Ling Yun: "?"

"Ah, wait? Why did she want to break up with you? What does it mean to be frightened?" Ling Yun said a little confused.

"The meaning of being scared... is that after she came to my house, she realized that there was a big gap in family background between her and me." Lin An looked at Ling Yun and said.

"Is your house big? The decoration is luxurious?" Ling Yun frowned and asked curiously.

"Compared to her house, my house is indeed more... luxurious." Lin An said slowly, pondering.

"You bastard, aren't you showing off your wealth to me?" Ling Yun couldn't help but scolded with a smile.

Lin An chuckled, but didn't answer.

The willow trees by the lake rustled under the breeze.

"Do you like Xia Lan?" Lin An suddenly raised his head, looked at Ling Yun, and asked.

"Tsk, your topic jumps too fast!" Ling Yun rolled his eyes when he heard this.

"I've already told you about my gossip, and it's time for you to tell me about yours too." Lin An said with a curled lip.

Ling Yun: "..."

"I can't say I like it, and I can't say I hate it." Ling Yun sighed and said a little depressed.

"Is that so? I thought you two had a good relationship!" Lin An looked at Ling Yun and said with a smile.

"To put it bluntly, the reason why I dealt with Xia Lan back then was mainly because she was rich." Ling Yun glanced at Lin An and said lightly.

Hearing Ling Yun's words, Lin An was startled at first, and then burst out laughing.

"What's so funny about it? I'm trying to get her money, and she's trying to get my ability as a succubus!" Ling Yun glared at Lin An, and said angrily, "It's a very fair deal."

"No, then your relationship is not considered a couple relationship at all!" Lin An said with a smile.

"It's not a couple in the first place..." Ling Yun muttered.

"That's it, then I can rest assured." Lin An looked at Ling Yun and said thoughtfully.

"What do you mean——then I can rest assured?" Ling Yun looked at Lin An with some puzzlement.

"Because I don't think Xia Lan is suitable for you." Lin An lowered his head slightly, looking at the bluestone road under his feet.

"It's strange, why do you all have such a bad opinion of Xia Lan?" Ling Yun asked a little puzzled.

"Actually, it's not about how bad Xia Lan's reputation is." Lin An turned his head to look at Ling Yun, and said seriously, "I'm just advising you not to fall in love with these girls from aristocratic families."

"If you get too close to a woman from a family, you will be unlucky." Lin Anyu said earnestly.

"Why?" Ling Yun looked at Lin An and asked suspiciously.

"I'm not a ready-made case!" Lin An said with a bitter smile.

Ling Yun looked at Lin An and remained silent.

"Becoming the husband of a woman from an aristocratic family means that you can only be a househusband for the rest of your life." Lin An continued.

"Being a househusband...isn't that bad? You see, at least you don't have to go out to work to make a living!" Ling Yun looked at Lin An and asked tentatively.

Thinking back to the ideal of the great teacher in the previous life, Mr. Hikigani Hachiman, isn’t it just to be a house-husband!

"What I mean is, as long as you enter a wealthy family, you can only be a vassal and a vase for the rest of your life." Lin An looked at Ling Yun and said solemnly.

"There are so many idiots and rules in these aristocratic families!" Lin An took a deep breath and said, "I've been in the Xia family for seven years, and I've had enough."

"Even if there is no need to worry about food and clothing, even if there are many servants to serve, so what? Once you live under the fence, you can only be at the mercy of those women and rely on them." Lin An became emotional as he spoke.

Ling Yun didn't speak, just looked at Lin An quietly, waiting for him to finish.

"I'm just reminding you, don't be fooled by the appearance of these aristocratic and famous families. They look glamorous on the surface, but in fact they are decayed and depressing."

After Lin An finished speaking, he took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

"I understand what you mean, thank you." Ling Yun patted Lin An's shoulder, showing a faint smile.

Looking at Ling Yun's smiling face, Lin An was in a daze.

"As expected of a succubus... this kid, he looks really good-looking when he smiles."

Lin An thought to himself in his heart.

Then, without knowing why, Lin An couldn't help it, and raised his hand to touch Ling Yun's head.

Ling Yun was stunned.

"Hey! My sexual orientation is normal!" Ling Yun quickly dodged Lin An's palm and shouted in horror.

Lin An looked at Ling Yun and laughed.

"Tch, this is the senior's affirmation and love for the younger generation! What are you thinking!" Lin An looked at Ling Yun and said with a smile.

"I don't want to be patted and killed by an old man who is almost 30 years old, Kiriki!" Ling Yun curled his lips and said angrily.

"Who are you calling old?" Lin An looked at Ling Yun and said dissatisfied.

"Did I say something wrong?" Ling Yun looked at Lin An and asked back.

"Tch, you little brat!" Lin An said, and was about to reach out to touch Ling Yun's head again.

"Fuck, disgusting! Go away!" Ling Yun looked at Lin An, shouted, and took several steps back with disgust.

"Okay, I won't joke with you, little brat." Lin An withdrew his palm and said with a smile.

"Speaking of which, I think there is a person who is actually quite suitable for you. You may consider dating her."

"I don't want to think about love so early..." Ling Yun said lightly.

"Oh, then I won't talk about it." Lin An shrugged and spread his hands, expressing helplessness.

……

The two fell into silence, one was walking by the lake, and the other was standing on the shore, staring at the distant scenery in a daze.

After a long time, Ling Yun finally couldn't help it, and broke the silence first: "Who is it?"

"Who is that?" Lin An turned around and looked at Ling Yun, pretending to be at a loss and asking.

"Don't be foolish, tell me!" Ling Yun looked at Lin An angrily, and urged.

Lin An smiled even brighter when he heard this.

"Xia Jin." Lin An said with a smile.

"Xia Jin?" Ling Yun was stunned when he heard the words, and then said with some surprise.

"Yes, I think the two of you are quite suitable." Lin An nodded and said seriously.

Chapter 37 Under the Mask

"I said, don't mess with the mandarin ducks, okay?" Ling Yun looked at Lin An and said dumbfounded.

"You should know Xia Jin, right?" Lin An asked.

"I must know her! She is a demon hunter! I used to deal with her a lot before." Ling Yun said.

"What's your impression of her?" Lin An looked at Ling Yun and asked.

"This..." Ling Yun was silent for a moment, then said, "It can't be said to be good, nor can it be said to be bad."

"To be honest, if she wasn't a demon hunter, you would be a good match for her." Lin An smiled slightly.

"Why do you think she and I are a good match?" Ling Yun asked strangely.

"I feel that you two have similar temperaments," Lin An said, "She and you are the same kind of person."

"Me and her? The same kind of people?" Ling Yun couldn't help laughing when he heard Lin An's words.

"Am I wrong?" Lin An looked at Ling Yun and asked back.

"How could it be the same!" Ling Yun shook his head and said, "I feel that my personality and hers are completely opposite!"

"You don't understand, this is called one body with two sides." Lin An explained with a smile.

"Then, in your eyes, what does my character look like?" Ling Yun asked.

"You?" Lin An looked at Ling Yun carefully, thought for a while, and said, "You just ask me to describe it, and I don't know how to describe it."

"How should I put it, you are the kind of coward who wears a mask every day and doesn't want to trust others." Lin An said.

"Who are you scolding? Do you scold again?" Ling Yun stared at Lin An and said.

"Am I wrong? You are a person who wears a mask and is good at disguising yourself." Lin Anli replied confidently.

"To be honest, even now, when you are chatting with me, you are actually wearing a mask." Lin An added after finishing speaking.

Hearing this, Ling Yun's face changed slightly, but then returned to normal.He smiled lightly and said, "Yes, I am indeed a person who is good at disguising myself."

"When you treat different people, you will switch out different masks to deal with it. Therefore, no one has ever truly understood your heart and seen your true face."

"Then tell me, what does my real face look like?" Ling Yun asked with a smile.

"I feel that you are a kind and empathetic person." Lin An said seriously.

"I'm stupid, this is the first time I've heard someone describe me like that in my life!" Ling Yun laughed loudly.

"Why do you think that I am a kind and empathetic person?" Ling Yun asked.

"Because you helped me." Lin An said.

"Help?" Ling Yun was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help being puzzled, and asked, "What did I help you with?"

"Help me leave Xia Yu and the Xia family." Lin An said.

"But have you ever thought that I'm not necessarily helping you, but using you to achieve my own goals?" Ling Yun said lightly.

"Look at you, you have put on a new mask." Lin An said to Ling Yun with a wry smile.

"You are helping me with good intentions, not using me. Because even if you and Xia Lan's plan can go smoothly without my participation." Lin An said with a smile.

"Whether I go to catch the traitor or not will have a great impact on your plan with Xia Lan?" Lin An asked back.

"Indeed not." Ling Yun nodded and admitted.

"So, I want to thank you for allowing me to take this opportunity to leave Xia's house and Xia Yu." Lin An said seriously, "Thank you."
