Zhao Yanyan met Su Linâs gaze and subconsciously looked to the side, her eyes dodging and flickering. Su Lin, as someone who had been through similar experiences, understood this kind of look all too well.
However, worried that he might be falling for one of lifeâs three major delusions, Su Lin cast a probing spell on Zhao Yanyan.
[Zhao Yanyan: 18 years old, 175cm, 52kg, current fondness level (66 and rising).].
Secretly harboring feelings? How thrilling!
To say Su Lin, as an Isp, had no interest in Zhao Yanyanâs legs would definitely be a lie. He had been prepared ever since he realized he was the villain.
Encountering various types of beauties â the tsundere heiresses, little witches, cute big-breasted girls, and so on.
Therefore, Su Lin was very particular about his choice in women, adhering to the principle of quality over quantity. He definitely wouldnât want someone with character flaws.
And Zhao Yanyan was someone Su Lin genuinely liked â her enthusiastic and generous personality, her stunning figure, and most importantly, those long legs that even international leg models couldnât match were what Su Lin liked the most.
âYanyan, you sit first, I need to wash up too. I didnât expect you to come over so early today,â Su Lin cheerfully said.
Zhao Yanyan wanted to say it wasnât early anymore, it was already past nine, almost ten.
But since Su Lin was the boss, she walked over to a chair and sat down, a bit embarrassed, âSu Lin, I didnât expect Xiaowan to be with you, so I rented a single apartment.
âIf you had told me earlier, I definitely wouldnât have rented such a small one. Now it feels a bit cramped for three people. Should I go down to the front desk and ask for a bigger room?â
Su Lin shook his head: âNo need, Iâve already had someone look at houses near Donghai University. As soon as we find a suitable one, we will buy it immediately. Plus, this place is quite nice. Xiaowan and I donât feel cramped living here.â
Zhao Yanyan pouted. When Lin Xiaowan said these words, she would still feel shy, but Su Lin was different, looking completely unbothered.
However, thinking of their couple relationship, she felt she was overthinking and worrying unnecessarily.
âAlright, if youâre comfortable here, thatâs good.â
âMm~!!â
As they were talking, Lin Xiaowan came out of the bathroom, still wrapped in a bath towel, looking incredibly delicate and beautiful.
Especially her skin tone, fair with a hint of blush, made her look like a polished red apple, tempting enough to take a bite.
âSu Lin, Iâm done. Your turn,â she said.
Su Lin nodded and then entered the bathroom.
It wasnât until Su Lin was completely out of sight that Zhao Yanyan noticed a casually placed Blue and white porcelain tall-necked vase on the table.
She picked up the vase and looked around, a bit puzzled, âXiaowan, didnât you buy several vases yesterday? Why do I only see this one? Where are the others?â
Lin Xiaowan came over and took the tall-necked vase, âYanyan, donât mess with it. This vase is a real antique.â
âA real antique? Blue and white porcelain? How is that possible!â Zhao Yanyan expressed her disbelief.
âHehe, I couldnât believe it either, but Su Lin said all the others are fakes, and this one is real.â
Zhao Yanyan was skeptical, âXiaowan, Blue and white porcelain isnât something you can just claim as genuine.â
âWhat proof does Su Lin have? Besides, this was bought from a street stall. You know how those street vendors source their goods, right? These kinds of antiques are usually weighed and priced accordingly.â
Hearing Zhao Yanyanâs words, Lin Xiaowan also started to doubt. Yesterday, Su Lin had said he would teach her how to differentiate, but then he got wrapped up in the blanket and they both slept until morning, so she didnât hear anything about it from Su Lin.
âI⦠I donât know, but if Su Lin says itâs real, then it must be,â Lin Xiaowan asserted firmly.
Although Su Lin was mostly frivolous, Lin Xiaowan knew that when he was serious, whatever he said or did was reliable, and she believed this unconditionally.
âUh⦠why do I feel like whatever he says, you just believe? He says itâs real and you just accept it?â
Lin Xiaowan nodded earnestly, âSu Lin wouldnât joke about this kind of thing. So, unless heâs mistaken, this must be genuine.â
âAlright then.â Observing Lin Xiaowanâs deep trust, Zhao Yanyan sighed at Su Linâs charm. Being handsome only gives a good first impression, but attractiveness is deadly.
Even a strong woman like Lin Xiaowan blindly trusts Su Lin, making Zhao Yanyan feel that her own feelings for Su Lin werenât so hard to accept. After all, she was attracted to him, but she wouldnât compete with her friend for a boyfriend.
The topic ended, and Su Lin came out of the bathroom, âWe havenât had breakfast yet. Xiaowan, shall we go for breakfast?â
Lin Xiaowan rolled her eyes at Su Lin, âWhat breakfast? Just now Iâ¦â
âJust now what?â
Lin Xiaowan hmphed twice but didnât continueâ¦n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Just now she woke up early and dragged Su Lin out for breakfast, not expecting him to be so energetic early in the morning, and then they ended up sleeping in again.
âHmph, itâs all your own doing. Now itâs too late to be hungry.â
âBy the way, Su Lin, you said this Blue and white porcelain is real, but Iâm still a bit worried. Why donât we go get it appraised?â
Su Lin then noticed Zhao Yanyan carefully examining the vase.
âHeh~! Xiaowan, do you not trust my appraisal skills?â
Lin Xiaowan shook her head, âI trust your skills, but itâs not enough if only I believe it.â
Su Lin caught a glimpse of understanding in Zhao Yanyanâs eyes. She must be suspecting itâs a fake.
Having had limited interaction with him, Zhao Yanyan would naturally be more objective in her assessment.
He thought for a moment and said, âAlright, we donât have much else to do in Donghai anyway, so letâs visit Cangbaozhai this afternoon for an appraisal. Although an expertâs certificate isnât very useful, it helps avoid many unnecessary issues.â
âMm-hmm~!!â
Zhao Yanyan, seeing Su Linâs relaxed and easy-going manner, asked curiously, âSu Lin, can you tell us why youâre sure itâs genuine? Whatâs your basis?â
Su Lin raised an eyebrow, âYanyan, I can tell you, but are you sure youâll understand?â
âUh⦠I probably⦠wonât understand, but I can still listen, right?â Zhao Yanyan chuckled nervously.
Su Lin shrugged, âThey at Cangbaozhai will explain to you how to identify it. Theyâre the professionals.â
âOkay then.â Zhao Yanyan was somewhat disappointed not to get the answer she wanted, but she realized that asking Su Lin such a question might have been a bit much considering they werenât close.
This knowledge might be Su Linâs unique skill, and by telling her, she could start finding bargains herself, essentially stealing someone elseâs livelihood. Zhao Yanyan silently chastised herself for her lack of thoughtfulness.
Su Lin, unaware of the extent of a womanâs inner thoughts, touched his stomach and then said, âXiaowan, since weâre skipping breakfast, letâs go for lunch. Iâm really hungry.â
âHmph⦠remember this in the future, donât think that my pampering you means you can do as you please,â Lin Xiaowan said with a tsundere attitude.
Su Lin laughed heartily, âXiaowan, Iâll remember, definitely will remember!â
âThatâs more like it. Letâs go, itâs time for lunch.â
