Chapter 244

After walking around Qinglong Lake, Xu Lin felt surprisingly energized.

He opened his system interface and saw that his physical stats had increased to 6.7.

To put this in perspective, an average adult male’s physique would be around 6.0, with 7.0 indicating a more robust and fit individual.

Last time he checked, he was at 6.4, which was just half a month ago.

“Could this strange feeling be spiritual energy?” Xu Lin wondered. “But that seems too far-fetched. This isn’t a world where spiritual energy revival is a thing, right?”

However, considering the things given by the system and his past and future life memories with Chu Qingchan and Chu Fengyi, he was left confused.

He shared past life memories with Chu Fengyi, but why did he have them with Ji Yun as well?

It wasn’t from the same era, but another past life memory. Why was this so coincidental?

Two of the girls he met just happened to be his past life wives? Was this a fateful coincidence or an inevitable destiny?

Thinking this way, the world having some mystical elements didn’t seem entirely impossible.

“You’re zoning out again, Mr. Xu,” Ji Yun’s voice snapped him back to reality.

“Class Monitor Ji, don’t mimic how your Sister Chu speaks,” Xu Lin chuckled.

“Haha, by the way, why does Sister Chu call you Mr. Xu?” Ji Yun had been curious about this for a while. Was it some secret endearing nickname?

“It’s nothing special. When we first met, I found out she was a celebrity, so I called her Superstar Chu instead of her full name. Generally, in formal settings, people like to use Mr. or Ms. as a sign of respect for the first meeting. So, she naturally called me Mr. Xu in return.”

“Is that so? I thought it was a term of endearment. Isn’t it common for wives to refer to their husbands as ‘my husband’?” Ji Yun teased.

“Class Monitor Ji, you’re overthinking it,” Xu Lin waved his hand, though he secretly suspected Chu Qingchan might have meant it that way. Since she never admitted it, he just played dumb.

“I’m starving, let’s go eat,” the girls said, realizing their hunger after the walk.

“Okay,” Xu Lin replied as they headed toward the dining area. Nearby, a little boy tugged on his dad’s arm.

“What is it?”

“Mom’s back.”

“Oh,” the man quickly put on sunglasses and looked away from Ji Yun and her friends.

A tall woman approached, pinching her son’s cheek. “Let’s go get some fried chicken.”

“Okay.”

“Did Dad do anything wrong?”

“Don’t be silly, what would I do wrong~?”

“Don’t talk!”

But Su Qingwan and Qin Yunhe, being older, didn’t choose, leaving it to the guest and the child, Liu Qinnuan.

“Waiter, would one be enough for a person?” Liu Qinnuan asked.

“For girls, yes. For guys, maybe not.”

“Then three pork, four beef, and a bowl of digestive porridge each. Is that okay?”

“Sounds good, let’s get some skewers too, a mix of everything with meat,” Xu Lin nodded.

“Got it, please wait a few minutes.”

The waiter smiled, noted their order, and quickly headed to the kitchen.

“That waiter didn’t even look at us just now,” Su Qingwan whispered once he was gone.

“What do you mean? Did someone bother you?” Xu Lin, who had been taking pictures, thought he had missed something.

“No, it’s just that usually, people stare at us because we’re pretty.”

“Stop flattering yourself,” Qin Yunhe playfully smacked her friend’s arm.

“But it’s true! People always take a second look when they see us.”

“Everyone loves to look at beautiful women,” Xu Lin remarked, placing his camera on the table and selecting shots.

“But it seems someone prefers looking at his camera. Have you had enough of looking at pretty women?”

“I could never get enough of looking at you all,” Xu Lin replied.

“Oh, here we go again with Xu the poet,” Qin Yunhe teased her husband without holding back.

“But that waiter didn’t even glance at us. Maybe he likes guys,” Liu Qinnuan suddenly speculated.

“Just because he didn’t look at us doesn’t mean...” Qin Yunhe found the idea that the waiter was gay a bit far-fetched and thought he was just being polite.

“His phone was hanging around his neck, and the case said, ‘I’m gay, girls don’t bother,'” Su Qingwan added, making everyone pause for a moment.

“He’s... a brave person.”

“And hardworking...” Xu Lin noted, watching the waiter bustle between tables. He was reminded of a diligent waitress from a bowl restaurant they had been to before. He needed someone with a good attitude and strong work ethic.

“Xu Lin, don’t be lead astray!” Su Qingwan noticed Xu Lin staring at the waiter and raised her voice.

“Teacher Su, what are you thinking? I was just realizing that as a new boss, I need to be aware.”

“Of how to poach good employees!”
