I Really Didn’t Want to Increase My Favorability!

Chapter 132

“Xu Lin, let’s have some okonomiyaki.”

[T/N: It’s a kind of pancake.]

“Coming!”

Xu Lin slowly regained his senses, walked to the table, and saw a plate of golden okonomiyaki. He picked one up and took a bite.

Since he didn’t like potatoes, he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to eat them. But he was surprised to find that he could actually swallow it after taking a bite.

Moreover, it was quite delicious. It seems the seasoning is quite good. But he didn’t expect Ji Yun to be able to make this kind of Japanese food.

“Xu Lin, this dish was actually made by Sister Fengyi. I made a mistake halfway through and messed up the seasoning a bit.”

“As a result, we ran out of potatoes, so I added some extra meat stuffing to these. It was all Sister Fengyi’s help.”

“Sister Fengyi?”

She called her quite affectionately. Xu Lin looked at the two of them, judging solely by appearances, Ji Yun looked more like an older sister.

“Hey! Xu Lin, what’s with that look!”

As Chu Fengyi looked at Xu Lin’s expression, she kicked at him with her foot, but Xu Lin caught it directly.

“Master, your foot speed is slow.”

Xu Lin chuckled and scratched the small foot in his hand, causing Chu Fengyi to suddenly slip off the sofa!

Xu Lin quickly caught her, and her small figure fell directly into his arms, his hand accidentally sliding into her clothes.

It was slippery, like touching satin, but he dared not move randomly, afraid of getting his arm disabled.

Fortunately, Chu Fengyi seemed not to have felt anything. She just casually said, “Xu Lin, don’t touch my feet randomly!”

Chu Fengyi threw a punch at him, frightening him into quickly closing his eyes!

But the next moment, he felt a slight pain on his forehead, as if he’d been hit on the noggin?

Such a familiar sensation… it’s like in the past life. Wei Ran also enjoyed tapping his noggin, a little gesture known only to the two of them.

“Sorry, sorry, I just did it casually…”

“Be careful, next time I might not hold back, and just kick you to death!”

Chu Fengyi said menacingly, revealing a pair of sharp little fangs.

“Okay, master.”

“Speaking of which, Chu Qingchan isn’t ticklish on her feet. Why don’t you try touching her… Also, get your dog paws out of my clothes.”

This remark from Chu Fèngyi reminded Xu Lín of the first time he met Chu Qingchan and dared to touch her feet.

He was indeed bold!

The socially anxious boy actually dared to touch the feet of a big celebrity. But now he has grown quite a bit, mainly in terms of having thicker skin.

Perhaps the process of maturing for men is just the process of thickening their skin.

“Xu Lín, are you still eating? If not, I’ll put it in the fridge.”

But at this moment, Miss Ji Yun interrupted him and picked up the plate.

“But I haven’t finished eating yet?” Xu Lin looked bewildered as he hadn’t finished it yet.

“Oh, I thought you didn’t want to eat anymore?”

“I want to eat!”

Xu Lin hurriedly put Chu Fengyi on the sofa, then went to grab the potato pancake, but was stared at by Ji Yun again.

“Go wash your hands.”

“Okay, okay.”

Xu Lin now understood that Monitor Ji is jealous. He didn’t expect Miss Ji Yun, who has always been gentle, to have such moments.

He sneaked a glance at Ji Yun, although her face remained calm, her eyes made him feel uneasy.

But as soon as Xu Lin entered the restroom, Ji Yun’s face turned red suddenly as she looked at Chu Fengyi beside her. She whispered,

“Sister Fengyi… Is it okay for me to behave like this?”

“It’s okay. Let me tell you, in front of men, you must show a bit of dominance. Being too kind to them will only make them more audacious.”

“Is that so?”

“Of course! Ji Yun, you’re still young and don’t understand these things.”

“Mm.”

Although she didn’t quite understand what the other party meant, she could only nod in agreement.

“Actually, I’m just worried that you might be fooled into bed by Xu Lin before you’re ready for it.”

“How could that be… Xu Lin isn’t like that!”

To be honest, she had never thought about this issue before, and Xu Lin wouldn’t force her. Besides, they were both minors, so that kind of thing…

“Don’t be too shy about it~ It’s something all girls have to face.” Chu Fengyi looked at the girl who was blushing furiously and found it quite amusing.

At least this girl isn’t like Chu Qingchan.

If she teased her a bit, she’ll definitely come back with an expressionless face saying, ‘Chu Fengyi! Isn’t it boring?’

“I know, Xu Lin will respect me.”

“Of course I know this, but that leads to another point to talk about.”

“Men have instincts too. If suppressed for too long, they might be lured away by those proactive girls, and that could be dangerous.”

“But I believe in Xu Lin!”

This time, Ji Yun seemed particularly serious.

She firmly believed that Xu Lin wouldn’t succumb to external temptations and do anything with a girl he didn’t like.

Chu Fengyi looked at Ji Yun’s determined little eyes, and she couldn’t help feeling a bit angry.

Not because Ji Yun didn’t trust her, but because Xu Lin, that flirtatious guy, could actually gain the trust and affection of such a good girl.

“That’s good, just be careful.”

“Mm, would you like to join our alliance?”

“Alliance? I almost forgot, Xu Lin said you and Chu Qingchan formed an alliance?”

“Yes, mainly for sharing information and such.”

“Aren’t you just giving away information for nothing?”

“Giving away for nothing?” Ji Yun was a bit confused. Isn’t it a good thing for her to cooperate with Sister Chu Qingchan and compete rationally?

Chu Fengyi looked at Ji Yun and reconsidered her initial impression of this girl. She didn’t seem very smart now.

She’s clearly just a kind and lovely little angel. Perhaps Chu Qingchan doesn’t mind her because she’s too honest, so Chu Qingchan doesn’t see any problems.

But if you keep going like this, won’t the relationships between the girls in the alliance become like Xu Lin’s harem?

This just suits his intentions, but she can’t stop it herself since they’re competing for themselves and their own people.

Wait!

How does this girl know she likes Xu Lin when she hasn’t shown it actively? Did Xu Lin say something?

That’s unlikely. He definitely wants to appear detached, right? Is it you again, Chu Qingchan? Why do you say everything!

“Sister Fengyi?”

“Sorry, I got distracted for a moment. I agree to join, but I need to talk with Chu Qingchan first.”

“Okay.”

“By the way, Xu Lin has been in the bathroom for quite a while. Why hasn’t he come out yet?”

Just two minutes ago, Xu Lin had just entered the bathroom to wash his hands when an unfamiliar phone call came in.

“Are they trying to trick me into paying for data again? My package has already changed from 18 yuan to 48 yuan!”

After picking up, instead of the familiar customer service lady, a somewhat deep-voiced man’s voice came through.

“Is this Mr. Xu?”

“Yes, who is this?”

“I’m from Zhang Guofu, the agent in charge of our Dongshan Province’s MaLaTang(Spicy Hot Pot) franchise. You inquired about it online last time, right?”

“Yes, that’s right. What’s your last name?”

“I forgot to introduce myself. My last name is Cui, Cui Niancheng.”

“What can I do for you?”

Xu Lin hadn’t expected the franchise manager for the entire province to call him. Last time, he had only left a message.

Could it be a scam? But he did see this name on the website that day. Let’s hear what he has to say first.

“Well, you see, there’s usually a formal process for franchising. But the other day, while I was checking on work matters in the department, I came across your message.”

“I noticed you’re planning to open a store in Changqing City?”

“It’s actually in the county below. Does Changqing have any agents there yet?”

“No, Changqing doesn’t have any at the moment. There were some last year, but due to some unforeseen circumstances, we’re currently in the process of expanding to other provinces.”

“As the provincial representative, you must be under a lot of pressure.”

“Haha, a bit, but it’s manageable. So, Mr. Xu, which county are you from?”

Upon hearing this, Xu Lin furrowed his brow slightly.

Could this person be a scammer? But he left a local phone number, so if they wanted to check, they could.

“I’m from Linshui.”

“Exactly as I suspected, judging by the phone number. Congratulations, Mr. Xu, you’ve won a free shop.”

“Huh???”
