107: Chapter 107 The way the three women looked at their mentally challenged son
"Celebrations everywhere! This rebellious son finally dared to open a Weibo account! Fathers, assemble! Let's show our boy some support!"
"Young Master Lin, don't play dead! Quickly post a high-definition, uncensored selfie so the brothers can feast their eyes!"
"Living the good life lately, rebellious son? Haven't you been drained dry yet? Young man, take it easy. You need to learn some restraint, or you'll be needing a wheelchair to get around soon."
"My heart feels empty if I don't hear Teacher Lin's brazen, arrogant quotes for a day. Teacher Lin, show yourself immediately!"
"'Exclusive Guardian of the Babies'? Hahahaha! I bet this sissy bio was definitely forced upon him by those big celebrity wives!"
"Report! Yesterday, a paparazzo spotted the rebellious son and Yaya holding hands while shopping at Wangfujing! What's going on here? Is Yaya planning to overthrow Yang Mi and become the head wife?"
"Rebellious son, come out and take a beating! Hurry up and kowtow to your foster fathers!"
Lin Chen swiped across the screen, scanning from top to bottom.
In the comment section, eight out of ten called him a "rebellious son," while the remaining two sarcastically called him "Teacher Lin."
His expression was calm, revealing neither joy nor anger.
Staring at the screen in thought for a few seconds, he tapped directly on the comment with the most likes—the one demanding he kowtow—and typed a reply in a leisurely manner: "I am your grandfather."
He scrolled through them one by one, retorting to each one.
Lin Chen suddenly seemed to have found an amusing game, his fingers tapping rapidly on the screen, appearing exceptionally persistent.
With this reply, the entire comment section exploded instantly.
When the netizens saw the man himself actually interacting, their enthusiasm was ignited, and all sorts of brilliant comments emerged one after another.
"Holy crap! The rebellious son replied to me! Everyone, take a screenshot as proof! Rebellious son, even though we're close, the hierarchy cannot be messed up. Call me Daddy!"
"Hahaha! My Brother Lin is a man of the streets—he doesn't say much, but he's ruthless! With this explosive temper, is he planning to take on all the fathers on the entire internet by himself?"
"Oh my, I was actually quite annoyed, but after being retorted like that, I suddenly want to laugh? Rebellious son, if you keep being this cheeky, Daddy is really going to have to teach you a lesson."
"Selling melon seeds and cola in the front row! Everyone please queue up, watch the monkey show civilly, and don't hurt your own side!"
"Shocking! A certain top-tier male star is staging a massive family reunion scene on Weibo!"
Yang Mi, Tong Liya, and Dilraba surrounded Lin Chen.
Watching him focus intently and meticulously engage in a passionate war of words with netizens like an internet-addicted teenager, the three women couldn't help but cover their mouths and giggle.
To be honest, Lin Chen was a complex contradiction.
If you said he was mature, he was sometimes terrifyingly childish and stubbornly pigheaded.
For example, giving up a twenty-million-yuan paycheck just to prove a point—that kind of impulsive behavior was something no adult with a bit of social experience would do.
But if you said he was childish, the intelligence and skill he sometimes displayed were like that of an old fox who had seen the world's grandeur and kept his true self hidden.
That kind of free-spirited nature and deep understanding of human nature in his bones could never be faked.
He was like an unsolvable riddle; you would never be able to guess what trump card he would pull out next or what crazy action he would take.
But it was undeniable that this elusive contrast was as addictive as a deadly poison to them.
Because he could always pull off all sorts of incredible surprises in their plain life, like performing a magic trick.
At this moment, there wasn't a shred of disdain in the three women's eyes, only overflowing doting and love.
Watching Lin Chen sparring with netizens, the look in their eyes was truly no different from watching a landlord's foolish son.
Half an hour passed.
Lin Chen finally stopped, tossed his phone onto the coffee table, rubbed his sore wrists, and twisted his neck.
Yang Mi suppressed a laugh and leaned over to ask: "How's the battle, General Lin? Outnumbered, are you?"
Lin Chen shook his head and replied solemnly: "There are too many people. My keyboard is about to start smoking, I haven't finished retorting yet."
Reba stroked her smooth chin, feigning the seriousness of a military advisor: "That won't do, Honey! We can't lose the battle, we absolutely cannot bow down to evil forces!"
Lin Chen sneered, a wild arc curling at the corner of his mouth: "In my life, the words 'admit defeat' have never been written in my dictionary."
After speaking, he picked up his phone again, switched back to the homepage, and decisively published his first original Weibo post.
The content was simple and crude, consisting of only two words—
[Rebound.]
"Pfft—hahaha!"
The three women finally broke their composure, laughing until they were swaying back and forth, tears almost streaming down their faces.
And the netizens online were even less restrained, falling into a frenzy. The entire Weibo platform crashed for half a minute because of these two words.
"Hahahaha! Is Teacher Lin trying to laugh me to death so he can inherit my Huabei debt?"
"Holy crap! Facing the siege of a million-strong army, the rebellious son maxed out his rage meter and finally unleashed a long-lost ultimate technique! Could this move be the legendary 'Universe shifting' from the Murong family? No! This is an even higher-level causal weapon—the Super Invincible Big Rebound!"
"Rebellious son, you have no martial virtue! You can't out-curse the daddies, so you're just going to act like a rascal here, right? Fine, fine, fine, you win. I laughed so hard I sprayed the water I was drinking all over the screen!"
"What the hell, Rebound! This guy's thought process is insane!"
"Damn! This move is too ruthless! It instantly reminded me of the fear of being dominated by my desk-mate in the third grade!"
"Teacher Lin! Pick up your idol baggage! You are a top-tier star with tens of millions of 'wife fans' now! Don't waste time with these keyboard warriors, hurry up and post a photo of your abs for business!"
"Rebellious son, don't do these empty things, hurry up and confess! When is the next volume of 'ghost blows out the light' being recorded?"
...
Time slipped by until twelve noon.
Lin Chen glanced at the wall clock, tossed his phone aside, and got up to go to the kitchen to prepare lunch.
Since Yang Mi and Reba had managed to take time off to come back, he naturally had to cook for them himself and feed these women.
Just yesterday, he had gone to the supermarket with Tong Liya and bought a bunch of top-quality fresh ingredients, so the fridge was packed full.
Master-level cooking at full throttle.
Before long, a table full of hearty dishes that were a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate was served.
The rich aroma wafted toward their noses; Yang Mi and Tong Liya were already drooling.
Reba couldn't help herself and reached out to grab a piece of braised pork. But before she could touch the edge of the plate, the back of her hand was slapped mercilessly by Lin Chen.
"Go wash your hands. Aren't they dirty?" Lin Chen glared at her.
Reba ran to the sink to wash her hands, looking aggrieved.
When the three women were sitting obediently at the dining table, picking up their chopsticks and preparing to feast, Lin Chen suddenly raised his hand to stop them: "Wait a moment, don't move yet."
Under the three women's monster-like stares, Lin Chen picked up his phone, found the right angle for the sumptuous feast, and "click," took a photo.
Then he skillfully opened Weibo, uploaded the picture, and added the caption:
[The women at home just got back, just whipped up a simple meal.]
Click, send.
Yang Mi, Tong Liya, and Reba were all confused, looking at each other.
This man, who usually couldn't even be bothered to reply to WeChat messages, had actually started getting addicted to posting on Weibo? This sudden change in style was a bit too creepy!
In fact, even Lin Chen himself found it unbelievable.
He originally had no interest in this kind of online social networking, but just now, while battling with netizens, he had actually experienced a long-lost sense of relaxation and a wicked sense of humor.
Humans are such strange creatures; there is absolutely no logic to speak of when it comes to quirks.
Some people like to smell car exhaust, some like to pop plastic bubbles, and some like to watch videos of donkey hooves being trimmed in the middle of the night.
Compared to these weird quirks, Lin Chen enjoying retorting to netizens online was simply normal.
The family of four enjoyed the food harmoniously.
And Lin Chen's Weibo once again welcomed a major earthquake.
"Rebellious son! Did you do this on purpose? Posting such poison at noon! The ten-yuan pork trotter rice I just ordered suddenly doesn't taste good anymore!"
"Teacher Lin, be a human! Do you know what kind of psychological blow this is to a female college student who is on a diet eating whole-wheat bread?"
"Wuwuwu, Honey! I'm also your wife who hasn't married in yet! Can you leave a pair of chopsticks for me? I promise I eat little and do a lot of work, and my legs are longer than Yang Mi's, and my chest is bigger than Dilraba's!"
"Wait! Highlight that! 'The women'? Holy crap, so much information! Just how many beauties has this rebellious son hidden in his golden house?"
"At noon, not only is he poisoning us, but he's also force-feeding us dog food! This rebellious son is beyond saving, drag him out and bury him!"
This time, it wasn't just netizens having a party below; the celebrities Lin Chen knew in the industry also chimed in with comments and reposts.
Liu Shishi: [Aggrieved.jpg] Honey, looking at that table full of food, didn't you feel that the house was empty, missing one of the most well-behaved and sensible wives?
Guli Nazha: [Angry] Lin Chen! I'm angry! Why did you make so much delicious food when I'm not home! You must compensate me!
Song Dandan: Oh my! This knife work, this heat control! Teacher Lin has brought out all his best skills. It's making this old lady drool to death.
Song Zuer: Wow! Brother Lin Chen, I want to eat too! [Drooling]
Lei Jiayin: Teacher Lin, asking weakly, is your house still looking for a cleaner or a doorman? I can do any job, I don't need wages, just food and accommodation is fine.
Huang Bo: Holy crap! Which sister-in-law went back? So sumptuous! If I had known, I would have shamelessly gone to your house for a meal at noon!
Yue Yunpeng: Borrowing some heat to insert an ad! Tonight, Teacher Lin will make a surprise appearance at the Deyun Society small theater to support the show! This is a mysterious big shot that my master personally invited! Friends in the capital, don't miss it, tickets are limited, buy them quickly!
