Chapter 462: Chapter 223: Crisis 3

Now, all he had to do was wait for his account to hit 80,000 followers for the mission to complete automatically.

Lin Shen pulled out his phone and checked Xiaohongshu. He was only a few hundred followers short.

So, he decided to add some fuel to the fire. He posted the photos of his luxury cars that he’d been too embarrassed to show off on his social media feed to Xiaohongshu, with a caption:

[Which car do you think is my favorite?]

It wasn’t long before comments started flooding in, all with that familiar tone.

[I bet you like that Ferrari SF90, handsome! It looks so cool! If I could just take a ride, I’d be willing to eat my meals on my knees!]

[Handsome, can I sit in your passenger seat? (shy) You can pick the stockings, I don’t mind if they get dirty or torn~]

[I think the Maybach is better, don’t you? The back seat is so spacious, you can pull over anytime, anywhere, and... do things. (heart emoji)]

[It must be the Jaguar XFL in the middle, right? Even though it’s a bit cheap compared to the Maybach and Ferrari, I believe it’s the car that’s been with you the longest—the one that played the biggest part in your success.]

’Finally, someone who gets it!’

Lin Shen smiled, pleased, and liked the last comment.

Soon, thanks to the traffic boost from the Big Blue Book, his follower count surpassed eighty thousand, and the mission was complete.

[Big Blue Book:]

’Travel?’

’This lines up perfectly with the GoGo Maps mission to visit Sanya!’

’Looks like it’s time to put that on the agenda.’

’But 160,000 followers... That’ll probably take a long time to achieve.’

"Junior, dinner’s ready."

"Coming."

At Jiang Wan’s call, Lin Shen put his phone away and went to the dining room. Several dishes were already on the table.

A savory black-bone chicken soup, scrambled eggs with tomato, and eggplant with minced garlic.

They were all simple, home-cooked dishes, but the aroma was so rich it made Lin Shen’s mouth water. He took a deep sniff and sighed in admiration.

"It smells amazing! You’re a great cook, Senior."

"Then have your fill."

Jiang Wan smiled and served Lin Shen a bowl of rice. She sat opposite him, watching him devour his food, and rested her cheeks in her hands, a deep sense of satisfaction blooming in her heart.

’I wish this happy life could last forever...’

"Senior, do you want to go to the archery range this afternoon?"

’Archery?’

Lin Shen’s sudden suggestion made Jiang Wan pause. She chewed on a mouthful of rice and asked curiously.

"Why the sudden interest in archery?"

"Just for fun."

Lin Shen chuckled.

"It’s still raining, but staying home all day is getting boring. I thought we could go out, maybe scout some locations for a photoshoot. What do you think?"

"Sure."

Jiang Wan smiled, her pretty eyes curving into crescent moons.

"Does this count as you asking me out on a date?"

"Of course it does."

Lin Shen took a few sips of the black-bone chicken soup.

"You’ve been working so hard lately, Senior. I want to help you relax this weekend."

"Well, thank you, Junior."

Jiang Wan put more food on Lin Shen’s plate, playing the part of the perfect, doting wife.

She might not be able to help Lin Shen much with his career, but in their daily life, she could fully embrace her role as the gentle, caring "older sister."

After lunch, the two headed to the Modu Shooting and Archery Sports Center.

Lin Shen had done his research in advance. Plus, with the effect of his "Multi-Millionaire" title, he was treated like a VIP wherever he went.

As a result, the moment he and Jiang Wan walked into the Modu Shooting and Archery Sports Center, they were greeted enthusiastically by a coach.

"President Lin! Welcome! I’m Coach Sun Changzheng. You can just call me Sun."

"Hello, Coach Sun."

Lin Shen smiled and shook Sun Changzheng’s hand, then got straight to the point, asking about the rates.

The top rate at the facility was 180 yuan per person per hour, which included coaching.

The fee was higher than a typical archery hall, but that was because this was the only competitive archery range in all of Modu.

Of course, the price was irrelevant to Lin Shen. He was even planning to rent out the entire venue.

However, Sun Changzheng looked apologetic.

"My apologies, President Lin, but there’s already someone on the range. Don’t worry, though. It looks like this member is just here for a photoshoot."

’A photoshoot?’

’Isn’t that the same reason I’m here?’

Lin Shen was curious about who it could be. After paying, he and Jiang Wan followed Sun Changzheng to the traditional indoor archery range.

Inside the vast range, a lone girl was practicing archery. She held a traditional wooden bow, her form professional as she drew back the string and nocked an arrow.

A crew consisting of a photographer, a lighting technician, and a stylist followed her, looking like they were in the middle of a shoot.

The girl was wearing a classic Japanese kyudo uniform.

Her top was pure white, paired with a dark chest protector. Below, she wore black, wide-legged trousers, and her delicate feet were clad in white tabi socks.

She wasn’t tall, but her hair, tied in a high ponytail, gave her a sharp, fierce aura that contrasted sharply with her cute, doll-like face.

Lin Shen recognized her at a glance.

’Su Youji?’

’It’s her?’

Lin Shen looked slightly stunned.

The only reason he recognized Su Youji so quickly was her signature feature: a baby face and a massive bust.

Even though the top of her kyudo uniform was exceptionally loose, it still stretched to form a high, full curve over her chest.

’A figure like that is hard to miss.’

While Lin Shen was staring intently at Su Youji, Jiang Wan also looked over, her own eyes wide with surprise.

’So the content creator Coach Sun mentioned, the one here for a photoshoot, is "Yuji"?’

Although Jiang Wan was mainly involved in the traditional Chinese aesthetics scene, she knew of Su Youji.

In fact, most creators on Douyin knew of her.

After all, with over four million followers, Su Youji was a pretty big name in the influencer world.

"Cut! That’s a wrap! Okay! Let’s take a break. We’ll shoot the next sequence after."

SWOOSH—!

As the photographer called out, Su Youji released her right hand. The arrow shot forward, striking the nine-ring.

"Yada!"

Su Youji pumped her fist in excitement, and a moment later, she heard applause from nearby.

CLAP CLAP CLAP—!

?

Su Youji glanced back curiously. When she saw Lin Shen, she froze for a second, blinked a couple of times, and then her face lit up with shock and delight.

"Eh? Mr. Lin? What are you doing here?"

"I brought my girlfriend here to have some fun."

Lin Shen smiled slightly.

"I didn’t expect to run into you here."

"I didn’t expect it either! It must be fate!"

?

’Mr. Lin?’

Seeing that Lin Shen actually knew Su Youji, Jiang Wan’s pretty eyes narrowed as a sense of crisis washed over her.

She shifted from holding his hand to clinging tightly to his right arm, then smiled at Su Youji.

"Hello, I’m Lin Shen’s girlfriend, Jiang Wan."

"I know you!"

Su Youji bounced forward, her face full of excitement, recognizing Jiang Wan immediately.

"You’re Shui Yanwei, right?"

"..."

The embarrassment of being called by her online handle so suddenly brought a blush to Jiang Wan’s cheeks. Still, she was more surprised that the other girl even knew who she was.

"You know me?"

"Of course!"

Su Youji said excitedly.

"Mr. Lin showed me that short film you made, and I watched it several more times when I got home! It was so touching, it made me cry... When are you filming the sequel? I can’t wait!"

"Actually, that’s what we’re here for—scouting locations for the sequel."

Faced with a fan eagerly asking for more content, Jiang Wan’s wariness subsided a little, but she was still curious.

"You know my boyfriend?"

"Mhm."

Su Youji nodded and explained how she had run into Lin Shen at the Shennan Pet Society, which greatly eased Jiang Wan’s concerns.

’So they’ve only met once.’

’She doesn’t seem like a threat.’

’However...’

Jiang Wan sized Su Youji up, her gaze finally locking onto the other girl’s chest. Her expression grew solemn.

Su Youji was pretty, but Jiang Wan was confident she had the edge when it came to facial beauty.

However, the other girl’s full, perky chest gave Jiang Wan a profound sense of crisis.

Previously, her own assets in that department had been her unique, unrivaled talent. No one else could compare.

With that advantage, her position by Lin Shen’s side was unshakable, no matter how many other women showed up.

But Su Youji’s appearance was a wake-up call.

This was the first rival she had ever met whose assets were on par with her own!

They were evenly matched, neck and neck.

Jiang Wan pursed her lips and deliberately jutted out her chest.

Witnessing such a magnificent scene, Lin Shen was filled with emotion.

’This is great!’
