I Really Didn't Want to Increase My Favorability!

Chapter 23

Coming back home, Xu Lin put away the umbrella given to him by Teacher Su and then heard a clattering sound from the kitchen, as if a bowl or cup had broken!

He hurried over and saw Chu Qingchan, still in her pyjamas, with both hands raised in mid-air and the floor covered with many porcelain shards.

Xu Lin, sorry, I broke your plates.

Its okay; dont move. Let me clean up first, so you dont step on anything.

He quickly went over, tossing large pieces into the trash with his hands, then sweeping up the smaller bits and collecting them with a dustpan.

However, there were still very small pieces that couldnt be swept up. Since there was no vacuum cleaner or robot in the house, he had to pick them up one by one.

By the way, why are you barefoot? Even though the floor is cleaned every day, its not as pristine as you might think.

Xu Lin glanced at Chu Qingchan, who didnt even have her socks on. He couldnt help but smile helplessly.

Xu Lin stood up, opened the system store with his mind, and found the section for purchasing constitution points. It only costs 4000 points, the cheapest of the three attributes.

Since his base value was very low, he could improve it through exercise, but there was a shortcut now, so he decided to take it easy.

Instantly, over 21,000 points decreased by 4000. He suddenly felt a heat in his body, but there were no other sensations.

Then he continued the task, for which he just strengthened himself by stretching his arms and putting all his strength into his body. He reached out and hugged Chu Qingchan.

Chu Qingchan was startled and wanted to struggle, but then realized that he was trying to carry her outside.

Even though it was just 4 points of constitution, Xu Lin still managed to lift her quite steadily. The reason was simpleshe was too light.

With such a great figure and being so light, he couldnt figure out how she achieved this. Is this the charm value of 9?

As he took her to the side without the broken fragments, Xu Lin was ready to let her go, but feeling the warmth and tempting fragrance from her, he hesitated for a few seconds.

Then he felt a pain at his waist; he had been attacked by her nails again.

Had enough of hugging?

No. He spoke righteously without being pretentious.

Do you want another hug?

May I?

Cant!

Okay, but next time you are in front of me, youd better wear long pants; otherwise, I might unintentionally touch your leg.

Xu Lin looked at her straight and slender, white, porcelain-like legs, which everyone probably likes.

To be honest, every man wants to touch such straight, long legs.

Mr. Xu, you said I had a problem last time. But you obviously have more problems than me, right?!

There is no problem with it. Because no matter how perverted a man is, its not a problem.

But it feels like you have lost a lot of strength. You didnt have any trouble helping me carry my suitcase that far that day.

Its because Im sick. I went to school this morning, and my fever started again. I got an injection at the school hospital.

Xu Lin was embarrassed to say that he didnt have much energy in the first place. He just got the Real Man Experience Voucher that day. He might not know when it will be refreshed next time.

You were feverish again?

Im fine now, but Im a little weak and dont have much energy.

Then why didnt you ask me to take a taxi to pick you up? Did you get wet all the way?

Chu Qingchan couldnt help but feel worried again. The situation last night reminded her of the time before her grandfather passed away.

Teacher Su sent me back; its okay.

Teacher Su?

Yeah, our classs English teacher. Xu Lin squatted on the ground, picking up the fragments piece by piece with his fingernails.

By the way, are you going to school tomorrow morning?

If I dont go to school, what will I do?

Come with me to visit Ms. Guan.

Do you think its appropriate for me to go?

I think a genius composer like you would have a great appeal to her.

No, shes already an excellent composer herself. What I can do pales in comparison to her talent. So, you going there as a new singer might be better.

Well, if you dont want to go, then forget it. But for the script, you should practice in advance.

That commercial video?

Yes, there arent many lines for you, but they do exist. Plus, theres a lot of body language and action. You cant afford to forget them.

Okay, since Ive agreed, Ill practice well. But I have exams coming up soon. How about I practice seriously over the weekend?

Sure, I believe youll be a promising talent.

After cleaning the kitchen, Xu Lin suddenly realised, Why did she come to the kitchen to wash dishes?

Have you eaten?

No, I have.

Did you eat or not? I havent had dinner, and I dont feel like cooking. Im planning to order takeout. If you want, Ill get you a meal.

Sure, order one for me too.

So you havent eaten, then why are you washing dishes?

Uh Chu Qingchan suddenly felt a bit embarrassed and pointed to the nearby trash bin.

He looked inside, and chunks of black, unidentified substances appeared in his sight. Whats this?

I wanted to make lunch earlier, waiting for you to come back and eat. I saw pork ribs in the fridge, so I tried braising them a bit. However

They turned into black-braised ribs.

Yeah. She awkwardly nodded. Ill compensate you for the meat. Ill treat you to lunch. Now, let me search for it on my phone.

Is the gas turned off below? Xu Lin asked, and Chu Qingchan, with her eyes widening, suddenly jumped up from the sofa.

Ill do it. Dont give yourself a headache; its already leaked.

Xu Lin shut off the gas and realised somethingindeed, theres no such thing as a completely perfect person. No matter how excellent Chu Qingchan is outside, there are things shes not good at.

*Ding dong!*

Then the doorbell rang, interrupting his thoughts. Chu Qingchan wanted to open the door, but Xu Lin pointed to her clothes, and she directly ran into the bedroom.

He walked over quickly to open the door, and as he did, he was stunned. Outside the door stood a doll-like figure.

About 15 or 16 years old, with golden flowing hair and a pair of light blue, gem-like eyes. Wearing a beautiful Lolita-style dress, she had a sweet smile on her lips.

Hello, whats the matter?

Hello, handsome brother, is my sister here?

Before he could finish, the other person had already answered him in Chinese. He was also surpriseda sister? A foreigners sister, and in Linshui, where you rarely see foreigners.

Sorry, I havent seen a foreigner in a long time, let alone your sister.

No, my sisters name is Chu Qingchan.

Xu Lin was instantly stunned. Chu Qingchans sister is a foreigner, but she doesnt have any foreign blood. No, maybe a cousin or a stepsister? But he quickly grasped a point: Chu Qingchan probably doesnt want others to find her. As her friend

Sorry, I dont know anyone named Chu Qingchan.

Really then, sorry for the disturbance. The other person nodded slightly and turned to leave.

He breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment, the girl abruptly turned around, directly bumping into him. Xu Lin instinctively tried to block, but the girl had already slipped through the gap.

Hey hey! Miss, this is called trespassing on a private residence. If it were in your beautiful country, a full magazine of bullets would have been fired by now.
