I Really Didn't Want to Increase My Favorability!

Chapter 94



Chapter 94

Although I intended to contact the other person early, we didnt become WeChat friends until the next morning.

Is this Xu Lin?

Its me.

Sorry, I went straight to bed after work yesterday and didnt check my phone until now.

No problem, youre working for the people after all, hard work.

Its not hard. Shall we meet in person or chat on the phone?

Lets talk in person.

Okay, Ill let Wanwan know.

Sure.

Xu Lin couldnt help but smile helplessly. Is this sister really afraid to interact with him? Would her best friend be unhappy if she found out? Am I that kind of person?!

As long as its not one of the twelve zodiac signs, I, Xu Lin, absolutely wont have any ulterior motives.

Although being completely focused is unrealistic, at least I should have a proper attitude towards twelve people.

Although twelve is not very realistic and belongs to the level of daydreaming, it doesnt stop him from eating a few bites of peaches.

After waiting for half a minute, the other party sent a voice message, saying to meet her at the gym on Xinghuo Street in half an hour.

The gym why didnt I think of going to the gym at that time? Next time, Ill tell Chu Fengyi and find a professional place to train, which would be nice.

After tidying up a bit, Xu Lin was about to set off when his editor, Lan Ou, messaged him on QQ.

Lan Ou: Do you want to publish at the beginning of the month?

Xu Lin: Are you saying we cant make it to Sanjiang this week?

Lan Ou: No, when you go to Sanjiang, it happens to be during the free trial period. I suggest pushing for publication before then. What do you think?

Xu Lin: Of course, its already 280,000 words.

Lan Ou: Then Ill submit it. Your book is really well-written, opening up a new style, albeit a niche one.

Xu Lin: After all, its different from genres like fantasy and martial arts, which have better channels for promotion.

Lan Ou: But I believe it will do well. What surprises me the most is your age; youre still a minor, and theres a guardian page in the contract for you.

Xu Lin: Just a little talent.

Lan Ou: Thats not just a little talent. Dont be modest, but keep working hard. Many authors peak with one book and then cant grow further.

Xu Lin: I also appreciate your recommendations along the way.

Lan Ou: Good, remember to stockpile more drafts. If you dont have enough time due to school, stockpile fewer, but dont rush.

Xu Lin: Got it.

After closing the window, Xu Lin suddenly realized something: time flies so fast! Its already November, and the year is coming to an end. Sighing, he put on a thicker coat and headed outside. However, Li Yuan, who had just returned from the night shift, stopped him.

Mom, whats up? Arent you tired after the night shift? Why arent you sleeping?

What are you going out for?

I have something to do.

Going to meet a girl?

Yeah, its a girl. Xu Lin didnt have anything to hide.

Hey, hey, Xu Lin, I havent talked to you recently. Youre getting more and more out of line.

What do you mean by out of line? Xu Lin looked puzzled and sat down beside Li Yuan.

You already have so many girls around you, and they are all good. Dont think about bringing any more to our home for your old mom.

Haha, Im not that capable. They are all just friends. Right now, my mind is only focused on studying!

Xu Lin looked at his mother, who gave him a glare, and he noticed some things he hadnt paid attention to before.

His mother was getting old. When his parents had him, it wasnt particularly early. His mother was already 25 years old at the time, and now shes 42.

Although compared to before he crossed over, she seemed a bit younger now, wrinkles had begun to appear on her face, and her posture isnt as straight as before, her fatigue becoming more apparent.

Thinking about his past life, when he graduated from college and was just idling around, he suddenly felt guilty. If it werent for the money from the demolition, his parents might not been able to depend on him.

Suddenly, he felt a bit remorseful, and Li Yuan also sensed her sons change, grabbing his hand.

Whats wrong? You seem upset as soon as I speak?

Im not upset, just suddenly feel like you guys are getting older, and I should work harder.

Alright, stop talking and focus on your studies. Get into a good university, make your mom happy.

Of course, Ill even bring you a few daughters-in-law!

See, youre quite the player, but in the end, youll have to choose just one. As long as it doesnt affect your studies, your mom wont bother you. Im quite open-minded.

Thanks, mom.

By the way, why is neither Qingchan nor Ji Yun have been around lately?

Chu Qingchan is living across from Ji Yun. Shes out studying during the day, so if you want to talk to her, visit her at night; shes usually home.

Okay, Im heading out.

Will you come back for lunch?

No, Ill grab something outside. You rest well. Once your sons income stabilizes, I wont let you and Old Xu work so hard.

Then we need to work hard too. Cant retire at 40.

Although she said so, Li Yuan couldnt help but smile when she saw her son so ambitious. Then Xu Lin got up and walked outside directly, while Li Yuan also got up to go back to the room to sleep. But the next moment, she suddenly cried out in pain!

Xu Lin hurriedly turned around, rushed to his mothers side, and supported her with a look of anxiety on his face. Mom! Are you feeling unwell?

Having just recently seen the Bai familys parents entering the hospital, he was even more afraid of any health issues with his own parents.

Its just that I accidentally hit my leg while riding a bike yesterday, its a bit bruised, I applied some medicine.

Should I take you for an X-ray?

No need, really, its just a superficial injury.

Well wait, let me get something.

Xu Lin suddenly remembered the bead he hadnt used yet. It was set aside after being interrupted that day, and he hadnt thought of trying it out these past few days. He took out the green bead from the small box in the bedroom and ran to the living room, surprising Li Yuan.

What is this?

Its a very high-tech gadget. Putting this on the skin can help treat some injuries and pain.

Son, youre a high school student after all, this obviously looks like a scam. Where did you buy this from? Dont tell me you picked it up from the roadside, glass beads or something?

Oh Mom, I wouldnt do that~ Just try it and youll see.

Xu Lin squatted down and placed the bead on his mothers knee. There was no immediate effect, which made Xu Lin a bit nervous.

Could it be that it doesnt work?

There are many fake things online But before she could finish, Li Yuans expression changed.

It seems

Is it working?

It seems like the pain is gone?

Try standing up? Xu Lin helped his mother stand up again, and Li Yuan nodded hurriedly.

Not bad, not bad, the pain is completely gone, this is too miraculous! Where can I buy more?

This was given by your daughter-in-law.

Which daughter-in-law?

Haha, Mom, look at you. You were still doubting me. Now you said it yourself, youve been caught red-handed!

You rascal, as long as youre capable, bring them home. Im happy as long as your mother likes the pretty daughters-in-law.

Alright, Im off. Cant delay any longer, its business, not visiting any daughter-in-law.

After saying that, Xu Lin quickly left home, afraid of being late and leaving a bad impression on the other party, especially since he was asking for her help.

So he hailed a cab directly, and about 15 minutes later, arrived at the Pingjili Gym on Xinghuo Road.

Because Lingshui is a small place, this gym is also the only gym in Lingshui and the largest.

Entering the gym, the receptionist greeted him with a slight bow and a smile.

Hello, sir, how can I help you?

Hello, Im looking for Miss Qin Yunhe, Miss Qin.

Miss Qin is on the competitive stage upstairs. You can go up directly using those stairs. Lei, please assist.

Okay. The young man next to him, wearing a sports vest with arms almost as thick as his legs, nodded and led the way, and Xu Lin followed.

Is it your first time at the gym, little brother?

Yes.

These days, young peoples health isnt great. Your physique seems a bit weak. If you want to train, you can look for me later. Im Hong Lei.

Im not promoting, Im not a coach here, I just come here every day, its free.

Thank you so much, brother Lei.

No problem, but whats your relationship with Qin Yunhe? He lowered his voice, his eyes shining.

Alright, no wonder hes so enthusiastic.

Turns out hes asking about Qin Yunhe. Men, huh~
