Chen Xu responded with an "oh," his expression a mixture of anticipation and worry, and asked, "If I marry a rich woman, will I still be able to play around with other women outside?"
Lin's mother's brow was so furious it could trap a fly. Luckily it was Chen Xu; if it were Lin Xun, Lin's mother would definitely have lost her temper. She felt indebted to Chen Xu and could only try to reason with him patiently.
"Mom doesn't want you to mess around outside. Learn from your dad."
Chen Xu scoffed, "What's so great about Dad? He's even more of a nag than Tang Sanzang. If I'm controlled, I won't get married, at least not before I'm thirty. We can discuss it if you don't want me to."
Lin's mother: "..."
Teaching a child is not something that can be done overnight, especially considering that the mother and son had missed so many years of companionship. Lin's mother planned to take it slowly. If they could raise Lin Xun to be a gentleman, then they could certainly raise their own son.
Bad habits are only temporary.
They gradually corrected it.
"Alright, let's eat."
When Nan Yu woke up and saw the unfamiliar surroundings, he was startled. He hurriedly threw off the covers and found that his coat was gone. He turned pale with fright and regretted his drunken thoughts the night before for a few seconds.
But when I got up, I felt like I didn't feel any pain.
He scratched his head and fell into deep thought.
Wen Zhuo knocked on the door. Nan Yu was startled, grabbed her pants and put them on, saying as she did so, "Wait, wait a minute, I'm getting dressed."
The man stopped knocking.
After waiting a while, I tidied up the lamp wick and rubbed my face before coming to the door. My heart was pounding. I took a deep breath and mentally prepared myself before opening the door. A face that was both strange and familiar came into view, and I was slightly taken aback.
It was him.
Wen Zhuo: "Good morning, did you sleep well last night?"
Deng Xin felt a lump in his throat and subconsciously raised his hand to cover his clothes. Wen Zhuo saw this and explained, "You caught a cold last night and were very hot. I couldn't wake you up, so I took the liberty of bringing you here. I'm sorry."
Wen Zhuo looks like a gentleman.
"Thank you." Nan Yu put her hand down, feeling a little embarrassed that she had been judging him by her own petty standards. "Last night was fine."
Wen Zhuo smiled and said, "You're welcome."
The two fell silent for a moment, the atmosphere slightly tense. Wen Zhuo stepped aside to make way for Nan Yu, and said in a gentlemanly manner, "Have some breakfast, this way please."
He wanted to refuse, but his stomach started growling. Feeling rather embarrassed, Dengxin scratched the back of his head and shuffled over. There was a table in the bar, and it wasn't crowded in the morning. Wenzhuo poured him a glass of water.
Breakfast included porridge, steamed buns, sandwiches, waffles, eggs, and a warm drink: "I didn't know what you liked to eat, so I bought a little of everything."
Nan Yu blushed. Why was this person being so polite? She only spent a little over forty yuan, which wasn't worth these services. "How much is it? I'll scan your QR code."
Wen Zhuo pushed up his glasses (which had no prescription) and laughed, "Talking about money is so vulgar. Let's just be friends. You look worried, is something wrong?"
Nan Yu thought about all the troubles the Lin family had gone through.
My mood was gloomy.
He didn't want to talk about it, and he didn't know where to begin. Wen Zhuo wasn't very familiar with him, and he was afraid of being betrayed if he made a rash comment, so he remained silent.
Wen Zhuo used serving chopsticks to pick up a small steamed bun for him, her eyes crinkling into a smile: "Sorry, I didn't know if you liked this."
Nan Yu stared blankly at the steamed buns in the bowl for a moment, then put one in his mouth, chewed it, and found it very fragrant. He smiled at Wen Zhuo, then suddenly remembered a question and asked, "Did I sleep in your room last night?"
Wen Zhuo nodded.
Nan Yu: "Where did you sleep last night?"
Wen Zhuo smiled and said, "I'm working."
Nan Yu: "It's my fault for taking your room. I didn't want to go home, I just wanted to find a place to get drunk, but I didn't expect... I'm sorry." She lowered her head at the end, feeling dejected.
This past year has been incredibly unlucky, and it's even dragged down the people around me.
Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Wen Zhuo comforted him, "No need to apologize. Even if you don't come, I will still go to work. You can come to me if you are sad in the future. I'm always here."
"actually……"
Nan Yu wanted to tell him that she was allergic to alcohol, but she was afraid that if she did, Wen Zhuo would worry about taking responsibility and wouldn't let her come. So she swallowed her words.
I'll write a disclaimer when I get home. If something really happens, they can check their own pockets and find out the responsibility, so Wen Zhuo won't be implicated.
Wen Zhuo smiled and said, "It's alright, you can come anytime."
Deng Xin nodded, her eyebrows curving into crescent moons. Suddenly realizing she didn't know his name, she introduced herself first before asking, "My name is Lin Xun, Xun from Xunyang Tower. What's your name?"
Warmly drink: "Warmly drink."
Nan Yu: "Which zhuo?"
Wen Zhuo said humorously, "Let's have a small drink."
Nan Yu exclaimed, "Wow! Your name is like a cup of warm wine!"
There was a glass of water in front of me, but the thought of alcohol made my head start to spin again, and I felt like I was getting drunk. I shook my head and coughed, then quickly sipped my water and said, "I'm full, thank you."
Wen Zhuo: "Let's exchange contact information. You can make an appointment in advance next time you come, and I'll arrange a table for you."
The wick was very poor right now, and asked embarrassedly, "Is it expensive?"
He's afraid he can't afford it if it's too expensive.
Wen Zhuo smiled and said, "I'll give you a 90% discount."
Nan Yu couldn't tell whether he was joking or serious. After finishing breakfast, she said shyly, "Thank you. Next time I come, I'll bring you some wontons that I made myself."
Wen Zhuo took a hard candy out of his pocket and handed it to Nan Yu: "Welcome."
A warm current seemed to flow through Dengxin's chest, bringing a touch of warmth to the otherwise hostile environment. Holding the candy, he happily went home.
Just as I entered, I bumped into Chen Xu, who was about to leave.
With a cigarette dangling from their mouths, Lin's parents were of average appearance, while Chen Xu was slightly better looking. This was partly due to his youth and partly because money could support him. The current Chen Xu was completely different from the one before.
People won't call him a jerk for smoking; they'll say he's cool and roguish.
Chen Xu was praised even for peeing when he was a child, and he thought he was handsome, especially when he looked in the mirror right after taking a shower. Now that he has money, he is the epitome of a nouveau riche.
Chen Xu saw Nan Yu smoking and scoffed.
He held the cigarette between his fingers, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said sarcastically, "Were you working as a gigolo or ordering a prostitute outside last night?"
Nan Yu: "..."
Chen Xu shoved him: "What are you looking at? I'm the son of the Lin family. Letting you stay is already a blessing you've accumulated over eight lifetimes!"
Nan Yu took a step back, not wanting to argue with him. Once she graduated, she could leave the Lin family. This world was strange; there were no missions, but he just couldn't leave. He had to follow the rules.
He doesn't provoke others.
Chen Xu caused him trouble.
If the other party ignores him, Chen Xu will be even more tempted to provoke them.
"What, you've become a gigolo? How much do you make in one night? Want me to get my buddies to patronize your business?"
Chen Xu was happy to humiliate him. Seeing Lin Xun's face turn red and he didn't know how to curse, he felt pleased.
"I don't."
After struggling for ages, all I could manage to come up with was this one sentence.
He didn't know what was wrong with him. Perhaps it was because of his upbringing, but when it came to arguing, he could only be one-sidedly crushed.
Chen Xu scoffed dismissively. Their voices, spoken at the doorway, reached Lin's mother's ears. She came over and, seeing Nan Yu who hadn't returned all night, Lin's mother looked displeased and questioned her:
"Where did you go last night?"
