Chapter 13

Phew

You seem very nervous.

Standing in front of the elevator, Xu Lin glanced at Chu Qingchan, who took a deep breath, surprised that this camera-ready woman could also be nervous.

You said its meeting the parents; itd be strange if I wasnt nervous.

Oh right, speaking of parents, I have something for you.

Hmm?

Xu Lin opened the side pocket of his backpack and took out a jade bracelet. It was simple in style, not the kind with beautiful natural patterns.

Dont look down upon it. My grandma asked me to give this to you, saying its a gift for you.

Speaking of which, I havent done anything for the old lady all day. I forgot to do the dishes and just lazed on the couch, scrolling through my phone. I feel embarrassed to accept it.

But since its from the old lady, you should accept it. Its not something expensive anyway.

The reason she gave it to you is because youre too beautiful. My grandma has always been obsessed with looks since she was young.

Alright, if thats the case, Ill accept it.

She reached out her hands, carefully took it, and then put it on her left wrist. Thank your grandma for me.

Your suitcase is still over there; you can thank her yourself next time.

Okay.

At that moment, the elevator opened, and an old man walked out, waving at Xu Lin. Xu kid, I just came out of your place.

Uncle Zhang, why dont you stay for a while? My dads off work today, and he said he wanted to play chess with you.

Relatives have come to your house, so I shouldnt stay long. You go back quickly.

Alright!

Xu Lin responded, leading Chu Qingchan into the elevator, but his mind was racing, wondering which relative had come to visit.

Uncle? Second uncle? Theyre all working out of town. Aunt? Second aunt? Theyre not in the local area either. I just came back from my grandparents.

Hey, whos this relative? What should I call them?

Exiting the elevator, the big star grabbed his sleeve, and Xu Lin glanced at her. Although she was wearing a mask, the tension was about to explode.

Its okay; just say whatever I say, and thats it.

Oh, okay.

Chu Qingchan didnt know why she was so nervous, feeling like she was back in elementary school when she was still a shy girl with social anxiety.

Xu Lin knocked on the door, and it opened in two seconds. Mother Xu stuck her head out.

I thought you were coming back in the afternoon.

I heard from Uncle Zhang that some relatives came. Who is it?

Its your Uncle Qin.

Mom, where did this Uncle Qin come from?

Dont mess around; lets go to my room.

Oh, dont we need to greet your father first?

Later.

With that said, Xu Lin went straight from the living room to the bedroom. However, Xu Feng, who was in the dining room, still noticed his son leading a girl into the room.

His sons girlfriend? That shouldnt be. He knew his son quite well; besides his hobby of playing games and watching anime, he shouldnt have much interest in anything else.

He got up and walked to the kitchen, approaching his busy wife and whispering, Whos that girl?

I dont know; he said she was a friend. But she looks like an adult.

Could she be his girlfriend?! But if she is, do you think our boy dares to bring her home?

Thats true.

She even brought us gifts. Although I havent looked at it, it seems like it cost quite a bit.

Yeah, lets wait until the guests leave, then well ask.

Okay.

Entering the room, Chu Qingchan took off her mask and sniffed the air for any strange odours, but found none. So she began to observe closely.

There was nothing Xu Lin had to hide; even his study materials were stored on a USB drive, so she couldnt find anything.

Have you read all these books on your shelf?

Mm, Ive loved reading since I was young. Later, after I started reading online novels, whenever they were published in physical form, I would buy them to collect.

I didnt expect that. Nowadays, many people buy books just to display them. Can I use the computer?

Chu Qingchan glanced at the dormant computer and immediately sat down.

Yes, you can.

Chu Qingchan glanced at Xu Lins calm demeanour, searched through folders, and also tried some keywords but found nothing.

Huh? Mr. Xu, youre too clean; theres nothing here.

So, what are you looking for?

Dont guys like you hide some study materials?

Miss Chu, think about it. Youre so beautiful, and I havent done anything. Let alone those movies.

Thats true, but dont compare me to them.

They are actors too, with better acting skills than you.

If you mention this again, be careful; Ill talk to your mother.

Dont; tonight Ill download a few for us to enjoy together.

But just then, the QQ messenger suddenly rang, and Chu Qingchans eyes lit up as a profile picture with the alias Class Monitor Ji blinked.
