Yuli was a studious girl. Although it was winter break, she still maintained the habit of reading for a few hours every day. She and Lin Jin were completely different creatures.
If Lin Jin were to read those serious books, he would probably be hypnotized to sleep within half an hour. If he read them for an hour, he wouldn't even get through much before he'd be sound asleep.
Back in high school, there was a period when Lin Jin suffered from insomnia. During that time, he took advantage of this characteristic of his. He downloaded some serious professional books on his phone, and when he couldn't fall asleep, he would read for half an hour which was guaranteed to knock him out.
But this studious and well read girl, Yuli, actually fell in love with the rough guy Liu Shengqi? Moreover, it was the kind of rough and rugged kind that could easily pass for a middle aged man if he changed his clothes.
Perhaps because Liu Shengqi worked on construction sites for years, his skin was and dark and in poor condition, his face slightly chubby. Although you could say he was handsome, it was with very specific conditions.
In terms of appearance, Lin Chen was obviously more handsome than Liu Shengqi, and because he worked out, he was also more muscular. This Yuli didn’t like Lin Chen but fell for Liu Shengqi instead.
Could it be that Cheng Yuli’s type was just the pseudo middle aged uncle with a bit of a mature vibe? Although Lin Chen also looked like a serious and mature adult with his serious and expressionless face, it would be shattered the moment he spoke.
Lin Jin cleaned up the breakfast on the coffee table and sat on another sofa. He glanced at the morning news playing on TV and then looked at Yuli, who just casually had her legs on the coffee table.
If she realized her underwear was showing, she probably wouldn't be so casual.
"What do you think I should do to pursue Liu Shengqi?" Yuli tilted her head in distress, watching the news on TV, and asked Lin Jin, "Should I invite him for a meal or something?"
"I think if you go shopping for clothes with him, he might be quite happy" Lin Jin suggested expressionlessly, "Of course, you would have to pay for it."
"So you mean I should buy him clothes?"
"Exactly. Liu Shengqi is a bit of a chauvinist. If you give him clothes, even if he's not interested in you, he'll definitely agree to hang out the next time you ask" Lin Jin hesitated for a moment before continuing, "If the clothes you give him are worth less than 700 yuan, maybe he’ll happily accept them."
"Why?"
Because I scammed him out of 700 yuan worth of clothes! That coat was just washed and is still hanging outside to dry!
Of course, Lin Jin didn't dare to say that. Otherwise, Yuli might think that Liu Shengqi was really after Lin Jin. Even if that were true, Lin Jin still needed to give Yuli the right to pursue happiness, right? It would also help divert Liu Shengqi's attention. If Liu Shengqi really got hooked by Yuli, wouldn’t that make Lin Jin even happier?
"Because he's broke right now. I remember he got scammed out of seven or eight hundred yuan a few days ago" Lin Jin said with a straight face.
"Um." Yuli nodded twice, opening Taobao on her phone to find suitable clothes for Liu Shengqi. But after thinking about it some more, she frowned and said to Lin Jin, "But I'm also poor."
"I only get 2000 yuan a month for living expenses, and I don’t get any during winter break…" Yuli made a sad face, "I don't even have twenty yuan on me right now."
2000 is considered 'only'? Then what about me, who gets just 900 a month?
"Oh, I still have to go back and make breakfast." Yuli suddenly stood up. She smoothed her crumpled nightgown, said goodbye to Lin Jin, and hurriedly ran back to her own home.
So why is Yuli wearing a nightgown that only reaches her thighs in the middle of winter? Does she have maxed out cold resistance skills?
It was early in the morning and Lin Chen hadn’t gotten up yet. His parent’s had gone to pay New Year’s greetings and Yuli had just left as well. Lin Jin, having nothing to do, lay sprawled out on the sofa, held the remote in one hand and flipped through the different channels, looking for something interesting.
However, the morning programs didn't interest Lin Jin. It seemed that the only thing he could watch was the morning news.
As the news played on the TV, Lin Jin pulled out his phone to read a novel. But as he unlocked the screen, he saw the black cat he hadn't seen in two or three days sprawled on his phone's wallpaper.
"Yo!" The black cat looked cheerful. As soon as it saw Lin Jin, it stood up and greeted him, its black feline face crinkling into a smile. "I haven’t seen you for a few days. Do you miss me?!"
"No, not at all."
Lin Jin shook his head without hesitation.
This black cat always caused trouble whenever it was around. It would either arbitrarily assign temporary tasks, or verbally abuse Lin Jin when it was bored.
In any case, this cat is not a good cat. Whenever Lin Jin watched cute cat videos online, he always wonderd why other people's cats can be so cute and lovable, while the cat in his phone only knew how to be obnoxious.
"Come on, don't be like that!" The black cat leaned closer to the phone screen in a placating manner. "I'm in a good mood today. Want me to reveal what's in the New Year's gift package?"
"No, not at all."
Lin Jin continued to shake his head with a stern face.
Anyone with half a brain would know that the so-called New Year "big" gift package was definitely some kind of scam, right? Otherwise, why would there be quotes around the word "big"?
Who knows, this so-called big gift package might actually be a "big" gift package, as in a 'Wang Wang Big Gift Package'.
That would be such a great reward for Chinese New Year.
"Don't you want to know?" The black cat immediately put on a pitiful face. "I was planning to share some joy with you today, but if you don't want to listen..."
"Joy?"
Upon hearing Lin Jin take the bait, the black cat flaunted its tail and lifted its head, twisting its body like a dog in excitement. "I've hooked up with Keti! She agreed to go out for dinner with me tonight! I'm sure she’ll be completely charmed by me tonight! After tonight, I'll no longer be a single cat!"
"Pfft, you can't even pronounce their name properly yet you want to stop being a single cat." Lin Jin rolled his eyes and adjusted his lounging position on the sofa for more comfort.
"Oh! Just remembered." Seeing Lin Jin's indifferent demeanor, the black cat's beady eyes twinkled, and it grinned. "I noticed that your bodyguard might be in danger of being taken away, so I thought I'd give you a task."
"What the f*ck?!" Lin Jin couldn't keep his composure any longer and sat up abruptly.
"Swearing. That's a warning" the black cat continued to grin sleazily.
"If I kneel down for you, can you let me refuse this task?" Lin Jin propped his phone against a throw pillow, sat upright on the sofa, and then knelt down toward the phone without hesitation. He even bowed his head deeply, sincerely saying, "Great cat master, I was wrong."
"With the great cat master's handsomeness, getting a girlfriend is a piece of cake. It's just a female cat, right? A single sly smile from you can easily woo her, right?"
"Hmm, not bad, very sincere." The black cat nodded approvingly.
Lin Jin's eyes lit up, thinking the black cat was moved by his sincerity.
Then a temporary task notification popped up on his phone.
