Xu Lin introduced some information about Zhang Guofu's spicy hot pot to the other party, and Father Bai, who originally had little confidence, changed to a state where he could give it a try.
"Speaking of it, Xu Lin, what do you think of our Xiaoxiao?"
"Senior sister Bai how should I put it? When I see senior sister Bai, it's like seeing myself in junior high school, so introverted, not very good at socializing."
Xu Lin didn't directly answer what he thought, he felt that this must be a test from his father-in-law to see if he was attracted by appearance, and he couldn't be fooled.
"Well, actually, this is also our problem, or I should say, her mother, how should I put it..."
Father Bai instantly felt a bit conflicted, tugging at his hair, and Xu Lin hurriedly said, "It's okay. If it's hard to say, let's not talk about it."
"There's nothing wrong with saying it. It's just that when her mother was young, because she was beautiful, she was often bullied by people from the same hometown, this bullying lasted for five years of elementary school."
"Later, when she entered society and met me but before we got married, because many men in the factory liked her, many women had opinions on her, excluding her and being sarcastic everywhere."
"It got better after we got married, but she still had some shadows, and later, after she got sick, her mental state was not very good, even more so."
"So she doesn't let Xiaoxiao dress up, and coincidentally, our family is also facing difficulties. With Xiaoxiao, who is such a beauty, it's like we're wasting her, sigh~"
Another long sigh, it's filled with sorrow, regret, and also a kind of guilt and self-blame.
"Uncle, once this spicy hot pot restaurant opens, everything will get better."
"Well, I've endured much more hardship than this. Honestly, I don't feel it's hard now. It's just that I don't want my wife and children to suffer."
Upon hearing these words from his father-in-law, Xu Lin's heart raced a bit. As a man, he also understood this sense of responsibility.
That's why he had to be even more outstanding because while other families might have just one, his own had so many people. Not to mention his in-laws, he had to work even harder, otherwise, how could it work out!
As the memories faded, Father Bai glanced at the clock and realized it was almost 4 o'clock. His daughter had been out for an hour already.
"Xiaoxiao hasn't come back yet, why don't you give her a call?"
"Okay."
Just as he reached for the phone, they heard the sound of heels clicking on the floor behind them. Xu Lin turned to look and saw a girl with long black stockings covering her face walking in. She has a cute, messy bob hairstyle and is wearing a British-style checkered trench coat with a woolen texture.
Her figure is impressive, with a bulging chest held up by a crossed collar, smoothly extending to her hips, presenting a perfect waistline, just like a model on TV. Her skirt fell just above her knees, revealing long, straight thighs covered in black stockings, looking like a pair of perfect artworks.
With the addition of black stockings, she exudes a youthful campus vibe with a hint of sexiness and maturity. However, under her feet are a very playful pair of leather shoes with a bow tie.
Not far away, two people beside the beds couldn't help but glance over here, and Ji Yun also walked in from behind.
"Sister Xiaoxiao, put your hand down. You've seen it yourself, it's so beautiful, there's nothing to be embarrassed about!" Ji Yun shouted, slowly lowering her hand, revealing a stunning, but blushingly red face, nervously rubbing her clothes.
Her features are still exquisite and three-dimensional, although still thin, her face no longer has that intentional black-yellow filter.
Even with a blush on her face, she looked fair and radiant. Normally she kept her head down, but now she raised it, her swan-like neck also very attractive.
"Xiao Xiao..." Father Bai couldn't help but say a word. The girl nodded shyly, looking at Xu Lin and her father next to him.
"Am I looking beautiful...?" Bai Xiaoxiao's voice was slightly trembling, but there was a hint of anticipation that a little girl couldn't hide.
"No, not just beautiful, but like a fairy descending to earth."
"It's all... thanks to sister Ji Yun's help..."
Hearing Xu Lin's praise, she showed a sweet smile, instantly feeling less nervous and restrained. Xu Lin was even happier inside than he appeared on the surface, sincerely thanking the LSP system for its insight.
You are truly worthy, LSP system! When you say a girl is beautiful, she is indeed very beautiful. Although I thought she had a good foundation already, I didn't expect her to be this good.
And looking at her appearance, this is still without makeup. Especially those legs, I, Xu Lin, would dub them as the second most beautiful legs I've ever seen, with the first being a top celebrity.
The top celebrity's legs are even healthier. Despite appearing so slender while wearing such thick stockings, although they may look good, they're definitely not healthy.
"You still need to keep eating, you're too thin."
"Yeah, too thin," Class Monitor Ji also nodded.
"As for that, senior sister... You talk to your dad first, I'll talk to Ji Yun about something."
Xu Lin glanced at Ji Yun, who playfully stuck out her tongue, and the two of them walked to the corridor.
"What's wrong? Why so nervous? Afraid of your intimate relationship with Xiaoxiao being exposed?"
"From when we met until now, everything has been aboveboard. Where would there be any intimate relationship?"
Xu Lin said to Ji Yun, not really worried about anything being revealed, because there's really nothing to hide.
"Maybe there wasn't anything before, but who knows about the future right~"
Ji Yun also drew a strange curve in front of her chest, leaving Xu Lin stunned.
"Class Monitor Ji, how come I never noticed before that you're so mischievous?"
"That just means you don't know me well enough."
"I'll make sure to get to know you better in the future."
"Don't talk nonsense!"
"Class Monitor, do you understand what I mean?"
"You've made it quite clear..." Jiyun felt embarrassed to point it out to him, but if they really end up together, it's just a matter of time.
"By the way, you, bringing out such a beauty, if I end up liking her, you can't blame me~"
"The scoundrel starts making excuses for himself."
"Cough, I was just kidding." Xu Lin awkwardly smiled, intending to cushion it a bit, but didn't expect Class Monitor Ji's reaction to be so quick.
"But Ji Yun, why did you dress her up like this?"
Xu Lin also had plans to tidy up Bai Xiaoxiao, turning her from an ugly duckling into a beautiful swan, to astonish everyone.
But he hadn't planned to do it now, but rather wait until she's plump and confident, then enhance her appearance and demeanor, but my wife beat me to it!
"I think Xiaoxiao lacks confidence, or she lacks self-awareness. So I wanted her to experience that she doesn't need to be insecure."
"Of course, as she said, being beautiful is very dangerous, just like what happened with Zhang Kang..." Ji Yun said affectionately, then glanced at him deeply and held his hand again.
"I understand. Has he been harassing you again?"
"No, but he still hasn't apologized. The one who he should apologize to is you."
"I know you care about me, but I'm fine."
"Alright, with your thick skin, who cares about you. Speaking of which, Xiaoxiao needs confidence, knowing what she has. With confidence, she can face the world differently."
"So you mean, knowing and not knowing makes a big difference."
"At least that's what I think. Along the way, you don't know how many guys have been staring at her."
"Mainly because of her legs. Speaking of which, my height might not change in the future, shorter than those around you... You won't dislike me, will you?"
Class Monitor Ji is obviously concerned about her just over 160cm height, and most importantly, her figure is not as good as others'.
When she was choosing clothes for Bai Xiaoxiao just now, she went into the fitting room to help, and then she saw that enviable... sigh~
Seeing Ji Yun's expression, Xu Lin smiled indulgently, then suddenly hugged her waist tightly and lifted her off the ground.
"What are you doing?!"
Ji Yun's face instantly turned red, she glanced around and fortunately no one was there.
"How could I ever dislike you! Look, if you were too tall, I wouldn't be able to lift you high."
"I don't want to be lifted high!" Ji Yun said with a straight face, but her eyes and eyebrows curved like a crescent moon betrayed her.
"Haha, alright, isn't Chun Fengyi shorter than you?"
"Oh, yeah. Miss Chu is naturally petite, right? It's not some kind of illness, right?"
"Naturally petite, yeah. She's so capable, what illness could affect her? Probably none..."
At that moment, in the distant city of Huangjing, Chun Fengyi suddenly sneezed, and everyone around the conference table turned to look at her.
"Hmm?" She coldly glanced around, and instantly everyone lowered their heads.
I always feel like someone is criticizing me behind my back. It must be Xu Lin, that guy. When I finish this busy work and go back, I'll give him some extra love!
