After a brief embrace, Xu Lin wanted to enter the courtyard to see the environment Lin Feng was living in.
“Xu Lin, perhaps we should forget it. My room is a bit messy. I’ll take you out for a walk.”
Lin Feng was worried that if Xu Lin saw Gu Xiaoman, she might not be able to handle the shock.
“It’s fine, I can help you tidy up the room. I’ll be staying in the capital for a long time this time. I’ll be staying with you, you don’t mind, do you?”
Xu Lin smiled. Since they were already a couple, she didn’t mind living together with Lin Feng.
Having chosen to be together, it was only natural to get to know each other better.
“No, I don’t mind.”
Lin Feng felt incredibly guilty but could only lead Xu Lin into the courtyard.
“Lin Feng, this courtyard is really nice. Did you buy it or rent it?”
Upon entering the courtyard, Xu Lin looked at the large house with many flowers and plants, all meticulously maintained. Her eyes lit up.
What surprised her most was that the air in this courtyard was fresher than outside.
Being in the courtyard, she felt comfortable and enjoyed herself.
In fact, Xu Lin felt comfortable because her senior sister had planted Spirit Gathering Grass here.
Spirit Gathering Grass could gather spiritual energy, thus the spiritual energy in the courtyard was denser, beneficial for self-cultivation and improving physical constitution.
“I didn’t buy it, it’s my senior sister’s house.”
“By the way, let me introduce you to someone. This is Gu Xiaoman, my roommate, a treasure my senior sister left for me.”
Lin Feng took the initiative, leading Xu Lin to Gu Xiaoman and introducing her.
“A treasure your senior sister left for you? What does that mean?”
Xu Lin was a bit confused, but looking at Gu Xiaoman, who was sweet-looking and pure, she gracefully extended her hand and introduced herself, “Miss Gu, hello, my name is Xu Lin.”
“Miss Xu, hello.”
Gu Xiaoman quickly shook hands with Xu Lin. She suddenly felt Xu Lin was familiar. After a moment of thought, she exclaimed with surprise, “Sister Xu Lin, you’re a star, aren’t you? I’ve watched the TV shows you acted in!”
“I’m not a star, I’m just an actress.”
Xu Lin disliked the term “star.” She always considered acting as her profession and didn’t want to be seen as a celebrity, only wishing to be an ordinary person.
“Sister Xu Lin, please sit. I’ll pour you a glass of water.”
Gu Xiaoman hadn’t expected a big star to visit. She was nervous and excited, unsure how to entertain Xu Lin.
“Little Man, you don’t need to pour water for me. I haven’t had breakfast yet. You don’t mind if I sit down and have some soup, do you?”
Xu Lin looked at the barely touched noodle soup and egg drop soup on the table, feeling a bit hungry.
“You can eat mine, I haven’t touched this bowl of noodles yet.”
Lin Feng pushed his bowl of noodles towards Xu Lin.
Xu Lin didn’t stand on ceremony, sat down, took off her coat, and started eating the noodles.
“Husband, you chat with Sister Xu Lin, I’ll put Sister Xu Lin’s clothes in the room.”
Gu Xiaoman took Xu Lin’s coat.
However, her calling him “Husband” made Xu Lin, who was eating noodles, freeze for a moment.
Lin Feng knew something was about to go wrong and said awkwardly, “Xiaoman, don’t call me husband. Just call me Brother Lin.”
“But if I don’t call you husband, you’ll drink pesticide! I…”
Gu Xiaoman seemed a bit bewildered.
“It’s okay, I won’t drink pesticide. You go put the clothes in the room first.”
Lin Feng rubbed his head, feeling a headache coming on.
Gu Xiaoman nodded meekly and took the clothes into the room.
After Gu Xiaoman left, Xu Lin put down her chopsticks and said, “Lin Feng, Little Man…”
“Xu Lin, let me explain. The reason I said Xiaoman is a treasure my senior sister left me is because…”
Lin Feng had no choice but to come clean and tell the truth. After all, Gu Xiaoman was the wife his senior sister had found for him, and he was passively accepting it.
However, before Lin Feng could finish, Xu Lin interrupted, “Alright, you don’t need to explain. I understand. Little Man has a problem here.”
Xu Lin pointed to her head, implying that Gu Xiaoman had some issues with her mind.
“Huh? Why do you think that?”
Lin Feng was confused.
“Am I wrong? If Little Man didn’t have mental problems, would she say that if you don’t call her husband, you’ll drink pesticide?”
“I understand. Little Man is a patient you’re taking care of at your senior sister’s request. Your senior sister is kind-hearted.”
Xu Lin had a vivid imagination.
“Yes, my senior sister asked me to take care of Xiaoman.”
Since Xu Lin didn’t suspect anything more, Lin Feng decided to go along with it.
“Mm, Little Man is quite pitiful. To have developed a mental illness at such a young age. I’ll take care of her with you in the future.”
Xu Lin gave Lin Feng a sweet smile.
She often visited orphanages to take care of children, so from the moment she saw Gu Xiaoman, she treated her like a younger sister.
Moreover, with Gu Xiaoman’s apparent mental state, Xu Lin felt even more sympathy.
“Okay, you eat first. I’ll go tidy up the room.”
Lin Feng didn’t say much more. Since Xu Lin was going to stay, he had to tidy up the spare room.
This spare room was quite clean, likely because Gu Xiaoman cleaned it often.
Lin Feng took out a brand-new set of bedding from his storage bag and made the bed for Xu Lin.
Then, he took out some daily necessities and clothes that Xu Lin could wear from his storage bag.
Xu Lin had come empty-handed, so he prepared more items for her.
“Husband, I’ll do the tidying. You go keep Sister Xu Lin company.”
Gu Xiaoman entered the room, saw Lin Feng busy inside, and immediately took over the task from him.
“Husband, where did you find these women’s clothes? Qing-jie and I didn’t prepare so many new clothes either?”
Gu Xiaoman looked at the brand-new women’s clothes on the bed, feeling puzzled.
“I carry these with me. By the way, what size clothes do you wear? I’ll find a few for you.”
Lin Feng casually explained.
“Carry them with you? How do you carry them?”
Gu Xiaoman was even more confused. She couldn’t see anywhere on Lin Feng that could hold so many things.
“This bag, it’s a storage bag. It has a large storage space inside, just like in the Xianxia dramas you’ve seen. It’s a magical artifact.”
Lin Feng explained the magic of the storage bag to Gu Xiaoman.
He then demonstrated it personally. With a thought, he conjured a pile of new clothes.
“It’s so magical.”
Gu Xiaoman watched Lin Feng as if he were performing magic. Like a curious baby, she squatted down and pinched the fabric of the clothes, seeming to want to see if they were real.
However, she wasn’t too shocked. After all, she had seen the great divine powers displayed by Ying Tianqing, the Black Fox King, and his group before, so she was accustomed to Lin Feng’s unusual abilities.
“Xiaoman, these bras actually suit you. Consider them a gift from me. Keep them to wear.”
Lin Feng handed Gu Xiaoman a set of Victoria’s Secret-style underwear and bras.
Gu Xiaoman’s face immediately flushed red as she looked at the scantily clad underwear in Lin Feng’s hand.
She usually didn’t wear such revealing clothing because she found it too exposed.
However, since Lin Feng liked them, she decided to try wearing them.
