"Hey, Mom, I'll be home tonight."
"Don't worry, Chu Qingchan is doing well, she even looks plumper."
"Who's getting plump?" Chu Qingchan, who was beside him, exclaimed, and Li Yuan on the other end of the phone laughed.
"Alright, I'll prepare dinner for you."
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Chu Qingchan glanced at her sister beside her, feeling proud. Like saying, see, Auntie likes me.
"I'm going to marry Xu Lin anyway, regardless of his family."
"Chu Fengyi, I won't let you marry me. If I marry you, I'll think about it."
"Haha, did you hear that?"
Chu Qingchan felt a bit victorious again, but upon careful thought, it wasn't much. Did Xu Lin mean to allow being pursued? That's not acceptable.
"Xu Lin, this girl carries the responsibility of the Chu family. Our father won't let her go."
"I decide for myself. As long as I can do better than my father, it's fine. Besides, the folks at home are starting to fight among themselves now, whether our old man can keep his position is uncertain."
"Really?!" Chu Qingchan was also a little incredulous that their father was actually being targeted by others in the family.
"After all, he invested in a wrong project and suffered significant losses."
"He also makes mistakes sometimes."
"Who doesn't make mistakes?"
Later, on the boring train, the Chu sisters fell asleep again, while Xu Lin chatted with Ji Yun and others on his phone, saying he would go back to class tomorrow.
"Be safe, and tomorrow you treat us to dinner."
"Sure."
Just as he sent the message to Li Bin, a WeChat call came in, and Xu Lin was surprised to see it was Teacher Su.
He nervously glanced at the two beside him, but ultimately didn't decline the call and answered, lowering his voice.
"What's the matter, Teacher Su?"
"Why are you speaking so quietly?"
"People around are resting."
"Sorry, let's chat through text."
"OK."
After ending the call, Xu Lin opened the chat box, but a head leaned on his shoulder.
"Who are you chatting with? Trying to deceive another girl again?"
"Master, I'm such an upright person, how could I deceive a girl?"
"Haha, let me see."
"You're not my girlfriend anyway, so why should I?"
"I will be in the future."
"Look, it's my teacher, asking when I'll be back." Xu Lin handed the phone over directly, looking indifferent.
Chu Fengyi saw him being so casual and felt reassured. After a quick glance at the message from "Teacher Su," which seemed normal, she looked away.
Xu Lin took back his phone and started composing a message, although he appeared calm on the surface, his heart was pounding.
Fortunately, he managed to deceive the other party. Otherwise, just a swipe up would reveal yesterday's messages from Teacher Su about the fake boyfriend and parents.
"By the way, you said you're going out. If you come back today, what time will you arrive at Linshui Train Station?"
"It'll be around 7 in the evening."
"I'll pick you up then, I don't have anything else to do anyway."
"You're not going to drag me straight to your house, are you? In that case, forget it."
"Haha, look how scared you are. I'll come to pick you up."
"I have other people with me here. This time I went to Jinling to participate in a short film shoot recommended by two friends, one of whom is our PE teacher."
"I do know that you know this Teacher Chu, but you also do acting?"
"Teacher, I know plenty of things. You didn't choose your boyfriend in vain."
"Flirting with the teacher again! Forget it, if it's your friend, I'll just pick them up together."
"We'll see if you have time then."
"I do, but if I'm picking you up, you'll have to treat me to a meal."
"Sure."
"At my place."
Xu Lin just saw this message, quickly shut the phone off, damn it, this woman really won't give up until she gets me to her place.
After traveling for several hours, the train arrived in Linshui City at 7:40.
"Are we taking a taxi back?"
"No, someone is coming to pick us up."
"Who?"
"Teacher Su, our English teacher, we have a good relationship."
"Oh~ a good relationship, how good?"
"After all, Mr. Xu's charm is so great that even my sister is restless, let alone a teacher."
"Chu Qingchan, you can't learn from your sister."
"Hehe."
"Hehe."
The two sisters also chimed in together, making Xu Lin smile helplessly, but the next moment, a hand directly linked his arm.
"Chu Fengyi, what are you doing?"
"I feel tired."
"You feel tired?"
Except for a few times when Chu Fengyi was sick, Chu Qingchan had never seen her look low. She had always been lively. How could she feel tired?
"There are so many people watching, Master... loosen up a bit."
Xu Lin's cheeks also turned red. Although they usually said whatever they wanted, as a fledgling, he still felt that the surrounding eyes were too piercing.
Seeing Xu Lin a little shy, Chu Qingchan also became spirited and directly hugged his right arm as well.
In an instant, Xu Lin was sandwiched between them, feeling different, one was the plains, and the other was the mountainous area.
"What's with that expression?"
"What's wrong with me?"
"I feel like you have some bad thoughts about me."
"How could that be, Master, you're overthinking it."
Has this girl's Martial Art reached the point where she can hear my inner thoughts? This isn't just Martial Art, it's like cultivating immortality techniques, or is it a woman's sixth sense?
As they walked into the parking area below, more people turned their heads towards them, making Xu Lin even more embarrassed.
Not to mention the beauty of Chu Qingchan and Chu Fengyi, just having two girls hanging onto your arms like that would catch anyone's attention.
But the two girls didn't seem shy at all, probably because they were wearing masks, leaving only him exposed to the cameras, which he couldn't stop.
I'm a naturally a shy otaku, don't persecute me like this!
Once they reached the parking lot, Xu Lin quickly spotted a familiar white car. He hurriedly broke away from the two and approached the car, tapping on the window.
"Sorry, didn't notice you coming from behind. Get in the car, where are the other two?"
Su Qingwan got out of the car and opened the trunk, putting the bags of the two in the back.
"Hello, Teacher Su. Thank you for picking us up."
Chu Qingchan walked over and waved to Su Qingwan, while Chu Fengyi nodded beside her.
She had seen Chu Fengyi before, a beautiful girl who didn't look like a college graduate at all.
But this friend had a really good figure, even though she was wearing a mask, her aura was so good, she must be a beauty with nice features.
Speaking of which, how did this guy Xu Lin know such a beauty, probably his parents' friend... and it looks like they're rich.
But she didn't think much of it, just greeted the two to get in the car first. But as Chu Fengyi passed by her side, she suddenly smelled a familiar fragrance.
A very familiar scent, one that she had sensed from Xu Lin before. Could it be... No way... She must ask properly!
It's not that she has any thoughts about her students, but to prevent them from falling in love early, or worse, falling in love with a teacher, it's not good!
She must have a proper chat, yes, that's it! Just being a responsible teacher!
