Although, but.
Lin Xiao is alright in other ways, but he is most afraid of being publicly shamed in front of the entire school.
He rushed out of the dormitory and looked downstairs. Fortunately, he didn't see anyone suspicious.
Lin Xiao immediately sent a message.
【Ah, I'm sorry, Senior Chu, I was busy just now and my phone was on silent, so I just saw the message. I didn't mean to not reply.】
After thinking for a moment, he added another patch, replying with the previous information as well.
[Uh, actually, it's like this: Grandma Liu and my aunt insisted that I add Senior Chu as a friend. They were trying to play matchmaker and set us up. I know Senior Chu is busy with her studies and probably doesn't have time for me. I'm neither interesting nor good at talking, so I definitely wouldn't be able to win her over. Therefore, I've decided not to bother her for now. Sorry for upsetting Senior Chu.]
There was no reply from the other party.
Lin Xiao thought to himself, this wasn't him admitting defeat, it was him turning a big problem into a small one and a small problem into nothing.
The lion's mane is ruffled; you have to stroke it gently.
It's just a few words; it's not worth making a big deal out of it just to save face.
Besides, he just became a hot topic on the campus forum with the newly crowned campus beauty Bai Youyou. If he were to get involved in a scandal with the veteran campus beauty Chu Yingying now, he wouldn't be able to keep a low profile in the future.
He is a simple, unassuming, and low-key person. He doesn't want to be talked about or receive attention.
As the saying goes, "People fear becoming famous, just as pigs fear growing fat."
He just wanted to make a fortune quietly.
So Lin Xiao opened the "Professional Simp App" again and found a new order notification.
Upon clicking, I saw it was a new customer with the online name "Maimaibudeyu" who had booked my online sleep-inducing service from 10 PM to midnight tonight.
Although I don't need to go to the location specified by the client, the fee is doubled because it is considered overtime.
Just like Ji Ran last night, 400,000 in two hours.
The other party has already placed an order.
The money has already been transferred to Lin Xiao's bank account.
Lin Xiao is a typical miser; money coming in makes his brain release a lot of dopamine.
His expression visibly relaxed.
Four hundred thousand, if saved up, can last a long time.
I currently have 4.4 million in savings.
If I save a little more, I can consider buying a house.
However, with housing prices falling sharply right now, Chinese people tend to buy when prices are rising, not falling, and Lin Xiao is no exception; he'll have to wait and see.
With money in hand, I have the world at my fingertips.
There will be a house.
Looking at the time, it was almost ten o'clock. He needed to find a quiet corner to make the call. He thought of going to the rooftop. It was so late; there shouldn't be anyone there.
So he went back to his dorm, greeted Bird and Sea King, and told them he was going out to make a phone call and asked them not to lock the door.
The two naturally agreed, but Bird couldn't help but have doubts.
This kid went out around this time last night, and he's going out to make a phone call at this time tonight. That's unusual.
Could it be that you're in a relationship?!
Lin Xiao, unaware of Bird Brother's thoughts, grabbed his phone and went out.
The wind was strong on the rooftop, and you could hear the whooshing sound of cars speeding by on the road outside the school. However, because it was quite far away and there was a green belt blocking the noise, the noise was not very loud when it reached the rooftop.
At 10:00 PM, Lin Xiao put on his headphones and dialed the "Pulseless" voice call on time.
"Hello, 'Silent Talk', this is Lin 'Xu Xing', it's a pleasure to serve you!" A deep, magnetic voice rang out.
As the words were about to come out, Lin Xiao suddenly thought of an ancient poem that he knew by heart.
"Separated by a mere stream, we gaze at each other silently, unable to speak."
Chu Yingying!
Could it really be her?!
So he had a flash of inspiration and, imitating Su Shi's line "Do not listen to the sound of rain pattering through the forest, why not chant and stroll leisurely," named himself "Lin Xuxing" (meaning "Lin Slow Walk").
In this way, even if the other party really is Chu Yingying, he doesn't need to worry about being exposed.
He's so clever.
hey-hey.
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the voice call.
Lin Xiao wasn't in a hurry. He waited quietly while quickly opening the user preference survey and carefully studying the customer's preferences.
Meanwhile, in a bedroom with a minimalist style.
Chu Yingying, wearing an apricot-colored silk camisole, was staring blankly at her phone screen.
She bit her lip, her dark eyes blinking.
This person's voice is really nice, she thought.
This afternoon, Chu Yingying was restless and unable to sit still, her mind filled with thoughts of colored waste.
She felt like she was going crazy, so she confided her troubles to her best friend, You Wanjun. You Wanjun advised her to find a boyfriend, but she was very resistant and said that she didn't want to be in a relationship.
"A wise person doesn't fall in love," she said.
You Wanjun sent her an app called "Professional Simp," which required her to sign an online contract and a user preference questionnaire before placing an order.
“Honey, if you don’t want to date a real person, then this man is perfect for you.”
"He's a professional simp, capable of fulfilling all your needs. Most importantly, his voice can get a woman pregnant, you'll definitely love it."
"The only downside is the price. But your Chu family is wealthy, so this amount of money is affordable for you! Enjoy!"
"Do you know him?" Chu Yingying asked.
You Wanjun laughed and said, "Whether I know him or not doesn't matter. He's just a tool. As long as he can meet your needs, that's enough."
"Don't worry, he won't tell me about your relationship. I won't ask either. I just want to make you happy, darling."
After much hesitation, she finally placed an order for an online sleep-inducing service from this complete stranger.
