Lin Xuan got up, washed his face, and checked his phone messages. He noticed that Wang Dahe had sent him several messages.
【Wang Dahe】: Xuan, listen, Qin Ruoyao went crazy today. She actually bought you breakfast and left it on your seat, but I ate it.
【Wang Dahe】: This is like red rain falling from the sky! You used to be the one bringing her breakfast. Why is she suddenly bringing it for you? Could she have fallen for you and is trying to pursue you?
【Wang Dahe】: Xuan, I’m telling you, Qin Ruoyao is all fake affection. Don’t let her fool you.
【Wang Dahe】: I think Su Hua is much better. She’s powerful, rich, beautiful, and treats you well. You should focus on her. And let’s not be the kind of guy who plays with two hearts at once!
Well, as the saying goes, "If you eat someone’s food, your mouth softens; if you take someone’s gifts, your hands soften."
He had to help Su Hua keep an eye on Lin Xuan and make sure he didn’t get lured away by some other girl.
Lin Xuan replied helplessly:
【Don’t worry, I’m not interested in her at all.】
Even if she threw herself at him, he wouldn’t take her!
Wang Dahe replied quickly, 【That’s good!】
【By the way, Xuan, why didn’t you come to class this morning? Are you feeling unwell?】
Lin Xuan: 【Ah, my girlfriend is too clingy. She held me in bed and wouldn’t let me leave.】
Wang Dahe, who had just been force-fed a mouthful of dog food: “…” He shouldn’t have asked!
Damn it, he needed to find a girlfriend too!
Ugh!
He had a strong suspicion that Lin Xuan would keep flaunting his relationship in front of him from now on.
At the dining table, Lin Xuan was feeding Su Hua some shrimp. “Hua Bao, you love this. Eat more.”
The servants in the dining room: “…”
Butler Wang: “!!!” Hua Bao?
Such a term of endearment for the young lady?
This was surreal, too surreal!
Su Hua’s eyes deepened.
Hua Bao?
That nickname actually sounded quite nice…
In the afternoon, Lin Xuan appeared at school.
He was now the school’s hottest topic—handsome, wealthy, and the author of a best-selling novel!
Many girls looked at him with excitement.
“Lin Xuan is so incredibly handsome. How did I not notice how good-looking he was before?”
“If only I had known earlier, I would have pursued him.”
“Don’t even think about it. Lin Xuan likes Qin Ruoyao. You don’t stand a chance.”
“Qin Ruoyao is already in the past. Do you see Lin Xuan paying any attention to her now?”
“Qin Ruoyao’s here. Stop talking.” One girl nudged her friend’s shoulder.
Qin Ruoyao walked past them with a grim expression, her fists clenched tightly.
No, she wasn’t in the past. Lin Xuan had only temporarily given up on her.
If she was willing to lower herself and pursue Lin Xuan, he would surely take her back. And when that happened, she would make sure to shut them up!
As soon as Qin Ruoyao left, the two girls scoffed.
“Who’s she putting on that sour face for? What’s she so proud of? All she does is use her looks to seduce men!”
In their eyes, Qin Ruoyao was nothing but a pretentious, scheming “green tea b*tch.”
When Qin Ruoyao entered the classroom, she saw Lin Xuan sitting at his desk organizing his things. Her heart raced uncontrollably.
Lin Xuan had become so much more handsome compared to before.
And soon, he would be her boyfriend, her husband. Even Lin Li hoped she and Lin Xuan would end up together.
These two brothers would both be her men.
Qin Ruoyao handed Lin Xuan the knee pads she had prepared earlier.
Lin Xuan frowned.
“Lin Xuan, these are knee pads I sewed for you myself.” Of course, she hadn’t sewn them herself—she had bought them. Her hands were too delicate to be pricked by needles and covered in blood.
“You play basketball often, and all that running and jumping is hard on your knees. These knee pads will help a lot.” After explaining, Qin Ruoyao shyly returned to her seat.
The rest of the class watched her actions with surprise.
“Did the sun rise from the west today? It used to be Lin Xuan chasing after Qin Ruoyao, but now she’s the one giving him gifts?”
“Qin Ruoyao must have fallen for Lin Xuan.”
“What do you think Lin Xuan will do? Will he accept the knee pads?”
Many of the boys in the class had become fans of Lin Xuan’s novels and spoke of him with admiration.
“I hope Lin Xuan doesn’t go back to her. He’s so outstanding now. He can have any woman he wants. Why settle for Qin Ruoyao?”
Wang Dahe looked at the knee pads with suspicion.
This wouldn’t do.
He couldn’t let Qin Ruoyao have a chance to seduce Lin Xuan. He had to help Su Hua keep an eye on him.
“Xuan, don’t you already have knee pads at home? These look ugly. You shouldn’t take them.”
“Yeah, I think they’re pretty ugly too.”
Lin Xuan picked up the knee pads and walked straight ahead. Qin Ruoyao’s heart raced, and her cheeks flushed.
Why was Lin Xuan walking toward her? Was he coming to thank her?
Or maybe he was going to tell her how much he liked the knee pads and ask her not to go through the trouble of sewing them for him in the future.
As expected, Lin Xuan still couldn’t let her go.
Qin Ruoyao was thinking about how to respond to Lin Xuan when, to her shock, he walked right past her, went to the front of the classroom, and threw the knee pads into the trash can… the trash can…
“Holy crap! Lin Xuan just threw away the knee pads. Does that mean he doesn’t like Qin Ruoyao anymore?”
“So satisfying! Brother Xuan is so bold!”
“I’ve realized Qin Ruoyao isn’t as much of a goddess as I thought. She’s just an ordinary girl.”
Qin Ruoyao’s eyes instantly welled up with tears, her face filled with hurt.
This was something she had given him. How could he just throw it away?
As Lin Xuan walked back to his seat, he had to pass by Qin Ruoyao’s desk. Qin Ruoyao grabbed his arm, her voice breaking as she asked, “Lin Xuan, why?” Why was he treating her like this?
Lin Xuan disgustedly shook her off.
“No particular reason. I just think those knee pads are trash, and trash belongs in the trash can, don’t you think?” Lin Xuan’s tone was mocking.
