A passing traveler through the heavens

Chapter 150 Visiting the Neighbors

Max sat quietly on the sofa without saying a word, staring blankly ahead, idly hugging a soft cushion.

Just then, Ji Lin walked to the sofa and sat down.

However, unlike usual, this time he deliberately chose a spot closer to Max.

When he noticed that Max did not show any aversion to his approach, he was secretly delighted and immediately prepared to launch a passionate offensive against Max.

To understand why Max was so angry with Ji Lin, we have to mention what happened after Ji Lin stayed overnight at Max's house last time.

After that night, the two were like kites with broken strings, with no further contact between them.

Max was deeply disgusted and disappointed by Ji Lin's irresponsible and unaccountable behavior, so when Ji Lin suddenly appeared this time, Max naturally couldn't give him a friendly look.

Ji Lin, sitting on the sofa, took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind.

Immediately afterwards, he quickly reached into the system space and took out a dazzling diamond necklace.

The necklace shimmered with dazzling light, each diamond sparkling like a star. Ji Lin gently placed the necklace around Max's neck.

After putting on the necklace, Ji Lin paused briefly, then said slowly in a voice filled with guilt and gentleness, "Max, I'm so sorry. It was definitely my fault for not contacting you during this time, but please believe me, I've been busy with work since that day." As he said this, Ji Lin lowered his head slightly, a look of remorse on his face.

After a brief pause, he looked up at Max with a determined gaze and continued, "But rest assured, everything is almost done now, and my work is finally over."

After saying this, Ji Lin looked at Max with anticipation, hoping to see even the slightest sign of forgiveness in her eyes.

“Max, I found this necklace by chance during a break at work! The moment I saw it, your image immediately came to mind.”

“I thought to myself, ‘Wow, this is practically tailor-made for Max!’ So, as soon as I got back, I rushed over to find you.” Ji Lin said to Max with a gentle and sincere expression.

Upon hearing these words, Max lowered his head slightly, his gaze falling on the exquisite necklace around his neck.

Originally, she was burning with rage, but now it was as if a cool breeze had gently blown it away. She felt the unique charm emanating from the necklace, and her resentment had unknowingly diminished by more than half.

In the following period, Ji Lin launched a fierce and affectionate offensive, constantly coaxing Max to be happy with sweet words, and every action was full of care and love.

Gradually, Max's originally hardened heart began to melt, and he finally succumbed to Ji Lin's powerful and affectionate advances.

Just then, Ji Lin seized the opportunity, suddenly leaned forward, and kissed Max's luscious lips without hesitation.

Faced with Ji Lin's enthusiastic gesture, Max not only did not resist at all, but responded to him with fiery passion. The two embraced tightly, enjoying the sweetness and warmth of the moment.

After a long silence, Ji Lin calmed his rapid breathing and whispered to Max, "Darling, I'm planning a big party in a few days..."

Max beamed with happiness and agreed without hesitation, "Okay, I'll definitely go!"

Just as Ji Lin was about to leave, he smiled mysteriously, then reached into the system space and pulled out a beautifully packaged bottle of vodka.

He handed the bottle of precious wine to Caroline, who was standing beside him, and said with a smile, "Beautiful Miss Caroline, it's a pleasure to meet you. Please accept this small gift as a token of my appreciation."

Just as Ji Lin and Max were kissing, Caroline quietly came out.

Caroline was pleasantly surprised to accept Ji Lin's gift, and quickly thanked him, saying that she would definitely be there on time for Ji Lin's party.

After Ji Lin turned and left, Caroline couldn't wait to open the bottle, and a rich and mellow aroma of wine immediately wafted out.

She and Max exchanged a smile, then picked up their glasses and, while sipping their wine, began to talk enthusiastically about all sorts of interesting stories and gossip about Ji Lin.

Ji Lin left Max's house and then began visiting the other neighbors door to door.

During this time, he couldn't help but sigh to himself, "This apartment building is truly full of hidden talents! There are so many young men and women, and each one of them is quite charming."

With a smile on his face and carrying bottles of fine wine, Ji Lin enthusiastically knocked on the doors of every household.

He politely introduced himself and sincerely invited everyone to his upcoming party.

Most of the neighbors accepted the drinks in a friendly manner and said they would consider attending the party. However, Ji Lin encountered a small incident during the process.

When he arrived at the apartment upstairs from Max's, the door opened immediately as soon as he knocked.

Standing at the door was none other than Sophie from "2 Broke Girls"! The moment she saw Ji Lin, her eyes lit up and she put on a lovestruck expression.

Before Ji Lin could speak, Su Fei teased him in a sweet and coquettish voice, making Ji Lin blush and feel extremely embarrassed.

He hurriedly explained his purpose, put the wine in his hand on the ground, and then turned and ran away, completely forgetting about the party in his panic.

Sophie, standing behind him, stared intently at Ji Lin's fleeing figure, her eyes like those of a hungry wolf eyeing its prey.

However, besides being teased by Sophie, Ji Lin also encountered many closed doors. Some neighbors may not like socializing, or they were busy with their own things at the time, so they did not open the door to respond to Ji Lin's invitation.

And so, after a series of twists and turns, only the last two households remained in the entire apartment building.

Ji Lin took a deep breath, composed himself, and gently knocked on one of the doors again. At that moment, a voice came from inside: "Hopefully, my pizza has arrived."

The door was slowly pushed open, and a woman appeared in front of Ji Lin.

Ji Lin smiled and said, "Hi, my name is Ji Lin, and I'm a new resident who recently moved into this apartment building." Before he could even respond, Ji Lin, who was standing at the door, had finished speaking.

Then a surprised voice came from the other end: "Oh, hi! My name is Rachel."

Rachel was initially delighted, thinking that her pizza had arrived, but when she saw that it was Ji Lin standing outside the door, she was slightly taken aback.

However, it was only for a moment. She quickly came to her senses and her face lit up with a warm smile again.

Immediately afterwards, Ji Lin explained to Rachel the purpose of his visit.

After hearing this, Rachel warmly invited Ji Lin into the room.

Ji Lin followed Rachel into the house. As soon as he stepped into the living room, his eyes were immediately drawn to the scene before him—a woman was lying haphazardly on the sofa, while another woman was comfortably stretching out her limbs on the floor.

Seeing this, Rachel quickly smiled and introduced them to Ji Lin: "This one lying on the sofa is Monica, and that one on the floor over there is Phoebe."

Ji Lin looked at the three beautiful young women in front of him with great interest, and thought to himself: No wonder they are the main characters in "Friends", they are very beautiful and charming at this moment.

Just then, Ji Lin introduced himself to everyone in a natural and generous manner.

After hearing Ji Lin's introduction, Rachel laughed happily, "Haha, since we've run into each other by chance, we're having a lively pajama party right now! Do you want to join in and have some fun?"

Faced with such a warm invitation, Ji Lin nodded without hesitation and replied, "Of course I'm willing!" As he spoke, he handed the two bottles of fine wine he was carrying to Rachel.

In the time that followed, Ji Lin also got to know Joey, Chandler, and Ross.

And so, the group sat down in the living room, enjoying the wine and chatting happily.

Laughter and cheerful voices drifted from this cozy little space, echoing throughout the apartment. Before Ji Lin left, everyone promised to attend the party on time.
