âOh, we didnât finish talking last time- what do I do if I want to get Lin Yi to like me?â Xiaoxiao asked softly.
âUh⦠I donât think itâll be too hard. Boss is a soft person on the inside- heâs open to friendliness and basically softness, but he resists if youâre forceful. So itâs been proven that if you take a softer approach and attitude, act cute a little⦠I think boss would try to soften up a little for you and stop ignoring you.â
It was a bit inappropriate to be discussing his boss behind his back, but the situation Xiaoxiao was in was just so sad⦠A girl transferring to a new school alone for the person she loved, failing to win his approval and praise and instead ignored and set aside⦠Xiaobo only gave her more information because he pitied her.
âOh? So thatâs how Lin Yi rollsâ¦â Xiaoxiao was rather surprised, but Xiaobo was Lin Yiâs closest man- if even he was saying this then it meant thereâd been something wrong with her previous strategies.
As things stood, her trying to embarrass or threaten Lin Yi wouldnât do anything at all- itâd actually cause her problems! It seemed that she really needed to adjust her plans to get Lin Yi to submit.
âYeah. I feel like girls need to learn how to act cute- you donât know how to act cute, right? Thatâs why boss doesnât like you.â Xiaobo said as if it was only natural. âYou need to know that sis-in-law Tang Yin isnât any less prettier than you, and sheâs even a bit taller! If you really do like my boss then you need to be more gentle!â
âIs that soâ¦â Xiaoxiao frowned slightly at the thought- treating Lin Yi gently? Lin Yi, who was a man..?
What a joke!! She was Feng Xiaoxiao, and Feng Xiaoxiao didnât do things to please and win over guys! People would be laughing at her if word got out.
It was off limits. Simply off limits. Acting cute?? She hadnât the faintest idea how sheâd do that, not when sheâd never done it in her entire life! She wouldn't be able to pull it off at all!
(The original word doesnât strictly translate into act cute, but itâs something along those lines. The word is used when a kid says âpleeeease, daddy! Just one more story!â or when a girlfriend asks her boyfriend to buy her that purse and uses the same âact cuteâ tactic.)
But if she didnât do that⦠Lin Yi wouldnât teach her drifting at allâ¦
But was drifting really that important in the first place? Xiaoxiao felt lost- sheâd come here for Lin Yi because heâd disregarded and ignored her once. It pissed her off, especially when he was just a mere follower, a lackey! Where did he come off talking to her with that attitude? Sheâd come here to really just pay Lin Yi back and vent her frustration! Getting him to teach her drifting was really just a condition that came with the package!
Xiaoxiao had been thinking that Lin Yi would never agree to teaching her that before she even came- but then she realized that Lin Yi didnât give a shit about her at all!
But even that was tolerable, so Xiaoxiao endured⦠Until Lin Yi went and peed all over her!!! He even tied firecrackers onto her butt, on a dead knot, no less!
Did the guy want to kill her??n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Xiaoxiao couldnât take it anymore. She wanted revenge! This had evolved into something far more complicated than just drifting. This was now hate, and her rage towards Lin Yi could only be eased when Lin Yi had paid the price.
With the newfound clarity, Xiaoxiao decided that Xiaoboâs advice was rather on point. The problem now was how sheâd approach the problem!
Even if Xiaoxiao had to act cute to get Lin Yi to teach her drifting, it didnât really matter anymore at this point. Learning drifting itself had lost its importance, too- she needed to get Lin Yi to pay!!
Xiaoxiaoâs eyes lit up all of a sudden, an idea coming to mind. Since Lin Yi liked Tang Yin she could just go and make a love triangle with them, ruining her relationship with Lin Yi! Sheâd get Lin Yi to fall in love with her, and then sheâd dump him!!! Xiaoxiao started smiling at the thought. Sheâd wait until Lin Yi was head over heels for her, unable to hold back⦠And then sheâd tell him the truth!
Tears would fall, and Lin Yiâs heart would break.
The plan invigorated Xiaoxiao with willpower. With the looks she had going for her, taking Lin Yi down wasnât a challenge at all. It didnât matter how close he was with Tang Yin, they werenât in the same classes! She was!
She was even sitting beside Lin Yi, too- she really did have everything set up for her. Itâd be an insane failure if she couldnât even win this battle of love with an advantage this decisive.
Xiaoxiaoâs expressions shifted from uncertain to happy, from angry to hopeful⦠Xiaobo only assumed that sheâd thought things through. âWell, I told you all this because I feel bad for you. Donât go ruin my bossâ relationship with Tang Yin, okay!â
âI wonât, come on⦠Iâll just watch quietly and look at him, I donât need him to return anything!â Xiaoxiao nodded. âBut you need to keep this a secret for me, okay!â
âOf course.â Xiaobo nodded with a smile. He was quite compassionate towards this Xiaoxiao girl.
Lin Yi arrived at Xueminâs villa to see two police cars parked outside, much to his surprise. One was Lingshanâs local police car, and the other was the one Huaijun had driven him to school in last time.
Lin Yi didnât find it too surprising for Huajun to be here, but what was Lingshan doing here??
He pressed on the doorbell, and Nanny Liu opened the door, inviting him in directly since she knew him already. She got Lin Yi some slippers. âProfessor Xueminâs in the study with two guests. One of them is the Mister Yang you personally know.â
âAh, got it. Iâll go see them myself. I know the other one as well.â Lin Yi smiled.
âAlright.â Nanny Liu didnât say much to that and got back to her work.
Lin Yi walked up to the study, knocked on the door, and Xueminâs voice sounded in response immediately after. âIs that you, Yi? Youâre quick.â
âItâs me!â Lin Yi pushed open the door and nodded with a smile on his face, which disappeared as a sudden figure came up to him, giving him a fright. He was about to dodge when he saw who it was.
Smiling bitterly, he let Huaijun embrace him in a bear hug, who was laughing rather happily. âHowâs my condition now?â
Lin Yi rolled his eyes. âYouâll live, but you need to wait before you can regain your original strength.â
âOriginal strength?â Huaijun paused before the realization hit him. âEagl- Lin Yi, youâre telling me I can get my strength back?â
âWhen have I ever lied?â Lin Yi shrugged.
But Lingshan spoke up from the sofa before Huaijun had the chance to. âAll the time!â
âMiss Braindead, no oneâs gonna call you mute if you keep your mouth shut!â Lin Yi glared, a little displeased at Lingshanâs interruption. âYou better not come begging for my help next time, since everything I say is a lie!!â
âBig Bro Yang, look! Heâs bullying me again!â Lingshan looked to Huaijun with puppy eyes, as if sheâd been wronged.
âWHA?!â Lin Yi froze, shocked.
Song Lingshan⦠could actually be a girl when she wanted to?
um... so some of you said in the poll stuff like 'dude make a decision and stick with it already, just do whatever's most comfortable and stop trying to please everyone"
So 30 chapters a month it is, starting now. Please wait patiently, BAB will be running again ten days later.
Plus, 57 percent wanted 30 a month for a shorter period anyway. (30 percent preffered 45 a month for a longer period. 13 percent were comments xD)
Bye bye guys!
