CHAPTER 46: CHAPTER 46: IMPROPER MISSION

"Letting a wolf into the house..."

When Xu Lin saw this task, he was momentarily at a loss.

"Am I really that kind of person?"

Xu Lin thought of himself as quite proper, but this task made it hard for him to maintain that image.

Letting a wolf into the house is not a good idiom; it means bringing a bad person inside.

[Task progress: Holding hands (incomplete), Kissing (incomplete), Touching hair (incomplete), Having her wear black stockings (incomplete), Carrying her with black silky legs (incomplete), Wei’s Thirty-Six Techniques (incomplete)...]

[Note: Unlock three achievements to receive a small reward.]

Xu Lin took a look and saw that the task progress included many detailed sub-tasks.

Even actions in bed were covered.

"This system is quite improper!"

Xu Lin felt that he should be proper, but it seemed he had encountered an improper system.

[Note: System-triggered tasks are determined by the host’s root will.]

[Note: Root will can be roughly understood as subconsciousness.]

"..."

"This time, let me drive!"

Arriving at the car, Chi Linyue said.

"Ok."

Xu Lin was still musing over the task.

So Chi Linyue took charge of driving.

Half an hour later, Chi Linyue drove the car into a high-end residential complex.

This community was clearly exclusive. Just as Chi Linyue drove through the gate, Xu Lin noticed a Rolls-Royce ahead, and then in the underground garage, he saw many supercars and other luxury vehicles.

The residents in this community were clearly affluent.

After getting out of the car, Xu Lin followed Chi Linyue into the elevator with his backpack on.

The echo in the underground garage was loud, and Chi Linyue walked with a rhythmic stride. The sound of her high-heeled sandals resonating on the ground made Xu Lin truly feel that this top-level "dominant" woman was quite something.

[A woman out of your league.]

Before long, they were in the elevator going up.

Here, the design was a single unit per floor. After Chi Linyue swiped her card, the elevator activated, and they went straight to the eighth floor.

This design meant that only the owner could access their floor, providing strong privacy.

Stepping out of the elevator was a space of over twenty square meters, also Chi Linyue’s personal area.

They changed shoes there.

Then Chi Linyue swiped her card to unlock the door.

Xu Lin first caught a unique fragrance, unmistakably Chi Linyue’s scent, as each house tends to carry its owner’s fragrance.

As Xu Lin stepped inside, he saw a beautifully decorated apartment, making his own 160-square-meter home feel small.

"Is this a full-floor flat?"

Xu Lin asked.

"Yes, a full-floor flat," Chi Linyue nodded.

"How big is it?"

"The actual area is over 400 square meters, with common area and elevator area included, it’s just over 500 square meters!"

"Sis, you’re amazing!"

Over 500 square meters, what an accomplishment!

"Do you feel uncomfortable here?"

Chi Linyue placed her bag on the entrance cabinet.

"I’m quite adaptable."

"That’s good."

Chi Linyue said, "I’ll go change clothes first."

Xu Lin walked over to the living room area and put down his backpack.

Chi Linyue’s place was really spacious; through the entrance and beyond the foyer was a bar, with many bottles of red wine on the cupboard behind it. Past the bar was the living room followed by the kitchen and other rooms on the side.

Chi Linyue headed into the bedroom area.

In the living room where Xu Lin was, the windows were floor-to-ceiling, showing the outside world.

It was the bustling Jiangdu beneath the night sky, possibly the city center, with cars constantly flowing and the multicolored lights of the cityscape, showcasing its prosperity.

"This apartment must be worth over a hundred million in Jiangdu?"

Xu Lin pondered.

He contemplated that if he settled in Jiangdu, he’d have to get a full-floor flat.

Xu Lin was really feeling bold these days; it wasn’t just a daydream with the way things were going for him.

This summer vacation, if he put in a bit of effort, his savings would hit a million.

As long as Moonlit Night and the others spread the word, Xu Lin would have scores of people coming to him for writing.

But Xu Lin didn’t want to pursue that, after all, hard work wasn’t really Xu Lin’s style.

Getting money while lying around was more his pace.

Before long, Chi Linyue came out.

She had changed into casual home wear, a short-sleeved shirt and gray sweatpants. Despite the simplicity of the outfit, on Chi Linyue, it had a unique allure.

Her figure was simply outstanding.

"Do I look good?"

Seeing Xu Lin looking at her, Chi Linyue spun around on the spot.

"I’m a normal man."

"Haha..."

Chi Linyue laughed, "Didn’t you say last time you wanted to chase me?"

"Really want to."

"And now?"

"Want it even more."

"Then work hard!"

On Chi Linyue’s stunning face, her brows and eyes painted like a picture, her enchanting gaze like a flower, there’s a charm that words can’t describe. God knows how captivating she is when she smiles.

[A woman you can’t handle right now.]

The tag above still hasn’t changed.

But Xu Lin understood, firstly, Chi Linyue was an incredibly wealthy woman, and compared to her, Xu Lin was nothing, so it was normal not to be able to handle her.

"Come with me, I’ll take you to the room!"

Then, Chi Linyue led Xu Lin to a room.

The room wasn’t small, about twenty square meters, with the bed facing the floor-to-ceiling window, offering a view of the night scenery outside.

Chi Linyue: "Stay here tonight, you’ll report in the morning, right?"

"Yes."

Next, Chi Linyue took Xu Lin to the bathroom area.

Chi Linyue: "Take a shower and rest early, you’ve been driving for so long today, you must be tired?"

"A little bit."

Xu Lin eats or drinks something, and his energy comes back.

After a short while, Xu Lin went to take a shower.

At home, when Xu Lin showered, he would come out without clothes or just in underwear, but here that wasn’t appropriate, so Xu Lin had to obediently put on clothes and pants, although it felt a bit unusual.

After coming out of the bathroom, Xu Lin picked up a hairdryer on the nearby wall to dry his hair, and then went to the living room.

In the living room, Chi Linyue was sitting cross-legged on the sofa with a laptop on her lap, looking at something.

When Chi Linyue saw him come out, she looked up at Xu Lin and said, "There’s wine at the bar, you can take something to drink."

Xu Lin, naturally not polite.

He went to the bar, took down a bottle of wine, without knowing what kind of wine it was, as it was all in foreign script.

Xu Lin hadn’t even mastered English. When he was in junior high, he impulsively bought an English vocabulary book to memorize, ambitiously thinking of remembering thousands of words, but until he graduated high school, he recognized only a few. He mostly guessed through multiple choice questions during exams, so much less could he recognize these foreign scripts that weren’t even English, nor did he know which country’s language it was.

After removing the cork from the wine bottle, Xu Lin initially wanted to drink directly from the bottle, but then wondered if it might be a bit inelegant to do so.

This was wine.

Xu Lin wanted to drink it with a wine glass but in the end, he still held the bottle and drank directly from it.

Quickly, Xu Lin finished the entire bottle of wine.

Xu Lin burped contentedly.

"This is me, I ought to be a bit carefree, how could I pretend otherwise?"

Drinking wine, swirling the wine glass, leisurely tasting, occasionally indulging—that’s something only pretentious people would do.

Probably only someone like Zhao Yifei would go for that.

[Energy +12.]

[Energy (95/100): Spirited, full of drive.]

To Xu Lin’s surprise, he didn’t expect a bottle of wine to have such high energy.

He couldn’t drink anymore, or he wouldn’t be able to sleep at night.

Xu Lin went to the living room area and sat on the sofa opposite Chi Linyue, leaning back and closing his eyes to rest.

Chi Linyue glanced up at him.

Xu Lin was the first guy to come to her place; no man had ever stepped into Chi Linyue’s doorway before.

As for Xu Lin, Chi Linyue felt rather at ease with him.

Xu Lin was mischievous yet transparent, unlike others who were sketchy at heart but acted proper on the surface.

"Xu Lin, what plans do you have for when you start college?"

Chi Linyue suddenly asked.

"Plans?"

Xu Lin opened his eyes and sat up straight.

"I mean, what do you want to do in the future?"

"Make money?"

"Making money is too broad. Like what industry or field do you want to work in, do you have any career plans?"

"I honestly haven’t thought about it."

Thinking about career planning gave Xu Lin a headache. Like most people his age, they have no idea what they want to do in the future. Even if they have influential elders at home, they’re just pushed along rather than making their own choices and plans.

At eighteen, most people have immature insights—unless they come from very wealthy or highly intellectual families that emphasize cultivating children from an early age. Kids from these families have advanced thinking and understanding in all aspects compared to the majority of children from ordinary families.

Chi Linyue: "Then think about it and let me know."

Xu Lin pondered it for two minutes.

Xu Lin said: "If I have to say something, it’s to be freer, not having to work for others, earning money while lying down."

Others hearing Xu Lin’s words would probably say he’s daydreaming, isn’t this just being lazy and unrealistic?

But not Chi Linyue; she replied, "Then it’s about investing, right? Putting money into different baskets to earn continuous and long-term income without having to work yourself."

"I thought you’d say I’m dreaming."

"I wouldn’t, because I’m the same way. I work or don’t work as I please."

Chi Linyue beckoned to Xu Lin with her finger, signaling him to come to her side.

So Xu Lin went over, and Chi Linyue patted the sofa beside her, so Xu Lin sat down next to her.

"What do you think of this project of mine?"

Chi Linyue opened a document.

It turned out to be investment documents for an internet brokerage company.

[This is an investment that can leave you penniless.]

The two documents revealed different words.
