The School Beauty Became My Live-in Maid to Pay Off Her Debts-Chapter 202: Caution is the Parent of Safety

"So what exactly is the matter, why all the secrecy?"

Early the next morning, Lin Shuang met Yang Deyou at a breakfast shop near his home.

This good brother had called him in the middle of last night, hemming and hawing without getting to the point, and finally asked him out for breakfast.

Holding a bowl of crispy pork with meatballs and paired with crispy buttered bread strips, Lin Shuang contentedly sipped his soup.

"Mmm~ Food tastes better when it’s a treat, feels even more delicious than usual!"

Yang Deyou sat across from him, scratching his elbow, "Lin Dasha, you seem pretty busy these days."

Lin Shuang swallowed a bite of crispy pork soaked in soup, "Indeed, I am swamped with responsibilities. If it weren’t for you treating me today, I really wouldn’t have the time to come here~"

After all, there are so many girls to attend to in a day! Can’t divide myself any further!

— When he got home last night, Lin Shuang was almost "arrested" by the little maid in his house. Thankfully, he went straight into the bathroom for a bath as soon as he got home.

He couldn’t let the little maid smell Teacher Xia on him.

Otherwise, wouldn’t Teacher Xia’s image in Tong Yao’s heart completely collapse?

Ah, all for the sake of protecting Teacher Xia.

Lin Shuang thought of how considerately he had acted.

"It’s about Fu Wenxue, right? For the sake of this luxurious breakfast, I’m not against giving you some advice."

Lin Shuang soaked the crispy bread strips in his soup while glancing at the still hesitating Yang Deyou.

"But if you want me to crossdress pretending to be your girlfriend to provoke Fu Wenxue into confessing... that’ll cost extra."

Yang Deyou’s hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly.

"Come on, don’t joke, Lin Dasha... Just help me out, does Wenxue have some feelings for me?"

Now it was Lin Shuang’s turn to freeze with his chopsticks in hand.

"Huh?"

Lin Shuang thought their story would have progressed to the confession stage by now.

Yet, here was Yang Deyou, still uncertain whether Fu Wenxue had any feelings for him?

...

"How could Yang Deyou be so dense!"

At the same time, in the dormitory at Huai City University Art College, Fu Wenxue was lamenting to Su Wan.

Su Wan, standing in front of the mirror and brushing her teeth, commented, "I think you’re both quite dense..."

"How am I dense! I’ve already been proactive enough!"

"Just confess if you like him. What’s with this all this spy-game, cryptic communication? All guessing games?"

Su Wan thought to herself that she had gone straight for the kiss in her case! All in one go!

"Direct confession?"

Fu Wenxue seemed dispirited, "What if he doesn’t feel the same way?"

"Look at this, Wenxue, do you honestly believe if I told you he doesn’t like you?"

...

"Deyou, if I told you she isn’t interested in you, would you believe that?"

"There is some interest... but I’m afraid it’s one of life’s great illusions..."

Yang Deyou scratched his elbow again, "And plus, Wenxue is such a great girl, would she really like me?"

Lin Shuang, frustrated with his friend, poked him with the back end of his chopsticks.

"You, apart from being a bit simple, are pretty good in other aspects, and you look decent too, even though not as good as me."

"I’ll take it as a compliment from you, Lin Dasha..."

"Let’s put aside whether Fu Wenxue likes you or not for now, first tell me, do you like her?"

This time, Yang Deyou answered quickly.

"I like her."

"Then go and confess if you like her! Just do it!"

Why mention liking her if you don’t dare to confess? Waiting to regret it years later?

Lin Shuang banged his bowl on the table, making a "dong" sound, heralding Yang Deyou’s charge forward.

Deyou was still somewhat conflicted, "Should we develop our feelings a bit more first..."

"You buy the ticket before you board the train, confess first then slowly develop!"

"That... kinda makes sense?"

"Of course, it makes sense! Charge forward directly, and when it works out, remember to treat me to a good meal."

Lin Shuang thought for sure that meal was in the bag, as Fu Wenxue must be so anxious by now that if Deyou doesn’t confess soon, she’d do it herself.

It seemed like Deyou finally made up his mind, "Then I... am charging!"

Lin Shuang picked up his soup bowl and clinked it with Deyou’s, treating it as a toast, "Charge! Absolutely conquer it!"

He patted Deyou on the shoulder again, "Alright, I’ve passed on the tactics to you, go pay and help me pack two portions to take away."

"Aren’t you full yet? Should I add more?"

"No, it’s for Wanwan and Lingmeng."

"Ah?"

Deyou was stunned, "Big Lin, you... be careful not to capsize."

"What capsize! What are you talking about! I’m solid! Braving the winds and waves!"

That’s what he said, but ten minutes later, in the "Green Plum" milk tea shop, seeing Wanwan and Lingmeng looking at him together, two beautiful girls.

Lin Shuang was still a bit nervous.

Today Lingmeng didn’t take a paid leave, and Master Lin was quite gentle—he didn’t really punish her so much she couldn’t work.

"None of you have eaten, right? Today’s treat is on the boss—Huai City’s specialty old shop lamb soup~"

Lin Shuang put down the two portions of soup on the table, Su Wan picked up one and tilted her chin up at him before turning upstairs.

The meaning was clear: elbow! Follow your lady into the room!

Into the room then! Who’s afraid of whom!

Before leaving, Lin Shuang pinched Lingmeng’s little hand under the counter.

Lingmeng gently pinched back: Master, you better come back alive!

Behind him, Deyou also handed a bowl of lamb soup to Fu Wenxue.

He smiled warmly, "Wenxue, this one’s delicious."

"Um... thank you, Deyou."

As they received the lamb soup, their eyes met for a moment before quickly diverting.

They gazed in different directions, yet they were thinking about the same thing: When to confess...

In the upstairs room, seeing Lin Shuang walk in, Su Wan curled her lips.

"Conquered your little apprentice?"

Lin Shuang stood at attention, "Reporting to Wanwan, conquest accomplished!"

Su Wan laughed in exasperation, hands on hips, "Big fool Lin? Feeling proud, aren’t you?"

Lin Shuang quickly moved close and sat beside her, attentively starting to massage her legs.

"Wanwan, last time wasn’t it you who ordered me to quickly add Little Lingmeng to our luxurious lunch?"

Su Wan raised her voice, transforming into Su Daiyu, "Hearing brother say this, could it be my fault then?"

Lin Shuang’s eyes lit up, "Wanwan sister! Call me ’big brother’ again?"

"Dream on!"

Su Wan pulled over the bowl of lamb soup, "Feed me!"

"Alright, Wanwan!"

Lin Shuang skillfully began feeding his dearest childhood friend. frёewebηovel.cѳm

"Hmm... this place is really delicious, haven’t been here with you for a long time."

"That’s why I packed it for you."

Lin Shuang fed her a beef meatball, smiling and asked, "Hmm? Is the interrogation over?"

Is that it? Increase the intensity!

"Big fool Lin! Just say if you’re itching for a beating!"

Su Wan disdainfully stomped on him with her high-heel wrapped in black stockings.

"That feels better!"
