Chapter 578: Chapter 142: Chi Linyue and Ning Yuhuan’s First Encounter (Part 1)_3

There are quite a few people on his work account here, a few apprentices in the web fiction section, and even more in the entertainment circle.

The former is just a circle that Xu Lin plays around with, while the latter is the field he plans to delve deeply into, so it has more people.

Xu Lin spent two hours answering their questions, using both his phone and computer simultaneously.

"Damn, more people means more work!"

Xu Lin was about to log off when Xie Ting’s message popped up.

"Master, I’m trending on the hot search!"

Xie Ting also sent a screenshot of the Weibo hot search. It turned out that with the airing of the first episode of "Singer," Xie Ting stood out the most, so he decisively made it onto the hot search.

This show is pretty lousy now, with its fresh blood being all sorts of weirdoes, making Xie Ting a breath of fresh air.

Xie Ting: "First time trending on the hot search, and it’s my name—wow, number ten on the hot search, third on the entertainment chart."

Xu Lin glanced: "Don’t worry, you can climb higher."

Xie Ting: "Master, I’m so excited!"

"It means you’re going to be popular."

Xu Lin said: "Stay calm. I’ve got to get busy now."

"Okay, bye Master."

Xu Lin didn’t reply further and logged off directly.

The following ten days were quite peaceful for Xu Lin. Aside from going to the set three times, all his non-class time was spent with Ning Yuhuan, though they weren’t doing anything romantic, but rather frequently going to the library to study together.

Ning Yuhuan busied herself with her studies while Xu Lin read books beside her.

He read anything and everything, from all sorts of sources like the Complete Works of Wang Yangming, to some well-known Buddhist scriptures.

This was on the level of traditional culture.

Then there was foreign literature. Lately, Xu Lin mainly read Western philosophy, along with some other things.

So, from ancient to modern times, East and West, relying on his fast reading pace, Xu Lin had already finished reading over a hundred books during this period.

And in Ning Yuhuan’s view, what kind of person was Xu Lin?

He was very focused, always reading, always learning.

Unintentionally, Ning Yuhuan felt the urge to work harder, having been motivated by him.

Although she already worked hard, she still felt a sense of powerlessness, knowing that she could never catch up to Xu Lin in this lifetime.

After all, a book that might take her ten days to finish, Xu Lin could flip through twice in an hour, and he could recite it backwards and forwards. And in this case, "recite it backwards and forwards" wasn’t just a figure of speech, but the literal truth.

How could you possibly keep up?

Today was Saturday, a bright sunny day, and it was already late April.

Xu Lin closed "Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind," having finished yet another book.

"Heading back yet?" 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Xu Lin checked the time; it was just past five in the afternoon, just the right time to go eat.

"Mm-hmm."

Ning Yuhuan nodded.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing." Ning Yuhuan shook her head hastily.

"If I find out you’re thinking bad thoughts, I’m going to spank you."

Xu Lin threatened ’ferociously.’

"Ah, I swear I’m not!"

Ning Yuhuan panicked a bit because when Xu Lin said spanking, he didn’t mean with a hand, but rather that she’d be undressed, placed in a very shameful posture, with Xu Lin behind or on top of her...

In any case, Ning Yuhuan did not want to be spanked.

"Don’t think about those messy things, okay?"

Xu Lin said, "Let’s go grab some dinner first."

"Okay."

Ning Yuhuan packed up her things.

Shortly, the two left the library.

Today, Xu Lin wanted to have a good meal, so he found a high-end restaurant.

This restaurant wasn’t cheap, with one of their main dishes, imported wild king crab, costing over 4,000, and not the most expensive item.

Xu Lin mainly wanted to try the king crab.

After entering the restaurant, a waiter led the two to a booth.

This restaurant had a refined ambiance, with a starry sky ceiling and an environment styled to mimic nighttime, giving it a significant atmosphere. As for the decor, it was certainly upscale.

Because the meals were expensive, the patrons weren’t the working class, with a single meal costing at least several thousand or even tens of thousands, and if you added alcohol it might reach six figures. After all, some wines are not cheap, so you needed some money in your pocket, one way or another.

So Xu Lin scanned the room: among the guests, there were social elites, wealthy families, and influencer-type beauties hanging around Brother Fu...

Hmm?

Suddenly, Xu Lin spotted Chi Linyue, and for a moment, he thought he was mistaken. However, upon closer inspection, it was indeed the big sister.

How could they run into each other here?

The big sister had just come out of the restroom, her high heels tapping rhythmically, drawing the attention of many in the room.

Xu Lin noticed the sound of the high heels, which made him look over.

This was an enchanting woman, whose mere silhouette could spark countless fantasies.

Clearly, Chi Linyue also noticed Xu Lin, including the girl holding Xu Lin’s right arm.

Ning Yuhuan’s eyes were clear, and her dressing was simple, appearing to be a totally unpretentious, pure girl.

This was the first time in her life that Chi Linyue had met such a special girl; just one glance at Ning Yuhuan gave her a feeling of affection, which was quite strange since she had met all sorts of people, but only Ning Yuhuan gave her this feeling.

"Truly strange." Chi Linyue felt surprised.

The big sister hadn’t ordered yet; she came here alone today.

In fact, she had messaged Xu Lin in the afternoon, asking if he wanted to go out to eat, to which Xu Lin replied with just three words: "No time."

That meant he had no time.

Yet look, they ran into each other here.

"Xu Lin, over here!"

She waved her hand.
