I Really Didn’t Want to Increase My Favorability!

Chapter 101

The conversation went on like this. Originally, it was Ji Yun questioning her father, but now it turned into his ex-mother-in-law and father-in-law interrogating their son-in-law.

This added a lot of pressure on Xu Lin, but fortunately, Ji Yun was there to intervene and ease the situation, making him feel a little better.

Xu Lin, your family conditions are pretty good, right? How many people are there in your family?

Dad, you havent finished discussing your own matters yet. Lets not talk about anything else. Your affair and the pain you caused Aunt Yao back then were simply wrong. Its normal to feel guilty now, and Mom should treat her properly.

Ji Yun interrupted her fathers questioning of Xu Lin, ranging from academic achievements to owning a car and a house, and the size of his family and land.

You should discuss that with Mom.

Really?

If she comes back and doesnt make trouble with me and Yao Yun, then I wont be surnamed Ji!

Back then, it was your fault anyway. Now that Aunt Yao is in this state, both of you should take care of her for a while.

Upon hearing Ji Yuns impassioned words, Xu Lin nodded helplessly. Class Monitor Ji had always been so kind.

Even if it was her own parents mistake, she would support what was right rather than siding with them just because they were her parents.

Yao Yun beside her was also a bit moved and almost teary-eyed. Ji Yun hurriedly approached, took a tissue, and helped her wipe away the tears.

Auntie Yao, youre not wrong. My dads divorce from you did hurt you. Although they are my parents, I must also distinguish right from wrong.

Youre a good kid.

Alright, Auntie Yao, if you need anything, just ask him. I understand the situation now, and Ill have a good talk with my mom.

Dont, dont get angry with them because of me. Im also on my way out.

Thats not okay.

Okay, child, dont you still have friends? Dont neglect them.

Yao Yun let go of Ji Yuns hand and then glanced at Xu Lin, and he also understood.

Then Ji Yun, lets go over there first, dont come over to hurry us up.

Okay. She nodded, knowing that this matter needed to be dealt with promptly or she would have to have a serious talk with her mother.

Goodbye, uncle. Come to my house when you have time.

Lets talk about it when Im free. Ji Datong hurriedly said. Although he had just asked questions like he was interrogating a son-in-law, he felt embarrassed to treat his prospective son-in-law so informally.

Watching Xu Lin and Ji Yun leave side by side, Yao Yun looked at Ji Datong and said, This young man is good. I hope he wont be as fickle as you.

When have I ever been fickle? Ji Datong awkwardly took a sip of his wine. Before we divorced, I didnt have a formal relationship with her mother.

But thats my failure. Anyway, you have a good daughter, and I quite like her. If I could Id really like to have her as a goddaughter.

Xu Lin and Ji Yun walked towards the direction of Su Qingwan, and she suddenly realized something: who did Xu Lin come to eat with?

But it must be a girl, theres no escaping that! Its not big sister Chu. That Teacher Chu has also gone out and hasnt come back yet. The physical education classes are all substituted by other teachers.

However, she wouldnt ask Xu Lin who it was. If she did, it would seem like she was too concerned about him, and she didnt want to appear that way.

Xu Lin also noticed Ji Yuns scattered thoughts, feeling quite happy inside. Although this girl is young, she seems to understand his thoughts the best.

But when they arrived, Ji Yun saw a familiar figure and was stunned. Why is it Teacher Su? Although she had joined them for a meal last time too, she had only briefly picked them up in her car. Compared to the Chu sisters obvious glances at Xu Lin, Teacher Su didnt even spare Xu Lin a glance.

However, since they were eating together, it is obvious that the two of them are quite familiar with each other.

When did they become so familiar?

Thinking about it, last time when Xu Lin had a fever, it was Teacher Su who took him to the infirmary. And she even stayed with him for more than one class period, then voluntarily took him home afterward.

Teachers may care about students, but they wouldnt express concern like this.

Something feels off, maybe its not right. But a romantic relationship between a teacher and a student that seems unlikely, right?

Ji Yun felt a bit dizzy, but as she approached, she saw a girl opposite, with dark but beautiful skin.

She suddenly felt like she didnt understand Xu Lin very well, or rather, she didnt understand his strong appeal to women. Perhaps hes not a womanizer, but just naturally attractive?

Hello, Teacher Su.

Ji Yun, quickly sit down. Theres too much food to finish. Su Qingwan hastily pulled Ji Yuns hand and sat her down beside her.

There were only two seats available, so Xu Lin had to sit next to Qin Yunhe. But as soon as he sat down, Qin Yunhe, who was still picking at her food, stiffened, as if she had gone from 2x speed to 0.5x speed.

Move away from me.

Qin Yunhe whispered a sentence, and Xu Lin also shifted uncomfortably. But when he met Ji Yuns gaze across the table, he froze.

Damn it! Just now he saw Father Ji and directly notified Ji Yun, but he forgot about this policewoman.

At this point, Qin Yunhe completely believed that he and Su Qingwan were a couple, considering him an adult. But if Ji Yun talked too much, he would end up being exposed.

He picked up his chopsticks with one hand, while his other hand secretly opened his phone under the table, quickly composing a message and sending it to Su Qingwan across from him.

The matter between us, will Ji Yun expose us? My bad, I forgot about it.

Su Qingwans phone buzzed as well, but Xu Lin pretended not to hear, casually sipping on his drink.

Just now Xu Lin mentioned your family situation to me. Is everything resolved? Su Qingwan glanced at her phone, then casually placed it aside, stealing a glance at him, indicating that the matter was now in her hands.

Yeah, its temporarily resolved, I guess.

I wont pry further, but if you encounter any difficulties, you must tell me.

Although I cant offer much help, being older than you, I can offer guidance and chat with you. Outside of school, Im not your teacher, so I can be like your sister.

Listening, Ji Yun, nodded in agreement. She felt that Teacher Su was indeed very kind and gentle, but there was something strange in her words.

Two years older than me, outside of school, shes not a teacher, shes her sister, and it always feels like

Um, thank you, sisterteacherSu, Im not quite used to it.

No problem, you can call me whatever you like.

Oh, this is my best friend, Qin Yunhe.

Hello, Sister Qin.

Hello, Qin Yunhe replied with a smile, then glanced at Xu Lin.

As for the recent English homework in our class

Then the two started chatting about English class, after all, one was the class monitor and the other was the English teacher.

Xu Lin and Qin Yunhe couldnt join the conversation, so Qin Yunhe silently looked at him again.

Xu Lin, how did you meet a high school girl?

Sister Qin, were from the same school, we knew each other before, and Ive only graduated for two years.

Oh, I forgot my familys Wanwan is robbing the cradle.

If Qingwan knows, she might give you a punch or two.

She wouldnt, but whats your relationship with this girl?

Relationship? Why are you asking like that?

Based on my years of handling cases, theres something between you two, not just a simple student relationship.

How do you know? Xu Lin asked with a calm smile.

I really dont believe it. Ji Yun didnt look at me much, nor did she have much intimate contact or conversation with me, how could it seem like its not a normal relationship?

When you two walked over just now, Ji Yuns head involuntarily leaned towards you, showing that she feels safe with you.

And when she sat down, she was actually facing more towards me, but her toes were pointing towards you. When I asked you to move aside, her toes also adjusted involuntarily.

Umpsychology? Xu Lin hadnt expected such a statement. But it seems quite accurate.

Yeah, I read it in a book.

Books can be wrong, and there are plenty of fake psychological works.

This book is very famous, called something like Emotions and Mind'

As a police officer, you should be rigorous. Look, even your legs are facing towards me. Do you like me?

You shameless man, I havent settled the matter with you yet.

I told Wanwan, it wasnt intentional.

Dont!

But as Xu Lin teased the other party, a series of screams and shouts came from outside.

Whats going on?

People in the restaurant stood up and looked outside, many of them rushing in.

Theres a tiger outside! Several people who ran in shouted.

A tiger? How is that possible!? Are you kidding me? The people inside laughed, thinking it was a joke.

Its true!

Linshui Zoo doesnt have tigers!

Its true! Everyone, dont go outside!

Xu Lin stood up and looked outside through the glass. The crowd was running westward, and vehicles were jammed, making it impossible to see clearly.

The next moment, a deafening roar came from outside, and the room suddenly fell silent, then became noisy again.

Damn, there really is a tiger!
