My skill tree increases every day.

Mo Wenxue wore a pair of huge aviator sunglasses that covered half of her face, but her gaze was fixed on Chen Shuyan by the window.

Seeing Chen Shuyan straighten her back instantly upon Lin Yu's arrival, and then shrink her bright white legs under the table nervously when Lin Yu's gaze swept over her.

Mo Wenxue ground her molars in exasperation.

It's such a good thing I prepared this outfit for her today!

……

Another corner of the coffee shop.

Ruan Yunxian blinked.

Her gaze unconsciously focused on Chen Shuyan, whose fitted shirt neatly covered her upper body, and the black tie at the collar subtly drew attention.

The most eye-catching feature was undoubtedly her pair of long, white legs, which appeared even more slender as they were squeezed under the low table in the coffee shop.

Looking down, Ruan Yunxian's gaze passed over her flat chest and fell unobstructed to her feet. Then she looked at the table in front of her.

Why does it seem so much higher than the table on her side?

Why are the tables in this coffee shop all the same size? The purchasing department must be taking kickbacks!

……

Pet rest area outside the coffee shop.

Lumi looked at the Samoan and the Husky that were also tied up there.

He grinned and stuck out his tongue.

(It's so hot.)

……

"Then I'll give it a try?" Lin Yu's tone carried a hint of apprehension.

You were just saying you wanted to tutor, but now that the opportunity is right in front of you, why are you still hesitating?

Ultimately, it was Lin Yu's remaining conscience and inferiority complex that were causing the problem.

What if I can't handle it? They want a top student from Wudong University, and I'm just a lowly student from Qingzhou University of Science and Technology...

"It's okay, I'll help you." Chen Shuyan smiled. "I'll send you the information later. Take a look first, and feel free to ask me any questions."

"Oh, and this too."

Chen Shuyan took out a small card from her bag.

"You've been a huge help."

Upon receiving the ID card, Lin Yu felt a huge weight lifted from his heart, and Chen Shuyan's smile became even warmer.

The two briefly confirmed the time and place for their meeting next week, and Chen Shuyan sent over the information.

After finishing their business, Lin Yu glanced at the time, stood up, and said, "I'll be going now; I have work to do at the shop this afternoon."

"Okay, let's go." Chen Shuyan also stood up.

The two walked together toward the entrance of the coffee shop.

Mo Wenxue quickly buried her head in the magazine.

Ruan Yunxian subconsciously turned to the side and looked out the window.

Pushing open the door, the intense afternoon heat and the noise of the street rushed in.

Lin Yu had just taken a step when he heard a familiar dog barking from the side.

"Woof."

Turning his head, Lin Yu saw a bunch of bright black eyes.

The Alaskan Malamute, which had been listless just moments before, suddenly stood up as if it had been injected with chicken blood, its fluffy tail wagging wildly as it tried to pounce on Lin Yu.

Perhaps because he was too excited and forgot about the leash behind him, the chubby dog ​​was suddenly pulled and stumbled, falling to the ground.

Chen Shuyan clearly noticed the overly enthusiastic chubby dog ​​as well, and paused for a moment, asking, "What's this?"

"Oh, this should be my junior's dog, named Lumi. I just gave it a bath this morning," Lin Yu explained, walking over and bending down to help the fallen dog up.

These days, it's relatively safe to help up any dog ​​that's fallen down.

"What an adorable puppy!"

Chen Shuyan also stepped forward, squatted down, and was about to extend her hand, but hesitated.

"Don't worry, it shouldn't bite." Lin Yu smiled. "I gave it a bath and it didn't bite me at all. It's very well-behaved."

Besides enjoying battling with the showerhead.

Chen Shuyan then gently lowered her hand and rubbed the thick fur on its head.

"Its name is Lumi? How cute."

She gently stroked Lumi's head, across its erect ears, and her hand moved down the dog's head, inadvertently touching Lin Yu's hand, who was pulling on the chubby dog's cheek.

Inside the coffee shop, Mo Wenxue, who was peeking from the edge of a magazine, saw this scene, and her eyes behind her sunglasses lit up:

Yes! That's it! Where did that little puppy come from? What a helpful wingman! I'll buy you some sausages as a reward later!

Sitting in another corner, one could clearly see Ruan Yunxian at the door, her cheeks slightly puffed out.

Didn't you say you didn't need Lumi's help? And Lumi, look at your pathetic self, they were just looking down on you!

...You big idiot!

Lin Yu squatted on the other side, rubbing the dog's head with both hands, touching Chen Shuyan's hand, and then letting go.

He casually asked, "Have you ever owned a dog before?"

Chen Shuyan paused slightly, her voice softening: "Yes, my family kept one when I was little, but that was a long time ago."

Just as the two were playing with the dog in a pleasant atmosphere, a crisp sound rang out.

"Lumi!"

Lin Yu subconsciously looked up and gazed towards the entrance of the coffee shop.

It really was Ruan Yunxian.

Seeing Lin Yu turn to look at her, Ruan Yunxian stuck out her tongue at Lin Yu and made a face.

Don't we not need Lumi?

Lin Yu's expression remained unchanged.

Lumi pounced on him herself; it has nothing to do with me.

"Lumi, you're being naughty again! Come down here!"

Ruan Yunxian stepped forward, patted Lumi, whose upper body was lying on Chen Shuyan's lap, grabbed its front paws, picked it up, and lifted it off Chen Shuyan's lap.

Slightly turn the dog around and put it on the ground.

Whether by coincidence or not, Lumi landed right next to Chen Shuyan and Lin Yu, cleverly occupying the tiny space between them.

"Junior sister," Lin Yu straightened up and introduced, "This is Chen Shuyan. Chen Shuyan, this is my junior sister Ruan Yunxian, who is also Lumi's owner."

"Hello, sister!" Ruan Yunxian immediately turned to face Chen Shuyan. "My name is Ruan Yunxian! You're so beautiful, sister! Your figure and temperament are amazing! When I saw you from afar, I thought you were a celebrity!"

"Hello. My name is Chen Shuyan. You flatter me."

"You're not flattering me at all!" Ruan Yunxian blinked, her gaze quickly sweeping over Chen Shuyan before landing on Lin Yu. "Senior, where did you meet such a beautiful lady? You've kept it well hidden!"

Lin Yu: "..."

No wonder he's a social terrorist.

Ruan Yunxian quickly started chatting with Chen Shuyan.

Even though she had only known Chen Shuyan for less than five minutes, Ruan Yunxian acted as if she were chatting with her best friend whom she hadn't seen for years.

Lin Yu was so eager that he couldn't get a word in edgewise.

Mo Wenxue looked at the three people chatting happily at the door.

……

To be precise, it was Ruan Yunxian who was enthusiastically expressing herself, while Chen Shuyan responded with a polite smile.

Lin Yu couldn't get in at all.

All they could do was sit awkwardly to the side, hugging the dog and smiling sheepishly.

Sitting at the same table as a dog is just... well, let's just say it's unbelievable.

She raised an eyebrow, which was hidden behind her sunglasses.

Where did this little green tea bitch come from? This little brat is quite something.

Who knew Lin Yu was so popular!

Although he is indeed quite handsome.
