Xu Lin just felt that Chi Linyue might not be wearing underwear, because if she was, there would be traces.

This made Xu Lin really wonder if she was tempting him.

But on second thought, Xu Lin realized he was probably overthinking it. He was just feeling a bit heated; after all, as a young man full of vigor, the last time he was with a girl was Tuesday night, with Ning Yuhuan, and it's been two days since. He's itching for some action.

"Let me see what's going on!"

[You don't think she's trying to seduce you, do you?]

Xu Lin: ...

Never mind.

Xu Lin continued to look at the computer screen. Seeing too many women becomes dull after a while; you can't touch them, it's just a bother.

About ten minutes later.

"Xu Lin, I'm going to take a bath first!" Chi Linyue got up.

With that, Chi Linyue took her clothes and went into the bathroom. Her room had a bathroom, and soon, the sound of running water came from it. Xu Lin, feeling curious, wondered how long Chi Linyue would take to bathe. Like Ning Yuhuan, it took less than twenty minutes. Rong Xiyi took at least forty minutes.

So he opened the stopwatch on his phone and started timing.

Thirty minutes, forty minutes, an hour...

One hour and twenty minutes.

Then, there was the sound of a hairdryer.

So she was washing her hair as well.

And the hairdryer worked for another thirty-three minutes.

Just like that, almost two hours passed.

It was almost eleven at night.

Xu Lin was quite bored, having finished chatting with Ranzhi long ago. Chi Linyue's desktop computer was not for gaming, so Xu Lin could only type. He typed over thirty thousand words in an hour, and Chi Linyue came out a few minutes later.

Xu Lin looked back to see her wearing a golden spaghetti strap nightdress, barefoot. The nightdress revealed her shoulders, part of her back and clavicle, and part of her V-shaped area, while the hem just reached a bit down from her thighs, with long legs below.

Alluring charm!

"Were you typing just now?"

Chi Linyue combed her fragrant long hair. She had heard the clicking of the keyboard from outside while in the bathroom.

"Typing."

"When will it be published? I'll buy a set of physical books to collect when it is."

"The physical book rights haven't been released yet. It'll probably come out after it's finished."

Xu Lin hadn't asked Ranzhi about it, but he reckoned the physical book rights for his book should be easily granted.

"When will it be finished?"

"Mid-December, probably soon."

"What about afterward?"

"Afterward what?"

"Will you keep writing?" Chi Linyue walked over and sat on the bed.

"I'm transitioning, after all. Might stop writing, it's too draining. Besides, I find writing books not interesting. It's just a label for a hobby, but going out in the world, I can't just stick to this label. Now I'm transitioning to writing songs, temporarily as a music producer, but I probably won't stay in this industry for long, probably just a while."

Xu Lin thought that as his tasks continued, anything was possible. He might experience many intriguing industries, depending on what rewards come up, and consider developing in that area.

"Feel like you're just playing around. Others, as skilled as you, would probably deeply invest in this industry long-term. Besides, now, just one book, with rights worth tens of millions, it's foreseeable you'll become a famous writer."

Chi Linyue laughed, "You're the only one who's a bit capricious, writing just one book and you're off."

"It's not really that great."

As someone who cheats, there's nothing much to be proud of, but if life can have more exciting experiences, Xu Lin thinks that's a future worth expecting.

Life is all about experiences!

After chatting with Chi Linyue for another ten minutes, Xu Lin felt it was getting late, "I'll go back to wash up and sleep."

"Mhm, rest early."

"Rest early."

Xu Lin then left Chi Linyue's room.

A quiet night passed uneventfully.

Time reached seven in the morning the next day.

Chi Linyue, wearing cotton slippers, pushed the door open, intending to wake Xu Lin.

Weren't they supposed to discuss the rights today?

Upon entering the room, Chi Linyue noticed the abnormal state of Xu Lin's blanket.

It's said that in the morning, guys will...

Out of curiosity, she lifted the blanket slightly, which startled her.

Xu Lin hadn't worn clothes to sleep last night, so everything was in full view.

Chi Linyue blushed, quickly restoring the blanket to its original state.

Aside from in certain movies, this was her first time seeing a man's body in reality.

Chi Linyue composed her emotions, then gently nudged Xu Lin's shoulder.

"Xu Lin?"

"Mm?"

Xu Lin opened his eyes.

"Get up early, let's go grab breakfast."

"Ok."

"I'll go change clothes first."

With that, Chi Linyue left the room. Xu Lin sat up from bed, paused a moment, then got up to dress simply, and went into the bathroom to wash up. He then changed into the suit he bought the day before.

Xu Lin looked in the mirror and was quite satisfied.

Over on Chi Linyue's side, she didn't come out until over ten minutes later.

She had come to wake Xu Lin wearing the nightdress from last night, but now was in a white long dress, the hem reaching midway between the knee and calf, wearing flesh-colored stockings under it, and wearing a black coat over, which was shorter than the dress.

This coat was the same style as yesterday's white coat.

Additionally, she'd put on earrings and a necklace, luxury items from some brand Xu Lin didn't know, giving off a noble aura of glitter, undoubtedly expensive.

When Chi Linyue emerged, she saw Xu Lin adjusting his tie, noticing his full appearance. With his slim, tall stature, handsome face, and dragon-like temperament, she couldn't help but have her eyes light up.

Indeed, at this moment, Xu Lin fulfilled every girl's fantasy of a handsome man.

Xu Lin saw Chi Linyue coming out of the room and looked over.

"Do I look good?"

Chi Linyue spun around in place. As she twirled, her dress hem and long hair floated, so beautifully that for a moment it felt like a dream.

Xu Lin smiled slightly, "Gracious she returns like the spring wind, elegant as Lady Yu with her uplifted arms."

"Men of letters are different, always ready with poetry in their speech."

Chi Linyue smiled, coming before Xu Lin to adjust his tie.

"If I had met you in college, I might have pursued you."

Chi Linyue looked up at Xu Lin, their eyes meeting, his sword-like brows and phoenix eyes captivating.

Some handsome men have sword-shaped brows and starry eyes, but Xu Lin had sword-shaped brows and phoenix eyes, with a bit of feminine charm, yet other features were sharp, making his profile a mix of softness and strength.

"It's not too late now."

"Now won't do; I'm too old, like an old cow eating tender grass."

"These days, older woman-younger man relationships are quite trendy."

"Hmph, wishful thinking!"

Chi Linyue finished adjusting Xu Lin's tie, and slightly fixed his hairstyle too.

Xu Lin's hairstyle today was a three-seven parted side-back, with bangs to the right, suiting him well.

Then she inspected Xu Lin from all angles, front and back.

"That's good!"

Chi Linyue was very satisfied, "Let's go out and grab a simple breakfast!"

She was wearing high heels today, and since she was wearing stockings, she didn't mind the cold.

The rhythmic sound of her high heels gave a feeling that, even without seeing her, you'd know this woman must be very elegant.
