Volume 3 Chapter 34: Is Dog Bro So Handsome That He Can Beat Her Rival?
“Nice! Xiao Lin, the big fish is on the hook now, right?”
Sister Wenmei leaned over to look at the phone and waved her hand excitedly. But Lin Lin moved her phone away helplessly and said with a red face,
“He just agreed to meet once. Sister Wenmei, you…”
“I’m just happy for you.” Du Wenmei sat back down, a little disappointed, took a sip of coffee, then looked at the girl who was seriously replying to messages and suddenly asked,
“Xiao Lin, you sound so calm, but… what if the person who comes is a handsome guy?”
“Huh?” Lin Lin blinked. A handsome guy…
What does that have to do with her?
Tsk. Sister Wenmei had just tried to scare her by saying he might look bad in real life. Now that didn’t work, so she changed her strategy and started saying he might be handsome.
Whether he is handsome or not… at most, it would just make her feel a little safer and more relaxed when meeting him.
Well, even though she shouldn’t judge people by their looks, Lin Lin did feel a little scared of people who looked like villains.
“Didn’t I already say? I don’t care what he looks like.”
Her firm answer surprised Du Wenmei. At Xiao Lin’s age, shouldn’t a girl start to feel romantic feelings?
“But what if he’s very handsome, very polite, has a gentle personality, and he’s also your top supporter, very rich… Wouldn’t you feel even a little attracted to a guy like that?”
“Uh…”
Hearing Sister Wenmei continue to describe such an ideal man, Lin Lin lowered her head with a red face. This woman…
She’s acting like a matchmaker.
Yes, the conditions Sister Wenmei described were very attractive.
But…
Except for feeling a little embarrassed from Sister Wenmei whispering like that, Lin Lin didn’t feel anything special.
Besides…
No matter how handsome he is, she used to be a boy! Also, he probably can’t be more handsome than Gao Liang.
And she already treats someone like Gao Liang as her rival. So maybe she really has no fate with handsome guys in this life.
Forget it. It seems she just has no luck with men.
“I’m not interested in men.”
Lin Lin said this with a bit of resentment. Du Wenmei took a sharp breath.
Hiss—
Xiao Lin…
Could it be…
Has she been reading too much social media?
Wait, no. Du Wenmei thought carefully for a moment. Soon, a mischievous smile appeared on her face again.
“Oh right, I almost forgot. Our Xiao Lin already has someone she likes, so she doesn’t want anything to do with other boys~ Hehe, such a cute and pure girl. My mistake.”
“W-What are you talking about?! I-I…” Lin Lin immediately became nervous. “When did I ever like someone? Even I don’t know about that!”
“But what about that boy we saw before? The one standing close to you and acting very familiar?”
Du Wenmei raised her eyebrows and smiled. “Isn’t it him?”
“No, it’s not!” Lin Lin slapped the table and shouted. “I already told you, he’s just my classmate and friend. Just a friend! How could it be because of him? What are you even thinking?!”
“Hey, customers at that table, please keep your voice down!”
Her embarrassed shouting attracted the café owner’s attention. After being scolded, Lin Lin quickly lowered her head, her face red like it was about to explode, and glared at Du Wenmei.
“Meow—!”
Even the lucky cat beside them seemed to be blaming Sister Wenmei!
After waiting a moment, and after the other customers looked away, Wenmei finally lowered her voice and said,
“Well then, since you don’t care about that male classmate, just go meet your top supporter~”
She covered her mouth and laughed. Lin Lin puffed up her cheeks and muttered, “Fine, I’ll go…”
She had to meet him anyway because of the mission.
Besides, Dog Bro… is way better than that annoying Gao Liang!
Ah…
After being teased so much by Wenmei, Lin Lin completely didn’t want to talk to this glasses-wearing woman anymore.
It’s not like she couldn’t argue back, okay?
She took out her phone and then remembered that she still hadn’t sent a proper reply to Dog Bro.
Ahem…
So she quickly started planning.
【Ari-chan: Okay okay, then… how about this Saturday at 6 p.m.?】
【Ari-chan: As for the place…】
Lin Lin looked around. This café didn’t seem perfect. She looked out the window and thought about it. It would be safer to meet somewhere nearby with a lot of people.
Maybe a restaurant. They could have dinner at the same time.
After thinking for a while, she chose a hot pot restaurant. It would be warm and cozy, better than just drinking coffee.
【Ari-chan: How about the XX Hot Pot on Commercial Street? Is that okay?】
【Watching VTubers Makes Me a Dog: Mm… okay!】
【Ari-chan: Great! Then, Dog Bro, see you on Saturday. Haha, I’m really looking forward to it. Bye bye!】
Phew—
After putting down her phone, the girl let out a long breath.
She finally handled things with Dog Bro.
There shouldn’t be any big problems… right?
Wait, what was the punishment for failing this mission again?
‘Spicy pictures’?
What does that even mean…
Hiss—
It can’t be like that first system she had… the one about being a “fan service girl,” right?
Lin Lin started to panic. The more she thought about it, the scarier it felt.
Has her fate really ended up in Dog Bro’s hands now?
“Looks like we’re done eating and drinking.”
Du Wenmei looked at the slightly nervous girl, smiled, and patted her head. Then she turned to the waiter and handed over cash.
“Check, please!”
“H-Hey!” Lin Lin quickly waved her hands. “Wait, weren’t we splitting the bill?”
“You should save your money to treat your top supporter~” Du Wenmei said with a mischievous smile, lightly pinching Lin Lin’s cheek and stopping her from taking out her wallet. “I’m your senior, Xiao Lin. When seniors go out for coffee with juniors, the senior pays.”
“But…” Lin Lin still looked troubled. However, Du Wenmei clearly insisted on paying. She stood up, patted Lin Lin’s head again, and then said,
“By the way, Xiao Lin, it’s not a good habit to skip evening self-study and come out to hang out. You should focus on school. Back then, I kept dreaming about becoming an idol every day, and that’s how I ended up like this.”
“Hmm… staying at school at night just doesn’t fit my style.”
“So you’re still going out to play on Saturday night too? Hehe. Hey, Xiao Lin, do you want me to go with you?”
“Huh?” Lin Lin blinked.
“To protect you,” Du Wenmei added. “And to check him out for you.”
“Hmm…” Lin Lin was silent for a moment, then shook her head. “Probably… no need?”
“Well, it’s up to you~”
