“If you’re not enthusiastic about your meal, there’s something wrong with your mind.”
As for casually earning him a million League coins, that was just incidental.
Following the location all the way to the restaurant, Lin Su quickly saw a young girl standing at the entrance of the restaurant.
She was a girl with long black hair typical of the girl next door. A streak of silver dyed hair made her look lively and spirited. A white blouse and a short plaid skirt highlighted her lovely figure beautifully. Her straight and long legs appeared even more lustrous in black stockings, and her delicate features had a bit of youthfulness. However, the bright makeup on her face leaned more towards a mature style.
Just standing at the entrance waiting, the girl drew the attention of many passersby.
However, Lin Su’s attention was mostly on the lazy Xue Henqing lying on top of the girl’s head.
Compared to Qiuqiu before its evolution, this Xue Henqing was a bit larger and more mature, less cute but more graceful and elegant.
Clearly, this was an elite-tier Xue Henqing.
This must be the senior, right?
Although he had never seen a picture, Xue Henqing was enough to confirm her identity.
Gu Shumo’s bright eyes lit up instantly when she noticed Lin Su approaching, and leveraging the railing with a slight push, she sprang up and started jogging towards him, “Boss! Let’s go eat! We’ll chat while we eat.”
“Hello, senior sister.”
Lin Su nodded and couldn’t help but smile when he looked at the Xue Henqing on Gu Shumo’s head, “Little guy, hello.”
While greeting Xue Henqing, he extended a hand towards its head.
“Meow? (≖ω≖)” (Who are you?)
Xue Henqing wasn’t appreciative of Lin Su’s affection.
It dodged its head back and even slapped Lin Su’s hand away with a little paw.
Lin Su: “…”

Gu Shumo: “…”
“Uh…” Gu Shumo cleared her throat, her expression becoming animated, “Shall we eat first?”
“Okay.” Lin Su silently withdrew his hand, acting as if nothing had happened, and headed towards the restaurant right in front of them.
After trailing behind Lin Su for a few steps, Gu Shumo silently took out a mirror from her little bag and checked her face in it.
Is my makeup smudged?
No, it looks fine, right?
Did the boss really not glance at me even once just now?!
Gu Shumo gritted her teeth, feeling as if her meticulously applied makeup was in vain.
Even less attractive than a cat!
Walking ahead, Lin Su naturally didn’t know what Gu Shumo was thinking; he pinched his chin, lost in thought.
Having been with Qiuqiu for a while, he had almost forgotten that the Xue Henqing species was shy and aloof.
So much so that he subconsciously reached out to pet the Xue Henqing, thinking it might rub against his hand like Qiuqiu would…
Thinking this, Lin Su couldn’t help but feel dumbfounded.
Indeed, Qiuqiu was one of a kind.
After a few steps, Lin Su paused slightly, turning his head to Gu Shumo, “Uh… senior sister, where shall we sit?”
The restaurant was booked by Gu Shumo, so naturally, only she knew the seating. He was so engrossed in his thoughts that he almost got lost heading inside.
“Oh, right at the far end, then the first private room on the left.” Gu Shumo also snapped back to reality, surveyed the area, and quickly led Lin Su into the private room.
It was only after they entered the private room and closed the door that the atmosphere between the two normalized.
“Boss…”
“You can just call me Junior Brother.” Lin Su cleared his throat, “I should be a first-year freshman at Mountain City University soon.”
Being called “boss” repeatedly by this sister who was three years his senior made him somewhat uncomfortable.
“Well, okay, Junior Brother.” Gu Shumo brightened up, instantly grinning, “The dishes will take a while to come; let me introduce myself first, I am Gu Shumo! Do you think my name sounds good?”
Lin Su: “…”
Asking someone during an introduction if her own name sounds good, really?
“Sounds good?” he ventured tentatively.
“Yes, I knew it!” Satisfied with the response she wanted, Gu Shumo’s smile deepened, “Before the catastrophe, there was a tradition of naming based on the eight characters of a birthdate and the five elements, which my family still follows. When I was born lacking metal and water in my elements, my dad named me Gu Shumo.”
Lin Su nodded in understanding, then his expression faltered slightly. freewebnσvel.cѳm
Something wasn’t quite right.
Lacking metal and water…
And named Gu Shumo?
“Uh…” Lin Su coughed lightly, “Senior sister, I understand the ‘Shumo’ part because it has ‘mo,’ which refers to water. But what does ‘Shu’ for lacking metal have to do with anything?”
“E-books!” Gu Shumo pulled out her communicator and waved it in front of Lin Su, “Isn’t a communicator made of metal?”
Lin Su: “???”
E-books, my god, it’s not that you lack metal, it’s that you lack batteries!
“Anyway, that’s not important.” Gu Shumo waved her hand dismissively, her eyes filled with anticipation, “This is my Xue Henqing, called Xue Tuanzi. Junior Brother, can I see your Xue Henqing?”
Thinking of the evolutionarily different but equally attractive Xue Henqing in the pictures Lin Su had sent her, the heavily appearance-focused Gu Shumo couldn’t contain her burning soul eager to pet a cat!
“No problem.” Lin Su nodded, and at his feet, a faint yellow light wove into an array, quickly revealing Qiuqiu’s form at his feet.
