Lin Yao straightened his chest and pulled in his stomach, feeling a bit bloated and uncomfortable.
Looking up, I saw a girl standing in front of me wearing a dark blue woolen trench coat over a bright green cashmere sweater, a thick leather belt with shiny buckles, tight black trousers, and black knee-high fashion boots.
Oops, I forgot to look at her face!
Lin Yao quickly tilted his head back, feeling that he had become corrupted since coming to the capital. He started looking at women from the middle down, focusing only on their beautiful figures in early spring, and didn't even know who they were or recognize their voices.
She had a slender neck and fair skin, and didn't look like a girl from the north.
She has big eyes and somewhat sparse eyebrows, but she has made up for this flaw by getting her eyebrows tattooed. However, the tattooed eyebrows are drawn upwards, which is exactly the kind of eyebrow shape that Lin Yao dislikes the most.
Her nose was small and straight, like a miniature white radish, quite adorable. Her lips were very thin, extremely thin. According to physiognomy, this indicated a cold and unfaithful person, ruining the otherwise beautiful features of her broad face and pointed chin. Even her cloud-like hair couldn't win Lin Yao's heart, the kind of heart he truly loved.
"Oh, it's you, Vivienne." Lin Yao gave a friendly smile. "What a coincidence!"
“Yes, what a coincidence.” Vivienne quickly left her female companion, walked to Lin Yao’s side, and took his arm.
"Uh..." Lin Yao was a little confused by Fei Wenni's sudden attack. He thought to himself, "What's going on here? We're not even that close yet!"
Noticing Lin Yao's stiffness, Fei Wenni giggled, her voice clear and crisp, and introduced him to her two female companions, "Benben, Qiqi, this is Lin Yao. Don't you think he's a handsome guy? He's my boyfriend."
"Uh...what?" Lin Yao was completely stunned. The sudden shock made his head spin.
I've heard of conscripting men, but I've never heard of picking up men on the street!
Uh... aside from working in women's special entertainment industry.
Before Lin Yao could even express his doubts, the two girls opposite him, who hadn't had a chance to see their faces clearly, exclaimed in unison.
"Nini, is this your boyfriend?!"
"How is this possible?!"
Lin Yao tightened his right arm again, pressing the small hand that was holding that place against his right ribs. He could feel it clearly, so he quickly relaxed his tense muscles, but he felt very awkward and didn't know what to do.
This woman, is she crazy about men?
Looking at her from the side, he found that Vivienne was quite pretty, with a good figure and a decent face. However, Lin Yao really disliked her lips, so he had no interest in her at all, and was even unwilling to temporarily act as her boyfriend.
"Yeah, what do you guys think? Could we make that Viagra guy back down?"
Vivienne clearly didn't treat Lin Yao as an equal, not introducing him to her female companions at all, or even asking for his opinion. She treated him like a cat or dog, waiting for his response.
"Oh... I see." A girl with a pretty face and a slender figure, but dressed so scantily that Lin Yao was worried she would catch a cold, nodded, looked Lin Yao up and down, and then continued to comment, "Not bad, not bad, your figure and appearance are both very good, and your temperament is also quite good when you're not talking. It's just that you need to change your walking posture. You look like a big crab, it's really too embarrassing to be seen like that."
"Hahaha...that's right...I think so too." Another girl, who wasn't particularly good-looking but clearly wore a lot of makeup, laughed so hard she could hardly breathe. "He really is...a handsome guy."
Save your breath, or you'll choke!
Lin Yao thought to himself, "These two girls are so rude. They're making such a fuss about a man on our first meeting. They're really not reserved at all!"
It's not right for Vivienne to be like this. Didn't I always think she was quite good at dealing with people? She should be the kind of person who's very adept at social interaction. Why is she being so disrespectful to me today?
Lin Yao glanced at Fei Wenni beside him with a puzzled look, remaining silent. He really didn't know what to say at the moment. He had never experienced being treated like this by a woman before, nor had he ever seen it. He thought to himself that the office girls in his company were better, at least they wouldn't be so rude.
Fei Wenni chuckled and pulled Lin Yao's arm a little closer to hers. "Xiao Lin, this is Benben, and this is Qiqi. Benben also works in the same building as us, just in a different direction. Her company is in the west building; Qiqi is still a student at the Beijing Film Academy's acting school."
After a brief pause, Vivienne released her grip on Lin Yao's hand. "I was just joking, don't be angry."
Before Lin Yao could react, she continued, "Are you angry?"
Lin Yao gave a wry smile to himself, thinking to himself, "Could I really say I was angry? It seems that according to the general public's opinion, I was the one who benefited from what just happened."
"No, of course not. Or should I let you hold my arm? Or let you put your arm around my waist?" Lin Yao joked to dispel his embarrassment.
"He's really gone bad!" Lin Yao sighed inwardly, thinking that he had only been in Beijing for a month and a half and had already become corrupted by a group of female office workers, even able to say such joking things. He wondered if he should blush.
Lin Yao wanted to touch his cheek; he felt it was a little hot.
“Nini, you’ve made a really good choice. Just this look is enough to make your Viagra lose without a fight. Let him walk a few steps and see if his walking posture is up to par. If not, I’ll train him.” Qiqi placed her right hand on her chest in a delicate manner, her slightly extended index finger not pointing at Lin Yao, but pointing to her left front, like a woman from ancient times who was reserved and demure.
"No wonder she's so skinny, she's a trainee actress." Lin Yao thought to himself, feeling disgusted with the girl. Just that one sentence, telling someone to take a few steps, was incredibly rude. No wonder actors all think they're invincible, always acting all high and mighty in various reports.
Before liberation, they were all actors, and their social status was the lowest.
Lin Yao knew that people tend to look heavier on camera, and only those who are extremely thin appear slender in movies and television. Furthermore, the handsome men on the phone were often also very thin in real life; it was essentially a rule that the more sickly, the more beautiful. So, since it was a rare opportunity to greet this sickly woman, he didn't want to humiliate himself.
Vivienne clearly noticed Lin Yao's displeasure and quickly came back to take his arm. "Let's find a place to sit down, Lin. There's something I'd like to ask you for help with."
After a moment's thought, Lin Yao nodded in agreement, "Alright."
The teahouses on Wangfujing Pedestrian Street were decorated in an antique style. Lin Yao didn't pay attention to the shop signs, only thinking that it was a famous location in Beijing, and the layout inside was really tasteful. Although the tea was not very good, the atmosphere was nice.
"Xiao Lin, it's like this..." Fei Wenni explained in detail, letting Lin Yao know the reason behind their previous teasing.
It turns out that Vivienne's brother wanted to introduce her to a boyfriend, but she didn't want to date him and didn't want to go against her father and brother's wishes. So she asked Lin Yao to pretend to be her boyfriend and come to her house on the weekend to meet him, pretending to run into the man called "Viagra" who was there for the blind date.
The blind date scheduled for the weekend was something Fei Wenni secretly found out. Originally, it was supposed to be a family dinner, requiring her to go home that weekend. However, it turned out to be a blind date arranged for a man to come to her house. So, she decided to play along and bring a boyfriend named Xibei home to ruin the blind date.
Lin Yao pondered for a long time. Seeing Fei Wenni's pitiful appearance, he thought to himself that since he had never experienced pretending to be someone's boyfriend before, it wouldn't be a problem to go. So he nodded and agreed to this arduous task.
Next, the three excited girls brainstormed and discussed how to deal with the possible problems. They also asked Fei Wenni and Lin Yao to inform each other of some personal habits to avoid giving themselves away.
So, Vivienne finally learned Lin Yao's full name, which was a huge blow to Lin Yao. It turned out that no one knew his name.
Lin Yao had a deep impression of Fei Wenni, as he often saw her when he went down to the fourth-floor cafeteria for lunch every day. She was a planner at "Aurora Media" on the eighteenth floor. She had just graduated last year and started working there. He had heard that she was quite capable and had planned a large advertisement that received a very good response from the client, making a lot of money for the company and allowing this girl, who had just entered the advertising and media industry, to make a name for herself.
Lin Yao, who was already outgoing, and Fei Wenni, who was also a very sociable girl, got to know each other in the cafeteria. They would occasionally sit at the same table during meals or chat in the cafeteria after meals. This was a common way for some bored white-collar workers to avoid working overtime at noon.
