After finishing breakfast, Xu Lin took the spoons and chopsticks used by everyone to wash them, and Li Bin quickly got up and followed him.
"What's up?"
"Just helping you out."
"Just pretending to be diligent, huh?"
"I've always been diligent. Let's go."
Meanwhile, in the dining room, Qin Tiantian felt a bit uncomfortable under Liu Qinnuan's intense gaze.
Why does she want me to be her assistant?
"Miss Liu, I've never been an assistant before. I can barely take care of myself, let alone take care of you."
"I believe in you."
"But... you know about my situation, right?"
"Xu Lin mentioned a bit, but I think you're a great fit."
"No, no, it wouldn't be good for you."
Qin Tiantian quickly waved her hands. She didn't want her personal issues to affect Liu Qinnuan's flourishing career.
"But..."
Before Liu Qinnuan could say more, Xu Lin and Li Bin came out, handing a can of yogurt to both Liu Qinnuan and Qin Tiantian.
"Thank you."
"We need to head to school soon. Here's the key. I won't take it with me. I'll come home at noon, so just make sure you don't leave me outside."
"What about the stinky tofu?"
"I'll write you a list. You can get Chu Qingchan and the others to take you to the market to buy the ingredients. I'll cook at noon."
"Okay."
Xu Lin went to the bedroom, took out a piece of paper, and wrote down the necessary ingredients.
"Here, just buy according to this list. Also, if you have any preferences for dishes, you can get those ingredients as well. I'll cook tonight."
"Got it. We'll leave now."
Xu Lin grabbed his backpack and headed outside, with Li Bin following.
"Alright!" Liu Qinnuan's smile was radiant, and at this moment, Li Bin finally realized.
"Wait... Xu Lin, is that..."
Before he could look again, Xu Lin shut the door.
"What's up?"
"Is that Liu Qinnuan?!"
"Yes."
"F*ck... why didn't you tell me!? I thought she looked familiar, but you don't have any relatives with the surname Liu!"
"Would you even recognize her? You're not into celebrities."
"Well, I do like pretty girls, and her acting is so good. Did you meet her in Jinling?"
"Yeah."
"Do you have Chu Qingchan's contact info? Get me a photo. I like big sister Chu Qingchan even more."
"They're all big stars. We're just small fry. How could I know so many celebrities?"
"Well, why is Liu Qinnuan here with you?"
"She's just here to find an assistant and visit, not specifically to see me. I said I could hug Chu Qingchan to sleep, do you believe it?"
"Assistant... you mean Sister Tiantian?"
"Yeah. So, don't bother her. If things work out, she'll leave Linshui in a few days."
Xu Lin said, glancing at his good friend, noticing that Li Bin's excitement was fading.
"But... I don't want to regret not trying, even if it fails."
"Then you should give it your all these last few days."
"Xu Lin, why aren't you supporting me?"
"Why would you ask that? What do you think?"
Xu Lin turned around and looked straight at Li Bin, even though he was 12 centimeters shorter than Li Bin, who was almost 190cm tall.
But his aura was even higher than Li Bin's. Li Bin seemed to feel as if his old man was staring at him angrily.
"I... don't understand."
"I've told you, you can't handle this; it's for your own good."
"As long as she likes me, there's nothing I can't handle."
"That's precisely the problem. You like her, but does she like you?"
"She doesn't."
"Then it's over."
"But isn't it normal for a guy to pursue a girl? How will I know what happens next if I don't try?"
Li Bin displayed that stubborn attitude, and Xu Lin shifted his approach.
"Then go confess your feelings."
"Xu Lin, don't try to box me in. Zhuo Yan told me that a confession isn't a charge but a victory anthem."
"F*ck, you know a lot."
"You really think I'm stupid."
"You're not smart anyway. If you had Ma Zhiyu's brain, you would have found a girlfriend long ago."
"I never wanted to date in high school. I just fell in love at first sight, just like the first time you saw Ji Yun."
"I had forgotten what it felt like to fall in love at first sight."
"Of course you forgot, you playboy."
"Li Bin, please stop talking nonsense and slandering me!"
"I am not. Do you think I haven't noticed that there are more and more girls around you recently. Have you changed your mind? Do you think you have some ability and look down on our Class Monitor?"
Hearing Li Bin say this, Xu Lin almost laughed out loud. Why did this guy think poorly of him so much? Was he the kind of person who would easily change his mind?
"Your Class Monitor and I are doing just fine."
"How fine? When's the wedding?"
"In two years, maybe more before we have kids."
"That's good."
Li Bin took it as Xu Lin bragging. They hadn't even labeled each other as boyfriend and girlfriend yet.
Even if things went well, marriage seemed too far off, given their age and the fact that they weren't even old enough to apply for a marriage license.
In fact, he didn't know how old he had to be to get a marriage certificate, but when he met Qin Tiantian that day, he realized that he wanted to get married.
Although he felt a little embarrassed, he almost thought about what would happen after she gave birth to his child.
"Xu Lin, good morning. Li Bin, are you here to deliver breakfast again?"
At this time, Ji Yun rode over on her bike from not far away. When she saw Xu Lin and Li Bin, she smiled sweetly. Her starry eyes made people feel better.
"Ji Yun, did you know that he comes here every day to force breakfast on people?"
"Well, I've run into him a few times in the morning."
"Huh? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"I thought you knew. Where's Sister Liu?"
"She's at home, and she's got an assistant."
"Assistant?"
"It's Qin Tiantian. The girl she saw yesterday was Qin Tiantian. I didn't expect it, but it seems that Qin Tiantian doesn't want to be an assistant."
"I see."
"I sent a message to the big star Chu. She'll pick her up soon, so she won't get lost even if she wants to go out."
Although big star Chu had only been here for a short time, she was already very familiar with Linshui.
"Well, we don't have time to take her out to play like we did yesterday."
"Yeah."
"Wait, you guys went out to play yesterday? Why didn't you invite me?"
Li Bin's face suddenly turned bitter. It's fine if you two are just having a date, but why didn't you invite me with so many people?
"We were worried you might be busy."
"I really was busy. I dropped some gold yesterday and was playing ranked. No, you should have asked me."
"Oh, sorry. I'll definitely invite you next time."
"Who else was there?"
"A lot of people, all girls."
"Then you definitely should have invited me!"
Li Bin scowled. He liked Sister Tiantian, but he still wanted to see the other girls.
"They are all my girls, what would you go to see?"
"Class Monitor Ji, did you hear that? He's a playboy."
Li Bin joked as he ran over to Ji Yun, who responded casually.
"They are indeed his girls, so just let him spend time with them if he wants."
This sentence, left Li Bin directly confused. They are all his girls? How should I understand this?
