Chapter 375: Chapter 374: The Secret Place

"Just be yourself?" The boys were stunned for a moment, but the more they thought about it, the more it made sense.

Lin Tian also shook his head with a smile, returned to his seat, and let them ponder on their own.

That last statement was true, people only live for about a hundred years, one third of which is spent sleeping. With only a few decades left, if you still live according to others’ wishes, then it’s like you never truly lived at all.

Shortly after sitting down, Lin Tian saw Xiao Manxuan and Zhang Lingyu holding hands as they returned, chatting and laughing, which made him exclaim in admiration. Women are as unfathomable as the sea—a mood that changes faster than the weather.

"Xiao Manxuan, what were you talking about just now? Were you speaking ill of me?" Lin Tian wondered, because otherwise it wouldn’t explain why even a zombie would sneeze.

Xiao Manxuan hadn’t responded yet when Zhang Lingyu quickly said, "You’re just a bad guy, do we even need to talk behind your back?"

"Humph, not only am I a bad guy, but I’m a rascal too. Say whatever you want, I am a rascal, who am I afraid of!" Lin Tian quoted a classic line from the Counter-Strike game, humming it out.

"Go on, act like a rascal for me to see." Zhang Lingyu challenged, straightening her upper body and puffing out indignantly.

The little girl’s figure was already of SSS tier, and now that she thrust it out, Lin Tian noticed it seemed to have developed quite a bit more. If going by the bra size she bought last time, the little girl likely couldn’t fit in it anymore.

Lin Tian measured with his eyes, but lacking experience, he really didn’t know how much the original 34D size had increased.

"Pervert, you lecher!" Zhang Lingyu cursed Lin Tian as she noticed his eyes sizing her up, her voice lowered to avoid others hearing and making things more embarrassing.

"That’s right, you just said for me to act like a rascal, so I am fulfilling your wish now," Lin Tian shamelessly responded.

"The teacher is coming," Xiao Manxuan suddenly pointed out.

Zhang Lingyu had no choice but to glare fiercely at Lin Tian.

The lesson continued and Lin Tian, with his cheerfulness, carried on his study journey. Mingling quips with the school beauty to spice up the dreary life of a senior, he found life utterly delightful.

The only side effect was the occasional glare from Zhang Lingyu, which Lin Tian automatically ignored, pretending it was the gaze of a lover.

In the afternoon, Zhang Lingyu still didn’t look at him fondly, but Lin Tian didn’t expect her to be as gentle and soft as a little woman, especially since she dared to fight with vampires.

However, the good news was that he heard the first round of the bonus distribution plan had already been launched, with Miss’s charity foundation being quite efficient.

It was said to let the seniors enjoy this new benefit before graduation, also a boost for their upcoming university life.

Just as school was about to be dismissed, Lin Tian received a text message from an unknown number. Although it was a strange number, the signature at the end was from a familiar person, as the name was Xu Ying, indeed Xiao Manxue’s competent assistant, Secretary Xu.

The content of the message was to drive directly to Xiao Building after school, as discussed by Xiao Manxue the previous night, that she wanted to take him somewhere. However, Lin Tian still muttered to himself about Miss being so busy that even Secretary Xu had to send a text message to notify.

"Lin Tian, sister said to go directly to the building after school," Xiao Manxuan said, showing her phone, it seemed the little girl had also received the message.

"I know, I’ve been there before. Nothing seemed too special last time," Lin Tian said. Last time he pretended to be Miss’s boyfriend and went to Xiao Building; apart from it being bigger and taller, he didn’t notice anything different.

"I don’t know, I’ve never finished exploring the entire building even after growing up so much," Xiao Manxuan blinked her eyes, saying embarrassedly.

"No way, do you really have the surname Xiao? It’s unbelievable that you haven’t fully explored your own headquarter building," Lin Tian looked at her in surprise, exclaiming.

Lin Tian wondered if this little girl had been picked up by Mrs. Xiao, since she hadn’t even fully explored the Xiao Group headquarters.

"You think you can just wander around the building? There are some areas I can’t even enter without being accompanied by my sister or mother," Xiao Manxuan explained.

"I see, you mentioned last time that you didn’t have access to your own basement, so it’s not surprising there are places in the headquarters you can’t go either," Lin Tian recalled the basement in the Xiao Mansion, saying it stored priceless jadeite raw stones, probably some places in the building held even more valuable things.

"Xuanxuan, I’m going back first, you guys go ahead if you have things to do," Zhang Lingyu said as she packed up her things.

"Yeah, sure, be careful of perverts on the way," Xiao Manxuan smiled and teased.

Speaking of perverts, perverts should pray not to encounter her; otherwise, they wouldn’t even know how they got disabled, Lin Tian dismissed the thought nonchalantly, considering Zhang Lingyu’s skills, it would be difficult even to get close to her.

"Since everyone has left, let’s go too, lest Miss says I’m late again," Lin Tian picked up his backpack, said to Xiao Manxuan, and was the first to leave the classroom.

Xiao Manxuan followed and laughed, "Given how meticulous my sister is at work, that’s very likely, and you often make her angry too."

"Ah, being a little bodyguard is really not easy, busy from morning to night, such a toilsome life," Lin Tian sighed on purpose, but still quickly drove towards the Xiao Building, not because he feared the Miss would be angry, but because he wanted to know where exactly she was planning to take him.

It was the peak of rush hour, and by the time they arrived at the headquarters, forty minutes had passed, and Secretary Xu had been waiting for a while.

"Secretary Xu, long time no see, you’ve become even more beautiful than before," Lin Tian greeted as soon as he saw her.

Though Secretary Xu’s appearance couldn’t compare to the Xiao sisters, her professional skirt-suit attire accentuated her shapely figure, always providing a certain allure of a uniform to men.

Unfortunately, Secretary Xu didn’t fall for Lin Tian’s charm but simply nodded properly as a response, then said to Xiao Manxuan, "Second Miss, come with me, the Miss is still in a meeting."

"Okay," Xiao Manxuan answered and then followed Secretary Xu to the elevator.

Upon returning to Xiao Manxue’s office, Lin Tian still saw the same photos on the wall, almost no extraneous decorations apart from the necessary office paraphernalia.

Nowadays, many company leaders’ offices are decorated with items meant to stabilize feng shui and attract wealth, but Lin Tian didn’t see any of these things in the Miss’s office.

"Second Miss, please wait a moment, President Xiao will be here shortly," Secretary Xu said politely.

As soon as her words ended, Xiao Manxue walked in from outside, holding a folder and two badges.

"Miss, where’s the place we are going to?" Lin Tian took a few looks at her business attire, still dressed like a female CEO, before asking.

"Lin Tian, put on this work badge first, or else if the security personnel kick you out later, don’t say I didn’t warn you," Xiao Manxue handed out the work badge, saying straightforwardly.
