Suppressing the Protagonist in the Start to Seize the Heroine-Chapter 57: Lin Xiaowan’s Complaint

Su Lin and Xia Shiyu spent a delightful night together. For Xia Shiyu, it was her first time experiencing what is known as a verbal expression of gratitude.

Waking up early in the morning, a habit she had developed from her long vigils at the hospital, Xia Shiyu gazed at Su Lin, who was still asleep beside her. She softly traced her fingers over his face, recalling the previous nights events and hurriedly buried her head in the blanket.

Although she hadnt fully transformed from a girl into a woman, in Xia Shiyus view, what Su Lin had her do felt even more intimate.

Oh no, Ive totally fallen for him. Being with Su Lin makes me lose all my intelligence, she whispered to herself, half in complaint, half in amusement. Xia Shiyu, youre so silly. Whatever Su Lin asks, you just do.

Despite her quiet self-reproach, her eyes sparkled with joy, and she couldnt suppress the smile on her lips. Xia Shiyu gently pinched Su Lins nose and softly said, Su Lin, I might have troubled you this time. On your 18th birthday, Ill make it up to you.

Thats a promise, Xiaoyu~!!! Su Lin suddenly responded, startling her.

Youre awake! she exclaimed, quickly withdrawing her hand.

Su Lin, amused, replied, How could I not wake up when youre pinching my nose like that?

Sorry I always wanted to pinch your nose but never got the chance. I couldnt resist today

Su Lin playfully pinched Xia Shiyus nose in return, No problem, my nose is all yours to pinch. Its natural and wont break no matter how you pinch it.

The two shared a loving look, followed by a burst of giggles.

Lets get up; we have classes today, Su Lin said.

Okay~! What would you like for breakfast, Su Lin? Tell me, and Ill make it for you.

Su Lin shook his head, Lets skip cooking today. We dont have much at home anyway. Lets eat out.

Xia Shiyu was about to get up but then glanced at Su Lin and paused, clutching the blanket tightly.

Understanding her shyness, Su Lin said, Ill get you some toiletries first.

Do you have spare toiletries here?

Yes, I bought them last time you stayed over.

Su Lin, youre so good.

You keep saying Im good and then bad. So, am I good or bad? Su Lin teased.

Ah, when youre serious, youre particularly good, but when youre not, youre especially bad, Xia Shiyu playfully chided Su Lin.

Which do you prefer then, my serious side or my mischievous side? Su Lin inquired with a smile.

Xia Shiyu glanced at Su Lin and then averted her gaze, I like both.

Seeing her reaction, Su Lin smiled contentedly, knowing that she was easily teased. He then got out of bed and started getting dressed. Xia Shiyu watched him leave, a sweet smile once again gracing her lips.

After they both got ready downstairs, Xia Shiyu asked, Su Lin, should we wait for your driver?

Su Lin shook his head, I already messaged Uncle Liu yesterday when I brought you here. He wont be coming today.

Ah! Then how will we get to school? she wondered.

Pointing to himself, Su Lin replied, I can drive, remember?

But isnt it a bit too much to drive your car to school? Xia Shiyu asked.

Su Lin gave her a look of mock disbelief, Do you think Im that flamboyant? Ill just park it outside the school. Dont worry about it being scraped; people automatically steer clear of such a car.

If it were me, I would steer clear too. Such an expensive car could cost a fortune if damaged, she said.

Money means the least to me. Lets head to school, Su Lin declared.

Okay~! she agreed.

On the way, they grabbed some breakfast. Arriving at school, Su Lin was surprised to find Ye Feng already in his seat, looking disheveled and tired.

Ignoring Ye Feng, Su Lin thought to himself that unless Ye Feng pulls himself together, no amount of rebirths would help him. He had hoped Ye Feng would put up a better fight, as being a villain was getting dull without a worthy opponent.

Unbeknownst to Su Lin, Ye Fengs eyes briefly sparkled with life when he saw Xia Shiyu walking normally but then dulled again. Xia Shiyu had completely ignored him, and to him, her indifference was more painful than hatred.

As they settled in, Lin Xiaowan, always cheerful, greeted them at the door.

Xiaowan, youre always so early, Su Lin noted.

Haha, I just arrived. How did your dads surgery go, Xiayu? I didnt get any updates last night and was worried, Lin Xiaowan asked Xia Shiyu.

Xia Shiyu smiled awkwardly. After being taken away by Su Lin the previous night, the two had been inseparable.

Texting? She had completely forgotten about it. If not for Lin Xiaowan mentioning it, Xia Shiyu would have almost forgotten that she had promised to inform her about the surgery results.

Su Lin then intervened, The surgery went very well, and he has been transferred to the intensive care unit.

I had Xiayu arrange for a caregiver, who is looking after him now. As for why we didnt message you last night, Xiaowan, didnt you know it was Xiayus birthday?

Ahh! Xiayu, was it your birthday yesterday? Lin Xiaowan asked in surprise.

Xia Shiyu glanced at Su Lin, wondering why he would mention it directly. Su Lin smiled at her, signaling her to be straightforward. In Su Lins view, there was no need to hide anything from someone like Lin Xiaowan.

Her intelligence might uncover some hints, which could affect their relationship. Being open about it would prevent her from overthinking.

Following Su Lins cue, Xia Shiyu nodded and said, Indeed, it was my birthday. I only remembered it after my dads surgery was over. Then Su Lin took me out for a big dinner, haha. novelbuddy.c om

Su Lin gave Xia Shiyu a thumbs up, acknowledging that they did indeed go out for a grand meal, and it was double the fun!

Lin Xiaowan looked disappointed, Ah, such a pity I didnt know.

She then walked up to Su Lin, glaring at him with her almond eyes, Its all your fault for sending me home so early. If we had stayed a bit longer after the surgery, I could have celebrated Xiayus birthday with her.

Su Lin shrugged, Well, its the weekend tomorrow. Why dont you make up for it then?

Lin Xiaowan shook her head, Im afraid I cant tomorrow. I have to sign a contract.

At this, both Su Lin and Xia Shiyu expressed surprise with a !!
