In the teenage girl's bedroom.
Lin Xuan's fingers stopped strumming the guitar, and the lingering sound echoed.
Clap! Clap! Clap!!!
Realizing what happened, Chen Kexin, swinging her twin ponytails, clapped her hands vigorously.
"So beautiful, so beautiful, no wonder you're known as the most devoted man in Magic City. The song was so heartfelt, though it had a bit of a trashy vibe..."
Lin Xuan: "......"
The little girl packed away her recorder, said goodbye to Lin Xuan, and prepared to leave.
But just as she reached the door, she seemed to remember something and suddenly stopped, turning back.
"What is it now? Hurry up and say it!"
Seeing the somewhat fawning look on Chen Kexin's face, Lin Xuan knew she must be asking for something.
"Could you possibly spare some time... to be my temporary boyfriend?"
"Huh? No! I'm busy!"
"And I already have Qingge as my fiancée. How could I go be your temporary boyfriend? What kind of talk is that?!"
Before the little girl could explain herself, Lin Xuan was shaking his head repeatedly.
Although he wasn't sure what the situation was...
But he was busy earning points, so how could he go and play the temporary boyfriend game with a little kid?
Meanwhile, Su Qingge, lying on the hospital bed, felt a slight sense of joy as she heard Lin Xuan's firm rejection.
'Kexin, you're going too far!'
'Lin Xuan is at least my fiancé now; how can you ask him to be your boyfriend?'
'And what's with this "temporary" thing? Can that even be borrowed temporarily?'
.......
"Oh! Alright."
Receiving the rejection, Chen Kexin wasn't surprised, but she nervously tugged at her ponytails. (ー′ー)
"My parents are forcing me to meet Su Fan next week, my fiancé."
"But I'm only interested in the anime big brother, and since I can't defy my parents, I was thinking of finding a fake boyfriend to put on a show..."
"I'll think of another way... sigh...."
Who?! Su Fan?
Isn't that the alias of the protagonist Su Yang?
Oh right!
Thinking about the timing, the plot is about to start...
In the original plot.
In the original plot, Chen Kexin did find someone else to pretend to be her boyfriend, intending to drive Su Yang away.
But the rich second-generation guy she found ended up being the target of Su Yang's show-off and slap in the face.
And it was at that moment...
That was when Su Yang found out that his sister, Su Qingge, had become a vegetable...
Watching Chen Kexin leave with a frustrated expression, Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes and said: "Wait, while I can't be your temporary boyfriend, I can still help you out in the name of being a friend..."
"If that guy really is unbearable, I'll find a way to help you get rid of him."
"Really? You can't be lying to me."
Chen Kexin turned around suddenly, her face showing three parts joy, three parts excitement, and four parts disbelief.
"Why would I lie to you? |?)....."
"Mainly because you've worked hard managing my account, I'll reluctantly help you out."
Lin Xuan said calmly and seriously, without his heart racing or his face turning red.
Chen Kexin quickly believed and accepted his words, deeply touched.
"Stop, stop, stop, don't make me sick. Hurry up and leave!"
"Oh! I'll go now, Onii-chan~~~ Sayonara~~~~"
Seeing that Chen Kexin was about to rush toward him.
Lin Xuan quickly waved his hand to reject her.
The little girl shrugged and skipped away.
In the dark prison of consciousness...
Su Qingge was surprised by Lin Xuan's change of heart.
'What's going on? Why did Lin Xuan agree? Didn't he just hesitate and reject me a second ago?'
'Could it really be because he's thanking Kexin for her help? It's possible, but unlikely.'
'It seems like he changed his mind after hearing Kexin's fiancé's name.'
'Does he know that Su Fan?'
'Su Fan? He has the same last name as me...'
…..
Suddenly.
For some reason, Su Qingge was suddenly reminded of her brother, Su Yang.
Her mood immediately sank.
I miss you all so much!
Brother, are you and Mom and Dad doing well in heaven...
While Su Qingge quietly grieved.
Lin Xuan had already returned to his seat, habitually taking the girl's hand as he fell into thought.
The reason he agreed to Chen Kexin's request was actually very simple...
He was simply curious and wanted to meet the destined child face to face.
To observe if he matched the character description in the plot.
And then finalize the next steps in his plan...
Time flew by.
The entire day passed by.
Lin Xuan stayed by Su Qingge's bed, carefully taking care of her.
Almost all the time, aside from eating and drinking, he didn't miss any chance to stay close to her.
This scene of unwavering devotion moved everyone in the Su family, including Liu Juan, to tears.
"No wonder he's known as the most devoted man in Magic City, it's no exaggeration. Young Master Lin, he really... I'm in tears..."
"Who says couples are like birds in the same forest, flying away when disaster strikes? There are still good men and true love in this world!"
"I envy Miss so much! She found a good man by misfortune. If my future husband is half as good as Young Master Lin, I'd be content."
"......."
After spending this time together.
They had almost all accepted Lin Xuan as the soon-to-be son-in-law.
Lin Xuan's unwavering "devotion" earned him the collective approval of the Su family...
And by the time night fell.
Lin Xuan still stayed by the bedside, "staying close" and occasionally talking to Su Qingge...
"Qingge, do you know what books can't be bought in a bookstore?"
'Books that can't be bought? Books that regular bookstores don't carry... Could it be those kinds of books...'
"The answer is: A suicide note!"
"......."
"You say Newton discovered gravity when an apple fell on his head. What would happen if you stood under a peach tree, waiting for a peach to fall on you?"
'You wouldn't discover anything! There's only one Newton, and only such great people can discover the truth.'
"The answer is: You'll realize your head hurts."
"......."
"If I find a wife who can help me with half of the housework, what do you think I should do?"
'Well, then you should take care of her! You should do the other half of the housework!'
"The answer is: Get two wives! That way, each person does half of the housework, and it's fair."
"......."
After a series of bizarre questions, Su Qingge almost couldn't handle it anymore.
Eventually, she decided to block it all out.
She refused to answer Lin Xuan's questions in her mind anymore.
Creak!
Just as Lin Xuan was enjoying himself, the door to the room was pushed open.
Who could it be?
Lin Xuan curiously turned around and saw an elderly man with white hair, slowly walking in with a cane.
"Hmm? Grandpa Su, what brings you here today?"
"This is all thanks to you! Xiao Xuan, if it weren't for you last night... sigh, the Su family might have... sigh..."
…..
On the hospital bed.
Hearing her grandfather's voice, Su Qingge was initially very happy.
After all, her grandfather, Su Shengtian, had been busy with work and hadn't visited her for several days.
But the next second...
Su Shengtian's vague words made Su Qingge speechless and somewhat frantic.
'Last night? Why is it always about last night? What exactly happened last night?'
'Grandpa, why are you being like Kexin, turning into a riddle person? Why do you speak in fragments...'
'Why can't you just be straightforward?'
'What exactly happened last night? I really want to know!'
'But what you're saying...'
'I don't understand! I really don't understand!!!'
