Wang Jin originally wanted to keep Li Lin to have lunch together. With a warm look on his face, he patted Li Lin's shoulder and said with a smile, "Xiao Lin, it's rare for you to come here. Don't leave at noon. Let's have lunch together."

The enthusiasm seemed to pull Li Lin directly to the dining table.

But at this moment, Wang Jin's cell phone suddenly rang urgently. He glanced at the caller ID, frowned slightly, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

After answering the phone, he looked at Li Lin apologetically and said, "Xiao Lin, there is something urgent that I need to deal with. I'm afraid I can't have lunch."

Then, he turned to his secretary Mu Zhiheng and said, "Zhiheng, take Li Lin to the restaurant for dinner."

However, Li Lin declined Wang Jin's offer and said, "Secretary, if you have something to do, go ahead and do it. I won't have lunch at the Provincial Party Committee."

He was well aware of the truth that "a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind". If he showed up in the provincial party committee cafeteria with Mu Zhiheng, it would inevitably arouse many people's groundless suspicion.

It seems like a glorious thing, but in fact it may sow the seeds of trouble for yourself in the future.

After all, there are countless examples of "an innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure" since ancient times.

Seeing Li Lin's firm attitude, Mu Zhiheng didn't force it. He just smiled and patted Li Lin on the shoulder, saying politely, "Okay, brother Li Lin, let's find a pub to sit down and have a good time when we have time in the future."

Li Lin nodded quickly and responded politely, "Sure, I'll host you then."

After saying that, he turned around and left the provincial party committee compound with steady steps.

Returning to the Handa dormitory, Li Lin opened the door and found the room quiet.

He looked at the time. It was already 11:30 in the morning, which was the time for the cafeteria to open for lunch.

Thinking that Xu Wen had not finished class yet, he picked up his meal card, picked up his lunch box, and walked towards the cafeteria.

The cafeteria was bustling with people, and the aroma of food filled the entire space.

Li Lin lined up in front of each window skillfully, ordered Xu Wen's favorite shredded pork with fish flavor and Kung Pao chicken, and ordered two servings of rice. He returned to the dormitory and placed the dishes on the dining table one by one, waiting quietly for Xu Wen to come back.

When Xu Wen came back from get out of class and opened the dormitory door, she saw the food on the table. She was stunned for a moment, her eyes widened, and her face was full of confusion.

It was not until she heard the sounds of running water and flushing in the bathroom that she was sure that Li Lin had returned.

A cunning light flashed in her eyes for a moment. She was so clever that she tiptoed to the toilet door, pressed her body tightly against the wall, and leaned her head slightly out. She stared at the toilet door without blinking, ready to scare Li Lin when he was not prepared.

Little did she know that Li Lin had already heard the sound of her coming back.

He finished washing his hands and was about to come out when he caught a glimpse of Xu Wen's "sneaky" figure reflected on the glass door of the toilet.

He secretly laughed in his heart, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, thinking, "This girl really loves to play."

He guessed that Xu Wen must be hiding to scare him, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly and decided to cooperate with her.

He deliberately pushed the door open and walked out "unpreparedly", taking big steps and humming a little tune.

At this moment, Xu Wen's figure suddenly jumped out from the side. She raised her hands high, bent her fingers into the shape of claws, let out a "wow~" sound, and pretended to be a monster, rushing towards Li Lin with her fangs and claws.

Li Lin was so frightened that he shrank back, subconsciously covering his chest with both hands, with a look of horror on his face, and shouted, "I'm so scared!"

Xu Wen was so happy to see that her prank had succeeded that her eyes narrowed into slits and a bright smile spread across her face.

She threw herself into Li Lin's arms, hugged his neck tightly with both hands, kissed him on the face again and again, and said with a smug smile, "Did I scare you? Who told you to scare me all the time? Today I finally got my revenge, hehe..."

Li Lin reached out his hand and pinched her cheek lovingly. After pinching twice, he suddenly stopped and said in annoyance, "Oh no! I haven't washed my hands after going to the toilet..."

Xu Wen is a very clean person. When she heard what Li Lin said, she was stunned. Her eyes opened wide and the smile on her face froze instantly.

But at that moment, not only did she not dodge, but she grabbed Li Lin's hand, rubbed it on her face, and said with a smirk, "What are you afraid of? It's not dirty... I don't mind, hehe..."

Li Lin couldn't help laughing when he saw her mischievous look. He found that Xu Wen had become thick-skinned now, and sometimes she was more excited than himself when talking about matters between men and women.

"Okay, okay, I was just kidding. How could I forget to wash my hands after going to the toilet. Your face is so clean, how could I bear to dirty it... Let's go, I bought some food, your favorite fish-flavored pork shreds and Kung Pao chicken. Only after you eat a full meal will you have enough energy to attend class in the afternoon." Li Lin said with a smile, while pulling Xu Wen's hand and walking to the dining table.

Xu Wen smiled shyly and said, "Well, only when you are full can you have the energy to sleep. I want you to take a nap with me. I can only fall asleep if you hug me."

Li Lin stretched out his finger and gently touched the tip of her nose, and said gently, "Okay, okay, I'll take a nap with you after you're full."

The two sat at the dining table, eating and talking and laughing.

Xu Wen ate with gusto, and from time to time she looked up at Li Lin with a happy smile on her face.

After dinner, Xu Wen nestled comfortably beside Li Lin, her little face rosy like a ripe apple.

She stretched out her fingers and gently drew circles on Li Lin's chest. Suddenly, she raised her head and asked about the situation of the Chu family with curiosity.
