Lin Jianlu said his home was a bit far away and he had to call his driver, so the two of them resumed walking around the commercial street again.
It was past eleven o’clock when they finished their meal. At this time, most of the shops in the commercial street were closed. There was no scene of prosperity and bustle like seen during the day. Instead, it looked a bit desolate under the light of the street lights.
Fortunately, there were not many people on the main road, and the two of them walked along the street as a way to digest their food.
Before they had finished walking even one street, the driver that Lin Jianlu had called over had arrived, found them directly, and parked the car in front of them.
Yan Han still had some impression of this man. When they went to the mountains to visit the martyr’s graves and had an emergency, it was this man who came to pick them up. He seemed to be Lin Jianlu’s full-time driver.
The car drove all the way to the suburbs, getting farther and farther away from the city center. At first, Yan Han wondered where Big Brother Lin’s home was and why it was so far away.
But when he really got there, he understood.
After all, when the car drove into the yard, passed through the carefully tended gardens on both sides, and drove for another seven or eight minutes before arriving at the front door of the residence, Lin Jianlu’s house looked like a castle from the outside.
After taking the indoor elevator from the parking lot to the first-floor lobby, Yan Han couldn’t help but sigh, this is a fu**ing castle!
In the daydreams that the elder brother had once had, the most daring idea was to buy himself a villa one day.
Now that he was suddenly going to live in a castle, the elder brother felt a little… not particularly special.
After all, he was just staying for one night, it wasn’t his.
And since it was too late, Lin Jianlu didn’t show him around here. Instead, he took him upstairs and arranged a clean guest room for him.
“Rest here tonight. This room has its own bathroom, and I think some basic toiletries are provided… although it’s unlikely you’ll need them. If you need anything, come find me on the third floor. My room is the one on the right, on the far right of the stairs.”
“Oh… OK.” Yan Han nodded blankly, still surveying the presidential suite-like guest room. He couldn’t help but ask, “Um… do you live alone in such a large place?”
“Currently. My brother comes home occasionally on his days off.”
“Your brother?”
“Yeah, he’s in business, so he doesn’t come home very often.”
“Oh…”
Yan Han blinked. He actually wanted to ask about Lin Jianlu’s parents and other relatives. In class, he often heard Wen Juerong and the others discuss what this family did and what that parent did. After all, they were all in a closed group, and it would be a shame not to chat about family matters when they had nothing better to do. They even knew about the little things going on in Yan Han’s family.
But Lin Jianlu never seemed to be discussed, nor did he ever participate in any of them.
Everyone only knew that Big Brother Lin was rich and well-connected, a true patron of distinguished descent.
Lin Jianlu didn’t say anything else, and no one dared to ask.
But there had to be a reason for his silence. Yan Han, while a gossiper, wasn’t the kind of person who couldn’t see things clearly.
He acknowledged it, solemnly turned, and thanked Big Brother Lin again, saying, “Good night, Big Brother Lin. See you tomorrow!”
“Yes, good night,” Lin Jianlu said, beginning to leave his room. But before the door closed, something struck him, and he asked, “What would you like to eat tomorrow morning?”
“…Whatever, anything.”
The elder brother was never picky about his food; he usually ate whatever Lin Jianlu brought him for breakfast. But even if he wasn’t picky, he still had to consider Big Brother Lin’s preferences and nutritional needs every time it was his turn to buy breakfast. Yan Han understood the worry.
“No need to prepare anything special,” Yan Han added.
“Okay.”
Lin Jianlu nodded silently, understanding. His eyes, gleaming like lacquer, shone with a faint smile as he gazed at him. “Good night, then. See you tomorrow.”
With that, he closed the door behind him.
With the elder brother now alone, Yan Han once again surveyed the room.
The overall interior followed the style of an intricate, luxurious, European standard. From the carpets and walls to the paintings and furnishings, everything about it exuded a single sense: expensive.
The room measured over fifty square meters. Facing the door was a small living room, furnished with a sofa, coffee table, and television. Inside was the bedroom, with a European-style, retro double bed in the center, a wardrobe, and a full-length mirror.
Further inside was the bathroom. Toiletries were laid out on the sink, along with bath towels and hand towels. None of them were disposable; they looked like they belonged to the owner of the house. Even the toiletries were still in their packaging; they were brand new…
So, were all the guest rooms in wealthy homes like this?
After a quick walk, Yan Han walked to the window, pulled aside the cumbersome curtains, and peered out… Wow, outside was a vast garden, lit by nightlights. Even at night, it looked like a vast expanse of red and green, vibrant and colorful…
Pulling the curtains shut, Yan Han went expressionlessly into his dressing room to wash up.
He couldn’t look any further, or he’d become resentful of the rich.
Although he’d been mentally prepared, he still had to admit—sorry, poverty limited his imagination.
Thankfully, Big Brother Lin was a low-key person. If he were the type to flaunt his wealth, he’d be making everyone around him envious!
After showering in the mobile dressing room, he noticed that the bathroom in Lin Jianlu’s guest room had a jacuzzi. Big Brother Lin decided to do the monthly skincare routine required of him as part of his beauty plan while applying a facial mask.
Last month, similar to the butt mask, he’d done a full-body skincare session before the monthly payout. However, due to his lack of technique and hardware, the system, after careful consideration, only awarded him 25 points for the “beauty” component.
The hardware referred to the things needed for his full-body treatment. According to the system, this involved using system-provided products, followed by a specialized technician rubbing various essential oils into his body.
Upon hearing these requirements, Yan Han was furious. Where could a cross-dresser like him, who couldn’t reveal his identity, find a technician? Taking off his clothes would be terrifying. Bribing them with a large sum of money wasn’t a viable option. So what if they let the secret slip?
Yan Han wouldn’t do something like that, where would he expose his identity due to a ridiculous mission? He’d told Xiao Wu right away that if he was exposed, it wouldn’t be his fault, or he’d have to find another mission, or even just kill him.
The older brother was always confident when he was right, so seeing his resolution, the system had to reconsider the task, ultimately changing it to a milk bath and self-massage.
However, this process, like applying a facial mask, wasn’t allowed in the dressing room to prevent users from exploiting a timer bug, and their dorm didn’t have a bathtub…
Where could Yan Han find a bathtub? That time, Yan Han had to keep pouring milk on himself, supposedly wasting a lot of it, which was why his score last month wasn’t so perfect.
This month, he was still trying to find a bathtub, but coincidentally he ended up at Lin Jianlu’s house… so why should he be so polite?
Even the smallest fly is still meat, so every extra point counts.
Besides, he’d already gained 25 points last month, and with the bonus from the cross-dressing task, his “beauty” score had already surpassed 60.
If he performed well this month and scored another 20 or 30 points on the beauty project, he could open another box next month!
Not only was his life getting better day by day, but his goals were becoming clearer too. Elder Brother was thus even more motivated to apply face masks and do skincare.
Today, he was also applying an eye mask to remove dark circles. He had been sleeping so little lately, so the beauty project had given him some extra eye mask applications this month. And it was actually quite effective, otherwise he’d be a giant panda.
He applied the eye mask while soaking in a milk bath in the jacuzzi. Then, following the system’s instructions, he massaged essential oils all over his body. Finally, he rinsed his skin and applied a layer of moisturizing lotion all over his body… and that was it.
To earn extra points, he didn’t dare to slack off during this full-body treatment, especially when applying the essential oils. He gave it his all. Not only did he work up a sweat, but his skin and fingers were practically peeling!
After two hours of tossing and turning, completely digesting the skewers he’d just eaten, Yan Han pulled on a bathrobe to ensure an early start the next day. He didn’t even have time to think about how soft the bed and pillows were at Big Brother Lin’s house before he fell asleep.
He’d been incredibly tired recently, and this particular sleep was incredibly deep. Luckily, the bedroom curtains weren’t drawn tightly, and he was awakened by a ray of sunlight hitting his face. Still half asleep, Yan Han heard a few knocks on the door.
“…I’m coming!”
Yan Han jumped out of bed, scratched his messy short hair, and flung the door open.
Standing outside was a woman in an apron, looking like a nanny in her forties or fifties. She was startled to see Yan Han open the door, and hurriedly bowed to him, saying, “Excuse me, sir, for disturbing your sleep. May I ask…”
“Oh! Sister Tian! The guest room that the young master specifically ordered this morning has a guest!”
Another nanny-like figure rushed over with a loud voice. She quickly pulled the previous person away and said to Yan Han, “Sir, I’m sorry, Sister Tian took leave and went home yesterday and just returned now. She didn’t know you…”
Sister Tian also apologized, “I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry. I came to clean the room and was wondering why the door was locked. Look at my brain…”
It turned out to be a misunderstanding. So Yan Han, with his messy hair, said, “It’s okay, don’t mind it.”
After closing the door and walking barefoot back to the bedroom, passing the dressing mirror, the eldest brother suddenly realized – wait, what did they just call me?!
He suddenly turned and glanced at himself in the dressing mirror… Well, he was wearing a white bathrobe. Bathrobes were unisex, and the color was also quite standard. Even after a night of sleep, the straps were tied tightly. Plus, he had subconsciously gathered the lapels around his chest when he opened the door, so the shape was almost perfect, with no exposed flesh except for his neck.
But precisely because of this… Yan Han looked down and took a look at his flat chest…
Flat, flat, and because he was so thin, he had no breasts at all!
He wondered if Lin Jianlu’s nanny discovered his true gender, would that mean his mission had failed?!
Outside the villa, on the endless lawn, Lin Jianlu was jogging at a slow speed, walking his dog early in the morning, when his phone suddenly rang.
He glanced at the incoming call on his fitness tracker and plucked the Bluetooth earbuds from their ear. “Why are you awake so early?”
“Ahhh, Brother Big Brother Lin!” the man’s unique voice boomed from the other end of the line, full of energy: “Help! Help!—”
