33: Chapter 33 It's so good!
By the time the two of them reached the hotel entrance, they were both soaked.
Although Ye Shuangshuang was holding the clothes Lin Yi had taken off over her head, a thin piece of clothing could hardly block such heavy rain.
Her wet long hair clung to her fair neck, and small droplets of water dotted her face.
The pure white dress clung tightly to her slender waist.
Right now, Ye Shuangshuang looked as lovely and pitiable as a lotus flower emerging from the water.
As for Lin Yi, he was in even worse shape.
He looked from head to toe as if he had just returned from the Water Splashing Festival.
Not a single spot on him was dry.
The two walked to the front desk. The receptionist was a tall, thin man who knew at a glance they were there to take shelter from the rain.
Lin Yi took out his ID card and asked,
"Do you have any rooms available?"
The receptionist checked the computer and replied,
"Yes, sir. It just so happens we have exactly two rooms left!"
Hearing this, Lin Yi almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
What do you mean?
What do you mean 'just so happens to have two'?
Is that even human language?
You, how can you have no situational awareness at all!
In this kind of situation, shouldn't you say, 'I'm sorry sir, we only have one room left'?
Lin Yi was speechless in his heart.
But since the receptionist had already said it, if Lin Yi took the initiative to suggest opening only one room now, it would seem too much like he had ulterior motives.
Should he find some excuse? To get the receptionist to only open one?
Lin Yi's brain began to spin rapidly.
A man's IQ in this kind of moment can even rival Einstein's.
However, Lin Yi thought for a full minute and still couldn't think of a suitable excuse.
He couldn't exactly say they were opening one room to save money.
That would be too fake.
A room was only a few hundred yuan.
He had casually given Ye Shuangshuang a bag worth tens of thousands before.
Lin Yi subconsciously glanced at Ye Shuangshuang.
Ye Shuangshuang was currently looking down, using a tissue to wipe the raindrops off herself.
Although she liked Lin Yi and didn't mind something happening with him—
After all, Lin Yi was currently the most perfect candidate for a partner in her heart.
It wasn't impossible to give herself completely to him.
But for this kind of thing, a girl couldn't be the one to suggest it first.
Moreover, the two of them had only known each other for a few days.
If it happened tonight... wouldn't that be too fast...
So, Ye Shuangshuang could only pretend she hadn't heard and continued to silently wipe the rain off herself.
Seeing that Ye Shuangshuang had no intention of voicing an opinion, Lin Yi awkwardly turned back and held up two fingers to the hotel receptionist.
"Then... then let's open two rooms..."
After saying this, Lin Yi cursed the receptionist's entire family in his heart.
But he still had to maintain an expression on his face as if he'd never had any improper thoughts to begin with.
Hearing this, Ye Shuangshuang felt a bit disappointed, but also relieved.
Regarding that sort of thing, she indeed wasn't ready yet.
Over the years, although she had many pursuers, she had perfectly managed to pass through the garden of flowers without a single leaf clinging to her.
Although some rich second-generation heirs had tried to grope or get fresh with her,
they had all been stopped in their tracks.
Until now, she even still had her first kiss.
Lin Yi's gentlemanly behavior deepened Ye Shuangshuang's good impression of him even further.
Ye Shuangshuang: Favorability +10 points
Current Favorability: 80 points
"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining a 10-point reward. Current total points: 20."
Lin Yi didn't expect that just by opening two rooms, Ye Shuangshuang's favorability would actually rise another 10 points.
He remembered the system mentioning before that when favorability reaches 100 points, he could obtain an extra reward.
Now that Ye Shuangshuang was at 80 points, she wasn't far from 100.
He wondered what good things the system would reward him with then.
...
...
Lin Yi's room was right next door to Ye Shuangshuang's.
After getting the rooms, the two of them went into their respective rooms.
Lin Yi heard the sound of Ye Shuangshuang closing her door. Although he felt it was a pity,
this sort of thing couldn't be rushed.
The fact that Ye Shuangshuang's favorability rose because Lin Yi opened two rooms showed that she hadn't planned on anything happening with him tonight anyway.
Lin Yi also understood the principle that 'good things take time.'
Sleeping together was secondary.
The most important thing now was to raise Ye Shuangshuang's favorability to 100 as soon as possible to see what the system would reward him.
And to increase her favorability, he had to do things that would touch her heart.
Normally, Lin Yi would have absolutely no idea how to please a girl.
To a 'straight steel man' like him, women were simply the most difficult creatures in the world to understand.
But it was different now.
Now he had the system.
He could easily see the changes in a girl's favorability toward him.
He only needed to observe the change in favorability after doing or saying something to a girl to deduce her inner thoughts.
...
Lin Yi returned to his room, took a comfortable hot shower, and lay on the bed, opening his phone.
He had received a dense pile of messages on his phone.
Lin Yi started replying to them one by one.
First was He Linwei's message.
He Linwei: "Old Lin, you're not coming back tonight?"
He Linwei: "Curfew has already passed. You brat, you couldn't have gone on a date with some beauty, could you!"
He Linwei: "Is it the senior sister who gave you water the other day, or that female streamer with the great body?"
He Linwei: "Hehe, if you ask me, you should just take down both of them."
He Linwei: "But watch your health. Although we're young, we can't handle too much of that."
Lin Yi sent back an eye-rolling emoji and said he was visiting classmates at another school and wouldn't be back because of the heavy rain.
Then Lin Yi clicked on Chen Yao's chat box.
Chen Yao: "Mr. Lin, I went to the hospital today and paid the fees. Here is the detailed bill; I'm sending a picture for you to see."
Chen Yao: "Thank you very much for your help."
Chen Yao: "Are you free tomorrow night? I'd like to invite you to our home for a meal. I'll cook personally."
Lin Yi checked; it seemed he really didn't have any plans for tomorrow night.
Since a beauty had taken the initiative to invite him, he definitely had to go.
Moreover, he could buy some gifts to bring to them while he was at it, which would be a good way to get a wave of cashback.
He had just bought a car for over two million; maybe a wave of cashback tomorrow would recoup some of that.
So Lin Yi replied, saying he would attend the appointment on time tomorrow evening.
After exiting Chen Yao's chat box, Lin Yi saw that Li Tong had also sent a message.
Li Tong: "Lin Yi, did you know? After Guan Zhixue argued with you on the playground yesterday, she hasn't returned to the dorm."
Li Tong: "I guess she went to that bald guy for comfort."
Li Tong: "Actually, I've been unable to stand her behavior for a long time."
Li Tong: "She doesn't deserve you at all!"
Lin Yi chuckled in his heart. It seemed the friendship between Guan Zhixue and Li Tong was indeed a 'plastic sisterhood.'
However, he didn't care what Guan Zhixue did anymore.
He had completely moved on.
Anyway, the more money he spent, the more it increased, and there were more and more different types of girls around him.
He wasn't going to cling to the past.
In this time, wouldn't it be better—wouldn't it be 'sweeter'—to win over a few more girls and get more system rewards?
