Villain: Starting by Suppressing the Protagonist and Stealing the Campus Belle

In her eyes, Su Lin was just a typical rich young master. Although smart, his cooking skills were questionable.

Su Lin and Xia Shiyu went into the kitchen. Xia Shiyu washed and prepared the vegetables, while Su Lin took charge of stir-frying.

Their coordination was a bit awkward at first, but after a period of adjustment, they became very skilled.

Xia Shiyu always managed to hand Su Lin whatever he needed the moment he thought of it.

"Sizzle~~~!!!"

As all the ingredients hit the wok, Su Lin stir-fried them a few times, and a fragrant aroma filled the air.

"Mmm~! It smells so good."

Xia Shiyu sniffed the air by the wok, her face full of delight. "Su Lin, your cooking is amazing. You can make even simple stir-fried green peppers with shredded pork smell this delicious."

Su Lin laughed heartily. "This is nothing. It's only impressive if I can make congee smell as good as you do."

"Su Lin, you're different from me."

Su Lin said seriously, "Xiao Yu, you're wrong. I'm just like you. I've always been the same."

Before his transmigration, Su Lin was also poor. He just happened to be born in a better era, so he didn't have to live as miserably as Xia Shiyu did.

Xia Shiyu stared blankly at Su Lin, then suddenly stepped forward and hugged him tightly.

"What's wrong, Xiao Yu?"

"Su Lin, I want to stay by your side forever. Please don't send me away, okay?" Xia Shiyu said somewhat cautiously.

Su Lin was taken aback. He put down the spatula and gently patted Xia Shiyu's head. "When have I ever wanted to send you away? Xiao Yu, don't scare yourself like that."

"But, you're definitely going to marry Xiao Wan in the future. When that happens, I..."

"You really are a little silly. Isn't it good for the three of us to always be together?" Su Lin ruffled Xia Shiyu's hair, his tone earnest.

"Mhm, mhm... Okay~!!"

"Huh? Su Lin, what did you just say?" Xia Shiyu asked, still a bit dazed.

Su Lin gently cupped Xia Shiyu's chin with his hand and looked at her affectionately. "I'm very greedy. I want both of you, you and Xiao Wan."

"Wuwu~!!!"

Xia Shiyu, caught off guard, was kissed by Su Lin. Their lips met, and they kissed.

It wasn't until the food in the wok started sizzling again that Su Lin let go of Xia Shiyu. "Sigh, thankfully I reacted quickly, or the food would have burned."

Released by Su Lin, Xia Shiyu finally had a chance to catch her breath. She stood to the side, panting heavily.

Seeing this, Su Lin shook his head. "Xiao Yu, you can't even breathe properly after a kiss. You need more practice."

Xia Shiyu's emotions were incredibly complex right now – a mix of happiness, nervousness, and sweetness.

She was stunned by Su Lin's sudden words, her face flushing. She then pressed the back of her hand to her cheek and looked at Su Lin. "Su Lin, you said you want both just now. Do you mean you like me too?"

Su Lin turned around, playfully flicked Xia Shiyu's nose, and nodded. "Xiao Yu, you're so beautiful, so cute, and so understanding. How could I not like you?"

"Heh heh~!! I'm not as good as you say I am." Xia Shiyu covered her face with her hands, giggling foolishly.

"You're even better than I say."

"But Xiao Wan..."

Su Lin gently tapped Xia Shiyu's forehead. "When you're alone with me, don't mention other women. Don't you remember?"

"Ooh, ooh~!!"

Seeing Xia Shiyu's dazed expression, Su Lin found her incredibly cute and pinched her cheek again. "You know, you'd help someone count money even if they were selling you."

"I wouldn't! I'd only help you count money."

"Heh heh~! Tidy up, it's time to eat."

"Okay~!!"

Su Lin was surprised by how adorable Xia Shiyu was after her affection level maxed out, and he felt even more tender towards her.

He knew that when Xia Shiyu was with him and Lin Xiaowan, she lacked confidence.

Su Lin was young, wealthy, handsome, academically gifted, and had a great personality. In Xia Shiyu's eyes, he was a perfect man.

Lin Xiaowan was no less impressive, being beautiful, elegant, from a good family, knowledgeable, gentle, and generous.

Compared to them, Xia Shiyu felt she was lacking. The disparity in their family backgrounds made her feel inferior, and she didn't dare to compete with Lin Xiaowan. She believed Su Lin and Lin Xiaowan were a perfect match.

When Su Lin said he wanted both just now, her first reaction wasn't anger, but happiness.

She was happy that Su Lin liked her.

As for what happened that night when she was drunk, Xia Shiyu felt it was just an accident.

After all, Su Lin hadn't made any intimate moves towards her that night.

If Su Lin knew Xia Shiyu's thoughts, he would have loudly told her that it wasn't like that; she just hadn't had the opportunity.

Usually, the three of them were inseparable. Since Lin Xiaowan and Xia Shiyu's affection levels hadn't reached their maximum, Su Lin wouldn't dare to act rashly.

What if I scare away the beauty?

But things are different now, her affection is maxed out.

"Xiao Yu, you don't need to compare yourself to anyone else. You're already wonderful as you are, and I really like you, you know?"

"Su Lin, you don't think I'm a burden, do you?"

Su Lin burst out laughing; "If you're a burden like this, I'm happy to carry you."

"Heh, Su Lin, you're so kind."

Su Lin pursed his lips, a wry smile on his face.

Could he really be considered a good person?

He definitely wasn't a good person.

From the moment he met Xia Shiyu and Lin Xiaowan, it was all about manipulation.

Ye Feng, please stop calling me, I'm afraid Su Lin will misunderstand [Seeking Subscriptions]

At first, he was purely pursuing them with a womanizing mindset.

It was only after some time, with both girls being so excellent and wonderful, that he genuinely fell for them.

However, Su Lin didn't care about that. As long as the outcome was what he wanted, the process was bound to have some bumps.

"Xiao Yu, you don't think I'm greedy, do you?"

"Hehe, I allow you to be greedy."

In the restaurant, Su Lin and Xia Shiyu sat side-by-side, very close to each other.

Su Lin thoughtfully picked up a few bites of food and placed them in Xia Shiyu's bowl: "Try the dishes I made, how do they taste."

"Mmm-hmm!!"

"Delicious, Su Lin, your cooking is truly delicious, even better than mine." Xia Shiyu said as she ate.

Her cheeks were puffed out, making her look particularly cute.

"Heh, if it's delicious, eat more. It's your birthday, and I don't cook that often. Who knows when you'll get to eat my cooking again after this meal." Su Lin said with a smile.

"Heehee!! It's okay, I'll cook for you in the future."

Su Lin ruffled Xia Shiyu's hair: "Don't eat so fast, there's still cake. We have to blow out candles and make a wish soon."

"It's just that your cooking is too good. Su Lin, do you cook at home every day?"

Su Lin shook his head: "No."

"Ah, then it must be talent. My dad used to say I had a talent for cooking, but compared to you, it's nothing."

As she spoke, Xia Shiyu's mood seemed to dip. "Actually, when I was little, my dad often celebrated my birthday with me. But after my mom passed away, he became much more withdrawn."

"Mmm, my mom also passed away early. But my dad is different. He has his career. After my mom left, he needed to realize his life's value through his work."

"Mhm, Uncle Su must be a very capable person."

"Heh, he's not as capable as me."

"You're the most capable."

"Of course, I'm definitely the most capable."

"Hehe!!"

After dinner, Su Lin took Xia Shiyu to eat cake and blow out candles.

Xia Shiyu wore a cardboard crown on her head, and Su Lin held her half-embraced. She clasped her hands together: "I wish..."

"Whoosh~~!"

"What did Xiao Yu wish for?"

"I'm not telling you. You can't say your wish out loud, or it won't come true," Xia Shiyu said with a serious expression.
