Chapter 86: Holding Hands with One

Lin Xiaowan, contrary to being a sweet girl, was the kind of woman who seemed destined to shine brightly, standing at the center stage.

This was why, when she obediently used a sweet nickname for herself, it felt particularly satisfying. Imagine a domineering female CEO, majestic outside but shedding her disguise to act coquettishly at home with you – what man could resist such a contrast in charm?

“Su Lin, it’s getting late, shall we go downstairs?”

Su Lin looked at Lin Xiaowan and smiled, “Why don’t you call me ‘Lin Gege’ anymore? I find it very pleasant to hear.”

Lin Xiaowan rolled her eyes at Su Lin, “Do you want me to keep calling you that? Doesn’t it get annoying?”

“Hehe, as long as it’s you calling, I’ll never tire of it.”

Amidst their conversation, a commotion arose from the playground. Su Lin and Lin Xiaowan looked down from the window to see Ye Feng holding his head, frog-jumping around the track.

The track was crowded with people; Feng Yifei was even taking photos of Ye Feng.

Lin Xiaowan, seeing Ye Feng’s predicament, coldly said, “Serves him right. People like him need to be taught a lesson.”

“You’re right. He really needs to be disciplined, and now he’s getting his comeuppance,” agreed Su Lin.

“Yeah, yeah, Su Lin, you’ve done so much, and today is so satisfying. Let’s go down and join the crowd,” suggested Lin Xiaowan with a mischievous smile.

Su Lin, seeing Lin Xiaowan eager to join in, nodded and released her. Lin Xiaowan got off Su Lin and then pulled him to go outside.

“Wait…”

“What’s wrong, Su Lin?” Lin Xiaowan asked with concern, seeing his pained expression.

Su Lin forced a smile, “I’ve been sitting too long; my legs are a bit numb.”

“Pfft~!! Serves you right for not letting go of me just now.”

Su Lin laughed, “If I had let go of you, you would have run away, and maybe our relationship confirmation would have been left unresolved, so I had to seize the opportunity.”

“Su Lin, you sure have a way with words~.”

“Hehe, didn’t you just taste how capable I am?”

Lin Xiaowan then responded with a playful kick.

“Ah~! Xiaowan, are you trying to murder your husband? Why kick me?” Su Lin looked at his shin, somewhat bemused and helpless.

“Hmph, that’s for what you said.”

After moving around a bit, Su Lin and Lin Xiaowan descended the stairs together. Arriving at the playground, Su Lin realized how spectacular the scene was.

Ye Feng had offended many bystanders last time, so now many were there to watch his punishment. Especially since he had to shout with every jump, Ye Feng became a laughingstock for many.

The first to notice Su Lin and Lin Xiaowan’s arrival was Xia Shiyu. She ran over, “Su Lin, Xiaowan, why did you take so long?”

“Did we miss the good part?” Su Lin asked, raising an eyebrow.

Xia Shiyu shook her head, “Ye Feng and Feng Yifei almost started fighting just now. If it weren’t for the crowd holding them back, they probably would have.”

Su Lin nodded, “Feng Yifei has wanted to beat up Ye Feng for a long time, just never had the chance. Today might be different. After three rounds of frog jumps, anyone would be unsteady.”

“At this time, if Feng Yifei shows up, Ye Feng is at his mercy. Xiaowan, as the class monitor, do you want to intervene?”

Lin Xiaowan frowned, “Intervene? Why? We’re off school now. I might be the class monitor, but I can only manage in-class matters. What happens outside of class isn’t my concern. Let them be.”

Tsk, such animosity towards Ye Feng, Su Lin thought. The world had changed so much since he transgressed here; what about the future? Su Lin didn’t ponder too much. As a villain, his job was to enjoy the present.

Xia Shiyu looked puzzledly at Lin Xiaowan and Su Lin. As an observant girl, she was adept at noticing changes in people around her. She felt a significant shift in how Su Lin and Lin Xiaowan interacted.

After pondering, she understood the key. No wonder Su Lin asked her to supervise Ye Feng; he had gone to confess his feelings. And judging by their behavior, Su Lin must have succeeded.

Xia Shiyu was happy for Su Lin, without a hint of jealousy, perhaps because Lin Xiaowan was involved. She always felt Su Lin should be with Lin Xiaowan.

As for herself, she was content to quietly stand by Su Lin’s side. Xia Shiyu looked at Su Lin, who winked at her and, when Lin Xiaowan wasn’t looking, took Xia Shiyu’s hand.

Xia Shiyu trembled, as this was the first time Su Lin had held her hand so publicly. Su Lin then turned to Lin Xiaowan and took her hand too. Lin Xiaowan was startled and tried to pull away.

Su Lin whispered, “Xiaowan, no one is watching us right now. If you pull away, they will. I don’t mind admitting our relationship, but are you ready for that?”

“Su Lin~!”

“Shh, Xiaoyu is right here,” Su Lin said with a smile.

Lin Xiaowan calmed down, smoothing her hair and then turning to the playground. Ye Feng’s spectacle was still ongoing, but Su Lin didn’t stay to watch, taking Lin Xiaowan and Xia Shiyu with him.

Xia Shiyu was wary of Lin Xiaowan discovering her and Su Lin’s interaction, worried it might ruin their relationship. Similarly, Lin Xiaowan was concerned about Xia Shiyu noticing, fearing it would hurt her, knowing her fondness for Su Lin.

As for Su Lin, he thought such incidents should happen more often. Frequent occurrences would get the girls used to it, bringing him closer to his ultimate goal.

“Xiaoyu, going to the hospital or home?”

“Home. My dad is much better now, with a special nurse taking care of him. He should be fine.”

Su Lin raised an eyebrow, “Sounds like there’s a story there?”

“Hehe, I’m trying to matchmake that nurse auntie with my dad.”

“What? Xiaoyu, what did you say?” Lin Xiaowan looked shocked at Xia Shiyu. She couldn’t believe her ears.

“Hehe, just what you heard. I think that Xu auntie is nice to my dad. Maybe there’s a chance.” Xia Shiyu glanced at Su Lin, thinking, “Finding a partner for dad, so I can be with Su Lin without him being lonely.”

They left the playground and the drama behind, each absorbed in their thoughts and the new dynamics unfolding among them.
