I Really Didn’t Want to Increase My Favorability! - Chapter 107

Chapter 107

Xu Lin helped Father Bai solve his urination problem and carefully placed him on the pillow. Alright, Xiao Xu, go wash your hands first, I can lie down by myself.

Ill be right back after washing my hands. You just lie down, Xu Lin said.

As Xu Lin walked away, he glanced at his hands. He had never taken care of someone so meticulously in his life. If you dont become my father-in-law, I wont be happy!

With that thought, Xu Lin headed towards the bathroom, only to find that Ji Yun and Bai Xiaoxiao were nowhere to be seen. He hurried to the bathroom, washed his hands, and then took out his phone.

He was about to call Ji Yun to ask where they had gone when he noticed that Ji Yun had sent him a WeChat message.

Wife Ji: I took senior sister Bai to buy something. Dont worry, take care of Uncle.

Buy something? Why would Ji Yun buy something for Bai Xiaoxiao? They dont seem to know each other at all.

Especially Bai Xiaoxiao, who seems even more introverted than he was in middle school, yet she trusts, Ji Yun, a stranger, so much and runs off with her.

No wonder Ji Yun is the class monitor, shes so friendly and trustworthy. No wonder she can be my wife.

But if these two sisters get along well, its a good thing for me, after all, they will be living together in the future~ Hehehe.

Cough, could you let me go first?

At this moment, a 7 or 8-year-old boy walked in from outside and, seeing the lewd smile on Xu Lins face, hesitated to come in.

Hey, kid, come here!

No! Im not coming! With that, he turned and ran down the hallway.

Uh Xu Lin speechlessly walked out, then saw a sink across the hall, where a young female doctor in a white coat was washing her hands.

Through the mirror from afar, he saw a slightly weary face, a hand resting on her forehead, partially covering her face, giving the impression of half-hiding. Her slender almond-shaped eyes, coupled with thin eyebrows, were enough to leave a lasting impression.

Xu Lin didnt linger too much, after all, dealing with this group of girls was enough to give him a headache, so he turned to leave. But out of the corner of his eye, he saw her sway and collapse!

He hurried forward, supporting her, and then heard her murmur, Theres candy in my pocket.

Oh, here you go, let me help you over to the side first. Xu Lin also realized that she must be experiencing low blood sugar, probably because she hadnt eaten anything at noon. It seems that being a doctor isnt as easy as he had imagined.

Supporting her to a plastic chair in the corridor, he felt around her pocket and found a piece of chocolate with its wrapper torn open but not finished. Then he noticed her holding her head, looking dazed. He simply shoved the chocolate into her mouth.

She directly opened her somewhat pale lips and took a bite, then he felt a sharp pain in his finger.

Uh!

Sorry Sorry! She also snapped out of it, quickly releasing her mouth and only hooking the chocolate into it with her tongue.

After a dozen seconds, she chewed off the chocolate, her pale face returning to its rosy hue, slowly opening her eyes.

The moment she opened her eyes, he was momentarily stunned, as if his soul had been hooked. Her slender willow-like eyes seemed to contain a river of spring water, complemented by disheveled hair at the temples, a slightly lazy posture.

He simply couldnt resist the temptation anymore; he suddenly felt that those who sold their bodies were too vulgar! Vulgar beyond tolerance, this was what true charm looked like.

But he, Xu Lin, was after all a guardian of the Chinese zodiac signs (self-proclaimed). Having seen so many beautiful ladies, how could he be enchanted?

He cleared his throat and put on a gentlemanly demeanor. Miss Doctor, you should rest first, Ill leave.

Thank you, she raised her head and softly replied, as Xu Lin walked away in the distance.

However, because he was still worried, he took three steps and looked back. Only after confirming that she was fine did he finally enter the hospital room.

But as soon as Xu Lin walked away, the angel in white hurriedly rubbed her eyes and muttered to herself.

Really, I forgot to bring my glasses. Luckily there was a kind-hearted person. Otherwise, with my high myopia and low blood sugar, I wouldnt be able to handle it.

But I couldnt see clearly just now, oh well, its time to get back to work.

Xiao Xu is back. There are apples over there, already washed. What about Xiaoxiao?

Xiaoxiao was taken by Ji Yun, the girl who came with me, to buy some things. Uncle, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly.Finndd the new𝒆st 𝒏ovels on n/𝒐/velbin(.)com

No worries. Xiao Xu, dont blame me for being nosy, but are you and that girl in a romantic relationship?

No, during high school, when we should be studying seriously for the college entrance exams, we cant afford to slack off. After a full day of classes, with piles of homework waiting, how can we have time for romance?

Xu Lin also maintained the image of a good student, leaving Father Bai feeling a bit embarrassed. With such excellent academic performance, early romance seemed unlikely, and he realized he had been overly concerned.

But as soon as the other party went to the bathroom for two minutes, he lay on the bed and thought a lot. With his daughters excellent grades, she would undoubtedly have a bright future ahead.

In university, she could also meet many boys from big cities, get married, and maybe become a city dweller herself.

However, having been around for so many years, he knows that more important than someones background is their character. With having only one daughter, he doesnt want her to suffer.

So, he suddenly felt that Xu Lin, who had good academic performance and a good personality, from a kind family, wasnt a bad choice.

But at this moment, he was just thinking. Maybe the other party didnt even have that intention, and bringing it up would only be embarrassing.

Even if they did, his family is currently facing difficulties. Trying to matchmake now would not only risk affecting the academic pursuits of both children but also, it would seem like taking advantage and holding them back.

He, Bai Ruishan, couldnt do that. He had worked hard all his life, earning and spending honestly. He couldnt reach such a point even in his old age.

At this point, Xu Lin didnt know what his father-in-law was thinking. He continued, Uncle, are you planning to continue with the renovation works after recovering?

Im only familiar with that. I dont know anything else. But the pay is decent, so Ill continue.

Actually, I have a job here. Would you and Auntie be willing to do it?

Auntie? Auntie is not suitable. With her physique, she can only sit around now, maybe cook a meal at most. She cant handle strenuous work anymore.

No, its a sitting job.

A sitting job? Like selling things? But you cant sit around all day.

Father Bai looked puzzled, unable to figure out what kind of sitting job it could be. Office work? With just primary school education, how could she manage?

I asked senior sister Bai the other day. She said when you came to Linshui, you used to sell spicy hot pot?

Yes, to be honest, the income was decent. After all, our secret recipe is very good. But because we had to use the local chili peppers, the cost went up.

If you think the earnings were too little, you wouldnt continue it. Otherwise, it could have been alright. Xiao Xu, if youre thinking of having us work at a spicy hot pot stall, its not feasible. The earnings would be too low.

No, Im thinking of investing in a spicy hot pot shop myself and having Auntie and you as the managers.

Opening a restaurant requires a large investment, its not feasible! There are so many spicy hot pot places already; itll be difficult for us to stand out! Plus, the cost of the storefront wont be recouped any time soon.

Dont worry, Ill take care of the investment and cover your salaries. Each month, you and Auntie will each get 4k, with bonuses based on performance.

Please, no, with such a big investment in opening a shop, absolutely not! And dont trouble your parents either. Your Uncle Bai still has some money; its no problem for me to cover Aunties medical expenses.

I wont use my parents money, I have my own. You can rest assured.

Youre just a child, where did you get the money from?

I earned it by writing novels. Dont doubt it, what I write is quite popular online. Although I dont earn that much, opening a shop is feasible.

Moreover, by opening the store and you working for me, its also my way of earning money. Give me a chance to try, okay? Dont you trust me? Or do you think I cant afford to pay the salaries?

Xu Lin also joked with a smile, and Father Bai sighed lightly.

If you think its okay, Ill work with you for a while. Its fine for me since my health can still manage some physical work.

But 4k is too much. If I work, Ill barely make 150 a day. There isnt work every day either. Just pay me 3k, and your Auntie can handle the cashier. You can give her 500 or 1k.

No, that wont do.

Listen to me, otherwise I wont go. Father Bai grabbed his wrist with the hand that wasnt receiving the IV, staring into his eyes.

Alright, lets go with that for now.

Xu Lin understood that the other party also had their own dignity. Now that its settled, he needed to quickly make some money and start preparing!
