The End Times as a Song

Chapter 342: Building Up Anticipation

Huan Rugo was both afraid and curious about the stunning beauty before her. After a struggle with her thoughts, she couldn't help but blurt out a question to Lin Yinfa.

"Lin Yin, may I ask you a question?"

"..."

Lin Yin didn't speak, but smiled slightly, picked up his wine glass, and gently swirled it. After a moment, he slowly turned his head and cast his gaze upon Xiang Huanruge.

"What do you want to ask...?"

Lin Yin looked at Huan Rugo, and the moment their eyes met, Huan Rugo didn't know what was wrong with her; she felt guilty and afraid. She looked away, turned her head, bent her knees, and curled up, hugging Lin Yin's knees. For a moment, she couldn't say anything.

"..."

"What...? You don't want to ask anymore...?"

Huan Rugo's hesitant expression, as if she wanted to ask but dared not, piqued Lin Yin's interest, and he teased her with great enthusiasm.

"No, no...!"

Huan Rugo quickly offered an explanation, her words lacking in spirit.

"If you're so eager to know, why didn't you ask?"

Lin Yin continued to provoke Huan Ruge with cold words.

"I...! Actually, I just want to know if we're inside the barrier you set up right now?"

When Huan Rugo was cornered, she stammered out what was on her mind.

"Want to know...?"

Lin Yin looked somber and asked Huan Ruge in return.

"Uh-huh……!"

Huan Rugo nodded obediently.

"It is indeed inside my barrier!"

Lin Yin poured himself another glass of wine, drank it all in one gulp, and answered Huan Rugo's question with absolute certainty.

"Ah...! Why did you do this? I thought we were still in the maze of the desolate fog."

Lin Yin's answer took Huan Rugo by surprise. Huan Rugo was shocked; she simply couldn't understand how someone could trap themselves in a barrier.

"There's no reason...! Are you scared?"

"No, do I look scared? Besides, Huang Yunlan is just a weasel, what's there to be afraid of?"

"It doesn't look like it...!"

"exactly!"

"Hmph...he does seem drunk!"

Lin Yin snorted coldly and teased Huan Rugo.

"Drunk? What do you mean by that?"

Huan Rugo blinked and looked at Lin Yin with a puzzled expression.

"You're not drunk! Then you heard everything just now?"

Lin Yin smiled and looked at Huan Rugo.

"Yes! I heard you!"

Huan Rugo swallowed hard, her face flushed.

"You heard everything...?"

Lin Yin smiled wickedly, gazing thoughtfully at Huan Ruge.

"That's it!"

Huan Rugo turned her head awkwardly and rubbed her sleeves.

"Hmph...then why are you asking me...?"

Lin Yin snorted coldly and said sarcastically.

"I just don't understand why you would set up a barrier to trap yourself? In this world, there are actually people who like to trap themselves...! That's a bit unreasonable!"

Huan Rugo was displeased upon hearing this, and in her haste, she blurted out everything she should and shouldn't have said.

"..."

Lin Yin seemed to have some unspeakable secret, and remained silent for a long time before responding to Huan Rugo's words with a profound meaning.

"You'll understand later...?"

"In the future...? What will I understand...?"

Huan Rugo was bewildered, but still asked in confusion.

"Yes! I understand what you should understand!"

"What do you mean 'later'? What can't be said now! You're such a strange person, always keeping people in suspense. It's really too much."

"..."
