Why are you always thinking about dating me?

Lin An was taken aback, then nodded. "That's good."

"So, shall we remain friends?"

"Ah."

Lin An reached out to her, "Give me your backpack, it looks really heavy."

Luo Shuishui obediently handed the teddy bear backpack to Lin An, who hung it around his neck, and they walked out of the school together.

Chapter 41 Can you save me?

"Isn't your family coming to pick you up?"

"Because it's not far anyway, it's all the same whether we walk back or not, so we might as well get some exercise. What about you? Why don't you go home with your sister?"

Lin An paused for a moment, "You know her?"

"Since I've checked your information, these things should be easy to find."

“That’s true.” Lin An nodded gently, holding Luo Shuishui’s bear backpack. The two walked together for a while. The walk wasn’t long. Lin An and Luo Shuishui were talking about the Japanese drama that Luo Shuishui had asked him to watch.

It really is a very good drama.

When Lin An was almost home, the two had to part ways. Lin An returned the teddy bear backpack to Luo Shuishui, who took it and held it to her chest. She looked up and asked, "Has Su Yuejin been to your house?"

"No."

Would you like to invite me to your house for a visit?

"No, maybe next time."

"Okay then, bye-bye?"

"Okay, bye-bye." Lin An nodded and waved, watching her leave. Then he walked into the old neighborhood, climbed five flights of stairs, and the sunlight streamed through the window, making it a little warm. He took out his key, opened the door, and arrived home. Xu Qinghuan was not home yet.

So Lin An sat on the sofa and read for a while. When Xu Qinghuan came back, she was carrying a plastic bag with some cold dishes, pig ears and some vegetables, as well as a cabbage and a box of tofu.

"Hmm? What happened?"

Xu Qinghuan closed the door, and as expected, her first question was about this matter.

“There was no sex,” Lin An replied.

Xu Qinghuan observed his expression for a second as he said those words, then walked over, sat down beside him, reached out, and buried his face in her chest. Lin An smelled the fragrance, but couldn't breathe.

"good."

Xu Qinghuan stroked his head, murmured softly, then let go of his hand and, before Lin An could recover, gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. This offensive left Lin An somewhat dazed and confused.

"Then I'll go cook some cabbage and tofu."

Xu Qinghuan stood up, slipped on her rabbit slippers, and walked into the kitchen. She turned on the stove, where Lin An continued reading his book. He gently touched his cheek, as if the warmth of the girl's lips still lingered there.

All Xu Qinghuan needed to make was a very simple cabbage and tofu soup, as simple as it gets. She added a little oil, crushed a clove of garlic, fried it in the oil, then added water. Once the water boiled, she added cabbage, tofu, salt, and chicken bouillon. She cooked it until the cabbage was tender, and that was a very simple cabbage and tofu soup.

She also bought pig's head meat, pig's ears and some cold dishes, cooked rice, and Lin An ate with her. This was the scene of the two of them in many days.

This time, Lin An washed the dishes. After finishing, the two returned to their respective rooms and did their own things. It was an unspoken understanding that they would not interfere too much with each other's lives.

Perhaps it's because both of them are too self-centered.

..............................

Lin An opened the window a crack, feeling the evening breeze blowing in from outside. He opened his writing software and wrote six thousand words. He finished writing around seven o'clock in the evening. Since Cha Cha didn't ask him to play games, it seemed like he didn't have much to do.

But Lin An's phone rang at that moment.

Lin An was taken aback because it was Xiao Chacha who called.

"Are you there?" she asked.

"Yes, yes, what's wrong?"

"Come out and have a drink with me."

"what?"

"I'm in a bad mood and don't want to invite girls for drinks. I don't have many female friends, and I'm worried that the ones I can invite might be taken advantage of. So, you're the one who's here to drink with me."

"Um, Sister Chacha, I have something I need to take care of, this..."

"One thousand yuan, I'll cover the cost of the drinks and travel expenses."

"Hello, which bar are you at? Your nanny, Xiao An, is at your service."

"I'll give you the address in a bit. I'm heading out now and need someone to listen to my story."

"Okay, I'll head out right away."

Lin An was quite happy to take on this task, since Xiao Chacha didn't have any feelings for him anyway. Lin An also liked to drink, and he knew a little about lesbians. The existence of lesbians wasn't something that should be fantasized about, because they genuinely had no feelings for men.

After all, he didn't have anything else to do, so having a drink was a good idea. Lin An was also willing to listen to stories, so he went out without informing Xu Qinghuan, because there was no need to.

Xu Qinghuan never informs him when she goes out, so Lin An does the same.

The bar Xiao Chacha mentioned was called Wufei, which was a quiet bar for drinking. Lin An couldn't be happier, because drinking in a quiet bar was the real way to drink and truly experience the joy of alcohol.

However, he arrived earlier than Xiao Chacha. He asked for a two-person seat in a corner, waiting for Xiao Chacha to arrive before ordering drinks.

Xiao Chacha arrived quickly.

Lin An waited silently there, and his eyes brightened slightly when he saw her appear.

Xiao Chacha was wearing a black T-shirt and white bodycon hot pants. The T-shirt was an off-the-shoulder style, and her hair was casually draped over her shoulders. She looked hot and sexy. She wasn't wearing makeup, but her face was still pretty enough, and her figure was also good. If we were to talk about her temperament... she was more like a youthful and rebellious girl.

This kind of rebellion is different from Su Yuejin's. Su Yuejin's rebellion is soft, insubstantial, and fake, but this one is real, and you can tell.

Xiao Chacha's eyes quickly found Lin An in the corner, then she walked over and sat down opposite Lin An. Her movements were swift and decisive, and she didn't seem gentle at all.

It seems that the Xiao Chacha girl that Lin An saw that day, dressed in an elegant Lolita dress, was just an illusion.

"Have you ordered any drinks?" Xiao Chacha seemed very familiar with him, crossing her legs as she asked.

"No, I don't know what you like to drink?"

"Tonight is a drinking party."

"Ah... well, I don't really want to drink this."

"Two thousand yuan." Xiao Chacha said this without a trace of sarcasm in her tone; it was pure, natural, and full of generosity.

"Then drink!"

What do you like to drink? Cocktails? Beer? Whiskey?

"I'm fine with anything. It's okay for you, as long as it's not beer. Beer will make you feel full."

"Then let's have whiskey."

Miss Xiao Chacha ordered a bottle of Yamazaki 18-year-old.

Lin An absolutely adores Miss Xiao Chacha because this wine is expensive. It's fantastic for wine lovers, but the price is prohibitive.

The waiter thoughtfully brought over two aroma cups and casually asked if we wanted an ice hockey puck.

Neither of them wanted it.

"So Chacha, what's wrong with you?" Lin An looked at her face and asked softly.

He didn't know why, but he felt almost no pressure when he was with Xiao Chacha. Although they weren't very familiar with each other, he was probably used to playing games with Xiao Chacha and getting used to her energetic and childishly cute way of playing games.

Xiao Chacha crossed her arms, downed the whiskey in her aroma glass in one gulp, wiped her lips with a tissue, looked at Lin An's face, but instead of answering his question directly, she asked in return, "Are you a scumbag?"

"Of course not."

"I... ran into some trouble today, and then, the trouble exploded, and I was blown to bits too." Xiao Chacha said this, then coughed, probably choking on the drink she had just taken.

After Lin An finished coughing, he also took a sip of wine. It felt great; you really do get what you pay for.

"The girls I was chatting with got caught today. One of them got in touch with several others, and then those girls got together and broke up with me." As Xiao Chacha said this, Lin An, who had just taken a sip of wine, was stunned and his eyes widened.

"……what?"

How many?

"Four."

"Wow, that was impressive. Four-pronged operation, and now they've been taken down?"

"Yes." Xiao Chacha nodded.

"So it seems... you're not planning to try and keep me?" Lin An asked tentatively.

"Those girls gave me one last chance, letting me choose one of them. If I really decided to live a good life and have a good relationship, they would all agree to let me have my way. But in the end, I didn't choose any of them."

"why?"

"Because I don't love anyone." Xiao Chacha said this, but there was a hint of self-mockery in it.

“I don’t know much about the lesbian world. Can you tell me about it?” Lin An poured her a drink and then clinked glasses with her.

"The world of lesbians is also about pure love, it's just that I'm not a good person... I used to treat love like a toy, because our views on love weren't accepted by the world anyway. Most men would just look at us with ambiguous eyes and think that girls like us are more fun to play with, but I especially hate men."

"Didn't you say last time...that you're bi...?"

"I was just kidding. I don't like men." Xiao Chacha glanced at him disdainfully. Lin An shrugged helplessly, and then Xiao Chacha swirled her wine glass and quietly drank by herself.

"Tell me, how can someone like me find happiness?"

She looked up at Lin An, as if bewildered and helpless, like a drowning person grasping at a straw that could save her.

In reality, Lin An didn't know much about her.

This is also an interesting interaction process in many relationships between men and women. The woman knows that the man doesn't know much about her, but she still wants to ask him some questions about her. If the man can guess correctly when there is not enough information, then he must be very compatible with her.

In fact... all you need to do is rely on a few tricks and say some ambiguous things. Not just be ambiguous, but also rely on the other person's behavior to guess the core and motivation hidden beneath their words, actions, and habits.

Analyzing a person is a very interesting thing.

"Then we need to investigate why you don't like men anymore. Is it innate? Or... childhood factors?"

"You want to know?"

"Only by knowing the cause can we give the answer."

"Can you save me?" She seemed to be slightly drunk.

"I can't, but I can offer advice," Lin An replied objectively, as he disliked making grand pronouncements.
