Zombie Bodyguard-Chapter 1565 - 1562: Admissions Turmoil (Part 1)

"Lin Tian, you... you stay away, or I’ll draw my sword. You know, the Hua Ying Sword can hurt you..." Xiao Manxue said, trying to control her restless heart, staring directly at Lin Tian, unwilling to lose her momentum to him.

Lin Tian raised an eyebrow, stuck out his tongue, and lightly licked his slightly dry lips. Suddenly, he leaned down, extending his right hand as well, reaching under her ribs and along her slender waist toward her hips.

Xiao Manxue shuddered, as if electrified, then instinctively drew the Hua Ying Sword from her hand. With a swoosh, a bright light flashed inside the room, like a streak of lightning.

Before she even made a move, she noticed the space in front of her was empty. Lin Tian had already disappeared. When she turned her head, he was standing a few meters away, holding a T-shirt in his hand.

"Miss, you were sitting on my clothes. I was just taking it out, there’s no need to draw swords," Lin Tian said with an innocent look.

"You... just took the clothes? I... thought you..." Xiao Manxue’s face turned red. She thought Lin Tian was going to get handsy. Although her first kiss had already been taken by this jerk, she still got extremely nervous whenever he got close.

At the same time, she realized that her body and subconscious didn’t resist when he got close, but rather... felt a bit expecting.

"Thought I was going to do what a man and a woman should do?" Seeing the blush on the young lady’s face, Lin Tian showed a mysterious smile.

"In a couple of days, I have to go to school to get the admission notice, don’t forget..." Xiao Manxue suddenly said quickly, then turned and left the room, somewhat in haste. Under Lin Tian’s burning gaze, she was afraid she couldn’t control the chaos in her heart.

With a bang, the door closed. Lin Tian’s gaze gradually cleared, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "Manxue, if you stayed any longer, I wouldn’t have been able to control myself."

He raised his right hand to take a look, as if it still held the scent and warmth of Xiao Manxue’s body. When he touched her hip earlier, Lin Tian nearly lost it. Without being close to Xiao Manxue, one could never know how deadly attractive she was.

Although he had already taken a shower, Lin Tian went to the bathroom again to take another shower, washing with cold water to extinguish the wicked fire in his heart.

Early the next morning, after practicing, Lin Tian dialed Zhou Botong’s number: "Brother Zhou, I’m back in Xikou City; do you have time to hang out?"

"You’re back in Xikou City?" Zhou Botong was obviously surprised and then raised his voice several decibels: "Damn it, where have you been lately, disappearing for so long? I’ll tell you, for the jewelry store we three co-opened, I’m so tired I’m going crazy, while you and the young lady became hands-off bosses..."

It was still that familiar tone, still that familiar nagging. After experiencing so much, hearing Zhou Botong’s endless babbling, Lin Tian felt an unparalleled sense of familiarity. Although he still wanted to tape his mouth and give him a good beating.

"I’m so thirsty, let me drink some water first..." Several minutes later, Zhou Botong finally stopped. Then a sound of drinking water came from the phone. After drinking more than half a bottle, the voice continued: "Lin Tian, what have you and the young lady been up to? She used to be a model of hard work and wouldn’t be a hands-off manager."

Lin Tian thought for a moment and didn’t elaborate: "It’s a long story. Let’s talk when we meet. Where are you?"

"I’m in Jinghua City. Wait there; I’ll be right back. This time I’ve caught you, and you can’t run away." Zhou Botong said, somewhat aggrieved, apparently having put in a lot of effort for the jewelry store.

With his previous playfulness, he was probably either racing cars somewhere or playing. Now being able to settle and run a business was likely for Ou Mengmeng.

After all, the Ou family is a big family. To reduce the resistance to being with Ou Mengmeng, Zhou Botong had to make himself outstanding.

Don’t talk about how with love, nothing else matters, and even drinking water is sweet. Even eloping is an option. That’s an irresponsible attitude. A man should make himself strong, not make his woman give up everything for you.

Just from a few words, Lin Tian could already guess Zhou Botong’s current situation. Hearing him say he would come back, Lin Tian quickly stopped him: "If you’re in Jinghua City, there’s no need to come back. I’ll soon be going to Jinghua University to enroll. It’s not too late to see you then."

"Almost forgot, you’re still a student. That’s good. Tianxue Jewelry has expanded considerably in Jinghua City, and its flagship store has opened. In the future, you’ll be studying in Jinghua City and won’t be able to be a hands-off boss, hehe." Zhou Botong laughed slyly.

Lin Tian was speechless: "I’m still a student. My main task is to complete my studies. If you want me to manage Tianxue Jewelry, that’s called not doing my proper duty."

"I don’t care. Anyway, when you come, you can’t do nothing. Just as the flagship store of Jinghua City has a grand opening, I’ve shortlisted a few actresses for endorsements. You’ll have to be a consultant then. Our Tianxue Jewelry is a leader in the jewelry industry, and this can’t be sloppy." Zhou Botong, playing the rogue, was a master at it too.

"Alright, you have a point." Lin Tian had to temporarily compromise and quickly end the call to avoid him going on and on. He was also curious anyway about which actresses Zhou Botong’s taste would choose for endorsements.

Lin Tian had considered letting the young lady be the spokesperson. Her looks and temperament surpass those so-called actresses, but he dismissed the idea upon thinking about being judged by countless men. Moreover, the showbiz mire wasn’t necessary for the young lady to wade through.

After returning to the Xiao Family, everything seemed to calm down again, and Lin Tian lived a peaceful life as if he were back to school days. However, there was no school now. When there was nothing to do, he’d visit the Night Rose Bar, his business after all.

Under the joint management of everyone, Night Rose Bar’s business was thriving and had multiplied in profit compared to the previously chaotic situation. Lin Tian’s takeover made a massive difference; crooked ways never last long-term.

On the third morning after returning, as usual, there was a knock on the bedroom door. The only one to knock in the morning would be Xiao Manxuan since after the young lady returned, she reverted to her workaholic state, leaving early and even "staying out overnight," as if to make up for lost time.

As for Mrs. Xiao, she left Xikou City on the second day after their return, continuing to expand the Xiao Group. The Xiao Group was in a phase of rapid expansion and development, busier than ever.

"Get up quickly; today, you need to pick up the admission notice. If you go late, the school gates will close. See how you’ll enroll in university without it," Xiao Manxuan called out from outside the door.

With a click, Lin Tian opened the door: "Why not have the school send it over? That Director Gao would probably be very willing to do so."

"I don’t want that. Seeing Director Gao makes me angry." Xiao Manxuan was very displeased, so Lin Tian had no choice but to go out with her.
