Xu Lin looked at Ji Yun coming out, feeling confused for a moment, but instantly confirmed one thing.
That is, why the thing he concealed, Chu Qingchan knows, and now it's confirmed that it was Monitor Ji who told Chu Qingchan!
But why? He confessed to Ji Yun, but fundamentally it was also Ji Yun expressing her liking for him.
Did Ji Yun tell Chu Qingchan to make Chu Qingchan feel like he's a scumbag? Or is it a prelude to conflict, and their relationship is actually good?
Is this what they call a Shura field? Oh my, it seemed fine when watching anime, but when it happened to oneself, before the two even started attacking, he couldn't withstand the pressure!
But as he sweated profusely, feeling extremely nervous, Ji Yun stepped forward and hugged Chu Qingchan's arm, revealing a mischievous expression reminiscent of Chu Fengyi.
"Xu Lin, look at how scared you are. You know that being fickle isn't right, don't you?"
"How am I fickle? I'm not!"
Xu Lin firmly opposed this point. He couldn't possibly be fickle; he is sincere with everyone!
Xu Lin took a deep breath, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and slowly stood up, supporting himself on the sofa.
"Mr. Xu, don't lie to me in the future. I'll be watching you closely at all times!"
"Just a moment, just a moment. What's going on with you two, Miss Chu and Miss Ji?
At this moment, Xu Lin also realized that the relationship between the two isn't just about being close.
Although it's good that this two 'sisters' get along well, it also signifies the beginning of a harmonious harem.
"Speaking of which, did you confess to sister Ji Yun?"
"No... I..." Xu Lin glanced at Ji Yun's expression.
"Did you or did you not?"
"Ji Yun has already told me, did you confess to her?"
"I was just joking, it was her who confessed to me!" Xu Lin also came straight out with it, and instantly Ji Yun's eyes widened.
"What do you mean by saying I confessed to you? Are you saying you don't like me anymore?"
"No, no, I like you. You're my angel, my moonlight. How could I not like you?"
"And what about me?" Chu Qingchan chimed in, and Xu Lin made a bitter face, then completely gave up on whatever he was thinking and just shouted.
"I like you too!"
"Then what about later?" Chu Qingchan pouted slightly, appearing a bit displeased, but also revealing a cute and proud expression typical of a cold-faced goddess.
"What about later? What do you mean?"
"I mean the angels, the moonlight, and all that?"
"Um... let me think."
"You don't need to think, scumbag!" Chu Qingchan kicked his shin lightly, with force lighter than a mosquito bite.
"Scumbag!" Ji Yun also raised her small fist and lightly tapped his chest.
"Okay, I admit, I'm a player! But I'm not a scumbag. I, Xu Lin, haven't touched any girl, nor have I had a confirmed relationship with any of them!"
Xu Lin spoke righteously, and the two of them pressed him onto the couch, then sat on each side, forming a sandwich-like situation.
"What are you up to?"
"Come on, spill it. Who likes you, and who do you like?"
"I like both of you, I want you both!"
"Both? Is it Ten or eight then? According to our investigator Ji Yun, you should still have ambiguous relationships with others, like today's Bai Xiaoxiao."
"Ji Yun?" Xu Lin glanced at Ji Yun, who shifted her gaze away.
Seeing that both of them seemed stable, Xu Lin breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed like there wasn't going to be a showdown; these two seemed to have reached some sort of cooperation.
Well, this is great. My wife and my concubine are cooperating. The harem just got more stable!
But he can't show it, he must stay steady, after all, they don't know, their enemies are not just one or two, maybe even ten.
Don't scare me off all of a sudden, where can I vent my frustration to? This system is so silly, it doesn't even have voice, it can't help at all.
"Don't scare my little sister Ji Yun. Anyway, when Ji Yun talked to her, she said she likes you."
"Sister Bai?" Xu Lin was a bit skeptical, would that shy and honest girl who often stutters say something like that to Ji Yun?
"Really, Sister Chu, I wouldn't lie about this!"
"What can you say about this?" Chu Qingchan looked at him again.
"I really don't know, my relationship with Bai Xiaoxiao is just that I helped her twice."
"But I'm also someone you've helped."
The scene where Xu Lin, despite being soaked and later getting a fever, insisted on keeping her from getting wet again, came to her mind again.
Singing to her when she felt most lonely, and remembering the smile when he was kneeling in front of her that day, her lips couldn't help but curl up.
Just now, hearing he confessed to Ji Yun, she felt a bit annoyed and scared.
If Ji Yun had accepted at that time, would she have completely withdrawn? Would she have really mustered the determination to compete with Ji Yun?
But now, with Xu Lin's eager attitude, she feels a lot more relaxed.
But there are still questions that need to be asked, she must find out who her potential competitors are.
According to Ji Yun's words at the time, when Xu Lin asked that question, there was hesitation, and that hesitation definitely wasn't just from her.
"Really, there's no one else, I'm not two-timing you! Who are you suspecting?"
"What's going on with Teacher Su? You went out to eat together, and you had been exchanging glances with Teacher Su several times, right?"
"Ji Yun, your words are quite problematic. How can it be called exchanging glances? Sister Qin next to me even said that you and I were exchanging glances, which doesn't seem right."
"Who said we were exchanging glances?"
"Ahem! What's the situation between you and Teacher Su?"
Chu lightly interrupted the two in front of her and patted Ji Yun's shoulder, giving her a glance.
"Ji Yun, is it appropriate for you to sprinkle dog food in front of me while we are interrogating him?"
Ji Yun secretly stuck out her tongue and continued to be serious.
"At first, it was Teacher Su who helped me when I had a fever, took me to the infirmary, and sent me home. She's a very responsible teacher."
"Later, it was during the time I cooked, I helped Teacher Su's mother at the market once. I remember mentioning it."
"That's it?"
"That's it."
"Okay, next."
Ji Yun took out her notebook and wrote something down.
He wanted to sneak a peek, but the other party immediately closed the notebook.
"Who is that black-skinned girl?"
"She's a police officer."
"Police? Xu Lin, you're quite bold, huh? No wonder last time I saw study materials in your possession with..."
"Cough, cough, there are kids around." Xu Lin hastily interrupted Chu Qingchan's words. He didn't want the clueless class monitor to find out about his XP system too early.
"What are you two talking about?"
"It's nothing, I'll teach you later... when you... I'll teach you later."
"Just you? Teaching someone?" Xu Lin glanced at Chu Qingchan disdainfully.
It's not that I look down on you, but I have a lot of good stuff hidden in my stash!
"I've watched at least a few thousand of them."
"... " Xu Lin suddenly stood up, bowed to her, and said, "I'm still just a junior, slightly inferior to you."
"Don't act cute, continue talking about this black-skinned girl."
"Don't call her 'Black Skin Girl,' her name is Qin Yunhe. She's teacher Su's best friend. I was actually looking for her, and teacher Su joined us for dinner later."
"So, what were you looking for her for?"
"It's official business. I mentioned it earlier, but if I tell you guys about this matter..."
"Go on!"
They both urged at once, and Xu Lin couldn't help but feel a sense of relief, successfully changing the subject.
So Xu Lin briefly explained Ma Zhiyu's situation, and both of them frowned.
"In that case, it would be better to report it to the police."
"Leaving aside other matters, if we report it to the police, both Ma Zhiyu and his girlfriend will end up in trouble."
"Even if Ma Zhiyu is fine, his girlfriend is still an accessory to the crime since she found out midway that this was a scam organization."
"Are you sure Miss Qin can help?"
"Yeah. Just leave it to her, she's a professional after all, not even afraid of tigers."
"Tigers? Oh right, you guys were blocked by a tiger today!"
"It even made the news."
Xu Lin took out his phone and saw his WeChat messages exploding, with red dots and 99+ notifications he'd never seen before!
"What the heck! What's going on?"
He quickly clicked in, not just messages from classmates and friends, even many elders he rarely chats with sent him WeChat messages, and they were all almost the same content.
"Xu Lin, was that you on TV?!"
"Xu Lin, you were on TV!"
"Xu Lin, was that Chu Qingchan? She's so pretty!"
"Do you have my nuannuan's autographs?!"
Of course, there were also simple "What the heck! Xu Lin! You're treating!"
And they all come with pictures, the contents of which are all photos, seemingly taken from the TV, some of them still blurry.
But it's very clear, it's the advertisement short film that was filmed! It's already on TV so quickly?!
"Darn it, the director didn't even give me a heads up! Give me some mental preparation! Oh my goodness... school starts tomorrow... I'm having social anxiety! Can I take a leave?"
