"Whoa!"
"Xu Lin is amazing!"
Lei Haolong, with trembling hands, excitedly typed and quickly sent it out.
He was the first in the class group to comment on this matter.
Then, various people eagerly shared their opinions.
"Is Yu Xinyan at Xu Lin's house?"
"Yu Xinyan, are you and Xu Lin dating?"
"When will you make it official?"
In no time, the class group messages exceeded a hundred, with everyone intensely discussing.
Among them were many disappointed guys secretly sighing in regret.
Yu Xinyan was practically the ideal girl for almost every guy.
She was beautiful, had grace, and was a top academic achiever.
It seemed like when Lady Nuwa created humans, everyone else was a subpar product she whipped up, whereas Yu Xinyan was her carefully crafted masterpiece.
She seemed blessed with all the best, like the bright moon in the sky surrounded by stars.
At their high school, not just in their class, but even other classes and grades had countless guys secretly crushing on Yu Xinyan.
People always wondered, who would Yu Xinyan's boyfriend be?
Now, the situation seemed clear.
It turned out to be Xu Lin!
Xu Lin wasn't a standout figure in high school; he was just handsome, decent at basketball, but struggled academically to meet the college admission score. In this top provincial high school, that score was considered low, and his future didn't seem too promising.
Not to mention, he often sneaked off to internet cafes, and once, after staying out all night, he was caught by the principal and publicly reprimanded across the whole school.
Xu Lin clearly wasn't a good student.
Why him?
The guys couldn't understand this.
Was it just because Xu Lin was handsome?
But there were other guys in school who were both handsome and academically strong.
While the guys were puzzled, the most upset was Fei.
Zhao Yifei felt like his world was crumbling.
He had just thought about showing off his driving skills, and imagined Yu Xinyan seeking his advice on getting a license, with their relationship gradually warming up into sweet romance.
But then he found out Yu Xinyan was already at Xu Lin's house.
Would Xu Lin do something to Yu Xinyan?
Zhao Yifei was terrified, thinking Xu Lin wasn't reliable, often sneaking off to go online, caught by the principal and publicly reprimanded, previously fighting with some punks wildly and beating them into the hospital, clearly violent, with many female friends suggesting he wasn't devoted.
Xu Lin was unaware of the class group discussion.
He was busy cooking instant noodles.
And what about Yu Xinyan?
She didn't pay much attention to the class group. After sending a message, she put down her phone and went over to watch Xu Lin make the noodles.
He had a method for cooking instant noodles: first boiling water, adding dried mushrooms and white fungus, finishing with the noodles and seasonings.
Watching Xu Lin sprinkle pepper and add oyster sauce, Yu Xinyan couldn't help but ask, "Xu Lin, is this healthy?"
"Haven't you heard that big mushrooms eat small mushrooms, small mushrooms act as supplements?"
[A bowl of instant noodles that will energize you.]
Xu Lin invited Yu Xinyan over, "Yanyan, give it a try."
"I'll give it a try!"
Xu Lin handed her a pair of chopsticks. Yu Xinyan leaned over, picked up some noodles, blew on them to cool, then ate.
"It's quite tasty."
Yu Xinyan said, "But you can't eat it often, it's not healthy."
"I think it's fine."
Xu Lin sat there, quickly eating away.
Pop!
He casually opened a can of cola.
"Oh, right."
Seeing Xu Lin open a can of cola, Yu Xinyan remembered she brought the Warhorse drink's "One Yuan Enjoy Again" cap along.
"Xu Lin, here you go."
"Just leave it on the table."
"Okay."
Yu Xinyan sat there, resting her right cheek, her eyes blinking as she watched Xu Lin eat his instant noodles.
"Xu Lin, which school will you apply to?"
Yu Xinyan asked from the side.
"With my score, what school could I apply to? Of course, I'll prioritize the city."
"Which city will you choose?"
"I'll stay in the south, go to Jiangdu, more opportunities in big cities."
"Oh!"
Yu Xinyan quietly noted Jiangdu, thinking she'd go to Jiangdu too.
Moreover, Jiangdu had a Jiangdu University, nationally ranked alongside Kyoto University, on par.
"Then what major will you choose?"
"I'll see!"
Xu Lin wasn't concerned about his major, as long as it was okay. Besides, he might do something different after graduating anyway. He planned to start exploring various things in college, maybe making something successful. He didn't want to work for others; he wanted to work for himself.
Xu Lin wasn't one to play by the rules.
Quickly.
[After eating and drinking, energy +8.]
No idea if it's because of the system or not, but you know, before when I was full, Xu Lin still needed a rest for a while, but now, when I'm full, I'm even more energetic.
System?
Xu Lin murmured to himself silently.
[Character: Xu Lin]
[Wealth: 5293.24 yuan]
[Reputation: None.]
[Status: None.]
[Ability: Divine Penmanship.]
[Items: None.]
[Physical Condition: Excellent.]
[Overall Evaluation: Just average, apart from having an outstanding physical condition compared to ordinary people, good looks that can be considered handsome, nothing really remarkable.]
[Current State: Energetic.]
Xu Lin just noticed that there was a new "Current State" section on the panel.
"Reputation, status, and items are still empty, and the overall evaluation is just average, I need to explore a bit more."
Xu Lin pondered.
After eating, Xu Lin was always planning to leave the instant noodle pot to wash later, but Yanyan took the initiative to wash it for him.
When Yanyan came out, she heard the sound of gunfight games coming from Xu Lin's room.
Yanyan walked in.
"Xu Lin, what's so fun about games?"
Yanyan sat on Xu Lin's bed, crossing her legs.
Xu Lin: "You're a girl, you don't understand the appeal of gunfight games to guys."
Then, Xu Lin added: "I had a gun skin in this game once, I sold it for over eight thousand yuan, you can make money playing games, see, isn't that awesome?"
"Awesome!"
Yanyan wasn't too surprised.
She just felt that even though she was there, Xu Lin kept playing games.
Yanyan felt a bit dull, am I not more important than games?
She simply lay down.
With Xu Lin's scent on the bed, Yanyan's heart began to race; she thought Xu Lin's smell was nice, and she couldn't help but breathe more deeply.
"Don't get snot all over my bed!"
Xu Lin suddenly blurted out.
"Xu Lin!"
Yanyan was a bit speechless; she'd known Xu Lin for six whole years and still couldn't grasp Xu Lin's line of thought.
Xu Lin laughed out loud.
Yanyan sat there, puffing out her cheeks.
Buzz buzz...
Just then.
Xu Lin's phone vibrated again.
Xu Lin took a glance.
"Uncle, what's up?"
"Has Yanyan come back yet?"
Yu Jianhua asked, though daughters aren't easy to keep at home, dads really worry Xu Lin might do something.
Xu Lin's not the honest type, he could strip your daughter's clothes off when you're not paying attention.
Xu Lin simply handed the phone to Yanyan.
"Hello, Dad..."
"Not coming back yet? Planning to stay overnight?"
"Dad, I know."
Yanyan pouted and ended the call.
Yanyan said sadly, "Xu Lin, I have to go back."
"Okay."
Xu Lin sniped cleanly, taking down the last enemy.
Then he turned around, just in time to see Yanyan getting up from his bed, Yanyan stretched lazily.
The motion caused her clothes to move significantly, making her figure appear even more striking, truly mountains from a side view.
Seeing such an impressive figure, Yanyan really doesn't reveal herself easily.
Xu Lin, bold and cheeky, couldn't resist saying: "Yanyan, how old are you?"
"Eighteen, aren't I a month older than you? You saw my ID before."
Yanyan didn't think much of it but noticed where Xu Lin's gaze landed.
Yanyan's face turned red, and she said coyly, "Xu Lin, you perv!"
"Just asking."
"Won't tell you! I'm leaving!"
Yanyan put her hands behind her back, and Xu Lin saw her off, watching her leave happily.
"Xu Lin, remember, tomorrow we're signing up for driving school together!"
"Ok!"
Xu Lin saw Yanyan off.
He was alone in the room, but the lingering scent of Yanyan remained, drifting over the young man's nose, encircling his heart, eventually disturbing his thoughts.
Buzz buzz!
Then, a message from Yanyan came.
It simply had a letter, nothing else.
"E!"
