I Really Didn’t Want to Increase My Favorability!

Chapter 197

The kitten received a new name, and after much soothing from Xu Lin, even Chenpi finally let everyone pet it.

After the cat-petting session ended, Li Bin and Zhuo Yan each went home. Recently, since Ma Zhiyu got a girlfriend, or rather fiancée, there was no one to go home with Li Bin.

This made Xu Lin start to feel sorry for his friend and recall his life before being reborn.

Back then, although he hadn’t seen Li Bin for a long time, they chatted on WeChat, and he mentioned finding a girlfriend.

However, after graduating from university, the two of them broke up. Of course, many people comforted him.

After being reborn, as the butterfly that stirred everything, Xu Lin also changed the lives of Ma Zhiyu and Li Bin.

Originally, Ma Zhiyu, who was just an ordinary high school graduate set to inherit his family’s fruit shop, got a wife early.

Originally, Li Bin, who didn’t get into university, now had a high chance of getting in. His future would certainly be different from before when he graduated high school and went to work in a factory.

“Xu Lin, are you going straight home?”

“I plan to visit Senior Bai’s home for a while.”

“Visit my home?”

Hearing Ji Yun’s words, Bai Xiaoxiao got a bit flustered, feeling anxious about the state of her home.

“Senior Bai, you’re lowering your head again.”

Ji Yun directly grabbed her hand, her starry eyes fixated on her, making Bai Xiaoxiao feel less nervous.

“Alright, if you want to go, let’s go. Follow me closely; my place is a bit tricky to find.”

“Okay. What about you, Xu Lin?”

“I went there at noon. I won’t go; I have something to do.”

As Xu Lin spoke, Teacher Su walked over and said to Ji Yun and the others, “He’s coming to my place for dinner.”

Su Qingwan, what are you doing? Why are you throwing out a challenge card directly? Ji Yun has more people on her side!

Xu Lin didn’t dare to interrupt. Bai Xiaoxiao also looked at him for help, as if to ask what was going on and what she should do.

But this time, Ji Yun seemed very calm, unlike last time when she was flustered by Teacher Su’s words.

“Go ahead, I’m fine with it.”

Ji Yun’s confident smile even made Su Qingwan pause and recall the first time she met this girl.

It was when she had just started teaching English in Class 7 and was looking for an English class representative. As she was about to ask the homeroom teacher who had the best English grades, she walked into the office and was captivated by a pair of beautiful eyes and a confident smile. Without even asking about grades, she chose her.

“Yes, we shouldn’t see each other as enemies.”

At this moment, Su Qingwan also changed her perspective. She shouldn’t view Ji Yun as just a student, but from another angle.

“Yes, we’re actually friends with a common enemy.”

Ji Yun glanced at Xu Lin, causing his heart to race a bit. Has the class monitor recently started learning how to act like the main wife?

“Ahem, I’m just going to have dinner.”

“Enjoy your meal. Will you be back tonight?”

“Yes, haha, Ji Yun, stop teasing me.”

“Okay. Teacher Su, drive safely.”

“I will. I’ll go get the car.”

“Okay.”

Watching Teacher Su walk away, Xu Lin quickly ran to Ji Yun’s side and held her hand.

“How did you learn to act like Chu Fengyi?”

“I didn’t.”

“Stop teasing me. I’m really just going for dinner. I helped Teacher Su with something last time. You know, it was about Jia Qing.”

“Yes, I didn’t say anything. Just come back early and don’t worry your parents.”

“Okay, I won’t make you worry.”

“Who said I’m worried? Even if you don’t come back, I won’t be worried. Hmph!”

Although Ji Yun tried to keep a cold face, she couldn’t help but smile.

“You should go home early too. Senior Bai’s place is quite remote, and it’s not very safe at night, especially for a girl.”

“If you don’t mind, you can stay at my place.”

Bai Xiaoxiao also grabbed Ji Yun’s other hand, making Ji Yun feel a bit awkward.

The boy she liked was holding one of her hands, and her friend (and rival in love) was holding the other. This scene…

“Then let’s go.” Ji Yun shook off Xu Lin’s hand and walked directly towards her bike.

“You can take my cat, Chenpi, home. It’s not good to bring a cat when visiting someone for dinner.”

“Alright, I’ll inform Auntie and the others. If you get delayed and come back late, give them a call to let them know.”

“Okay.”

He actually disliked people nagging about such small matters, but Ji Yun’s strength lay in her gentle tone and serious eyes. They melted your heart, and you couldn’t help but listen and follow her instructions.

“Teacher Su is here. I’ll take care of Chenpi. Little guy, want some cat treats?”

“If you like, you can keep him for two days.”

“My mom would kill me. Hurry up and go.”

After saying this, Xu Lin walked towards Su Qingwan, while Bai Xiaoxiao looked sideways at Ji Yun.

“Is there something on my face?”

“I just feel that no one suits Xu Lin better than you, Ji Yun.”

“Whether I’m suitable or not isn’t up to me. I’m just an ordinary high school girl who likes an ordinary high school boy.”

“If I could learn from your magnanimity, I might become stronger too.”

“But I’m too magnanimous… which has led to…”

Ji Yun recalled Xu Lin’s confession that day, asking her to be his girlfriend, and how she hadn’t nodded at the time.

This has led to more and more rivals, and she was helpless. But now, she didn’t regret it that much.

Because life is long, she wasn’t mature enough yet, and neither was Xu Lin firm enough. Growth was what they both needed most.

Let time slowly simmer it. Whether it turns out bitter or sweet, at least it will be a taste she made herself.

However, Miss Ji Yun didn’t know that as soon as her prospective husband got in the car, Su Qingwan took off his jacket.

“What are you doing?”

Xu Lin pretended to be shy as he looked at Su Qingwan in the driver’s seat. She tossed a shopping bag at him.

“What is this?”

“Clothes I bought for you.”

“I wore casual clothes under my school uniform just for today.”

As Xu Lin spoke, he suddenly remembered that Chu Qingchan and Chu Fengyi had bought him a five-thousand-yuan work jacket last time.

At that time, he had jokingly thought that if twelve girls bought him clothes, he wouldn’t need to buy any himself. Was this the start?

“My dad is pretty old-fashioned and likes formal clothes. So I bought you a little trench coat with a bit of a British style.”

“What pants are you wearing?”

“Casual black pants.” Xu Lin took off his baggy school uniform pants, revealing the black pants underneath.

“Not bad, just like that. Wear this trench coat. My dad might not be home yet, so we can go get some ice cream.”

“You really remembered.”

Xu Lin recalled that after he was reborn, his first conversation with Su Qingwan ended with them going to get ice cream.

Unexpectedly, this triggered the system.

According to the system’s sequence, was Su Qingwan the primary wife?

“What’s with that expression? Don’t you want to go shopping with me?”

Su Qingwan pouted, suddenly feeling that Xu Lin had been deliberately distancing himself from her lately.

“No, it’s not that.”

“Xu Lin, even if you got rid of being my husband, don’t think you’re getting away with it.”

Su Qingwan joked, her eyes looking at Xu Lin’s face in the rearview mirror, waiting for his response or his attitude.

“Well, wait until you find a boyfriend.”

“What if I can’t find one?” Su Qingwan was determined today; she needed an answer.

“Then I’ll always be your boyfriend.”

“You better not be lying to me!”

“I won’t.”

Looking at the smiling Su Qingwan, Xu Lin felt that Teacher Su was really the type who appeared mature on the outside but was a little girl at heart.

You’d think she was a sophisticated woman, but she’s actually a cute, sweet girl.

“Then let’s go. What do you want to eat?”

“I want to eat a big ice cream cone from Xinghuo Road.”

“Okay, then let’s go.”
