Chapter 74: Zhao Yanyan, the Leg Goddess

In a certain area of Donghai City in a family compound, two young girls embraced each other.

“Xiaowan, long time no see.”

“Yanyan, I came to see you.”

Zhao Yanyan and Lin Xiaowan hugged tightly, then separated. Zhao Yanyan looked at Lin Xiaowan with a teasing expression: “Xiaowan, you’ve grown even more here. I almost felt suffocated just now.”

“Yanyan, why don’t you mention how much taller you’ve gotten? I’m already considered tall among the girls in my class, but standing next to you, I feel like a dwarf,” Lin Xiaowan replied, playfully hitting Zhao Yanyan.

“Alas! I didn’t want to grow taller, but it just keeps happening. You don’t know, I’m already 175 cm tall.”

“Wow… 175 cm, you’re almost as tall as the boys. Especially your legs, they are so long. Using Su Lin’s words, you could be a leg model,” Lin Xiaowan said admiringly.

“Long? I wish they were shorter. You don’t know the troubles these legs bring me.” Zhao Yanyan said with some distress.

“Troubles with such long and beautiful legs?”

“Look at these pants. They’re supposed to be for someone 180 cm tall, yet they still don’t fully cover and leave half of my ankles exposed. You don’t understand how cold it gets when the wind blows in East Sea.” Zhao Yanyan’s comically distressed face made Lin Xiaowan laugh out loud.

“Hahaha, Yanyan, that’s really tough.”

“Hehe, we’re in the same boat, Xiaowan. Do you dare to run during PE classes?” Zhao Yanyan glanced at Lin Xiaowan’s chest. “By the way, Xiaowan, you mentioned Su Lin just now. Who is Su Lin? That name sounds like a guy.”

Zhao Yanyan’s eyes sparkled with curiosity as she looked at Lin Xiaowan: “Xiaowan, don’t tell me you’re in a relationship now.”

Lin Xiaowan hit Zhao Yanyan lightly: “How could that be? Not yet.”

“Not yet? So you’re about to be in a relationship?”

“Who is this Su Lin? Where is he from? Is he handsome? Do you have a photo? Let me see.”

Lin Xiaowan: “…”

“Oh, come on, Xiaowan. We’ve been sisters for so many years. You’re not going to hide him from me, are you?” Zhao Yanyan pretended to be hurt.

“Yanyan, what are you talking about? Su Lin and I are just good friends. Whether we’ll be in a relationship in the future, I can’t say. But… I mean, if we do start dating, I will definitely tell you,” Lin Xiaowan said somewhat shyly.

Seeing her reaction, Zhao Yanyan became even more enthusiastic. Even if Lin Xiaowan and Su Lin weren’t dating yet, it seemed they soon would be.

“Xiaowan, tell me all about him. I’m dying of curiosity.”

“There’s nothing much to tell. He’s just a good friend. As for the future, who knows? If… I mean, if we do start dating, I will definitely tell you,” Lin Xiaowan said seriously.

“Eh~! Xiaowan, didn’t you say you wouldn’t date in high school or university?” Zhao Yanyan teased.

Lin Xiaowan looked towards Zhongjiang City, her eyes losing focus: “Yanyan, plans can’t keep up with changes. I might really fall for him this time.”

“What kind of man is he that can capture our Xiaowan?”

“Hehe~! He’s… just an ordinary person.” Then Lin Xiaowan looked at Zhao Yanyan: “If he saw you, he would definitely stare at your legs, hehe.”

“Oh? An ordinary person, but if he managed to win you over, he must not be just any ordinary guy. Tell me…”

“Tell you what?”

“What else? Tell me about what’s been happening between you two recently. I really want to know.”

“Uh~! I don’t even know where to start.”

“Hehe, it’s okay, I have plenty of time today. You can start from the beginning.”

As they were talking, a handsome young man approached them: “Yanyan, going out?”

Zhao Yanyan frowned upon seeing him. This person was Lin Tian, the son of the Director of the Agricultural Bureau and a classmate of hers. He’s a typical rich-second-generation who has a crush on her and has been pursuing her.

“Yanyan, let’s go.”

“Eh… Yanyan, you haven’t answered my question yet. Where are you going?” Lin Tian blocked their path, asking in a careless manner.

“Lin Tian, will you let us pass? If not, don’t blame me for getting rough,” Zhao Yanyan said angrily.

Usually, she could tolerate Lin Tian’s antics, considering everyone was neighbors and Lin Yourong had a good relationship with her father. But with Lin Xiaowan here, and Lin Tian being so oblivious, she was truly angry.

Lin Tian only then noticed Lin Xiaowan and was instantly smitten.

“Bam~!”

“Ouch, Yanyan, why did you kick me?”

“Lin Tian, where are your dog eyes looking?”

Lin Xiaowan stepped forward and kicked Lin Tian again, this time hitting him on the cheek: “If you can’t control your eyes, you might as well donate them to the blind.”

“What the… who are you?”

Zhao Yanyan said, “Lin Tian, with your status, you’re nothing in front of Xiaowan. Her dad is at my house right now, a valued guest of my dad. If you know what’s good for you, leave now, or I’ll tell your dad, and he will definitely beat you.”

Hearing Zhao Yanyan threatening to tell his dad, Lin Tian immediately shuddered. He feared no one but his father, a former soldier who didn’t hold back when disciplining him.

Zhao Yanyan, looking disdainful, said, “That’s all you’ve got. Let’s go, Xiaowan…”

Lin Xiaowan nodded.

“I’m sorry, Xiaowan, for making you deal with this.”

Lin Xiaowan shook her head, “I used to encounter this kind of thing often. We had even more exaggerated situations at our school, like school bullies blocking the way and school hunks giving flowers.”

“Oh? How did you deal with them?”

“Just ignored them.”

“Pity, Lin Tian is not like those school bullies or hunks. He’s shameless and really annoying, like a sticking plaster,” Zhao Yanyan said with disgust. “Xiaowan, you said ‘used to.’ Does that mean these people no longer bother you? How did you manage that?”

Lin Xiaowan paused, then thought of Su Lin. Ever since she got close to him, the school bullies and hunks stopped bothering her, even the love letters in her drawer decreased. Thinking of Su Lin, she smiled sweetly.

“Xiaowan, that smile… are you thinking about your Su Lin?” Zhao Yanyan teased, now completely curious about Su Lin.

Lin Xiaowan’s background was well known to Zhao Yanyan. She was considered a princess, yet she showed such a smile for a boy. This made Su Lin even more intriguing.

“Eh… No, let’s go, Yanyan. Show me around Donghai. I haven’t really explored it yet.”

Seeing Lin Xiaowan reluctant to share more, Zhao Yanyan felt disappointed, “Okay, I’ll treat you today. Let’s have fun in Donghai.”

“Hehe…” Lin Xiaowan thought of Su Lin again, wishing he was with her. Shopping was never boring with him around, unlike now, where she found little interest in anything.

Meanwhile, Su Lin was enjoying a delicious meal at Lushao Tang, unaware of the system’s alert in his mind.

[Ding~! A new female lead detected. Would you like to receive information? Upon receiving, you will inevitably stand against the protagonist.].

Caught off guard by the sudden alert, Su Lin decided to accept. After all, encountering the protagonist was inevitable.

“Receive!!!”

“View~!!”
