"You've said so much, it's finally my turn to speak?"

Even after listening to Lin Jin's frank words, Chen Hao was still smiling, a smile that made Lin Jin feel anxious.

"Hold on for a moment." Lin Jin didn't know what Chen Hao was thinking, she stared at his smiling face, pondering for a while, then decided it would be better to consult Black Cat.

"Let me check my phone for a bit before you continue."

Lin Jin took out her phone, opened the system, clicked on the Admirer's page, and then took a glance at Chen Hao's current affection levels towards her.

If it had dropped, it meant that her previous speech had indeed struck him a blow, not as indifferent as Chen Hao seemed on the surface. If it had increased... then it could only mean that Chen Hao was gay.

Fortunately, what Lin Jin saw in the affection column was that Chen Hao's current affection towards her was only 51 points.

Her words just now had indeed taken effect, so what Chen Hao wanted to say now must be that he wouldn't bother her in the future, right?

Suddenly, a Black Cat stuck its head into the frame from outside the phone screen. It was wearing black boots and a large hat, with a belt around its waist and a small rapier, like those used by European nobles. It looked like the Black Cat was cosplaying Puss in Boots from Shrek. However, Puss in Boots looked cute, an obvious hero, while the Black Cat in this outfit looked dark and scary, like a final boss.

The Black Cat stood on its hind legs, its rapier pointing at Chen Hao's affection, dutifully explaining to Lin Jin: "If the affection is above 50 points, then it means this guy is willing to do more than 50% of things for you. Generally, a normal couple's mutual affection is above 70."

"If it's 100 points, then he's willing to do anything for you without considering family and outsiders. Below 50 points means that while he has some feelings for you, it's basically equivalent to being just a regular friend." Black Cat twisted its body, apparently uncomfortable standing, and simply sat down. "Alright! That's it. You're getting further and further from your task objective."

"What's it to you?" Lin Jin casually typed a few words, then lifted her head, sweetly smiling at Chen Hao, "Please continue your performance."

"What?" Chen Hao was taken aback.

"I misspoke, sorry." Lin Jin awkwardly coughed, "What were you saying? I've finished dealing with stuff on my phone."

"Um..." Chen Hao, copying Lin Jin's pose with one hand on his cheek, hesitated for a moment and said, "We can at least be ordinary friends in the future, right?"

What is he trying to do?

Chen Hao's words instantly shattered Lin Jin's calm facade. She was flustered for a moment, feeling that Chen Hao's words seemed to imply something - like, if we can't be lovers for now, let's be best friends.

"Although you're a man, I'm not too angry." Chen Hao nodded at the waiter who was serving the dishes next to him, and continued to speak to Lin Jin, "If it wasn't for you three years ago, perhaps I wouldn't be here now."

The waiter who had just put the dish on the table looked at Chen Hao and Lin Jin sitting in their seats with a bewildered face, then hurriedly ran away.

Boss, there's a catfish here and a fool who seems to have been deceived by the catfish!

Chen Hao didn't care about the waiter's thoughts, and continued: "You know, three years ago, because of family issues, I was somewhat depressed and became introverted. If I hadn't been with you, if you hadn't enlightened me, I wouldn't have gotten out of my depression, and I wouldn't have become outgoing because I wanted to find you and started to work and interact with society."

Lin Jin nodded in agreement, a hint of pride on her face: "So, I did a good deed, saving a flower of the nation."

"So even if you're a man, I won't blame you." Chen Hao pushed the dish that had just been served in front of Lin Jin, "But we can at least be friends, right? At least we've vented to each other before."

"Of course."

Having a friend who is a high ranking member in the student council could at least make my life a little easier at school. At least if I go out and don't come back at night, the student council shouldn't give me a hard time, right?

With this thought in mind, Lin Jin started to eat comfortably.

"Eh? Lin Jin? Cousin?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the entrance, Lin Jin looked towards the source of the sound and found it was Long Lihao, who rarely came to class.

Wait, cousin?

"How come you two are having a meal together?" Long Lihao walked over with small quick steps, directly leaning against Chen Hao, half of his body against his back, his chin resting on Chen Hao's shoulder, "Cousin, is this a date?"

"It's not a date!" Before Chen Hao could speak, Lin Jin hurriedly clarified her innocence, "We're just discussing things, okay? Why is your mind full of gay stuff?"

"Really? I thought you two didn't know each other, but it turns out you're close enough to have meals together." He sat down next to Chen Hao, looked up at him and asked, "Bro, what are you two talking about?"

"Just student council stuff, you know I'm the president of the Disciplinary Committee." Chen Hao's smile deepened after Long Lihao's arrival, "How come you're at school?"

"I came to have fun. I have a date with a pretty girl, but it's still early."

"Good, you're more ambitious than me. College is about dating."

Even though Long Lihao looks completely like a submissive type, and doesn't often come to class, his reputation among the new students of the 2016th year is very high. Lin Jin couldn't figure out why.

"So, you two are cousins?"

No matter how Lin Jin thought about it, she could never have imagined that they would have this kind of relationship. But on closer inspection, apart from being cutesy, Long Lihao really is quite handsome and there are some similarities with Chen Hao in their facial features.

"Yeah, his mom is my mom's sister."

Long Lihao nodded, curiously looking at Lin Jin, "Are you two really not dating? Lin Jin, you've become so pretty lately, so you were trying to hook up with my cousin, huh?"

Just as Lin Jin was about to retort, Long Lihao said to himself, "That would be nice, you know. If you two were together, the three of us could hang out all the time."

"What the hell?" Lin Jin was almost speechless at Long Lihao's peculiar line of thought, but she still needed to clarify, "I'm not like you, a gay! I'm completely straight, okay? I only like women!"

"I'm bisexual, not gay" Long Lihao seriously told Lin Jin.

Lin Jin was almost on the verge of a breakdown. She had finally settled things with Chen Hao, and now an even more troublesome guy had popped up.

"Do you want to join us for dinner?" Chen Hao patted Long Lihao's head, and he seemed to enjoy it, squinting his eyes, "Or would you rather go have dinner with your date and leave your brother here?"

"Of course, I'm going to go on a date!" Long Lihao stood up and waved at Lin Jin, "You two enjoy your date!"

"Just go!"

Although she really wanted to curse directly, the fact that she had become a woman made Lin Jin have some lingering fears, and in the end, she could only use the not so forceful word "go."

"He's always like this, don't mind him."

Having been disturbed by Long Lihao, Lin Jin's mood became much worse, but Chen Hao laughed even more.

"I know." Lin Jin sighed, "I don't mind."

Even though she is friends with Long Lihao, Lin Jin still thinks he is very strange. Being bisexual is not something to be bragged about, is it? And why does she feel like she's being set up?
