Building Up My Own CP
Lin Su did not have a car. This was his first time riding in a girl's car, a pink little mini Jeep that was quite cute.
"Assistant Lin, what kind of music do you like?" Mu Xiaomu tapped the screen.
Lin Su fastened his seat belt. His eyes were gentle as he looked at her and smiled. "Anything is fine. Just play whatever you like."
"No need to be so formal. Just call me by my name."
Mu Xiaomu stiffened, her cheeks flushing. She meant to press the left-turn signal but accidentally turned on the wipers instead. It startled her so badly that she did not dare step on the gas, and she hurriedly explained, "...No! I'm not an assassin! Please believe me!"
He paused slightly, then smiled gently again. "It's okay. Do you usually drive alone and aren't used to having someone sitting beside you?"
As he spoke, he unfastened his seat belt. "I'll sit in the back."
Mu Xiaomu stammered, "O-Okay..."
Oh my God, he was so gentle and considerate. He was practically a little angel, wasn't he?
Lin Su smiled as he opened the car door, only to spot a familiar figure.
Gu Lin stood beside the car, watching Lin Su chat and laugh with a woman, his expression gentle. The hand gripping the car door unconsciously tightened.
Who would have thought that upon seeing him, Lin Su would first smile in surprise and nod, then get into the car and drive away right in front of him?
Lin Su felt extremely uneasy as well. Only after that figure disappeared entirely from the rearview mirror did he withdraw his gaze.
He lowered his eyes, concealing the gloom within them as he suppressed the complicated emotions rising in his heart.
Why had he agreed to sign that contract in the first place? He had nearly gotten himself completely tangled up in it. His slender fingers pressed against his knee.
At least his mind was still clear. Gu Lin was not someone he could like.
This was reality. In reality, there was not only a difference in status between him and Gu Lin, but also the Gu Household.
If he continued entangling himself with Gu Lin, then given Old Master Gu's stature, Dream Home would suffer. They were merely the most ordinary people among the masses. What could they possibly use to contend against capital?
Knowing there was an abyss ahead, why jump into it? It would be better to return to his ordinary life.
At the end of the month, he would become a volunteer and enter the research institute to participate in the second clinical trial for Omega suppressants. With a professional team there, they would have ways to handle things even if he entered his heat.
Lin Su looked out the window, his gaze growing distant. This was enough. It would be best to withdraw early and return to the quiet life he had before.
The gentle-faced man in the rearview mirror was filled with worry. Mu Xiaomu had noticed the protagonist top just now as well. Sure enough, there was a problem between them!
Mu Xiaomu gripped the steering wheel, her eyes blazing as she stared ahead. This was when they needed a thoughtful little CP fan like her to give them a push!
Since it was still early, the two of them headed straight to Old Professor Eyeglasses. It had to be said that this eyewear shop was completely different from those outside. Though it was already after work, many people had come because of its reputation. The shop was packed, but they had arrived relatively early, so the number they received was fairly near the front.
By the time they finished the examination, more than an hour had passed. Lin Su slipped the ticket for picking up his glasses into his pocket, an apologetic look appearing on his gentle face. "Sorry for making you wait with me for so long."
Mu Xiaomu waved her hand. "It's okay, it's okay. Didn't you say you were treating me to dinner? I'm not losing out either."
Her bold, generous manner completely clashed with her delicate, sweet appearance, yet it made people unable to help but like her.
Ahem, purely platonic affection, that was all.
Lin Su smiled. "All right. What do you want to eat? It's on me."
"Can I eat anything?" Mu Xiaomu seemed a little embarrassed.
Lin Su thought she was worried about the price. "Is there a restaurant you want to go to?"
"Mhm!" Mu Xiaomu secretly curled her fingers, blinking her big eyes. "There's a quiet bar nearby. My coworkers said the cocktails there are good, and I've wanted to try them for a long time."
She looked a little dejected and said softly, "You know I'm an Omega. I don't really have any friends, and it's always unsafe to go alone."
"Lin Su, can you come with me?"
He was an Omega too. Even a place like a quiet bar was somewhere he naturally avoided if he could.
As if sensing that he was about to refuse, Mu Xiaomu pleaded, "Don't worry, quiet bars are very safe. We'll only have one drink."
"I heard they recently introduced a tequila cocktail. It's really good."
Lin Su froze, his red lips softly murmuring, "Tequila?"
"Mhm, mhm." Mu Xiaomu nodded repeatedly. Her delicate face looked pitiful, and her watery eyes were full of pleading.
As if possessed, he heard himself say a single word. "Okay."
Yes, perfect!
Mu Xiaomu almost wanted to jump up and give herself a thumbs-up. Actually, she had lied just now. She was not an Omega at all—she was a genuine Beta. Hehe, didn't expect that, did you? Neither had she.
Little Sweetheart Meets Love clearly stated that the female lead, Mu Xiaomu, was a top-tier Omega with a sweet orange scent. Perhaps her arrival as a butterfly had stirred things up and caused the entire world to change.
For example, the protagonist top and bottom had yet to publicly announce their sweet relationship, and there was an extra Han Jin, among other things.
The current world was more like a combination of two novels, yet the plot was developing beyond anyone's control.
No matter what, as long as the protagonist top and bottom's romance remained, then as the number one CP fan, she had to do her part to build it up!
Naturally, Lin Su had no idea what the girl before him was thinking. He simply followed her into the quiet bar.
It really was a very clean, tranquil bar. Aside from several musicians onstage, there were not many people in the establishment.
"See? I told you it was a quiet bar." This was the protagonist bottom, after all. She was not reckless enough to bring him somewhere chaotic.
In a place this quiet, no one should come hit on the protagonist bottom, right?
However, she had still thought things too simply.
