I Really Didn’t Want to Increase My Favorability!

Chapter 148



Chapter 148

But when I opened the QQ profile and took a glance, the other party had hidden her address and such, but the space wasn’t restricted, so browsing was unrestricted.

However, there weren’t any photos posted in the space either. The only few pictures were of the Nine-Dragon Pagoda. It seems she took them herself, not snatched from the internet.

But the photos weren’t taken in recent years because five years ago, the Nine-Dragon Pagoda underwent renovation, and there was new decoration added around the top of the tower.

But there’s not a trace of decoration in this photo, so it must have been taken at least 5 years ago.

With curiosity, he opened the chat box again.

“Um, just took a glance at your profile picture. Xing Mimi, are you from Linshui?”

But the other party didn’t respond as quickly as before, so Xu Lin closed the chat first and started editing again.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Qin Yunhe and Su Qingwan sat in a small shop, looking at the night outside, drinking coffee, and chatting.

“You worked overtime today. It’s almost 9 o’clock, did you just get off work?”

“Mhmm.”

Su Qingwan glanced at Qin Yunhe opposite, sipping coffee delicately and occasionally checking her phone, looking somewhat desolate.

Could it be about her boyfriend? She got excited when she saw she had a fake one, so she found a real one?

But to be honest, she and Qin Yunhe have known each other for so long, and she has never been into any of these things, whether it’s romantic movies or actual relationships.

Many classmates and friends got married and showed affection, but she remained indifferent, except when it came to her own romantic matters.

She typically has a tomboyish style, not that she can’t dress up or look cute and lovely.

However, her approach to things is very decisive and assertive, perhaps influenced by her personality or profession.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

Qin Yunhe felt uneasy under her best friend’s gaze for half a minute.

Could Xu Lin have let something slip?

No, he’s usually tight-lipped, even our recent conversations haven’t been too revealing.

But seriously, she has entrusted her most precious thing to him, and he can’t even spare a moment to be with her, to care for her.

Although she’s been busy lately and genuinely hasn’t had time to hang out.

“I just feel like, are you dating someone?”

“Cough! Why would you say that?”

“It’s just that I’ve noticed you’ve been constantly checking your phone, like you’re waiting for a message or something? And also, your expression has softened, you look prettier.”

“I wasn’t pretty to begin with.”

“Well, let’s just say… it’s different.”

Actually, Su Qingwan didn’t know what she was saying, but her demeanor and feeling were indeed different.

Qin Yunhe wanted to laugh a little, but was a bit shy. Does that kind of thing really change a person’s demeanor?

Just as she was about to cough to change the topic, she felt a bit annoyed again. Even if she said she didn’t want him to take responsibility, he shouldn’t avoid her completely!

Hug her, talk to her… Stupid man!

But after muttering to herself, she felt a lot lighter and casually put her phone back in her pocket.

“Don’t you have a boyfriend? So don’t show off to me. I haven’t seen Xu Lin lately?”

“He’s probably just busy,” Su Qingwan replied cautiously, even though she saw him at school every day.

“Busy, huh? By the way, do you know sister Ji Yun? Her grades are very good, right?”

“Hmm, she is the first in our class.”

“What about the second?”

Qin Yunhe took a sip of coffee. Seeing her friend looking a bit embarrassed, she wanted to laugh, but managed to hold it in.

Am I being a bit naughty? Maybe I shouldn’t tease her anymore, it wouldn’t be good if she gets upset.

At this moment, the sound of raindrops pattering against the window was heard.

They both looked outside and saw many pedestrians rushing towards the shop’s entrance.

“Let’s go, while the rain isn’t too heavy. I’ll walk you back. According to the weather forecast, there’s going to be heavy rain later.”

“Okay, thank you, Wanwan.”

Around 10 o’clock, Xu Lin had finished editing completely, watching the final cut once over. He believed it was the best he could personally achieve.

Outside the window, there was the sound of heavy rain pouring down, and he didn’t know when it had started. Occasionally, there was a loud clap of thunder.

“Still no reply? Maybe she just doesn’t want to expose her personal information,” Xu Lin glanced at his phone, seeing no response.

Well, let’s just post this video and call it a night; there’s class tomorrow.

After a few minutes, he uploaded the video to the small platform. Seeing the “under review” notice, to be honest, this made him more nervous than posting a novel.

But thinking of novels, he remembered that he hadn’t published a new chapter yet.

Fortunately, it was already written, so he could just publish it. But then he realized he has run out of drafts.

After posting the chapter, the review process has passed, but the number of views are still a disappointing zero.

“Time to sleep!”

He shutting down his computer, he flopped onto the bed. He doesn’t even want to take a shower now, he just wants to sleep.

But the next moment, he suddenly remembered something. He hastily sat up, took out his phone, and opened WeChat.

“I almost forgot to say goodnight to my wife Qin.”

Since the last time they parted, they haven’t met again, only contacting each other on WeChat.

It’s not that they have entered an awkward phase, but both of them are simply busy.

He’s studying, writing, and dealing with the video issues on top of that, while Qin Yunhe has been busy with that fraud case for several days and then started working overtime.

However, in order not to appear indifferent or uncaring towards the other party, he insisted on sending a goodnight message to her every evening.

Opening WeChat, he sent a heartfelt goodnight message. Xu Lin closed his eyes, feeling drowsy as he drifted off to sleep.

But the next moment, a voice call came through on WeChat. Glancing at it, he quickly answered, seeing it’s from Qin Yunhe.

“Yunhe, haven’t you slept yet?”

“No, just got back half an hour ago after having some coffee and snacks with your girlfriend.”

“Are you working overtime? You must be tired.” Xu Lin automatically ignored the mention of girlfriend in her words.

After all, it’s something he set for himself, that is, when the two of them were chatting, he would not mention other girls.

“Well, why are you still a student? When I have a day off, you’re at school. And when you’re off today, I have to work overtime.”

“Then when you have a day off, I can take a day off and take you out to play?”

To be honest, not seeing Qin Yunhe for so many days, he really miss her. It’s not about indulging in pleasures, but because of a kind of heavy responsibility. It’s impossible not to miss the girl who gave you all of herself.

Especially after all these days without seeing her, he had been feeling guilty. He should have gone to her police station before heading home today and checked on her.

“No, don’t worry, don’t let it affect your studies. Were you busy with that shoot again today?”

“Yeah.”

“After you’re done, make sure to rest early, don’t overwork yourself. Take it easy.”

“Well, by the way, do you want to have snacks in the evening?”

“Um~ I want to eat Xue Meiniang. I saw it on the road just now, but it was raining heavily, so I didn’t go to buy it.”

“Oh, then I’ll buy some for you in a couple of days and send it over to you.”

“Okay, but buy a bit more, otherwise it won’t be enough to share with my colleagues.”

“Okay.”

“Alright, you stinky kid, goodnight.”

“Goodnight.”

Hanging up the voice call, Qin Yunhe stared at the chat interface, clenching her fists.

Listening to the thunder outside, feeling the solitude of the room, she suddenly felt lonely.

Previously, even when she was alone, she didn’t feel this way. Like Wanwan said, has she really changed…?

Alright, I’ll watch TV for a while since I’m off duty tomorrow anyway. There’s a good variety show on.

Just as she settled on the couch and watched for less than half an hour, she heard urgent knocking on the door. She got up and walked over, peeking through the peephole.

A familiar face appeared, but she doubted if she was seeing things.

“Xu Lin? How come you’re here?”

She hurriedly opened the door, only to see Xu Lin standing there, his hair matted down, dripping with water, his clothes soaked through!

“You didn’t even bring an umbrella. If you had something to discuss, a phone call would have sufficed…”

She hurried to the bathroom and grabbed a towel, then wiped his head.

Xu Lin smiled at her, like a little fool, and took out a bag from his pocket, inside it were two small boxes.

“Aren’t you going to eat Xue Meiniang?”

When Xu Lin said this, Qin Yunhe’s eyes instantly became moist. She punched him, but there was a smile on her face.

“You fool… I was just kidding! Don’t take it seriously, really… You’re such a fool! What if you catch a cold?!”

“Whatever you say, I’ll do it. Not just now, but also in the future. I’ll always be able to run to you.”

But when I opened the QQ profile and took a glance, the other party had hidden her address and such, but the space wasn’t restricted, so browsing was unrestricted.

However, there weren’t any photos posted in the space either. The only few pictures were of the Nine-Dragon Pagoda. It seems she took them herself, not snatched from the internet.
