A few minutes later, Xu Lin ca out of the office. Inside the school, apart from the boarding students, most had already left.
He hurried out of the school gate and saw Ji Yun and Bai Xiaoxiao waiting for him at the bus stop.
“Sorry, I’m late.”
“It’s okay. What did the horoom teacher want with you?”
“Ji Yun, I’ve run into a bit of trouble.”
“What kind of trouble?”
Ji Yun thought for a mont. Xu Lin hadn’t done anything strange or made any mistakes recently, and his English grades had even improved.
“The horoom teacher found out about and Teacher Su.”
“What!? How?”
“Su Qingwan, that fool, posted a photo of on her Monts.”
“Though it wasn’t particularly obvious it was , the horoom teacher knows so well that he figured it out.”
“So what did the teacher say?”
“I explained to him that Teacher Su is using as a cover. We can’t let him misunderstand and think we’re really dating; it would affect her job.”
“Hmm, what now?”
“He promised to keep it a secret but wants to check with Teacher Su. He didn’t believe alone. Also, I heard a little story about our horoom teacher.”
“What?” Ji Yun was curious. Stories about their usually stern horoom teacher would definitely be interesting.
“The bus is here. Let’s get on and go to Bai’s house.”
“Huh? Weren’t we going to the shop?”
“Let’s check on your dad first.” Xu Lin wanted to see how effective the healing orb was.
“I forgot to tell you, my dad can already walk with a cane. We went to the hospital yesterday, and they said he’s recovering exceptionally well. They’ve never seen such rapid improvent.”
“Really? That’s great.”
“By the way, Xu Lin, you should let uncle rest for a while longer. The shop can wait.”
Ji Yun glanced at Bai Xiaoxiao and made a point.
Xu Lin nodded.
They had planned to open the shop this week, but the renovations were delayed, and they needed ti for promotion. Next week would be better.
“Okay.”
“No, no. When I told my dad at noon that the shop might be done today, he was so excited that he wanted to go. You should discuss it with him.”
Although she wanted her dad to rest more, he was clearly restless at ho. As soon as he could walk, he was out and about chatting with the neighbors.
“Alright.”
The three got on the bus, which was already full. They had to stand, and Xu Lin positioned himself to shield the two girls.
Recently, there had been an incident of groping on the bus in Linshui, and he didn’t want Ji Yun and Bai Xiaoxiao to be harassed.
So bystanders might think it’s no big deal, just a touch, but it’s different when it’s your own family.
If anyone touched Ji Yun or Bai Xiaoxiao, he would cut off their fingers, even if it ant breaking the law!
It counts as self-defense to protect your family and friends from harm.
As soon as they got on, Xu Lin surrounded Ji Yun and Bai Xiaoxiao, drawing attention from the other passengers.
A few guys gave him a thumbs-up and mouthed, “Bro, you’re aweso.”
Ji Yun, having been close to Xu Lin several tis, didn’t feel strange at all. Bai Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, felt a bit embarrassed.
But when the bus started moving and her body swayed forward, she found that her head rested comfortably on Xu Lin’s shoulder, so she just leaned on him.
“By the way, you haven’t told the story about the horoom teacher.”
“Oh right, I almost forgot. It happened when I was with Teacher Su going to her house for dinner. We planned to buy sothing on the way and ran into the horoom teacher, who was also shopping.”
“We heard him on the phone that afternoon saying he had a blind date that evening, didn’t we? I actually saw him on that date. They were arguing when I saw them.”
“I asked him about it later and found out the argunt wasn’t really about anything serious. It was because his date suggested going to sing karaoke, but he refused.”
“Really? Our horoom teacher isn’t exactly the type who enjoys entertainnt.”
“No, it’s actually because he can’t sing. His date wasn’t even that upset about it. The funny part is, he suggested going to an internet café to play gas instead… It was ridiculous.”
“I don’t think it’s that bad… Maybe our horoom teacher just lacks experience.”
“But that’s not the most ridiculous part. He lined up to buy her a lemon tea, then told her he doesn’t like lemon tea.”
“He said he likes roasted chicken racks and asked her to buy one for him. He even ntioned that he lined up for ten minutes to get her drink, so she should get him the chicken rack since there was no line.”
“His date got angry and left right away. The date ended just like that.”
After hearing this, Ji Yun, who initially thought nothing was wrong, was also stunned. The horoom teacher’s actions were indeed over the top.
Although logically, buying sothing for soone and asking them to buy sothing in return isn’t a big deal, saying it like that would obviously upset the other person.
“Our horoom teacher is almost thirty and is being pressured by his family to get married. Given his personality, he really needs to find soone with a compatible temperant.”
“Let’s wish him luck.” Ji Yun sincerely hoped that her teacher could find happiness.
“By the way, Sister Bai, did you get your phone number sorted out?”
“Yes, thanks to Teacher Chu and Ji Yun’s help. I really appreciate it.”
“No problem. Xu Lin, make sure you add Sister Bai’s number.”
Ji Yun rembered ntioning it to Chu Fengyi one day, and the next day the SIM card was delivered to her.
About ten minutes later, Xu Lin and the others arrived at Bai Xiaoxiao’s house. As soon as they entered, they saw Father Bai sitting in the yard, playing with a kitten, while the dog looked on jealously at Chenpi.
That day, Xu Lin had asked Ji Yun to take the kitten back, but he was delayed and didn’t contact her, so she temporarily left Chenpi at Sister Bai’s house.
Later, with classes, writing novels, and shooting videos, he didn’t have ti to take the little ancestor ho.
But judging by the current situation, the dog at Bai Xiaoxiao’s house no longer held as much hostility towards Chenpi, so it wasn’t a bad place for the kitten to stay.
However, before he could finish his thoughts, an orange blur dashed over to his feet and started rubbing its head against him.
“Chenpi, I thought you would’ve forgotten about after not seeing for several days.”
“ow~”
He squatted down to pick up the kitten, and Father Bai looked over with a hint of envy.
“I’ve been feeding this little guy for several days, and it still isn’t affectionate. The owner’s touch is sothing else, huh?”
“Haha, do you like cats, Uncle?”
“When I was younger, I used to keep both cats and dogs. But after my dad passed away, I stopped keeping pets and lost interest.”
“Let’s not talk about that. Xiao Xu, are you here to inspect dinner again? We made spare ribs today, co in and have so.”
“Haha, no, I just wanted to check on your leg.”
“It’s much better now, that green bead you gave really worked wonders. I’ve felt much better these past few days, so I gave it to your aunt to try.”
“That works. I just don’t know if it will be effective for her condition.”
“She said it made her feel much better. By the way, Xiao Xiao said so people ca to renovate the store. Should I go take a look?”
“It’s quite late now. How about we check it out tomorrow? I haven’t been there yet either.”
“Alright, just call tomorrow.”
“Sure.”
After discovering that he could walk again, Father Bai, who had been sowhat downcast, suddenly beca much more spirited.
At this mont, the phone rang inside the house, and Bai Xiaoxiao imdiately ran inside with her backpack.
Half a minute later, she walked towards him and handed him the phone. Bai Xiaoxiao had just gotten the number, who could be calling and asking for him?
“Xu Lin, are you at Sister Bai’s house?”
“Yes.”
“We’re next door, co take a look.”
“Huh? Wait a minute, isn’t next door the old villa area? Weren’t you looking for the new neighborhood?”
Chu Qingchan’s words left him a bit confused. She’s next door, but hadn’t that place been sold out long ago?
She wanted a big villa, but there were no particularly large villas next door. Besides, all the properties there were second-hand, and Chu Fengyi definitely wouldn’t accept that.
But he still nodded, “Alright, I’ll co over to find you.”
“Yeah, we need your opinion.”
“What’s up? Sothing wrong with the renovation?” Father Bai also looked over, thinking there might be an issue with the shop.
“No, we have a friend looking to buy a villa next door.”
“Villa?” Father Bai imdiately wondered if there was sothing wrong with his ears.
Did he just say a friend was buying a villa?
