Chapter 11 – Lin Shuangyu Works Hard to Build a Fake Personality

In fact, although Lin Shuangyu seemed to have gained some weight, his waist still looked very slim.

The main reason was that since before Lin Shuangyu’s waist was too thin, and now that he had gained weight, in his belly, even if his belly was just a little bigger, it was clearly noticeable.

Lin Shuangyu: “As a man, it’s useless for me to be too thin.”

“Well, indeed, you should gain some weight. You are too thin.”

After Pei Jichuan finished speaking, the silence shrouded once again.

“I want to continue painting.” Seeing that Pei Jichuan had nothing else to say, Lin Shuangyu politely asked him to leave.

“Um.”

Pei Jichuan responded but did not leave. Instead, he sat down on a chair, as if he wanted to watch Lin Shuangyu paint.

Under a disguised personality, Lin Shuangyu could do nothing to the other party. All he could do was pick up the painting tray again. Just as he dipped the brush into the paint, he heard Pei Jichuan suddenly ask: “Besides painting, what other hobbies do you have?”

“Nothing.” Lin Shuangyu answered straightforwardly.

“Special skills count, too. For example,” Pei Jichuan stared at him with a sharp gaze and uttered a word, “singing.”

“…”

Lin Shuangyu subconsciously clenched his hand holding the paintbrush.

‘You’re still testing me, you’re determined not to let go, right?’

“I don’t like singing,” He answered shyly, “I’m tone-deaf.”

“I see……”

As if he was just chatting, Pei Jichuan had no intention of delving into the matter further.

However, before Lin Shuangyu could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Pei Jichuan suddenly say, “I have been extremely interested in you since the first time we met, and you never seem to be surprised by this.”

“……” Damn, Lin Shuangyu really hadn’t considered this loophole.

But he reacted quickly, saying “Huh?” in a daze, “So you’re interested in me? I just thought you were approachable.”

Now it was Pei Jichuan’s turn to be speechless. It was probably the first time he had heard someone describe him as approachable.

“Shuangyu, stop painting and come to my house for dinner…”

At this moment, Wang Jin walked into the store, twirling the key of his electric bike with his fingers. Seeing Pei Jichuan, who looked like a man of high standing and didn’t seem to fit in with him, he was stunned for three seconds before uttering the last word, “Food.”

Lin Shuangyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

“Oh, Shuangyu, is this your friend?” Wang Jin looked at Pei Jichuan and asked.

Lin Shuangyu reluctantly introduced: “He is my eldest cousin in the Pei family.”

Wang Jin didn’t know about the subtle things going on between Lin Shuangyu and the Pei family. The two were in completely different circles, and Lin Shuangyu was a bit of a holdout. He had been told that Lin Lan was doing well, and the thick-skinned Wang Jin naturally assumed that he was doing well too.

As a result, Wang Jin had a good impression of the Pei family, and immediately said enthusiastically: “So you are my Shuangyu’s cousin. I am so sorry for being so disrespectful. Cousin, have you eaten yet? If you don’t mind that our place is shabby, would you like to go to my house and have lunch together?”

Lin Shuangyu wanted to slap his stupid friend, and immediately tried to turn down the enthusiastic invite: “Cousin must be…”

Pei Jichuan: “I don’t mind.”

Lin Shuangyu: “…”

Wang Jin invited Pei Jichuan just out of politeness. The other party’s attire matched him with something out of a high-end restaurant, with a napkin tied around his chest, cutting steak elegantly with a knife and fork, and a chef standing beside him.

If he showed the slightest dislike for the food, the chef would immediately make modifications for it to suit his taste. Pei Jichuan looked as if he was not used to the homely meals in a place like Wang Jin’s. Thus, the latter was prepared to be rejected.

Unexpectedly, Pei Jichuan agreed without even frowning, and Wang Jin’s liking for him immediately rose to a higher level.

“So what are we waiting for? My mom heard that Shuangyu was coming over today, so she made her famous braised pork elbow. Hey, let’s go… By the way, Shuangyu, what were you about to say?”

Lin Shuangyu didn’t want to talk anymore.

The streets here are very small, and Pei Jichuan’s car did not come in. There was only a small electric scooter, which could not accommodate three people. Fortunately, Wang Jin’s house was only a few minutes’ walk away, so the three of them walked there together.

However, their combination was really strange, mainly because Pei Jichuan’s clothes and temperament were too high-end and did not fit in here, so they received a lot of stares along the way.

Lin Shuangyu has lived here for several years. Some of his neighbors still recognize him. One woman even joked with him, “Oh, Shuangyu has brought back his boyfriend. What a handsome boy!”

Lin Shuangyu’s face turned black.

“Aunt, he is Shuangyu’s cousin.” Wang Jin helped explain.

“Ohhh, haha.”

Amid the aunt’s awkward laughter, Lin Shuangyu quickened his pace, distanced himself from Pei Jichuan, and heard Pei Jichuan casually say, “It seems the people here are very familiar with Shuangyu?”

“Yes, Aunt Lan brought him here to live for several years. They rented my house. I thought you knew.”

Pei Jichuan: “I have been in Haishi.”

“Is that so? Hehe, Shuangyu used to be a popular figure on our Wutong Street. Many people knew him.”

Pei Jichuan’s eyes moved, and when he was about to say something, he heard Lin Shuangyu call out, “Wang Dabao!”

Wang Jin has a younger sister who has been the family’s favorite since birth. Everyone in the family calls her Xiao Bao, so some people jokingly call Wang Jin Wang Dabao.

“Huh? What’s wrong?”

Lin Shuangyu glanced at Pei Jichuan, seemed a little afraid of him, and whispered: “I left my phone in your store.”

Wang Jin felt that his childhood friend was a little puzzled, but he couldn’t explain why. He scratched his head and said, “It’s okay. You guys go ahead and I’ll get it for you.”

Wang Jin turned back to get his cell phone. Lin Shuangyu said, “Let’s go,” and quickly led the way.

Pei Jichuan’s unclear gaze fell on Lin Shuangyu’s back for a moment, and he followed with his long legs.

Wang Jin’s house is a six-story building that he built himself. He lives on the first floor and rents out the other five floors. The first floor has a small courtyard of a few square meters with a sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the courtyard. Now it is autumn and the sweet-scented osmanthus is fragrant.

There is a stone table under the osmanthus tree, on which are placed several plates of steaming dishes.

When they entered, a middle-aged woman wearing an apron was bringing a plate of brightly colored braised pork elbows to the table.

The woman saw Lin Shuangyu coming in first and said with a smile: “Shuangyu is here, huh? This is…”

Her eyes fell on Pei Jichuan who came in later.

Lin Shuangyu pinched his nose and introduced: “Aunt Gui, this is my cousin, Pei Jichuan.”

When Mrs. Wang heard his last name, she immediately realised who he was.

“So it’s Shuangyu’s cousin. Come and sit down. This place is quite messy, so please don’t mind.”

Mrs. Wang felt more and more embarrassed as she spoke, mainly because Pei Jichuan seemed to stand out here, like an elite who had walked into the wrong film set.

“It’s pretty good here.” Pei Jichuan said.

Mrs. Wang smiled brightly and asked them to sit down.

On the other hand, Wang Jin had just walked to the door of the store when he received a WeChat message from Lin Shuangyu, who had earlier claimed that he had forgotten his phone in the store.

[I have my phone with me, please come back by bike]

Wang Jin: “…”

Wang Jin was almost confused by the antics of his childhood friend, and rode his electric scooter back home in frustration. However, his yard had a threshold, so he couldn’t ride the scooter in and had to park it outside.

He had just parked the car when he saw Lin Shuangyu coming out. He was about to speak when Lin Shuangyu made a “hush” gesture at him.

Wang Jin: ?

Just when Wang Jin was wondering what Lin Shuangyu was doing, Lin Shuangyu walked up to him quickly, suddenly grabbed his collar and pressed him against the wall of the yard.

“From now on, I’m a quiet, unpopular person. I’m dumb, unlovable, can’t sing, and have no taste. Everyone hates me except you. Don’t show anything besides this in front of Pei Jichuan, understand?”

Wang Jin: “Ah?”

“If you do it right, I’ll paint your wall beautifully. If you don’t do it right,” Lin Shuangyu said grimly, “I’ll paint you a mess of shit. You’ll be the paint.”

Wang Jin shrank his neck.

Wang Jin thought of the days when he followed Lin Shuangyu and called him brother, and nodded quickly.

Lin Shuangyu let him go: “Let’s go in.”

Wang Jin followed in confusion.

Pei Jichuan was sitting on a small stone bench next to a stone table, looking at his cell phone. He was tall and had long legs, and sitting on the small stone bench, there was really nowhere to put his long legs, so he could only bend them, looking very uncomfortable, but he was surprisingly calm.

“Did you get the phone?” Pei Jichuan put down his phone and looked over.

Wang Jin wanted to say something, but he heard Lin Shuangyu say, “I got it.”

“Yes, yes, he got it, haha.”

Seeing another person coming, Mrs. Wang was afraid that there wouldn’t be enough food, so she hurried to add more dishes. Wang Jin went into the house to get a drink.

Lin Shuangyu had just sat down when he heard Pei Jichuan, who was sitting opposite him, ask, “Is this the house you used to rent?”

Lin Shuangyu felt that sooner or later he would have a heart attack from Pei Jichuan’s sudden words, so he lowered his head and said submissively, “Yes, the sixth floor.”

Pei Jichuan looked up. The sixth floor was the top floor, the floor with the best lighting in the entire building, but this was also its only advantage. The top floor would be very hot in the summer. This old house had no elevator, and it was very difficult to go up and down, so the rent was also the lowest, and only those who were short of money would rent it.

“What about now?”

“Now I rent a house on Changning Street.”

“Are you sure you don’t want to work for me? My company’s salary and benefits are pretty good.”

Pei Jichuan actually thought that he was poor and was helping him out of poverty in disguise?

Lin Shuangyu felt it was a little funny.

“No need. I’m socially anxious and I get dizzy when there are too many people around me.” Lin Shuangyu didn’t forget his original intention. As soon as he opened his eyes, he distanced himself from Liln.

He would get dizzy when encountering many people. But, Liln was the queen of the stage. How could they be the same person?

At this time, Wang Jin brought out a large bottle of iced Coke and saw that they were sitting there doing nothing. He said, “Use your chopsticks! The food will get cold soon.”

Lin Shuangyu picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of fried eggs with chives and started eating. He thought Pei Jichuan would definitely test Wang Jin again, but he didn’t.

Wang Jin is a person who loves to talk. He can talk endlessly. Somehow the topic at the table turned to his partner.

Wang Jin asked curiously, “Cousin, do you have a fiancée like those rich young masters in TV dramas have?”

“No.”

Wang Jin was a little disappointed, and then he heard Pei Jichuan say, “There’s only one person I can’t catch up with.”

Lin Shuangyu’s heart skipped a beat, and then he thought his reaction was a little funny.

How could the man be possibly referring to Liln?

Wang Jin’s eyes widened. Pei Jichuan had such an elite style and impeccable appearance. Not to mention that he was obviously a strong Alpha, even if he was a Beta and liked a high-level Omega, there was no question of him not being able to catch up.

“Why?”

“I have poor aesthetic taste. The dresses and jewelry I bought are too straight for men.”

Wang Jin slapped his thigh and said, “You should ask a person like Shuangyu to help you with this. He…”

Before he could finish his words, Lin Shuangyu, who suddenly realized that this was a trap set by the bastard, stepped on Wang Jin’s foot under the table in a hurry.

Wang Jin almost blurted out, “Shuangyu, why are you stepping on me?”, but when Lin Shuangyu glanced at him, he remembered the threat of excrement. He shuddered, and then, using all his acting skills, he laughed dryly and continued, “His taste is so bad that it’s infuriating. He can’t even pass the first level of the dress-up game. You should just make the opposite choice, which is perfect.”

Pei Jichuan: “…”

Pei Jichuan glanced at Lin Shuangyu, who was calmly eating his food and said, “This is it.”

“Yeah! Even though Shuangyu used to be the most popular girl on Wutong Street, he’s actually never been popular with girls. Not only does he have a bad taste, but he’s also a dull person and submissive. He doesn’t have any talent, his singing is off-tune, and his dancing is like he’s having an epileptic seizure. He can only be in cahoots with me.”

Lin Shuangyu gave his childhood friend a thumbs up in his heart and moved his foot away from his shoe.

Who said Wang Jin was careless and had no tact? He was very tactful.
