My own roommate wants to hit on my brother-in-law! Save me, this is so dramatic! Xu Ruyan wished she could just slap herself on the forehead and pass out.

"What's wrong? What's with that expression? Hey, you, what are you looking at? Don't tell me you've fallen for someone else already?"

Yan Mingyu, still clueless about the situation, deliberately struck a coquettish pose and threw what she considered a very alluring wink at Chu Tian.

"Yan Mingyu!"

Xu Ruyan couldn't hold back any longer. It was already embarrassing enough, but who knew she could pull off something even more outrageous. If she keeps this up, how will I ever face anyone? My sister will personally strangle me!

"Yan, it's okay. Don't worry, I've got this. I've seen plenty of youngsters like him; I assure you I'll handle it properly for you."

She put on a self-righteous air, glanced at Chu Tian from the corner of her eye, and then, shifting slightly, whispered, "Yan, be careful not to wrinkle my clothes."

"Hey! Stand still, will you!"

Xu Ruyan couldn't pretend any longer. She looked at Yan Mingyu furiously, her face flushed with embarrassment, and said through clenched teeth, "Stop it! This... this is my brother-in-law..."

"What the—?!"

Yan Mingyu's eyes nearly popped out of her head. In fact, Chu Tian, standing to the side, had already seen one of her colored contact lenses starting to slip. Apparently used to it, Yan Mingyu quickly blinked and sucked it back into place. Yes, sucked it back in. That sight would leave him dumbfounded for a whole year.

Yan Mingyu, however, was completely oblivious to this, her entire attention fixed on Xu Ruyan.

"Did you just say he's your brother-in-law? You're not kidding me, right?"

Even though she deliberately lowered her voice, with only four people present, everyone heard it, intended or not.

"Yes... Stop making a scene, it's so embarrassing..."

Xu Ruyan looked like she was on the verge of tears. She didn't even dare to lift her head, burying it like an ostrich and pouting.

It was beyond embarrassing. A thought even flashed through Yan Mingyu's mind: Maybe I should just go lie down on the road and let a car run me over, right? This is mortifying! I was actually flirting with my classmate's brother-in-law just now? Oh my god... This incident is going to be an embarrassing moment I'll never live down, isn't it? As this realization hit her, she felt the world go dark. No, her vision was blacking out.

When she came back to her senses, all her earlier exuberance had vanished. She looked completely dazed, clearly shaken by the ordeal.

Chu Tian, however, was unaware of her rich inner drama. He wasn't familiar with these girls anyway, so he just chalked it up to them being rather spirited youngsters. Taking something out of the car, Chu Tian handed it to Xu Ruyan and asked, seemingly offhandedly, "Don't you two have an acting class this afternoon?"

Xu Ruyan opened her mouth to answer but suddenly remembered something. Her silence, however, didn't deter the still dazed Yan Mingyu beside her.

She subconsciously nodded and said nonchalantly, "This afternoon is Basic Acting Theory. We had our practical acting class this morning."

At that moment, Yan Mingyu still hadn't realized anything was wrong. As for Xu Ruyan's earlier warnings, after what had just happened, she'd forgotten them completely.

"Heh~ Impressive, Xu Ruyan. You've hidden it quite well."

Chu Tian looked at Xu Ruyan with a smirk, curious to see how she would respond.

"Um, well... we signed up for an interest class. After all, being this good-looking, we figured we could at least earn some extra cash, right? HAHA!"

"Keep spinning your tales. How about I call your sister?"

"Hey, don't! Please, absolutely not!"

Seeing Chu Tian take out his phone, Xu Ruyan immediately caved.

"Fine, since you already know, then that's that. I'm actually attending film school, not the University of Finance and Economics..." Xu Ruyan said this while secretly gauging Chu Tian's expression.

What could Chu Tian do? Frankly, this matter had nothing to do with him. But now he faced a dilemma: should he tell Xu Qingqiu or not? If he told her, his little sister-in-law would probably be in deep trouble. If he didn't, he'd become an accomplice.

"You're really something. I remember your sister posted a photo of your acceptance letter on her WeChat Moments, right? How did you pull that off?"

"That was borrowed from my classmate..."

"But what about the name on it?"

"I made a color photocopy and just changed the name..."

'Just changed the name,' she said, as if it were nothing! Truth be told, this Xu Ruyan really knew how to cause a stir. Bringing home an acceptance letter for the University of Finance and Economics, only to turn around and enroll in film school.

"You're quite impressive, managing to keep this a secret for two years. No wonder you always told your sister not to visit you."
