Chapter 9

"Big Clumsy~~" A girl's sweet shout echoed, and Lin Yinlu, who was taking a walk, stopped in his tracks.

However, he then wanted to leave quickly, not wanting to face the girl behind him.

"Hey~~ Big Clumsy, why are you running? Stop~~" After pausing for a moment, Lin Yinlu sped up, clearly not wanting to face the girl behind him.

"Tap tap tap~~" Hearing the disordered footsteps behind him, Lin Yinlu could tell that it wasn't just one person chasing him, but at least two.

Moreover, it was very likely that the girl he most feared to see was among them.

"Hey, Lin Yinlu, if you don't stop, I'll shout and announce your glorious deeds, making everyone on the street know your embarrassing stories!!" The girl chasing Lin Yinlu, seeing she couldn't catch up, shouted loudly.

Hearing this, Lin Yinlu's steps decisively stopped.

"Tap tap tap~~" A series of footsteps approached. Lin Yinlu wanted to leave but couldn't, so he stood there with a bitter smile.

"Hey, why do you run when you hear it's me?" The girl who caught up glared at Lin Yinlu.

She was a very slim and pretty girl, with two adorable cheeks that looked like stir-fried rice cakes. It was clear that she would definitely be a charming beauty in the future.

Of course, the heavens were fair. They gave her a delicate face, but also a very slim figure, lacking the curves of a well-endowed body, only a flat runway.

"Because I don't want to see you, Lin Yun'er~~" Lin Yinlu glared at the girl named Lin Yun'er with no good humor.

"How can you be shopping with her now? Isn't this the time for your skin to regenerate?" Lin Yinlu turned and looked at the girl who was being pulled by Lin Yun'er.

This girl, though not as pretty as Lin Yun'er, seemed a bit hard to communicate with. However, she was a very innocent little girl. Unlike Lin Yun'er's mischievous eyes, her eyes were very beautiful, like black pearls.

Her slightly chubby face added to her cuteness. She was about the same height as Lin Yun'er, but her figure was much better, making her stand out among girls of her age.

"Lin Yinlu xi~~ Long time no see!" The girl Lin Yinlu was looking at blushed slightly, looking very cute and charming.

"Hey, Lin Yinlu, you actually ignore me when I ask you a question. You know, I'm four months older than you, so you should call me 'nuna'!" Lin Yun'er, feeling ignored, looked like a puffed-up kitten.

"Whatever, I don't care!" Lin Yinlu said, then looked at the other girl again, "Xu Zhuxian xi, after knowing each other for so many years, you still can't bring yourself to call me 'oppa'?"

"Mom says to be polite, and the nickname 'oppa' can only be used by very close people!" The girl called Xu Zhuxian answered in a very serious manner.

"Whatever~~ It's boring!" Lin Yinlu said, then put his hands behind his head and continued his aimless stroll.

"Hey~~ Lin Yinlu, this is the third time you've ignored me tonight. Do you believe I'll really say it?" Lin Yun'er, feeling angry, called out and then pulled Xu Zhuxian to follow.

"Go ahead, with your big crocodile mouth, I bet all the trainees in S.M. who know you already know about me!!" Lin Yinlu knew Lin Yun'er very well;

And Xu Zhuxian was the same. The three of them, plus Li Xianlong, were from the same elementary school.

Lin Yinlu, Lin Yun'er, and Li Xianlong were in the same class from first grade until junior high school, when they finally separated.

Naturally, Xu Zhuxian also knew them, and it wasn't just a simple acquaintance.

"Uh~~" Lin Yun'er was speechless, unable to respond to Lin Yinlu's words.

"Ha ha~~" Xu Zhuxian, standing beside her, covered her mouth and giggled softly.

She and Lin Yun'er were both S.M. trainees and had grown up together, so she naturally understood Lin Yun'er's personality.

"Really, if you know me so well, why don't you be my boyfriend?" Lin Yun'er, feeling frustrated, mumbled softly.

"No interest!!" Lin Yinlu curled his lips, showing his disdain for Lin Yun'er.

"Hey~~ Can't you at least hesitate before refusing me? How many times has this happened?" Lin Yun'er felt like crying. How could this guy be so heartless? She had expressed her feelings so many times, but he still didn't care. It was too cruel.

"What about you? When she refused me, it was even more hurtful than when I refused you!" Lin Yinlu, seeing Lin Yun'er's state, felt a bit sorry for her and then compared her to Xu Zhuxian.

"Ha ha~~" Lin Yun'er, hearing this, indeed felt happier.

"Lin Yinlu xi~ Mom says that dating before adulthood is just being a hooligan!" Xu Zhuxian sternly educated Lin Yinlu.

"I~~" Lin Yinlu was speechless with anger.

"See, I was only able to refuse you so confidently because I was educated by Xu Zhuxian. When she stops doing that and stops refusing me, I can agree to be your boyfriend!" Lin Yinlu said to Lin Yun'er beside him.

"No, if Xiao Xian agrees to you, and you agree to me, then...?" Yun'er widened her cute deer-like eyes in surprise, "Are you going to have two girlfriends?"

"Bang~~" As soon as Yun'er finished speaking, Lin Yinlu gave her a light tap on the head.

"What's wrong? Isn't that what you meant?" Yun'er pouted, feeling wronged.

"So what if it is? Even if you know, don't say it in front of Xiao Xian. If she knows I'm a bad guy, how can she agree to me? If she doesn't agree to me, how can I agree to be your boyfriend, little fool!" Lin Yinlu scolded Lin Yun'er fiercely.

"Oh~~ I'm sorry!!" The confused girl actually agreed, completely unaware of the deeper meaning in Lin Yinlu's words.

"Yun'er nuna~~" Xu Zhuxian, who had noticed, wanted to remind her nuna but was distracted by Lin Yinlu's words.

"Wow, it's roasted sweet potatoes! They look so fragrant!" Lin Yinlu said, pretending to be entranced.

Sure enough, Xu Zhuxian, upon hearing this, her usually serious face became excited and nostalgic.

Lin Yinlu glanced sideways and chuckled to himself: Little girl, you think you can compete with me? Even if you were as old as Quan Zhenhe, I could still handle you, let alone you two little kids.

By saying this, he completely forgot that he was the same age as them.

Mentioning sweet potatoes, Xu Zhuxian quickly pulled Lin Yinlu and Lin Yun'er towards the roasted sweet potato stand.

"Xu Zhuxian xi, please don't hold the hand of a boy who has rejected you many times. It makes me feel very awkward, not knowing whether to let go or not!" Lin Yinlu, seeing his hand being held by Xu Zhuxian, felt a bit secretly pleased.

The relationship between Lin Yinlu, Xu Zhuxian, and Lin Yun'er was a bit complicated. Lin Yinlu had confessed to Xu Zhuxian but was rejected multiple times.

Lin Yun'er had also confessed to Lin Yinlu but was also rejected multiple times.

"To make up for pulling your hand without your consent, Lin Yinlu xi, I'll treat you to roasted sweet potatoes as an apology, okay?" Xu Zhuxian, realizing she was holding a boy's hand, quickly let go as if it were a hot potato. Her eyes were welling up, as if a heavy rain was about to fall.

"Hmph, I don't care~" Lin Yinlu was speechless with anger.

"Hehe~" Lin Yun'er, seeing this, stepped forward and linked her arm with Lin Yinlu's, saying, "I want to eat stir-fried rice cakes, I'm tired of roasted sweet potatoes!"

Xu Zhuxian, seeing her nuna naturally linking arms with a boy, felt a bit strange and had an inexplicable aversion.

"Don't eat spicy, fried, or cold foods if you have a weak stomach!" Lin Yinlu, looking at the little glutton Lin Yun'er, reminded her.

"But they're delicious?" Yun'er hugged Lin Yinlu's arm and shook it, putting on a cute and coquettish face.

"Is it more important to enjoy the taste or to avoid the pain of a stomachache?" Lin Yinlu ignored her coquettishness and continued.

"Oh~~ I understand, I'll be more careful in the future!" Lin Yun'er, seeing it wouldn't work, had to agree verbally.

"Lin Yinlu xi~" Xu Zhuxian was interrupted by Lin Yinlu.

"Can't you just drop the 'xi' and call me 'oppa'?" Lin Yinlu's words were full of dissatisfaction, which Xu Zhuxian and Lin Yun'er both noticed.
