A rollback after death? Then let them offer their loyalty!

Chapter 67 Director Lin has given us a way out!

That afternoon, the notices were posted all over the streets and alleys of Jiangcheng.

At first, no one dared to believe it, until a few bold commoners went over to look, and the literate people read out the contents in trembling voices.

"Abolish... abolish the Ladders Act?! All residents should have equal rationing rights?!"

"The right to medical treatment?! Public rental housing?!"

The crowd erupted, and the news spread like wildfire.

In the slums, people poured out of their shacks, asking each other questions and confirming their identities.

"Really?!"

"A notice posted by the police station! How could it be fake?!"

"Director Lin...Director Lin, you have to give us a way out!"

Someone knelt on the ground, covered their face, and cried.

The child tugged at his mother's clothes: "Mom, will we stop being bullied from now on?"

With tears in her eyes, the mother nodded: "Yes, yes..."

Two days later, the bill was officially implemented.

The first batch of vehicles allocated under the new regulations drove into the slums.

It's no longer a moldy, artificial cake, but real rice, noodles, vegetables, and even a little meat.

A medical team was deployed and set up a temporary clinic in the shantytown.

Construction has begun on public rental housing. Although it is simple, at least it doesn't leak and has clean beds.

The city of Jiangcheng has changed, not overnight, but little by little.

People on the street have smiles on their faces, and children dare to run in the sunshine.

An old man sat in the doorway, basking in the sun, holding a bowl of hot soup in his hands.

Shen Bing stood on the top floor of the police station, looking at the city that was gradually coming back to life.

Lin Yu was standing next to her.

"Did you see that? They're laughing."

"Um."

"I've never seen anyone from Jiangcheng laugh like that before." Shen Bing turned to look at Lin Yu. "Thank you."

Lin Yu didn't say anything, but Shen Bing suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the cheek.

Very light, very fast.

"This is a thank-you gift," she said, blushing.

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow: "That's it?"

"Otherwise what?" Shen Bing glared at him. "What else do you want?"

Lin Yu smiled and said, "I told you I'd treat you to something, do you remember?"

"Hmm? What do you want to eat?"

Lin Yu didn't answer, but looked into the distance.

The outline of the wall was faintly visible in the setting sun.

Three months later, the Abyss Trial.

He will leave Jiangcheng and go to that place with its strict hierarchy.

But at least for now, he has brought light to this city.

Just then, the communicator rang.

Lin Yu took it out and saw that it was a message from Qin Shuang.

[Brother Lin Yu~ I've settled in! My sister suddenly moved back home too, and I'm giving her extra treats every day~]

Her complexion is so rosy now, but she keeps avoiding me, hehe~

When you come, you must come visit me!

Lin Yu put away the communicator, and Shen Bing glanced at him: "Who was it?"

"Qin Shuang".

"Oh," Shen Bing said casually, "What does she want with you?"

"Yes."

Shen Bing bit her lip and didn't ask any more questions.

The two remained silent for a while.

As the sun gradually set, the sky turned orange-red.

Scattered lights illuminated the city, giving it a sense of life despite its still dilapidated state.

"Lin Yu," Shen Bing suddenly spoke.

"Um?"

"The Abyss Trial... I must return."

"Um."

"I'm waiting for you."

Lin Yu turned to look at her. Shen Bing's eyes were bright and resolute in the twilight.

"Okay," he said.

The wind blew across the rooftop, lifting Shen Bing's long hair.

Shen Bing reached out and grasped Lin Yu's hand, their fingers intertwined.

The atmosphere grew increasingly ambiguous before Lin Yu finally answered Shen Bing's question: "Alright, Director, now I'll answer your question about what I'm treating you to."

Shen Bing's heart skipped a beat, and a premonition made her fingertips tingle slightly.

"I have something urgent to attend to," Lin Yu continued, his gaze slowly moving down from her eyes, past her slightly parted lips:

"Could you tie my shoelaces for me?"

Shen Bing was stunned; it definitely wasn't as simple as tying shoelaces.

The rooftop was empty, with the lights of countless homes gradually coming on in the distance, and only the two of them nearby.

The evening breeze carried a coolness, brushing against her burning ears.

"This... is the rooftop." Shen Bing's throat was dry.

"I know," Lin Yu said calmly.

He took half a step forward, instantly closing the distance until his figure completely enveloped Shen Bing: "So, listen to me."

The last two words seemed to carry a faint electric current, coursing through Shen Bing's spine.

Shen Bing figured Lin Yu was about to go for the trial, so fulfilling this request wouldn't be a problem.

Shen Bing gritted her teeth and didn't say another word.

Her body reacted before her mind could process it, and she slowly squatted down.

The long skirt tightened due to this movement, outlining the curves of her hips and legs.

Her knees, encased in stockings, rested on the cool cement floor, the slender heels of her high heels making a soft tapping sound.

Her line of sight dropped sharply, and she could only see Lin Yu's trouser legs and the tips of his shoes.

This angle made her feel a strange vulnerability and surrender.

Shen Bing subconsciously brought her knees together, her hands resting helplessly on her thighs.

Lin Yu placed his hand on her head and gently ruffled her hair, as if soothing some small animal.

Then the hand slid down her hair to the back of her neck, its warm fingers pressing gently against her sensitive skin.

Shen Bing closed her eyes.

She could hear her own rapid heartbeat and feel the subtle air currents that Lin Yu created as he approached.

A feeling mixed with shame and a dark expectation swelled in my chest.

The next touch was direct and clear.

Shen Bing's body stiffened abruptly, and a short, muffled groan escaped her throat.

She instinctively tried to turn her head, but the hand on the back of her neck held her steady.

My breathing became erratic, accompanied by an uncontrollable tremor.

At first, she was completely at a loss, and the unfamiliar touch made her instinctively resist.

The tip of the tongue pushes back, and the throat tightens.

The sudden stimulation caused tears to well up in my eyes.

Shen Bing gripped Lin Yuyi's clothes tightly with both hands, the fabric crumpling between her fingers.

Lin Yu didn't move, but remained in that position, patiently waiting.

...

Half an hour later, Lin Yu removed his hand from the back of Shen Bing's neck and instead cupped her cheeks.

Shen Bing obediently tilted her head back, her eyes wet and glistening with scattered light in the dim light.

She looked at Lin Yu, her lips slightly parted, her face streaked with undried tears and other wetness.

Lin Yu wiped the corner of her mouth with his thumb: "Don't spit dirt."

Shen Bing swallowed hard and obediently did as instructed.

Then, as if she had exhausted all her strength, she pressed her forehead against Lin Yu's leg and gasped for breath.

Lin Yu reached out and helped Shen Bing up.

Shen Bing's legs felt weak, and she staggered before Lin Yu helped her stand up.

She lowered her head, not daring to look at Lin Yu. She simply raised her hand to wipe her face haphazardly, and then went to tidy her messy hair and clothes.

"Let's go, downstairs." Lin Yu's tone returned to its usual calm as he turned and headed towards the stairwell.

Shen Bing stood there for a few seconds, took a few deep breaths of the cool night breeze, and then took her still somewhat weak steps to follow behind him.

Footsteps echoed in the empty stairwell.

One in front of the other.

Neither of them spoke again, but they drew closer to each other.

Shen Bing bit her lower lip in frustration, feeling that she was gradually becoming unable to escape Lin Yu's "clutches".

Hand, pawn, mouth... what's next?

Shen Bing dared not think too much, and her steps became increasingly unsteady.
