Join the ServerFor the Chen Lin of the past, he was like most normal people.
Weekends were pleasant. He wished time would pass a little more slowly, and Monday would come a little later.
But for the Chen Lin of now, he wanted weekends to pass quickly and Monday to arrive sooner.
Because Yan and Shihan had become his “girlfriends,” he spent almost the entire weekend with them.
For Chen Lin, this kind of life was basically torture.
It was like a straight man being forced into prison, only to discover the warden was a total gay guy. It was just awful.
Even though he was being treated gently, his instincts still couldn’t accept being together with people he didn’t like in this way.
That comparison might be a bit exaggerated, but that’s how it felt.
The difficult weekend finally passed. On Monday morning, Yan did not bring Chen Lin breakfast.
Chen Lin already knew this. After all, Yan had told him on Saturday.
It seemed the sports festival at Yan’s school was coming up. As one of the student leads appointed by her teacher, Yan had to report to school early every morning for the time being.
Yan also invited Chen Lin to come visit her school when the time came.
Chen Lin agreed eagerly, but he had no intention of going.
After all, the sports festival was held during school hours. He could just use “heavy high school coursework” as an excuse and say he couldn’t easily take leave. That would easily get him out of it.
Better yet, Yan wouldn’t come to his house this Monday or Wednesday.
For Chen Lin, that was fantastic news.
With this good news to support him, Chen Lin felt he could force a smile through the torture of last weekend.
Lying in bed, Chen Lin opened his eyes and glanced toward the door.
The paper cup behind the door was still there. This little contraption told him that his room had not been opened.
That meant Yan really hadn’t come to his house this morning.
What pleasant news. Chen Lin stretched happily, put on his uniform, and opened the bedroom door.
Chen Lin’s smile froze the moment he opened the bedroom door.
Because Shihan was sitting properly on the sofa in Chen Lin’s house. Wearing her young lady’s school uniform, she was reading a book seriously, reviewing her lessons.
After all, Shihan had spent the entire weekend on Chen Lin.
To not fall behind in her studies, she had to catch up on other days.
Although this was very tiring for Shihan, she still did it gladly.
When he saw Shihan, Chen Lin pinched a piece of flesh on his left thigh with his left hand.
He knew his expression must be terrible right now, and he didn’t want Shihan to notice his foul mood. So he used the pain to distract himself and make his muscles relax.
“Shihan, why are you at my house?” Chen Lin asked with a fake smile.
Also, unlike with Yan, Chen Lin hadn’t even noticed when Shihan entered his house. She had made no sound at all, appearing like a ghost.
Shihan gave a warm smile. “Do you even need to ask? Of course I’m here to bring you breakfast in place of Yan. She specially asked me to. I had no reason to refuse, right?”
“Ah… is that so? Yan never mentioned it to me,” Chen Lin replied.
He had thought that with Yan busy at school, he could relax for a couple of days. Who knew Shihan would show up again. Chen Lin felt this was really painful. The lighthearted mood vanished in an instant.
“Yan was worried you wouldn’t eat breakfast on time, so I brought it to you personally. Happy?” Shihan asked.
“Ha… happy, of course I’m happy. Love you,” Chen Lin said awkwardly. To hide his embarrassment, he didn’t want Shihan to see his face, so he stepped forward and hugged Shihan, pulling her into his arms.
At first, Shihan might have been flustered by a sudden hug.
But now, Shihan just leaned into Chen Lin’s arms, content. Just as she had gotten used to his gentleness, Chen Lin felt that even though he was clearly a virgin, he acted like a non-virgin, not feeling at a loss after hugging a girl.
Chen Lin told himself in his mind that he was only treating Shihan like a little sister. Because he had no impure thoughts, no worldly desires, he wouldn’t blush or have a racing heart.
Shihan’s breakfast for Chen Lin was very simple: a beef sandwich, a glass of milk, and a big banana.
The beef sandwich was made by Shihan herself.
“Is it good?” Shihan asked Chen Lin, who was wolfing it down.
“Very good,” Chen Lin answered perfunctorily. Actually, he thought the sandwich tasted about average.
After breakfast, Chen Lin watched Shihan leave in her car, then walked toward his own school.
Shihan had actually asked Chen Lin if he wanted a ride to school in her car.
Naturally, he immediately refused such a kind offer. He didn’t want to become the center of attention by arriving at school in a luxury car.
More importantly, Senior Meiyue also attended Chen Lin’s high school.
Chen Lin really, really didn’t want Meiyue to know that he had become too close with her younger sister.
Because once Meiyue found out, Chen Lin didn’t know how he would face her in the future.
Even now, Chen Lin still had a secret crush on Meiyue. That feeling had never changed.
The terrible situation he was in now was not something he had chosen.
So Chen Lin at least didn’t want Meiyue to know about it.
Passing through the crowded school gate, Chen Lin entered the classroom and sat at his seat.
He glanced at Jin Jie’s seat. Because he had arrived early again today, Jin Jie hadn’t come to the classroom yet.
Chen Lin had actually always been very concerned about whether Liying had truly left his life.
Because of that, he hoped that this weekend, Liying would not appear beside Jin Jie because of him again.
But whether things would go as he wished, he would only know once Jin Jie showed up.
