Everything I Got from Online Shopping Was Legit

Chapter 22: Mrs. Jiang’s Invitation

With the appearance of a few young handsome men and beautiful women, as well as Old De Biao, an hour had already passed.

Sure enough, techniques about horseback riding appeared in his mind. It felt just like riding a bicycle—once one learned it, one would always know it, even if not practiced for years. The experience still remained in his mind.

“Che~ For every policy, there’s a countermeasure. I can’t squat horse stance for an hour, but I can definitely squat on a toilet for an hour.”

Lin Mo praised his own wit. Could a living person really be suffocated to death by holding in urine?

Let alone him, just a fragile college student—even during his peak physical condition in junior high, he still couldn’t squat for an hour.

But squatting on a toilet was different, especially with a phone. Staying inside for two hours was no problem at all.

Standing up, stretching his slightly sore legs, Lin Mo remarked that this time’s intensity was average.

After tidying up briefly, he applied a layer of anti-hair-loss tonic and went straight to bed.

Though he was still young and his hair volume was okay, ever since starting his internship, his hair loss had clearly increased compared to before. He already stayed up late, and work pressure was heavy. So when he saw this product, he immediately bought it without hesitation.

Money could always be earned slowly, but going bald into a Mediterranean look was absolutely unacceptable for him—not even in middle age.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Liu Rushuang tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.

If she hadn’t seen Yuan Meng’s face today, she wouldn’t have felt unbalanced. But since she had seen it, she couldn’t just act like nothing had happened.

A face was extremely important to any woman, and she was no exception.

Especially since childhood, though she never said it aloud, she had always been confident in her looks and figure. Even if her skin had worsened slightly these past two years because of work, she had never reduced the effort she put into her face.

If she had to compare, she would rather lose her career than her face. As long as her face remained youthful, she could live her entire life carefree.

And today, she truly envied Yuan Meng’s skin.

“There’s something wrong. That round face isn’t obvious, but it’s definitely whiter. But what’s even more obvious is him...”

Liu Rushuang narrowed her eyes, recalling her first meeting with Lin Mo. Although it had been in the car, after all, she had kissed him.

When she saw him again the next day, she thought it had just been the poor lighting in the car that night, so she hadn’t paid attention. But after not seeing him for a few days, the change in Lin Mo’s skin was visibly apparent—far better than before. Adding Yuan Meng’s changes into consideration, with her sharp mind, she quickly grasped the key.

“Looks like I need to find some time to ask him properly,” Liu Rushuang muttered. But realizing she didn’t even have Lin Mo’s contact information, and the next two days were holidays, she grew a little irritated. If only she had asked for it proactively.

Although she could easily ask someone in the company to pass her Lin Mo’s contact, that would seem too purposeful.

After thinking for a while, Liu Rushuang narrowed her eyes and muttered in a low voice: “Sorry, sister. This time, even if he’s your cousin, I still have to take a bite or two first!”

With her mind made up, Liu Rushuang smiled, planning to start by approaching Su He, that cousin, and sneaking in through the back door.

The night passed without incident.

The next day, Lin Mo slept until eleven in the morning. During this rare holiday, it would’ve been a waste not to sleep in.

After waking and washing up, his sulfur facial cleanser could finally retire today. Looking at himself in the mirror, Lin Mo thought, the guy in the mirror really was handsome (just like everyone else here).

Before, though he wasn’t ugly—his features were fine and delicate—he never stood out in a crowd, just an ordinary person. But now it was different. After all, fair skin covered a hundred flaws.

His looks and aura had risen by more than just one level. It felt like he had permanently welded Douyin’s beauty filters onto his face.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Lin Mo couldn’t help sighing. If he had this face before, how could he have stayed single? He would’ve had so many girlfriends he couldn’t count them.

Back then, he thought that once he entered university, he would be able to date. But reality proved that if no one liked you in high school, university was probably the same. After all, if you looked good, you wouldn’t have been single until college.

Three years in college—three years!—and he hadn’t even held a woman’s hand.

He was in his early twenties, strong, vigorous, with a normal orientation. Did anyone know how he had survived those three years? Did you know?

Yes, you knew!

Because you had been through it too! (Wahaha)

Coming out of the bathroom, Lin Mo opened the fridge to grab a can of Coke while skillfully opening the food delivery app.

Actually, his place had kitchen utensils and gas, but he really couldn’t cook, nor was he interested in learning.

After all, which young person nowadays didn’t rely on those “knights in yellow robes” to feed them?

He casually ordered a deluxe pork knuckle rice. Now that he had money, he couldn’t treat himself poorly. If the foreigner next door saw, he might think Lin Mo couldn’t afford it. Who could eat the regular version? Add extra pork knuckle, and another egg!

After lunch, Lin Mo did some light cleaning, then took out the gold necklace in his hand, ready to go out and cash it.

Just as he carried the trash downstairs, he ran into that wife in the elevator. She clearly recognized him too.

For a moment, the elevator was filled with awkward silence.

Soon, the elevator reached the first floor. The two stepped out one after the other.

“Um... I took down the ad. What I meant was that my internet speed is 2000 Mbps.”

As soon as they walked out, the woman, for some reason, explained with a somewhat embarrassed look. Even her gaze toward him was evasive.

“Mm, I know!”

Lin Mo smiled, then nodded politely and carried his trash out.

Seeing this, the woman couldn’t help feeling regretful. How could she embarrass herself so badly in front of such a handsome guy?

People were like that. Whenever facing an exceptionally good-looking member of the opposite sex, even without romantic intentions, one would subconsciously want to present the best version of oneself.

If the previous encounter had been ordinary, then this one was enough for the woman to remember him.

Walking out, Lin Mo looked back and indeed saw the ad on the door was gone. He couldn’t help smiling.

He then hailed a cab and went again to the same place where he had sold gold last time.

“The necklace is fine, 8 grams. Gold prices have fallen these past two days. Altogether, that’s 6,320. Does that work for you?” the boss asked.

Lin Mo naturally had no problem and nodded in agreement.

After he left, the gold shop owner was full of doubt.

“Even men who look like this still get treated as backup by women? Truly pitiful. Luckily, I got married early!”

Walking out, Lin Mo could clearly feel the strange look from the boss and decided that next time, no matter what, he wouldn’t come here again. He’d sell somewhere else.

That day, as he walked the streets, Lin Mo increasingly felt the change in his appearance. Many young girls who passed by looked at him with an expression he had never seen before.

How to put it? It felt really good. After all, every young man had vanity.

But just as he was enjoying it, Yuan Meng called him via voice chat.

“Hello, Sister Yuan.”

“Are you home?”

“No, I’m outside.”

“Send me your location. I’ll come pick you up.”

“Pick me up? For what?”

“My mom wants to meet you. She wants to invite you to dinner.”

Lin Mo: ...
