◎Yeah, boyfriend◎
Lin Chaojin looked at his helpless expression with amusement, and answered the call as prompted by the ringing.
Chi Huai controlled the steering wheel with one hand, glancing at the person in the passenger seat from time to time. At this time, his other hand was held in her palm. Seeing her answering the phone while unconsciously playing with his fingers, Chi Huai's mouth curled up.
"Okay, got it, Dad..." Lin Chaojin spoke a few more words to her father before hanging up the phone. She unconsciously looked out the window, then turned back to look at Chi Huai, raising an eyebrow. "Are we going back to City B now?"
Chi Huai met her playful and mischievous gaze and nodded helplessly. "Yeah." Then he said quietly, "I don't want to leave a bad impression on my father-in-law."
"Ahem." Lin Chaojin didn't expect that he would make a joke, but why did his tone carry a hint of resentment?
Lin Chaojin didn't know what to say for a moment, and muttered awkwardly, "What father-in-law..."
But the man had a serious expression, his eyes fixed on hers, and he said seriously, "Sooner or later."
Okay, Lin Chaojin was completely defeated. Sometimes when Chi Huai got serious, even she couldn't handle it.
It was already late at night when the car arrived at the Lin family's house. Lin Chaojin looked at his slightly red eyes and couldn't help but say, "Why don't you stay and rest tonight?"
This guy was nervously competing all day yesterday, and now he's been driving for several hours in the middle of the night. You can imagine how tired he is.
Chi Huai rubbed his brow, unbuckled his seatbelt, then leaned over to help her unbuckle it. He raised his hand to touch her head and comforted her: "It's okay."
Seeing that she looked a little worried, Chi Huai changed the subject and joked, "If I come here at this time, my father-in-law will really kick me out."
Lin Chaojin felt helpless after hearing this, and she also knew that he said this just to make her feel at ease. If he really came like this, Chi Huai himself would be very concerned.
Without saying anything else, Lin Chaojin opened the car door, got out, and walked towards the gate of the Lin residence with him.
When they reached the door, Chi Huai handed her the bag in his hand. Seeing the fatigue between her eyebrows, she had been with him all night, so he said nothing more and said in a gentle voice, "Go back and rest early."
"Yeah." Lin Chaojin took the bag. Now was not the time to express her feelings. After saying goodbye, she walked towards home. After walking for a while, she looked back and saw that the man was still standing there, tall and slender, his eyes following her.
Lin Chaojin met his gaze and couldn't help but jog back, hugged him, tilted her head back and kissed his chin, "Good night."
Then, before he could react, she quickly let go and ran home without looking back.
Chi Huai raised his hand to feel the warmth on his chin, the corners of his mouth curled up, he followed her back and smiled with his head down.
In the morning, when Lin Chaojin got up, there were already several messages from Chi Huai lying on her mobile phone. Looking at the messages, Lin Chaojin's mouth curled up unconsciously and she replied to him.
After washing up and going downstairs, Lin Chaojin looked at the three people sitting in the restaurant and raised an eyebrow before taking a seat. "It's noon now, not morning, right?"
Lu Ge thought about how she had flown all the way to find Chi Huai, and how all the cabbages at home had gone to eat the pigs. He was still angry and said unhappily, "I usually get up at this time."
Lin Chaojin also knew his character, so she ignored him and turned her gaze to the other two people. Her eyes seemed to be saying, what's going on with you two?
Father Lin, who was being stared at by her, calmly put the newspaper aside and glanced at her. "Humph, you're willing to give it up."
Lin Chaojin knew that her father would not tell her when she would get up, and this was just a question to get the point across.
Before Lin Chaojin could speak, Lu Ge muttered, "You've been reading the newspaper all morning. I thought you were concerned about national affairs."
"Ahem." Father Lin choked, his momentum shattered by Lu Ge. He glared at him angrily. This kid only knew how to side with his sister. "Why, I can't care about national affairs?"
Lu Ge didn't care about being glared at, and shrugged, "Yes, sir, why not?"
That nasty look makes people want to go up and take action.
Father Lin was so angry that he wanted to throw the newspaper in his hand at his father's face. This brat was sometimes like he was missing a brain. Right under his nose, his sister was abducted by other brats. How could he not be infuriating?
"That's enough. Even food can't stop your mouth." Ms. Lu, who was sitting next to him, picked up a bun and stuffed it into Lu Ge's mouth without any hesitation, blocking his mouth.
"Hmm." Lu Ge, with his mouth blocked, spread his hands and made a helpless gesture to Lin Chaojin.
Then, the couple looked at Lin Chaojin at the same time.
Lin Chaojin was not frightened by the two men's imposing manner. She calmly took the bowl of millet porridge, pinched the spoon, looked up, and said, as if she knew what they would ask, "My boyfriend."
Ms. Lu was relieved to hear this, and her reaction wasn't that dramatic. Chao Jin had been so cold and aloof in recent years, and she'd thought it would always be that way. But unexpectedly, she'd found a boyfriend. This was great news, and she had to share it with Ms. Xia.
Lin's father was not in such a good mood. Anyone would have a heart attack if they knew that his daughter, like a cabbage, was eaten by a pig.
Hearing her daughter's straightforward words, she was even more breathless and couldn't help but nagging, "Why are you looking for a boyfriend at such a young age? Your father can support you..." Then she saw Lu Ge standing beside her and said casually, "Look, your brother doesn't have a girlfriend at such an old age, but he's not in a hurry. Why are you in a hurry, my daughter..."
Lu Ge, who was inexplicably shot, paused while eating his bun and rolled his eyes. "No, why do you involve me? The problem is, Uncle Lin, just say it. Your tone is so disgusted, as if he deserves to not have a girlfriend. After all, he is still a famous and handsome star.
Thinking about it, Lu Ge took a big bite of the bun and said indignantly: "Uncle, no, my sister is older than me, how come she is still young, and I am old and should be anxious."
"You brat." Lin's father, who was exposed, glared at him unhappily. Is that what he meant? He was just giving his daughter a subtle reminder and hint.
Lu Ge was not discouraged and continued to eat the buns with relish.
"Okay, let's have breakfast first." Ms. Lu tried to smooth things over, patting her son on the head. "You're the one who talks too much, and even eating can't stop you."
Lu Ge, who was used to being disliked again, took another bun calmly and said, "Okay, okay, I can eat it."
Lin Chaojin, whose firepower was resisted by others, silently drank a sip of soy milk, thinking that he would be nicer to this cheap brother next time.
After being disturbed by him, Lin's father's depressed mood disappeared. He thought that his daughter was just dating a boyfriend and not getting married. If he said more, it would only make people dislike him, so he stopped talking.
The breakfast ended in this peaceful atmosphere.
During the break before the filming of the last episode of the variety show, Chi Huai's team had many more commercial activities after winning the championship, some of which could not be postponed. As a result, after that day, Lin Chaojin and Chi Huai had not seen each other again except for chatting intermittently on the phone.
On the contrary, Lin Chaojin, Chi Ling and Xiao Chuchu found time to spend a day together.
When Lin Chaojin arrived at the agreed place, Chi Ling and Xiao Chuchu were already waiting in the private room that had been booked in advance. When she pushed the door open and went in, Xiao Chuchu was holding a small fork and eating the cake with a conflicted expression, wanting to eat but not letting go.
Lin Chaojin closed the door of the box and walked over to sit down. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Chuchu teasingly: "Does your agent allow you to eat such a high-calorie food?"
"Sister Chaojin." Xiao Chuchu pouted sadly, "Don't mention it, my agent will complain if he finds out. But I'm going to eat as much as I want today. At worst, I can do some more exercise when I get home."
As she spoke, Xiao Chuchu viciously inserted a large piece into her mouth and muttered, "It's too difficult to be a female star."
Lin Chaojin and Chi Ling couldn't help laughing when they saw her. "Eat, eat, eat as much as you want. We'll keep it a secret for you."
"Hey, good friends." Xiao Chuchu got their assurances, and after some mental preparation, she ate a small cake, a large cup of milk tea, and a large chicken drumstick without hesitation...
Although the glutton in her stomach was still growling, she didn't do anything because of her professional ethics as a female celebrity after so many years.
Xiao Chuchu took a few lingering glances at the exquisite pastries and food on the table, then reluctantly looked away.
After eating and drinking, Xiao Chuchu thought of something and leaned towards Lin Chaojin, narrowing her eyes slightly with a gossipy expression on her face. "Tsk tsk, Sister Chaojin, you two were so lively on the trending searches last night. I didn't realize you were so passionate in private. Even a big star like me who usually stars in idol dramas would be ashamed of your actions, right, Lingling?"
After saying that, Xiao Chuchu looked at Lin Chaojin's calm expression, and finally timidly brought Chi Ling along.
Chi Ling looked at Xiao Chuchu's timid look helplessly, but she was actually quite surprised. Judging from the usual personalities of Lin Chaojin and her brother, they would not be the type to get so excited in a public place like an underground parking lot.
Well, the phrase "dry wood and raging fire" was on repeat in her mind endlessly when Xiao Chuchu shared the trending searches with her last night. Now it has become a conditioned reflex for her.
Chi Ling's mind was filled with various comments and complaints, but his expression was calm and composed. "After all, they are a real couple."
"Pfft." Xiao Chuchu laughed at the way Chi Ling said innocent words with a serious face, and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, a real couple."
She winked and said, "By the way, Sister Chaojin, is Master Chi a good kisser?"
Not to mention, the animated picture of the two of them last night, the handsome man and beautiful woman, made her, an actress, excited.
Lin Chaojin listened, resting his chin on one hand while stirring his coffee with a spoon in the other. He didn't seem uncomfortable at all after hearing her words. He seemed to think about it for a few seconds before answering her seriously, "Yeah, it's fine."
"Ahem."
"Ahem."
Two coughs of choking sounded at the same time. Even Chi Ling was frightened by her honest words and almost choked to death on his own saliva.
It took a while for Chi Ling and the others to recover their composure. They simultaneously gave Lin Chaojin a thumbs-up and said, "Awesome."
On the other hand, the person involved seemed to be hiding his achievements and fame, as if it was not her who had just made the shocking statement.
While Xiao Chuchu was still catching her breath, Lin Chaojin's next words almost made her lose her breath.
"You and that kid Lu Ge have been chatting happily recently." Lin Chaojin said softly.
"Ha, no, no." Xiao Chuchu waved her hands repeatedly. What a joke. It was she who told Lu Ge and Lin Chaojin about going to see Chi Huai yesterday. Now admitting it is courting death. Thinking about it, Xiao Chuchu denied it three times in a row, "I'm not, I didn't, we weren't talking. Sister Jinjin, there's nothing good to talk about with that idiot, cough Lu Ge, sister, please believe me."
As she spoke, Xiao Chuchu straightened up and almost patted her chest to make a promise. Her expression made people feel extremely innocent and pure.
Lin Chaojin raised an eyebrow, but didn't say whether she believed it or not. However, Xiao Chuchu didn't dare to gossip like that anymore.
＊
After the three of them finished their meal, it was still early, so they decided to go shopping in the mall.
However, Lin Chaojin and the other two obviously underestimated their current fame and popularity. They were recognized not long after they entered the first store.
Not to mention the two big stars Xiao Chuchu and Chi Ling, even the ordinary person Lin Chaojin's fame has been rising rapidly after appearing on the variety show. Besides, the hot searches last night were no joke.
Therefore, when the other girls in the store excitedly surrounded them, Lin Chaojin was a little confused for a moment.
No matter how calm and composed one is at ordinary times, one is frightened by these enthusiastic people and is unable to react for a moment.
Fortunately, Xiao Chuchu and Chi Ling handled the situation well. When more people gathered around, they hurriedly took Lin Chaojin out, joking with the crowd to calm their emotions.
The girls didn't think about following, and some of them even helped maintain order, allowing the three of them to get out quickly.
But those words were spoken very loudly.
"Fuck, I've seen the real person. I have no regrets in dying."
"Why didn't Huai Shen, Mr. Ge, and Mr. Li, the great actor, come with us?"
"Miss, a brother who deserves a beating should be beaten more often. Master Ge is very resistant to beatings."
After hearing these words, Lin Chaojin and the other two all looked embarrassed. They thought that if Lu Ge was here at this moment, he would definitely jump up and down in anger.
The three of them walked a distance when they heard a loud voice behind them, "Miss, be good to Huai Shen."
The three of them finally caught their breath after getting into Xiao Chuchu's nanny car. Xiao Chuchu was the first to collapse in her chair and joked, "I've been a star for so long, and this is the first time I've felt what it's like to be so popular."
"Me too." Chi Ling curled the corners of her mouth and echoed, "How do you feel, our great star Lin?"
"Come on, stop teasing me." Lin Chaojin came back to her senses now, and was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. She covered her face in embarrassment. She didn't expect that someone would be so enthusiastic towards her.
Even though I often see words like "Goddess, I want to give birth to a baby for you" on the Internet, it is not as shocking as facing the passion today.
"Hahaha." Xiao Chuchu and Chi Ling rarely saw her shy, so they tried to laugh more.
＊
What they didn't know was that after the three of them left, someone posted about their encounter with them on Weibo.
@芋泥啵啵: Ahhhh, I ran into Miss Lingling and Chu Bao today! These three beauties were right in front of me, shopping with me. I was so excited! Ahhh! Funny thing is, Miss Lingling probably didn't realize how popular she was, and how welcoming we were. The way she was stunned for a moment was so adorable! So cute I just wanted to pounce on them... I'm rambling on, so here are a few blurry pictures I took with all my might. I can't help but say, even the blurriest pictures can't hide the beauty of these three gorgeous ladies!
In an instant, the blogger’s Weibo likes, comments and reposts began to rise rapidly.
Looking at Lin Chaojin's silly and cute expression for a moment, many fans couldn't help but scream because of her cuteness.
[Ahhh, what should I do? I'm so touched by her cuteness.]
[Fuck, I want to compete with Huai Shen for my wife!]
[Sister in front, add me, and let's go get a sack and steal someone.]
…
Besides those who laughed heartily, another comment received a lot of praise: "Well, aren't the three of Huai Shen, Ge Ye, and Li Da, the filming emperor, all alone in their empty rooms?"
＊
"Hahaha, brother, brother Huai." Xiao Yao, who was browsing Weibo, was also amused by this comment and couldn't help but shout. With a force of her feet, she slid the wheelchair in front of Chi Huai and held the phone straight in front of him so that he could see the comment clearly. She said in a mean way: "Brother, people on the Internet say that you are alone in your empty room. How do you feel?"
Chi Huai glanced at his phone, then his eyes lightly moved to him, "Are you done practicing?"
The voice was quiet, but Xiaoyao felt a chill on the back of his neck. He quickly put his phone away and, despite the mocking looks from his companions, slid back to his computer desk and shouted, "I'm practicing. I'm practicing."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "I think Brother Huai is just too angry. It's all because of his unfulfilled desires."
The tiger sitting next to him looked at him in a state of confusion, expressing admiration for his bravery. However, after a moment's thought, he realized that it was true and patted Xiaoyao on the shoulder, "Young man, you are still young and don't understand."
Xiaoyao was full of questions and replied, "Problem."
＊
Chi Huai reached out and took the phone on the table and opened it. He first opened WeChat, then Weibo, and finally turned off the phone again.
So the netizens and fans who were still enjoying themselves on Weibo saw a new Weibo post was updated on the Weibo account with Chi Huai's certification.
The content only contained a yawning emoticon that comes with Weibo, no text, and a screenshot.
Except for the conversation, everything else in the screenshot was blurred. It was obvious that Lin Chaojin was replying to him with an emoticon of "kiss" and the word "good boy".
Chi Huai replied with an emoticon package of "a dog lying down and rolling around".
The entire Weibo post doesn't say anything, but it seems to say everything. At first glance, it is full of bragging.
Netizens and fans all came with an expression of being ready to eat melons and have fun, but then changed their expressions to an "old man on the subway looking at his phone" after reading this Weibo post, and then commented with a choked expression.
[I was shown off. I won’t tell you who’s showing off, you idiot.]
[Comrades, have you seen this bastard's desire to win? What a scheming bastard! Bad review!]
[Huai Shen: She was kissing me, she said I was good, what about staying alone in an empty room? That's not true, you dog.]
[He loves it so much! He loves it so much! He loves it so much! Important things should be said three times!]
…
Xiao Yao, who had witnessed everything, put down her phone with a sour expression, patted the shoulder of Tiger Big Brother next to her, and said quietly, "Young people nowadays, tsk tsk, how can they have such two faces?"
Tiger: What bullshit are you talking about.
