If he agreed to Little Chi too easily, she would definitely get too cocky.
Maybe.
She might even keep all the benefits she gained entirely to herself.
Although Lin Yu didn't care about these things, he couldn't let Little Chi's scheme succeed.
Just as Lin Yu thought.
As soon as these words were spoken.
Little Chi's face suddenly tightened, as if she thought of something serious.
She opened her mouth to say something, but didn't rush to speak.
Instead, she drank her soup while waiting for Lin Yu.
Lin Yu was secretly amused.
That little look in her eyes...
Was she waiting for Lin Yu to struggle with himself and then agree on the spot?
As if it would be that easy!
Lin Yu had to play with Little Chi a bit to see how determined she really was.
After waiting for quite a while, Chi Qingchi didn't hear Lin Yu say anything.
Her initially calm heart suddenly became anxious.
She asked curiously in a casual tone:
"Little Lin, what's the situation? Do you not have time?"
"If you don't have time, it's fine. You two only met recently anyway."
"You're not that close, so there's no need to force yourself to help."
Chi Qingchi had brought Xiang Tiange to eat with Lin Yu before.
At the time, the two of them had a pretty good chat at the dinner table.
Now that Chi Qingchi was saying this, she was indirectly putting pressure on Lin Yu.
To see if Lin Yu could really hold out and act as if it had nothing to do with him.
Having interacted with Lin Yu for so long.
Chi Qingchi thought she understood Lin Yu's personality very well.
If a friend was in trouble, even a newly acquainted one, Lin Yu wouldn't just stay out of it.
She never expected it.
Today's situation was actually a bit different!
Lin Yu clapped his hands and said to Chi Qingchi:
"Little Chi, hearing you say that puts my mind at ease."
"I really don't have much time lately. I'm busy filming for my assignment, so how could I manage?"
"Why don't you tell Xiang Tiange that I'll help her next time, how about that?"
"If it's inconvenient for you to tell her, it's fine. I can just send her a message right now."
Saying this.
Lin Yu picked up his phone, making a gesture as if preparing to send a message.
How could Chi Qingchi sit still? She quickly grabbed Lin Yu's arm.
The subconscious action looked somewhat strange.
Noticing Lin Yu's gaze, Chi Qingchi realized what she was doing and quickly let go of his hand.
"There's... there's no need to rush, right?"
"It's fine to tell her tomorrow. What if tomorrow you have..."
Halfway through her sentence, Chi Qingchi saw the smile on Lin Yu's face.
She realized what had just happened.
Ye Mengfu, who was beside them, couldn't help but smile too.
She also understood Lin Yu very well.
Such a decisive refusal was definitely not Lin Yu's style.
Since he chose to do this, he definitely had his reasons.
Looking at it now, he probably just wanted to tease Little Chi.
"Little Lin! You're something else. You said that on purpose, didn't you?"
"You really are a deeply scheming man!"
"Alright, I'll tell you the truth..."
"Actually, E'e'e promised to treat me to a mini hotpot meal if I helped her get you to shoot a video."
"You know about mini hotpots..."
"No, I mean, you know I just love helping people."
"And I know you're a helpful guy, so how could I refuse such a thing!"
In her panic, Chi Qingchi almost blurted out what was really on her mind.
That was a mini hotpot!
How could a little foodie like her refuse?
Lin Yu had already anticipated this, and the facts were exactly as he expected.
Thus.
He said calmly:
"I knew it. You definitely used me as a bargaining chip and made some shady deal with Xiang Tiange."
"A few random words, and I easily exposed you!"
Hearing this, Chi Qingchi quickly cried foul:
"Little Lin, there's nothing shady about it, don't frame me."
"Last time at the venue, she did help us out."
"Isn't it a happy thing to introduce a beautiful girl to be your friend?"
The topic of being friends with beautiful girls couldn't be expanded upon.
Lin Yu immediately brought up his conditions:
"Tell me, the hotpot satisfied you, but what's in it for me?"
"I can't just run errands for nothing, right?"
"With that time, I might as well stay home and play computer games!"
Lin Yu spoke straightforwardly, wanting to see how much Little Chi was willing to sacrifice for food.
After all.
She was someone who could find the kitchen in the middle of the night just by following the smell!
Her dedication to good food far exceeded that of ordinary people.
There was no way to judge her using normal logic.
Chi Qingchi knew she had been caught, and bit her finger in deep thought.
She wasn't worried that Lin Yu wouldn't agree.
She knew that since Lin Yu said this, he would definitely agree in the end.
He just wanted to take this opportunity to extort her a little.
Only this afternoon did she discover Lin Yu's identity as a rich person and realize the gap between them.
If she offered some ordinary conditions, Lin Yu definitely wouldn't agree.
Chi Qingchi tried asking:
"I'll treat you to KFC on Thursday... is that a good enough benefit?"
Lin Yu: "..."
Did she think Lin Yu was like her?
Trying to bribe him with a KFC meal!
Wasn't she dreaming a bit too beautifully?
It wasn't like everyone had a special obsession with food like she did.
Seeing Lin Yu's expression, Little Chi quickly added:
"It seems that won't work..."
"How about I do your summer movie review assignment?"
ions, keeping it grounded and realistic】 After quitting his job, office worker Su Yang accidentally binds with the "Enjoy Life System." As the name suggests, simply by indulging in life's pleasures, he can earn random rewards from the system—no need to spend money on beautiful women or grovel before anyone.
