Chapter 163: Pretending to Be a Boyfriend
"But why were you gnawing on my foot early in the morning?"
Bai Shishi extended her right leg from under the Summer Quilt, revealing her wet toes covered in Lin Tian’s saliva.
Staring at his handiwork, Lin Tian scratched his head helplessly: "Can I say I had a dream, where I was starving, and then I saw a piece of dark chocolate?"
Bai Shishi tucked her right leg back under the Summer Quilt, hands fumbling under the covers, her body swaying constantly.
"Here, consider this piece of dark chocolate a memento!"
Bai Shishi tossed the black pantyhose to Lin Tian, drenched in his saliva — who would want it now?
Lin Tian’s face turned crimson; how did he end up having such a dream first thing in the morning?
He could only helplessly stuff the black pantyhose into his pocket, planning to throw it away later.
"Hmph, you’re in luck, it even has my scent on it!"
Bai Shishi rolled her eyes at Lin Tian, speaking with mock irritation.
"Yes, yes, I’m the lucky one!"
Lin Tian didn’t feel fortunate at all; instead, he felt quite the opposite. He mistakenly thought he was licking chocolate when it was actually her foot — knowing it was a foot, even with black pantyhose, was just gross.
Did feet really have a fragrance?
In Lin Tian’s world, feet were always smelly — that’s just what he believed.
But since Bai Shishi was the boss, whatever she said had to be right!
"Feeling a bit wronged, aren’t you?"
Bai Shishi snorted coldly: "With my black pantyhose, who knows how many men dream about them!"
Lin Tian muttered internally: "Who would want a pair of torn socks!"
"Are you still in this room?" Bai Shishi questioned.
"I’m leaving now!" Lin Tian groggily walked out of the bedroom.
As Lin Tian left, Bai Shishi quickly emerged from the Summer Quilt, locking the bedroom door behind her.
Looking at her fair right leg and foot, Lin Tian was truly mischievous to do such a thing, and then claimed he dreamed about chocolate — he sure knows how to come up with excuses!
"Turns out he likes this!"
Bai Shishi blushed.
"Trying to do something good, but ended up with nothing and even got into trouble!"
Lin Tian sat on the couch, wearing a wry smile.
"How did I just fall asleep yesterday night?" Lin Tian couldn’t remember how he ended up sleeping next to Bai Shishi.
"Forget it, it’s over now, no point dwelling on it!"
Lin Tian shook his head, heading to the bathroom to wash up.
After a quick clean-up, Lin Tian stepped out of the bathroom and saw Bai Shishi holding a high heel, staring at him intently.
Bai Shishi was dressed in a white shirt and fitted trousers, a completely formal outfit, but the high heel in her hand was indeed the one she took off in the bedroom yesterday.
Bai Shishi raised an eyebrow at Lin Tian: "Where did you play with the other shoe?"
"Played with it?"
Lin Tian furrowed his brows: "What do you mean?"
"Aren’t high heels for wearing?"
"Why say they’re for playing?"
"Do I have to spell it out?"
"Did you lose it while drunk yesterday? What do you mean I played with it?"
Lin Tian crouched under the sofa, searching until he found the other high heel.
"Should I give you this pair of shoes?" Bai Shishi snatched the shoe from Lin Tian’s hand.
"No need, I can’t wear high heels anyway!"
Lin Tian replied straightforwardly: "Giving them to me would be a waste, wouldn’t it?"
"Hmph!" Bai Shishi turned on her heel and strode towards the bathroom.
"What’s wrong with the boss? She seems a bit off after sleeping?" Lin Tian was baffled.
Bai Shishi came out of the bathroom, not only washed and dressed but also cleaned the high heels.
"All set, let’s go eat!"
Lin Tian leaned on the sofa, having drank a lot last night, his stomach was feeling a bit hungry.
"Let’s go!" Bai Shishi also finished getting ready, but swapped for a new pair of high heels before leaving.
Lin Tian noticed, feeling something odd, though he couldn’t pinpoint exactly what!
They both left the house, drove to a breakfast place, and started eating with two baskets of dumplings and two bowls of soybean milk.
Originally, Lin Tian planned to pick up his admission ticket at the school after breakfast and then check the exam venue.
Turns out, after Lin Tian finished one basket of dumplings, Bai Shishi hadn’t touched her chopsticks at all.
"Why aren’t you eating? Something on your mind?" Lin Tian noticed Bai Shishi’s furrowed brows and vacant expression, realizing she must have something on her mind.
"I’m a bit troubled!"
Bai Shishi returned to her senses, looking up at Lin Tian, her previously dazed eyes now bright and lively.
"What’s troubling you?" Lin Tian asked, taking a sip of his soybean milk.
Suddenly, Bai Shishi gave Lin Tian a mysterious look: "You’re picking up your admission ticket and checking the exam venue today, right?"
"Yeah?"
Lin Tian agreed, but soon felt something was off. Bai Shishi definitely had something to say, and it probably wasn’t good news.
"Lin Tian, actually~ there’s something I’d like to discuss with you!"
Bai Shishi smiled, her tone turning sweet and sugary.
"What is it?"
Instinctively, Lin Tian felt uneasy, a storm was brewing.
"Today is my father’s birthday, could you pretend to be my boyfriend?" Bai Shishi’s words shocked Lin Tian to the point of wanting to dash outside.
"Get back here!" Bai Shishi grabbed Lin Tian’s arm.
This whole pretending to be in a relationship business with no benefits was something Lin Tian truly didn’t want to do.
Pretending to be a boyfriend?
Definitely a thankless task.
"Don’t go, let’s talk about this?" Bai Shishi said with a smile.
"Boss, why do you keep setting me up? Can’t you find someone else?" Lin Tian wanted to cry but had no tears.
"I won’t make you do it for nothing, how about I give you a little reward?" Seeing that Lin Tian was hesitating, Bai Shishi decided to use her trump card.
"Oh?" As expected, Lin Tian’s eyes sparkled: "How much?"
"One thousand?" Bai Shishi held up one finger.
Lin Tian shook his head: "That’s not sincere!"
"How about two thousand?" Bai Shishi raised two fingers.
"Still too little!"
"Five thousand!" Bai Shishi hesitated before raising five fingers.
"Let me think about it!" Lin Tian was tempted, five thousand for the trouble wasn’t a bad deal.
"Decide quickly, I’ll pay you right away if you agree!" Bai Shishi raised an eyebrow.
"Alright, five thousand it is!"
For Lin Tian, he figured he’d have to take the fall sooner or later, might as well profit from it.
"Firstly, you have to pretend to be my boyfriend, that’s the first thing!" Bai Shishi raised two fingers: "Secondly, don’t talk much, no matter what others say, just quietly listen..."
"Why?" Lin Tian was puzzled.
Was Miss Bai afraid he’d embarrass her?
"Don’t ask, I don’t even know how to explain!"
Bai Shishi reminded him: "Just remember these two things when you come to my house!"
Seeing Bai Shishi’s vague explanation, Lin Tian hurriedly asked: "Wait, if your family asks about my job, house, car, what should I say?"
"Do I have them or not?"
Since he’s pretending to be a boyfriend visiting the girl’s home, it’s a question he’s bound to face.
