Why are you always thinking about dating me?

Lin An looked at the crazy, slightly adventurous emotion in her eyes and cursed. Su Yuejin looked a little aggrieved, but this time she obediently took the medicine and sat down next to him.

She always smelled nice, and the pink hem of her skirt draped over her slender, fair legs. She muttered softly, "Did I scare you last night?"

"Ah...it's alright. Just try a different way to decompress next time, that might help. Don't play with knives, understand?" Lin An stared intently at her face, his words spoken with great conviction, more like an order than a suggestion.

Su Yuejin nodded obediently, then hugged Lin An's neck, "I feel... playing with you is very relaxing."

"...So where do you think those sex addicts come from? Most of them are lonely for a long time, which causes that desire to be transferred to physical desire. Tsk, can't you just buy a couple of toys and tinker with them yourself?"

"No way!"

"If you want to buy it for me to play with... I'd be willing." Su Yuejin muttered softly again. Lin An rolled his eyes, reached out and gently tapped her forehead, then asked, "What do you want to eat for breakfast?"

Are you going to make it for me?

"I'm planning to order takeout."

"Then let's have porridge, I'll order." Su Yuejin went to get her phone to order takeout, then leaned against Lin An, as if she would be satisfied with just that. She seemed to be in a good mood and even a little excited.

"How about we stop playing games and go out to play instead?" Su Yuejin's eyes were full of anticipation.

"No, I want to go home."

"Isn't there any room for negotiation?" Su Yuejin hugged his arm again and started shaking it gently, looking all coquettish and aggrieved. Unfortunately, Lin An wasn't buying it. "No."

"You naughty boy," she muttered softly. Lin An simply reached out and rubbed her cheeks, making them into various cute and interesting shapes. Su Yuejin was obedient and didn't try to push his hand away. After a while, she turned on the TV and snuggled into Lin An's arms to watch it with him.

When the takeout arrived, she went to pick it up, and then the two of them ate breakfast together at home. Su Yuejin took out a tissue to wipe his mouth. Lin An looked at her cheek as she approached. Her eyes were bright and clear, and her expression when she was serious was especially moving.

He sighed softly to himself, "Then I'll be leaving, Su Yuejin?"

"No...please stay with me a little longer."

"Oh no, I have an appointment today." He stood up, picked up the takeout box, and smiled back at Su Yuejin.

"A date...?" She asked blankly, her pink lips slightly parted.

“With someone I like,” he added.

Then I watched as the light in her eyes gradually dimmed and faded away.

"Go ahead." Su Yuejin's eyelashes drooped slightly, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking. Lin An simply said, "Take a good rest." When he reached the door, he remembered and added, "So, are you still playing games later? I'm not leaving until this afternoon."

"Play!" Su Yuejin hurriedly raised her arm and looked up.

Lin An chuckled softly, then walked out the door and gently closed it behind him.

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

Going downstairs, the world after the rain was clear and pristine.

Lin An's face showed some worry. He was trying to salvage the situation after the fact. He didn't want to become Su Yuejin's support in life because he felt that his efforts were meaningless. Su Yuejin was the kind of person whose love could be long-lasting and passionate, but she simply didn't understand love... She was just too lonely, so lonely that love filled her heart.

So he would choose to leave in the morning, preferring to play a couple of games at home, and to remind her once again that he has someone he likes, to remind her that he and the person he likes have made new progress, so that her heart would slowly sink.

How annoying! Interfering in other people's lives... What kind of superiority do you have to think of something like this? Maybe the other person doesn't need your kindness or your salvation at all. Maybe Su Yuejin is really filled with desire because of loneliness. She smokes, drinks, and becomes a socialite. For her, that can also relieve her loneliness and solitude... Why interfere with her choices?

Lin An sighed softly. He felt uneasy, or rather, lost, even though Su Yuejin's condition had improved a lot.

People are often unaware of their own needs, assuming that the joy derived from filling empty desires is also joy, even though that is indeed true. Regardless of right or wrong, right and wrong always originate from oneself, not from the judgment of others.

This world is chaotic and twisted; no one can remain untainted.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Lin An arrived home. The curtains were drawn back, and the sun shone brightly after the rain, filling the house with the scent of sunshine. Lin An stared blankly as he murmured Xu Qinghuan's name.

no respond.

He felt inexplicably empty inside, but as he slowly walked to the door, Xu Qinghuan's room door opened, and Xu Qinghuan, wearing a loose-fitting sundress, was gently rubbing her eyes, looking like she hadn't woken up yet.

"My little brother's back." She smiled at Lin An.

"Last night... I did some things that I don't know if I should have done, sister." Lin An's voice was slightly bewildered, but Xu Qinghuan tiptoed slightly, stretched out her fair and delicate hands, and then cupped his face.

"Alright, alright, let's put away that confused and anxious look on your face. If there's anything you don't understand, talk to your sister about it. Although I don't know much either, two people are always better than one."

Lin An looked into her gentle eyes, the light falling on him, as if he were about to be melted away in that instant.

"Yes," he nodded in response.

Chapter 76 If we can't keep him

In Xu Qinghuan's room, Lin An talked to her at length about Su Yuejin's situation and what he had done the night before, all frankly and without any reservations.

He had expected Xu Qinghuan to be angry, and he was prepared to apologize and repent. But after listening to his story, Xu Qinghuan gently twirled the strands of hair at her temples with her delicate fingers and sighed softly with a hint of helplessness.

"What a troublesome guy." She looked at Lin An, knowing what he wanted to say. Lin An was sitting opposite her, so Xu Qinghuan raised her leg and stepped on his shoulder a couple of times with her bare, smooth feet.

"So this is your punishment... Wait, how long did you play?"

"A few hours?"

"Ouch." Xu Qinghuan's foot thumped a little harder, though it still didn't hurt. She took it as a way of venting her anger, and her puffed-out cheeks looked especially cute. Then, Xu Qinghuan turned her head and glanced at the sky outside the window.

"Let me think... Actually, you can think of everything I can think of now, right? Lin An. She's a typical adventurer, a bit on the fringes, but she doesn't have any major psychological problems. Just treat her normally."

"As for love, if you really want to consider the other person's feelings, just remind her appropriately. Over time, it will form a long-term psychological suggestion. She will know that you will eventually leave, and she won't be too sad when she leaves. You can also interweave some psychological suggestions about her getting better. After you completely detach yourself, you don't need to worry too much about her going back to the way she was before."

"Okay, I understand." Lin An looked up and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Okay, that's all for now. Hmm, you go have fun first. I have to go play a training match this afternoon. It's so annoying. I can't even play at home. They have to come out and meet up." Xu Qinghuan muttered softly.

"what?"

"That girl I mentioned before, tsk, she should have already realized it. She'll understand my attitude towards her eventually, it'll be soon anyway," Xu Qinghuan muttered to herself.

She prefers to stay at home most of the time and doesn't like going out as much, and Lin An is the same way.

Lin An went to his room, turned on his computer, and logged into his account. To his surprise, he saw that Xiao Chacha was also online. He created a room and then invited Su Yuejin. A little while later, he heard Su Yuejin's voice.

Su Yuejin's voice was actually very pleasant, clear and cool, not as soft and sweet as a young girl's, but it suited Lin An's taste very well, and Lin An thought it sounded great.

After all, they were used to Xu Qinghuan's naturally sweet and delicate loli voice without having to strain her voice.

"I saw Xiao Chacha is online, should I add her?" Lin An asked.

"Hmm? Are you planning to take her money?"

"Sure, why wouldn't we accept it?"

"Then pull me in." Lin An pulled Xiao Chacha into the room as well. It seemed that Xiao Chacha had been waiting for a long time. As soon as she came in, she was full of enthusiasm and shouted, "I'm here!" Lin An reminded her to remember to pay.

"...You won't even accept money from Su Yuejin." Xiao Chacha's voice was full of resentment.

"I don't want to play anymore."

"An'an, you've changed, waaaaah, it's so cruel."

"really."

Su Yuejin seemed to chuckle softly, sounding particularly cheerful. The group started a match and just played casually. Anyway, Lin An was there, and he was really good at it. His best position was support, but he could play other roles as well.

He and Su Yuejin booked the game. Su Yuejin was an AD carry player, and Xiao Chacha was a top laner. Fortunately, she didn't use Ignite; she brought Teleport more often. So, the group had a lot of fun. The game atmosphere was harmonious, and they didn't talk about anything else. They just happily played the game until the afternoon.

Xu Qinghuan told Lin An when she left that she had ordered takeout for him. Lin An was flattered, but he did all of this while his microphone was off, as he didn't want the two girls to know about his relationship with Xu Qinghuan.

It's as if almost no one knows that Xu Qinghuan is her nominal younger brother.

At 5 p.m., Lin An indeed received a message from Luo Shuishui. He knew that he was going to be used as a tool in this round. Of course, he thought it was fine, so he wouldn't owe Luo Shuishui a favor.

"We need someone to play guitar, so, are you coming? Ziyue Plaza."

"Weren't you with your friends...?"

"Oh? The plans changed at the last minute. My sister and parents went to the beach, but I didn't go. So, it's tiring to sing and play guitar all by myself."

"Okay, I'll be over in a bit. You have an older sister, right?"

"Yes, and she's an absolute stunner." Luo Shuishui's voice was very gentle.

"I always thought you were an only child," Lin An muttered casually. Then he said goodbye to Su Yuejin and Xiao Chacha. The two girls were tired from playing, so they said goodbye to each other.

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

"You seem to be in a good mood lately," Xiao Chacha said casually to Su Yuejin in a message.

"Because I've actually met someone I like, hehe."

"Are you feeling better now? Or are you still the same as before?" Xiao Chacha asked, and Su Yuejin knew what she wanted to know.

"I'm much better now, at least much better than before, but last night... I suddenly felt so annoyed and sad." Su Yuejin typed that line on the keyboard. Xiao Chacha was probably about to say something to comfort her when she saw that Su Yuejin had sent another message.

"Then I played four games with him last night, hehe."

"..." Xiao Chacha realized that this was all she could reply with. Was this guy doing it on purpose or unintentionally? Xiao Chacha was furious, but this matter...

Why is Lin An playing with her again?!

Xiao Chacha clearly thought Lin An wouldn't touch her again for a long time, right? He was afraid of her possessiveness, afraid of entering Su Yuejin's world, so he should keep his distance. But this guy, this guy...

He didn't even touch me! Yet they played together for so long last night!!

"You... don't think I don't know that Lin An doesn't like you, right?" Xiao Chacha typed, seemingly trying to dampen Su Yuejin's high spirits.

"So what? I like him anyway. It's not like the person I like has to like me back... Anyway, he liked me when we were playing together, hmph."

"If you keep going like this, it will be very difficult to clean up the mess in the end."

"I don't care. Besides, how different are your views on love from mine?" Su Yuejin muttered to herself. She was oblivious to the anger behind Xiao Chacha's screen. She simply wanted to say it and tell Xiao Chacha that Lin An was already hers and that she shouldn't even think about touching him.

This was a triumphant display of power, but Xiao Chacha was utterly helpless to say anything.

"How about we go out for a stroll or have a meal together?" Xiao Chacha suggested.

"Okay, you can tell me the location."

"Let's do it later. I'll take a shower first. Let's go to Ziyue Plaza and eat their stone pot fish. I've been craving it for ages." Xiao Chacha typed, and Su Yuejin typed "1" to indicate her agreement.

What are you wearing? How about we wear JK uniforms?

"Tsk, you're wearing the same thing as me, so how can you compare?" Su Yuejin said smugly, which made Xiao Chacha so angry that her teeth itched.

"When are you going to put away that awful temper of yours?"

"I wouldn't want that with you."

"Fine, I'm ignoring you. I'm going to take a shower. I'll text you when I leave."

"Ah."
