Villain: Starting by Suppressing the Protagonist and Snatching the Campus Belle Section 23

Xia Shiyu took the contract and signed it without even looking.

"Aren't you going to read the contents of the contract? This is your work contract, and it details all your future work. Aren't you afraid I'll sell you off?" Su Lin raised an eyebrow.

"Sell me off? I don't think I'm worth 600,000 even if you did," Xia Shiyu said sweetly, "As for the work content, you can just tell me later."

After Su Lin, considerate of her pride, produced the IOU, she knew she would never be able to leave this man in front of her.

"Heh, what if this is a contract to warm my bed at night?"

"Hee hee~! Then I'll warm your bed every day."

"Uh..."

Su Lin ruffled Xia Shiyu's hair. "Silly girl."

"I'm not silly, you're the silly one," Xia Shiyu pouted.

"Still saying you're not silly. Investing 80,000 yuan and losing it all," Su Lin teased.

"This will be the only wrong investment I ever make in my life," Xia Shiyu said seriously.

Thinking of how Ye Feng had confidently told her it was a sure thing and that she'd make money, Xia Shiyu wished she could slap herself. She didn't know what had gotten into her to believe Ye Feng's nonsense.

Su Lin nodded. "I believe you. You've learned your lesson. I'm sure Xiao Yu won't find herself in such an awkward situation during her next investment."

"Heh, what am I going to invest in? I'll just work hard for you from now on."

Su Lin smiled without saying anything. He knew she had plenty of opportunities to invest in the future. Su Lin knew how strong her business talent was. She could easily manage a trillion-dollar group on her own. It was just how overpowered the female leads in novels were.

"Alright, it's all signed." Su Lin picked up the contract. "One for each of us. Starting today, you're one of my workers."

"So, boss, what should I do now?" Xia Shiyu asked Su Lin with a sweet smile.

With her father's surgery resolved, Xia Shiyu felt like a heavy burden had been lifted, and she was much more relaxed. She had never truly let go and had been living under immense pressure, even despair. Especially when Ye Feng told her all the investment money was lost, she had truly felt like dying. But thinking of her father still lying in the hospital bed, she could only force herself to hold on. It wasn't until Su Lin appeared and did some 'accidental' things to her that she realized. She realized that there was not only family in this world but also love. And his love had appeared at some point.

"You don't have to worry about Uncle Xia's surgery anymore. Want to celebrate?" Su Lin suggested.

Xia Shiyu nodded. "Okay! I don't have class tomorrow anyway, so let's celebrate."

"But it's so late, how should we celebrate?"

Su Lin burst out laughing. "We have everything at home except for a lack of cigarettes and alcohol. Wait here, I'll go get them."

Seeing Su Lin run off excitedly, Xia Shiyu also felt a sense of anticipation. Having been in the villa for a while, Xia Shiyu finally had the mood to look around at Su Lin's home furnishings. The villa Su Lin lived in was a typical duplex with a yard and a garage. In the living room, besides the sofa, there was an ancient-looking painting on the wall. Although Xia Shiyu didn't understand it, she could tell it was no ordinary item. It was likely the handwriting of some ancient master. The villa's decor was a bit old-fashioned, with cool tones, but Xia Shiyu didn't feel stifled. On the contrary, she found the decor very retro and stylish in a unique way. However, Xia Shiyu's gaze was quickly drawn to the coffee table beside her. Under the coffee table were many photos, most of them from Su Lin's childhood. They looked very cute.

"Xiao Yu..."

"Xiao Yu, what are you doing, so engrossed?"

"Hehe, Su Lin, I didn't realize you were so cute when you were little."

Su Lin followed Xia Shiyu's gaze and saw a child in the photo, about five or six years old, riding a small wooden horse, wearing a cape, and holding a wooden sword, looking like a general going off to battle.

"Uh... this was taken at a photo studio a while back."

"Heh heh, so cute."

As she spoke, Xia Shiyu pinched Su Lin's cheek. "It's a shame, your face used to be so chubby, but now you've gotten so thin."

"It's normal to get thinner," Su Lin grabbed Xia Shiyu's hand, stopping her from pinching him further.

"Let me pinch a few more times. You just pinched my face, and I let you."

"Cough, cough..."

Drunk [Seeking flowers and votes]

Inside the villa.

At this moment, Su Lin deeply regretted suggesting they celebrate.

Watching Xia Shiyu clutching a wine bottle, her face flushed red, her eyes hazy, and swaying as if she might fall over at any moment, Su Lin felt a headache coming on.

He hadn't expected this girl to be so bad at drinking.

"Just now, when I saw her drinking, she downed a whole cup in one go. I thought she could hold her liquor, but now she's about to start doing the Drunken Fist."

Xia Shiyu waved her small hands, cheerfully saying, "Su Lin, Su Lin, come drink! Why are you just standing there?"

Su Lin shook his head. "Xiao Yu, you're already drunk. You shouldn't drink anymore. It's best to get some rest."

Xia Shiyu hugged the wine bottle and shouted like a possessive puppy, "No, Su Lin, we agreed! You have to drink with me until I'm happy today."

"You have no idea, I almost jumped into the river today. I almost died."

"If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't want to live right now."

Looking at Xia Shiyu like this, Su Lin sighed. He was undeniably responsible for her becoming this way.

However, Su Lin didn't regret it.

Speaking of which, he and Ye Feng had no real enmity.

But there was no helping it. Their positions were different. It wasn't about grudges, but simply because their positions differed, he was bound to suppress Ye Feng. If necessary in the future, he might even have to get rid of Ye Feng.

"Su Lin, drink with me~!!"

Seeing Xia Shiyu's drunken, charming, and adorable appearance, Su Lin's heart softened. "Alright, alright, I'll drink with you. We'll drink until we're happy today."

"Yeah, Su Lin, you're the best! I love you."

"Mua~!!!"

"Hee hee~! Drink."

Su Lin touched his cheek where Xia Shiyu had kissed him, still carrying a faint scent of alcohol.

"You little rascal, I wonder if you'll be so embarrassed you die when you wake up tomorrow and remember all this."

"Come on, Su Lin, drink."

"Alright, alright, I'm drinking."

Saying that, Su Lin took a big gulp from the wine glass Xia Shiyu handed him.

"This damn body strengthening. Now I can't even get drunk from drinking."

Su Lin drank quite a bit with Xia Shiyu, and it was all rapid drinking, but he didn't feel the slightest bit tipsy.

This was torture for him. Xia Shiyu was being so rowdy now, clinging to him. He was, after all, a young man in his prime.

"Heh heh, Su Lin, come drink."

"Alright, alright~! Let's drink."

He accompanied Xia Shiyu's antics until midnight, finally ending the farce.

Xia Shiyu clung to Su Lin like a sloth, her hands tightly gripping his neck.

Her legs were wrapped around his waist.

Su Lin, holding Xia Shiyu with one arm, walked towards the upper floor.
