System: Master Your Life-Chapter 478 - 110: Praise from the Future Mother-in-Law_3
Chi Linyue was curious, "Let me see what your house looks like?"
"Ok."
Xu Lin switched to the rear camera, showing Chi Linyue around the room.
"I thought your room would be messy, but I didn’t expect it to be so clean and tidy, and everything is well-organized. My brother’s room used to be very messy, only got a little better after he was with my sister-in-law."
"That’s a bit stereotypical. Some guys are very clean and tidy, and I care about hygiene and comfort in the environment."
"That’s pretty good, let’s see other places."
"Is this a gym?"
"Yeah, I work out here."
"No wonder, you have a great body."
Chi Linyue noticed a barbell with a rope attached to it, "What’s this?"
"It’s for training my brother, twenty kilos!"
"Oh, come on!"
Chi Linyue suddenly understood what Xu Lin meant and blushed, "What the heck?"
"You haven’t tried how strong I am, otherwise I guarantee you’ll never forget."
"Then come over here, let me try!"
Chi Linyue covered her mouth and laughed.
"Really?"
"Really!"
"Forget it, traveling a long way just to sleep with you isn’t worth it. How about you parachute in?"
"Dream on!"
Big Sister was just joking, and Xu Lin knew it, so he continued playing along.
Actually, when a girl tells dirty jokes with you, it shows she’s interested or even likes you.
Ladies are often just a facade. Boys are lecherous, why wouldn’t girls be? You shouldn’t have too many illusions about them.
Xu Lin and Chi Linyue video called for more than half an hour, then she went to do other things.
Xu Lin finished the script but didn’t know what to do next.
Playing games seemed uninteresting.
It seems like he’s quit gaming now.
"Life is lonely like snow!"
Xu Lin couldn’t help but exclaim, with nothing else to do, he drove out for a spin.
At around five, Xu Lin arrived at the market near home, planning to buy ingredients and cook dinner himself.
It was lucky that he ran into Lin Yajing and Yu Xinyan at the market.
"Xu Lin!"
Yu Xinyan saw Xu Lin immediately and greeted him.
Xu Lin walked over, eagerly, "Auntie, what’s for dinner tonight?"
"Xu Lin, you’re coming to my house for dinner?" Yu Xinyan asked.
"If Auntie agrees, I’ll go up."
"Mom, we’ll need an extra pair of chopsticks tonight!"
Yu Xinyan shook Lin Yajing’s left hand.
"Xu Lin, come to our house for dinner!"
Lin Yajing couldn’t refuse, it was just an extra pair of chopsticks.
"Thank you, Auntie!"
Just past six, Xu Lin went back with Xinyan and her mom and saw Yu Jianhua again.
"Why are you here again?"
Yu Jianhua noticed Xu Lin follow the mother and daughter.
"Uncle, I was just missing you!"
"Get out! You’re annoying!"
Yu Jianhua looked fed up.
Xu Lin sat down, today’s seat the same as the last time.
Xu Lin was now used to it, he took a disposable cup from under the coffee table and poured himself a cup of Tieguanyin.
"Uncle, is this premium Tieguanyin?"
Xu Lin savored it.
"Bought from the supermarket, you think I accept bribes? Premium Tieguanyin."
"Good thing I’m not an official, otherwise I’d likely be a big shot in corruption, engaging in power-money exchanges, power-color exchanges!"
"If you were an official, I’d be the first to keep an eye on you, and deal with you if anything’s wrong!"
"Uncle, drink tea."
"Hmph."
Yu Jianhua took a sip of tea, "Yanyan said she’s giving a talk at her alma mater tomorrow, did you know?"
"Dad, it’s the day after tomorrow!" Yu Xinyan corrected.
"Cough, the day after tomorrow. Dad forgot."
Yu Jianhua’s old face turned red.
"What’s the talk about?"
"It’s about outstanding graduates returning to give a talk to senior students about to take the college entrance exam, discussing study methods, the beauty of university life, to motivate senior students?" Yu Jianhua looked at his daughter, unsure.
Xu Lin said, "Basically, to pump up the seniors, I get that."
"Why so blunt?"
Yu Jianhua felt Xu Lin was a bit of a killjoy.
Yu Xinyan asked, "Xu Lin, are you going back to high school the day after tomorrow?"
"I’ll drive you there."
"Yeah! Then take me!"
Yu Xinyan was instantly delighted.
Yu Jianhua saw it, not knowing what to say. His daughter was all over Xu Lin, and he couldn’t help it.
However, this boy now has a girlfriend.
The old father was also helpless.
"Haven’t seen you recently, what are you up to at home?"
Yu Jianhua decided to change the topic.
"Been writing scripts lately."
"Scripts? Didn’t you write novels before?"
"I’ve transitioned. My novel’s adapted drama will air this March, starring a big celebrity as my female lead."
"Which big celebrity?"
"Dilraba, do you know her?"
"I think I’ve heard." Yu Jianhua thought for a while. He doesn’t watch entertainment dramas or follow entertainment, doesn’t even know who Dilraba is. At home, what he watches most are news shows like the Evening News.
"Dilraba is a big star from Western Jiang, very beautiful, Western Jiang beauties have distinctive features."
Lin Yajing rarely chimed in, "Xu Lin, your novel has been adapted to a drama?"
"Yes, I sold the film rights."
"Mom, Xu Lin’s novel sold its rights for a billion last year!"
Yu Xinyan raised one finger.
"Cough!"
Yu Jianhua almost spat out his tea, though he choked.
"A billion-dollar rights?"
Lin Yajing was somewhat surprised, thought her daughter was exaggerating, but realized she wouldn’t lie about it.
Xu Lin calmly said, "It isn’t actually a billion, half goes to the website, leaving me with fifty million. After paying twenty percent tax, it’s just forty million."
"Wasn’t it trending before, my colleagues discussed a billion-dollar rights."
Lin Yajing was curious.
"Yeah, probably what you heard."
"Mom, this one!"
Yu Xinyan opened her phone, showing her mom Xu Lin’s novel.
Lin Yajing mostly reads physical books, preferring literary works. Xu Lin’s odd book title didn’t appeal to her at first glance.
"This book makes so much money?" Lin Yajing was still surprised.
Xu Lin: "It was quite popular before, and since the market response was good, it sold high." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
"That’s impressive!"
Xu Lin received generous praise from his future mother-in-law.
But Lin Yajing, having a high-ranking husband, remained composed.
If she were any other woman, Xu Lin’s taking out a cigarette would probably prompt her to light it for him.
Moreover, Lin Yajing reads a lot. Women who read generally have a calm heart, not easily disturbed by external factors.
Quickly, the mother and daughter went into the kitchen to start cooking.
Xu Lin glanced at Yu Jianhua, seeing him open his novel.
"Don’t bother, this kind of web novel isn’t for middle-aged men like you."
"Get lost!"
Yu Jianhua skimmed three Chapters and simply couldn’t keep going.
The writing was fine, but thought is age-bounded; it’s hard to accept new things at that age.
Middle-aged people generally have more static thinking.
Yu Jianhua reading Xu Lin’s novel was like asking him to play anime games or watch anime shows.
"I feel I can’t read it."
Yu Jianhua closed his phone and shook his head.
"That’s because you’re old, it’s normal."
Xu Lin teased.
"Hey, maybe I really am old."
Unexpectedly, Yu Jianhua sighed, lamenting how time waits for no one.
When one reaches middle age, they experience changes.
Yu Jianhua felt he was getting older.
