After the villain was reborn, he found out that he had a childhood sweetheart.

"Yeah. You're different from the others..."

"Is there a possibility that it's just your illusion, and we are actually very ordinary."

"Really? I don't believe it."

"..."

If he could be reborn a few years earlier, Lin Yun would definitely run to Lao Xu and persuade him not to raise his daughter like this.

He finally understood what was wrong with Xu Jingyi's brain.

This girl is too young and has been exposed to too many things. She cannot bear it and her thoughts inevitably become extreme.

For example, the humans in the works of Ksitigarbha were forcefully indoctrinated with the knowledge of the ancient gods, losing their reason or even going crazy... Putting aside the question of whether human nature is despicable, humans are indeed creatures that require a long time to grow, especially children in their teens and twenties. Often, after a year or two, when they look back at their own thoughts, they will find themselves a little funny at that time.

However, Lin Yun feels that this is not a shortcoming of human beings, but rather proves that humans are good at thinking and progress, which is a great shining point of human beings.

Faced with Xu Jingyi's paranoia, he did not refute immediately, but lowered his head to eat.

The chef brought by the Xu family has great cooking skills.

You can't just eat the meal someone treats you to and then call them childish and pretentious. That's too despicable. At least wait until after the meal is over before calling them out.

Even Lin Yun did not forget the fundamental reason why he came here today.

"Thank you for taking care of Lin Xiangling's family affairs."

"You're welcome. I'm glad I could help you. Does this count as surrender?"

"... To be honest, I feel a little uneasy when you do this. The organization you think of... well, even if it really exists, I can't bring you any practical benefits." Lin Yun decided to persuade Xu Jingyi to give up the entanglement in a way that she might be more receptive to. "It's unnecessary."

"It is necessary. There is no need for practical benefits. I think it is interesting, that's enough." Xu Jing paused and raised the corners of her lips. "If you still feel bad, please give me some ideological guidance."

"..." Lin Yun thought to himself, what the hell am I supposed to be coaching? Am I worthy of it?

To be honest, although classmate Xu is possessed by a demon, she became possessed by the "ancient god knowledge". In comparison, Lin Yun is really just a monkey from Luoyin Temple. If Xu Jingyi thinks too much, then he is just too lazy to think so much.

Questions like "the nature of human nature" and "will the world become a better place" are inherently incompatible with Lin Yun's brain structure. As mentioned earlier, Lin Yun's brain is suitable for thinking about "why doesn't Kennen use his ultimate?"

When you are full, you are not hungry; when you are sleepy, you need to sleep; when you have diarrhea, you need to drink a packet of montmorillonite powder... Even if you make money, it is so that you can still live well after being squeezed by the family in the future. Even Lin Yun has never thought about "whether I feel guilty for making this money as a reborn person" or "as a young master of a chaebol, am I born with original sin and should commit suicide by cutting off my head and hanging it on a street lamp"... Why so many concerns? Just do it!

As for the aspect that Xu Jingyi cares about, Lin Yun just has simple good intentions and tries to be as gentle as possible. For example, when he fired Wang Yuni's father, he also helped him find a good job. He also did not delay the wages of employees in the real industry and tried to pay all five insurances and one housing fund...

After all, Lin Yun didn't think he was qualified to guide Xu Jingyi.

But Xu Jingyi was looking forward to it, so Lin Yun had to bite the bullet and say something: "Well, I don't think you need to think so seriously. In fact, those reports you have done, even if they can't solve the problem at the root as you said, have indeed helped a lot of people, which is very good."

"Hmm..." Xu Jingyi nodded thoughtfully, "Don't worry too much about the results, but get meaning from the process itself?"

"..."

Lin Yun felt that this child was probably hopeless, just like the various “Master, I’ve got it” jokes in the literary magazines of the last era. It seemed that Xu Jingyi could have an epiphany whenever Lin Yun said some nonsense.

"Let's talk about something else. Everyone has his or her own way of living. There's no need to get hung up on it."

"That's right." Xu Jing took a sip of white wine. She didn't pretend to be sophisticated about her taste in wine. Just now when Lin Yun passed by the lounge, he saw a row of sweet wines on the shelves. Lin Yun thought it was great. He had been drinking white wine for so many years but still didn't understand how to drink it. He always felt that the bitterness was unbearable. The sweet feeling of being slightly tipsy was the best.

Lin Yun also took a sip.

At this time, the waiter brought the main course, a grilled platter for each person, with Beef Wellington at the core... This is an interesting traditional dish in Western cuisine, with beef wrapped in puff pastry, but the quality of the product varies greatly. It will only be fresh and delicious when the chef is of good quality and the meat is good enough.

After tasting it, Lin Yun praised it generously: "It's delicious. It's probably the best Wellington I've ever tasted."

"My father likes Western food, so all the Western chefs in our family are from famous families."

"No wonder." Lin Yun thought of how Yangxin Pavilion couldn't even make ordinary Western-style pastries. As expected, the family's food preferences basically followed the most powerful person in the family. After all, Grandma Lin was not interested in Western-style cooking at all.

"Now that we have the main course, it's time to discuss the most important topic."

"What is it?" Lin Yun said nonchalantly. The most important thing for him was to thank her for helping the little pig, otherwise Lin Yun would not have come.

"Blind date."

"..."

After a moment of silence, Lin Yun cautiously probed: "Do you really want to go on a blind date with me?"

"Don't you think we are a good match? From your perspective, it can help you get rid of the situation of being an unknown family member; as for me, if I decide to marry you early, I won't have to worry about my father forcing me to marry those messy men in the future."

"But I am a messy man."

"What good is there in devaluing yourself in front of me? I'm not a fool, Lin Yun. I know you're different from them. I hate those men who spend their days drinking and partying, but you... you have a very clean smell."

"Wow, really? How come I didn't notice?"

"I feel sick to my stomach when I think about sleeping with those superficial men I met at the party, but if that person is you, not only will I not hate it, I will even look forward to it. After all, you are so cute..."

"Thank you for the compliment, but don't you think this is too... too cold, Miss Xu?" Lin Yun frowned and said, "Even if it's a blind date, you have to consider the relationship. Unfortunately, you and I don't have an emotional foundation, and I'm not interested in developing an emotional foundation with you."

"A family marriage!" Xu Jing raised her knife and knocked the table with the handle. The heavy stone table made a loud sound, and then the girl chuckled, "Ha, you are actually talking about love!"

"I will refuse my family's arrangement and not get married."

"You can't refuse. What if the old lady forces you?"

"Then I will cut off ties with my family."

"It's pointless to argue...Okay, I'll argue with you." Xu Jingyi was still confident in his point of view, "Even if you date and get married like ordinary people, I will still be your best choice."

Lin Yun was so angry that he said, "Okay, okay, then tell me why?"

"So-called love is nothing more than physical impulses disguised as spiritual ones. I guarantee that you will be satisfied with this."

"No, love... is different from what you said." Lin Yun refuted firmly, "Some things cannot be explained by such vulgar thinking. Just like you think that my childhood sweetheart and I are an alliance of interests, it is actually far from what you think, Xu Jingyi, don't be too extreme."

Xu Jing leaned back slightly and laughed a few times in a somewhat nervous manner.

Then he placed his hands on the table, stared at Lin Yun and said, "Love... Love is the most hypocritical thing in the world. I didn't expect you to still believe in it."

"I'm not a high-ranking monk, so it's not strange that I believe in love."

Xu Jingyi stood up silently, walked around the large dining table and towards Lin Yun, her skirt swaying.

The momentum made Lin Yun a little scared, and he also stood up and retreated repeatedly.

"Hey, what do you want to do..."

boom!

The back of his head hit the wall, but it didn't hurt much, but it made Lin Yun stunned.

In a flash, Xu Jing pushed him hard against the wall.

"Don't use love as an excuse... If love really exists, why didn't Dad want Mom anymore? Why did Mom want me to die with her? Why did Dad just watch from the sidelines? Why? Why?"

"What on earth are you talking about..."

Tears burst out and flowed down her delicately made-up cheeks. Her strong and calm temperament suddenly disappeared, replaced by a fragmented feeling mixed with a bit of madness.

The waiters waiting outside the door broke in, and an agile aunt rushed over to support Xu Jingyi, stuffed pills into her mouth, and fed her water.

The scene was a little chaotic for a moment, but it quickly calmed down, and Xu Jingyi returned to his seat to rest.

After controlling the situation, the aunt apologized to Lin Yun repeatedly, and Lin Yun said it was okay.

You are an adult, you shouldn't be frightened by such a small scene.

Moreover, since Xu Jing had mentioned before that she had been ill, Lin Yun was somewhat mentally prepared.

It’s just that… the words she just said contained a billion bits of information… hiss…

Lin Yun didn't know much about the Xu family's situation, but he vaguely heard that Xu Jing's mother died when he was in elementary school.

It was announced to the outside world that it was an accident, but now it seems that if the information is true, what happened back then was definitely not simple.

However, Lin Yun didn't want to delve into it!

Or maybe I don't dare to delve into it... As the male protagonist's concubine, it's already strange that Xu Jingyi is going on a blind date with him. Now she's actually considering a marriage with him, and even reveals a side of her that's completely different from her usual self and that no one knows about...

No matter how you look at this development, it seems like Lin Yun stole the male lead's role!

Lin Yun smelled something bad.

Fortunately, after taking the medicine, Xu Jing seemed very tired. After expressing her apologies, she left to rest and did not take the opportunity to make demands on him.

Lin Yun quickly ran away.

……

Three days after Xu Jingyi fell ill in front of Lin Yun, Jiang Qianxi and Yu Sheng officially reconciled.

Of course, there is no logical connection between these two things, but Xu Jingyi did not bother Lin Yun during these three days, so it was equivalent to double happiness, and the trio had hotpot at home to celebrate.

The advantage of cooking hot pot at home is that it is quieter and you don’t have to endure the noise of a restaurant. You are also freer in choosing ingredients and they are cheaper too.

Lin Yun showed them the account for buying futures and said that they have temporarily achieved the condition of not having to consider the cost-effectiveness when cooking hot pot. However, the two childhood sweethearts seriously rejected his idea, saying that although Lin Yun had enough money, they did not.

In fact, it’s almost time. I recently contacted the organizer of the music festival to invite Jiang Qianxi... No, it should be said that I contacted Jiang Qianxi through Lin Yun and invited her to perform.

There are also music variety shows and talent shows, but Lin Yun directly rejected them. Jiang Qianxi does not need to gain fame quickly through these means. Besides, if she wants to make a name for herself in talent shows, she must sign with a corresponding entertainment company... How could Lin Yun let her sign with another company?

Jiang Qianxi's main job is a singer-songwriter. She just needs to quietly write songs and sing, and complete her studies step by step before considering other things.

As for whether to go to the music festival... that depends on Qianxi's own opinion. The tickets for the music festivals in 2015 were shockingly cheap. For example, the famous Berry Music Festival, a two-day package was only over a hundred yuan. Compared with the ticket prices of several hundred or even a thousand yuan per day a few years later, it could be called charity.

If the tickets are cheap, the organizer’s profit will be low, and correspondingly, the appearance fee will also be low.

If this is the case for the old music festivals, one can imagine what the less famous ones are like.

To put it bluntly, nowadays only hardcore music lovers and a small group of the most fashionable people go to music festivals, so the audience is relatively narrow... but relatively speaking, the atmosphere among lovers is much stronger, and it is an opportunity for newcomers to showcase themselves, and it is also easier to communicate with peers. This is what Qianxi needs more at this stage. After all, making music cannot be done behind closed doors.

Taking advantage of the free time while eating hotpot, Lin Yun analyzed the situation and asked Jiang Qianxi what she thought.

"As for me, I kind of want to go, but I don't really want to go..." Jiang Qianxi muttered nonsense and looked at Yu Sheng.

She didn't dare to go by herself, so she had to take Ayun with her. However, she had just reconciled with Shengsheng and was afraid that she would have objections.

Yu Sheng raised a smile and put a cooked meatball into Jiang Qianxi's bowl: "We'll have finished our final exams by then, so let's go together."

Jiang Qianxi's eyes brightened visibly, and she nodded frantically: "Yeah, let's go together!"

It has been many days since I saw Jiang Qianxi smiling so happily with her eyes shining. Lin Yun was quite relieved. Sure enough, these two people should still be fine. They have become accustomed to each other. Having a conflict is like breaking an arm or a leg. How can it be comfortable?

Every time the two of them reconcile, they are inseparable. For example, Lin Yun usually helps her prepare food. Today, Yu Sheng took over this task. Lin Yun was happy to play with his phone and reply to Lin Xiangling's messages.

Before he could finish his sentence, two pairs of chopsticks knocked on his bowl at the same time.

"Ayun, please pay attention!" "It's really despicable for a man to think about other women while having dinner with the two women at home."

"..." He was still studying the flavors of the different types of meatballs just now. His attention was clearly not here, but he became alert within five seconds of Lin Yun opening the chat box... How magical.

Lin Yun looked at Qianxi, then at Yu Sheng, and suddenly felt a little guilty.

95. Sheng Sheng's plan failed (3000 words)

In fact, Lin Yun felt guilty, and it had nothing to do with the little pig.

What really made him feel strange was that the two childhood sweethearts were teasing him in a jealous tone... Similar scenes had occurred countless times in the past, but times had changed and now he felt very uncomfortable being in the middle of it.

Because Lin Yun finally understood that jealousy was not just Qingmei's standpoint, which made him a little confused and he didn't know how to respond.

In the past, he didn’t need to care about the specific content of jealousy. He just needed to rub Qianxi’s head with a smile, and then retort Yu Sheng’s sharp words with a smile. But now Lin Yun can’t laugh. Even if the smile can be faked, it always feels weird to do it like before.

So he simply changed his approach and said in a serious tone, "Little Piggy is very enthusiastic about studying recently. We are discussing serious matters. If you don't believe me, just read it."

Lin Yun casually handed the phone to his two childhood sweethearts, and their expressions changed slightly.

"Not interested." Yu Sheng showed a classic look of disgust.

Jiang Qianxi was a little embarrassed: "Oh, it was just a joke, why did you take it seriously, Ayun?"

"Oh, haha, yeah."

"..." "..."

The harmonious relationship between best friends and the peaceful state between childhood sweethearts did not last long in the small world.

They soon encountered their first strange silence.

The good news was that everyone had almost finished their meal, so Jiang Qianxi, who was the first to become unable to bear the atmosphere, stood up and cleared the table.

The disadvantage of cooking hot pot at home is that it is a bit tedious to clean up the mess, but this is actually an advantage for Jiang Qianxi at the moment, as it allows her to have enough time to resolve the embarrassment just now.

Yu Sheng touched her belly. She was tall and slender. If measured by the BMI index, she was always "too thin" or even close to "malnutrition".

Fortunately, she has a light frame, doesn't exercise often, and has a high body fat percentage. As a result, the places where there should be flesh are clearly visible... except for Xiong Xiong.
