31: Chapter 31 Nesting

Hearing Ye Shuangshuang's question, Lin Yi felt a bit flustered.

He wasn't a fool; he could naturally hear the underlying meaning in her words.

This was the first time a girl had taken the initiative to ask such a question.

But how should he answer?

If he said he came specifically for her, it would make him seem too eager, which would inevitably lower his value.

But if he said he didn't, it would hurt the girl's feelings.

Lin Yi was momentarily in a bind.

"Um... how about we go eat first? I'm a bit hungry."

Lin Yi found an excuse, trying to change the subject.

Ye Shuangshuang didn't get the answer she wanted, so she stared intently at Lin Yi's face for a while, unwilling to give up.

Suddenly, she seemed to think of something and burst out laughing.

In her view, Lin Yi's behavior was clearly a young man's shy reaction after having his true feelings exposed.

"He even specifically wore the clothes I bought for him to come see me today."

"He definitely wants to use this to show how important I am in his heart."

"A rich man like him can afford a panamera, so his clothes at home must all be designer brands."

"Yet he's willing to wear the cheap clothes worth a few thousand yuan that I gave him."

"If this isn't love, then what is?"

"He's probably just too embarrassed to admit it."

"That makes sense, we've only known each other for a few days; making things official now would be a bit too fast."

"Maybe he'd even think I'm frivolous."

"Alright then, I'll just follow his pace and take it slow."

Ye Shuangshuang replayed everything in her mind, believing she had thoroughly analyzed Lin Yi's intentions.

Furthermore, she suddenly felt that the man in front of her was quite cute.

He spent money on her like a big spender, yet he had never made any demands.

He didn't confess, nor did he try to take advantage of her.

She didn't expect to find such a 'hidden gem' of a boy these days.

Rich, yet very sincere.

It was very rare to find these two qualities in the same person.

Ye Shuangshuang: Favorability +5 points

Ye Shuangshuang: Favorability +5 points

Current Favorability: 70 points.

"Ding! Rewarding Host with 10 points."

Lin Yi was stunned when he heard the system notification.

Despite using such a clumsy excuse to change the subject, Ye Shuangshuang wasn't unhappy; instead, her favorability actually increased!

Why was that?

Lin Yi could scratch his head until he went bald and still not understand.

What exactly did he do just now that made Ye Shuangshuang's heart flutter?

Was it because he drove a panamera?

That shouldn't be it... If so, her favorability should have increased the moment they met...

But the timing of the favorability increase was right after he said he was hungry and wanted to eat.

Was there something attractive about that sentence?

Is loving to eat a bonus point now?

Lin Yi was completely baffled.

As the old saying goes, a woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea!

However, Lin Yi soon stopped dwelling on it.

Whatever the reason was.

Either way, he had gained 10 points for free—a total win.

...

...

A short while later, Ye Shuangshuang walked to the cafeteria with her arm linked through Lin Yi's.

The two of them sat down at a table by the window.

Ye Shuangshuang told Lin Yi to sit first while she ran back and forth, bringing a whole table of dishes.

They were all signature dishes from their school cafeteria.

They looked, smelled, and tasted excellent.

Lin Yi's mouth watered at the sight.

It seemed Ye Shuangshuang wasn't lying; the food in their school cafeteria was indeed great!

"By the way, Shuangshuang, I actually need your help with something."

Lin Yi spoke with his mouth full as he ate.

Ye Shuangshuang was stunned, wondering what she could possibly help Lin Yi with.

She was just an ordinary college student, while Lin Yi was a wealthy young master.

What could he need her help for?

Seeing her reaction, Lin Yi recounted the whole conflict between He Linwei and Hu Kai in the dorm yesterday.

"That's how it happened."

"That girl is a freshman in this year's intake at your university."

"I think her name is Sun Xiaoxiao."

"I want to take the initiative to lure her in, then reveal her true colors to my useless roommate."

"So he stops spending money on her every day like a simp."

"He doesn't even have much for living expenses in a month."

"He can't even afford to eat his fill every day."

Hearing about this, Ye Shuangshuang also got excited.

She didn't realize at all that she had previously strung other boys along in the same way.

Girls can be quite double-standard sometimes.

When they do the same thing, it's excusable; when others do it, it's an outrage against gods and men.

Besides, Ye Shuangshuang had a very good impression of Lin Yi now.

As long as she could help Lin Yi, she would definitely do her best.

"Then tell me, how do you want me to help you?"

Seeing Ye Shuangshuang agree, Lin Yi chuckled, partially covered his mouth, and whispered his plan to her.

After listening, a mischievous glint flashed in Ye Shuangshuang's eyes.

"Lin Yi, don't worry, leave this little matter to me!"

...

...

After finishing their meal, the two began their plan.

Ye Shuangshuang accompanied Lin Yi back to where his panamera was parked and helped him strike several handsome poses.

Then she ran off to a distance and took several handsome photos of Lin Yi from a candid perspective.

Lin Yi's appearance was already quite good.

He was over 1.8 meters tall with a perfectly toned, lean physique.

Paired with the minimalist style clothes Ye Shuangshuang had picked for him,

the image of a handsome university student immediately emerged.

Moreover, when Ye Shuangshuang took the photos, she deliberately included Lin Yi's panamera.

And she chose an angle that wasn't too obvious.

It looked more natural and wouldn't make people think it was a staged shoot.

After taking the photos, Ye Shuangshuang went to the school forum, created a burner account, and posted a grid of nine photos of Lin Yi.

She also added a caption.

"I saw a handsome guy driving a panamera under the dorm building today. I really want to get to know him."

"Does anyone have his contact info? If so, could you please send it to me! Wishing good people a safe life!"

On the school forum, many people would post confessions or try to track people down.

So, many people jokingly called the school forum the 'Confession Wall'.

Lin Yi and Ye Shuangshuang were full of confidence, knowing this move would definitely work.

However, this kind of thing couldn't be rushed.

After all, not everyone would be staring at the school forum's updates in real-time.

What they were doing now was equivalent to setting the bait.

They had to wait patiently.

Once the fish gathered, they would catch the one they wanted.

"Since we're free right now, how about I take you for a drive to catch some breeze?"

Lin Yi was a novice driver and was currently full of passion for driving; as soon as he had a moment, he wanted to touch the steering wheel again.

Ye Shuangshuang was naturally willing as well.

She hadn't ridden in a panamera yet.

Besides, a man and a woman alone in a car felt somewhat ambiguous no matter how you thought about it.

Ye Shuangshuang felt a bit excited in her heart.

She wondered if Lin Yi would make any further moves on her in a moment.

How could she know that Lin Yi, this 'straight man,' really just wanted to drive?

With a stomp on the accelerator, the silver-white panamera sped out of the gates of Nanling University of the Arts and onto the city's elevated highway.
