"He seems quite refined, looks like he must be a really nice guy!"

"Yeah, he's very refined!"

Ning Yuhuan's eyes instantly formed into crescent moons, and when Xu Lin was mentioned, they sparkled with light.

"Where is he? Still not down yet."

On the other side, after Xu Lin drove off, he called Rong Xiyi.

But it was eight-thirty in the morning, and Rong Xiyi was likely still sleeping in at that time.

It took Xu Lin three calls to finally get through.

Once connected, as expected, Rong Xiyi was sleeping. Xu Lin told her to get up quickly and wait for him downstairs.

Xu Lin was on his way back to the community, urging Xiyi to get up.

Xu Lin thought that would solve it, but he indeed underestimated Rong Xiyi's habit of lying in.

When he drove to the gate of the community and couldn't see Rong Xiyi, he sent a message over.

But Rong Xiyi didn't respond, so he made a call, which also went unanswered.

"Damn it, still not up."

Xu Lin thought for a moment and then messaged Xia Xiyao.

"Are you at my place?"

Generally, Xia Xiyao would be around on Fridays and Saturdays.

"Here!"

Xia Xiyao replied instantly. She wasn't one for sleeping in, usually getting up quite early.

"Then go wake Yanyan up."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

A minute later.

"Xu Lin, Xiyi's awake."

Buzz buzz...

At that moment, Rong Xiyi's call came through.

"Xu Lin, I'm up."

"Be down in fifteen minutes, or I won't take you out today. If you keep dawdling, I'd be better off staying home gaming."

"Ah, why just fifteen minutes?"

"Just don't shower?"

"But I still need to do my makeup..."

"Skip the makeup. You're not some monster, damn it, hurry up. If I don't see you in fifteen minutes, I'm heading back."

"Alright, fine. Wait for us…"

Fourteen minutes later, Xu Lin finally saw Rong Xiyi and Xia Xiyao.

Both girls were dressed similarly today, in hoodies and jeans, with hoodies in different colors but the jeans identical—loose-fitting, deep blue.

"Xu Lin, I feel uncomfortable without showering."

Rong Xiyi got in the car, sitting in the front passenger seat, while Xia Xiyao sat in the back.

"I called you half an hour ago, and you ignored me, kept sleeping. If it wasn't you, but some other girl today, I'd have won if they even saw me. Do you think I'd pamper you?"

"Hmph! Xu Lin, I was just too sleepy; I didn't sleep until two a.m. last night."

Rong Xiyi yawned. Last night, practicing dance—with Xia Xiyao, dressed in Christmas outfits, mostly just hand gestures and slight movements—not difficult moves, but Xiyi dragged Xiyao along practicing for quite a while, only going to sleep after two.

Xu Lin didn't plan to answer that, just told her to lean over, supporting herself with her hands on his thighs.

So, Rong Xiyi leaned over, sticking her butt up in the passenger seat.

Her butt was naturally not small, and this position made it look even bigger.

Xu Lin reached over and gave her a few slaps.

"Ouch! Xu Lin, why are you hitting me?"

"For disobeying? Call me brother!"

"Brother!"

"Next time you dawdle like this, call me daddy!"

"Hmph!"

"Sit properly, fasten your seatbelt."

"Got it!"

Rong Xiyi responded, sat back, and Xu Lin turned to look at Xia Xiyao, "Seatbelt."

"Xu Lin, I already did."

"Okay."

Many people in the back seat don't really like using seatbelts, but in the front seat, because of cameras, they buckle up. But in the back? Some people are careless, thinking accidents are far away from them.

Xu Lin felt it was necessary to buckle the back seat because you never know if tomorrow or the Accident comes first.

"Xu Lin, when did you pick up the car?"

After securing her seatbelt, Rong Xiyi began to look around in the car.

She wasn't particularly impressed by luxury cars since her family also had cars. Her dad had a Bentley Continental and a Rolls-Royce, and her half-brother's eighteenth-birthday gift was a McLaren supercar, while her half-sister got a birthday gift—a Panamera, though not the GTS version.

Rong Xiyi shared the same birthday, but didn't even get a speck of dust.

Once Xu Lin got a car, she felt like she had one too. Wherever she wanted to go, Xu Lin would drive her, so she was in high spirits.

"Picked it up yesterday."

"So I'm the first passenger?"

"Yeah."

But actually, she was the second.

Xu Lin naturally wouldn't mention it, otherwise, Rong Xiyi would certainly sulk.

Upon hearing this, Rong Xiyi became even happier, snapping several selfies from the passenger seat. In two of the photos, Xu Lin was included. Rong Xiyi felt something was still missing, so she had Xia Xiyao join in the frame, and the three of them took a group photo.

"Sit tight, I'm starting to drive."

Xu Lin reminded.

Only then did the two girls settle down in the car, and in the back, they began chatting away.

Today, they were headed out for fun.

Plenty of activities around on Christmas Eve.

Like the lively matchmaking corner Xu Lin and his friends passed by, bustling with activity.

"Xu Lin, let's go check out the matchmaking corner!"

Rong Xiyi suddenly had the impulse, having previously seen some outrageous scenes there on short videos, so the timing was perfect to see it for herself.

"Alright, let's go check it out!"

Xu Lin was also in the mood for some entertainment.

The three of them quickly arrived at the matchmaking corner, seeing both men and women, youngsters, middle-aged folks, and older men, chattering away like in a marketplace.
