Earlier, that knocking sound... was truly emitted from the laptop screen?

"What's wrong?" Li Luyao stared at him strangely.

Lin Wu didn't say anything. He carefully swept his gaze through all corners of the room; there was no place for anyone to hide.

He then quickly walked to the wardrobe. He drew in a deep breath and abruptly opened it. There was also nothing in there.

Just now, he was the only one in the room!

Lin Wu glanced at the empty wardrobe as his heart involuntarily sank. Could it be that this world truly had those types of existences?

"What are you looking for?"

Li Luyao discovered that Lin Wu suddenly stopped moving and was also ignoring her. She couldn't help but furrowed her brows as she shook her head. "Lin Wu, since you are ignoring me, forget it then. You can slowly look for whatever you want to find. I'll be returning first."

She cast another glance at the laptop and frowned. After that, she turned and was preparing to return to her room.

"Eh, wait a minute!"

Just when she took two steps, she heard Lin Wu suddenly calling her.

"What?" Li Luyao turned and glanced at Lin Wu. "I thought you want to ignore me?"

"Cough. How can that be?"

Lin Wu purposely coughed. He walked to her and forcefully squeezed out a smile. "Didn't you say you want to watch the world cup finals with me? Just so coincidentally, I'm feeling very bored alone. Let's watch it together."

"Ah?" Li Luyao felt a little dazed. She thought that she had heard wrongly. "What are you saying?"

Lin Wu's expression didn't change. "Let's watch the finals together. Quickly."

"Are you for real?" Li Luyao was surprised and shocked.

"How can this be false?" Lin Wu pretended that nothing was wrong and shrugged.

Li Luyao cast a strange glance at him. She couldn't help but ask, "However, why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Lin Wu laughed dryly. "Nothing much, I think that it's very pitiful because a young lady like you has no one to accompany you. So I decided to show some sympathy."

"Oh is that so?" Li Luyao's expression was full of doubts.

"Why are you asking so many questions?" Lin Wu's expression turned cold. He decided to use the tactic of retreating in the guise of an advance. "If you are unwilling, just forget it then. It's up to you."

"No, I'm willing to." Li Luyao hurriedly shook her head and took the initiative to walk back in. "Let's watch together then."

Lin Wu silently heaved a sigh of relief but shook his head again. "Let's go to your room."

"Why?" Li Luyao questioned.

"Are you the tv series 'ten thousand whys'? Why do you have so many questions?" Lin Wu looked at her speechlessly. He then intentionally added, "Are you afraid that I would molest you?"

Li Luyao frowned and calmly spoke, "There's nothing to be afraid of. If you dare to molest me, that will be great. If you refuse to marry me after that, you can just prepare to go to jail."

"..."

Lin Wu didn't know what to reply. He could only shake his head. "Let's go to your room. Don't worry, I'm a gentleman."

Li Luyao giggled, but she added a sentence silently in her heart. "You are at most a loser who l.u.s.ts but has no guts to act upon it."

However, she didn't say this out loud. If not, what would happen if this fellow changed his mind?

Lin Wu also didn't care whether Li Luyao believed him or not. He quickly walked out of the room. Before he closed the door, he cast another glance into the room, particularly on the laptop that was placed on the computer desk.

The laptop screen was black. It quietly sat on the desk, as though everything that had happened earlier was just an illusion.

"Kacha~"

After the door closed, just a few seconds later, the laptop screen suddenly brightened.

A completely pale hand slowly stretched out from within the screen.

After that, it only used its index finger's fingertip to lightly and politely knock on the screen --

"Thud, thud, thud."

It was as though it was asking: Is there someone around?

…

…

"Kacha~"

When they had entered Li Luyao's room, Lin Wu instantly closed and locked the door. Only then did he manage to feel more at ease.

Compared to being together with that thing in his room, he might as well be together with Li Luyao.

At the very least, Li Luyao was someone alive and was also a beauty.

"Why did you lock the door?" Li Luyao stared at him strangely.

She wasn't worried that Lin Wu might do something to her. She just felt that starting from earlier, Lin Wu had been acting a little strange. It was like he was trying to hide from something.

"Nothing much." Lin Wu glanced at her and casually spoke, "I'm preparing to molest you, so I lock the door in case you are trying to flee."

"Oh, please help yourself to your heart's content then. Just remember to prepare your household register and go with me to the bureau of civil affairs tomorrow." Li Luyao's expression didn't change. She then continued to ask, "Do you want to drink anything?"

"Thanks, but I'm not thirsty." Lin Wu immediately shook his head.

Although he would rather be together with Li Luyao, he still wouldn't touch the food and drinks that she prepared. What if she tried to drug him?

What if he saw a patch of blood on the bedsheet after he woke up, and he became a father several months later?

"The world cup finals have already started for quite a while. Go and turn on the television. I'll go and change my clothes in the bathroom first." Li Luyao casually spoke and took a white-colored nightgown that was already lying on the bed, preparing to enter the bathroom.

Lin Wu started as he called out, "Wait a minute, come back right now."

"What?" Li Luyao stared at him with a puzzled look.

"Nothing."

Lin Wu rolled his eyes and asked her in a bad mood, "Why are you changing to your nightgown?"

This girl couldn't possibly be pranking him, right? Could she be pretending to change clothes in the bathroom while secretly calling the police?

At that time, when the police rushed into the room and discovered her with her disheveled hair and untidy clothes, it would be useless no matter what he said.

"Didn't you want to watch the world cup?"

Li Luyao cast a strange glance at him. She pointed to the television across the bed. "I can't possibly wear this and sit on the bed, right? Also, it's already 11+ p.m, and it's almost time to sleep. Can't I change into my nightgown?"

Lin Wu speechlessly surveyed her and spoke in a puzzled manner, "Are you not in short sleeves and short pants? How would it be inconvenient for you to sleep in these?"

"How can I sleep with what I wear to go out?" Li Luyao was astonished.

"Why not? Every time I stay in a hotel, I don't change my clothes and simply sleep in them." Lin Wu shrugged.

Li Luyao's beautiful eyes widened. She stared at Lin Wu in disbelief. "Why are you lying on the bed while wearing your jeans?"

"You girls always have so many issues," Lin Wu interjected. He waved his hands. "Just forget about changing. I'm still in the room, so what are you sleeping for? Can you have some consciousness about your own safety, please? Do you know what's the difference between guys and girls?"

"But...I'm your wife. Moreover, we are about to be married," Li Luyao spoke somewhat helplessly.

Lin Wu looked at her. "You are really self-confident. Now I'm feeling strange. Is it because you feel that my heart will be moved just because you are beautiful and elegant, in addition to having a good family background and even taking the initiative to pursue me?"

Li Luyao was shocked. "I don't mean it this way…"

Even before waiting for her to finish, Lin Wu laughed. "In that case, you have misjudged me. To a poor author who has broken away from society for a year, I will accept anyone as long as they are female!"

"I really...eh?"

Li Luyao was involuntarily dumbstruck. Why was the plot developing in a way different from what she was imagining?

"So, don't try to tempt me again." Lin Wu drew in a deep breath. "Right now, you are still pretending to want to marry me and allow me to do anything to you? That's equivalent to you playing in the ocean looking for sharks during your menstrual period. Are you not afraid that you might really be eaten?"

Naturally, his judgment was still pretty high. He was only saying this to frighten Li Luyao.

Li Luyao weakly spoke, "I...I'm really your wife…"

"Yes, yes, yes." Lin Wu helplessly spread his hands open. He gave in as he sighed. "What's your aim? You can tell me directly. Please stop playing with me. If you are doing this to prank me, can I trouble you to change your target? Why don't I introduce my readers to you?"

He silently added another sentence in his heart: "Especially the reader who knocked on my laptop screen."

"I…"

Just when Li Luyao wanted to open her mouth to speak, she discovered that no matter how she explained, this fellow wouldn't believe her.

She could only sigh and shook her head. "Forget it, let's just watch the finals. When the score is out, you will understand if I'm a reincarnator or not."
