"I'm not trying to keep you in suspense. It's just that it's a little difficult to say it. Su Zi might not do it."
On the way home, Lin Bai saw that his brother was feeling uncomfortable, so he could only explain himself.
Hearing this, Xu Kun suddenly thought of something, and an ambiguous smile appeared on his face.
"Good lad, I didn't know that you were so good at making fun of others."
Xu Kun smacked his lips. "Alright, since it involves the privacy of you two, I won't ask further... Quick, let me touch the gold medal!"
Lin Bai looked at Xu Kun's perverted expression and thought that he must have misunderstood. He instinctively wanted to explain the situation.
However…
Xu Kun's mind was full of dirty thoughts. If Lin Bai tried to make things clear, he would make it worse.
As such, he did not bother explaining and just acknowledged it. He then threw the medal over.
The medal was made of pure gold. It was heavy and valuable.
Xu Kun could not bear to let go.
"It turns out that holding a valuable item can really increase one's confidence and sense of achievement!"
"It'll also increase the chances of being robbed."
After Lin Bai said that, he even gave Xu Kun a kick.
The city was not as peaceful as he had imagined.
The impact of the increase in strength was, of course, the increase in the probability of violent incidents.
If one wanted to avoid being the main character in the news, one had to keep a low profile.
At the very least, Lin Bai had to keep his wealth a secret.
Only then did Xu Kun come back to his senses. He covered the medal with both hands and carefully observed it.
Lin Bai was testing the gravity function of the elite training suit.
After a series of adjustments, it was finally set at 40 times the normal gravity.
This was just right for Lin Bai.
There was a sense of burden when he walked, but it was not to the extent that he would lose much physical strength, so much so that he would not be able to deal with unexpected situations.
They did not run into any accidents on the way home and arrived at the entrance of their neighborhood smoothly.
"I won't be going to your house for dinner."
Xu Kun returned the gold medal and waved his hand. "I'm going to bring back the good news of getting fourth place in the joint mock exam to my parents. See you tomorrow!"
Lin Bai did not stop him and waved goodbye.
To be honest, he did not expect this.
His good brother who had been showing off all this time could get such a good result.
Although Lin Bai had been assisting him from the side, he had also put in a lot of effort. Xu Kun relied on his ingenious idea of exploiting the loopholes in the rules to get through the first round of the draw.
In general, a personal effort still played a very important role.
If Xu Kun's family knew about this, they would probably worship his precious son.
After all, there were only ten spots in their city for the Elite Special Training Base.
With such an opportunity, Xu Kun's future achievements would not be bad no matter how lousy he was.
The star of tomorrow!
Lin Bai was genuinely happy as he hummed a little tune and walked into the neighborhood.
In the end, he was stopped by two beautiful women outside his new villa.
"May I ask if you know Lin Bai?"
'Hm?'
Lin Bai looked up.
The girl who had just spoken had an otherworldly temperament and a beautiful face. She was not inferior to Su Zi.
The other one was much inferior, but she was dressed in work clothes, so she should be an assistant.
'Why were they looking for me?'
"I don't."
Lin Bai did not want to ask, nor did he want to know. He was not like Xu Kun, who would freeze when he saw a beautiful woman.
After replying with a blank expression, Lin Bai took out his key and walked into his courtyard.
He walked to the door, opened it, entered, and closed it in one go!
"..."
The beautiful assistant dojo master of Eve was once again at a loss. She could not help but look worried and sigh.
It had been an entire day.
It was not easy for her to find out the rough location of Lin Bai's new place. She had asked many families, but they all gave cold answers.
She did not get any information at all.
This was a huge blow to her.
...
In the villa, Mr. and Mrs. Lin stood at the door and looked at each other when they saw their son changing his shoes.
"Mm..."
Mr. Lin cleared his throat and asked tentatively, "Son, did you bully some girl outside?"
"I didn't." Lin Bai was confused. "When did I…"
He choked on his words halfway.
'Does Su Zi count?
'Maybe... Perhaps... He only teased her?'
Mr.s Lin saw that his son's expression was off and immediately asked, "Tell me the truth! Did that lady outside come to settle scores with you? You're not going to take responsibility after bullying her?"
"No."
Lin Bai answered honestly, "She asked me if I knew Lin Bai and I said I didn't."
"..."
Mr. and Mrs. Lin's expressions turned stern.
"Son, if you didn't do anything bad, why don't you dare to admit it?"
Mr. Lin crossed his arms in front of his chest. His eyes were as sharp as knives. "She must be your girlfriend's family. Tell me honestly, is your girlfriend pretty? What's her family background? Does she deserve you?"
"That's right, baby." Mrs. Lin urged Lin Bai seriously, "Tell us so that we can understand. If it's appropriate, I'll get your dad to prepare the betrothal gifts. You just have to ask for her hand in marriage when the time comes."
Lin Bai was dumbfounded.
'Why does it feel like something isn't right?
'A trial turned into a marriage proposal?'
Lin Bai could not keep up with his parents' train of thought for a moment, so he could only voice his concerns.
"I really don't have a girlfriend. I said that just now because I was worried that they have bad intentions and are trying to harm me."
When his parents heard this, they looked nervous.
'That's right!
'Our son is no longer the same as before.
'Some people must be jealous.
'It's normal to attract trouble.'
So, Lin Bai's parents vigilantly moved closer to the peephole and peeked.
The beautiful woman had not left yet, and they could hear her conversation with her assistant clearly.
"Assistant Dojo Master, what should we do now?"
"Continue the search! We have to find Lin Bai! No matter the cost!"
"Then I'll get the disciples of the dojo to come and help."
"Yes, remember to tell them that as long as they find Lin Bai, they must spend a lot of money to invite him to the dojo. Any amount will do."
"I understand."
"..."
Mrs. Lin withdrew herself and pretended to be deep in thought. "Why do I feel like they're not here to cause trouble?"
Lin Bai's dad reacted more straightforwardly. When he heard the words 'a lot of money', his eyes instantly widened. He took a step forward and pushed the door open. At the same time, he shouted loudly, "Hey! You can stop looking, Lin Bai is my son!"
Lin Bai was speechless.
