90: Chapter 90 What to do if it's too popular?

Lin Xiao looked at the envelope, stunned for only a moment, before instantly realizing something.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one around was paying attention, he immediately stuffed the envelope into his clothes.

However, this scene was still caught by Lin Wanwan, who was standing nearby.

"A-Xiao, that wouldn't happen to be..."

"It's nothing, nothing."

Lin Xiao gave Lin Wanwan a stiff look and lowered his voice, saying, "We'll talk about whatever it is when we get back!"

Lin Wanwan smiled knowingly, her expression full of hidden meaning.

After the gathering ended and they returned to the dormitory, she immediately leaned in.

"A-Xiao, hurry up and take a look!"

Sure enough, no one could resist the temptation of gossip.

Lin Xiao shook his head helplessly and took the pink envelope out from his chest pocket.

When he brought it closer, he could still smell a faint fragrance on it.

The letter was long, but the content was very simple.

It was filled with "I like you" written all over the page!

As if suddenly thinking of something, Lin Xiao threw the letter onto the table and picked up a mirror to look at himself.

"Wait a second, how is this actually a love letter? Did my disguise slip? Huh? It didn't... Could she have realized I'm not a girl?"

"Ahem, A-Xiao."

Lin Wanwan reminded him at the right moment, "Is there a possibility, just a possibility... that she actually likes girls?"

Lin Xiao lifted his head, trembling.

It seemed that this was the only possibility.

Lin Wanwan picked up the letter and looked at the signature at the end, a figure vaguely appearing in her mind.

The girl from earlier had left in a hurry, and she hadn't seen her clearly.

However, if she remembered correctly, this girl should be in the same major as them, and they had taken a public class together before.

In Lin Wanwan's impression, this girl was usually very low-key, sitting silently in the corner with her friends every time they had class, without making a sound.

"How did it end up like this..."

Lin Xiao was still stuck in deep self-doubt.

Being liked by a girl who liked girls was a bit of a heavy blow to him.

Lin Wanwan smiled and said, "I guess, maybe it's because of the time you stood up to Lu Fei, which made many people think you're impressive, and then some people started to have feelings for you, and so..."

"Alright, alright, I'll just go and clarify things with her tomorrow."

Lin Xiao took out his phone and sent a message to the contact information on the letter.

"Meet behind the school playground at five o'clock tomorrow afternoon."

Tomorrow happened to be Friday, and Lin Xiao had already packed up his things here. Tomorrow, he would go home with Lin Wanwan, and he would officially bid farewell to life at the Girls School.

The text message was replied to quickly, saying she would definitely be there.

It even had a cute emoji added at the end.

If this were in the past, Lin Xiao would have felt somewhat happy to be liked like this.

But now, he only felt a headache.

The next day, accompanied by Lin Wanwan, Lin Xiao came to the playground together.

From afar, they saw the cute girl standing under a tree, appearing a bit nervous.

In order not to make the girl feel awkward, Lin Wanwan consciously waited in the distance and did not follow him over.

When the girl saw Lin Xiao walking over, her eyes lit up immediately, and she trotted over to him.

"You, you agreed?"

"Uh, no, I just wanted to come and tell you that there seems to be a misunderstanding about some things."

Lin Xiao didn't try to hide much and got straight to the point, revealing that he was The Boy and explaining his purpose for coming to this school.

The girl's expression changed from initial shock to gradual confusion.

But there was simply no disgust, as Lin Xiao had imagined.

In his impression, this kind of girl should hate men, and hate being deceived by men, right?

Why did it seem like this girl didn't have much of a reaction?

"So that's how it is..."

The girl finally had some reaction.

As if after some hesitation, she responded solemnly, "Actually, I don't mind."

"Huh?"

Lin Xiao was stunned.

"I mean, I don't mind that you are The Boy... I'm not the kind of person who only likes girls; I also like boys!"

The girl lifted her head, a smile spreading across her face.

This could happen too?

Lin Xiao never expected that things would develop in such a bizarre direction.

He quickly stepped back and raised his hand, "Wait, wait a second, I don't want to date right now, I'm really sorry."

The girl was very cute, especially when she smiled, looking bright and sunny.

This also made Lin Xiao feel a bit soft-hearted.

But what could he do even if he felt bad?

He wasn't some scumbag; liking someone couldn't be forced, and he didn't want to deceive her.

The girl just kept her head raised, staring fixedly at Lin Xiao.

Looking at his expression, which was incredibly sincere and devoid of any affection, she finally understood.

Her nose immediately felt sour, her mouth turned down, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Hey? Don't cry!"

Lin Xiao was completely caught off guard.

But the girl didn't give him a chance to comfort her; she just covered her face and ran away crying.

Watching the girl's retreating figure, Lin Xiao let out a heavy sigh.

"Yo, did you hurt someone?"

Lin Wanwan didn't know when she had walked over and gently patted Lin Xiao on the shoulder, "A-Xiao, the fact that you could be honest with that girl already makes you a very good boy. Sister believes in you!"

Lin Xiao rolled his eyes at Lin Wanwan, annoyed, and turned to walk towards the main gate.

Lin Wanwan quickly followed, still looking like she was enjoying the show, "A-Xiao, I heard from Mom and Dad earlier that there are quite a few girls at your school who like you. Tsk tsk tsk, you're really popular! Maybe one day you'll be picked up by a Rich Woman."

Facing Lin Wanwan's teasing, Lin Xiao didn't say a word and silently quickened his pace.

Arriving at the main gate, the family driver hadn't arrived yet.

Lin Xiao intended to wait by the side of the road for a while, but just at this moment, a luxury car slowly drove over.

From the car stepped out a woman around forty years old, dressed elegantly and luxuriously.

The woman walked straight towards Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao was a bit confused and turned to look at Lin Wanwan.

Lin Wanwan was equally confused.

"Are you both students here?"

The woman asked with a smile.

"Uh, yes."

Lin Xiao was puzzled, but he answered truthfully anyway.

The woman in front of them clearly wasn't an ordinary person; her every gesture exuded an air of nobility.

Perhaps she was also waiting for her child to come out and was just chatting with them for a bit.

The woman took a bottle of Evian mineral water from her bag and handed it over, "Here, treat yourself."

Although Lin Xiao was still confused, he accepted it and unscrewed the cap to take a few sips.

For one, he was indeed a bit thirsty now, and for another, he guessed that this woman might want to ask about something and was trying to strike up a conversation on purpose.

Furthermore, this was the school gate after all, so Lin Xiao wasn't worried about encountering some bad person who would drug him.

But after he finished drinking, he noticed that the woman's smile became even brighter.

She moved closer to him again, grabbed his arm, and said in a coquettish voice, "Little sister, since you've agreed, then come with me."

This sudden situation left both Lin Xiao and Lin Wanwan stunned.
