CHAPTER 466: CHAPTER 106: A PLEASANT MORNING, DEPARTURE TO THE PROVINCIAL CAPITAL 2

"Anything else?"

"Do you truly like me? Answer sincerely!"

Xu Lin heard this and thought, what kind of question is this?

Sometimes women’s thought processes are quite puzzling. They love asking odd questions.

So, Xu Lin simply didn’t answer.

Xu Lin believed that you shouldn’t always indulge women; otherwise, they might become more unreasonable. This isn’t to say women aren’t good, but some aspects are innate; men tend to be rational, women tend to be emotional, and rationality and emotion can give rise to many things, even influencing a person’s behavioral principles.

Therefore, when big sister asked such a question, she needed a little lesson; otherwise, she’d push her luck.

How can you ask such a question?

Xu Lin started to be mischievous, thinking of giving her a small punishment.

Soon, the room was filled with spring colors, tender and charming.

Chi Linyue suffered though.

...

At eight o’clock in the morning, after a bit of fuss,

Xu Lin finished his shower and asked Chi Linyue, "Is your laptop here?"

Xu Lin planned to stay in the provincial city for a while. His mom had a computer, but Xu Lin found it inconvenient and wanted to borrow a laptop.

As for his gaming laptop, it’s in the dorm at school, and the school gates are closed for the holidays.

Buying a new one didn’t seem necessary as Xu Lin only needed it for about ten days in the provincial city and had his 5090 desktop at home, so he was too lazy to buy one.

"Do you want to use it?"

"I need to use it in the provincial city for a while; otherwise, handling work would be inconvenient."

"It’s in my room. I bought a new one recently. Take a look."

"Ok."

Xu Lin followed Chi Linyue into the room.

Chi Linyue pointed at the laptop on the desk, "This is the one."

"Oh? Isn’t this the legendary ’Fruit Laptop’?"

Xu Lin exclaimed in surprise, noticing the iconic apple logo.

Once, this was the signature display product in Starbucks?

"What’s with your fuss? You’re not short of money to buy one."

"How much did this cost?"

"Top configuration, over sixty thousand."

"Oh."

Xu Lin said, "Is there any important information inside? I’ll take it for a while, returning it by late February or early March. Is it inconvenient for you?"

"There’s no important information; you can take it."

Chi Linyue was putting on makeup at the vanity table.

Chi Linyue noticed it was already past eight o’clock, "Do you want to have breakfast with me?"

"Let’s go together."

"Then hurry up and put on your clothes, I’ll finish my makeup quickly."

"Ok."

Chi Linyue didn’t dawdle; she put on makeup quickly. Naturally beautiful, she didn’t need much enhancement.

Xu Lin watched her sitting there, poised, emanating extreme beauty.

Especially when she sat like that, her waist and hips forming a perfect curve, breathtaking.

Xu Lin felt quite moved watching her. Chi Linyue said that not encountering him in college was a regret; Xu Lin thought it wasn’t because Chi Linyue went to college at sixteen, just a little girl then. How could the college version of Chi Linyue compare to her current charm?

The current Chi Linyue is her complete form; the college little girl couldn’t compare at all.

"Sis, have you ever worn a qipao?"

Xu Lin thought it would be a pity if Chi Linyue’s figure and demeanor didn’t match a qipao.

A qipao tests a woman’s body and demeanor to the utmost.

If the figure is off slightly, it looks bad. If the demeanor is lacking, it also looks bad. Some internet celebs wearing qipao have good looks and figures but lack demeanor, making the qipao look awkward, proving the saying that some people don’t even look like a Crown Prince in a dragon robe.

But for Chi Linyue, wearing a qipao would definitely look great.

"What’s up?"

Chi Linyue shook her head, "Never worn it."

"Your figure and demeanor fit the qipao requirements perfectly. Not wearing it once would truly be a pity. Next time, wear it for me to see, okay?"

"When it gets warmer, we can talk!"

"Deal!"

"Would I lie to you? You little rascal!"

"But you have to pair it with high heels, it’ll look even better."

"I’ll wear it for you then, okay?"

"Deal!"

"Heh!"

The two had a simple breakfast together in the morning.

At around nine, they said goodbye officially, and Xu Lin also drove Chi Linyue to work.

"Drive safely, especially on the highway."

"Got it, don’t worry."

"Hmph!"

Chi Linyue glanced at him, "I’m heading back to the office now."

"Alright."

Xu Lin watched Chi Linyue enter the office building and then drove off.

Meanwhile, inside the building, Chi Linyue watched Xu Lin’s car disappear through the glass, inevitably feeling a bit reluctant.

Xu Lin, aside from being a bit flirtatious, really knew how to make her happy. Spending time with him was enjoyable.

"Back to work!"

Chi Linyue opened her phone and checked the time; her phone wallpaper was a picture of Xu Lin.

On the other side, Xu Lin returned to the duplex, securing the couplets and banners with transparent tape.

Then he headed back to the big house.

"Have you packed up your stuff?"

"All packed!"

Rong Xiyi asked, "Xu Lin, where did you run off to yesterday?"

"Busy, of course."

"Oh."

"What’s this?"

"Putting up couplets, getting ready for the New Year."

"Oh oh."

"Help me cut the tape, about this long, segment by segment."

Xu Lin gestured with his hand.

"Hmph, I’ll help you!"

For the next two minutes, they teamed up to put up the couplets.

"Have you had breakfast?"

"I’m full, I had pickled beans."

"That’s good, let’s get ready to go!"

Xu Lin packed some things into his bag. He didn’t have much to carry; even Chi Linyue’s borrowed laptop was considered bulky.

As for Rong Xiyi, she had a lot more stuff.

A 26-inch suitcase packed with who knows what, heavy and full.

They left the underground parking at 10:40.

"Xu Lin, I want to train at mom’s law firm during this time."

Upon leaving the neighborhood, Rong Xiyi mentioned her plans.

"Training? Internship?"

"Yes, I saw many classmates looking for internships during the winter break!"

"Internship, that’s alright." Xu Lin thought it was fine, as university internships are quite normal.

At good universities, students rarely just eat, drink, play, and rest during long breaks. Many try to find ways to train and improve themselves.

After all, in college, it’s not just grades that matter; it’s about developing comprehensive skills to have more competitiveness in the future.

In other words, grades are a part of comprehensive skills, important yet not all that matters, as other aspects must also keep up.

Xu Lin and others started their winter break on the 15th, and the New Year was on February 17th, providing nearly a full month before the holidays. During this time, many classmates returned home or found internships locally in Jiangdu.

For students from prestigious universities, finding internships is easy, and entering good companies is relatively straightforward.

Speaking of which, Yu Xinyan is also interning.

"Xu Lin, do you want to intern at my mom’s law firm with me?"

"I’ll pass; I’m busy with my own things."

"Oh."

"How long do you plan to intern?"

"Until the 10th of next month!"

"But I won’t stay in the provincial city for that long. I might head home on the 31st, leaving you and Ms. Ren in the city."

"You can leave first; I’ll stay with mom!"

"Oh, already forgetting about your brother for mom?"

"Hmph!"

Rong Xiyi acted pridefully, sitting in the passenger seat, snapping a photo of Xu Lin and sending it to Ms. Ren.

Message: "Mom, we’re heading to the provincial city, will arrive before nightfall. How’s the weather over there today?"

"There’s a big sun today!"

Ms. Ren opened the camera, taking a picture of the bright and clear sky outside.

Then she opened the photo, seeing her son driving.

Hmm?

What car is this?

Ms. Ren noticed the sleek interior, clearly not a regular-priced car.

"Did Xu Lin buy a car?"

"Yes, a Panamera."

"The one costing over a million?"

Ms. Ren drove a Mercedes C which was several years old, costing over thirty thousand when new.

"No, the one over two million."

"Eh?"

Ms. Ren thought, this kid really spends money frivolously!

But then again, Xu Lin was making money quite well now.

Oh well.

As long as he doesn’t get into trouble, like going to bars, clubs, or getting into gambling.

As long as Xu Lin stays away from those things, it’s fine.
