But Lin Xiao didn't try to make Bai Youyou happy like he always did.
He was just trying to change the subject and guide Bai Youyou to talk about another topic.
The human brain is single-threaded; it can only think about one problem at a time.
As it turns out, this method, though crude, was indeed effective.
When they parted, Bai Youyou's mood had clearly improved.
That night, Lin Xiao deliberately waited until midnight before going to bed.
He sent Bai Youyou a WeChat message that he had already prepared.
[Sorry, junior. We can only be ordinary senior and junior, not good friends. I don't want to lie to you. Good evening.]
Before releasing the article, Lin Xiao added a little tip.
[P.S.: I've heard that sleeping on your back makes it harder to dream. Wishing you a dreamless night.]
After sending the WeChat message, he turned off his phone, went to bed, and refused to think about anything related to Bai Youyou anymore.
I had already promised her something for her birthday, so I should try to reduce contact with her in the future.
In the darkness, Wei Ye suddenly spoke up and asked:
"Ah Xiao, why did you reject Bai Xuemei?"
Are you worried that Old Man Bai will object to you two being together?
"What era are we living in? It's just dating, it doesn't necessarily mean you have to get married, right?"
Lin Xiao was somewhat groggy and about to fall asleep when he was interrupted. Annoyed, he suppressed his anger and replied:
"I'm afraid of trouble."
After saying that, he stopped talking.
Neptune clicked his tongue a few times:
"Godfather has such strong willpower! If it were me, even if I were beaten to a pulp by Old Man Bai, I still couldn't refuse a girl like Junior Sister Bai!"
"Really, she's beautiful, well-behaved, and innocent!"
"Bai Xuemei is every man's dream girl, yet my godfather could actually refuse her! Just for that, I am far inferior to my godfather!"
After a long silence, Bird Bro added, "Whoever is with Ah Xiao in the future will be very happy."
Aquaman retorted, unconvinced, "How so?"
"Because Ah Xiao can actually resist human biological instincts!" Bird Brother said with admiration.
Lin Xiao listened to their rambling and thought to himself, "You're all wrong."
Is it that I don't want to?
I can't.
But he didn't want to talk, so he pretended to be dead and soon actually fell asleep.
The next day, Lin Xiao woke up naturally.
He discovered that You Wanjun had sent him a message.
Lin Xiao, when are you going to make up for the New Year's date you owe me? I even took a few days off to come back and spend time with you.
Upon seeing You Wanjun's message, Lin Xiao felt a sudden surge of irritation.
He felt it was all over.
There's no need to continue this entanglement.
Out of gratitude for You Wanjun's attendance at his aunt's funeral, Lin Xiao patiently replied to her.
【I'm sorry, Ms. You. Our previous agreement was only verbal; no actual money was exchanged. Now that I'm leaving the business, I regret that I cannot keep our appointment. I wish Ms. You all the best in your career.】
After replying to the message, Lin Xiao put the matter out of his mind and went about his business.
In Lin Xiao's mind, You Wanjun was actually the easiest client to settle things with, because she was a public figure and it was impossible for her to do anything outrageous to him, a college student.
She has a bright future ahead of her. She only wants to find a substitute to play around with; she definitely won't fall in love with him.
So, when Lin Xiao saw the WeChat message from the class monitor in the class group that afternoon, he was dumbfounded.
[@Everyone, superstar You Wanjun is giving a lecture at Jiang University. I have tickets; register if you'd like to go!]
The class group chat immediately erupted in excitement.
Everyone in school raised their hands to indicate that they wanted to go.
Those who were not on campus expressed their regret.
Some people are particularly fond of You Wanjun and even rush back to school from home just to see the goddess up close.
The people in dormitory 808 were also eager to go and decided to attend the lecture.
After all, You Wanjun is the dream goddess of every straight man.
Now that the goddess has descended to earth, they will definitely go to admire her beauty, so they can brag about it later.
"Godfather, what do you say?" Neptune asked while eating a pear. "I see you haven't registered yet. Aren't you afraid there won't be any tickets left?"
Lin Xiao put down his phone, picked up a book from the bookshelf, flipped through it casually, and said indifferently, "I'm not going. What can You Wanjun say when she comes to Jiang University? It can't be to promote her new film, can it? It's boring."
Aquaman laughed and said, "Why do you care what she says? I'm not going there for what she says. I'm just going to see if she's prettier in person than on screen."
"I watched that urban idol drama she starred in, what was it called again? Oh, I can't remember. Anyway, You Wanjun's look in it was absolutely stunning!"
"She's the kind of refined woman who grows on you the more you look at her. Even if she's all looks and no brains, I'd still like her, haha."
Lin Xiao recalled the scene when he acted with You Wanjun, his eyes flickered, and he said awkwardly, "She's not completely brainless, okay?"
Aquaman clicked his tongue, puzzled, and said, "Godfather, you talk as if you know her very well, so why don't you go? Aren't you just into intellectual homosexuals?"
Lin Xiao's gaze lingered on the pages of the book for a moment, then he said after a long silence, "Who said that? I don't even know what kind of person I like, how do you know?"
Aquaman was indignant and retorted, "Godfather, tell me honestly, do you like men?"
Upon hearing this, Bird Brother and Wei Ye both looked at Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao was speechless, then laughed and cursed, "Get lost. My sexual orientation is perfectly normal, stop trying to smear me."
Bird and Wei took over the conversation, saying that Aquaman's guess was too absurd, and that Ah Xiao was definitely straight, without a trace of gayness about him.
