Chapter 22: Temporary Boyfriend

  He Dong himself didn't know how he walked out of the seafood restaurant, until a gust of cool wind blew over him and his mind suddenly cleared up. It was only then that he realized they had unknowingly walked into the school and were almost at the girls' dormitory building.

  And at this time, Lin Xuan was still tightly hugging her own arm, the towering twin peaks rubbing against her elbow, and the waves of girly fragrance made He Dong's heart beat with excitement.

  Actually, He Dong didn't know that Lin Xuan was always sober, but she couldn't help enjoying the feeling of being close to him, especially some unintentional physical contact, which made her heart flutter.

  It was as if they had both reached their destination, and without a word, they stopped in their tracks. He Dong stared intently at Lin Xuan, while Lin Xuan looked down, her face flushed like a ripe apple.

  "Xuan Xuan, will you be my girlfriend?" He Dong had been working up the courage for half a day and finally softly asked Lin Xuan.

  "Not good, you haven't even started pursuing her yet!" Lin Xuan suddenly said with a mischievous tone.

  "Ah!" He Dong had thought this was a done deal, but when he saw Lin Xuan's cunning gaze, he suddenly realized something. Taking advantage of Lin Xuan's distraction, he abruptly kissed her face and then said in an extremely domineering tone, "I will definitely pursue you, first let me put my seal on you!"

  "You...! Rascal!" He Dong's sneak attack made Lin Xuan extremely dissatisfied, raising her small hand to punch He Dong.

  "Haha, remember, you've been stamped by me! From today on, you're mine!" He Dong immediately jumped away with a giggle, and before Lin Xuan could get angry, he quickly threw it away.

  Watching He Dong escape, Lin Xuan didn't chase after him, but instead gently touched the place where He Dong had kissed her, her face filled with tender emotions.

  His relationship with Lin Xuan has made a leap forward, He Dong's mood is great, and he even stopped going to the pet hospital in the following days. Every morning, he would punctually hold a bouquet of roses and a loving breakfast under the jealous and envious eyes of others, waiting downstairs for the girls' dormitory.

  Of course, He Dong didn't waste the best dating time at noon and in the evening. And after these few days of fermentation, the news that Lin Xiaohua had a master also spread throughout the school.

  He Dong hadn't left the school for several days, especially since He Dong and Lin Xuan's affair had become public knowledge. This made someone's anger burn more fiercely, to the point of near madness.

  "Scarface, what's going on with the task I entrusted to you? Why hasn't it been taken care of yet?"

  "Brother Sun, if that kid leaves school, we have hundreds of ways to complete your task, but if he doesn't leave school, we're out of luck!"

  "I'll give you another 100,000!"

  "Sonny, this isn't about money. Because something happened at school, it's not something we can afford."

  "Alright then, but I want you to cripple him for me!"

  "This request can be done!"

  He Dong would never have known that someone was plotting against him behind his back, as he was now indulging in a romantic moment with Lin Xuan in a secluded corner of the school library.

  "Dongdong, it seems like you haven't been to the pet hospital for several days!" Lin Xuan said with a mix of sweetness and helplessness as she looked at He Dong, who was pulling her hand with a deadpan expression.

  "It's okay, there are people taking care of it. My current task is to pursue you! Xuanxuan, be my girlfriend!" He Dong continued to show off his thick-skinned and gluttonous good style.

  "Not good, you promised to send me 9,999 roses, but now there are less than a hundred! When will you...!" Lin Xiang's words stopped abruptly.

  "Is it that as long as I send you 9,999 roses, you'll agree to be my girlfriend?" He Dong's eyes suddenly lit up, and his expression seemed to say that if Lin Xuan nodded, he would immediately go buy 9,999 roses.

  "You're so beautiful! People always say that the more you can't get something, the more you cherish it! If I agreed to be your girlfriend, you wouldn't cherish me anymore!" Lin Xiang said with a pout.

  "How could that be? If you were to become my girlfriend, I would absolutely treat you like a treasure, holding you in my mouth and fearing you'd melt away, cradling you in my hands and fearing you'd fall!" He Dong exaggeratedly said.

  In fact, with their current intimate relationship, they have already become boyfriend and girlfriend, but the two are enjoying this game of cat and mouse, and even vaguely can't help themselves.

  "Fine...! Since your attitude is not bad, I'll let you be my temporary boyfriend for now!" Lin Xuan said with a reluctant tone.

  "Ah! It's just temporary!" He Dong said with a dissatisfied expression.

  "What? The temporary one is not satisfactory either? Or should I cancel this temporary one too?" Lin Xuan said with a pout.

  "Whatever, whatever! Temporary is temporary, it's better than nothing!" He Dong resignedly pursed his lips, then suddenly curled up the corners of his mouth and leaned in close to Lin Xuan, whispering "Xuan Xuan, since I'm now your temporary boyfriend, shouldn't you give me some boyfriend treatment?"

  "What treatment?" Lin Xuan was stunned and didn't understand what He Dong meant.

  "What I mean is this...!" He Dong said, taking advantage of the opportunity to kiss Lin Xuan's face.

  "Ah! You...!" The sudden attack caused Lin Xuan's face to suddenly turn red, and she raised her hand to punch He Dong.

  "Xuan Xuan, I don't have class this afternoon, so I'm going to the pet hospital for a visit!" He Dong directly grasped Lin Xuan's small hand that was waving at him and said softly.

  He Dong had almost completely devoted himself to pursuing Lin Xuan during this period, and he had almost forgotten about the Summoning Space. It wasn't until today when Lin Xuan brought up the Pet Hospital that he suddenly remembered what he had neglected. So he prepared to go take a look and earn some summoning points along the way.

  "Alright, go ahead! Business is urgent!" When the two were together, they often chattered and laughed. Lin Xuan sometimes even acted like a child, coquettishly teasing He Dong, but as soon as He Dong had something to attend to, Lin Xuan would immediately reveal her rational side.

  He lingered with Lin Xuan for a while, before He Dong reluctantly left. Even when he was walking alone in the campus, he suddenly felt a sense of loss.

  But this feeling was soon thrown to the back of his mind as he became vigilant and secretly alert, this gentle village was indeed a heroic grave, and yet after interacting with Lin Xiang for such a short time, he had already become somewhat entrapped.

  "It seems that I need to set a goal for myself! From now on, during the busiest season of the pet hospital on Saturdays and weekends, I must participate in the clinic. Even on ordinary days, I will make time to go and take a look, even if it's not for the sake of summoning points, but also to prevent my passion for struggle from being worn away!" He Dong made a secret decision.

  He Dong, lost in thought, didn't notice that he was being followed as soon as he left the campus.
