CHAPTER 171: CHAPTER 38: ROYALTIES RECEIVED, RENTING A HOUSE, AND HOUSE HUNTING WITH RONG XIYI_3

Xu Lin couldn’t stand it anymore and directly stepped in, grabbing Rong Xiyi’s hand to help her adjust her posture.

"Like this?"

Rong Xiyi turned to ask him.

Xu Lin nodded.

Rong Xiyi’s pretty face flushed: "Then I’ll shoot now!"

"Go ahead."

So, Rong Xiyi took a shot, but the basketball only hit the hoop and didn’t go in.

During the first sports class, Xu Lin was teaching Rong Xiyi to play basketball.

But Rong Xiyi seemed too clumsy; as soon as he taught her, she forgot by the next shot, so Xu Lin had to keep teaching her.

Eventually, Xu Lin was speechless, "Are you doing this on purpose?"

"I am doing it on purpose!"

Rong Xiyi suddenly smiled brightly.

Xu Lin: ...

Xu Lin: "Then play by yourself."

"Xu Lin, you’re so dense! Teach me quick!"

"Fine, I’m dense."

Xu Lin couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to her.

"Xu Lin, teach me one more time!"

Rong Xiyi pouted, her voice not loud, but everyone nearby could hear.

Which guy could withstand the pouting of such a beautiful girl?

Some guys thought if a beauty of this level pouted at me, I’d happily go through hell and high water.

But Xu Lin wasn’t swayed by Rong Xiyi’s antics, "Play by yourself!"

"Xu Lin!"

Rong Xiyi puffed her cheeks in frustration.

"Bro! Awesome!"

Zhao Liangchen couldn’t help but give Xu Lin a thumbs up, not being moved by a beautiful girl’s pouting.

Liu Longsheng was completely speechless; his goddess was pouting at Xu Lin, and Xu Lin wasn’t pleased.

And besides, Xu Lin already has a girlfriend, how can Rong Xiyi even do this?

Liu Longsheng felt that he was the real good man here!

He, Liu Longsheng, drove a top-notch e300, was handsome, pursued by many girls, yet he remained as pure as ever, didn’t play games, and had no bad habits.

In contrast, Xu Lin, who had a girlfriend, yet had no boundaries with girls.

How could that count as being a good man?

Soon, the sports class ended.

Xu Lin spent the entire next class playing basketball, working up a sweat.

"When are we going to look at the house?" Rong Xiyi asked him.

"Of course, after we take a shower."

"Then I’ll go take a shower too, and I’ll join you later."

Both went back to their dorms to shower.

Xu Lin was obviously the fastest to shower, just five minutes, plus blow-drying his hair and getting dressed, another five to six minutes.

"Are you ready?"

Xu Lin sent a message to Rong Xiyi.

"Hmm?"

Five minutes later.

Rong Xiyi replied: "How can a girl shower that fast?"

Xu Lin: "Damn it, you think this is a date? Just wash quickly, stop dawdling!"

"Pah! I wouldn’t date you!"

"Hurry up!"

"Coming, okay?"

After a few more minutes, Rong Xiyi finally appeared.

She wasn’t dressed particularly special, just a pink short sleeve shirt and black flared pants.

Then the two left the school, and Xu Lin called a Didi.

But apparently, there was a traffic jam.

Two minutes later, the driver called: "Bro, there’s a traffic jam here. If you’re not in a hurry, you can wait a few minutes, but if you’re in a rush, I can cancel the order?"

"Then just cancel it first!"

In a place like Jiangdu, traffic jams during rush hour are normal.

"What now?"

Rong Xiyi asked.

"Let’s take a shared bike!"

Xu Lin spotted a shared bike not far away, the electric kind.

"But I don’t know how to ride a shared bike." Rong Xiyi hesitated.

"Just sit behind me!"

Xu Lin treated her differently; if it were Ning Yuhuan, she would sit in front of him, but Rong Xiyi, not being his girlfriend, would sit behind.

"Isn’t this inappropriate?"

"I’m not taking advantage of you, what’s there to be afraid of?"

Xu Lin said seriously: "Look, you’re pretty, I’m handsome, sitting together isn’t taking advantage of anyone, both of us are at a loss, so it’s like neither of us is at a loss."

"Xu Lin, what kind of sophistry is this?"

Rong Xiyi was left speechless; she didn’t expect Xu Lin to say something so ridiculous!

"Xu Lin, I really want to tell your mom!"

"Get on the bike!"

"Okay!"

Xu Lin made room for her, and then Rong Xiyi sat behind.

"Hold on tight!"

"Okay."

Rong Xiyi, sitting behind, placed her feet on the pedals in front of Xu Lin and held onto Xu Lin’s shoulders for stability.

But Rong Xiyi was not comfortable at all, and it felt like she could fall off anytime. After all, her butt was bigger than the average girl’s, not the petite kind.

The two were nearly glued together.

Throughout the ride, Rong Xiyi was quite uncomfortable, and at times, when the road was a bit bumpy, she felt like she was going to fall off. So she had to hold onto Xu Lin’s shoulder with one hand and wrap her arm around Xu Lin’s waist with the other. The two were pressed against each other, nearly stuck together.

Yet, despite the discomfort, Rong Xiyi’s experience wasn’t bad; one hand wrapped around Xu Lin, and she also caught a whiff of a pleasant scent from Xu Lin.

"Xu Lin, did you put on perfume?"

She couldn’t help but ask.

"What kind of joke is that? A guy wearing perfume, who would do that? What guy wears perfume?"

"That’s nonsense! My dad wears perfume too."

"Your dad wears perfume?"

"Yes, he... never mind, not worth discussing, my dad’s a jerk, it’s boring."

Xu Lin also didn’t say anything like asking why her dad was a jerk; he never cared about other people’s family matters.

Soon, they reached their destination. Xu Lin spoke with the agent and planned to grab a meal first before checking out the house.

After having a meal nearby, the two arrived at the entrance of the residential community.

This community was quite upscale; you needed an access card or face recognition to enter, and without an agent, you couldn’t get in.
