After getting smashed on the head with a vase, Yan Ziyue drastically changed his previous defiant attitude, instead he tilted his head back, closed his eyes, and stopped moving or resisting entirely.
Seeing this, Yan Shuangyue indeed stopped, gazing at him with a puzzled expression.
"Why don’t you dodge?"
"Because I’m not afraid."
Yan Ziyue said assertively, "I haven’t done anything wrong, so why should I dodge? If you want to hit me, then hit me, but I haven’t done anything wrong, and even if you beat me to death, I’d still be innocent."
Yan Shuangyue was stunned. Her raised right hand slowly lowered, seemingly moved by what Yan Ziyue had just said.
The viewers in the live stream couldn’t help but exclaim aloud when they saw this scene.
"Damn, did that actually work?"
"This kid really understands psychology, impressive!"
"So this is how you handle a yandere, just go along with them, huh? Learned something new, thanks to this video, now I have some experience in dealing with yanderes."
Seeing that Yan Shuangyue hadn’t hit him for a long time, the corners of Yan Ziyue’s mouth slightly curled up, feeling extremely smug inside.
In the past, he always confronted Yan Shuangyue head-on, and he always lost, which really affected his mindset.
But this time was different.
It was the first time Yan Ziyue knew he could handle Yan Shuangyue using this minimal-effort-maximum-effect tactic.
The feeling was exhilarating!
However, just as Yan Ziyue was thinking this, suddenly, Yan Shuangyue backhanded him a fierce slap, completely stunning him.
Yan Ziyue looked at Yan Shuangyue with incredulous eyes.
Wasn’t it said that going along with her would make her feel guilty?
That didn’t happen at all!
Yan Shuangyue sneered, "You say you didn’t do anything wrong, which implies I did?"
"If that’s the case, then I have no choice but to beat you to death."
After saying this, Yan Shuangyue swung another slap at him.
But this time Yan Ziyue couldn’t bear it any longer, quickly dodging and then taking the opportunity to slip away while Yan Shuangyue wasn’t paying attention.
There’s no righteousness in this!
This isn’t what I thought it would be!
Why do I fail when I use psychological tactics, but Wu Bin succeeds?
Yan Ziyue ran out of the villa without looking back, probably never going to understand this question in his lifetime.
After Yan Ziyue had left, Yan Shuangyue returned to Wu Bin’s side, somewhat annoyed and somewhat resigned.
"Brother Wu, I... I’m always like this, you won’t hate me, right?"
"It’s mainly my brother, he just needs to be disciplined. Ever since we were adopted, our foster parents have always treated us well, and life got better, but he changed from how he used to be."
"If I don’t look after him now, I’m really afraid he’ll do something wrong, I have no other choice."
Wu Bin smiled and nodded, showing understanding.
"I understand, it’s just your unique way of expressing sibling affection."
"You’ve always been like this since you were kids, I’ve long been used to it, no need to explain to me."
Seeing that Wu Bin didn’t seem to care much, Yan Shuangyue suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
She smiled and said to Wu Bin, "Brother Wu, you don’t think I’m too rude or too barbaric, do you?"
Wu Bin shook his head and said seriously, "What are you talking about? How could I mind your being barbaric? I think you did the right thing. If your brother doesn’t listen, he needs to be beaten harshly, or else he won’t learn his lesson."
Seeing Wu Bin agree with her approach, Yan Shuangyue’s eyes lit up. She quickly sat down next to Wu Bin and inquired about how he had been over the years.
To the uninitiated, they might even think that these two were actual siblings.
The viewers in the live stream couldn’t help but tease upon witnessing this scene.
"Brother Wu is still too good at this, making up stories effortlessly, and just like that, he sold Yan Ziyue out."
"Can’t help it if not selling out. The only one to blame is Yan Ziyue himself for being unimpressive, having such a beautiful sister and still going out to find masseuses—it serves him right!"
"Man, listen to what you’re saying. That’s his own sister! Are you suggesting you’d have thoughts about your sister too?"
"I guess what he means is, with his sister being so beautiful, her friends must be even prettier. He couldn’t pick a proper one to date among those gorgeous friends, so that’s why Yan Shuangyue despises him so."
No matter what the viewers thought, Yan Ziyue definitely wasn’t favored by Yan Shuangyue.
But Wu Bin was different.
In Yan Shuangyue’s eyes, Wu Bin was simply the perfect man. Whatever Wu Bin said, Yan Shuangyue would listen earnestly and wholeheartedly.
After chatting for a while, Yan Shuangyue suddenly said to Wu Bin, "By the way, Brother Wu, I recently bought a new boat and am planning to go out to sea for fun. Do you want to join us?"
As soon as Wu Bin heard Yan Shuangyue say this, he shuddered.
Go out to sea for fun?
Now, Wu Bin became very cautious whenever he heard about water and the sea because though he didn’t know when he might get sick next, he was certain that his sickness had something to do with water.
So now, Wu Bin tried to stay as far away from pools and the like as possible, even choosing the spot furthest from the pool now.
Facing Yan Shuangyue’s cordial invitation, Wu Bin said, "Let’s skip going out to sea. I’m afraid of water and not good at swimming, so I try to avoid it whenever possible."
Yan Shuangyue’s eyes widened in surprise.
"Brother Wu, you’re afraid of water? But you just said you were undergoing deep diving training. People who are afraid of water can’t undergo deep diving training."
Wu Bin seriously bluffed, "It’s precisely because I’m afraid of water that I’m undergoing deep diving training, so if anything happens one day, I won’t be completely helpless."
Yan Shuangyue opened her mouth but didn’t know how to refute, for Wu Bin’s words sounded oddly reasonable.
Yan Shuangyue wanted to keep Wu Bin there overnight, but just then, Wu Bin’s phone started ringing.
The call was from Xu Wenyao, and Wu Bin didn’t hesitate to answer it.
Xu Wenyao’s voice came quickly from the other end.
"Wu Bin, are you at school now? Here’s the thing, one of our school’s alumni has taken notice of your startup project. He thinks your project has a lot of potential and wants to talk about a partnership.
"If it’s convenient for you, come back for a visit. This alumni is quite wealthy and will definitely be a great help to your startup project."
The moment Wu Bin heard Xu Wenyao say this, he immediately agreed.
"Is that so? No worries, Principal, I’ll be right back. Wait for me, you guys have to wait for me!"
On the other end, Xu Wenyao looked puzzled.
When did this kid become so proactive?
Wu Bin hung up the phone and said to Yan Shuangyue with a look of regret, "You see, I have urgent matters at school and need to go back right away. Let’s talk about going out to sea another time."
