Just as Lin Yang finished posting his message, he received a WeChat notification from Fu Hongli.
Looking at the content of the message, Lin Yang felt as though he were dreaming.
Then again, on second thought, Fu Hongli had once told him that she would never contact him unless something was the matter.
That meant something was up.
Without asking what the issue was, Lin Yang said goodbye to his three roommates and quickly dashed out.
Half an hour later, Lin Yang arrived at the entrance of Fu Hongli's apartment building.
He sent her a text message: "I'm here."
"2201. Have the concierge bring you up!" Fu Hongli replied quickly.
Lin Yang put away his phone and entered the building. Less than three minutes later, led by the concierge, he was standing at the door of Fu Hongli's apartment.
After dismissing the concierge, Lin Yang rang the doorbell.
A moment later, the door swung open, revealing Fu Hongli's breathtakingly gorgeous face.
That wasn't the main point, however. The main point was that she was currently wearing a pair of extremely short shorts.
A pair of snow-white, slender, and shapely legs were thus exposed, unreservedly striking Lin Yang's eyes.
With just a single glance, Lin Yang felt an instant wave of intense heat rush through his body.
He had known Fu Hongli's legs were long, but he hadn't expected them to be *this* long.
What's more, not only were they long, but they were also fair and slender.
Lin Yang quickly pulled his gaze back, forced a smile, and said, "Sugar daddy, what did you need me for?"
"Get in here!" Fu Hongli said coldly.
"Okay!"
Lin Yang stepped inside.
As soon as the door closed, Fu Hongli handed him a pair of unwrapped slippers.
Lin Yang couldn't help a small chuckle when he saw them.
He hadn't expected Fu Hongli to give him a pair of women's slippers.
"I don't have any men's slippers at home. Just make do with these!" Fu Hongli said coldly.
"Fine!"
Lin Yang quickly changed his shoes and stepped fully into the apartment.
The apartment was spacious and luxuriously decorated, yet imbued with a certain warmth.
Noticing Lin Yang curiously looking around her home, Fu Hongli asked coldly, "Want something to drink?"
"No thanks," Lin Yang smiled. "Sugar daddy, what on earth did you call me here for?"
"I need you to stay here for a few days!" Fu Hongli said coldly.
What?
The words caught Lin Yang completely off guard.
Naturally, he was shocked.
After all, an hour ago, Fu Hongli hadn't even let him walk her home, yet now she was inviting him to stay in her luxury apartment.
"What happened?"
"I'm being watched. At two o'clock last night, someone messed with my security cameras."
Lin Yang's expression darkened.
"Did you call the police?"
"No. We still don't know who tampered with the cameras, so calling the police won't help. Besides, someone knocked on my door upstairs earlier and later claimed they went to the wrong apartment, but I don't think it's that simple!" Fu Hongli explained coldly.
Lin Yang instantly understood why she wanted him to move in.
Put bluntly, she wanted him to protect her.
Protecting Fu Hongli was certainly not a problem. Even though Lin Yang was merely a sparring partner, he had spent over a year training alongside the boxing coaches at the club.
Thanks to his decent natural talent, his current boxing skills were quite respectable.
Handling one or two people who weren't carrying weapons would be a walk in the park.
"Alright. What do I need to do?"
"Simple. Just move in. However, while you're living here, I have three rules for you!"
Lin Yang smiled. "Actually, you don't need any three rules. I know what you're worried about. Let's be straight—I'm terribly short on money right now, and I know the consequences of messing with you. So I don't have, nor would I dare harbor, any crooked thoughts about you."
Lin Yang's directness inexplicably made Fu Hongli breathe a sigh of relief.
She hadn't expected this fellow to be quite so smart.
"Good. Remember what you said. If you dare break your word, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Fu Hongli said coldly.
"Understood. But, sugar daddy, there is one thing I need to run by you first!"
"Speak!" Fu Hongli looked at him with guarded eyes.
"Well, thanks to the buzz you generated at Jiang University, a lot of people found out we were dating and have been begging me to hold classes and pass on some experience. Of course, it's not free, which means..."
"So, you want to use me to make money?" Fu Hongli asked coldly.
Her charming peach-blossom eyes were frosted over.
She looked somewhat angry.
Lin Yang quickly clarified, "Don't worry, I'm not selling you out for profit! I mean, I'm just teaching them some tips on how to chase girls; it won't involve you at all."
"Hmph. A guarantee—what are you going to use to guarantee that?" Fu Hongli asked coldly.
He knew she wouldn't agree.
Lin Yang felt a bit dejected.
Still, since she wasn't on board, he wouldn't dare push it.
After all, if he genuinely offended her, his own losses would be massive.
"Fine. We've known each other for less than eight or nine hours, so I know you don't trust me. It was poor planning on my part. Don't worry, since you don't like it, I won't do it!" Lin Yang said very earnestly.
Seeing Lin Yang's sincere expression, Fu Hongli inexplicably felt a pang of reluctance.
Unconsciously, she asked, "Do you have such rich dating experience?"
"To be honest with you, sugar daddy, I've never even been in a relationship!"
"Then how are you going to teach them how to date?"
Lin Yang smiled. "I plan to look things up online and combine that with the experiences of the people around me."
"Isn't that just defrauding people?"
"Nonsense! How is that defrauding people? That's clearly imparting dating wisdom!" Lin Yang retorted.
Fu Hongli let out a cold chuckle.
Yet even when she chuckled coldly, she possessed a captivating, aloof elegance.
Lin Yang continued, "Actually, I thought about it carefully on my way over. A lot of people become terribly insecure when facing a girl they like. I can give them some confidence, give them the courage to pursue the girls they adore!"
"Confidence? What kind of confidence can you give them?" Fu Hongli asked coldly.
Lin Yang smiled. "I am my own confidence! After all, in their eyes, if a guy like me can manage to catch someone like you, isn't that inspiring enough? Isn't that convincing enough?"
Fu Hongli conceded defeat.
She truly hadn't realized this guy was so thick-skinned.
At the same time, she had to admit that Lin Yang made some sense.
When facing someone they liked, many people indeed lost their self-confidence.
If Lin Yang could genuinely give them confidence, it wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
"How much do you plan to charge per person?"
"Three hundred, I guess."
Not expensive at all.
"How many people are willing to listen to you talk about this?" Fu Hongli asked again.
"Hold on a second!"
Lin Yang opened his phone and checked the group chat.
He was startled.
It was actually already full.
Were people today really this crazy?
When he left campus, there had only been a little over three hundred people.
In just over half an hour, another hundred-plus people had joined.
Messages were flying fast in the chat.
All sorts of comments kept popping up.
Ding Baocheng had muted everyone and was starting to lay down the ground rules in the group.
Credit where credit was due, this guy really had a head for business.
"There are already five hundred people," Lin Yang said honestly.
Fu Hongli felt a jolt in her heart.
Three hundred per person—five hundred people meant a cool hundred and fifty thousand.
What a lucrative business.
