising stare* *utter certainty*"
"Chen Yu Ying: Mhm mhm, okay."
Fuck.
She despises .
But Lin Li imdiately burst out laughing too. He couldn't deny it—this input thod really does follow its owner's habits. Since he was always in the gaming group talking about "coming over to do it do it" with the guys, it was kinda reasonable for it to suggest "do do" as well.
It's all Wang Ze's fault.
"Chen Yu Ying: You finish up, we'll talk when you co down~"
"Lin Li: Okay, go sit in the security booth and wait a bit. Just open the door and go in, no one will care."
Lin Li hadn't told Chen Yu Ying that he was actually walking back from outside.
Because that way, as long as he was careful enough, while Chen Yu Ying's line of sight was fixed on the inside of the complex, he could pull a dishonorable sneak attack like so young punk with no martial ethics.
The plan was viable!
So, once he got close to the entrance of the complex, Lin Li started sneaking around, even poking his head around the corner to check first.
Luckily there weren't many people on the street this early, otherwise so well-aning passerby would definitely have questioned him.
He didn't see Chen Yu Ying in the area by the main gate, so she must've done as he said and gone to sit in the security booth. Lin Li continued creeping closer, ready to spring—
"Boo— where'd you go?"
The scare attack ended prematurely and died mid-air, because when Lin Li crept up to the security booth and leapt, he found it empty.
He looked around but still didn't see any sign of Chen Yu Ying. Just as he pulled out his phone to ask where she was, her call ca in.
"Where are you?" As soon as the call connected, he heard Chen Yu Ying's confused question.
Lin Li blinked. Hearing this, he imdiately understood, and asked in a cool tone:
"Yu Ying, where are you right now?"
"At your place, duh. Why aren't you ho? I checked the bathroom and the balcony, you're nowhere."
The key Wu Min had given Chen Yu Ying had long since been returned, but Lin Li had told her before that he was a "wily rabbit with three burrows," and that he kept spare keys on him, at school, and by his front door. So it wasn't strange that she could just unlock the door and walk in.
Lin Li: "Didn't I tell you? There's no one at my place right now."
Chen Yu Ying: "?"
Chen Yu Ying fell silent. She even double-checked their chat history in disbelief—and sure enough, Lin Li had said it.
But… but…
When a normal person says that, doesn't it usually an "no one else is ho besides "?
Who knew you ant literally no one at ho!
On the other end of the line, a certain soone's suppressed little chuckles started to surface.
Chen Yu Ying: "(•́へ•́╬)!!"
She'd been played! And on purpose!
Chen Yu Ying ground her teeth, though not too hard—she was mostly just embarrassed, because it made her look so dumb.
"So where are you now?"
Because she was all puffed up, Chen Yu Ying's voice ca out very clipped, word by word.
Lin Li finally laughed out loud.
When the "hmph" noises from the other side got louder and louder, he held back and explained:
"I'm at the entrance of the complex. I just ca out of the barbershop and was planning to scare you. Sigh, didn't expect you to outplay . Ying Bao, hiss— I get it now. The reason you went to my place was because you saw right through my sinister sche and did it on purpose, right?
Dammit, I thought you were on the first level, but turns out you were already on the third…"
Chen Yu Ying: "..."
"..."
"I'm giving you a ladder to climb down, why won't you use it?" Seeing that Chen Yu Ying stayed silent for a long ti, Lin Li lowered his voice and asked with concern.
"How is that a ladder, that's a slide! How am I supposed to step on a slide! Hmph! Wait for , I'm coming!"
