Chapter 184 Reply
Lin Jie wasn't thinking like that, he just wanted to focus on his studies, find a reliable profession, and preferably break free from his father's control and carve out his own world.
Plus, he had witnessed the consumer power of women through Qin Xiaoxu, thinking if he married someone like Qin Xiaoxu in the future, wouldn't his modest savings be blown through to bankruptcy??
So now he had to find a way to make more money.
"Don't be so quick to deny it, I think that Qin Xiaoxu is quite nice, pretty, and has a good personality!"
"I pretended to be in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with her, just to shut our parents up. I saw she was enjoying herself, how could she possibly like me?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Hao didn't say much, just slurped a mouthful of instant noodles and said, "Don't think like that. Some women are insincere with their words, maybe she sees you as a good catch. And don't think so poorly of yourself!"
Lin Jie reflected carefully before responding, "Could she really have taken a liking to me? But indeed, she did invite me to the entrance of her place earlier, asking me to take her upstairs!"
At these words, Lin Hao suddenly widened his eyes and exclaimed, "Yes, yes, yes, then why did you come back? She actually invited you upstairs; there must be something going on."
"Are you out of your mind? She just felt that you needed someone to accompany her up, and weren't you the one who told me you've been waiting at home for a long time? Of course, I declined and let her go back by herself."
Lin Jie argued with conviction. Hearing this, Lin Hao slapped his forehead, "Then it looks like I've let you down, she might be mad at you now."
"Don't worry, she definitely won't be mad. She said before that she has no expectations of me, so why would she be mad at me?"
Lin Jie spoke nonchalantly, while Lin Hao clicked his tongue and said, "Brother, it seems I owe you one this time. Rest assured, I'll definitely be a good wingman for you from now on."
Upon hearing this, Lin Jie patted his hand and said, "You don't need to help me, it's unnecessary."
After finishing his statement, Lin Jie didn't dwell on the matter and went straight back to eating his instant noodles.
Meanwhile, Qin Xiaoxu had arrived home. After freshening up, she lay down on the bed. Having eaten too much today, she took out her phone intending to scroll through videos but received a message instead.
Upon opening it, it was from Lin Jie: Hurry up and come play the game!!
Seeing these words, Qin Xiaoxu couldn't help but roll her eyes. This Lin Jie really left her speechless, not caring about anything other than playing that damn game. However, having nothing else to do, Qin Xiaoxu tapped into the gaming interface and played for a while by herself.
She was so annoyed that she didn't even want to team up with Lin Jie; she could see that Lin Jie was online but when he greeted her, she ignored him, leaving Lin Jie somewhat baffled.
After playing for a bit, Qin Xiaoxu, feeling tired, closed the game interface and looked at the unanswered message. She then typed a line and sent it.
At this moment, Lin Jie received the message and took a glance.
"Other than asking me to play games with you, what else can you do!"
Seeing these words, Lin Jie scratched his head in a panic, unsure of how to reply.
Meanwhile, Lin Hao stood beside Lin Jie and, upon seeing the message from Qin Xiaoxu, said, "Oh my god, Qin Xiaoxu messaged you, you need to reply to her fast!"
Hearing this, Lin Jie couldn't help but scratch his head, saying somewhat helplessly, "I don't know how to reply to her."
Seeing Lin Jie's troubled expression, Lin Hao knew that Lin Jie still hadn't made up his mind.
"So what exactly do you think? Look, she already said that to you, maybe what she means indirectly is that she's asking which is more important to you, the game or her. I think she definitely has feelings for you. You can't always refuse to show your feelings. If you continue like this, there will certainly be no progress with her."
Upon hearing this, Lin Jie also lowered his head and said, "I'm also not sure what I think right now. Originally, I pretended to be her boyfriend just to shut my parents up, and when I buy her things, my dad would even give me money and fully support it. If I can use it to make my dad give me more money, then later on I can use the money to do what I really want to do."
Hearing this, Lin Hao replied, "Then what do you want to do? In the past, you've also played games with several girls, but I've noticed you aren't nearly as enthusiastic with other girls. When those girls were performing poorly in games, you would often grumble about them. But now, look at you with Qin Xiaoxu—she's a girl too, but your attitude towards her is clearly different from the others."
"Having spent so much time together, of course I'd be friendlier to her," he said.
"Then, would you be jealous? If she got too close to other guys!"
At that question, Lin Jie's brows immediately furrowed, and thinking about today's incident involving Lin Zhiyuan, he said with a frown, "Of course! Those trashy guys have no good intentions. How could I possibly let her be bullied by them!"
"That's right, you must have feelings for her, otherwise you wouldn't care so much about who she's with or whether she might be bullied!"
The two of them kept chattering non-stop, and at this time, Qin Xiaoxu, with her phone in hand, still hadn't received a reply, causing her to frown in frustration.
This guy couldn't really be planning to ignore me, could he!
Qin Xiaoxu didn't have that much patience, and feeling somewhat upset, she quickly typed a line of text on her phone.
"If you're not going to talk, then don't play with me anymore."
Lin Jie was still talking when he noticed his phone screen light up, and after seeing the message Qin Xiaoxu sent, he said, "Look, she clearly has no interest in me. She doesn't even want to play games with me anymore; she obviously doesn't like me."
Upon hearing this, Lin Hao slapped him on the head and said, "Are you an idiot? She's obviously angry. You've been here talking endlessly with me and haven't thought about replying to her because you don't know how! Naturally, the person waiting on the other end for a message would be unhappy. You need to reply to her now, quickly. If you don't reply soon, she might really block you." Enjoy new stories from empire
Looking at Lin Jie's flustered state, Lin Hao felt somewhat exasperated by his stupidity and said, "Women can be terrifying when they get angry. They're capable of anything. If you don't reply now, you'll end up on her blacklist."
Hearing this, Lin Jie looked at Lin Hao with a mixture of doubt and belief.
"You haven't had many relationships yourself, so how come you understand so well? I don't even know if she's really angry, so how can you be so sure she is?"
Hearing this, Lin Hao couldn't help but laugh.
"Although I haven't dated much, at least I have more experience than you. Hurry up and reply!"
"But how should I reply?"
"Just say everything that you want to say."
