System: Master Your Life-Chapter 538 - 129: Furthering the Relationship with Shang Wanjun_2
Xu Lin: "Just say you have a boyfriend."
A man understands another man best. If a normal guy sees that a woman is taken, he’ll usually back off.
Of course, there are exceptions, but they’re rare.
"I told him, but he doesn’t believe me, and my mom even told him I don’t have a boyfriend."
Shang Wanjun paused: "Xu Lin, how about pretending to be the teacher’s boyfriend?"
"Did you read some novels? This trope was used years ago."
"No, but I watched a drama, ’Rent a Girlfriend for New Year’s’!"
Shang Wanjun covered her mouth and laughed.
"What’s that show?"
Born in 2007, Xu Lin really hadn’t heard of this drama. Although it was from a few years ago, there’s a significant generation gap between those born after 2005 and those before.
"It’s about the male lead being pressured by his family to marry, so he rents a girlfriend to bring home. Later, due to various situations, they unintentionally end up together as a real couple."
"That’s pretty cliché too."
Xu Lin realized.
"So can you pretend to be the teacher’s boyfriend?"
"That’s not possible, your mom has seen me too."
Xu Lin met Shang Wanjun’s mom in the cafeteria last year, and it was during military training. That night, Xu Lin was wearing a full military training outfit. If Shang Wanjun’s mom saw him, Xu Lin couldn’t even imagine the scene.
"No need to meet my mom, we just need to do some intimate acts. Besides, I’m not doing this for my mom to see."
"Intimate acts?"
Details, please!
Xu Lin got interested.
"We just take a selfie together."
"How to take it?"
Xu Lin asked right away.
Shang Wanjun’s face moved closer, pressing against Xu Lin’s face.
Then, using the front camera of her phone, she took a selfie.
Xu Lin thought that was enough.
But Shang Wanjun looked at the photo and said, "Something’s missing."
"What’s missing?"
"It looks fake."
Shang Wanjun: "So let’s take a more real one."
After she finished speaking, Shang Wanjun moved closer again. Like a dragonfly touching the water, just as she kissed Xu Lin’s cheek, Shang Wanjun took a selfie with her phone.
Xu Lin was a bit stunned, not expecting Shang Wanjun to go that far.
"Is this okay?"
"Xu Lin, sorry, teacher took advantage of you for a bit."
Why not take more advantage?
Xu Lin stayed silent, neither agreeing nor objecting.
Then, Xu Lin watched as Shang Wanjun said, "I’m going to send this picture to him, just blurring you a bit."
"Ok."
Shang Wanjun placed a big sunglasses sticker over his face.
Just like that, she sent it to the PhD student.
Shang Wanjun: "This is my boyfriend, please stop messaging me!"
Xu Lin watched her send the message and suddenly felt like his luscious black hair had turned blonde.
I’ve turned into a blondie!
Shang Wanjun finished sending the message and was about to click on the guy’s profile to block him.
Unexpectedly, the PhD student replied instantly.
"No!"
"No way!"
"How could you have a boyfriend so quickly?"
"Wanjun, I know you don’t like me now and want me to back off, but I believe that if you get to know me, you’ll see how good I am!"
Bzzz bzzz...
A video call from the other side came in.
Shang Wanjun immediately rejected it.
PhD student: "Who is this guy? Is he more successful than me? Does he have a car, a house? Is his job better than mine? Is his social status higher than mine? Is his education level higher than mine? Where did this guy come from? Wanjun, you’re just putting on a show for me, right? From the moment I saw you, I knew you weren’t a casual woman, or I wouldn’t have noticed you. I know you’re just trying to make me back off."
Shang Wanjun: ...
"What should we do?"
Shang Wanjun turned to look at Xu Lin.
"Sit on my lap."
"What for? Trying to take advantage of the teacher?"
"You took advantage of me just now, so let me take a little advantage, let’s just call it a value exchange."
Xu Lin: "Sit on my lap and give me the phone."
Shang Wanjun didn’t say anything, just got up and sat on Xu Lin’s lap.
Sitting sideways.
Xu Lin added, "Put your arms around my neck."
Shang Wanjun complied.
"Like this?"
Xu Lin wrapped his arms around her waist, adjusting her position slightly.
"Xu Lin, you’re taking way too much advantage."
"Well, at this point, physical contact is inevitable. Let’s just say, to put on a good show, we need to go all out and make him back off completely."
"Oh, oh."
"Hand me the phone."
Shang Wanjun handed it over.
Xu Lin grabbed the phone with his left hand and turned on the front camera, pointing it at the two of them.
Then, Xu Lin placed his right palm gently on the back of her head.
Before Shang Wanjun could react,
Xu Lin held the back of her head and kissed her directly.
This time on the lips.
Just now Shang Wanjun kissed his face, and she was sitting on Xu Lin’s lap, not rejecting Xu Lin touching her butt. So, Xu Lin kissing her lips directly was pushing boundaries, but reasonable.
A player is always closing in within controllable limits.
Mmm!
Shang Wanjun was taken aback for a moment.
At the same time, Xu Lin quickly snapped several photos.
Afterwards, Xu Lin turned off the phone.
He also let go of Shang Wanjun.
"Why suddenly stop?"
"What, still not enough acting?"
Xu Lin laughed.
"Enough."
Shang Wanjun was indeed a bit left wanting more.
"What’s your phone password?"
"2236."
Unexpectedly, Shang Wanjun actually gave out the password.
Xu Lin hadn’t expected her to say it.
He opened the phone, clicked on her WeChat, and then the Doctor’s contact.
Over the past minute, the Doctor had sent quite a few messages.
No need to work?
Right.
It’s already seven in the evening; doctors have long been off work.
Xu Lin clicked on the recent photos, selected the most appealing one, and sent it.
Original image.
In the picture, Shang Wanjun sat on Xu Lin, with Xu Lin holding the back of her head, kissing her.
Xu Lin didn’t touch up the image.
The internet speed was great.
It didn’t take long to send.
Moreover, Xu Lin added a message: "Bro, I’ve got this woman, stop wasting your effort, you can’t handle her."
Doctor: "Who are you?"
A series of angry messages followed.
Xu Lin added another message: "Who I am is none of your business, we’re going to get a room after dinner, please don’t disturb us."
"Block him?"
Shang Wanjun nodded.
"You block him."
Blocking was something Xu Lin didn’t do, most because it confirmed his bad boy persona.
"You’re pretty bad!"
Shang Wanjun said as she clicked to block and delete.
"You’re the same, you could’ve blocked him long ago. Don’t use Auntie as an excuse; your fate is yours to decide."
"Actually, the teacher was just teasing you," Shang Wanjun pretended to joke.
"Damn, still dare to mess with me, let’s see how I handle you!"
Xu Lin still wanted to kiss her, kiss her hard, with his hand not behaving either.
But Shang Wanjun playfully and nimbly slipped off Xu Lin and took two steps back.
"That’s it for today!"
Shang Wanjun added, "But thanks for today nonetheless!"
"Remember to ask me next time for this kind of thing, I’ll be at your service!"
Xu Lin also stood up.
"Wishful thinking, I’m not going on blind dates again, nor do I want to meet any men."
"What if Auntie insists again?"
"I won’t listen!"
"Really won’t listen?"
"Won’t listen!"
"Congratulations on passing the level."
"Passing what level?"
"First step to growing up, not listening to elders."
"Xu Lin, do you listen to your parents?"
"I always pretend to listen in front of them, but I never actually do, as long as it’s not a major issue, I ignore them."
"What’s a major issue?"
"Like petty theft or murder and arson, besides, I’m completely independent now, don’t need to listen to family or any elders."
"In that case, congratulations to you too, on becoming an independent young adult!"
"Just an adult, where’s the young adult part?"
[Table 15, your meal is ready!]
Just then, the restaurant broadcast sounded, finally it was their turn.
"Let’s go eat, it’s my treat, you can order whatever you like."
Shang Wanjun smiled faintly, "I’m really happy today!"
Seeing her happy, Xu Lin didn’t reply.
She walked ahead, holding her bag in front of her with both hands, walking with a bit of mischief.
Usually, Xu Lin considered her quite sophisticated, like a mature woman who’s been through a lot, seemingly calm in the face of a storm.
But Xu Lin now realized that Shang Wanjun was only 23, turning 24 soon.
She’s from the 2000s, born in 2002.
Many people graduate college around this time, just stepping into society.
Actually, Shang Wanjun is still a very young girl.
So, she still carries a hint of youthful mischief.
