System: Master Your Life-Chapter 561 - 136: The Canary (Part 1)_3

Clap.

Very soon, Xu Lin’s cigarette was lit, and he was blowing smoke.

"I’ll stroll around for a bit, you guys chat first."

"Alright!"

"Brother Xu, take care!"

Xu Lin nodded slightly, then started walking around the set.

It was lunchtime, so everyone was on break.

While eating just now, Xu Lin was with the guys, discussing social issues and national politics.

When men get together, what else do they talk about?

Initially, they talked about beautiful women, then Vietnamese girls, and suddenly someone mentioned that Vietnamese guys can be troublesome, leading the discussion to defensive wars, and eventually to international relations.

Women, on the other hand, were different. Xu Lin overheard them chatting about gossip, like this celebrity or that one.

The girls noticed him and warmly greeted him.

Xu Lin exchanged a few casual words with them and then moved on.

The celebrities had camper vans, enjoying their air conditioning at noon. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"What are you looking at?"

Xu Lin came over to Chen Duling’s camper van and found her looking at a page of text on a small tablet.

A document?

A novel?

Or other reading material?

"Reading your novel!"

"Which one?"

Xu Lin asked.

"’When We Were Young, April on Earth’!"

Xu Lin suddenly understood.

Chen Duling asked him, "Can I ask why this new book title? There must be some of your thoughts in it?"

"What do you think of the weather in March?" Xu Lin asked in return.

"Hmm... March, the weather is quite unpredictable. Last month, it got cold a few times, and some places in the north even had snow."

"So, how is the weather in March?"

"Not very good."

"What about May?"

"May... What about May?" She couldn’t think of anything for a moment.

Xu Lin: "In May, the rainy season arrives, and the weather starts becoming hotter."

"So is April the best?"

"Pretty much, April is neither too cold nor too hot, and it doesn’t rain often. It exists between spring and summer, everything is just right, just like everyone’s youth, everything is just perfect."

"I see!"

Chen Duling suddenly had a clear insight, thinking carefully that among the twelve months of the year, perhaps April really is the best.

She smiled and said, "This book is great! Using simple and straightforward prose, it paints a picture of the idyllic life that people yearn for. Mr. Xu, you’re truly talented!"

"Why not say something that people can understand?"

"Haha, it’s just really good. I really long for the life in your book, from school uniforms to wedding dresses, to building a home, having children, living an ordinary yet happy life, supporting each other until old age. It’s written so well. I think many readers aspire to such a life!" she remarked.

"Probably."

Xu Lin chatted with her for about ten minutes then went to see Dilraba, who was also reading his novel.

Come to think of it, many girls on the set were reading this novel of his.

Xu Lin then realized, from twelve o’clock last night to this noon, after fermenting for about twelve or thirteen hours, his book had already become quite popular.

In the afternoon, Xu Lin also spent time on the set.

He left at five o’clock and even treated everyone to dinner.

"Are you free tonight?"

Xu Lin sent a message to Xia Xiyao.

"I’m free!"

Xia Xiyao replied instantly, "I’m practicing dance, just taking a break now."

"When do you finish?"

"Six thirty."

"Okay, I’ll drive over."

Xu Lin drove all the way to Xia Xiyao’s college.

Upon reaching near Jiangdu Music College, Xu Lin parked at a convenience store to buy a pack of Zhonghua and a lighter.

Arriving at Jiangdu Music College’s entrance, intending to drive in,

Xu Lin stopped at the gate, where a security guard came over to ask what he was there for.

This was all standard procedure.

Xu Lin handed over a pack of cigarettes, offering one, "Uncle, I’m here to see my girlfriend."

"Haha, is that so."

The security guard’s expression changed when he saw the cigarettes.

Actually, cigarettes aren’t expensive, but they serve as a social tool. Just like when you call an older woman "Miss" and she feels pleased—it’s social instinct. If you directly call her "Auntie," she might not like it. With the advancement of the internet, women in their forties and fifties also prefer being called "Miss" or "Sister" instead of "Auntie." Who wants to age?

Before long, Xu Lin handed out two cigarettes each to a few security guards and was allowed into the school without even needing to register.

"This young man is good. I’ve worked as a security guard here for five years, and fewer than ten young men have given me cigarettes!"

"Driving a supercar and still so polite, respecting us security uncles. And it’s Zhonghua!"

"These cigarettes feel great!"

...

Xu Lin didn’t know what they thought as he drove into the campus, maneuvering through the roads.

However, since there were many people, Xu Lin drove carefully.

Even though the city of Jiangdu has many supercars, Xu Lin’s brand-new Lamborghini is striking enough to make heads turn.

"Whose car is that?"

"Wow, it’s the legendary new model Lamborghini!"

"I wonder which girl will be crazily hit up by the owner tonight."

"Haha, these rich people switch girls faster than clothes. Once they’re bored, they throw them out. Those girls are going to end up badly!"

"Buddy, we know you’re jealous. That goddess you long for, he can sleep with without spending a dime. That got under your skin, didn’t it?"

Jiangdu Music College has quite a few natural beauties, and some real stunners.

Everyone wondered, who would be the one sitting in the passenger seat of this car tonight?
