MFIMM Chapter 45

Checking the phone.

Checking the phone.

“Mom, something came up at the company yesterday, so I went back to the dormitory first. And please don’t arrange any more blind dates for me. If you do, I’ll really just go back for Chinese New Year.”

Lin Xi called his mother during a break, and his mother knew she was in the wrong.

“Sigh, but your pheromone disorder can’t just keep being put off…”

“It’s okay, Mom, as long as you don’t set up any more blind dates, my disorder won’t act up.” Lin Xi sighed, touching his lips, he couldn’t help but recall biting Pei Jiashu’s glands yesterday.

This time was different from the last time; he could clearly remember every detail.

He remembered Pei Jiashu actively bringing his glands to him, and even when the alpha’s most vulnerable glands were bitten, Pei Jiashu didn’t make a sound.

But there were so many ways to relieve him; Pei Jiashu could even temporarily mark him, and his allergic symptoms would stop.

Many possibilities flashed through Lin Xi’s mind. After eliminating all the options, he came to a conclusion—Pei Jiashu was a masochist!

It must have been that last time he bit Pei Jiashu’s glands, it got Pei Jiashu addicted, so this time, he used this opportunity to let him bite again.

Otherwise, how would Pei Jiashu have responded?

Lin Xi shuddered at the thought, goosebumps erupting all over his body. “I’m not talking to you anymore; I’m going to go live stream.”

He hung up the phone and opened the live stream as usual.

The moment the broadcast started, many people flooded in. Lin Xi’s live stream today was still connecting with fans to give them makeovers.

[Great, Top Fan is here today too. I thought he was going to un-fan.]

Jiashu: [Even if you all un-fan, I will never un-fan.]

[Top Fan, you weren’t here when Lin Xi was doing makeovers before. Do you want to connect with Lin Xi now and have him do your makeup?]

Lin Xi took a moment to glance at the comments and was also a little expectant. “If it’s Top Fan, then you can cut in line.”

That way, after connecting, he could find out if this Top Fan was really Pei Jiashu.

But Jiashu was very resistant to the idea of connecting.

Jiashu: [Let’s skip it; I’m slacking off at work right now. Connecting would be too obvious.]

Seeing this sentence from Pei Jiashu, Assistant Song looked through the glass door. Pei Jiashu’s face was full of smiles.

It seemed they were back together.

Assistant Song breathed a sigh of relief and continued to watch the live stream.

Xu Wenyan also came online. Seeing their conversation, he couldn’t help but ask, “Lin Xi, I have all my makeup tools ready. When are you going to do my makeup?”

Xu Wenyan had seen Pei Jiashu picking him up yesterday, and he didn’t know what Xu Wenyan thought now.

Lin Xi nodded. “I’ll do yours after I’m done with this fan.”

Pei Jiashu stared at Xu Wenyan’s profile picture, feeling an ominous premonition in his heart. When he saw Xu Wenyan connect with Lin Xi, he understood why Xu Wenyan looked so familiar yesterday.

This person was actually the second-highest-ranked fan in Lin Xi’s live stream.

Lin Xi clearly said he was going back to his parents’ house for the weekend. Why was he with his live stream fan?

Pei Jiashu stared at Xu Wenyan’s face. If the person were in front of him, he probably would have been stared through.

Jiashu: [Don’t do his makeup.]

The top fan’s comments were like a spoiled child, but he had given Lin Xi tens of thousands of gifts, leaving Lin Xi unable to say anything.

Xu Wenyan looked at Jiashu’s ID and instantly remembered that person from yesterday.

He also gave Lin Xi a few gifts. “Just do mine.”

Lin Xi looked at the special effects floating across the live stream. It was hard to imagine that the top two fans in his live stream were starting a wealth-flaunting contest over such a thing.

“Stop, both of you stop it. Don’t give any more gifts, or I’ll ban you both.” Lin Xi looked at them both and said, puffing out his cheeks.

“Jiashu!” Lin Xi called out the top fan’s ID. “It was agreed in advance that I would do his makeup as a fan benefit. You can also ask me to do your makeup, so don’t fight.”

Jiashu reluctantly typed “Okay” in the comments.

Xu Wenyan had followed Lin Xi’s videos and bought all the makeup tools. Lin Xi was practically guiding him step by step verbally.

But after all, he was a beginner. Fortunately, Xu Wenyan had a good foundation, and the final result was passable.

Xu Wenyan himself was also very satisfied. Seeing that Lin Xi was about to hang up the video and connect with the next fan, Xu Wenyan quickly spoke up.

“Lin Xi, I’d like to ask you something: What is your ideal type?”

Hearing this, Pei Jiashu could already determine that this person had ulterior motives toward Lin Xi. No wonder he got angry when he saw Xu Wenyan yesterday.

The other fans in the live stream were also curious, and they asked in the comments.

Pei Jiashu also held his breath, listening to Lin Xi’s answer.

“My ideal type…” Lin Xi thought for a moment, and the figure he had liked for many years flashed through his mind. “I like someone who is very outstanding, very gentle, handsome, and tall. Most importantly, they have to be gentle, patient, and like small animals.”

Xu Wenyan looked at Lin Xi on the screen. Hearing these words, he didn’t know whether to breathe a sigh of relief or hold his breath.

But Pei Jiashu was stunned. Lin Xi’s ideal type was indeed the kind of person he pretended to be, which had nothing to do with his real self.

“Okay, thank you, Lin Xi.” Xu Wenyan hung up the connection.

“Oh.”

If Lin Xi had heard this question after being rejected by Pei Jiashu, his first reaction would have been Pei Jiashu. Pei Jiashu was his ideal type.

Now, Pei Jiashu was still on his mind. The youthful figure of the boy flashed before his eyes but gradually drifted away. Replacing it was the venomous Pei Jiashu, the unreasonable Pei Jiashu, and the Pei Jiashu who carefully took care of him every time he had an allergic reaction.

He shook off these thoughts and exited the live stream, only to find that Xu Wenyan had sent him many private messages.

Xu Wenyan: “Lin Xi, was that man who took you away just now Pei Jiashu? Why is he with you?”

Xu Wenyan: “Is he using something against you to blackmail you?”

Xu Wenyan: “Are you already married to him…”

Lin Xi scrolled through Xu Wenyan’s messages, growing more and more frightened. It was hard to believe that Xu Wenyan could discover the truth based on some fragmented details.

Lin Xi: “I’m not being blackmailed by him; we’re just using each other. I am indeed married to him, but my parents don’t know about this yet. Please don’t tell them.”

Xu Wenyan replied very quickly. “I won’t tell your parents.”

“But if you want a divorce or want to seek help, you can come to me anytime.”

“Thank you.” Lin Xi carefully typed these words. Although he and Xu Wenyan were netizens, he could tell that he was a good person.

Xu Wenyan’s words from yesterday about liking him didn’t seem fake, but he had to abide by the rules of the agreement.

“Now that you know I’m married, don’t waste your time on me. I can return all the gifts you’ve given me during this time.”

“No—” Xu Wenyan refused very directly. “I’m relieved to know that your marriage to him is fake. I’ll wait for you to get divorced.”

“I’ll need a few years to get a divorce; you still shouldn’t waste your time…” Lin Xi couldn’t understand why Xu Wenyan was so stubborn.

Xu Wenyan said, “I’ll wait.”

Lin Xi couldn’t do anything about it. After all, Xu Wenyan wasn’t forcing him to be with him.

When Lin Xi returned home, he found the atmosphere at home a little strange. He had chatted with Xu Wenyan today and left the company a little later, so Pei Jiashu had returned earlier than him.

Lin Xi greeted Pei Jiashu, but Pei Jiashu only snorted twice.

If it weren’t for the fact that the relationship between the two had improved slightly in the past two days, Lin Xi would have wanted to go up and punch Pei Jiashu twice. He was too annoying.

He put down his bag and planned to return to his room, but Pei Jiashu stopped him and started to question him.

“You said you were going back to your parents’ house on the weekend, but when I went to pick you up yesterday, you were with the second-highest-ranked fan in your live stream!”

Now that Lin Xi knew he was watching the live stream, Pei Jiashu didn’t hide anything and directly questioned Lin Xi.

Lin Xi was stunned and explained the whole thing to Pei Jiashu.

“So you went on a blind date with him?” Finding out the truth, Pei Jiashu became even angrier, staring at Lin Xi’s face, his palms clenched into fists.

Lin Xi felt that Pei Jiashu was making a fuss over nothing and pushed him away. “I was just tricked by my mother. I didn’t expect her to ask me to come home to find me a blind date. It was an accident that he was a fan of my live stream.”

“Accident?” Pei Jiashu gritted his teeth. “You even asked about your ideal type in the live stream. Isn’t that a sign that he’s interested in you?”

“So what?” Lin Xi had been bombarded by Pei Jiashu with questions as soon as he got home, and his mood was also a little bad. “So what if he’s interested in me? Can’t anyone like me? You’re meddling too much.”

Pei Jiashu bit his lower lip, only calming down a little after drawing blood.

He couldn’t argue with Lin Xi anymore, or it would be like last time.

“That’s not what I meant. But you didn’t tell your parents about our marriage? Why would they still arrange a blind date for you?” Pei Jiashu asked.

Lin Xi was speechless, suddenly like a deflated balloon, all the anger just now deflated.

“It’s just that our marriage was too hasty, and if my parents knew I got married so hastily, they would break my legs. We’re going to divorce in five years anyway, so I didn’t plan to tell my parents.”

Pei Jiashu covered his heart, feeling like he had dug a huge pit for himself.

Now, if Lin Xi’s parents knew they were married, they would probably break his legs too.

“Phone.” Pei Jiashu suddenly asked Lin Xi for his phone.

Lin Xi clutched his phone in horror. “What for? You’re not going to tell my parents, are you?”

“That won’t happen.” Pei Jiashu just wanted to know if Lin Xi had any progress with that man. After all, that man was the blind date that Lin Xi’s parents had found, so they must be very satisfied to trick their son into coming home for a blind date.

Knowing the enemy and knowing yourself is the only way to win every battle.

Lin Xi suspiciously placed the phone in Pei Jiashu’s hand. Pei Jiashu opened Lin Xi’s WeChat with lightning speed, scanning up and down. The man wasn’t there.

Then, he opened Lin Xi’s live stream app. When he saw the private message, his heart was about to break.

Especially when he saw that the man was still waiting for them to get divorced.
