I Helped My Best Friend with Her Romance—and Fell for the Enemy’s Strategist - Chapter 14

Lin Shuyi was deeply dissatisfied with this form of address.

Was she just a bit tanned?

The two of them were twins, even though they didn’t look alike.

Since childhood, whenever she told people they were twins, no one believed her.

Their appearances and interests were completely different.

Lin Ruocheng had always loved fluffy princess dresses, she was the epitome of a little princess.

With a sweet mouth, she was adored by everyone.

Lin Shuyi, on the other hand, preferred wielding spears and swords.

She was especially mischievous, and now she had gotten her wish.

She was admitted to the criminal investigation program at the police academy and was currently a sophomore.

“Sister-in-law, aren’t you going to rein in my sister?”

Fu Yanxi lowered her head and chuckled.

She hadn’t expected Lin Ruocheng’s twin sister to be so amusing.

How had she suddenly become the other’s sister-in-law?

Clearly, the two of them hadn’t even started dating yet.

She opened her mouth to say something but was interrupted by Lin Ruocheng before she could speak.

“Say one more nonsense word, and I’ll tear your mouth apart. Believe it?”

Lin Ruocheng’s expression was blank, and Lin Shuyi immediately backed down.

Even though they were twins, perhaps due to some innate hierarchy, even though Lin Shuyi ranked first in her criminal investigation program, she was still terrified of her older sister.

What kind of nonsense was she spouting?

Fu Yanxi was indeed good-looking, but at the moment, Lin Ruocheng wasn’t that into her.

Besides, the other girl was clearly straight, wasn’t she?

She wasn’t about to fall for a straight girl.

Moreover, this person was so cold.

She had no intention of falling for an iceberg.

Lin Shuyi immediately covered her mouth, not daring to say another word.

What if her mouth really got torn apart?

Even though Fu Yanxi had a cold demeanor, her aura was refined and noble.

It was obvious she came from an extremely wealthy family.

Her skin was pale and cool-toned.

Her eyes were always downcast, exuding an aloofness that kept everyone at a distance.

As a child from a queer family, Lin Shuyi instinctively stared at Fu Yanxi’s slender, fair hands with a hint of pink at the knuckles.

Since this person might become her sister-in-law, she had to consider her sister’s future happiness.

Fu Yanxi had no idea why the other was staring at her.

Feeling a bit awkward, she raised her hand and pressed her fingertip against the nose pads of her glasses, adjusting them slightly.

The other’s gaze was just a bit too intense.

It made her somewhat nervous.

Even without Lin Shuyi saying a word, Lin Ruocheng knew exactly what she was thinking.

“What do you want from me?”

“Sis, I wasn’t looking for you. I just happened to run into you. Sister-in-law, aren’t you going to treat me to a meal? Consider it a welcome dinner?”

Lin Shuyi didn’t even glance at her sister, instead turning starry-eyed toward Fu Yanxi.

Oh my god, was this the kind of woman who could keep her sister in check?

After twenty years of imagining, she had finally appeared!

Thank heavens! Finally, someone had come to tame her older sister!

She had been bullied by her sister since childhood, and even now, nothing had changed.

“What would you like to eat? We haven’t had dinner yet anyway…”

Fu Yanxi spoke up, neither confirming nor denying whether she was Lin Ruocheng’s partner. At the moment, finding a partner didn’t seem like such a bad idea.

Especially since Lin Shuyi was also a student at the neighboring school.

And a police academy student at that. It was just a meal, she could explain later.

“Sister-in-law is the best! Even better than my sister!”

Lin Shuyi was overjoyed.

Lin Ruocheng poked Fu Yanxi, who was standing beside her, and Fu Yanxi felt a ticklish sensation from the poke.

It was like a little kitten gently scratching her.

Whether it was her voice or her appearance, both were flawless. If one were someone who cared about looks, they would definitely be won over.

And Fu Yanxi was indeed someone who cared about looks.

Lin Ruocheng was very beautiful, so much so that not only did boys confess to her, but girls also gave her love letters.

“What’s wrong?”

Fu Yanxi leaned in slightly, her voice falling softly by her ear.

Her voice was low and cool, with a hint of sexiness to it.

Lin Ruocheng felt her legs go a little weak.

Fu Yanxi quickly reached out to steady her.

Lin Ruocheng wasn’t just a little obsessed with looks; more importantly, she was also a bit of a voice enthusiast.

Fu Yanxi’s cool, mature voice, with its slight huskiness, hit all the right notes for her.

“We’re not even dating, so why are you treating her to a meal? Wouldn’t that just confirm the rumors that we’re together?”

Lin Ruocheng didn’t think it was appropriate to invite her younger sister to a meal right now. If she treated her alone, it would be fine, but bringing Fu Yanxi along felt off.

The whole vibe would change.

“Hmm? Can’t we date?”

Fu Yanxi chuckled lightly, her index finger gently brushing the tip of Lin Ruocheng’s nose.

The gesture was full of affection.

But her words left Lin Ruocheng at a loss.

How should she respond?

Did Fu Yanxi mean she wanted to date her?

Was she into girls?

Or was she just teasing her?

Lin Ruocheng felt she was starting to overthink things, almost like Song Wanqing.

After a brief pause, she leaned close to Fu Yanxi’s ear.

“Does the president want to?”

Her tongue lightly brushed against Fu Yanxi’s earlobe, and instantly, Fu Yanxi’s ears turned bright red.

She really was no match for Lin Ruocheng.

“Let’s go quickly.”

Lin Shuyi had chosen a hot pot restaurant and walked inside.

Running into her older sister and the woman who might be her sister’s girlfriend today was purely a coincidence.

To be honest, her older sister had a captivating charm, the kind of mature, alluring beauty that suited bold red perfectly.

And Fu Yanxi was the icy, mature type.

Whether the two were a couple or not, just standing together, they were a feast for the eyes.

No matter what, they seemed like a good match.

She really hoped she could have someone like Fu Yanxi as a sister-in-law in the future.

“Order whatever you want.”

“Order what? Don’t you have training? It’s better to eat less.”

Lin Ruocheng intended to pay for the meal herself. If Fu Yanxi paid, it would feel somewhat inappropriate, especially since they weren’t even a couple.

Lin Shuyi snatched the menu.

“This is my treat from my sister’s girlfriend. Besides, I’m ordering beef, it won’t make me gain weight.”

“Lin Shuyi!”

“Alright, it’s just a meal. Let her eat.”

Fu Yanxi didn’t see anything wrong with it. Even if they weren’t a couple, they were still dance partners and student council members. Treating someone to a meal was normal.

Lin Shuyi didn’t hold back at all during the meal, ordering several plates of beef. Of course, none of them were concerned about the cost.

After they finished eating, it was Lin Shuyi who paid.

“Sister’s girlfriend, this meal is on me. Please take good care of my sister from now on.”

Lin Ruocheng had gone to the restroom, leaving only Lin Shuyi and Fu Yanxi at the entrance.

Fu Yanxi wanted to explain herself, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Lin Shuyi cut her off.

“Don’t rush to deny it just yet. I’ve studied criminal psychology, and I can tell you definitely like her. That look in your eyes simply can’t be hidden, it’s what they call ‘the onlooker sees most of the game.’ But don’t worry, I think you’re quite good-looking. My sister is both a sucker for good looks and a voice connoisseur, so you probably fit her ideal type pretty well. If you want to pursue her, how about adding me on WeChat? I can help you out, what do you say?”
