Chapter 2282: Love and Chaos: System Grand Battle 06

Brother Lin Xi.

You Le'an suddenly spoke, her voice sweet, "I heard you have a piano competition next month, it's very important."

He tilted his head, dimples faintly appearing, "Foster Mom said if you win you can become a disciple of the master you admire? And she asked me to pass on experience to you."

Zhou Du's cue tapped the edge of the table, and he glanced over.

Lin Xi slowly straightened up, took a breath, "Hmm… yes, what do you want to say?"

You Le'an smiled, her eyes curving into crescent moons.

"I just feel that Brother Lin Xi's mindset is really~good~"

He casually picked up a billiard ball and spun it on his fingertip, "If it were me, I'd definitely be hiding in the piano room practicing until my fingers cramp."

Jin Chen shifted to a better spot, observing their every move.

"You're so idle now, have you practiced piano? Have you surpassed your opponent?"

Lin Xi's joints tightened on the cue, emitting a faint crack, his pupils trembling.

He clutched his chest unexpectedly, his face wrinkling.

It was obvious, he had prepared too little.

Why, in such happy times, must he be reminded of the most painful thing!

The big villain, so terrifying.

Zhou Du was startled and hurriedly patted Lin Xi's back, "Good grief, You Le'an attacks indiscriminately."

You Le'an watched Lin Xi's tense jawline, made a victory sign in her heart, but before hearing the system's announcement, she first heard Jin Chen speak.

"It's fine, Le'an means he'll go back and teach you a few quick techniques."

You Le'an:?

Lin Xi's eyes lit up, "Really?"

You Le'an: "Of course……"

No!

His mouth was covered again.

Jin Chen: "He agreed, and still hasn't thanked you."

Lin Xi sincerely raised a smile, "Thank you!"

You Le'an: ……

What are you thanking me for! I hate you!

His uncovered eye turned over, glaring at Jin Chen.

Jin Chen pinched his cheek, softly, "Your little mouth is poisoned."

After all, he didn't really want Lin Xi to feel bad; You Le'an's emotions came and went quickly, and soon she continued playing.

And Lin Xi actually appeared not to believe You Le'an's words, even patting his chest as if still frightened.

Only Jin Chen caught all these reactions in his eyes.

After Jin Chen finished thinking, he suppressed his guess, took a drink from the mini-fridge for the engrossed You Le'an, and tugged at her little curl.

"Have some water."

You Le'an casually took it, and it happened to be a cool, salty sparkling water.

He took a deep sip, recalling his first impression of Jin Chen from yesterday, and now he had a déjà vu of guessing then seeing the truth.

You Le'an turned away, laughing "hehehe" and trembling.

Jin Chen rubbed his still-cool fingertips, but couldn't figure out what You Le'an was laughing about.

Just then, the private room door was twisted open.

You Le'an glanced over warily, the sparkling water still unswallowed, seeing Wang Piaohui sneaking in with a fresh red slap mark on his face, and couldn't hold back laughter.

Naturally, she also couldn't hold back that mouthful of sparkling water.

"Pff…"

Wang Piaohui was sprayed all over his face, stunned in place.

The club owner behind him:!!

The young master actually had other tricks; good thing he shrank back quickly!

"Oh my…" You Le'an blinked.

Jin Chen turned his head sideways, laughed, gave a light cough, pulled out a tissue to wipe You Le'an's chin.

Lin Xi and Zhou Du beside them: ……

Tragic.

To provoke the villain/You Le'an is truly tragic.

Jin Chen stepped forward half a step to shield You Le'an, "Anything else?"

"Ah… ah, it's like this."

The club owner finally stepped forward, "Today my new store opens; I don't know why this happened, President Jin, give me face and let him apologize, then we can consider it over."

Otherwise it might involve other levels, who knows how else to torment the Wang family, he's one of the club's investors after all.

Jin Chen glanced at the now-unpresentable Wang Piaohui, gently raised his hand, "No next time, Le'an is my family's honored guest."

The honored guest swallowed the sparkling water, lifted his chin to maintain his aura.

Wang Piaohui: ……

He held back his anger, also feeling anxious, afraid the Jin family wouldn't let go, but fortunately……

"Sorry, really sorry."

Wang Piaohui clenched his teeth and bowed in apology.

〖Today's villain value 10/10! Makes people both hateful and not dare to provoke, unexpected gain~〗

You Le'an waved his hand generously, "It's fine."

Considering you helped me reach max level~

Jin Chen chuckled quietly again, as if he had figured out something.

——

The very enjoyable club experience ended, and the four people each went back to their respective homes.

Jin Xingde and Lin Ying returned briefly for half a day, needing to catch an evening flight to embark on the next trip.

"Just perfect that you're back; we brought some local specialties, no need to eat lunch, just eat this."

Lin Ying let out an "eh", gesturing for the three children to come over.

A table full of delicious specialties.

Jin Chen and Lin Xi treat Lady Lin Ying thus—bringing only food as the specialty has become habitual.

But You Le'an's eyes lit up; he impolitely floated over to slurp the food, truly a case of sweeping away the remnants like a wind.

In his peripheral vision, he saw Jin Chen answer a call and head upstairs, looking rather solemn.

You Le'an curiously wiped the oil from his mouth and asked, "Brother Chen, are you going to get busy with work?"

Jin Chen glanced back, "Go deal with your battle results."

You Le'an; "……"

Thinking of whatever enterprise Wang Pāohuī's family has, You Le'an instantly understood, put down the skewers, tried to make an oily heart gesture, "Thanks~"

The devoted male side character—reliable!

You Le'an glanced at Lin Xi again.

Lin Xi immediately straightened his back, feeling like a thorn in it, "Le'an! I... I'm going to practice piano."

He casually took a couple bites of pastry and ran upstairs.

Lin Ying let out an "aiyo", "Le'an, goodness, glad you came over, you actually managed to make this kid obedient, or you have some way."

You Le'an nodded, hiding his merit and fame.

Lin Ying moved closer, inquiring, "Le'an ah, how are you getting along with Xiao Chen?"

Knowing the agreement between his own Mom and godmother, You Le'an took a bite of saucy chicken leg with mixed feelings, "Not bad."

Not bad is also useless.

You Le'an shook his head, the devoted male side character always ends up being the protagonist's; it's hard on the godmother to worry so much.

Lin Ying, however, didn't understand his meaning, overjoyed, "Then that's good!"

She had the maid cut a fruit platter, "Like this, you take it to the study for Xiao Chen; he always likes to eat some fruit while working."

"Oh, okay."

You Le'an raised both hands, rushed to the kitchen to wash his hands, carrying the fruit platter up to the fourth floor.

In the study.

Jin Chen finished recording You Le'an and Lin Xi's various reactions today, was solemnly pondering, the computer screen showing an online meeting for reporting work.

Suddenly, the study door was pushed open by a fluffy, curly-haired head.

Jin Chen looked over, tilted his head, met You Le'an's gaze, and raised an eyebrow in puzzlement.
