The feeling of Xu Lele buying clothes and shoes for him now was so similar to when Lin Shutong bought medicine for him back then. First, they give you a little bit of sweetness, and then they play hard to get, just like flying a kite. When you move forward, they move back; when you move back, they move forward. Over time, you become their "courtier."
"Damn it! This familiar operation, this familiar routine, it's terrifying!"
"I just want to spend some 'Courting Dog Money,' I'm not really trying to be your courtier. Can you just leave me alone?"
Chen Yuan suddenly realized this while getting his hair cut.
He decided that he would never invest his feelings casually again.
Spending money was okay, going on dates was okay, buying things was okay, and flirting was okay, but he just couldn't get emotionally involved!
It had to be said.
The barber, Tony, was really good at his job!
When Chen Yuan's messy hair was transformed into the trendiest hairstyle for young men these days, and his old outfit of slippers, shorts, and a T - shirt was replaced with the high - quality clothes carefully selected by Xu Lele, he looked completely different.
Chen Yuan wasn't ugly to begin with; he just didn't bother to groom himself. In fact, his basic looks were quite good.
After this transformation, he was so handsome that he was no less attractive than some of the popular young influencers on Douyin!
Xu Lele was almost stunned.
The contrast was so great that he seemed like a completely different person.
Xu Lele: Affection +5
Xu Lele: Affection +5
Xu Lele: Affection +5
Before he knew it, Xu Lele's affection for Chen Yuan had risen to 83 points.
An affection level of 83 points was quite high.
With such a high level of affection, it was enough to make a girl chase after a guy on her own initiative.
At this moment, in Xu Lele's heart, Chen Yuan was truly a treasure.
When they first met, he didn't seem like much, but the more she got to know him, the more she discovered countless shining points about him.
First of all, Chen Yuan was rich but low - key. For three years in college, he had managed to act like an ordinary person.
Secondly, Chen Yuan was infatuated and dedicated. He could silently devote himself to a girl for three years. As a rich second - generation, he was willing to humble himself and run to the girls' dormitory building every morning to deliver breakfast. How gentle and considerate!
Finally, this guy was actually very handsome!
With a little grooming, he was much more handsome than Huang Junkai and even more good - looking in the long run.
Thinking about how Lin Shutong had clearly liked that Gucci bag in the Gucci store earlier, but her boyfriend just wouldn't buy it for her and made all kinds of high - sounding excuses, Xu Lele suddenly thought that Lin Shutong must be blind!
She had already had the best, but she had given it up for something trivial.
"Should we go have a meal?"
Before they knew it, it was already 9 p.m.
Chen Yuan hadn't eaten yet.
If he didn't eat with Xu Lele, he couldn't use the "Courting Dog Money."
He only had a little over 200 yuan in his own bank card.
If he didn't take this opportunity to have a good meal with the "Courting Dog Money," he would really be strapped for cash!
"Sure," Xu Lele readily agreed!
They left Qianda Plaza and went to a high - end restaurant.
The meal was very enjoyable.
Xu Lele didn't mind Chen Yuan's eager eating.
Anyway, he looked handsome no matter what.
At 11 p.m., Chen Yuan and Xu Lele ended their date for the day.
They exchanged contact information.
"Damn, Fourth, where did you go today? And you got such a cool look!"
His roommate Zhou Haiquan winked and asked.
"I went on a date!"
"With who? Lin Shutong? I think you've really had enough, Fourth. Lin Shutong clearly treats you like a tool and a meal ticket. Why are you so obsessed with her? She only comes to you when she needs something and flirts with other guys when she's free. You're not on the same level as her. You'd better let go as soon as possible!"
"It's not Lin Shutong. I went on a date with Xu Lele today!"
"Who? Xu Lele? Stop bragging. She's one of the top three campus beauties in the Art College. She has high standards. How could she go on a date with you?"
"Fourth, you're getting too full of yourself lately. I think you shouldn't be so fixated on one person. You don't have to chase after the prettiest girls. Just find someone decent. The main thing is that you should be a good match!" Cao Jinyan, the eldest in the dormitory, earnestly advised.
"Ding!"
At this moment, Chen Yuan's phone rang.
He thought it was a message from Xu Lele.
When he opened it, he was surprised to find that it was from Lin Shutong.
"Chen Yuan, are you asleep? I didn't mean to say those things to you today. Please don't be angry. I only said those harsh words because I didn't want Junkai to misunderstand. In fact, I'm also very sad. Can you forgive me?"
Here we go again?
Here we go again?
When he saw this message, Chen Yuan was so angry that he almost threw his phone!
It was this kind of hot - and - cold attitude that had made him a "courtier" for all these years.
If it was before, Chen Yuan would definitely still be angry, and Lin Shutong would continue to coax him. In a couple of days, Chen Yuan would be so muddled by her coaxing that he would continue to be her "courtier"!
He had always been completely controlled by her!
But now...
He still had to keep courting.
There was no way around it. Since the system had bound the "courtier" relationship, he had no choice but to do it!
"It's okay. I forgive you. As long as you're happy, I'm willing to do anything!" After editing the message, Chen Yuan sent it casually.
In Dormitory 503 of the Goddesses' Building.
When Lin Shutong saw the message from Chen Yuan, she was taken aback.
In fact, she herself thought that what she did today was a bit excessive. She had originally thought that it would take at least a few days to make Chen Yuan stop being angry.
Who would have thought that he would forgive her directly!
"Could it be sarcasm?"
Of course, she didn't really care whether Chen Yuan was angry or not. She just wanted to know where Chen Yuan got all that money!
"Chen Yuan, I'm sorry. I also have my difficulties. My mom is in the hospital and needs 50,000 yuan for medical expenses. I had no choice but to ask Huang Junkai for help. If I didn't act that way towards you in front of him, he wouldn't have lent me the money! I'm really sorry!"
"Ding Dong!"
[Chen Yuan has transferred 50,000 yuan. Click to confirm receipt.]
When she saw this transfer message, Lin Shutong was stunned!
In fact, she hadn't really intended to deceive Chen Yuan out of 50,000 yuan.
She had just subconsciously told a lie to cover up another lie.
But who would have thought that Chen Yuan would transfer the money without hesitation.
This was 50,000 yuan, not 50 yuan.
Thinking about how Huang Junkai, the guy she wholeheartedly liked, wouldn't even buy her a bag, she felt really bad!
