Chapter 75: Me as Your Boyfriend?

  Lin Qingxue is very annoyed now, extremely annoyed. Because she just received a call from her mother, Wu Qiaoying, who was convinced that Lin Qingxue must have a boyfriend and insisted that Lin Qingxue bring him home tonight to meet her.

  "Mom! I've told you before, I really don't have a boyfriend, so please stop pressuring me? I'm in class at school right now and can't talk to you anymore, bye!"

  In the corridor, Lin Qingxue was trying her best to explain to her mother, but Lin's mother, Wu Qiaoying, refused to believe anything and said firmly: "Qingxue, don't try to deceive your mom anymore. On the day I came back, you dare say there wasn't a man in the house? If not, how can those marks be explained? Although I didn't catch anyone red-handed, no matter what, tonight I cooked a table of dishes at home and you must bring that person back to me!"

  With a click, Lin Qingxue hung up the phone and returned to the classroom with a worried face. But in her heart, she was tangled: "If I had known this would happen, it would have been better if Mom had discovered Su Lin that day. To be honest, there's nothing going on, but no matter how I explain it to Mom, she won't believe me. Now, Mom is convinced that I have a boyfriend and even thinks we've had a relationship. She wants me to bring him home tonight, but where can I find a boyfriend in such a short time?"

  With a worried mind, Lin Qingxue didn't even have the heart to teach class, she briefly lectured and then let everyone review grammar on their own. As for her, she sat alone at the podium, propping up her chin, thinking about how to explain things to her mother when she got home after what had just happened over the phone.

  "Why don't I just tell mom that my boyfriend is too busy with work and can't come over?"

  Supporting her cheek, Lin Qingxue finally came up with a solution, but immediately negated it the next second. "This method won't work either. Not to mention that Mom spent half a day preparing carefully, and I didn't bring anyone back, will she be furious? Even if this time is avoided, what about the next time? Can hide for a while, but can't hide for a lifetime!"

  For the past two years since Lin Qingxue started working, her parents had been worried about her lifelong major events. Finally, let Lin's mother know that there were some clues, how could she not be suspicious? Moreover, the traces left by Su Lin in Lin Qingxue's home that day were too obvious. The male characteristics were left on Lin Qingxue's changed black silk stockings, and Lin's mother Wu Qiaoying saw them, how could she not have doubts?

  "Oh no! This won't do, that won't do either! Even if I tell the truth, mom won't believe me and insists that I have a boyfriend. Do I really have to conjure up a boyfriend out of thin air?! Ugh... it's all that stinker Su Lin's fault, how did he manage to get that thing on my stockings that day? Now I'm stuck trying to explain something that can't be explained..."

  Lin Qingxue's face was aching, and she couldn't help but blame everything on Su Lin. Sitting on the podium, she unconsciously stared at Su Lin with a sharp gaze, as if Su Lin had committed a heinous crime.

  "Lin Zi, Lin Zi! Have you done something illegal again recently? Why does Teacher Lin have that kind of look in his eyes when he looks at you... This time you're probably finished!"

  Even Li Hao felt Lin Qingxue's gaze and didn't dare lift his head, quietly reminding Su Lin on the side.

  "I...I don't know either! I just didn't come to school this morning, did I? But my mom had already asked for leave from Teacher Lin too. And when I came back in the afternoon and stood at the classroom door, Teacher Lin had already scolded me. Clearly everything was fine during class before, so why did Teacher Lin's expression change as soon as she got off the phone, her eyes almost burning with anger?"

  Su Lin was also baffled, with an innocent face, thinking to himself that he had somehow walked into bad luck today, and two women had simultaneously taken a dislike to him, without even knowing the reason.

  Qin Yanran is like this now, and Lin Qingxue is also like this. Su Lin couldn't help but cover her face with both hands, feeling a strong urge to wash her heart and start anew, as if reborn.

  "Hum! All this is Su Lin's fault, it's all because of Su Lin. Now I'm being forced to abdicate by Mother. No way, Su Lin also has responsibility..."

  All the anger was directed at Su Lin, and Lin Qingxue suddenly had an idea. "Since it's all Su Lin's responsibility, why don't we just let him pretend to be my boyfriend? Today, he'll come home with me for dinner. Humph! If my mom sees that I've brought such an unreliable boyfriend home, she'll definitely advise me to break up with him quickly. Then, following her advice, I can 'break up' with him. This way, all the problems will be perfectly solved!"

  After exhausting her brain, Lin Qingxue finally thought of a perfect solution. Let's do it this way, let Su Lin pretend to be her boyfriend and go home, all problems will be solved effortlessly.

  With a cheeky smile, Lin Qingxue found a way to solve the problem. Su Lin's gaze changed instantly. From the initial anger and resentment, it now became somewhat playful. Su Lin felt this strange gaze, his whole body was about to get goosebumps, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.

  "What's going on today? Is it another solar flare causing the tides to run irregularly, leading to an imbalance in global hormonal forces, and then all women are out of sorts? Otherwise, why would Lin Laoshi look at me with that kind of gaze?"

  Su Lin's heart was racing, he originally liked to stare at Lin Qingxue, but now he lowered his head, pretending to read a book, not daring to meet Lin Qingxue's gaze, this was really a bit too abnormal and frightening.

  Ding ding ding......

  It's finally time to get out of class, I can finally go home and leave this school where even the women are not normal. Su Lin had already packed up her bag and was about to head out of the classroom when she was suddenly stopped by a sentence from Lin Qingxue behind her, which immediately fulfilled Su Lin's previous bad premonition.

  "Su Lin, come with me to the office, the teacher wants to see you."

  As expected, Lin Qingxue's gaze was not without meaning. Su Lin had long anticipated that he might be called by Lin Qingxue, so he was in such a hurry to want to go back, but still couldn't escape successfully. He could only follow behind Lin Qingxue's back to the office under Li Hao's sympathetic and pitiful gaze.

  "Come... Su Lin, sit down... are you thirsty? The teacher will pour you a glass of water. Are you hungry? The teacher has a pack of cookies here..."

  As soon as she entered the office, Lin Qingxue's attitude towards Su Lin changed again. She was pouring water and offering cookies, leaving Su Lin completely stunned. What was wrong with this world? Was it really the end of the world? Had Teacher Lin been possessed by someone else? How could she suddenly be so enthusiastic and affectionate towards him?

  When things reach an extreme, they must reverse. Su Lin's heart raised its vigilance to 120%, looking at the Lin teacher in front of her who was both familiar and strange, wanting to see what kind of medicine Lin teacher had in his gourd.

  "Teacher Lin... you... don't have to be like this, just say what's on your mind. This way of yours makes me feel a bit... really uncomfortable!"

  Su Lin is now holding a cup of water poured by Lin Qingxue in one hand, and holding the cookies handed over by Lin Qingxue in the other hand, sitting opposite Lin Qingxue's office desk, really being scared by Lin Qingxue's enthusiasm.

  "Alright, since it's like this, Su Lin, I'll be direct. I want you to help me with something, will you?"

  The other teachers in the office had all gone home, leaving only Lin Qingxue and Su Lin. As a result, Lin Qingxue spoke more freely, blinking her eyes, and was not as serious as before.

  "Teacher Lin, you want me to help? What kind of help is it? My ability is also limited, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you. You go ahead and say it first, then I'll see if I can help."

  Su Lin wouldn't blindly jump into the fire pit without thinking, wanting to help himself. At least he should say something first to see what's going on. However, relying on Su Lin's intuition and Lin Qingxue's abnormal behavior, Su Lin felt that this matter was definitely not a good thing.

  "Will you promise the teacher first?"

  "No! Teacher, you have to say it first."

  Su Lin was firm in her stance and didn't back down, even when the normally stern Teacher Lin put on a pitiful expression.

  "Alright!" Lin Qingxue compromised and said, "Actually, it's nothing much. It's just that during class today, I received a call from my mom. She said no matter what, she wants me to bring my boyfriend home for dinner tonight so she can get to know him better."

  "That's great! Teacher Lin, why don't you just bring your boyfriend back home?" Su Lin chimed in.

  "But the key is! Teacher, I don't have a boyfriend..."

  These three words "boyfriend", Lin Qingxue almost said one word at a time, her eyes staring at Su Lin, just like she was in the classroom.

  "No boyfriend? Then just tell your mom you don't have a boyfriend, isn't that enough?" Actually, Su Lin already knew that Lin Qingxue didn't have a boyfriend, she was just intentionally beating around the bush to tease Lin Qingxue, wanting to see what Lin Qingxue really wanted to say.

  "I said so, but no matter what I say, my mom just won't believe me and insists that I have a boyfriend. What can I do?"

  Saying that, Lin Qingxue pointed at Su Lin and said, "This is all your fault, Su Lin! You made my mom think I have a boyfriend."

  "What's it got to do with me? I didn't go tell your mom that you have a boyfriend. Besides, even if I did, would she believe me?"

  It's a bit inexplicable, this conversation is beating around the bush, how did it suddenly become my fault? It's also a bit too unbelievable, isn't it?

  "It's all your fault. Do you still remember the morning when my mom came? It was because you stayed overnight at our place that my mom thought I had a boyfriend. Whose fault is it if not yours?"

  Lin Qingxue put her hands on her hips, with a kind of feeling of chasing after someone who had wronged her.

  "I... wasn't I doing it to save you? If it weren't for saving you that day, would I have gone to your house overnight?" Su Lin argued, this is being reasonable! She had good intentions and saved him, but instead did something wrong.

  "What's gotten all over my black tights?"

  "One excitement, Lin Qingxue also said without any scruples, 'It's these dirty things of yours that made my mom determined that I have a boyfriend, and it's...it's the kind that has already had a relationship!'"

  "What? Did your mom see that? Th... I..."

  Lin Qingxue hit the nail on the head, and Su Lin also felt guilty. He thought no one would find out about it! Unexpectedly, he was caught by Lin Qingxue's mother, what to do now?

  "You, you, you... what's wrong with you! Now say something, Su Lin, isn't this all because of you?"

  Having gained the upper hand, Lin Qingxue couldn't help but feel a little triumphant, her hands on her hips, like a victorious rooster.

  "Yes, yes, yes... Teacher Lin, it's all my fault. I was wrong. Now... what should we do now? Tell me how I can help, you say! I admit it!"

  Alas! The consequences and responsibilities of one's own impulsive actions must be borne by oneself. Knowing it was his fault, Su Lin didn't explain or cover up, and since Lin Qingxue had asked for his help, he must have already had a solution in mind. What else could Su Lin do but cooperate honestly?

  "How about it? It's simple, Su Lin. Since my mom has already misunderstood that you're my boyfriend, then today...you'll have to pretend to be my boyfriend again and accompany me home."

  Lin Qingxue's words shocked Su Lin, who jumped in fright: "Ah? You want me to be your boyfriend?"
