Chapter 16: Vibrating Heartstrings

"come on in."

Lin Jiang welcomed Xu Lin in. She was still wearing the same cotton nightgown and holding a bag in her hand.

"What's wrong with your foot? Is it injured?" Xu Lin asked when she saw Lin Jiang limping.

"I did a lot of exercise this morning, so I'll be fine after a good night's sleep. I can't drink with you today."

Lin Jiang said this deliberately because he wanted to know why Xu Lin came.

"I'm not here to drink with you. Didn't I check your pulse yesterday? I got you some medicine."

Xu Lin helped Lin Jiang up and said, "You are such a fool. Why are you training so hard? You will definitely not be able to bear it."

"I overestimate myself a bit."

"Oh, I forgot to tell you something." Xu Lin said:

"Ma Shangxi was exposed by someone, and the video of his cheating was recorded. Some of my friends in the mall were sharing this video."

"This is a good thing. His reputation will be ruined if this happens. I guess the mall won't be able to keep him."

Xu Lin glanced at Lin Jiang with a questioning look in his eyes.

"The account that reported him for cheating was a new one. Someone must have deliberately messed with him."

"Then what?" Lin Jiang asked calmly.

"We just talked about this yesterday, and today Ma Shangxi was exposed. Could it be you who did it?"

Lin Jiang suddenly realized.

It seems like I can kill two birds with one stone and do someone a favor at the same time.

"How could that be? You're overthinking it."

"Lend me your phone, I'll use it for a bit, but I won't look at your browser search history."

This woman is quite knowledgeable about the rules.

"This, is not good..."

Lin Jiang glanced at the phone on the dining table and said, "There's nothing in my phone. Nothing interesting to see."

When a woman wants to look at a man's phone, if he hides it, it means something is wrong.

Lin Jiang thought that his performance was pretty good, and he looked a bit like a movie emperor.

"I'll just borrow it for a bit."

Xu Lin took Lin Jiang's mobile phone proactively and opened the Douyin APP as expected.

Lin Jiang breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he did not switch back to his own account. He was truly a lucky guy.

"You still say it's not you, but didn't you post the video? You were afraid that the official would not allow you to stream it, so you posted three in a row." Xu Lin asked, holding up the phone.

"It's not a big deal, and I don't want to take credit for it."

Lin Jiang smiled awkwardly and created a character for himself that was honest and miserable.

"Why isn't it a big deal? Why isn't it necessary?"

Xu Lin's eyes became gentle, "I'm just talking to you casually, you don't need to spend so much effort on this kind of thing."

"You can't just watch him bully you."

"You won't lose a single piece of meat if you bully me, and I have another store, so I don't have to worry about food or drink. If he sees you, you'll be in danger."

Xu Lin stepped forward and held Lin Jiang's arm, accidentally touching the big white rabbit, but she didn't care.

"If your legs are uncomfortable, don't stand. Go sit on the sofa for a while."

"it is good."

After helping Lin Jiang to the sofa, Xu Lin looked at him gently, with a hint of heartache.

"I was still wondering, why are we not open today? Did you already have this plan after I told you last night?"

Lin Jiang: ???
Can you still imagine the plot?

Is this Dihua?
But in front of a smart person like Xu Lin, the best answer is no answer.

Lin Jiang smiled innocently and said nothing.

In Xu Lin's opinion, such an expression was already an answer.

"Silly boy, I really admire you. Sooner or later, I will be pissed off by you."

"It's okay. Now that our goal has been achieved, we can do business peacefully from now on."

"I really don't know what to say to you. Your legs must be hurting badly." Xu Lin said with concern:
"I told you yesterday not to do strenuous exercise, why didn't you listen? It's easy to strain your muscles."

[You have gained the favor of NPC Xu Lin, intimacy +30]

[Intimacy: 40]

Using this method can actually increase intimacy!
And they gave so much!

Not bad, not bad. With another 40 points, I can start the main quest.

"Where is the medicated oil? I'll rub it on you."

"It's on the bedside table in the bedroom."

Xu Lin turned and walked towards the bedroom.

Lin Jiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately I bought another bottle midway, otherwise the truth would have been exposed now.

After getting the medicated oil back, Xu Lin opened the lid and applied a little bit on her hands.

"Don't move, let me massage you." "That's so embarrassing."

"You've done so much for me, I'm just rubbing your legs, it's nothing"

Xu Lin sat on the sofa, put Lin Jiang's feet on her thighs, and rubbed them back and forth.

I have to say that Xu Lin's hands are very soft, and it feels quite good to rub them.

Especially the hands, moving up and down...

It has that flavor...

Xu Lin was very serious, moving her hands up and down...massaging.

When the lubrication was not enough, I put some medicated oil on my hands and continued.

His eyes were professional, his expression was serious, and he didn't say a word of nonsense the whole time.

It is strongly recommended to promote this model to bathing centers.

Just because you say a few more words, will I spend money?

If I had that much money, why would I need to nag you so much?

All in all, Xu Lin took more than thirty minutes. Lin Jiang felt that this was almost his limit.

"That's about it. Let's go down and walk around to see if it feels better."

Lin Jiang sat up from the sofa, walked a few steps on the ground, and found that it was not so painful anymore.

"Oh my god, it really doesn't hurt that much anymore."

Xu Lin raised her head a little proudly, "This is something I made secretly, of course it works, and we have many repeat customers."

"Boss Xu is awesome."

"But in your case, your legs will probably still hurt tomorrow. The noodle shop should do what it can. If you are tired, just close it early. Money is not earned in one day."

"understood."

"Silly boy, don't do this again in the future." Xu Lin's tone was gentle:

"It's getting late. You should go to bed early. I'll go back first."

"Ah."

After seeing Xu Lin off, Lin Jiang lay back on the sofa.

It was a day of outstanding acting.

……

The next morning, when Lin Jiang opened his eyes, it was already past ten o'clock.

I glanced at my phone and saw that it was full of messages from Zhou Wanyu, more than a dozen of them.

Zhou Wanyu: "Boss!"

Zhou Wanyu: "Great news!"

Zhou Wanyu: "Ma Shangxi's cheating has been exposed!"

Zhou Wanyu: "His wife has come to the workplace."

Zhou Wanyu: “I heard that the leaders above are handling this matter.

Zhou Wanyu: "I feel like he should be fired.
Zhou Wanyu: "It's really gratifying."

Zhou Wanyu: "And that woman, it turns out she was us..."

Can't this girl finish her words in one breath?
Lin Jiang: "Evil will be punished."

Soon, Zhou Wanyu's message came back.

Zhou Wanyu: "Yes, yes, yes, I will be able to work properly from now on."

Lin Jiang didn't reply, but at this moment, Xu Lin's message came.

Xu Lin: "Are you feeling better?"

Lin Jiang: "Much better, medicated oil YYDS."

Xu Lin: "Do what you can today, come back early, and don't get too tired."

Lin Jiang: “Received.”

After chatting with the two women, Lin Jiang didn't plan to sleep.

I didn't feel anything when I was lying in bed, but after I got out of bed, the swelling came back, but it's not a big problem, I just need to walk slowly.

At this time, a prompt tone appears.

[The time limit has ended. Within the specified time, the player walks a total of 100945 steps, with 100834 effective steps. The player can receive a cash reward of 100834 yuan, which has been distributed to the player's account.]

Having exceeded 100,000 steps, Lin Jiang was still very satisfied with the utilization rate of the sports card.

If I continue like this, I will soon enter the middle class.

[Mission completed (Even rabbits bite when they are anxious): Reward: Lucky card*1, 40 experience points]

Is this done?
It seems that Berkeley Mall is moving very quickly.

Ok?
suddenly!

Lin Jiang noticed one thing.

The experience seems to be over 100 points!

You can choose treasures and participate in the lucky draw!
