Chapter 205: Big Brother, Time to Take Your Medicine!
What the heck is going on? Why does this feel a little off?
It was supposed to be just a simple breakfast, but for some reason, it felt like she was poisoning her love rival.
That shouldn't be happening!
While sitting in the car, Lin Yibai casually searched on internet and found an interesting fact. Bull “dingdong” contains a lot of male hormones, so it's very stimulating for guys.
And clearly, even though Lin Yibai looked more and more like a girl now, his body was still a boy's, in genes, hormones, everything.
Then she thought a little more. Lin Yibai, think carefully now. Besides the dingdong, what else did she put in?
Was it red dates, goji berries, Chinese angelica, cinnamon, Sichuan aconite...?
Any of those are great for improving men's energy and health, especially “down there.”
So…
If Lin Yibai wore glasses, she’d probably be pushing them up slowly right now and coming to a serious conclusion. ‘Is this really just a health soup? Or did I secretly poison my rival out of jealousy?’
But now their relationship isn’t that simple anymore, so maybe it’s not really poisoning. At most, he just… gave his love rival some "special medicine."
This is too awkward. Lin Yibai couldn't help but feel worried about Xia Changyu’s body.
Did something happen to the poor guy?
Dear internet, please help me, ‘What do I do if I accidentally gave some medicine to the boy who likes me?’
Trying to act casual, Lin Yibai softly asked, “Um, Changyu, are you really okay? Like… your stomach doesn't hurt or anything?”
Xia Changyu was driving on the highway, heading to the place near Lin Yibai’s wedding company.
When he heard the worried tone in her voice, he got curious. Did he look like someone who was sick?
Honestly, his body was much stronger than Lin Yibai’s, who had just weakened himself from overworking. And in general, guys like him usually react even more strongly to that kind of food, right?
Xia Changyu felt fantastic.
Especially after eating the breakfast Lin Yibai made, he felt full of energy. His whole body was warm and alive. He felt like he could punch a cow and knock it out.
He said, “I feel great.”
But Lin Yibai still wasn’t sure, and asked again, “Really? Are you sure you're okay?”
Xia Changyu was more confused now. He looked at her nervous face and finally asked, “Wait... Baiyi, what’s going on with you?”
Lin Yibai replied, “Nothing.”
Ugh, seriously. She told herself that it was just a soup. She only made a strange bowl of beef-pig soup for her rival.
What could possibly go wrong? She even drank it herself, and she was totally fine, right?
She needed to trust herself, and trust her rival too.
Soon, they were almost at the highway exit. Was this really the end?
In the end, she still couldn’t relax.
Right before the turnoff, Lin Yibai suddenly said, “Oh right! Doesn’t your company have something you need me to help with? I’ve got some free time today. I’ll call my boss and take the day off, then go help you instead! How’s that sound?”
What? She’s finally coming to his company?
He didn’t even think twice while driving. He skipped right past the exit without hesitation. Because honestly, did he even need to think about it?
If it weren’t for the fact that she was being stubborn…
Who would want to send the girl they like to someone else’s company to work part-time?
Xia Changyu’s face turned a bit red from excitement, and Lin Yibai even thought for a moment. Wait, is the medicine starting to work?
But they were still in the car. That kind of thing... not now, please!
Then she heard Xia Changyu speak in a messy, excited voice, trying to hide his happiness.
“You, me, uh, I mean Baiyi, you—you finally understand? That’s great!”
Understand, my foot!
Lin Yibai rolled her eyes. If she wasn’t worried about whether the soup (oops, the medicine) she gave her love rival would cause problems, she wouldn’t want to go to his startup company at all.
She should’ve never let him eat that bowl of… no, no, not medicine, just breakfast! It was breakfast!
Darn it. Why did she feel like such a bad person?
Like a wicked woman trying to drug her man.
No! She needed to stop thinking nonsense.
The car continued down the highway, and before long, they exited and arrived at the University Entrepreneurship Building.
The university campus was quiet since it was summer break, but there were still a few students walking around. The school had a very kind policy, allowing students who worked or had internships in the city to stay in their dorms longer.
Lin Yibai looked at the university’s famous student startup building and asked a question.
“Hey, when you graduate next year, won’t you have to move out of this place? Without the school’s support for startups, will your company be okay?”
She had heard rumors before that many student-run startups supported by the school didn’t actually make money. To put it bluntly, some just tricked the school into giving them money. It was pretty common in universities.
Whether they created jobs or not was unclear, but they sure took the money.
Why didn’t the school shut them down? Are you kidding?
That would make the school look bad! After all, the money is public, but the political credit goes to individuals.
After parking, Xia Changyu smiled and said, “Don’t compare me to those scammers. Yes, costs have gone up, and we’re making less profit, but it’s still enough to keep going.”
Lin Yibai nodded, “I believe you.”
Then Xia Changyu shrugged and said with a helpless look, “But…”
Lin Yibai: “?”
Xia Changyu sighed, “My dad probably looks down on it. He thinks I’m not doing something serious.”
Lin Yibai: “Pfft!!”
Oh please. Rich kid problems.
So in your world, starting a business is “not serious,” and going home to inherit billions is the “real job”? She suddenly didn’t want to talk to him anymore!
It had been a while since Lin Yibai last visited her love rival’s company. The office still felt friendly and relaxed, and everyone seemed to enjoy their work.
But suddenly, she felt a little sad. They probably didn’t know the truth, right?
“Baiyi, Baiyi! You’re finally here!”
Just as she stepped into the office, a cheerful voice called out. Her former assistant, Xiao Wei, happily ran over and hugged her arm, like they were best friends who hadn’t seen each other in ages.
Xiao Wei was very clingy, rubbing up against her, and even tickled Lin Yibai under her arm, making her laugh and shake all over.
With such a fun and friendly work environment, who wouldn’t love it?
Xia Changyu was happy to see it too.
But…
He couldn’t help sneaking a glance at Lin Yibai’s chest...
It was bouncy, wavy, like water balloons...
The sight made him feel a little dizzy.
“Ugh!” Xia Changyu shook his head, wondering what was wrong with him.
He swore to himself, ‘I’m not that kind of guy.’
But…
That strange “medicine” the girl gave him… It was probably about to kick in soon, right?
By then, would he still believe… He wasn’t that kind of guy?
