By the ti Xu Lin got ho, it was already 10 o’clock. He realized he had forgotten to call his parents and would probably get scolded.
But just as he opened the door, a lovely girl in an apron ca out.
“Welco back.”
“Oh… I’m back.”
Why does this feel so much like a Japanese drama? However, looking at Ji Yun, who seed like a little wife, Xu Lin indeed felt a sense of hocoming.
“Auntie and Uncle are already asleep, keep your voice down,” Ji Yun said, putting a finger to her lips.
“Okay, they went to bed so early?”
“Yeah, give your clothes… Hey? Did you put on so dication?”
Ji Yun sniffed and detected a strong dicinal sll.
Xu Lin smiled awkwardly. He was afraid his parents would find out, so he changed back into his school uniform, but still got noticed.
“It’s nothing.”
“Hmm?” Ji Yun gave him a look that said she would get angry if he didn’t explain.
“Alright, I was having dinner with Teacher Su today, and when I was heading ho, I caught a thief who had a knife and got scratched.”
“Is it serious?” Ji Yun asked, grabbing his hand with concern, and Xu Lin could feel her hand trembling.
“No big deal. If it were serious, do you think I’d be able to co back on my own? It’s just a scratch, no big problem.”
“Really no big problem?”
“Really, you can ask Officer Qin, she handled the case.” Xu Lin lifted his shirt to show the bandage on his abdon.
“Okay, I’ll believe you for now. Have you eaten?”
“Yeah, I have. Why do you think I haven’t?”
“After all, eting the future in-laws could make you too nervous to eat.”
Hearing Ji Yun also start to sarcastically tease him, Xu Lin laughed. At least it was better than her being silently angry.
“It was just an ordinary al… By the way, I should tell you, Teacher Su is now my girlfriend.”
“You’re kidding, right?”
“How do you know?”
Xu Lin thought he hadn’t told her about this yet. Only Qin Yunhe knew.
“Because I once asked other teachers, and they said Teacher Su had a boyfriend. Teacher Su also ntioned it last ti, so I figured it out.”
“But if you two were really together, Teacher Su wouldn’t have just said that. She would have co down on us hard.”
“…” Xu Lin didn’t expect Ji Yun to deduce so accurately. Is this so kind of passive skill girls have?
He didn’t know what set Teacher Su off today; her emotions just exploded suddenly.
“But do you know why we’re pretending to be a couple?”
“Hmm~ It must be related to Teacher Su being forced to go on blind dates, right?”
“Class monitor Ji, you’re amazing.”
“After all, that’s how you and Teacher Su got involved in the first place.”
“Girls are really scary sotis…”
“Just a bit of observation and you can figure it out. But you can’t generalize this to all girls. We only get serious when necessary.”
“Yes, yes. By the way, I actually have sothing I want to talk to you about.”
“Go ahead.”
Seeing Xu Lin being serious, Ji Yun took off her apron and hung it on the kitchen rack, then sat on the sofa.
“What do you think we should do about Teacher Su’s situation?”
“Teacher Su likes you because you helped her, right?”
“Yes.”
“Now that you’ve t her parents, do you have any thoughts about it?”
Ji Yun kept her eyes on him, and he didn’t dare show any expression, responding calmly.
“Like I said last ti, every man wants a lot of girls to like him, but when it cos to marriage, it’s a different story.”
“That’s scummy behavior.”
“It’s not that, it’s just that I helped solve the issue with Teacher Su for now. But on the other side, there’s a problem with Officer Qin…”
“This morning, all seven of us t. Go on.”
Ji Yun had a knowing look on her face, which made the previously nervous Xu Lin feel more at ease.
“Qin Yunhe and Teacher Su are very close friends, but tonight, because of , it seems Teacher Su and Sister Qin…”
“Got it, that’s your responsibility. You know how they say won bring disaster, but it looks like you’ve reversed that.”
Ji Yun teased, but she couldn’t help thinking about how she would feel if Zhuo Yan also liked Xu Lin, and she suddenly understood a bit.
“So, are you asking for my advice?”
“I’m mainly just informing you, since I need to be honest. You can also tell Superstar Chu and Chu Fengyi.”
“Do you think they would care?”
For so reason, she felt that Sister Chu and Sister Fengyi didn’t seem to care much about many girls liking Xu Lin.
Is it because they’re confident, or sothing else? I don’t get it.
“They don’t care, which is why I can’t hide it.”
“Xu Lin, I think you’ve gained a lot of awareness recently.”
“I’m just reporting as agreed.”
Actually, he felt that now that more people were around and more were expressing their feelings, he had to maintain stability.
He couldn’t just let things drift like before, as that would easily cause problems. By saying half and hiding half, he could better foster their relationships.
“But Xu Lin, I really don’t have a way to help. Besides, why should I help you maintain relationships? It would be better if everyone hated you.”
“But isn’t my dear Ji Yun the cutest little angel? No, according to our saying, the cutest, kindest little fairy.”
Ji Yun looked at Xu Lin’s ingratiating smile and couldn’t help but laugh, pushing his face away as he got closer.
“But I really don’t have a way. This matter can only be resolved between Teacher Su and Miss Qin themselves.”
“You’d better stay out of it for now. You’re like a fuse, once ignited, stay away.”
After hearing Ji Yun say this, Xu Lin nodded. Qin Yunhe had said sothing similar.
“Oh, by the way, why are you at my house? It’s almost 11 o’clock.”
“My dear parents and Aunt Yao went on a trip, said it’s good for their health to relax.
So I ca here to stay. I get a bit scared being alone at ho, and Sister Chu is also tired, so I didn’t want to disturb her rest.
Sigh~ I want to travel too!”
Ji Yun stretched, and Xu Lin noticed she had matured not just ntally.
“How about we go on a trip during winter break?”
“How many people?”
“Just the two of us.”
“No way, I don’t want everyone else to direct their hostility at .”
Although it sounded nice, facing everyone’s hostility was a no-go.
“How about we all go together?”
“We could, but aren’t you afraid we’ll end up fighting while playing?”
“You’re all good girls.”
“Quickly choose one, don’t let the good girls be heartbroken.”
“Then I choose you.”
“Tell that when you truly an it.”
Ji Yun rolled her eyes at him and then walked towards the kitchen.
“Hey, what are you doing?”
“Washing the dishes.”
“Let help.”
“No need, you go rest.”
“Together?”
“Together what?”
“I also want to sleep in the bed~”
Xu Lin really didn’t want to sleep on the sofa anymore, not because he wanted to sleep with the girl.
“Then I’ll sleep on the sofa.”
“How can I let you sleep on the sofa?”
“Well, I can’t sleep with you either.”
“Why not?”
“I said no, so no. Then I’ll go ho.”
“Then go ho.”
“Xu Lin…!” She wanted to shout, but thought of her uncle and aunt, and held back.
“Just kidding, I’ll go take a shower first.”
“Hmph!”
Hearing the bathroom door close, Ji Yun took a deep breath and suddenly thought.
He won’t suddenly attack at night, will he? I must lock the door…
But co to think of it, if any of us in this group initiated a seduction attempt, could Xu Lin really resist?
