Chapter 80 Lin Yao, Your Boyfriend Cheated on You

The day after the military training performance was free of classes, so Lin Yao found herself dragged along to go shopping with Song Li.

Saying it was to accompany Song Li shopping, in reality, it was to buy clothes for her.

Song Li would hold up a dress and drape it over her, then pick another piece of clothing for her to try on.

"This red evening gown has a great design and cut; why don't you try it on, Youyou?"

In a luxury boutique, Song Li had the store manager fetch a red evening gown to drape over Lin Yao.

Seeing that familiar shade of red, Lin Yao felt her face heat up slightly.

"No need, Auntie Song. I won't have any occasion to wear such an evening gown; it's not suitable..." she hurriedly waved her hands.

"How is it not suitable? Your school has a welcome dance every year, which would be perfect for this," Song Li said, turning to Shi Yu. "Right, Shi Yu? Don't you think Youyou would look great in this?"

Shi Yu had come out today to accompany them shopping, dressed more casually than his usual work attire.

He wore a black hoodie and gray pants that hugged his long legs, sitting casually on a sofa. His hair, which he had cut short due to an injury, had grown out a bit.

Soft, wispy black hair fell over his forehead, partially covering his brow, softening his sharp features.

Hearing Song Li's words, Shi Yu lifted his gaze.

"Mm," his voice was calm and clear, "It looks good."

After speaking, his obsidian eyes settled on the girl's slightly flushed face.

His lips twitched slightly, "Lin Yao suits red very well."

"Very beautiful."

His deep, slightly hoarse voice carried no emotion, as if giving a neutral observation.

But Lin Yao's face instantly grew hotter, a blush creeping up from behind her ears, coloring her earlobes.

Suitable, very beautiful...

Auntie Song didn't understand, but Lin Yao seemed to see the look in his eyes last night, after their encounter, when he looked at her in the mirror.

'You're so pretty.'

'So obedient.'

The man had said these words, his fingertips caressing the marks left on her waist, embracing her from behind and kissing her earlobe as she blushed and complained.

His dark eyes fixed on the white stains beneath the hem of her dress, as if ready to devour her.

Shi Yu's words were clearly meant to convey something else.

He was deliberately saying this...

"Right, Youyou's skin is naturally fair, making red even more flattering."

Hearing Shi Yu agree with her, Song Li was pleased.

"Youyou, if you wear this gown to the welcome dance, many boys will fight to ask you to dance. Maybe you'll bring your boyfriend back to meet us the next day," Song Li teased.

Shi Yu's slightly curved lips tightened into a cold expression as Song Li spoke.

Suddenly, he couldn't smile anymore.

"That makes sense." Lin Yao nodded, suddenly becoming very cooperative, trying hard not to laugh. "Then I'll try it on."

Indeed, smiles don't disappear; they just shift.

Letting him bully her like that earlier.

...

Lin Yao wasn't used to being served by the staff in luxury boutiques, insisting on changing by herself.

After a brief moment, Lin Yao changed into the evening gown in the VIP lounge and looked at herself in the mirror, finding that it did indeed look quite nice.

Thinking about how Shi Yu would react when he saw her in the gown, she couldn't help but smile.

She hadn't realized before how amusing it was to see Shi Yu get jealous, his face cold and tight, yet wanting to devour her.

But with Auntie Song around, he couldn't do anything.

The girl couldn't help but curve her eyebrows, suddenly finding it quite entertaining to see Shi Yu frustrated.

Letting him always bully her.

Distracted for a moment, she opened the lounge door without noticing someone outside.

A hand with distinct knuckles, exceptionally handsome, grabbed her wrist.

"Shi Yu, what are you..."

Before she could finish, the man waiting outside scooped her up.

How dare he...

"Auntie Song..."

"My mother is next door," he whispered maliciously in her ear, then pinched her chin and kissed her. "If you want to be discovered, scream louder, baby."

Lin Yao: !!!

She instantly became mute.

Seeing the young girl obediently cower, the coldness in Shi Yu's heart eased slightly.

Shi Yu's angular face exuded an indescribable coldness. His fingertips pinched her cheeks as he kissed her fiercely and roughly.

He locked the door, carried her to the sofa in the lounge, and placed her there.

"Baby, who do you want to wear this dress for?"

"At the welcome dance, how many invitations do you plan to accept?"

"Introducing your boyfriend to my mother... Hmph..." She heard him give a heavy, cold snort, "Lin Yao, unless I'm dead."

It was clear that Shi Yu was very angry, calling her by her name directly.

No matter how much Lin Yao could provoke him, she knew she had to placate him now, humming softly and saying there was no one else.

"There's no one else, just you..."

"The boyfriend is also you..."

"Big Brother Shi Yu..."

Unfortunately, calling him "Big Brother" seemed useless at this point.

Shi Yu's kisses were too fierce, carrying a low, icy pressure.

His breathing grew heavier, and when he leaned over to kiss her on the sofa, Lin Yao could feel him harden, pressing against her.

She couldn't help but tremble all over, hooking her arms around his neck, not daring to make a sound, afraid of provoking him further.

As he kissed her intensely, her round, pink fingertips helplessly dug into his straight, broad shoulders, clinging tightly to him.

After a while, it seemed that Shi Yu had finally released the jealousy pent up in his chest.

He lowered his icy gaze.

On the sofa, the girl with her dark hair and red dress, her deer-like eyes dazed and slightly dazed, her pitiful eyes filled with moisture.

The off-the-shoulder neckline and wavy red dress made her look even more enchantingly beautiful, especially paired with her dazed expression and swollen, crimson lips from his kisses, making her stunningly attractive.

Especially with the well-tailored dress accentuating her swan-like neck and slender waist, the layers of the skirt spread out on the sofa like rippling waves.

The more he looked, the more he felt that the red dress was beautiful yet annoying.

Why does his treasure look so good in everything... His long, pale fingers lifted the layers of her skirt.

Shi Yu's deep voice said, "Calling me 'Big Brother' is useless. Next time, try calling me 'Husband.'"

Lin Yao: "..."

Who gets jealous, bullies her, and still acts so righteous?

Lin Yao, with red eyes, refused to give him any advantage. She wouldn't call him.

"Lin Yao, how's it going? Have you put on the dress?"

At that moment, Song Li's voice came from outside the door.

"It's done... I'll be out in a second." Lin Yao panicked, lifting her skirt to stand up, suddenly remembering Shi Yu was still there.

She turned back, lowering her voice and speaking in a cute, fierce tone, "Wait a bit before you go out. Don't go out so quickly, did you hear me!"

Shi Yu smiled, neither confirming nor denying.

As if the person who had come in with a cold expression and a belly full of anger wasn't him.

Lin Yao glared at him again, confirming he wasn't planning to follow her, then opened the door and closed it immediately, fleeing.

Shi Yu couldn't help but smile.

His treasure probably didn't know that a cheetah on the grasslands is easily persuaded when it's full.

She had already fed him.

...

...

Shopping was very pleasant.

When they parted ways, Song Li held Lin Yao's hand and said that after a few days, when she was fully recovered and no longer needed a wheelchair, she would take Lin Yao shopping again.

This morning, Shi Mo had mentioned to Lin Yao that Song Li's leg was mostly healed; the main issue was psychological. If possible, accompanying Song Li would help her recovery.

So Lin Yao happily agreed.

On the way back, Song Li didn't join them, taking another car instead, and arranged for Shi Yu to drive Lin Yao back to school.

Such a task, Shi Yu naturally wouldn't refuse.

Once they were alone in the car.

The girl, who had been maintaining a polite social distance with Shi Yu, was pulled back into his embrace the next moment.

"I don't need to travel recently. Baby, do you want to move out and live with me?"

On the way back to school, Shi Yu played with her hand while casually asking.

"Huh?" Lin Yao was taken aback and gently shook her head. "No, I get along well with my roommates, and living on campus is convenient. Why would I move out to live with you?"

Shi Yu: "Hmm."

To Lin Yao's surprise, Shi Yu did not react much to her response.

At that moment, she thought Shi Yu had just mentioned it in passing and would forget about it soon.

When Shi Yu dropped her off at the dormitory, he listened to her this time and parked the car a few hundred meters away from the school gate instead of driving directly back.

Moreover, he suggested that since Song Li had bought too many things for her to carry, it would be better to store them at his apartment.

Lin Yao didn't think much of it and only took two pieces of everyday clothing in a separate shopping bag, leaving the rest of the clothes in Shi Yu's car.

A few days later—

The north experienced its first major temperature drop of autumn.

Not expecting such a sudden drop, the clothes Xia Tingnan sent to Lin Yao were still on their way.

Mainly because Song Li told Xia Tingnan that she had already bought plenty of clothes for Lin Yao for the fall and winter transition, so there was no need to worry.

"Achoo—"

Wearing two summer sun-blocking jackets, Lin Yao stood outside Shi Yu's apartment building, almost blown over by the north wind.

Fortunately, after she made the call, she saw a tall figure in a black hoodie emerge from the apartment building not long after.

From a distance, Lin Yao felt that Shi Yu seemed to have grown taller again.

It had only been a few days since they last met; he couldn't still be growing, could he?

"Why didn't you call me to pick you up?" As he approached, he naturally took her hand, frowning slightly when his fingers touched her slightly cold hand.

"Oh, it suddenly got colder, and I came to get some clothes..."

"Let's talk inside."

Without letting Lin Yao stand outside in the wind, Shi Yu brought her into his apartment.

That night, Lin Yao not only didn't take any clothes with her but also ended up staying there herself.

Her second home in the capital was now in Shi Yu's apartment.

Whenever Lin Yao wasn't busy at school and Shi Yu happened to be in the capital without any business trips, she would be picked up and stay overnight at his place.

Gradually, more and more girl's items appeared in the apartment.

...

...

After a while, Lin Yao suddenly moved out of Shi Yu's apartment.

She hadn't stayed there for several consecutive days.

This day, as soon as she returned to the dormitory, she saw Qiao Xin, Jiang Lingling, and Xu Dong'er gathered together, looking at their phones.

Upon seeing her enter, the three quickly put their phones away.

"What's going on?" Lin Yao noticed their odd behavior. "What were you looking at..."

Xu Dong'er looked upset but said nothing.

Qiao Xin and Jiang Lingling exchanged glances, and Qiao Xin spoke first, unable to hold back. "I'll say it... otherwise, I can't let this go. Lin Yao, tell us honestly, has your boyfriend done something to hurt you? Has that jerk cheated on you?"

Jiang Lingling: "Yeah, don't worry. If you tell us, we'll help you seek justice! Such behavior should be exposed. What does he think, that he can toy with girls' feelings just because he's handsome and well-off!"

"Wait, wait..." Lin Yao was confused. "What cheating are you talking about? My boyfriend hasn't..."

Qiao Xin: "Don't cover for him. You went out every day recently, even staying over at his place. This week, you haven't gone out once, and I haven't seen you call him either."

Lin Yao suddenly realized what they misunderstood.

That was because Shi Yu had gone on a business trip to M country, and the time difference meant they hadn't called each other.

And since Shi Yu was abroad, it was more convenient for her to move back to the dormitory rather than stay alone at his place.

Xu Dong'er: "Forget it, just show Lin Yao directly... she'll find out eventually if it gets worse."

Xu Dong'er, unable to bear hiding it any longer, took out the phone they had been looking at earlier.

Lin Yao was thoroughly confused. "Let me see."

She took the phone and saw another hot post on their school forum.

The post read: The real identity of Qi Yanye's girlfriend exposed! It's actually!!!

Wow, it was a rumor about Qi Yanye, with a title that perfectly captured the essence of sensational journalism.

"Wait, a rumor about Qi Yanye!" Lin Yao saw the title and suddenly realized something.

Shi Nian was still abroad, how could Qi Yanye have been caught in a scandal?

"He dared to cheat!"

The young girl instantly exploded, her eyes red with anger, more agitated than if she had caught Shi Yu cheating.

Seeing her so angry, the three people beside her shook their heads silently.

See, see? I told you not to let Lin Yao know; she would be so heartbroken.

But Lin Yao couldn't care less about that. She tapped on the video in the post and saw Qi Yanye hugging a girl at the school gate...
