Ruan Yaoyao's face was full of confusion, and her big eyes like black gemstones blinked, like the twinkling stars in the night sky.

She tilted her head slightly, her hair swaying gently, as if she was trying to understand the meaning of Lin Yi's words.

She looked extremely adorable, with her rosy face and slightly furrowed brows. Once one's eyes fell on her, one could not look away. A strong urge welled up in one's heart, making one want to reach out and touch her head.

This is what Lin Yi thought and did.

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, outlining a gentle smile, and he waved to Ruan Yaoyao.

Ruan Yaoyao understood, put down the rag in her hand, and walked over with light steps.

Her steps were light and agile, like a dancing butterfly.

Lin Yi put down the gel pen, and the pen rolled gently on the table, as if it was also sighing at this heartwarming scene.

He stretched out his broad palm and gently stroked Ruan Yaoyao's little head.

Ruan Yaoyao's hair was soft and smooth, sliding gently across Lin Yi's fingertips.

"Um……"

The latter narrowed his eyes slightly, like a cute kitten, and made a comfortable sound with great enjoyment.

The voice was soft and sweet, like a breeze blowing through the heart, making people feel happy.

Lin Yi picked her up gently, his movements as gentle as if he was handling a precious piece of porcelain.

He carefully placed Ruan Yaoyao on his strong and muscular thighs.

Then, Lin Yi stretched out his slender fingers, pointed at the computer screen that was emitting a faint light, and began to analyze the current grouping situation in detail.

"A total of 256 players have made it to the official competition stage, but as of now, the first round of competition has come to an end, and only 128 players are able to move on."

As expected, the fierce competition became more intense and cruel.

A quick glance reveals that nearly half of the remaining players are on the highly anticipated list of seeded players.

If they want to advance to the final 16, they must win the next three tough games in a row.

At this moment, Ruan Yaoyao was like a docile and cute little kitten, quietly nestling in Lin Yi's warm and broad arms.

She leaned lightly on Lin Yi's chest and could clearly hear his steady and strong heartbeat, the rhythm of which seemed like a soothing melody.

Her hair was slightly scattered, and a few strands gently brushed against Lin Yi's arm with a hint of tenderness.

Ruan Yaoyao placed her hands naturally in front of her body, her body slightly curled up, enjoying the warmth and tranquility to the fullest.

Her cheeks were lightly flushed and her eyes were full of happiness and satisfaction.

It seemed that in this embrace, she found the peace and beauty of the whole world, and all her worries and fatigue disappeared at this moment.

She was like a drifting boat that finally found a harbor to dock at. She snuggled up to it tightly and was unwilling to leave.

Ruan Yaoyao listened attentively to his accurate interpretation and in-depth analysis of the situation; her focused expression was moving.

She slightly raised her pretty and charming face, and gazed at Lin Yi's profile with clear lines and contours as if with water.

His profile looked particularly handsome under the dim light, and there seemed to be stars twinkling in the depths of his eyes, shining brightly.

She still loved the wonderful feeling of being tightly embraced by Lin Yi, as if the whole world had become extremely peaceful and secure.

Here, she can rely on the man in front of her without any scruples and trust every word he says wholeheartedly.

All along, no matter how difficult and dangerous the challenges or how complicated the situations were, all the competitions that Ruan Yaoyao has participated in so far have benefited from the tips and careful guidance that Lin Yi silently gave her behind the scenes.

Suddenly, Ruan Yaoyao slightly frowned her pretty crescent-shaped eyebrows, stared at one of the columns of groups with her bright eyes, and cried out softly.

"Wait, Lin Yi, your opponent..."

"Yeah, that's right."

Lin Yi looked somewhat helpless and nodded slightly.

There was a hint of complexity in his expression, showing both his emotion about facing an acquaintance and his seriousness and earnestness towards the competition.

"It's Moriyu, but there's nothing strange about it. There are fewer and fewer contestants left, so the probability of running into someone you know is getting higher and higher."

Lin Yi said softly, with a hint of understanding in his tone.

"So what should you do?"

Ruan Yaoyao looked at Lin Yi worriedly, her eyes full of concern.

Her brows were still slightly furrowed, as if she was thinking of a strategy for Lin Yi.

Lin Yi shrugged his shoulders, a determined look on his face.

"I can't help it. This is how the game works. I have to fight even if my opponent is a friend. I won't give up the victory."

"That's it..."

Ruan Yaoyao nodded blankly and fell into deep thought. She began to think about what she would do if she and Lin Yi became rivals.

After all, as remaining contestants, it is not impossible for them to be assigned to the same group as opponents.

Just like Senyu and Tao Mengli, Ye Feng and Su Su, weren’t they also grouped together as rivals and had to become rivals in their lovers?

The former is that both sides try their best to determine the winner so as to leave no regrets.

As for the latter, Su Su chose to abstain in order to prevent Ye Feng's tactics from being revealed.

What would I do if my opponent was Lin Yi?

Ruan Yaoyao's heart was filled with entanglement and confusion. She didn't want to confront Lin Yi in the competition, but she also didn't want to give up the opportunity to compete easily.

She fell into deep thought, as if looking for a solution that would satisfy both parties.

Just when Ruan Yaoyao was lost in thought, Lin Yi suddenly asked.

His voice broke the silence in the room and brought Ruan Yaoyao back from her thoughts.

"Yaoyao, can you help contact my father-in-law? I have something to ask him."

"what?"

Hearing this, Ruan Yaoyao couldn't help but let out a soft cry and raised her head with a suspicious look on her face.

Her big eyes, as bright as stars, were full of doubts, like two crystal clear gems, emitting charming luster.

And that little mouth, as tender as a cherry, was slightly open, like a blooming flower, delicate and charming.

"Don't you have Dad's contact information?"

Ruan Yaoyao blinked and asked softly, with a hint of confusion and surprise in her tone.

Lin Yi had a bitter face and took out his cell phone from his pocket listlessly, like a deflated ball.

He sighed and slid his fingers back and forth on the screen of his mobile phone, as if trying to find something important.

Finally, he stopped and handed the phone to Ruan Yaoyao.

It turned out that this was a WeChat chat interface, and the other party's avatar was actually a selfie of Ruan Tianli.

In the photo, Ruan Tianli was smiling and looked very "friendly", but at the moment it gave Lin Yi a headache.

Lin Yi’s note to Ruan Tianli was even more direct and clear - "old father-in-law".

In the chat history, Lin Yi just sent a message: "Are you there?"

Then he quickly added, "I want to ask you something."

However, unexpectedly, when he was about to send the second message, he found that he could not send it successfully no matter what.

Instead, a shocking red exclamation mark appeared next to this message!

Seeing this, Lin Yi's face became even uglier, and his brows were tightly furrowed together, forming a deep "川" character.

His eyes revealed endless helplessness and confusion, as if he was in a state of confusion.

If he really starts with "Are you there?", he must be a clown!
