Jiang Minghuai was truly an extremely enthusiastic and easy - going person. Although he talked a bit too much and seemed like a chatterbox, he was actually a nice guy. However, there was one thing. Whenever Xia Lin talked to Jiang Minghuai, he could feel Xiao Jinyu's gaze on him from time to time. How strange! Did Xiao Jinyu not like it when he got along with Jiang Minghuai? Why? It couldn't be that he was jealous, could it? With just a dozen points of affection value, it shouldn't reach the level of jealousy, right?
Well, Xia Lin was really wrong this time. Xiao Jinyu was indeed jealous. Why was Xia Lin so distant from him now? It always felt like there was a gap between them. But he got along so comfortably with that brat Jiang Minghuai!
Without delving into why he cared so much about Xia Lin's distance or thinking about whether he was jealous, Xiao Jinyu just knew that he was very unhappy.
But didn't either of them notice that he was in a bad mood? What Xiao Jinyu didn't know was that he always had a poker - face, with deep and intense eyes, exuding the aura of a big shot. Seeing him like this and thinking about his identity as a big shot in both the white and black worlds, Xia Lin admired him even more. He would never think that such a big shot had some... childish thoughts! It could only be said that Xiao Jinyu's appearance was too deceptive!
The next day, Xiao Jinyu sent Jiang Minghuai back, with the excuse that now that he was the boss, he should be more serious about his work.
Jiang Minghuai thought that his elder brother was just jealous that he had a great chat with his sister - in - law while he couldn't even get a word in.
"If you want to get closer to sister - in - law, you have to be more proactive, elder brother. I think sister - in - law also has feelings for you."
Originally impatient, Xiao Jinyu pretended to be nonchalant after hearing the second half of Jiang Minghuai's words and asked, "Xia Lin has feelings for me? You're just making wild guesses, aren't you?"
Hearing this, Jiang Minghuai was naturally unhappy. "I'm not making wild guesses. I observed carefully at the dinner table today. Sister - in - law always stole glances at you. If that's not love, what is it? Anyway, elder brother, if you really have feelings for her, just go for it!"
Jiang Minghuai dodged the kick from Xiao Jinyu, got into his car, and drove away.
When Xiao Jinyu got back, Xia Lin was just coming downstairs. Seeing him, Xia Lin said, "Jinyu, I'll be eating out both for lunch and dinner tomorrow."
Xiao Jinyu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why?"
"Our class is having a reunion tomorrow, and the teacher will also attend. So I won't be able to have meals at home for lunch and dinner."
"Alright then. I'll tell the kitchen."
"Okay, thank you, Jinyu."
After saying that, Xia Lin went back to his bedroom. Xiao Jinyu stood there, savoring the word "home" carefully. Although Xiao Jinyu knew very well that when Xia Lin said "having meals at home", there was nothing special about it, he still couldn't help but think a little more. It seemed that... since Xia Lin moved in, this mansion did give him a faint feeling of home.
【Ding~ Xiao Jinyu's affection value increases by five points. The current affection value is twenty - four points. Congratulations to the host. I hope the host will continue to work hard.】
"What? How come?" He didn't do anything, right? Why did the affection value increase? The blackening value had only decreased once so far and was still at 74, while the affection value had increased several times and was now in the twenties.
Xia Lin was a bit dejected. He threw himself onto the soft quilt and murmured to himself, "Am I here to redeem the villain boss or to fall in love?"
