142: Chapter 142 There are two jealous people in the family.
"Bring a friend?"
"Him?"
Chu Sen looked at Lin Yi, feeling like he had seen this face somewhere before.
Su Ming nodded.
"That's right, I want to bring him along!"
Lin Yi didn't say anything from the side.
He wanted to see how this fellow Chu Sen would react first.
He was going to Zuimeng Island anyway.
The system reward could only be unlocked upon arriving at Zuimeng Island.
But Chu Sen was not pleased.
Inviting everyone to Zuimeng Island was originally just a pretext.
His true purpose was to take this opportunity to confess his feelings to Su Ming once more.
The island's scenery was beautiful, and Chu Sen had specifically hired a team.
They would help him set up a romantic confession on the island when the time came.
But now, Su Ming was actually suggesting bringing a male friend along.
Who was this guy?
Since when did Su Ming have male friends?
He couldn't be her boyfriend, could he!
"No!"
"He can't come with us!"
Chu Sen looked at Lin Yi warily and shook his head very firmly.
"He's not a member of our Student Union!"
After saying that, fearing the other students would think he was being too obvious about targeting him, Chu Sen added another explanation.
"Mainly, the spots are limited this time."
"As you know, Zuimeng Island is about to open and it's extremely popular."
"The spots Zuimeng Group gave me are also limited; I can only bring these Student Union cadres at most."
"Unless... someone here is willing to voluntarily give up their chance..."
Chu Sen's last sentence was said extremely cleverly.
He pretended to give Lin Yi a slight chance.
But Chu Sen knew that everyone really wanted to go to Zuimeng Island to broaden their horizons.
No one would be willing to give up this opportunity.
So, he was just saying it for the sake of saying it.
In passing, it could also give Su Ming the illusion that he had indeed done his best.
After Chu Sen finished speaking, the students present were silent.
Seeing this, Su Ming also knew that she couldn't force the matter.
"Lin Yi..."
"What should we do..."
"I want to go with you..."
Su Ming carefully pulled Lin Yi's arm, afraid he would be angry.
Seeing Su Ming's intimate manner, the students present were all stunned.
Was this still that ice-cold, aloof school beauty?
This was the first time they had seen her show such a little girl's posture!
Who was this guy?
Had he put some kind of spell on School Beauty Su?
Chu Sen, in particular, became even more determined not to let Lin Yi go along.
Lin Yi looked around, saw the jealousy in everyone's eyes, and shrugged helplessly.
"Susu, just go with them."
After saying that, he leaned close to Su Ming's ear and whispered in a voice only she could hear.
"Don't worry, once you get to Zuimeng Island, you'll see me."
Hearing Lin Yi say this, Su Ming finally felt at ease.
She always believed what Lin Yi said unconditionally.
Chu Sen was gnashing his teeth in hatred nearby.
When he called her Susu just now, Su Ming had a look of displeasure and told him not to call her that anymore.
But when Lin Yi called her Susu, Su Ming looked sweet.
Where did this guy named Lin pop up from?
Didn't Su Ming just break off her engagement with Li Runze yesterday? How did this Lin guy manage to swoop in so quickly?
A boy nearby saw through Chu Sen's thoughts and carefully leaned toward him.
"Brother Sen, I know that guy."
"He's the one who was rumored on the campus forum to be having an affair with Su Ming..."
"Although that matter was debunked at the time."
"But looking at it now, their relationship is definitely not ordinary!"
"Maybe that recording that went around online was real!"
"The two of them probably really were in the infirmary..."
Chu Sen's face turned livid, and he gave the boy a sharp knock on the head.
"Don't talk nonsense!"
"My Susu couldn't possibly be that kind of person!"
Although Chu Sen said that, he couldn't help but believe it a little in his heart.
It seemed he had to hurry and win Su Ming over; he absolutely couldn't let this Lin Yi get the upper hand!
...
...
After Lin Yi returned to the villa that evening, Ye Shuangshuang and Li Tong had prepared a large table of food.
"You two are really becoming more and more virtuous."
"You're going to spoil my taste buds!"
Lin Yi flattered the two of them while eating.
The two girls' faces turned slightly red; Lin Yi's praise was clearly very effective.
But soon, the two of them began to interrogate him about last night's events.
"We're just learning to make some home-cooked dishes; how can they compare to the delicacies of Ziyun Building?"
"Yeah, some people were eating so happily at Ziyun Building last night that they forgot to come home, staying out all night."
"It made us worry for quite a while."
"Luckily, I have Manager Yang's WeChat from when I worked part-time as a dancer at Ziyun Building."
"I only found out after asking her that some heartless person just slept there after drinking last night."
"And didn't even think to tell us."
"He simply doesn't care that there are two people at home worrying about him."
Ye Shuangshuang and Li Tong complained in tandem.
Lin Yi's face turned red, and he gave a sheepish laugh.
"Won't happen again, won't happen again, hehe."
"By the way, starting tomorrow is the seven-day holiday. I plan to go to Zuimeng Island; why don't you come with me?"
Fearing the two would continue to probe into last night's matter, Lin Yi quickly changed the subject.
Hearing 'Zuimeng Island', a flash of joy appeared in Ye Shuangshuang and Li Tong's eyes.
But soon, both of them shook their heads.
"I'm not going. Yang Xiaoli and I still have to do our part-time jobs. The holiday is exactly when we're busiest; we can't get away at all."
Ye Shuangshuang also chimed in.
"I also have to do a part-time job with Tongtong. She said her boss will be giving out red envelopes during the holiday!"
Lin Yi was somewhat puzzled.
"Why do you two still need to do part-time jobs?"
"Are you short on money?"
"Just tell me how much you need and I'll give it to you directly."
The two of them refused in unison.
"No, we can't always rely on you."
"You've already given us a lot."
"We also want to earn money through our own hard work."
Seeing Lin Yi becoming more and more outstanding, the two girls' inner unease grew stronger day by day.
They were afraid that one day, when Lin Yi stood even higher, he would look down on them.
So both of them wanted to try to become independent and work hard to become more excellent, so that they would be worthy of staying by Lin Yi's side.
Seeing the two looking so serious, Lin Yi had no choice but to nod in agreement.
In his mind, he planned to simply have them work at his company in the future.
After taking over Zuimeng Island, he would likely need manpower anyway.
Lin Yi didn't have that much energy to manage so many things.
The most convenient way was to hand over company matters to these girls around him to look after.
Their favorability towards him had all reached one hundred percent; they would definitely do their absolute best for him.
After finishing dinner and going upstairs, Lin Yi sent messages to school beauty Xu Dongqing and Class Beauty Jiang Xiaowan.
He invited them to go to Zuimeng Island together during the holiday.
Originally, Lin Yi also wanted to invite the sisters Chen Yao and Chen Fei.
But considering that those going were basically all classmates, Chen Yao and Chen Fei might feel uncomfortable if they went.
So he decided against it.
After receiving Lin Yi's message, Xu Dongqing and Jiang Xiaowan immediately agreed.
Next.
Lin Yi briefly packed his travel luggage and then turned off the light, preparing to sleep.
At this time, the bedroom door was pushed open by two figures.
Ye Shuangshuang and Li Tong walked in.
Considering that Lin Yi was going on a trip tomorrow and likely wouldn't return until after the holiday.
Knowing they wouldn't see Lin Yi for the next seven days, both of them felt a bit reluctant to let him go.
"You're leaving tomorrow, and yet you didn't even think to spend more time with us today."
"Heartless..."
Hearing this, Lin Yi suddenly felt energized.
He patted the bed beside him.
"Then why don't we... squeeze in together?"
