278: Chapter 278 Be Your Little Brother

Lin Xiao managed to make it to roll call on time, and he temporarily cast the matter of his aunt to the back of his mind.

After class, as soon as he stepped out of the classroom door, he saw Yang Yong.

He originally wanted to pretend he didn't see him, but Yang Yong blocked his path directly.

"Lin Xiao, let me treat you and Xiao Fu to a meal!"

Yang Yong grinned, revealing a bright smile, "We'll go to that new trendy restaurant next to the school!"

Lin Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly and looked Yang Yong up and down.

This guy's opening line actually changed today?

Shouldn't he be continuing to invite him to join the Paranormal Club?

At this moment, Zhang Xiaofu walked over from the other side and waved at Lin Xiao, "Brother Lin, were you looking for me?"

Lin Xiao turned his head to look at Yang Yong.

Yang Yong quickly explained, "It was me looking for you! Hehe, I was afraid you wouldn't come if I just called you, so I made up an excuse..."

After hearing this, Zhang Xiaofu turned around and was about to leave.

But just like he had blocked Lin Xiao earlier, Yang Yong blocked Zhang Xiaofu's path, "I'm really treating you today, give me some face!"

Zhang Xiaofu and Lin Xiao exchanged a glance.

If someone is overly attentive without reason, they are definitely up to no good!

They didn't know what Yang Yong was planning again, and they didn't want to be easily taken in.

"Yang Yong, just say what you need to say! If you don't make it clear, Brother Lin and I won't be going."

Zhang Xiaofu crossed his arms over his chest, his gaze full of scrutiny.

Yang Yong opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and then let out a heavy sigh.

"Alright, then I'll just say it."

Yang Yong took a deep breath, his expression becoming complicated, "Actually, it's not my business; it's my girlfriend's business."

"Oh?"

Zhang Xiaofu teased, "Did you get dumped?"

Yang Yong waved his hand, "No, it's my girlfriend's cousin's uncle's niece's aunt's mother's side aunt who got into trouble!"

Lin Xiao: ??

Zhang Xiaofu: ??

"No, how did you even figure out that whole string of relationships?"

Zhang Xiaofu asked in astonishment.

"That's not important!"

Yang Yong waved his hand again.

"Fine, fine, just get to the point, what happened to your girlfriend's... relative?"

Zhang Xiaofu asked impatiently.

Yang Yong scratched his head embarrassedly, "Actually, I don't know either. My girlfriend just said the matter was very tricky and wanted me to go help her, but she didn't say exactly what it was... I was afraid I couldn't handle it alone, so I thought about calling you guys to go take a look."

This doesn't sound like anything good!

Zhang Xiaofu rolled his eyes in annoyance, wanting to refuse directly.

But he suddenly heard Lin Xiao's inner voice.

[Heh, you don't know, but I do!]

[But it's nothing interesting; it's not a ride to kindergarten.]

...

Zhang Xiaofu immediately swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

His attitude changed along with it.

Unfortunately, he couldn't ask about the content of the inner voice, so he could only pretend not to know and look at Lin Xiao, "Brother Lin, what do you think? Do you want to go?"

"No."

There was nothing unusual about Lin Xiao's tone.

The inner voice did not sound again either.

Zhang Xiaofu was very curious and continued to press, "Then do you want to guess what exactly happened over there?"

Lin Xiao shook his head silently, "Not guessing."

This attitude made Zhang Xiaofu more and more curious.

It was maddening, like his heart and liver were being clawed at.

He really wanted to know what "not a ride to kindergarten" meant!

Really having no other choice, he gritted his teeth and said to Yang Yong, "Brother, I'll help with this favor. I'll go with you when the time comes!"

"Really? Thanks!"

Yang Yong was very touched.

Lin Xiao looked up at Zhang Xiaofu's face.

He saw that on that originally goofy face, a trace of death aura had emerged.

[Sigh, this guy is going to go deliver his own head!]

Zhang Xiaofu was startled.

Deliver his own head?

Could it be that this is actually a dangerous job?

But he was still very curious, and since he had already agreed, it wouldn't be good to go back on his word.

At worst, he'd just bring a few more bodyguards!

Thinking this way, Zhang Xiaofu felt slightly more at ease.

But just at this moment, the expression with which Lin Xiao looked at him became even more complicated.

[Sigh, his physiognomy has changed again.]

[He's going to die even more miserably now!]

[Tsk, tsk, tsk.]

...

Zhang Xiaofu only felt a cold sweat rise up his back.

If it were anyone else telling him he had some so-called impending disaster, he absolutely would not have believed it.

But the one speaking now was Lin Xiao!

This person who, in his heart, was like a god!

Could it be that he really shouldn't get involved in this matter?

Immediately, he didn't care about keeping his word anymore; he took two steps back, distancing himself from Yang Yong.

"Um, brother, I want to say one more thing. How about you ask what exactly happened over there first? I just don't feel very secure about this!"

"Huh?"

Yang Yong didn't expect Zhang Xiaofu's attitude to change so quickly.

The heart he had just set down was suspended once again.

He said with a bitter face, "I asked, but my girlfriend doesn't seem to know either. She figured since we're all relatives, we'd know once we go take a look."

After speaking, he seemed to realize something, "Wait a minute! In the past when my girlfriend asked me for help, I never thought about asking others for help, but this time my first reaction was to come find you guys. And now that you guys are so unwilling to help, could it be that this matter is really... not right?"

He was truly worthy of being the president of the Paranormal Club, smelling something unusual so quickly.

Zhang Xiaofu didn't know how to answer, so he had to look at Lin Xiao, "Brother Lin, you have great supernatural powers, you decide. Are we going or not?"

Anyway, as long as Lin Xiao didn't go, he wouldn't go.

He definitely couldn't handle such a dangerous place by himself.

His life was more important!

Lin Xiao rested his chin on one hand, seemingly deep in thought.

Yang Yong pleaded, "Lin Xiao, please, I already promised my girlfriend I would find friends to go help. Just agree! To repay you, I can be your lackey for a month afterward!"

"Huh?"

Zhang Xiaofu was surprised, "Why are you stealing my job?"

Yang Yong ignored him and just looked at Lin Xiao with burning eyes.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Xiao extended one finger.

"One, one semester?"

Yang Yong asked uncertainly.

"Always!"

Lin Xiao said flatly.

"Ah? This 'always'... does that mean a lifetime?"

Yang Yong was incredulous.

Isn't this just taking advantage of someone's misfortune!

But he trusted his intuition.

Going to help his girlfriend this time was likely not going to end well.

If he went alone, he really had no confidence.

After thinking for a moment, he gritted his teeth, "A lifetime is too long. How about until graduation? Before I graduate, I'll be your lackey!"

"Good! No problem!"

Lin Xiao agreed decisively.
