Xia Lin didn't have many belongings. He mainly just needed to bring his clothes and books. Other miscellaneous items like toiletries and his laptop didn't take up much space. There was no way he was going to take his bed and cabinets with him! Since Xiao Jinyu had already said in advance that his room was ready and he could move in directly.
Seeing Xia Lin looking so ill - at ease in the passenger seat, Xiao Jinyu comforted him, "In the place I live, besides the servants, I'm the only one. Occasionally, my subordinates will come over, but you don't need to pay attention to them."
Xia Lin was taken aback for a moment. He looked at Xiao Jinyu with a smile in his eyes and said, "Thank you."
"Thank me for what?"
Xia Lin scratched his head shyly. "I just think Mr. Xiao is really gentle. You've been so kind to me. I... I'm really happy."
Xiao Jinyu's eyes flickered for a moment. Soon, he pretended nothing had happened and continued driving. He just said, "You can call me by my name directly."
"Ah? Is that okay?"
"Sure. I'm not much older than you, only about ten years. We're of the same generation. From now on, you can think of me as your elder brother?"
When Xia Lin heard this, he was happy at first, but then he felt a bit conflicted. According to the rules of the previous world, even though the system didn't emphasize it specifically, Xia Lin knew that he would definitely have to increase Xiao Jinyu's affection value in the future. So, he just couldn't think of Xiao Jinyu as his elder brother!
"Jinyu, can I just call you Jinyu from now on?" He didn't want to add the word "ge" (elder brother) after it at all.
Xiao Jinyu nodded, trying hard to ignore the strange feeling that welled up in his heart when Xia Lin called him "Jinyu".
Finally, the small truck drove into a manor. The manor was huge, with a garden, a parking lot, a tennis court, and so on. It was not only large in area, but also beautifully decorated everywhere.
Sure enough, Xiao Jinyu must be extremely rich. You know, the city they lived in was a first - tier city by Earth's standards. A manor of this size and a three - story villa like this in a first - tier city would cost a fortune!
After Xiao Jinyu parked the car in the parking lot, six servants, three men and three women in black - and - white uniforms, were already waiting there. They quickly and efficiently picked up Xia Lin's things and followed behind Xiao Jinyu and Xia Lin.
When they got to the villa, a middle - aged man walked up to Xia Lin, bowed gracefully, and said, "Mr. Xia Lin, hello. Please allow me to show you your room first."
"Okay." Since he had been a queen for a few years in his previous life, he didn't feel uncomfortable being served by servants.
Xia Lin followed this middle - aged man who seemed to be the butler up to the second floor. His room was very close to Xiao Jinyu's.
"Mr. Xia, this is your room. The lighting is very good, and you can enjoy the view of the garden through the window. This door leads to the bathroom and the shower room. This is the balcony, and this is your study. By the way, Mr. Xia, if you need anything, you can call on this landline to tell the servants. Whether you want to have a midnight snack or need the servants to buy something for you, it's all okay. Oh, and..."
The butler rambled on about a lot of things. Xia Lin listened patiently, thinking that the life of the rich was really exquisite.
After the butler finished speaking, just before leaving, he added, "Lunch is expected to be served in about an hour. Mr. Xia can also go downstairs earlier to enjoy some fruits before the meal."
