Chapter 600: Chapter 150: Even Scumbags Know How to Be Romantic

May 2nd.

Xu Lin didn’t forget that today is Yu Xinyan’s birthday.

So as soon as Xu Lin got up in the morning, he started pondering how to celebrate this birthday.

Xu Lin originally planned to settle it with a birthday cake, but then thought that might be a bit perfunctory.

After all, it’s the seventh year since they met.

It’s no exaggeration to say that their familiarity even surpasses that of a couple.

"Is there any romantic gesture worth exploring?"

Xu Lin freed his mind, coming up with quite a few ideas.

What does freeing your mind mean? For instance, Ms. Ren would tell him he couldn’t do this and that, should be a good kid.

Xu Lin would more or less listen, or outright ignore her, although he pretended to obey on the surface.

Meanwhile, Xu Lin’s dad has a different approach than Ms. Ren. He doesn’t suppress his ideas and lets him free his nature as much as possible because Xu Cheng came up rough in his youth, while Ms. Ren was a good girl type like Ning Yuhuan, so their educational approaches differ.

Therefore, after fully freeing his nature, Xu Lin would have his own ideas, his brain is free, possessing the trait of fully liberated nature.

How should a girl’s birthday be celebrated?

A birthday cake, let her blow out the candles, you wish her a happy birthday?

Typically, yes, that’s how it’s done.

But for a liberated guy, he can add some flair.

However, this kind of flair only works when there’s a good rapport between you and the other person, otherwise even just giving a birthday cake can be seen as silly; the prerequisite is that the other person has feelings for you.

In the morning, Xu Lin found a store specializing in birthday setups and bought a batch of electronic candles.

These electronic candles are placed on the ground to form a pattern or text, such as ’I love you, Happy Birthday’ or similar messages.

At night, when the electronic candles light up, it’ll feel very romantic.

Xu Lin plans to arrange the electronic candles into seven words under Yu Xinyan’s dorm: "Yu Xinyan, Happy Birthday."

Of course, Xu Lin wouldn’t do the arranging himself.

So Xu Lin found a way to join a part-time group at Jiangdu University and posted a reward inside.

A heavy reward will certainly attract brave people, or brave girls in this case.

Xu Lin offered a thousand yuan per person, and immediately many girls volunteered.

Xu Lin picked two girls from the group, asking them to collect the electronic candles from the store and instructing them to arrange the candles at eight-thirty at night, and clean up afterward.

The students from a prestigious university are generally reliable, so Xu Lin felt reassured about them.

After finishing these arrangements, Xu Lin went home.

In the afternoon, he even took a nap and woke up after three o’clock.

After getting up, he took a shower, went out, and got a new hairstyle—a textured clip—making him look much fresher.

After the hairstyle, it was already past six in the afternoon.

Around seven, Xu Lin arrived at the cake shop from yesterday.

At this time, Yu Xinyan’s birthday cake was already prepared.

Meanwhile,

Night fell at Jiangdu University.

Yu Xinyan was still in her dorm, lying on the desk staring at her phone. She had messaged Xu Lin today, but he hadn’t replied.

Did Xu Lin forget my birthday?

Yu Xinyan wondered, feeling down and unwilling to do anything.

She also thought about the current May Day vacation, is Xu Lin with Ning Yuhuan?

So did he forget her birthday?

Actually, Yu Xinyan didn’t blame Xu Lin. Her birthday wasn’t a must-celebrate event; after all, he has a girlfriend. It’s just that she’s here overthinking.

Sigh...

Yu Xinyan sighed, feeling uncomfortable, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Her dorm was full today, actually the other dorms were quite full too; during the May Day holiday, not many people went home. In a top university like Jiangdu, everyone has things to do— even if the school didn’t assign homework, students would find things to do themselves. That’s the diligence of top students and geniuses.

Yu Xinyan actually wanted to message Xu Lin, asking if they could hang out, but since he hadn’t replied, she assumed he was with Ning Yuhuan and decided not to disturb him.

And so, time ticked away while Yu Xinyan was feeling down.

Until it was around eight-thirty at night.

It was only then that Xu Lin casually strolled to the girls’ dormitory building.

The dormitory buildings had iron gates, each building had two dormitories, and the iron gates faced a wide activity area.

Xu Lin had earlier instructed the two girls today to set up the electronic candles here, which took just ten minutes.

At this moment, Xu Lin saw the seven words glowing, "Yu Xinyan, Happy Birthday," in a soft yellow light.

There was a dorm supervisor lady at the iron gate.

"Auntie, can I go in for a bit?"

"Student, unless in special circumstances, boys aren’t allowed in here!"

"Auntie, I’m celebrating my girlfriend’s birthday. You see, I’m setting up electronic candles right there—I won’t go upstairs."

Xu Lin was tall and handsome, and the dorm supervisor lady scrutinized him, perceiving him as harmless, thus allowing him to enter.

Actually, the entire world is like a grand Kayan game, and it has always been so from ancient times to now. Good-looking people easily lower others’ guards. Even if they commit heinous acts, as long as they look good, someone will say what a pity it is that someone so attractive ended up that way.

"Hurry up; don’t linger too long!"

The dorm supervisor lady reminded.
