I Really Didn’t Want to Increase My Favorability!

Chapter 120



Chapter 120

At noon, Xu Lin escaped from school looking tired.

He had been through morning self-study and several classes until the break time.

Whenever there were no teachers around, a group of people would surround him, and he would start narrating the filming process of the past few days like a storyteller.

Of course, there were also many weird gossip questions, but he could feel the strong popularity of Chu Qingchan.

Many people mentioned her, but few asked about Liu Qinnuan, the child star with great acting skills.

Adorable is completely worthless in the face of being sexy, their combat power difference is too much.

Although Chu Qingchan isn’t really in the sexy category, but fair skin, beautiful appearance, and long legs are enough, and she did really well this time.

Although there are still some people criticizing, saying it’s edited, it must have taken dozens of takes to get it right.

Then the director slapped those criticisms in the face by revealing the actual shooting time, and there are also many students from the school who can attest that it was indeed shot very quickly.

Originally, when it was time for the third class to end, most of the students in the class calmed down and stopped bothering him.

Then students from other classes came over, leaving him to deal with them helplessly.

After leaving school, his throat felt dry and sore.

Fortunately, once outside the school, nobody blocked him anymore, except for some girls who approached him to ask for his QQ number.

Many girls in the class also gave him a lot of gifts, as if suddenly realizing how handsome he is.

While I’m just ordinary with an 8-point charm, you guys couldn’t see it before.

Actually, it’s not their fault. Xu Lin also understood that in school, girls don’t necessarily like the most handsome guy.

“Cheer up, Xu the superstar,” Ji Yun mocked him.

“I hate being famous the most, it feels so tiring…”

“Most people can’t achieve this level of fame. What I mean is, with so many girls fawning over you, doesn’t it feel good to be popular?”

“Are you jealous?”

“I’m just watching out for you on behalf of sister Chu.”

“Monitor Ji, you’ve finally found a shield.”

“That’s not it at all~!”

“Alright, alright.”

The boy and girl walked along the path towards home like this.

Although it was already November, there was sunshine at noon. They were dressed warmly enough, so it felt comfortable.

Passersby and students glanced at them from time to time.

After all, the two of them together were like a perfect couple, attracting attention effortlessly.

Fortunately, some students who knew them didn’t make a fuss, just greeted them casually.

As they walked past the first intersection and reached the crossroads, Ji Yun suddenly said, “We’ll need about 40 minutes to go back, right?”

“Mhm.”

“How about we don’t go back for lunch then?”

Xu Lin was somewhat surprised that Class Monitor Ji also had times when she didn’t want to go home.

“Give my parents some space. Hopefully, by the time I go back in the evening, everything will be resolved.”

“Where should we go then, Class Monitor Ji?”

“I want to check out the new book café.”

“Is it far? It’s about ten minutes by bus.”

“Then let’s go. Wherever you want to go, I’ll accompany you.”

The two of them took the bus to the book café on the east side of the city.

It was called a book café, but in reality, it wasn’t as formal as what you see on TV. It was just a café with some books, or rather, a Western-style fast food restaurant.

“What would you like to eat?”

“I want to eat fried chicken, never had it before.”

“How is it possible you’ve never had fried chicken?”

“Really, my parents always said fried chicken and burgers are unhealthy.”

“But why do you want to eat it today? Rebel phase?”

“Yeah, I’m rebellious enough. Half a year ago, I definitely wouldn’t have been alone with a guy, let alone be late together, eat together, and even think about dating.”

Ji Yun, despite saying so, felt quite cheerful, then boldly reached out her hand and grabbed his hand.

Xu Lin was stunned, thinking that Monitor Ji is really bold today, and he followed along as their fingers intertwined, leading her towards the ordering counter.

In the end, the two of them chose a super-sized family bucket. Since Monitor Ji had never tried it before, they decided to try a bit of everything.

Although it was labeled as super-sized, it wasn’t actually that big, just looked large in the pictures. They were both satisfied if they could eat their fill.

Two people found a seat by the window and started eating, but after just one piece of chicken and an egg tart, one of them felt full.

Although Xu Lin didn’t have a big appetite, it wasn’t this small either, so he grabbed a chicken drumstick.

A minute later, despite forcing himself to eat, he felt very bloated.

“What’s wrong? Aren’t you hungry?”

“Not very hungry, you go ahead and eat,” Xu Lin said.

Is there something wrong with my body?

Let’s not tell Ji Yun yet; she’ll worry even more. Let’s see how things go tonight before deciding.

Speaking of health, last time I left the Healing Pearl at home. Maybe I could try using it to heal Uncle Bai’s leg, even if it’s broken.

Perhaps Auntie Yao could be saved too, even though she’s resigned to her fate. Saving a life would be a good thing.

But since she’s okay for now, we can’t say anything. Belief is one thing, but it’s another to give someone hope only to bring them despair.

Then, before he could even finish processing the despair in his mind, Xu Lin encountered his own despair: he noticed a knock on the glass window to his left.

He turned to look and saw a black girl wearing a baseball cap staring straight at him. He blinked in disbelief before recognizing her.

“Sister Qin?”

The next moment, he was even more bewildered.

He realized he was wearing his school uniform, and the situation with Su Qingwan could cause trouble!

Ji Yun is still on the opposite side!

Oh my goodness, what a coincidence! I’m such an idiot!

Before he could catch his breath, the other party had already circled around to the doorway and was walking towards them.

“Xu Lin, what’s wrong?”

“Sister Qin.”

“The policewoman?”

“Yeah.”

“But why are you so nervous, did you make a mistake?”

“No… it’s hard to explain, let’s not rush into it for now. I’ll tell you when we have time.”

With Xu Lin’s words, Ji Yun also became a little puzzled.

But just as Xu Lin was about to be exposed by Qin Yunhe, Ji Yun also questioned him about his close relationship with the teacher.

But Qin Yunhe then sat directly beside Xu Lin and said unexpectedly, “Xu Lin, I’ve found the evidence.”

“Hmm? What… evidence?”

“The evidence against the fraudulent company.”

At that moment, Qin Yunhe seemed somewhat excited, as it was her first time completing such a unique task on her own.

“I forgot about contacting you, and also about the matter with the company in Dongcheng.”

“You were supposed to help your brother, but when I said I would take care of it, I really did.”

“Sorry, you said you found evidence, but didn’t they even bother to disguise it?”

“Of course, there was a disguise. But I found it through this.”

She took out a small white object, similar to a button, and Xu Lin didn’t recognize what it was, but he roughly guessed it was related to eavesdropping.

“I stayed there for the morning, experiencing the work. On the surface, it’s a small company doing online media. It’s one of those marketing accounts you see on the internet.”

“I placed a listening device in their office, and before leaving, I secretly took it back.”

“When I checked it, I didn’t expect to obtain some direct evidence that could incriminate them.”

“The two of them talked about a lot of things, thinking that no one was listening, but actually, they directly exposed the roof of their own home!”

Qin Yunhe also became more and more excited as she spoke.

After all, she felt that she was about to achieve her first accomplishment, and her father would surely acknowledge her choice, right!

“So, are you ready to report back to the office and prepare for action?”

“Mmm.” She immediately nodded.

But Xu Lin could tell from her wandering eyes that this girl definitely wanted to act on her own and probably wouldn’t say a word to the office.

Qin Yunhe noticed Xu Lin’s expression, which seemed to indicate disbelief in what she was saying.

She quickly cleared her throat and changed the subject.

“Um, about you wearing a school uniform, what’s the situation with that? I didn’t expect… didn’t expect it at all. Wanwan didn’t tell me the details, so I am stumbling over my words.”

Xu Lin hadn’t expected the other party’s thought process to be like this.

He originally thought the other party would see through him as a fake boyfriend, but this policewoman seemed to have imagined an entirely different scenario?

But when Su Qingwan was mentioned, Ji Yun, who was drinking and eating fries, lifted her head and looked at him, her eyes seemingly conveying the message that she would report back to Chu Qingchan.

Xu Lin also didn’t want to hide it anymore.

After all, the main purpose of deceiving with Su Qingwan was to prevent her parents from pressuring her about her emotional matters.

It should be okay to tell her best friend, right? Qin Yunhe doesn’t seem like the type to talk carelessly, after all, professionalism is at stake.

Realizing how difficult it is for her close friend, surely she will understand and help to keep it a secret together.

The most important thing is that Qin Yunhe is also one of the twelve certified beauties recognized by the system. Without explaining it clearly, how can I proceed with my plan?

Hehe~ I am indeed a clever little devil!
