Chapter 44: 044 Bootlick Pleasing_1 Chapter 44: 044 Bootlick Pleasing_1 “Manager Qin, don’t move, I’ll take the box. You have such delicate hands, it’s my job to handle these heavy tasks, really!”

Just as Qin Yutong was about to lift her box, Lin Haoran immediately turned himself into an efficient porter, with a particularly good attitude.

“Oh geez…” Qin Yutong stomped her foot in annoyance. “Thank you for your kindness, but I can do it myself!”

What she wanted to say was that he was really annoying, and he should keep his distance.

Yet, for some reason, although she was extremely irritated with him, she couldn’t bring herself to speak those harsh words when faced with his eager-to-please smile.

Was it because he was handsome? Qin Yutong also wondered why? Yes, perhaps it was because he was quite handsome.

At least, out of all the young boys she had met so far, he was the most good-looking.

If he wasn’t so irritating, she might have even crushed on him a little. But he was just too annoying, so liking him was simply impossible!

“No need to thank me, we’re good friends after all. Plus, I just love helping pretty girls!” Lin Haoran said with a cheshire grin, revealing his tiny, neat, and pristine teeth.

Compared to other kids who were missing their teeth, he was definitely cleaner.

Qin Yutong couldn’t help but express her regret. “You’re really handsome, why can’t you just be cooler? Don’t you know that girls prefer cool boys?”

“Er…”

Her words struck a chord with Lin Haoran and snapped him back to reality.

He remembered noticing this point earlier and told himself to always act cool.

How could he have forgotten just like that?

Damn it!

Could he act cool again now? Clearly, he couldn’t.

Shaking her head, Qin Yutong forcibly took her box back and gave a slight smile to Lin Haoran. “Haoran, you’re really quite handsome, but I like boys with strong personalities, and you…. I just can’t bring myself to like you…”

Lin Haoran narrowed his eyes, lifted his arm and planted it on the wall behind Qin Yutong, posing in a “kabe-don” style. “Babe, are you telling me you prefer this type?”

Through her glasses, Qin Yutong tried to get a closer look at the face in front of her, the face hidden behind the sunglasses. Where had she seen it before?

Lin Haoran also had the same feeling and even though her eyes were not visible, her face somehow seemed familiar.

Who did she resemble? Jiajia? Zhouzhou? Or Qiaqia?

Couldn’t tell, but her face was indeed familiar.

Well… That wasn’t important, what mattered was for her to experience his charm.

Leaning slightly closer to her, he flicked his hair and struck a particularly narcissistic pose. “How about this? Cool enough?”

Qin Yutong slowly shook her head and said, without giving him any face at all. “Little boy, don’t blame me for reminding you, this ‘wall-slamming’ pose should be done by tall, mighty boys on petite girls. At least the boy should be half a head taller than the girl. But look at you, you’re just about as tall as me. This might literally be the world’s most awkward ‘wall-slam’…”

Stung by the comment, Lin Haoran immediately retorted, looking unhappy. “Who asked you to grow so tall? And I’m not a little boy, I’m your older brother…”

“Let go of me. I can’t be bothered arguing with you!” Seeing that they had been dawdling near the exit for a while, Qin Yutong was sure that everyone outside must be growing impatient!

“Nope…” Lin Haoran insisted, acting like a pest.

Just then, Lin Haoran’s arm was suddenly grabbed and in the next instant, he was yanked away.

Due to inertia, he ended up sitting on the ground.

“Ouch…” He yelped in pain, casting angry looks around for his assailant.

Before him stood a boy in sportswear with curly hair, standing next to Qin Yutong.

Upon recognizing the boy, Qin Yutong looked surprised and joyous, wrapping her arms around his. “Brother JunJun, what are you doing here?”

“Just here for fun!” Xiao Chengjun stared at Qin Yutong bewilderedly. “What are you dressed up for?”

“Isn’t it for safety?” Qin Yutong wrinkled her nose, but her outfit didn’t deter any boys, but actually enticed a girl instead!

Sigh, being too pretty really does come with its own troubles!

Sitting on the ground, Lin Haoran dusted off his pants and stood up, grabbing hold of Xiao Chengjun fiercely. “Let go of my girlfriend, or my fists might ‘mistakenly’ find their way to your face!”

Looking into the face that was slightly chubby from baby fat, Xiao Chengjun calmly responded, neither fierce nor hasty. “Your fists are pretty powerful?”

Lin Haoran clenched his fists and the veins on his wrist visibly bulged. “I’ve trained, it’s might be a little difficult to defeat Jackie Chan but beating you should be easier for me!”

“Alright then, sounds like the perfect opportunity for a match!” Saying that, Xiao Chengjun rolled up his fists, preparing to sock the little punk in the face.

Just at that critical moment, Qin Yutong threw herself at them, grabbing Xiao Chengjun’s fist and shouted at Lin Haoran. “Lin Haoran, I’m warning you not to mess with me, you are no match for my brother. My brother is a champion in taekwondo, judo, and martial arts in the children’s category, do you think you could beat him?”

Lin Haoran’s mighty and rapid momentum instantly froze.

The next second, he turned into a perfect picture of docility. “I wouldn’t dare to fight with your brother, I’m a good boy who never gets into fights…”

Xiao Chengjun finally released his fist.

Qin Yutong let out a sigh of relief and urged impatiently, “Aren’t you leaving yet? Mrs. Su is waiting anxiously for everyone to gather outside!”

“I…” Lin Haoran dejectedly pushed his little suitcase and walked away!

A few meters out, he started muttering curses under his breath. “Where did this Cheng Yaojin come from all of a sudden? He’s really messing up my plans! I curse this boy to be poor for a lifetime, abandoned by his parents and never being able to find a wife!”

“Lin Haoran, what are you mumbling about?” the teacher asked.

“Oh… nothing!” Lin Haoran shrugged nonchalantly.

“Grab your luggage, we will soon depart on the bus to the activity base!”

“Okay!”

A dozen kids excitedly shouted in chorus.

Lin Haoran kept craning his neck and looking around. “Teacher, why hasn’t Qin Yutong arrived yet?”

The teacher patted his head. “She has already gone to the activity base!”

“Huh? Who did she go with?” Lin Haoran frowned, clearly dissatisfied. How could she just leave without telling him?

Even if she had special privileges, she should have taken him, her boyfriend, along, right?

………………

“Lin Haoran, you and Xiao Chengjun will be roommates!” the teacher announced.

Lin Haoran definitely did not agree with this arrangement and began negotiating with the teacher. “Teacher, can I room with Qin Yutong instead?”
