Chapter 240: – If it were you, it would be normal for a man to like you, right?
Since eting Lin Jin again, Lin Chen felt that his older brother seed a bit neurotic and always did unexpected things. Like this ti for example, he actually planned to interfere with Yuli chasing Liu Shengqi.
Hmm, this ti it can't be said to be completely unexpected. Lin Chen had long noticed that Liu Shengqi seed to like Lin Jin. Considering Lin Jin's appearance, it was quite normal for him to be liked by another man. But now he's obstructing Yuli, could it an that his older brother actually has feelings for Liu Shengqi too and doesn't want him to be snatched away by Yuli?
What the f*ck? This line of thought was too horrifying.
Lin Jin however had no knowledge of Lin Chen's thoughts and thought that Lin Chen was convinced by his reasoning. He excitedly began to plan their next course of action.
"Yuli will definitely rush to find Liu Shengqi today. You call him and say there's sothing he needs to do" Lin Jin suggested with shining eyes. "This way, when Yuli goes to find Liu Shengqi, she’ll surely be rejected."
"Why does it have to be ?" Liu Shengqi was bewildered for a mont.
"If it's , Liu Shengqi might just co running to our house" Lin Jin rolled his eyes, "I'm not stupid, okay? I can clearly see he's interested in . I'd rather avoid him."
Moreover, if Lin Jin were to personally ask Liu Shengqi out and Yuli were to ask about it, she might think that Lin Jin was trying to steal him from her.
Even if Lin Jin was too dumb to notice Liu Shengqi's feelings for him, it was clearly marked in the goddess cultivation app.
Perhaps because he had been frequently hanging out with Liu Shengqi these days, Liu Shengqi's favorability rating towards him was almost about to break fifty. Originally, Lin Jin thought about having Yuli help block that, but due to offending the black cat, he ended up with this kind of task.
For Lin Jin, it was utterly baffling. He had read so many novels, but this was the first ti he encountered a system that assigned tasks based on its personal likes and dislikes. Even the f*cking task rewards were all stuff stolen by the black cat! Stolen! Lin Jin's so-called brand-na underwear, it was f*cking stolen, his stun gun was also f*cking stolen goods! If this was revealed in the future, would he get beat up by a group of people the black cat had offended?
Such a willful system was truly a first for Lin Jin.
"But I don't have his number" Lin Chen scratched his head. Although he wasn’t entirely clear about Lin Jin’s intentions, he was willing to help him out anyways.
"I'll give it to you" Lin Jin moved closer and gave Liu Shengqi's number to Lin Chen, carefully instructing him, "Tell him you want to talk to him this afternoon and ask him not to go out."
"Mm."
Lin Chen nodded solemnly and soon after, his call connected to Liu Shengqi.
"Hello, is this Liu Shengqi?" Lin Chen was a bit nervous, his voice trembling, "I'm Lin Chen, Lin Jin's younger brother."
"Oh!" Liu Shengqi on the other end suddenly realized, "What's up?"
"I have sothing to talk to you about. Don't go out today, I'll find so ti to co over and chat."
As expected of a person sharing the sa genes as Lin Jin, Lin Chen's bluffing skills were no worse than his. He even improvised and said “It’s about Lin Jin”.
Upon hearing that it was about Lin Jin, Liu Shengqi's mind went blank and he imdiately agreed, "Okay!"
"I'll find so ti to co over. I'm going to have lunch first." Lin Chen gave Lin Jin a thumbs up and then hung up the phone.
"Problem solved." This was the first ti Lin Chen had done sothing like this, but it went surprisingly smoothly.
Lin Jin nodded, very pleased with Lin Chen's performance.
"This way, it won't be so easy for Yuli to ask Liu Shengqi out." Lin Jin continued to ponder over the new task. The task required Yuli's advances towards Liu Shengqi to fail, aning they just had to make sure Liu Shengqi didn't develop any interest in Yuli...
But Yuli was so beautiful, Liu Shengqi would probably not reject her, right? Isn't it said that n are all about appearances?
Eh, he really had no motivation to do these kinds of tasks that go against his will. And the task rewards weren't even that attractive. If the black cat award money, Lin Jin might have been motivated.
But knowing the black cat’s nature... would the reward money also be stolen?
"Lin Jin! Lin Jin!"
Just as he let out a sigh of relief, Yuli ca knocking at the door. Lin Chen imdiately beca tense and looked towards the expressionless Lin Jin in panic.
Lin Jin glanced at the flustered Lin Chen, thinking that although Lin Chen had inherited the bluffing skills, his ntal fortitute was sowhat lacking.
He walked over to the door and opened it. Before him stood an unhappy Yuli, who had already changed into her everyday clothes and tied her hair in a ponytail. She looked youthful and beautiful, far more attractive than Lin Jin when he was dressed as a woman.
"Did you put on makeup?" Lin Jin was sowhat surprised as he moved closer to Yuli. Normally, Yuli's face had so minor pimples, mainly concentrated above her lips and on her chin. But today, her face looked as clean as if it had been retouched with a beauty filter.
"Yeah." Yuli irritably kicked off her shoes and walked in. She sat down on the sofa with a scowl, complaining to Lin Jin who had closed the door and stood beside her. "I just called Liu Shengqi to ask him out, and he flat-out refused without giving a reason. I even did my makeup!"
Lin Jin, who was the culprit behind all this, wiped his forehead, though there was no sweat, and offered a conciliatory smile. "Maybe he really had sothing to do."
"I feel like Liu Shengqi isn't interested in
whatsoever." Yuli pouted, her lips sticking out enough to hang a lantern from. She grumbled, "It feels like Liu Shengqi is only interested in you, even though I'm clearly more attractive than you."
Shouldn't the important part be that I'm a man?
Lin Jin's mouth twitched. He felt like Yuli was missing the point.
"How could he like ?" Lin Jin sat next to Yuli. "I'm a man, and so is he. If he liked , he would be gay."
"Actually, even if he's not gay, it's pretty normal for him to like my brother" Lin Chen interjected.
Before Lin Jin could reply, Yuli nodded vigorously in agreent. "Although you're not as pretty as , Lin Jin, you're still much prettier than the average girl. If one didn't know better, they would think you're a woman."
"But Liu Shengqi knows I'm a man."
Lin Jin's mouth twitched. Even though he knew Liu Shengqi was interested in him, it was a fact he couldn't easily admit, alright?
Once he admitted it, he felt like it would really hurt his pride, especially since he was a grown man!
"I'll try again. If Liu Shengqi really isn't interested in , then so be it" Yuli slumped back against the sofa in resignation.
"Right right, at least you would have tried!" Lin Jin encouraged her.
