AMTBYIGA Chapter 57
by VolareLin Sui vaguely grasped something crucial, tugged at Shi Qingzhou’s sleeve, and whispered, “Do you know her?”
“Yeah.” Shi Qingzhou replied with a dark face, introducing her with a bit of a gnashing tone, “This is my cousin. My mom grabbed her over to be a laborer these past few days. You don’t need to mind her. She likes to tease people when she has nothing to do. Her personality is terrible, just pretend you don’t see her.”
Lin Sui was stunned by this, poked his head out from behind him, glanced at Shi Yan whose smile was gradually revealing her true nature, and then quickly retreated back.
“I will,” Lin Sui nodded solemnly.
“Hey, hey, you two.” Shi Yan walked over displeased and flicked Shi Qingzhou’s forehead directly. “Talking bad about me in front of your sister, Shi Qingzhou, your IQ has really been dropping ever since the college entrance exam.”
Shi Qingzhou covered his forehead and made a loud “Tsk” sound, but Shi Yan didn’t care. She greeted Lin Sui with a smile, “Hello, young classmate. I saw that homework you did last time. It was very interesting. Would you like to have dinner together today so we can talk about your graduation project?”
Lin Sui took a step back nervously and shook his head in refusal. “Sorry, I have a date.”
Shi Yan said casually, “Then add me to the group. I can treat~” She even winked at Lin Sui after saying that.
Lin Sui shivered, feeling like he wanted to run away.
Shi Qingzhou couldn’t stand it anymore and said speechlessly to Shi Yan, “I told you not to tease him. You’re making it sound like you want to give him the ‘casting couch’ treatment. Besides, he’s already married. You’re just rushing to be a third party!”
Shi Yan was taken aback and looked at Lin Sui’s seemingly underage face incredulously. “You’re married?!”
Lin Sui quickly nodded, adding, “And my husband is waiting for me outside. We’re going on a date later.”
So, when he said he had a date just now, this is what he meant.
Shi Yan suddenly felt like she was a jerk for teasing him just now.
She swore she was really just habitually teasing pretty young boys and absolutely didn’t mean to get involved in other people’s relationships!
Shi Yan changed her previous calm demeanor and showed some down-to-earth guilt. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I just habitually talk nonsense, it doesn’t mean anything in reality, don’t take it to heart.”
This was the first time Lin Sui had met someone with such a unique personality, but he could sense that she wasn’t malicious, so he shook his head and said softly, “It’s okay.”
After a pause, he then said, “Since the teacher isn’t here today, I’ll leave first and come back another day.”
“Okay, okay, okay.” Shi Yan breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest boldly, taking on the responsibility. “Don’t worry, as soon as your teacher comes back, I’ll urge him to contact you. You can also come to me if you have any questions, my level is still okay.”
After speaking, she winked at Shi Qingzhou, signaling him to speak up for her.
Shi Qingzhou was almost speechless. He didn’t even bother looking at the woman and earnestly instructed Lin Sui, “If you have any questions, just go to her, don’t be polite. This is the price she pays for her own loose mouth. If she’s slacking off, just tell me. Her mom has been keeping a close eye on her lately. I have evidence of her secretly clubbing and drinking in my hands. I’ll help you get even when the time comes.”
Lin Sui couldn’t help but laugh and thanked him seriously, “I’ll treat you to a meal later.”
“Hey, treating me to a meal is too polite,” Shi Qingzhou said, “Just bring me another serving of that pudding you made last time. It was so delicious. No one else makes it like that.”
“Okay, I’ll bring it to you tomorrow,” Lin Sui agreed readily.
Shi Qingzhou revealed a satisfied smile.
Shi Yan, who had heard the whole conversation: Do you really think I’m dead or something?
Lin Sui chatted with Shi Qingzhou for a few more sentences and then left. Gu Nian was sitting in his wheelchair in the hallway and gave him a faint smile when he saw him come out. “Is everything settled?”
“There were some problems, but they’re all resolved.” Lin Sui walked over, grabbed the handle of the wheelchair, instantly threw away his negative emotions, and walked forward with high spirits.
“I’ve already booked a private room at the barbecue restaurant. Let’s go now!”
The two of them took the elevator to the first floor. As soon as they walked out of the teaching building, they saw a person running wildly from afar. Lin Sui didn’t pay attention and walked straight towards the snack street, but Gu Nian glanced at that person a few more times.
But what they didn’t expect was that the other person’s target was actually them.
Lin Lin stopped, panting, and a standard sunny-boy smile bloomed on his face. “Senior Lin, long time no see.”
Lin Sui searched his mind for a while and suddenly realized, “It’s Lin Lin, long time no see. Thank you so much for inviting me to listen to the lecture last time.”
After all, if it wasn’t for that accident, he probably wouldn’t have met Sui Congzhi in this lifetime and gotten a stable job.
Lin Lin blushed a little and scratched his head with a simple and honest smile. “It was just a small matter, a small matter, I’m glad Senior likes it.”
After hesitating, he then tentatively asked, “Does Senior have any time recently? I heard that Senior recently found an internship, and I also want to learn about that aspect. I was wondering if Senior could talk to me about it.”
“Of course, I can treat Senior to a meal! Senior can order whatever he wants!”
Lin Lin looked at Lin Sui expectantly, his eyes shining, obviously not just in it for the food.
But Lin Sui didn’t notice the hidden ambiguous meaning in this sentence and seriously recalled his recent schedule, opening his mouth with some difficulty, “I have to start preparing my graduation project soon, so I might not have enough time…”
“It’s okay, it’s okay.” Lin Lin seized the opportunity to show off, subtly revealing his more handsome left half of his face, lowering his eyes and acting like a handsome man hesitating, “If Senior is busy, then never mind, I’ll see if I have any friends who know about this.”
Lin Lin was only a sophomore this year, so how could any of his classmates have internship experience? Lin Sui thought about how hard he had worked to get him such a popular lecture spot before, and his heart couldn’t help but waver.
“That, actually…”
Lin Sui said hesitantly, Lin Lin’s eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth curled into a tiny arc.
As expected, the ‘play pitiful’ trick works. The netizens didn’t lie to me!
Gu Nian quietly watched this young college student perform. Lin Sui’s personality was simple and he couldn’t see it, but he was used to intrigues and deceptions. This little trick of a student still in the ivory tower was like child’s play in his eyes, and he could easily see through it.
But Gu Nian was still unhappy. He pushed his wheelchair to Lin Sui’s side and said indifferently, “There are teachers at the school who do internship guidance. Sui Sui is also interning for the first time, so he probably can’t help you. If you’re in a hurry, it’s best to consult the teacher.”
Lin Sui was awakened by this sentence. The wavering in his heart was scattered, and he turned to earnestly persuade Lin Lin, “He’s right. My internship was also a pleasant surprise. I don’t know much about the normal process, so you should ask the teacher. Our school’s teachers are all pretty good. They’ll definitely answer you if you ask.”
Lin Lin, who had originally felt confident, was stunned by this sudden turn of events and was thrown into disarray. He said anxiously, “But, but, that is, that, I’m a little afraid of the teachers, I don’t dare to be alone with them…”
“I saw that you have a volunteer badge on your body,” Gu Nian said suddenly.
Lin Lin was puzzled. “Yes, this was given to me for doing volunteer activities, what’s wrong?”
Gu Nian glanced at the foolish college student with a clear face in front of him and said, “As far as I know, this volunteer position requires close communication with many people. You can get an excellent badge, how can you not even dare to talk to the teacher?”
“Ah! This.” Lin Lin was at a loss for words for a moment and couldn’t think of any words to continue patching himself up.
Oh God, what kind of deity is this? Why does he have to be so observant and come to block his path to pursue love!
Lin Lin wailed in his heart. Seeing that Lin Sui also looked puzzled, he knew that he couldn’t continue making things up.
He looked at Lin Sui, took a deep breath, and said decisively, “I’m sorry, Senior Lin, I lied to you. I didn’t actually want to learn about the internship. I just wanted to spend more time with you.”
“Because, I like you!”
Lin Lin said the last four words with extra force, shaking the surrounding leaves off the trees and shattering Gu Nian’s calm expression.
Gu Nian looked at the blushing boy confessing his feelings in surprise and uncertainty, completely not expecting that he would confess directly if he couldn’t win him over.
Wouldn’t a normal person awkwardly run away at this time?
Gu Nian, who was encountering this type of straight-ball pursuer for the first time, stumbled badly. If he had known that this kid could be so reckless, he would have pretended to be weak just now and let Lin Sui quickly leave with him!
Gu Nian’s intestines were all turning green with regret, but it was too late. He wasn’t worried about Lin Sui’s reaction, but the feeling of watching his boyfriend being confessed to by someone else was really unbearable.
Lin Sui was also dumbfounded. After he came to his senses, the first thing he said was, “Didn’t you lose a truth or dare game?”
Lin Lin, filled with anticipation: …
Senior, your way of rejecting people is really cruel.
The little person inside Lin Lin’s heart was already lying on the ground vomiting blood and crying. He barely managed to force out a smile that looked worse than crying. “Senior, I’m serious.”
Lin Sui immediately apologized, “I’m sorry, I’m just a little surprised, and also, I don’t like you.”
Double kill.
Lin Lin covered his chest, trying hard not to faint on the spot. “Senior, I actually already knew that. You don’t need to repeat it.”
“But I think it’s better to make things clear,” Lin Sui said with a serious expression. “I don’t like you, so I won’t accept your pursuit. I’ll convert the price of the lecture tickets from last time into money and send it to you. If it’s not necessary, we should avoid seeing each other.”
After saying this, Lin Sui simply took out his mobile phone, found Lin Lin’s contact information, and directly transferred 1,000 yuan.
“You should still accept this money. Even if you don’t accept it, I can’t possibly accept you.”
Triple kill.
Lin Lin was completely stunned, motionless like a piece of wood. His originally perky hair drooped listlessly, and his whole body was engulfed in a strong sense of sadness.
To be honest, Lin Lin had already anticipated being rejected, but he didn’t expect Lin Sui to be so absolute.
Isn’t this the same as being sentenced to death?
Lin Lin felt cold all over. He looked at Lin Sui and tried very hard to force out a handsome smile, but he still failed.
“There’s no need, Senior,” Lin Lin said in a muffled voice, lowering his head, not wanting Senior to see the tears in his eyes. “It’s all my own choice.”
“I know, but I don’t want to owe you,” Lin Sui said very frankly and directly about his purpose. “If I owe you a favor, we will inevitably have to meet in the future, but I can’t accept you, so in order to not let you have any expectations, I hope we can settle the score.”
These words were like a knife, stabbing fiercely into Lin Lin’s heart.
Even Gu Nian glanced at Lin Sui, but his expression didn’t show the joy of defeating a rival in love, but instead flashed a hint of unease.
