I Really Didn’t Want to Increase My Favorability!

Chapter 144

It was after 3 o’clock in the afternoon when Xu Lin finally arrived home. Although he hadn’t done any physical labor, he felt completely exhausted.

It seemed like his salty fish gene had kicked in again. He had planned to shoot a video on the way home, but now all he wanted to do was sleep.

“No, I can’t give in to laziness. I need to get some work done, or maybe I’ll go check out the art pieces that Hei Yuanliang gave me.”

He carefully entered the bedroom with a bag, then locked the door from the inside, licked his lips, and put in the CD.

Speaking of before his rebirth, during his university days, most of the computers he assembled didn’t even have optical drives, and the era of CDs had completely passed.

After waiting for a moment like this, he opened the player, plugged in his headphones, took a deep breath, and then heard a familiar melody.

“Fuck! Why is it Kamen Rider Black?! Hei Yuanliang, what are you up to?”

But after waiting for half a minute, the following scenes began to change, and Xu Lin immediately calmed down, as if he had wrongly blamed Hei Yuanliang.

There’s even a special opening to prevent social deaths, but after watching for over ten minutes, he started fast-forwarding. This… sigh~

I don’t know if it’s because I’ve seen too much or because I’ve grown up with Qin Yunhe, but I don’t feel much about these trivial matters anymore.

Xu Lin turned off the player, took out the CD, prepared to insert the next one, but then he heard a knock on the door from outside.

Xu Lin quickly took out the CD, then sandwiched it back into the book and placed it on the table, hurrying towards the door.

“At this time, both Dad and Mom are still at work, right? So, it it Chu Fengyi and the others?”

Xu Lin opened the door, and indeed, it was Chu Fengyi and Ji Yun, but both of them were wearing different clothes from the ones they had on in the morning.

The two sisters were dressed alike, wearing the same work-style jackets and stylish work pants. Ji Yun’s jacket was coffee-colored, while Chu Fengyi’s was army green.

But both of them gave off a cool feeling, even though Chu Fengyi didn’t tie her hair into a ponytail.

“It looks good, these clothes! Of course, it’s also because the person wearing it is good-looking.”

“As expected of a scumbag, he knows how to praise people. But then again it seems my taste is still pretty good.” Chu Fengyi said as she wrapped her arms around Ji Yun’s waist.

“Just now, sister Ji Yun said it might not be suitable and advised against buying.”

“I have never worn this style before.” Ji Yun actually didn’t just think it didn’t look good…

“Oh right, Ji Yun and I bought one for you too. Want to try it?”

“A jacket?”

Xu Lin never expected that the two sisters would actually buy clothes for him. To be honest, for so many years, only his mother had ever bought clothes for him.

Later, there was another, Chu Qingchan, but recently she’s been busy and hasn’t had time to shop for him either.

But if in the future, all 12 Zodiac sisters bought clothes for him, it seems like he wouldn’t have to worry about not having anything to wear anymore, and he would have all kinds of styles.

“Give it a try!”

“Okay.”

He quickly took off his coat, and Ji Yun took out a dark blue work jacket from her bag, similar in style to theirs.

Then the two beautiful girls helped him roll up the sleeves, and he smoothly put it on.

He suddenly felt that instead of nice clothes, having two beautiful girls help him change would make him even happier.

Before he could finish feeling happy, Chu Fengyi gave him a punch and said, “Stand up straight and stand over there. Let’s see if it looks good!”

“Oh.”

He walked to the edge of the balcony, Chu Fengyi and Ji Yun took a careful look, then sighed.

“It seems like the pants don’t quite match,” Ji Yun thought it would be better to wear a pair of cargo pants.

“But as for the jacket, it’s still okay, what do you think about wearing it?”

“Just right, the fabric is pretty good too. It doesn’t look as stiff as it seems.”

“Well, it’s still 5,000 yuan after all.”

“Ahem! Now I see why Ji Yun didn’t let you buy it. You’re a little princess, but we can’t bear to spend 5,000 on clothes you know.”

“Already bought it, so just wear it. I saw you wearing a shirt that cost over 10,000 that day.”

“That was bought by your sister.”

“Oh, look at Mr. Xu, experiencing the joys of having a rich wife, huh.”

“It’s true. If I had had such an opportunity before, I would definitely have taken it easy.”

However, the existence of the Zodiac System has nurtured his big dreams; otherwise, he would have simply sought out a wealthy woman, enjoyed life, and idled away his time.

“I’m buying you clothes, mainly to make you look better in videos. Don’t wear those old-fashioned clothes of yours on camera; it’s too embarrassing.”

Chu Fengyi also really dislikes Xu Lin’s clothing style, it’s not about the price, but the feeling.

A young man under 20, why would he mostly wear black, grey, and white, with the brightest being blue? It feels too dull and old-fashioned.

“Alright, why do you sound like my mom? But thanks, next time I’ll go shopping for clothes with you guys.”

“To thank you, let me give you a hug!”

Xu Lin also smiled and jokingly opened his arms, heading towards Chu Fengyi for a hug.

Sure enough, Chu Fengyi aimed a kick at him, so he quickly changed direction and ended up holding Miss Ji Yun in his arms.

“Miss Ji Yun is still the best.”

“Mm… mm.” Ji Yun suddenly blushed, but still reached out her hand to hold onto his waist.

Then nearby Chu Fengyi interjected sourly, “Hey hey, Ji Yun! Don’t spoil this guy, he always takes advantage of others.”

“I didn’t~ Alright, I should get to work now, and you two can help me out. I can’t do it myself, I need hands.”

“Have you bought the equipment yet?”

“I haven’t bought a camera yet, so I’ll start with using my phone. I’ve got the audio equipment ready, though; I decided to go for something of better quality.”

“Are you planning to sing for the audience?” Ji Yun and Chu Fengyi still remembered Xu Lin’s soulful voice.

“Sort of. I plan to sing while cooking, so if you could just hold onto my phone, that would be great.”

“Sure.” Ji Yun also feels quite curious about the video shooting process.

“When I post the video, I can credit you guys.”

“Alright, you get ready then, and maybe change your pants, these ones look awful.”

“Okay.”

Xu Lin also headed towards the bedroom. When he saw a beautiful girl, he suddenly felt much better. It seems that the best cure for being lazy is to look at beautiful girls more often.

After changing into a pair of jeans, Xu Lin sorted out his phone and collar microphone. He didn’t need the recording microphone temporarily; this time he was going to sing without it, and he would use it next time when he specifically recorded songs.

“Have you changed your clothes?”

Suddenly, his door was pushed open, and Chu Fengyi poked her head in, followed by Ji Yun entering quietly.

“Chu Fengyi, I haven’t answered yet. What if I haven’t changed properly?”

“You’re a guy, what are you afraid of?” Chu Fengyi replied confidently, having seen it all in the past life anyway.

“…By the way, Monitor Ji, this isn’t your first time here, so why are you nervous?”

“It’s not nervousness, it’s…” Ji Yun gestured towards the underwear and toilet paper on the bedside table not far away from them.

Xu Lin hurriedly lunged forward, grabbing the underwear and stuffing it beside the blanket, his face flushing slightly.

“Ahem, I’m ready, let’s go shoot.” Xu Lin handed his phone to Ji Yun.

“Okay, do I need to prepare anything?” Ji Yun was also shooting for the first time.

“Don’t focus on my face, just follow my hand movements, we’ll figure out the rest later.”

“Got it.”

“I’m not going, Ji Yun should be fine on her own, right? I’ve been wandering around the mall for hours, feeling a bit tired. I’ll watch a movie and rest for a while.” Chu Fengyi said.

“Okay,” Xu Lin nodded, following Ji Yun out.

But as soon as they stepped outside, he felt like he had forgotten something.
