215: Time Management Master

Lin You immediately straightened up and gasped sharply.

A Shura Field is impossible; Lin You never wants a Shura Field in this lifetime... He replied "Okay" three times in a row, immediately got out of bed, hopped on his electric scooter, grabbed his phone, and headed toward the location Wang Xiaoyi had sent for Xu Sisi's house.

It was just past ten o'clock, and Lin You had already planned out his activities for the day in that short amount of time.

First, he would go to Xu Sisi's house to taste Wang Xiaoyi's egg tarts, then go to the City South Shopping Mall to eat barbecue with Xie Xingmeng, and finally, go on a date with Du Zhaoyu in the evening.

Lin, Master of Time Management, You.

Lin You wished it were September already so he could go to college immediately. If all his good friends were in different schools, wouldn't the difficulty of this operation decrease? In Ancheng, there are too many acquaintances, which easily leads to trouble.

Xu Sisi's house was located in the City North, in a residential area built at the beginning of this century, featuring Western-style houses. It was on the riverside section of Yanjiang Road, considered the Ancheng's affluent district twenty years ago, and was less than a kilometer away from Ancheng No. 7 Middle School.

The neighborhood security guard was very responsible. Lin You waited at the entrance for a while before Xu Sisi and Wang Xiaoyi came downstairs.

"Welcome, Lin You~" Xu Sisi seemed very enthusiastic. After signaling to the guard, she led Lin You into the neighborhood.

High school life had officially ended. Xu Sisi no longer faced the crisis of having her English Class Representative position "threatened" by Lin You. On the contrary, her grades had improved slightly because Lin You had instructed Wang Xiaoyi to share notes with her, putting Xu Sisi in Lin You's debt.

Furthermore, although Wang Xiaoyi didn't say it, she liked Lin You deeply. Xu Sisi saw all of this, and overall, Xu Sisi's impression of Lin You was quite good.

By association, she treated Lin You as a good friend too.

Wang Xiaoyi stood straight, looking at Lin You with a wide, happy smile. "Youyou, what time did you play until last night? Did you get enough sleep?"

"I got enough sleep. What about you two? Did you have fun last night?"

"Super happy..." Wang Xiaoyi's eyes were brimming with smiles; she couldn't wait to share every little detail of last night with Lin You.

Lin You parked his vehicle, and the three of them walked around the neighborhood.

After about ten minutes, Lin You rubbed Wang Xiaoyi's head. "Oh right, where are the egg tarts?"

Xu Sisi tilted her head. "Aren't you going to come inside my house? The egg tarts are still warm in the oven. Don't worry, my parents aren't home."

Seeing Lin You hesitate, Xu Sisi continued, "My sister isn't home either. Besides, you're not my boyfriend, so why are you afraid of visiting my house? Plus, Xiao Yi has already promised me she won't stay in the dorms for a while and will stay with me at my house. Are you really not going to come see the cute, lovely, soft, and sweet Xiao Yi recently?"

Lin You narrowed his eyes at Xu Sisi, then checked his phone. "I have plans to eat lunch with a friend... but I still have enough time. I'll come up and sit for a bit then."

"A friend? Male or female?" Xu Sisi asked casually.

"What's wrong? Are you going to manage who I eat with now?"

"Hmph, I'm asking for Xiao Yi!"

As for Wang Xiaoyi... her eyes were glued entirely to Lin You. It had been almost three days since she saw Youyou, and having her head rubbed just now felt so nice~

Xu Sisi looked at Wang Xiaoyi's expression, huffing as she grabbed her hand and scurried toward the house.

Robot Xiao Yi!

After entering Xu Sisi's house, Lin You ate the egg tarts, stayed for another half hour, and then said goodbye and left.

Before he left, Wang Xiaoyi was reluctant to part. Regarding summer vacation plans, Wang Xiaoyi wanted to work a summer job at Sister Wen Chun's place to save up for future tuition and living expenses.

Therefore, even though the summer vacation was nearly three months long, she wouldn't have much time to spend with Lin You... After leaving Xu Sisi's house, Lin You rode his electric scooter swiftly toward the City South. One could only say... the little second-hand electric scooter had endured too much.

On the first floor of the shopping mall, in a milk tea shop, Xie Xingmeng was wearing a black dress, smiling as she looked at her phone. Lin You noticed this and quietly crept up behind her, only to discover she was looking at their chat history.

"Ahem!"

Xie Xingmeng quickly put away her phone and rapidly turned around. Seeing Lin You, her eyes looked slightly awkward. "When did you get here?"

"Just now." Lin You shrugged.

"You didn't see anything, did you?" Xie Xingmeng's gaze was sharp.

"I saw everything." Lin You's eyes were playful.

Xie Xingmeng turned her head away, a blush spreading across her face. "You should have said you didn't see anything right now..."

Lin You walked up and squeezed Xie Xingmeng's palm. "I am the City Young Master of Ancheng No. 7 Middle School, and I never lie."

Xie Xingmeng looked up at Lin You. "Then tell me, what is our relationship?"

"boyfriend and girlfriend."

Xie Xingmeng's eyes instantly widened. She quickly reached out and covered Lin You's mouth. "How could you... just say that out loud? You, you... take it back immediately!"

Muffling his voice through Xie Xingmeng's palm, Lin You buzzed, "Otherwise, why would Sister Xingyao invite me to eat barbecue? She must be treating me like her brother-in-law, right?"

Xie Xingmeng withdrew her hand, her face flushed. "It was me who wanted to eat barbecue with you..."

Lin You pretended to be disappointed. "I thought I had already received your family's approval."

Xie Xingmeng "got angry." "Isn't my approval enough?"

"It's enough, it's enough."

The two walked shoulder-to-shoulder toward the barbecue restaurant upstairs. Sister Xingyao wasn't at the restaurant today, but Lin You and Xie Xingmeng were still warmly welcomed by the staff.

The barbecue meal lasted nearly two hours. Lin You acted completely like a master, while Xie Xingmeng took on the task of grilling, attending to him meticulously.

After eating, Lin You covered his stomach and yawned widely. "Little Mengmeng, I stayed up all night playing games last night. Do you still want to do anything? I can accompany you for a bit, but I need to go back and sleep before dinner."

Hearing this, Xie Xingmeng felt guilty and quickly said, "Then hurry back and sleep. I thought you had gotten enough sleep before coming."

Lin You said casually, "If it's a meal with you, I'd come even if I hadn't slept for three days."

...After riding the electric scooter to take Xie Xingmeng home, Lin You quickly rushed home to take a shower and change clothes. After nearly two hours of barbecue, he was covered in the smell of grilled meat.

Ahem. Of course, Lin You wasn't trying to hide the fact that he ate barbecue at noon from Du Zhaoyu that evening. Rather... yes, exactly! A man dresses up for the one who appreciates him!

How could he go on a date with Xiao Yu'er smelling like that?

After showering, the time was 3:30 PM.

He was scheduled to meet Du Zhaoyu at five o'clock, eat first, and then watch the seven o'clock movie showing.

Why not watch a later showing?

Because the old man wouldn't allow it... Lin You set an alarm for an hour later, aiming to catch up on some sleep before his evening date.

An hour later, Lin You woke up feeling energized. If anyone else had gone through this much hassle, the stress might have been too much, but his body, modified by the terms, could handle it.

Shortly after, Lin You picked up Wang Xinxin, who had slept nearly the entire day, not far away. With ten minutes left until five o'clock, the two parked their vehicles and walked into the shopping mall near the plaza, where they spotted Du Zhaoyu and Su Wenwen standing together in the distance.

After the four met, Du Zhaoyu pinched Su Wenwen's cheek. "Wenwen, hurry up and go with Wang Xinxin."

Su Wenwen pouted. "Why aren't we even eating dinner together this time?"

Several times before, when they used Su Wenwen as a cover to go on dates, Lin You and Du Zhaoyu would eat dinner with the 'Double-Name Group' before splitting up.

Lin You said earnestly, "Su Wenwen, you are still little. You'll understand when you grow up."
