Chapter 239

“Dear Miss Liu Qinnuan, what a coincidence.”

“Yes, dear Xu Lin, didn’t you say you had something to do? And now you’re here secretly playing with two pretty sisters~”

Xu Lin couldn’t help but laugh at Liu Qinnuan’s tone and gently patted her head.

“Everyone knows I’m out today with these two ladies; you’re the only one who didn’t know.”

“Really?”

Liu Qinnuan glanced at Ji Yun, whom she believed liked Xu Lin, but Ji Yun nodded in agreement.

“That’s my fault then. By the way, the Nine Dragon Relic Pagoda is quite beautiful, though we can’t go inside today.”

“You can only go in during certain times of the year; normally, you can just admire it from outside.”

“Is that so? Did you all make a wish?”

To be honest, she thought Ji Yun and the others would take her shopping. She didn’t have high expectations for the malls in a small city. But surprisingly, once they left the city, the surroundings were quite beautiful.

Although there weren’t any special flowers or plants, the natural growth was lush and pleasant to look at.

“We made our wishes and even got a fan.” Xu Lin opened the fan, and Liu Qinnuan immediately leaned in.

“Can I see? Just now, none of us guessed correctly. It turned out to be an African hyena; who could guess that?”

“This is the twelve zodiac signs. Since he painted many animals, I guessed one with many animals, and it turned out right.”

“We didn’t bring a bag, so you hold onto it.”

Xu Lin put the fan into Ji Yun’s small backpack and then took the bag off her hands.

Seeing many boyfriends around carrying bags for their girlfriends made Ji Yun feel a bit happy.

“Mine.”

But as soon as Xu Lin put on the bag, Su Qingwan poked him and handed him her purse.

“You can carry that in your hand.”

“...”

Su Qingwan just looked at him without saying anything, so Xu Lin had no choice but to take it. Then Qin Yunhe handed him her small crossbody bag, and Liu Qinnuan gave him her handbag too.

Suddenly, Xu Lin was holding four bags.

Fortunately, Bai Xiaoxiao didn’t bring a bag. Since the other bags only contained phones and wallets, Xu Lin put all three into Ji Yun’s backpack.

Inside, he found two bottles of water, some compressed biscuits, and chocolate.

“You guys really just came here to hike, huh?”

“Yes, and then we’ll go to the shopping street to buy a necklace for Senior Bai.”

“I really don’t need it. The school doesn’t allow jewelry anyway.”

“Hey, getting shown up by a student doesn’t feel good, does it?”

“No, it doesn’t. Does it feel good for you? She doesn’t even see you as a threat!”

“That’s because I haven’t been discovered by the enemy yet.”

“If your relationship with Xu Lin gets exposed, it will be a mess~”

“What do I have to fear? The advantage is mine.”

“You’re such a braggart...”

Su Qingwan looked at her friend and then thought for a moment. No matter how many people liked Xu Lin, the decision ultimately lay with him. Qin Yunhe was much further along in her relationship with him than anyone else. When she said the advantage was hers, she might be right.

“You could try to make progress yourself. I won’t stop you.”

“Qin Yunhe, why are you so shameless!”

Su Qingwan blushed instantly. To be honest, she’d hardly watched any romantic movies, having only a surface-level understanding of such things.

“It’s a normal thing; why avoid it?”

“I’m not avoiding it! It’s just that people usually worry about their boyfriends cheating, but you’re actually encouraging me to pursue him?”

“Aren’t we on the same team?”

“Qin Yunhe, you’ve become so brazen lately. Fine, I’ll go for it, but don’t blame me later!”

“I won’t blame you. Go ahead.”

Qin Yunhe laughed and pushed Su Qingwan towards Xu Lin. Startled, he quickly embraced her, feeling the softness of her arm, quite different from Qin Yunhe’s.

“She pushed me.”

“Qin Yunhe, you two can argue all you want, but don’t get physical.”

“I didn’t get physical. She said...”

“Shut up!” Su Qingwan, blushing, interrupted her friend and then took Xu Lin’s arm.

“Teacher Su, what are you doing?”

“Aren’t you my boyfriend? Even if it’s fake, can’t I hold your arm?”

“Sure, hold on as much as you like.”

Qin Yunhe watched the two of them walking ahead, arm in arm, sensing a hint of danger.

II was just joking around; Su Qingwan wouldn’t actually... She can’t be that foolish, right?
