Chapter 440 The Unlucky Female Supporting Character in a Metaphysical Novel 17

Then he started to let his mind wander, thinking about what other parts of himself he was good-looking about.

He glanced at Yun Qing and saw that Yun Qing kept her head down, playing with his fingers, and showed no intention of looking at him anywhere else.

Does Yun Qing only have a pretty face and hands?

Pei Lin's feelings were somewhat complicated and hard to explain.

When the car stopped, Pei Lin's fingers were still being held in Yun Qing's hand.

He then took Yun Qing's hand and got out of the car, thinking that it would be good to let Yun Qing absorb some more purple energy, just in case it wasn't effective.

Since Pei Lin had so generously offered his hand, Yun Qing naturally wouldn't be stingy. She obediently let him lead her into the private restaurant, forgetting her beloved little black dragon in the car.

The private restaurant that Pei Lin chose didn't look luxurious or elegant; instead, it had a simple, unpretentious charm.

Yun Qing, a penniless man, walked in without feeling uncomfortable at all.

The private room looked quite ordinary, and the dishes served didn't look particularly fancy, but the ingredients were fresh, and the food was delicious and visually appealing.

Yun Qing was so captivated by the aroma that she ate without even looking up.

Seeing that she was eating with satisfaction, Pei Lin was in a good mood. "Isn't it delicious? The chef here was originally a royal chef, and even now, his culinary skills are still superb and he has a great reputation."

Yun Qing puffed out her cheeks and nodded repeatedly, "It's super delicious!"

Pei Lin kept putting food on her plate, saying, "Then eat more. You're too thin; it will affect your health."

Yunqing has been less unlucky lately, and is less exhausted. She's been eating well, and her complexion looks better, but she hasn't had time to gain weight yet.

Pei Lin saw her reach for the fish on the table with her chopsticks, clearly wanting to eat it, but after hesitating for a moment, she turned to the beef brisket next to her.

Pei Lin thought for a moment and guessed the reason.

Yun Qing was already particularly unlucky; she could even choke on a meatball. Fish bones are easy to get stuck in her throat.

He felt a little uneasy, and another large cloud of purple energy rolled towards Yun Qing, causing the "hemp rope" on Yun Qing's body to thicken.

Pei Lin reached out and picked up a piece of fish, carefully removing all the bones, before placing it in Yun Qing's bowl. "Eat up, there are no bones."

Yun Qing stared at the fish with the bones removed from its shell in the bowl, then paused for a moment, her eyes welling with tears of emotion. She looked at Pei Lin and said, "Linlin, you're so good to me! Honestly, I would go through fire and water for you!"

"If you keep talking nonsense, I won't bring you next time."

Yun Qing immediately shut up and looked at him pitifully.

Pei Lin reached out and helped her push up her slightly slipped glasses, softening his voice, "If you like it, we can come again tomorrow."

Yun Qing said shyly, "You don't have to come every day."

While friends don't need to be so polite, she can't keep freeloading on food and drinks!

Pei Lin suddenly sighed and said, "Actually, I have a favor to ask, but I'm a little embarrassed to say it."

Yun Qing instantly perked up. Did Lin Lin need her help? How could she miss such a good opportunity to repay her debt of gratitude?

He sat up straight and said solemnly, "Go on."

Pei Lin said with some distress, "I always feel like I don't have an appetite when I eat alone. I'm afraid I'll get stomach problems if this continues."

"You eat so heartily, it makes me want to eat more too. So, could you please be my meal buddy?"

"I might not have time in the morning, but could we eat together for lunch and dinner? If you're busy with class and don't have time to come out, I can eat with you in your cafeteria."

"It might take up some of your time, but you can refuse if it's inconvenient for you. It's okay."

In fact, Pei Lin's time is also very precious, so why doesn't he ask to eat together in the morning?

If he takes time out of his lunch and dinner to have lunch with Yun Qing, he might have to work overtime, and he probably wouldn't have the time or energy to see Yun Qing in the morning.

Yun Qing reached out and patted Pei Lin on the shoulder, saying in a very loyal manner, "What's inconvenient about this? We're friends, don't be so formal. We'll eat together from now on!"

Eating is a major event in life, and it's very uncomfortable not to eat your fill; this is based on her personal experience.

She had no doubt about Pei Lin's words, because Wen Qi and Lin Ranran would also have a big appetite just watching her eat.

Pei Lin was satisfied and said with a pure and grateful look, "Thank you so much for solving the problem that has been bothering me."

As he spoke, he took out a delicate little box, opened it, and inside was a bracelet that looked very expensive and beautiful. Then he took Yun Qing's hand off his shoulder, put it directly on her wrist, and said:

"This was a gift from the brand. I don't need it. It's not really suitable for my mom's age. You're my only female friend, so I can only give it to you as a token of my gratitude."

After saying that, he looked at her expectantly and asked, "Do you like it?"

Looking at him with those bewitching eyes, Yun Qing had no way to refuse, and swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

Those eyelashes, which seemed capable of swinging on a swing, trembled slightly again, and she immediately became dizzy with excitement. "I love it, I love it so much!"

Then a smile spread across those eyes.

Yun Qing stared wide-eyed, and a silly grin appeared on her face.

Pei Lin's smile deepened; it seems that being good-looking is indeed useful.

He secretly glanced at Yun Qing, wondering if she had actually absorbed the purple aura.

If he and Yun Qing eat together every day, they should be close enough, right?

That should allow Yun Qing to absorb enough purple energy to neutralize her bad luck, right?

This is also a good opportunity for Yun Qing to nourish her body. She is so thin that it feels like you could easily lift her up with one hand.

He started serving food to Yun Qing again.

However, this time Yun Qing didn't just focus on eating.

She would pay special attention to whether Pei Lin had eaten, and would often put food on his plate. She would only feel at ease after watching him eat, for fear that he would go hungry and develop stomach problems.

Pei Lin quite enjoyed being managed by her and was in a good mood.

As I was leaving after dinner, I ran into Ji Yan—a former member of my brotherhood.

Actually, he hadn't even noticed Ji Yan at first. As he led Yun Qing out of the private room, he was still trying to fool her, "My company has a lot of business and many partners who always like to give me gifts. Sometimes I even have a headache about how to deal with them..."

He was halfway through his sentence when Yun Qing suddenly hid behind him.

Pei Lin turned his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yun Qing peeked out from behind him, pushed up her slipped glasses, and looked ahead, saying, "That person's gaze at me is so strange."

Yun Qing was somewhat worried. Could this be some kind of murderer? Was she being targeted?

Although she has neither wealth nor beauty, given how unlucky she is, who knows?

And she was still anxiously waiting for the deadly danger to strike after her stroke of luck!

Pei Lin frowned as he followed her gaze and saw Ji Yan raise an eyebrow at him, his gaze falling on the hands he and Yun Qing were holding, his eyes full of meaning.

Yun Qing thought Ji Yan's gaze was strange, but it was just that Ji Yan was curious about the person who could make Pei Lin's heart flutter.

He didn't look down on Yun Qing, who was neither rich nor beautiful, or think she was unworthy of Pei Lin.

Pei Lin isn't some clueless, love-struck fool. He's shrewd. He knows better than anyone whether someone is good enough for him.

As for not having money, does Pei Lin lack that little bit of money?

As for appearance, Ji Yan didn't think Yun Qing was ugly, just that she looked very thin and wasn't dressed up.

Even with bangs and glasses covering her face, a closer look reveals that her features are actually quite attractive.

Even her eyes were striking and very expressive.

If it weren't for the glasses, those eyes alone would be quite endearing.

Pei Lin frowned even more when he saw Ji Yan. He reached out and pressed Yun Qing's peeked-out head back, saying to her, "This guy doesn't look like a good person. Let's keep our distance."

Ji Yan appears ascetic, always buttoning his shirt all the way up, with nothing out of place from head to toe, but in reality, he's a refined scoundrel.

Jian Xingzhou appears gentle and affectionate, with an elegant demeanor and impeccable manners, but in reality, he is a cunning fox.

These two... are both quite good-looking.

Jian Xingzhou even went into the entertainment industry and made a name for himself.

Yun Qing nodded obediently, grabbed his arm and said, "Then let's go quickly."

Pei Lin pulled Yun Qing away in a roundabout way.

Ji Yan: ...Pei Lin, you can do it!

He was almost laughing out of anger.

This is utterly inhumane when it comes to the opposite sex!

You still say you're just friends? Do all your friends hold hands?

Then why didn't you hold my and Jian Xingzhou's hands?
