99: Chapter 99 is trending again.

"A business trip? Bringing me?"

Lin Xiao pointed at himself in confusion.

Although his Eldest Sister's suggestion did align with his current needs, he remembered that her business trips were always abroad and lasted for quite a while, which wouldn't be suitable for him.

Lin Chuge nodded and smiled temptingly, "We're going to Egypt this time. I can take you to see the mummies for free!"

In truth, seeing mummies was a minor point; she mainly wanted Lin Xiao to help check if the project and the person in charge over there were reliable.

But as soon as Lin Xiao heard it was so far away, he waved his hands repeatedly. "No, no. I've already been delayed at Sixth Sister's Girls School for a while. If I go abroad with you, it'll take at least another half a month, right?"

"Alright then."

Lin Chuge shrugged indifferently.

She had only mentioned it in passing anyway and hadn't really expected Lin Xiao to go abroad with her.

At that moment, Lin Ran leaned in again. "Bro, how about joining a variety show with me? It's right here in the Imperial City, so it shouldn't take too long."

After witnessing Lin Xiao's inner thoughts, Lin Ran had become somewhat addicted to gossip.

Where was the most gossip to be found?

The Entertainment Industry, of course!

Lin Ran felt an indescribable excitement at the thought of discovering more secrets about those people.

Just as Lin Xiao was about to refuse, his phone suddenly rang.

It was a call from Qiu Xiaoyan, whom he hadn't been in contact with for a long time.

As soon as the call connected, an urgent voice came from the other end. "Lin Xiao, hurry and check the School Forum! You're famous again!"

Lin Xiao was about to correct her, saying she shouldn't use the word "again" for this kind of thing.

Qiu Xiaoyan added, "It's... it's about you going to the Girls School in women's clothing. Someone took a video and posted it... Lin Xiao, you took a leave of absence recently, you couldn't have really..."

"Let me see!"

Lin Xiao was jolted awake. He hung up and opened the School Forum.

Sure enough, the top posts were all about him.

"Shocking! A mysterious student from University A actually appeared in a Girls School! Is this a loss of morality or a distortion of human nature?"

"Suspected strange hobby of the Lin family's young master: giving up on a prestigious school to become a cross-dressing legend!"

"..."

The post contained clear videos of him at the Girls School. Because his features were too distinct, it was basically impossible to deny.

The comments below were also quite colorful.

Some brought up the previous issue regarding Lin Xiao's sexual orientation, categorizing him as a pervert.

Others claimed it was just Lin Xiao's performance art, saying that young masters from wealthy families enjoyed such strange performance arts.

There were also some unpleasant remarks, mostly posted by people who had conflicts with Lin Xiao before.

All sorts of opinions were flying around, but not a single one was related to the truth.

Lin Xiao slowly put down his phone, his eyes becoming a bit dazed.

He really was "famous again"!

Initially, he thought the management of the Girls School was relatively closed-off, and combined with his completely different style of dress, he shouldn't have been recognized so easily.

He hadn't expected it to attract so much attention.

The administrators of the School Forum showed no intention of intervening, letting the posts go viral.

He believed it would soon ferment and spread outside the school.

"Eldest Sister..."

Lin Xiao suddenly grabbed Lin Chuge's arm. "Look at the rotten idea you guys came up with. They all think I'm a pervert now. You can't just ignore me!"

Lin Chuge took the phone, looked at the comments, and couldn't help but laugh.

She gently patted Lin Xiao's shoulder and comforted him, "Alright, alright, how could I ignore you? Don't worry, this kind of thing will only ferment within the school at most. I won't let it spread outside."

Lin Xiao opened his mouth.

Not letting it spread meant Lin Chuge didn't intend to interfere with what was happening inside the school.

He had originally planned to go back next Monday, but given the current situation, his dignity would be dragged through the mud if he returned.

After much hesitation, Lin Xiao finally made a choice.

"Fifth Sister, how about... I go to the variety show with you."

...

For the sake of her daily work convenience, Lin Ran had always lived in a small Villa outside.

Since the recording of the program was about to start soon, she suggested that Lin Xiao move in as soon as possible.

Lin Xiao nodded silently. Just as he was about to say something, his eyes suddenly lit up.

[Eh? There's actually gossip tomorrow?]

[Then I definitely need to move in as soon as possible!]

Lin Chuge and Lin Ran looked at each other, their curiosity piqued.

"The weather is still good anyway, how about I move in today!"

Lin Xiao said with a hint of excitement.

"Mhm, I have everything there. You just need to go back and grab some clothes."

Lin Ran was also quite expectant.

Lin Chuge took the initiative and said, "Then I'll give you two a ride."

With that, she stood up to pay and led the way out.

After returning home to pack some things, the three siblings arrived at Lin Ran's apartment.

This Villa wasn't very large, but the decoration was very exquisite.

A housekeeper came to clean every day, so everywhere was very clean and tidy.

Lin Xiao was settled into the guest room. After packing his things, he found that Lin Chuge was still sitting in the living room.

"Eldest Sister, aren't you going back yet?"

"Mhm, there isn't much going on at my company these next two days."

Lin Chuge leaned back on the sofa, looking quite lazy. "Besides, we sisters haven't seen each other in a long time and plan to chat more. I'll stay here tonight too."

Lin Ran resisted the urge to expose Lin Chuge's little scheme.

What "chatting more"? She clearly just wanted to stay here to watch the gossip!

Lin Xiao didn't suspect anything. He just stood on the second-floor balcony, looking outside from time to time.

He had just received a gossip preview. He was also looking forward to seeing exactly what kind of gossip it would be.
