After the college entrance examination, life began to follow one's heart

Chapter 192 Valentine's Day Part 1

Xu Lin had a lot of luggage, and it took him three trips to get it all sorted out.

Meanwhile, Ms. Ren and Rong Xiyan were making up a bed in an empty room.

It was already past 2 a.m.

Next, it was the two women's bath time.

It was already three o'clock when Rong Xiyan finished taking a shower.

She quietly slipped into Xu Lin's room and found that Xu Lin was asleep.

Thinking that it was getting late and that she had been traveling all day, Rong Xiyan didn't disturb Xu Lin. Instead, she snuggled into his blankets and hugged him as they drifted off to sleep.

the next day.

2 month 13 number.

sunny.

My mom got up early to make breakfast, and Xu Lin and the others enjoyed delicious glutinous rice balls this morning.

Many people in the world envy others for having a good mother, but Xu Lin never does, because Ms. Ren has given him everything.

After having a full meal, Ms. Ren went out in the morning.

With Chinese New Year just a few days away, my mom has a few friends in the city who are also home, so we're taking advantage of everyone being together for a get-together.

Middle-aged people, especially those with families, naturally focus on their families. Like Ms. Ren and her friends, they only see each other two or three times a year, and even then, not everyone is there. So, getting together is especially precious.

After her mother left, Rong Xiyan went to Xu Lin's room.

Xu Lin was playing a game at that moment.

"Xu Lin, I'm here!"

Xiao Rong mischievously covered Xu Lin's eyes from behind.

"Close the door and lock it!"

"Hmph, I know!"

Rong Xiyan immediately went to close the door and locked it from the inside.

Then Rong Xiyan collapsed onto Xu Lin's soft bed, burying her face in the mattress and greedily taking a few deep breaths over the sheets, like someone who hadn't eaten for days suddenly seeing food.

"Are you a pervert?"

Xu Lin looked over at the sound and almost lost his composure.

"Leave me alone!"

Rong Xiyan gave a soft snort and continued to lie there, but she put the blanket under her chest to support her upper body, played on her phone, and playfully swung her legs.

Xu Lin felt a surge of heat when he saw her backside facing him.

Rong Xiyan's buttocks are about the same size as Chi Linyue's.

Women actually have only two obvious features that attract men: their breasts and buttocks.

Xu Lin immediately paused the game in response.

February 13th. Xu Lin had been back for twelve days, but he hadn't touched a woman for thirteen days.

Moreover, Xu Lin had no interest in studying traditional techniques.

Therefore, Xu Lin had been holding back for a long time.

"what?"

"You're just pretending not to know, aren't you?"

"satyr!"

"I'm a pervert, and you're definitely a perverted woman. You put your hand inside my pants while we're sleeping. You're a weirdo, what kind of strange fetish do you have?"

"Don't worry about it!" Rong Xiyan blushed, feeling a little embarrassed.

Soon their clothes were gone, and before the actual battle, Rong Xiyan had to help Xu Lin warm up.

In fact, Rong Xiyan was also craving it, after all, the two hadn't seen each other for more than ten days.

Xu Lin and the others spent the entire morning fiddling around in the room.

However, the two couldn't do anything too reckless, otherwise they would be in big trouble if Ms. Ren came back halfway through.

So the two ended their fight around 11:00.

Later, Xu Lin went to the gym, and Rong Xiyan slept in Xu Lin's room.

She slept for about an hour, then got up to play games again.

Ms. Ren returned at 1 p.m.

Hearing the sound of Xu Lin playing games in his room, Ms. Ren thought it was Xu Lin, but when she looked at the door, she found it was Rong Xiyan.

"Yan Yan, are you playing games?"

"Yes, Mom, when did you get back?"

"just came back."

Ms. Ren said, "Let's go out for dinner with Mom tonight!"

"Oh! Let's go out for dinner together tonight!"

"There's also an auntie and a girl your age."

"Okay, let's get to know each other!"

"Where's Xu Lin?"

He's working out!

Ms. Ren then went to the gym and saw Xu Lin shirtless, doing weighted squats.

Ms. Ren thought to herself, "My son's figure is getting better and better. I wonder which girl will be lucky enough to have him in the future."

Actually, Ms. Ren didn't know that Xu Lin already had a girlfriend, and Xu Cheng hadn't told her either.

Xu Lin also kept quiet about it unless Ms. Ren asked him directly.

"I feel embarrassed when you look at me."

Xu Lin saw his mother standing at the door.

"cut!"

Have you had lunch yet?

"No."

Would you like noodles?

"There's beef in the fridge, let's make some beef noodles," Xu Lin suggested.

"Then Mom, make beef noodles."

In the afternoon, Xu Lin and his friends enjoyed a delicious bowl of beef noodles. Their mother's cooking skills were truly exceptional.

"Xu Lin, I want to learn to cook from Mom too!"

Rong Xiyan started shouting.

"Then you should learn it."

Xu Lin didn't think much of her. Rong Xiyan wasn't good at practical skills, and she only had a short attention span.

"Xu Lin, we're going back to our hometown the day after tomorrow morning."

Ms. Ren spoke.

"Ok."

The day after tomorrow is the 15th, the 16th is Lunar New Year's Eve, and the 17th is Chinese New Year.

Ms. Ren added, "Then on the third day of the Lunar New Year, we'll go to your maternal grandfather's house together."

"Okay, I'll drive then."

"Ask your dad if he's going or not?"

Ms. Ren pursed her lips and added another sentence.

"I guess they won't go."

The old man had actually visited Xu Lin's maternal grandfather's house a few times before the wedding. At that time, he went to propose marriage, but he was turned away several times. His maternal grandfather's side did not allow his mother to marry him, and they said that she had to have a house, not a mud-brick house in the countryside. Xu Lin's maternal grandfather was a teacher, and he was well-known in the surrounding area. When the older generation in the neighborhood saw him, they would call him Teacher Ren. In addition, his maternal grandfather's father and grandfather were also teachers. They were a scholarly family in the town.

Looking at Xu Lin's father, his family was still in the countryside at that time, living in a typical mud-brick and tile house in the south. If they didn't repair it regularly, the house might leak when it rained.

In short, the poor old man was turned away at the door. Later, Xu Cheng made a desperate decision to smuggle rosewood to Vietnam. He basically risked his life and almost died there. In the end, he was able to come back with money to buy a car and a house, but Xu Cheng never went to his grandfather's place again.

"You should ask first."

Why didn't you ask?

"You ask."

"Okay, let me ask."

Xu Lin sent a message to the old man, asking if he was going.

Xu Cheng replied instantly: "I'm not going."

Xu Lin showed the information to Ms. Ren, but Ms. Ren didn't say anything about the issue.

Xu Lin glanced at her but didn't say anything. Actually, his mother had eloped with his father before, but his maternal grandfather wouldn't give his permission and wouldn't give him his household registration book, so the two of them couldn't get married. His father brought money back and bought a house, and only then did his grandfather agree to the marriage.

Around 5 PM, Xu Lin was playing video games in his room.

Ms. Ren and Rong Xiyan were getting ready to go out.

"Xu Lin, are you going to eat? With your Aunt Jingjing."

"Don't go."

What are some good places for women to eat?

Aunt Jingjing is Lin Yajing.

"We might not be back until nine o'clock tonight. You can cook whatever you want to eat, or order takeout. And if you order takeout, don't order the cheap stuff..."

My mom thought that more expensive takeout was relatively more hygienic, and she talked about it for a few minutes.

"Okay, you can go now."

"You brat, you think your mom's a nuisance, huh?"

"No, not at all." Xu Lin grinned.

"We're out!"

Soon Xu Lin was all alone at home.

However, he didn't continue playing games. Ten minutes later, seeing that no one was bothering him at home, Xu Lin started exercising again.

There are only a few points left to raise the value to over 80, and then we can unlock a reward.

Xu Lin is going back to his hometown the day after tomorrow, so he'll have to work harder these next couple of days to boost the numbers.

the other side.

Rong Xiyan followed Ms. Ren out.

Lin Yajing also took Yu Xinyan out.

It's important to know that Xiao Rong and Yu Xinyan know each other, and they even have a conflict.

So when they met, they were both surprised. They didn't expect to run into each other here, and that they would even have dinner together tonight.

Therefore, both of their expressions changed.

However, since there were adults present, neither of them showed anything, nor did they mention that they knew each other.

Then the two introduced themselves to each other. Lin Yajing learned that Xiao Rong's name was Rong Xiyan, which means "color".

"Goddaughter?"

Lin Yajing and Ms. Ren walked ahead, asking in a low, curious voice.

"Goddaughter." Ms. Ren nodded.

Then Ms. Ren explained in a low voice that Rong Xiyan was Xu Lin's classmate. Due to special circumstances in her family, her mother had passed away, and her father did not love her, nor did her grandparents. Her maternal grandparents had also passed away, so she was basically all alone.

Since she didn't have a daughter herself, they became mother and daughter.

"Such a lovely girl, how come her father doesn't care? He's his own daughter, he'd love her dearly!"

Lin Yajing had never heard of such a thing.

“We live in a wealthy and powerful family, so there may be little human touch, and there may be a stepmother who ostracizes you.”

"That's quite pitiful."

The two spoke softly, partly to be considerate of Rong Xiyan. After all, some things shouldn't be said casually, even if they don't mean them that way. If the person who hears them is sensitive, they might think of something unpleasant, which could affect their relationship.

Ms. Ren: "I'm wondering if the two of them can become friends."

Ms. Ren was referring to Xiao Rong and Yu Xinyan.

"We're about the same age, so we should have common topics. Besides, my Yan Yan doesn't make many friends, and I'd like her to make more." "That's good."

"At first I thought she was Xu Lin's girlfriend."

“Xu Lin doesn’t have a girlfriend yet!” Ms. Ren said.

"Huh? I saw Xu Lin say he has a girlfriend, and A-Cheng also told Jianhua."

"Ok?"

Ms. Ren's mind immediately filled with a question mark.

"You didn't know?" Lin Yajing asked curiously.

Ms. Ren shook her head.

"That kid didn't tell me! No way, I have to ask him tonight!"

"I guess it's because they're afraid you'll nag them?"

Lin Yajing smiled and said that the two were quite familiar with each other, so they chatted very freely.

"This brat!"

Xu Cheng didn't tell her either!
“Your Xu Lin is very outstanding. I heard from Jianhua that the other day, Acheng took Xu Lin to a dinner party. The vice mayor from the provincial capital wanted to introduce his daughter to him, but Xu Lin didn’t agree, saying that he already had a girlfriend. I heard that the vice mayor’s daughter is quite pretty, not ugly at all.”

"That deputy mayor of the provincial capital?"

Ms. Ren thought for a moment and realized that she had seen this person before, once when she attended a meeting in the city. Of course, the high-ranking official would not recognize a nobody like her.

"He introduced his daughter to my son?" Ms. Ren was quite surprised.

"What Ah Cheng said can't be false, right? Xu Lin is very outstanding now!"

"He has indeed changed a lot since he went to college."

Actually, if you think about it carefully, Xu Lin started to change during the summer vacation. At first, he earned several hundred thousand yuan by writing articles for others. Ms. Ren was quite surprised at the time, but it was still within her means.

But later, when Ms. Ren learned that he earned more than eight million yuan a month before taxes from writing novels, she felt that something was gradually wrong.

Now that the semester is over, Xu Lin has already flown to the ends of the earth.

Moreover, he is only eighteen years old, and there are still four months until his nineteenth birthday!

His future potential is truly limitless!
Lin Yajing said, "I was also shocked. I didn't expect Xu Lin to become so outstanding in the blink of an eye!"

The two walked and chatted, having not seen each other for several months, they had plenty to talk about.

Meanwhile, Yu Xinyan and Xiao Rong, who were behind them, were also engaged in a fierce competition.

"Why are you here?"

Yu Xinyan was the first to question, "Why did you become Aunt Ren's daughter?"

Rong Xiyan said rather smugly, "I'm not only my mother's daughter, but also Xu Lin's older sister. Is it any of your business?"

Xu Lin: ? Sister?

Thankfully, Xu Lin didn't know, otherwise Rong Xiyan's bottom would definitely be red tonight.

It crashed into the red!
Rong Xiyan added, "You'd better stay away from my Xu Lin. He has a girlfriend and me, his older sister. Please keep your distance, you outsider!"

“It’s none of your business how I get close to him, you’re the outsider! How long have you known him? Only a semester, half a year! But I’ve known Xu Lin for over six years, and you probably don’t even know many of his habits!”

Yu Xinyan emphasized, "So don't get in my way!"

"you!"

Rong Xiyan frowned, but Yu Xinyan no longer wanted to talk to her. Yu Xinyan didn't say another word, and Rong Xiyan, having been turned away, simply stopped talking as well. Neither of them had any good feelings towards the other.

To be precise, the two sides did not speak to each other, but when facing Ms. Ren and Lin Yajing, the two elders, they acted as usual, so that the two could not see anything unusual.

Tonight, everyone will go out for dinner and shopping, and also buy some New Year's goods.

It wasn't until 10 p.m. that they both returned home.

When his mother and the others got home, Xu Lin was still working out, for more than four hours straight.

This workout duration would be unbearable even for a strong person, but it's no problem for Xu Lin.

"Xu Lin, come out here for a moment."

Ms. Ren arrived at the entrance of the gym.

"what?"

"I'm asking you something. Tell me quietly, you have a girlfriend? When did this happen?"

"I'll bring her over to meet you another day," Xu Lin said without hiding anything.

Rong Xiyan, standing behind Ms. Ren, glared at Xu Lin.

"Where are you from?"

“My maternal grandfather’s family is from the next city.”

Xu Lin stopped and wiped the sweat from his face with a towel.

"I'm going to take a shower first."

"Oh."

【Constitution (13/100): Excellent or above.】

【Abdominal muscles: 81/100.】

【Pectoral muscles: 80/100.】

Shoulders: 79/100.

Back: 79/100.

Arms: 80/100.

Legs: 84/100.

【Male symbol: 81/100.】

While taking a shower, Xu Lin glanced at the screen. He was going home the day after tomorrow, and there were only two spots left. Xu Lin had to get those sorted out by tomorrow.

"I wonder what rewards I can unlock?"

When it comes to fitness, the rewards you unlock are all related to your body.

Soon, Xu Lin came out after taking a shower.

"Why didn't you tell me you got a girlfriend?"

When his mother saw him come out, she said something.

“Look, you know I have a girlfriend and you’re ready to nag, but the old man hasn’t said a word.”

"You find me annoying, don't you?"

"How could that be?"

Xu Lin laughed and said, "My dear Ms. Ren, you're not right to say that. There's a term in literature called delayed gratification. In other words, I wanted to give you a surprise, but you found out so quickly, which makes me feel embarrassed. You see, if I suddenly brought her to your door without you knowing, it would be a surprise all at once, like you won the lottery. Wouldn't that be better?"

"Get lost, you smooth talker!"

"I'm going back to my room first."

Xu Linsuo made his escape.

Rong Xiyan didn't come to Xu Lin's room tonight. Xu Lin sent her a message, but Rong Xiyan didn't respond.

He was probably angry, but Xu Lin was used to it.

"Numb."

Xu Lin didn't want to think about that anymore and went straight to sleep.

He went to bed early tonight.

The next day was February 14th, the annual Valentine's Day.

Valentine's Day this year is two days earlier than Chinese New Year.

When Xu Lin woke up in the morning, he received a Valentine's Day greeting from Ning Yuhan.

What are you doing today?

"We need to clean the house today!"

Ning Yuhan said that not only should the floor be cleaned, but also the cobwebs and other things in the house should be removed, and the tables and chairs should also be wiped clean.

This is considered a custom in rural areas: a thorough cleaning once a year.

In rural areas, the days leading up to the Lunar New Year are always very busy.

I chatted with Ning Yuhan for a few minutes.

Xu Lin then casually sent Chi Linyue a Valentine's Day greeting: "Happy Valentine's Day, dear Miss Chi!"

After sending his blessings, Xu Lin went to have breakfast.

By the time Xu Lin finished eating and returned to his room, Chi Linyue's message had arrived more than ten minutes earlier.

Xu Lin looked and found that there were still ten 1314 red envelopes.

"Why are there ten?" Xu Lin asked.

"One feeling is too monotonous, let's round it up!"

Are you going to work today?

"The company is closed for the holiday, so I'm taking care of the kids today!"

Chi Linyue sent over a photo of Xixi's little face, saying, "Our whole family is here in Qionghai. We're spending the New Year here this year."

Xu Lin suddenly understood.

These days, many wealthy people spend their winters in Qionghai.

Chi Linyue: "Hurry up and accept the red envelope."

Xu Lin then accepted the red envelope. "I'm so excited! Big sister sent me ten 1314s. I think I should also give big sister something in return!"

"What does that mean?"

"First of all, I'm a romantic person, so I want to give you a romantic blessing!"

"I thought you were going to send me a red envelope!"

"How could that be? Money is too vulgar. How can our relationship be measured in money?"

"Stop keeping me in suspense! Hurry up!"

Xu Lin then edited a post on Xiaohongshu.

Content: Happy Valentine's Day to everyone! May all lovers be united in marriage! Finally, Happy Valentine's Day to my Miss Chi!

Sending completed.

Xu Lin sent the screenshot.

"I'm going to get my online friends to send you their blessings, isn't that romantic!"

Xu Lin said, "Take a look at the post and see what the netizens are saying."

Chi Linyue: "Then I'll keep an eye on it."

Xu Lin has many followers on Xiaohongshu. After the post was published, many people clicked in and left messages such as "Happy Valentine's Day, Miss Chi". Moreover, at this time, most people are on holiday, so everyone is bored and spending a lot of time online.

As a result, a single post quickly attracted tens of thousands of comments.

Chi Linyue watched for a while and noticed the comments from netizens.

"That's really romantic." She smiled knowingly.

Xu Lin's post prompted countless netizens to wish her a happy Valentine's Day.

Actually, the netizens were sending their blessings to Miss Chi in the book, which is also a double entendre.

This is Xu Lin's blessing.

Twenty minutes later.

Xu Lin: "Tell me, isn't it romantic?"

Chi Linyue didn't send a text message, but instead sent a selfie video, in which she turned on the front camera and kissed the lens a few times.

Xu Lin: "Romantic!"

Chi Linyue: "Smirk.jpg×3"

As time went by, Xu Lin's post became popular, and later Dilraba Dilmurat even commented, leaving a message saying "Happy Valentine's Day, Miss Chi," and another saying "Happy Valentine's Day, Mr. Xu."

Upon seeing this, Xu Lin replied with a handshake emoji.

At this point, the topic gained popularity and trended on social media.

The TV adaptation of this novel has now officially announced Dilraba Dilmurat as the female lead, who already has a huge fan base.

Although Xu Lin felt it was lacking, that's just how the Chinese entertainment industry is. There are no female stars that Xu Lin considers truly suitable, and the same goes for male stars; it's all about competing to be the worst.

In fact, Xu Lin felt that no one could portray the feeling of Chi Linyue. It wasn't that Xu Lin was prejudiced, but rather that Chi Linyue was indeed too well-rounded. Her figure and appearance were secondary; what mattered was her temperament and that unique feeling, which even the best actors couldn't capture.
