Chapter 223

But the other person immediately averted her gaze, continuing to focus on the dog and cat food, then handed it to Chu Qingchan and the others.

Xu Lin opened QQ and looked at the nickname Xing Mimi.

Unsurprisingly, this must be Xing Mimi, right?

He didn’t want to disturb her since she was just a fellow reader, with her own life and work.

He felt it was a coincidence that they were in the same city, but this coincidence seemed a bit too much. Not only had she been exposed, but he had also revealed his identity.

Fortunately, she didn’t seem like a crazed fan. It’s better to act like nothing happened to avoid any awkward situations.

“Hey, hey, big brother, why are you ignoring me?” Xu Lin instantly got goosebumps upon hearing Liu Qinnuan’s voice.

“There are so many people here, are you trying to mess with me?”

“Haha, you promised to pick me up. Not only did you not come, but you also sent Miss Chu. Are you trying to show me who’s boss?”

“She wanted to go herself; I couldn’t stop her.”

“So, I traveled all this way, and you didn’t come to welcome me.”

“Welcome Liu Qinnuan, the big star, to our little place, Linshui.”

Xu Lin’s tone was very perfunctory, but Liu Qinnuan just smiled. If Xu Lin were serious or purely gentle, she would feel a bit nervous.

“Did you arrange dinner for me since I came here?”

“No, you chose to travel here yourself. I never said I’d take care of your food, clothing, and accommodation. Handle it yourself.”

“You’re so heartless?”

“Yes.”

“Then I’ll ask Miss Chu.”

“Go ahead. I just got off school, and she’s been busy finding a house all day; she has no time to arrange dinner.”

“I’m hungry.” Liu Qinnuan puffed up her cheeks and pouted, sitting on a small stool nearby, holding her stomach.

“What’s wrong? Pregnant? Whose is it? Tell your sister!” Chu Fengyi walked over and started with her sharp tongue.

“She’s just a little girl, don’t joke about that.” Xu Lin quickly stopped Chu Fengyi. Some jokes are okay, but not this one.

“Hey, it’s been almost half a month since someone practiced with me.”

“Master, this disciple has been unwell recently.”

Chu Fengyi gave an accusatory look, making Liu Qinnuan feel that the term “practice” had taken on a different meaning.

They wandered around the pet cabin for a while, then Su Qingwan’s phone rang. After answering, she had to leave.

“There’s something at home, I need to go.”

“I’ll go too,” Qin Yunhe said, ready to leave with her best friend.

“Hey? We were planning to have dinner together. Miss Liu rarely comes, let’s go eat something.”

Although Xu Lin didn’t say it, Chu Qingchan had just discussed with Ji Yun to book a private room at a nearby restaurant.

“Don’t worry, Wanwan’s family is fine. It’s just that her father’s old friend came over, so she had to go home for a meal.”

“Okay, are you going home too?”

“Yes, I have to have dinner with my dad every week.”

“By the way, you don’t live with your dad?”

“He likes peace and quiet, especially after my mom passed away. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have had the chance that day; I would have gone straight home.”

“That wasn’t… about the medicine. If we had gone to your place, we would have made headlines.”

“Honey~ Can you take me shopping tomorrow?”

Xu Lin originally wanted to reply that he had to go to the shop tomorrow and show Liu Qinnuan around. But then he thought, they hadn’t actually gone on a date yet. If he couldn’t even manage this little thing, so he replied.

“Okay.”

“Love you!”

“What are you grinning about? Who’s on your phone?”

“Ah! You scared me… My dear Miss Chu, what’s up?”

“Come practice singing with me tomorrow.”

“I have something to do tomorrow.”

“Who are you going on a date with?” Chu Qingchan squinted her eyes and stared at his phone. Xu Lin quickly turned off the screen. If she saw “honey,” he would probably be torn apart by the girls.

“Teacher Su. Ji Yun should have told you, right? Teacher Su is using me as a shield. She wants me to go with her on an outing tomorrow.”

“Your schedule is quite busy, isn’t it?”

“My dear superstar, I just like to help others.”

“Forget it. If you doesn’t want to go, so be it. But what about Liu Qinnuan? She’s here in Linshui; we can’t just ignore her.”

“Leave it to you or Chu Fengyi?”

“You really think so? Chu Fengyi would mess her up.”

“Then Ji Yun?”

“Ji Yun still has to study and is already so tired.”

“Then who should I ask?”

“Figure it out yourself!”

After saying that, she quickly walked ahead.

Xu Lin shook his head helplessly and followed her. Tomorrow’s matters can wait until tomorrow.
