Chapter 208: The Ultimate Gunfight Skill is About Gun Control and Recoil Handling!
The car door was locked, nobody was getting off now.
Xia Changyu had no idea that the door of the KTV room had been blocked by a box of beer, which no one was even sure they would drink. Now, it felt like being trapped in a walled city, the people inside couldn’t get out, and the people outside couldn’t come in.
But this wasn’t going to be a free treat. At least, not yet.
Lin Yibai wasn’t in a hurry. After all, the one feeling anxious would definitely be her annoying love rival.
Why did she book a small room?
Because the smaller the space, the more pressure it created. But also, the mood would become much more intense.
Inside the room were just two double sofas. This kind of room was usually for three or four people.
Lin Yibai gently put the microphone on the glass table with a soft “clink.” Then she pointed to the snacks on the table and said,
“Are you hungry? Want to eat something first? I didn’t order a lot, but it should be enough for now!”
Xia Changyu didn’t notice anything strange at the moment. He looked at the table, just some cold snacks like peanuts, dried squid, sunflower seeds, and lemon chicken feet, typical KTV food.
He didn’t say no because he didn’t want to eat, but because he simply wasn’t hungry.
He shook his head, shrugged, and said, “No thanks, my stomach’s really not hungry.”
More than food, what Xia Changyu was curious about was why the girl in front of him was acting so different today. What was she really planning?
He didn’t mind if Lin Yibai showed some typical girl behavior. He was just really curious.
Why, though? What for?
On the other side, Lin Yibai smiled sweetly. Alright then, if you won’t take the offer nicely, I’ll just go with the hard way.
She said, “Then... how about singing a song?”
Xia Changyu waved his hand and replied politely, “Singing? I’m not really good at it.”
Lin Yibai smiled again, “Me neither!”
Xia Changyu disagreed, “That’s not true. I’ve heard your singing before. It’s beautiful, like an angel.”
But Lin Yibai cut him off and asked again, “So, are you going to sing or not?”
“Better not.”
Sure enough, refusing the easy way again. Lin Yibai had thought about starting with a soft intro, maybe setting the mood first or something.
But now it seemed...
Maybe that wasn’t necessary at all.
Fine then! No more warm-up, Lin Yibai went straight to the point, “Then how about dancing?”
Xia Changyu looked even more awkward, “I mean, I can dance a little, but it’s not really something you do in a KTV place.”
Lin Yibai snorted lightly, “I mean would you watch?”
Xia Changyu was confused, “Watch... what?”
Lin Yibai said, “If I dance?”
Xia Changyu paused, then answered seriously, “Watch!”
What kind of joke would it be to not watch if the girl wanted to dance? Of course he was going to watch.
Lin Yibai gave a sly smile of victory. Alright, now that he agreed, the rest was no longer up to him!
This wasn’t a sheep walking into a tiger’s mouth. This time, the tiger was walking into the sheep’s trap.
Right now, Lin Yibai was just one step away from fully transforming into a girl again. Probably after a few rounds of energetic dancing, she’d have enough to transform, and once that happened, there were a lot more things she could do.
She went to the song machine and picked a few hot dance tracks. As the fiery intro started playing, she said,
“I recently learned a new dance from South Korea. Why don’t you be the judge and tell me how I did?”
What? A K-pop style hot dance?
Everyone knows that kind of dancing from Korea is all about sexy body movements and gestures made to look like choreography. Xia Changyu froze for a second, then quickly realized what was happening.
He instinctively wanted to stop her. It really wasn’t necessary to do that kind of bold and sexy dance…
But deep inside, he hesitated. He couldn’t move forward or back.
What did he really want? His “little brother” had already given him the answer.
Luckily, or maybe not, he wasn’t sure if it was his imagination. But the lights in the room seemed especially dim now. At least, it helped hide his awkward expression and reactions.
Because there was no way he wanted Lin Yibai to know that while he was watching her dance, some parts of his body were already on the edge of exploding.
"Thank goodness."
"So lucky!!"
That’s what Xia Changyu thought, until he slowly started to realize something was wrong.
The girl who was dancing was sweeping her eyes across the room, and every time she looked in a certain direction, it felt like there was a meaning behind it.
The direction she was looking at was…
Wait. Oh no, oh no, oh no!!
Xia Changyu’s back was covered in cold sweat.
He swore he would never let the girl see him in an embarrassing state. He had to control himself, he must control his instincts.
Inside his heart, he was shouting, ‘Control it! I have to control it! I need to stop it before it explodes!’
But have you ever seen a lit fuse? Once it's lit, it’s going to explode.
The only thing that could save him now…
Was the ultimate gunfighting skill.
People say that only a master of this skill can hold back a gun that’s already been loaded and ready to fire.
On the other side, Lin Yibai was feeling a little upset. Do you even know what a K-pop style hot dance is?
She was grabbing her chest, twisting her waist, raising her hips, moving her body in all kinds of sexy ways, and this stupid love rival of hers… had no reaction at all?!
Wasn’t she supposed to be stunning and beautiful?
So why hadn’t his “gun” gone off yet?
Was he actually resisting her beauty?!
How annoying, how dare he!
She gritted her teeth and took a deep breath, then told herself, ‘It’s okay… this is just part of me completing my transformation into a real girl. Whether he explodes or not doesn’t really matter.’
In Lin Yibai’s view, her transformation level had reached 99%.
And with the last move of her dance, it finally hit 100%, perfect!
Her entire appearance… Was now fully that of a girl.
Even her voice became softer and more charming as she asked, “Changyu, how was my dancing?”
Xia Changyu was currently stuck in a kind of “grenade” situation. Had it exploded? Or not yet?
Maybe his gun control skills were truly top-level. Or maybe he was just one second away from losing it.
Hearing her voice, he let out a hot breath and said, “It was… really good.”
Lin Yibai was happy at first, but then sighed and asked, “But… why does it feel like your attention wasn’t really on me?”
What a joke.
Xia Changyu felt like he was that guy carrying bricks. When he holds the bricks, he can’t love the goddess. But if he drops the bricks, he can’t support the goddess.
Dear Lin Baiyi,
It’s not that I don’t want to focus on you.
It’s just that if I do, my gun will explode!
I’m stuck in a prisoner’s dilemma!
Prisoner’s dilemma? Well then, as the beautiful warden, Lin Yibai handed down her judgment.
“I see now. If you’re not into hot dancing, then maybe you like something more traditional, right?”
Xia Changyu: “!!”
Lin Yibai walked back to the song machine and picked a classic old song by Hu Yanbin called "Beautiful Women". That wouldn’t be such a big deal…
But if it’s paired with her elegant and mesmerizing dancing—
For the first time, Xia Changyu felt something strange. He never thought music could feel so seductive, all because of her dance.
Her movements were like a graceful swan or a dragon swimming in the clouds. There was a soft and hidden beauty in her style, But at the same time, it was like a powerful poison that was eating away at all of Xia Changyu’s self-control.
Just like the lyrics of the song say, ‘She is a poison that runs through my body.’
But Xia Changyu loved that poison. Even his breathing now sounded hot and heavy.
“Ahh… huff~~”
The seductive music entered his ears. The seductive dance entered his body. And the seductive girl… entered his heart.
His eyes started to blur. His thoughts began to drift.
He couldn’t help but wonder, ‘What year is it again?’
He had already… fallen.
