Chapter 246: She's Better Than You in More Than Just Looks
There was no need to be gentle with other girls.
If being too nice to someone else made the girl he had worked so hard to win feel distant, then seriously, even killing that girl named Zheng Siyen ten thousand times wouldn’t be enough!
How could someone like her even be compared to his future wife?
Even Lin Yibai herself thought, ‘Wasn’t Xia Changyu being a bit too harsh with his words?’
And what was all that about mother-in-law and daughter-in-law stuff?
Sigh. She didn’t really get it either, but whatever.
She’d just wait and meet Xia Changyu’s mom in person one day. She could only hope that, like he said, his mom wouldn’t dislike her.
Lin Yibai quickly went into the room to grab the keys and handed them to Xia Changyu. She looked a bit annoyed and said, “Alright, alright, just leave already, okay?”
What, he had to leave now? How great would it be if she asked him to stay the night?
Young guys really are full of energy. Even though they had just done “that,” now he suddenly wanted to do it again.
He gave a helpless sigh.
Looking down, Xia Changyu didn’t even bother to glance at Zheng Siyen. He turned to leave. But just then, she called out to him.
Zheng Siyen asked, “I still don’t get it. You’re rich, you come from a good family, and even your mom likes her so much. So why let her live in a place like this?”
Xia Changyu frowned, clearly annoyed. He said, “Why do I need to explain this to you? I…”
He paused, then spoke impatiently. “Forget it, you want to know, right? Fine. I’ve asked Baiyi to live in my big apartment in the city center more than once. And do you really think the only reason I like her is just because she’s pretty?”
Zheng Siyen asked back, “She is prettier than me. So isn’t that why?”
Xia Changyu gave a cold snort and said flatly, “Do you even know that back when I started my own small company, Baiyi came to work there for a while? No one respected the new department I started, except her. She even earned everyone’s respect.”
Zheng Siyen: “Huh?”
Xia Changyu went on, “Or do you think she survives just by looking pretty? That’s because you’ve never seen her wearing a full mascot costume in the hot summer sun, over 30 degrees, just to hand out flyers. You’ve never seen her working as a waitress in a restaurant, or carrying food trays in a hotel.”
Zheng Siyen: “......”
Xia Changyu added, “You might think I treat her differently just because I like her. But you’d never guess that even before she graduated, some other company already wanted to hire her. They offered her a job with a salary of 8,000 yuan a month, for a management position!”
Did he really have to list out every good thing about Lin Yibai?
Even Xia Changyu himself was a bit shocked after saying it all out loud.
It turns out she had done so much. But because she was always by his side, he hadn’t really noticed. Only now, going over it in detail, did he realize just how amazing she actually was.
And her personality, even his mom really liked her.
If he had to give her a score, He’d give her a perfect 100, without even thinking!
Xia Changyu opened his mouth again but realized he had nothing more to say to someone like Zheng Siyen. Talking more just felt like a waste of breath.
He simply looked at Lin Yibai, gave her a smile, and said, “Alright, I’m heading out then.”
Lin Yibai's face blushed as she replied, "Bye."
Xia Changyu left quickly. At that moment, Lin Yibai was still leaning against the wall. A look of surprise crossed her face.
To be honest, she felt like everything she did was just normal stuff, no big deal. The kind of things any ordinary person would do to get by. But in someone else’s eyes, all that was seen as “amazing”?
Like doing part-time jobs. Wasn’t that something lots of people did without a second thought?
Take that time she wore a mascot costume in the summer to hand out flyers. It was so hot she could barely stand it, but that job was something she only got because she was a girl. And it paid pretty well, around 300 to 400 yuan a day!
Then there was that job offer she got before even graduating. It was probably from that wedding planning company, from that guy “Brother Jin.” But sadly, Lin Yibai didn’t think wedding planning had much of a future. Young people don’t even want to get married these days.
She stretched a little.
Then Lin Yibai stood up, gave the girl across from her a sideways glance, and asked, “So, do you still have anything else to say to me? If not, I’m going back to bed.”
Zheng Siyen shook her head, looking a little complicated and confused. She watched as Lin Yibai turned around and waved one hand casually behind her, then walked back into the house and closed the door.
Zheng Siyen was still completely confused. She had thought Xia Changyu liked Lin Yibai just because of her looks. And since she herself wasn’t bad-looking either, she figured she could make up for it in other ways.
But in reality, she had lost completely.
She was also a college student, about to graduate. She was considered one of the prettiest girls in her class, and she had a lot of admirers.
She thought getting a stable job as an office worker meant she had things under control. From that safe and steady job, she planned to quietly choose a guy she liked.
What appealed most to Zheng Siyan about Xia Changyu was his youth, money, and good looks.
But the truth was, just because she liked a guy like him, didn’t mean he would like her.
Looks? She wasn’t as pretty.
Talent? She couldn’t compare.
Even her little tricks and plans were seen through right away.
Sigh… A long sigh escaped her lips.
As for Lin Yibai, she didn’t care much about someone like Zheng Siyen anymore.
She had already given her a warning. If the girl still didn’t know her place, then she wouldn’t go easy on her next time.
Back in her room, Lin Yibai looked at the thin blanket on the bed, and the strange marks on the middle of the blanket. She scratched her head.
To be honest, she didn’t really want to use the blanket.
But after a moment of hesitation, she still got into bed and muttered,
“We already did so much. What’s a little stain on the blanket compared to that?”
Some people might see the mess and think it’s dirty. But hey, if you don’t think inside is dirty, Then what’s the big deal about something on the outside? Just because you can’t see it, does that mean it didn’t happen?
Before sleeping, she glanced at her “female value”: 57%.
Today’s actions, which were basically the same as giving her body to someone, made her female value go up by a lot.
She once said she wanted to become a girl with “depth.”
Well… maybe now she was barely there.
“Seven?”
“Tch… Some people don’t even have seven, you know!”
But still, it wasn’t enough. Not by a long shot.
Because honestly, if she wasn’t wrong, that “seven” number probably wasn't even half of Xia Changyu's thing. And it was still a bit lower than the average online.
But that was fine. She’d catch up sooner or later.
Anyway, instead of worrying about that, Lin Yibai whispered to herself.
“Once my Girl Value hits 60%, I’ll probably get another chance to choose part of my ‘female body’ structure.”
At that point, she might gain some kind of female body part. Maybe even a reproductive system or something like that.
Too bad she didn’t know what the options were yet.
