Lin Yuan first put a few fingers on Chi Qian’s white and tender wrist, and then put his five fingers together and grabbed Chi Qian.

Lin Yuan grabbed Chi Qian’s wrist instead of grabbing her hand.

Chi Qian breathed a sigh of relief from Lin Yuan’s actions.

It’s okay to grab the wrist, as holding the hand looks a little too ambiguous.

【Ding! Chi Qian's favorability +1! Reward 1000 counterattack points! 】

Hearing the system prompt in his mind, Lin Yuan smiled slightly and was not surprised.

The reason he proposed to hold Chi Qian’s hand is to establish a temptation.

If Lin Yuan does not take the initiative to test Chi Qian’s feelings and take it to the next stage, it may be impossible for something to happen with Chi Qian.

After all, if Lin Yuan does not take the initiative, there will rarely be any developments with Chi Qian.

However, when you take the initiative and establish a temptation, you still have not to go too far, otherwise, you might lose it completely.

With his current relationship with Chi Qian, that is as a friend, and her cousin’s roommate, holding hands directly is a little too far.

This state in their relationship is due to the difference in their personality and behavior. In addition, Chi Qian doesn’t like being in contact with others. Holding hands is way too much.

So, Lin Yuan chose to grab her by the wrist instead.

Chi Qian would be more at ease if Lin Yuan pulled her wrist.

There was not even the slightest resistance or disgust. Chi Qian even had a good impression of him.

So, although he failed to hold Chi Qian’s hand successfully, Lin Yuan knew that the test was a success.

Holding Chi Qian’s soft wrist, the two climbed the stairs together.

Chi Qian’s wrist was very soft and smooth.

Her white tender skin feels very soft and smooth, even with some elasticity. The feeling of her skin is the best that Lin Yuan has ever come in contact with.

While feeling the softness of Chi Qian’s skin, Lin Yuan thought of ways on how he can get to sleep with such a beautiful girl.

While Lin Yuan was immersed in his thoughts, Chi Qian was thinking too.

Chi Qian felt the slightly hot big hand that grabbed her wrist.

There was a strange feeling.

Although she had already more contact with Lin Yuan before during their fights, those are mere accidents.

Today, she agreed for Lin Yuan to hold her, which made the contact a little bit different.

It was the first time for her to be ever pulled by someone from the opposite sex like this.

Feeling Lin Yuan’s powerful hand, Chi Qian felt a little suffocated, the same feeling she gets at the thought of being in contact with other people.

But that hand’s temperature gave her some comfortable and reassuring feeling. Chi Qian felt that her heart rate was slightly strange.

The stairway was not short, but Lin Yuan and Chi Qian quickly approached the end.

The two were immersed in their own thoughts so they both felt that they were climbing very fast.

And Chi Qian roughly figured out her thoughts regarding Lin Yuan’s actions.

She didn’t like it, but she was not annoyed either.

She also felt some strangeness in her heart, which made her feel a little puzzled.

Chi Qian only knew she has a good impression of Lin Yuan.

Soon, the two had crossed the stairway and came to the flat road with street lights.

Lin Yuan did not hold on much longer to Chi Qian’s wrist and directly let go of it.

“We already passed through it.” Lin Yuan smiled.

Chi Qian blinked and smiled. “Yes, we did. Thank you.”

Chi Qian sincerely thanked Lin Yuan for helping her up the stairway.

At the same time, she felt more comfortable when Lin Yuan released her wrist.

But she was not surprised that she did not seem disgusted when Lin Yuan held her wrist.

The impression and feeling that Lin Yuan gave her have always been very good. The bad feeling she gets at the thought of being in contact with other people is the main reason why she chooses to be distant. But today, she didn’t hate the feeling of being in contact with Lin Yuan.

Chi Qian’s dormitory is not far from where they were standing. They can already see it by only a few hundred meters away.

Chi Qian glanced at Lin Yuan. Both of them are holding each other’s writing.

Chi Qian took the initiative to smile and said. “Brother Lin Yuan, I never thought that you can write such good calligraphy. Your handwriting is so good. Thank you for your gift.”

“You’re welcome, Qian Qian. Your calligraphy is also very good.” Lin Yuan smiled.

Chi Qian smiled again: “Able to sing and play the piano and write well in calligraphy. Isn’t Brother Lin Yuan proficient in everything?”

Chi Qian is amazed by Lin Yuan every time they meet.

Lin Yuan plays the piano, sings, and writes calligraphy better than her.

So, Chi Qian is curious to know where the treasure boy, Lin Yuan, is hiding his treasure.

Although Lin Yuan had shown well enough, Chi Qian knew that she definitely had a lot more to discover from him, so she asked curiously.

Lin Yuan smiled and said, “I’m not proficient in everything. I can only say I’m pretty good at playing the piano, chess, and calligraphy. I can’t paint very well.”

Lin Yuan knew that chi Qian is interested to get to know him more.

He also knew the things Chi Qian is good at.

Sure enough, after Chi Qian heard that Lin Yuan knew about chess, her eyes shone slightly.

“I also know a little bit about chess. There is a stone table at the park with a chessboard on top of it. How about we play a game?” Chi Qian said with a slightly raised mouth.

Every time Lin Yuan said that he knew a bit, Chi Qian knew roughly what Lin Yuan’s so-called general knowledge really meant.

However, she was still curious to know at what level Lin Yuan’s chess skills are.

Chess level can be divided into seventeen levels, from low to high. It is a fifteenth-level chess player, fourteenth-level chess player to a first-level chess player, and above the first-level chess player, there are alternate masters and masters.

Chi Qian’s skills are not at a low level. Although she has not been awarded a title, her grandfather is an alternate master.

And Chi Qian’s skills are quite comparable to her grandfather, although slightly lower.

But she is definitely a level almost at alternate master level.

Her level at this age is already very high.

And how high is Lin Yuan’s chess skill?

Chi Qian is curious.

Lin Yuan smiled and directly agreed to Chi Qian’s invitation.

“Okay, let’s do the chess game.”

Lin Yuan’s chess skills had already reached the divine level.

Cui Yunrong’s level is close to that of a master, but he has been beaten by Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan knew that Chi Qian’s chess skill is already at alternate master level or above. But playing with him, he knew that Chi Qian would be beaten up.

So, Lin Yuan agreed.

The two came to the park together and were ready to play chess.

However, what disappointed Lin Yuan and Chi Qian was that there was indeed a chessboard carved in the stone table but the chess pieces were incomplete.

So, the two had to leave.

“The chess pieces here are often stolen, so let us play chess another day.” Chi Qian smiled.

“Okay, let’s play another day.” Lin Yuan also nodded.

There are a lot of missing chess pieces so there is really no way for them to play.

So, Lin Yuan accompanied Chi Qian to the ground of the dormitory.

“Go upstairs and I will leave after.” Lin Yuan said.

“Thank you, Brother Lin Yuan, for sending me back.” Chi Qian smiled and nodded.

“It’s okay. Let us play chess when I have the time.” Lin Yuan waved his hand.

“Okay.” Chi Qian nodded.

“By the way, Brother Lin Yuan, do you have the time next weekend?” Chi Qian suddenly asked.

“I’m not sure. What’s the matter?” Lin Yuan responded.

“Hmmn…” Chi Qian was a little bit embarrassed to respond.

But she still said, “I just want to know if I can trouble you. We will have an exam next week. There will be two types, solo, and ensemble. Originally, Yu Shanshan would sing while I play the violin.”

“But then she said she wants to team up with her wife instead. It is okay to find a partner from outside the school, so I was hoping maybe I can ask you to be my ensemble partner. I just don’t know whether you have the time.”

As soon as he heard Chi Qian’s words, Lin Yuan knew instantly that this was another of Yu Shanshan’s plots to give him and Chi Qian more time to be together.

Chi Qian and Yu Shanshan should have been partners, but Yu Shanshan said she wanted to team up with her wife?

Chi Qian generally hates the idea of being in contact with others.

Lin Yuan and Chi Qian played together and their performance was very good.

So, if she cannot partner with Yu Shanshan, Chi Qian’s choice shall be no other than Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan felt that it was worthwhile to look after this naughty kid Yu Shanshan.

Lin Yuan nodded and said: “Okay. I’ll go back and have a look at my schedule. But I will definitely come as your ensemble partner.”

Lin Yuan naturally will not refuse the assists created by Yu Shanshan.

In many cases, it will take a long time for someone to fall in love. You need more connection to be able to embrace a beautiful woman.

An appointment to play chess is a connection.

Being Chi Qian’s ensemble is a connection.

These connections will be like silk threads, gradually entangling Chi Qian and Lin Yuan together.

Of course, Chi Qian also knew what Yu Shanshan is up to.

But apart from Yu Shanshan and Lin Yuan, she doesn’t have anyone else in her mind.

Although, if Chi Qian would go out and find an ensemble partner, those who want to team up with her would line up from the ground of the dormitory to the school gate.

But Chi Qian really didn’t like any of them.

On the contrary, the feeling of playing with Lin Yuan really made her very comfortable, and even enjoyed it.

So asking for Lin Yuan to be her ensemble because Yu Shanshan couldn’t team up with her is not the only reason why Chi Qian asked for Lin Yuan to ensemble her.

After getting Lin Yuan’s promise, Chi Qian gave a beautiful smile and said: “Thank you, Brother Lin Yuan. I’m very sorry to trouble you.”

“Actually, I found it very comfortable playing with you last time. So, I really want to play with Brother Lin Yuan again. This time my excuse is justified.” Chi Qian joked.

‘’I’m also very comfortable playing with you, Boya Ziqi. Let’s play the ‘High mountains and Running water’.” Lin Yuan also smiled. (T/N: Boya Ziqi – based on the legend of Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi. In China, they are the ideals of true friendship.) (‘High Mountains and Running Water' = ancient Chinese song meaning confidant or friends are hard to find)

“Okay. But I would like to thank Brother Lin Yuan in advance. I’ll invite you to dinner after.” Chi Qian smiled.

“You’re going to invite me to dinner again?

“Uh…” Chi Qian remembered that she had invited Lin Yuan for dinner several times.

Adding this time, a total of three times.

Although Chi Qian is quite difficult to understand, her actions are quite predictable.

But getting along with people isn’t enough, so she wants to express her gratitude.

Apart from offering dinner, Chi Qian couldn’t think of other ways to thank him.

Lin Yuan looked at the beautiful face of Chi Qian, smiled, and said, “We’ll talk about that when the time comes. I haven’t even helped you yet. How can I talk about the rewards first? And it is not actually a big deal. Let us talk about it later.”

“Okay. Goodbye, Brother Lin Yuan.”

Having heard Lin Yuan’s words, Chi Qian did not ponder anymore.

From Chi Qian’s eyes, however, Lin Yuan could see that she probably thought of other ways to express her gratitude besides eating.

After saying goodbye, Chi Qian went upstairs.

Lin Yuan also waved his hand and said, “Goodbye Qian Qian.”

And Lin Yuan left slowly.

But after seeing the dorm auntie come out of the duty room, Lin Yuan speeded up a bit.

He walked back to his car and drove home.

Lin Yuan was thinking about the Chen family on his way back home.

After constructing a rough outline, Lin Yuan decided to discuss with Mei Yuxian with his visit to their house tomorrow.

Mei Yuxian’s opinion and vision are quite unique.

…..

…..

While Lin Yuan drove home, in a very luxurious mansion in Jiangbei, there’s was a clattering sound.

The entrance of the mansion with an astonishing area was marked by the words: ‘Chen Family’.

This is the mansion of the Chen family in Jiangbei.

Somewhere in the wide hall of the Chen family residence, Chen Meng, the head of the Chen family squeezed the teacup in his hand while listening to the reports of his subordinates.

After listening, Chen Meng gritted his teeth and asked: “You mean Chen Qu who was sent to the Lin family to be undercover for more than ten years was caught by Lin Yuan and got killed?”

“Yes. I heard that Chen Qu was…was thrown and fed to the sharks…” A certain Chen family member bowed his head and reported.

“Boom!”

Chen Meng became extremely angry and threw his teacup directly to the ground, making a loud noise.
