Lin Xiangyu huddled in the back seat of the taxi, immersed in an indescribable joy. The corners of his mouth rose uncontrollably, almost reaching his ears.
Although he caught a glimpse of the driver's strange look through the rearview mirror, the joy in his heart was like a flood that broke through the dam, surging and unable to be contained.
At this moment, his mind was like playing a movie, with the incredible Master Card and the huge amount of shock value that was about to be obtained constantly appearing in his mind, making him feel excited and even his fingertips tremble slightly.
As he entered the house, he was instantly enveloped by warm yellow light.
Min Eun-jeong came over with a smile on her face, her voice as gentle as a spring breeze: "Xiang-yu is back, we can have dinner now."
That smile was full of concern, which made him feel warm.
Pei Yilin, who was sitting on the sofa, heard the sound and slowly raised her head as if pulled by an invisible thread.
Her gaze fixed briefly on Lin Xiangyu's face, with a hint of inquiry in her eyes and a somewhat complicated expression. Then she stood up silently and walked towards the dining table with heavy steps.
If it were usual, she would definitely make some sarcastic remarks, but today she was unusually quiet. This abnormal behavior made Lin Xiangyu feel a little puzzled. He thought to himself, what's wrong with Pei Yilin today?
After dinner, Lin Xiangyu returned to his room.
The familiar atmosphere in the room made him feel relaxed. As soon as he sat down, before his butt even got warm, his cell phone rang cheerfully. It was a message from Zheng Xiuying.
When Lin Xiangyu saw the words "What are you doing~" on the screen, he felt mixed emotions.
He knew very well that he and Han Yeon-hee would be officially announcing their relationship tomorrow, which would undoubtedly be a heavy blow to Zheng Xiuying. When he thought that she might be sad, Lin Xiangyu felt a little uncomfortable.
Even though he was determined not to be bound by morality or dominated by emotions in this life, he still couldn't be completely cruel.
But being a bad man is not as easy as imagined!
For a moment, every detail of his time with Zheng Xiuying over the past few days kept appearing in his mind.
His fingers hovered on the screen keyboard for a long time, and after hesitating for a long time, he slowly raised his hand and replied: [Just finished dinner and returned to the room, how about you? ]
Zheng Xiuying seemed to be standing by her phone, replying quickly: [It's been a while since I finished my meal, and I'm in my room now. ]
Lin Xiangyu stared at the screen, pondered for a long time, and only replied with a word "Oh".
He didn't mean to be perfunctory, but when he thought about the official announcement with Han Yeon-hee tomorrow, his heart felt like it was being weighed down by a huge rock, heavy, and he really didn't know what to talk about with Zheng Xiuying.
Although the contract has not been signed yet and it would not be considered a breach of contract if he told others about it, he had no way of talking to the other party about this matter.
Lin Xiangyu put himself in the other person's shoes. If it was his girlfriend or his ambiguous partner who told him that she was going to sign a contract with another man and disclose their identity at school, he would definitely not be able to tolerate it. After all, he is not a gigolo.
So, he never considered secretly telling Zheng Xiuying and Shin Young-ae from the beginning.
He knew very well how Zheng Xiuying felt about him, and could imagine how sad she would be when she heard the news. When he thought of this, his heart felt like it was being cut by a knife, but he could do nothing about it.
[You don't seem very happy. Are you having any troubles? ]
Zheng Xiuying keenly noticed his abnormality, and her concerned words came through the screen.
Looking at this message, Lin Xiangyu felt guilty. After thinking for a moment, he replied: [I am not unhappy, I am just a little tired today, probably because I didn’t get enough rest last night. ]
I don’t know what happened today, but right after I replied to Jung Soo-young’s message, Shin Young-ae’s message came to me like a relay baton.
[Xiangyu, I heard from other teachers that you slept in the classroom all day today. Did you not sleep well last night? ]
Seeing this message, Lin Xiangyu sighed helplessly and replied: [Well, I couldn't sleep last night. ]
He knew that Shin Young-ae cared deeply about him, but at the moment he was a little exhausted and didn't know how to face this relationship. Soon, Shin Young-ae's message popped up again: [Are you thinking about me? ]
Then, another message came: [I didn’t let you have enough fun last Saturday, let’s go on a date this Saturday and let you relax, okay? ]
Shin Young-ae's words were full of anticipation and enthusiasm, but when Lin Xiangyu looked at the messages, her sweet smile appeared in his mind.
But when I thought about what would happen tomorrow, the date would most likely be canceled, so I simply replied: [Okay, we'll talk about it later.]
His words were a bit perfunctory, and even he could feel his absent-mindedness, but he really didn't have the energy to deal with more emotional entanglements.
Just as Lin Xiangyu was messaging Zheng Xiuying and Shen Yingai, outside the room, Pei Yilin was crouching and tiptoeing to the door like a thieving kitten.
Her hands were tightly clenched on the corner of her clothes, her knuckles turned slightly white due to tension, and she felt extremely upset. She wanted to apologize to Lin Xiangyu for what happened last time, but she couldn't bring herself to do it.
After hesitating for a long time, she finally plucked up the courage, slowly stretched out her hand, and prepared to open the door of Lin Xiangyu's room.
With a creaky sound, the door did not open, but instead made quite a noise, which was particularly harsh in the silent corridor.
Ever since Pei Yilin broke into the room last time, Lin Xiangyu developed the habit of locking the door when he returned to his room.
Hearing the noise, he jumped up from the bed like a spring, and walked towards the door while shouting, "Coming."
But when he opened the door, there was no one outside.
