Ji Xinyan was wearing a pair of tight blue jeans today, along with a pair of brown high-heeled boots, which highlighted her leg and hip curves.
She was wearing a thin cardigan on her upper body, with delicate makeup on her face, and carrying a small bag. She could easily pass as a model for a fashion magazine.
“Rebirth in the Bo Lang Era”
She didn’t look like a freshman who had just graduated from high school.
Not only the boys, but even the girls were sizing up Ji Xinyan, apparently intending to imitate her style.
“It’s okay, it’s on the way anyway. Besides, classmates should help each other!”
Ji Xinyan thought that if Huang Tao had any sense, he would leave, but Huang Tao seemed determined to stay.
He was like a plaster.
So annoying!
“If you don’t leave, I’ll stick my tongue into Lin Baici’s mouth right in front of you!”
Ji Xinyan was annoyed to death, but she still had a polite smile on her face.
Everyone had picked up their things, and Lin Baici didn’t feel comfortable snatching them back. If Ji Xinyan misunderstood and thought he was afraid she would drop or damage the items, it wouldn’t be good.
“Thank you!”
Lin Baici picked up the remaining delivery box.
Mainly because this alien’s notebook was quite heavy.
“Baici, are you planning to perform at the welcome party on Friday night?”
Ji Xinyan asked.
“I don’t have any talent!”
Lin Baici wasn’t used to standing out in public, and he certainly couldn’t go up and recite a Buddhist scripture.
“Haha!”
Huang Tao laughed and interjected, “Even kindergarten kids can perform one or two talents now. At least the Lone Hero sings really well.”
“I know you can play the piano, much better than my Golden Retriever at home!”
Ji Xinyan nodded, with a serious expression of evaluation.
Huang Tao felt that something was off about this statement, but he didn’t know what was wrong. “Then let’s go to the Louvre Corner for Western food another day. They have a piano there, and you can play it freely. I can play it for you while we eat.”
Huang Tao was excited and planned to practice more these days, hoping to move Ji Xinyan with a song and successfully win her over.
Oh, should he book a hotel room in advance, just in case?
“No, I’ve recently developed an interest in the erhu!”
Ji Xinyan declined.
“The erhu?”
Huang Tao was stunned. “How could you like this kind of instrument? It doesn’t match you at all. At least it should be the saxophone, right?”
“…”
Lin Baici listened and felt embarrassed for Huang Tao.
This dog-like behavior was so pathetic.
Having low emotional intelligence wasn’t always a bad thing. At least Ji Xinyan couldn’t tell from her words and tone that she was teasing him.
When they arrived at the teaching building, Lin Baici stopped. “Thank you for your help, but I won’t go back to the dorm.”
“Why? Don’t you want your roommates to know that you’re a little rich?”
Ji Xinyan teased.
She quickly realized that if Lin Baici brought so many things back to the dorm, it might attract unnecessary criticism, considering their high value. Huang Tao, for example, didn’t know how to stop calling that Kimchi girl behind her back.
Thinking about the Korean girl’s looks, Huang Tao suddenly wanted a chance to be a dog too.
“How am I rich?”
Lin Baici sighed. He only had ten million in his bank account, which was too little. He couldn’t even buy a luxury house in the suburbs of Haijing.
“Let’s go, I’m going to the teaching building too!”
Ji Xinyan had no intention of leaving.
If she didn’t leave, Lin Baici couldn’t chase her away either, so they entered the teaching building together.
“Find a classroom with fewer people!”
Lin Baici didn’t want to go back to the dorm and open the delivery in front of his roommates. It would be too eye-catching to suddenly buy so many flagship phones.
It’s better to keep a low profile.
As for Ji Xinyan, there was no way to avoid her.
There were still hardworking students in college.
Lin Baici walked through the second floor and found a classroom with the fewest people.
Three students were studying, a couple, and one person wearing headphones and watching movies on a laptop.
Lin Baici randomly found a seat in the last row and put down his things.
“Opening a delivery is the happiest thing in life.”
Ji Xinyan sat down and showed no intention of leaving.
Huang Tao wished that Lin Baici’s delivery would contain something that couldn’t be seen by those under eighteen.
“Haha!”
Lin Baici forced a smile.
He used to be very poor and could only shop online a few times a year.
He opened the delivery boxes of the five phones first, neatly packed the boxes, and placed them on the floor.
Ji Xinyan and Huang Tao looked at the five phone boxes, somewhat surprised.
“Why did you buy so many phones?” Huang Tao blurted out, looking at the models written on the boxes, all of which were flagship phones. “Are you a tech blogger?”
Huang Tao suddenly felt pressured.
If Lin Baici was just handsome, Huang Tao wouldn’t worry too much because Ji Xinyan wasn’t a shallow appearance lover. But if Lin Baici was also a tech blogger, then his status would be a bit more attractive.
“No!”
Lin Baici opened the box of a Huawei phone.
It looked quite beautiful.
“Then why did you buy so many phones?”
Huang Tao was puzzled. It couldn’t be that he had too much money to burn, right?
“To use them!”
Lin Baici was also surprised. “What else would I do with them?”
“…”
Huang Tao felt that he couldn’t communicate with Lin Baici anymore.
“One phone per day?”
Ji Xinyan joked.
“No.”Lin Baici didn’t explain in detail, he turned on all the devices, checked them once, felt that there was no problem, put them aside, and then started to unpack the laptop box.
Ji Xinyan casually picked up the most expensive Apple phone among the five, testing Lin Baici.
Generally speaking, most people don’t want strangers to touch their new phones before they have played with them themselves. But Ji Xinyan found that Lin Baici didn’t care about this at all.
Ji Xinyan pouted and tried again. She pretended to accidentally drop the phone.
“Phone!”
Lin Baici hadn’t reacted yet, but Huang Tao, who had been watching Ji Xinyan, called out first. When he saw the phone fall on Ji Xinyan’s thigh, he breathed a sigh of relief.
If the new phone, which cost over ten thousand yuan, was dropped and broken, the owner would definitely ask for a new one.
“It didn’t break, it fell on Xinyan’s leg!”
Huang Tao quickly explained.
“Why are you shouting?”
Ji Xinyan was unhappy. She put the phone down and saw that Lin Baici only glanced at her before continuing to lower his head and work on the computer, completely ignoring whether the phone was damaged or not.
Indeed, Lin Baici didn’t care, and with his hearing, he could even hear the slightest collision sound.
Ji Xinyan leaned over to Lin Baici and looked at him checking the system. “Your computer has such high specifications. Is it for gaming?”
A pleasant fragrance wafted into Lin Baici’s nose.
Ji Xinyan took out her phone. “Let’s add each other as friends. We can play games together in the future!”
“Okay!”
Lin Baici and Ji Xinyan became friends. When he saw her nickname as ‘Your Conscience is Lying’, it was obviously filled with resentment.
Finally, it was the wireless earphones from the Iron Triangle.
Lin Baici unpacked it, connected it to his phone via Bluetooth, and tested the sound quality, which was great.
After unpacking the delivery, Lin Baici threw all the boxes into the trash can, put the phone in his pocket, and carried the laptop back to the dormitory.
“I’m not going back. I’m going out to buy coffee!”
Ji Xinyan said goodbye at the right time. It would be inappropriate for them to walk together.
“Okay!”
Lin Baici opened Meituan and bought two cups of coffee from the Starbucks near the school. Then he took a screenshot of the QR code and sent it to Ji Xinyan. “It’s on me!”
“Thank you!”
Ji Xinyan smiled sweetly. “I’ll drink yours as the first cup of coffee in autumn!”
“Goodbye!”
Lin Baici returned to the dormitory.
“I’m going to the restroom!”
Ji Xinyan said to Huang Tao and left as well.
Huang Tao was bored, so he went on JD.com and checked the total price of the things Lin Baici bought.
Damn!
Over seventy thousand yuan!
What a spendthrift!
“If you have the ability, spend the money you earn!”
Huang Tao sneered and started playing games. It had been half an hour, and Ji Xinyan hadn’t returned, so he sent her a WeChat message.
Huang Yaoshi: Are you okay?
On campus, under the sunlight, youth was at its prime.
Ji Xinyan took out her phone, glanced at the message, and replied casually.
Your Conscience is Lying: My stomach hurts, and I don’t know how long I’ll have to wait. You can go back first!
Huang Yaoshi: Do you want me to buy you medicine or a hot milk tea?
“Ah, so annoying!”
Ji Xinyan put her phone back in her bag, hummed a tune, and walked on the shadows cast by the phoenix trees, jumping and hopping.
Message?
Didn’t see it.
…
Qian Jiahui saw Lin Baici carrying a computer back to the dormitory and smiled. “Bought a computer? Let’s play League of Legends together.”
“Damn, Alienware?” Fang Mingyuan was also interested in electronic devices. “What are the specifications?”
As he spoke, he approached.
“I don’t know!”
Lin Baici didn’t want to say, otherwise, everyone would easily guess the price.
“How much did you buy it for? Wasn’t it a rip-off? Let me see!”
Fang Mingyuan was well-intentioned, worried that Lin Baici had been ripped off by the merchant. But when he saw the specifications, he was shocked. “Damn, did you rob a prince’s tomb?”
“What do you mean?”
Xu Daguan was curious.
“This laptop of yours costs at least 20,000 yuan!”
Fang Mingyuan rubbed his hands. “Let me try it first. Does the legendary Alienware live up to its reputation?”
Lin Baici made room for him.
Liu Yu glanced at it and felt disdainful.
Did you buy it with a loan?
When you can’t repay the loan, you start borrowing from small loan companies, and when you can’t repay them either, your life is ruined.
But Liu Yu quickly thought that the principal promised to give Lin Baici a scholarship, so he didn’t have to resort to borrowing from small loan companies. He suddenly felt unhappy.
“Over 20,000 yuan?”
Hu Wenwu stared at the laptop in astonishment. It cost that much? Then he started to worry about what would happen if Fang Mingyuan broke it.
But he found that Lin Baici didn’t care.
…
After finishing a computer class in the afternoon, Lin Baici planned to go back to the dormitory to edit chanting videos. The counselor called him.
“I want to treat you to a meal to thank you for lending me money that day!”
Gu Qingxiang’s voice was soft and weak, giving people an inexplicable desire to bully her.
“Okay!”
Building a good relationship with the counselor would make it easier to ask for leave in the future and not be questioned if he stayed out all night.
The two agreed to meet at the back door half an hour later.
“I have something to do. I’ll go alone tonight!”
Now in Lin Baici’s dormitory, Liu Yu and Xu Daguan were acting alone, while the other four were together. It wasn’t that Lin Baici and the others didn’t want to invite Liu Yu, but every time they asked him to have a meal or go to class together, he refused.
As for Xu Daguan, he focused on his live streaming career and didn’t have time to hang out with his roommates.
“I still wanted to play basketball with you.”
Fang Mingyuan felt depressed.
“Another day!”
Lin Baici packed up his things and left.
“Wenwu, Jiahui, do you want to play basketball? I heard that this morning, Feng Qin, oh, he is one of the main players of the school basketball team, hit the iron plate, lost face, and had a fight with his girlfriend. Maybe there will be a big show tonight, let’s go and take a look together?”
Fang Mingyuan wanted to turn his roommates into basketball fans.
…
Lin Baici arrived early, but found that Gu Qingxiang arrived even earlier.
She stood under a gingko tree on the east side of the school gate, carrying a backpack.
She was wearing a long skirt that covered her ankles, a long-sleeved shirt, nothing special.
Lin Baici couldn’t help but think of Ji Xinyan, the two of them were really extreme.
[It feels like raising it a bit and then eating it, the taste should be better!]
“Gu Qingxiang!”
Lin Baici shouted, for some reason, he didn’t want to call her Instructor Gu.
“Lin student!”
Gu Qingxiang didn’t pay attention to this title: “What do you want to eat tonight?”
“Anything!”
Lin Baici didn’t care.
“If you can eat sushi and sashimi, then how about Japanese food?”
Gu Qingxiang suggested, she walked to the side of the road, ready to hail a taxi.
“Don’t go far, let’s find a restaurant nearby!”
Lin Baici had never eaten Japanese food, but he heard that these restaurants were quite expensive, so he didn’t want Gu Qingxiang to spend money.
“Hot pot?”
This is something that can usually be eaten, there are no dietary restrictions.
“Okay!”
Lin Baici and Gu Qingxiang walked side by side on the road.
Although Gu Qingxiang was an instructor, she had just graduated and hadn’t worked for long. She looked similar to a college student. Lin Baici was tall and had experienced two God’s Ruins, seen life and death, and looked somewhat mature.
The two of them walking together looked like a couple.
Yangxie Mansion was a Sichuan-style hot pot restaurant, very popular at Haijing University of Technology. When Lin Baici and Gu Qingxiang arrived, they had to wait for a table.
“Is it too much trouble?” Lin Baici frowned. “Let’s go, let’s eat barbecue by the roadside!”
“I’ll book a private room next time!”
Gu Qingxiang felt sorry and thought she had neglected Lin Baici.
“I’ll treat you next time.”
Lin Baici took the opportunity to arrange the next meal.
Although it was early autumn, the barbecue stalls on both sides of the street were still bustling. Lin Baici chose the same one he had eaten at last time, Yang Er Barbecue.
Gu Qingxiang handed the menu to Lin Baici.
Lin Baici didn’t hesitate, took it, and asked Gu Qingxiang if there were any dietary restrictions. He randomly ordered a variety of dishes.
“Bring two bottles of soda!”
Lin Baici calculated in his mind, it shouldn’t exceed 150 yuan, which should be within Gu Qingxiang’s budget.
“Is this enough with so little?”
Gu Qingxiang felt that Lin Baici, being so big, should be able to eat a lot.
“It’s enough!”
Lin Baici stretched out his legs. The stools of this table were too low, and his legs were uncomfortable when sitting.
“You can drink alcohol!”
Gu Qingxiang thought that Lin Baici ordered soda for her: “I can drink with you too.”
“Soda is fine.”
Lin Baici smiled, thinking of the effect of the Wine Pool and Meat Forest, eating meat and drinking alcohol is also a form of exercise, very enjoyable.
There were many customers and the food was slow to arrive, but Lin Baici didn’t feel bored because Gu Qingxiang knew a lot, especially about Chinese culture and history.
Unconsciously, Lin Baici asked about the royal tombs in the Qinling Mountains.
Gu Qingxiang answered without hesitation.
Under the moonlight, at the moment of parting, one can meet but not seek.
Lin Baici didn’t expect that the first time he had a meal alone with a girl after entering university, it turned out to be with an instructor.
“In ancient times, tombs could not be exceeded, so the size of the tomb and the accompanying burial objects could basically determine the identity of the tomb owner. Generally speaking, the larger the tomb, the more burial chambers, the more noble the tomb owner’s identity.”
Gu Qingxiang opened her delicate mouth and took a bite of a skewer, chewing quietly, with a scholarly air.
Woof! Woof!
Suddenly, a dog barking made Gu Qingxiang immediately look over.
It was a slightly dirty Border Collie, about ten meters away, barking at a table of diners.
“It’s not a mad dog!”
Gu Qingxiang breathed a sigh of relief. There have been quite a few mad dogs near the school recently, and several students have been injured.
The Border Collie didn’t get any food and almost got hit by a beer bottle.
[Eat dog meat and roll three times, even gods can’t stand steady. Want a bite?]
Lin Baici whistled twice, attracting the Border Collie’s attention, and threw a skewer over.
The Border Collie looked at Lin Baici and then trotted over, bowing its head to eat the skewer on the ground.
Ding Dong!
A message came on WeChat.
Lin Baici opened it, it was from Jin Yingzhen, with a picture of her wearing a blue workout outfit.
Princess of Christ Mountain: Oppa, isn’t my gym nice? Come to Seoul when you have time and exercise with me?
Lin Baici wanted to ask, is your exercise serious?
What a beautiful jasmine flower!
The phone rang, Lin Baici took it out and saw that it was a call from a Korean girl.
“I’ll answer a call.”
Lin Baici got up and walked to the side of the road.
“Oppa, you said a few days ago that your phone was broken. It didn’t happen to be trapped in a God’s Ruin, did it?”
Jin Yingzhen was worried: “Are you injured?”
“No!”
Lin Baici treated Gao Li Mei as a friend, so he didn’t hide anything.
“You’re so lucky…”
Jin Yingzhen was speechless, Lin Baici was really unlucky. And his answer also meant that he had confirmed that he was in the Palm Port God’s Ruin.
“Oppa, may I ask, can you tell me the process of raiding the God’s Ruin?”Jin Yingzhen explained, “My brother wants it, don’t worry, the reward will be twice the market price.”
For Jin Xian, money was not the issue, getting the first-hand detailed information as soon as possible was what mattered.
“Forget about the money.”
Lin Baici laughed, “Tomorrow night, I’ll write a document and sort it out for you!”
“No, no, you must take the money!”
Jin Yingzhen knew that Lin Baici was refusing the money out of respect for her.
She didn’t want to waste her favor on such a trivial matter.
Ah!
How great would it be if Oppa was Korean?
They chatted briefly before ending the call.
Lin Baici returned to his table, the Border Collie had already left.
After eating for a while longer, Lin Baici decided to call it a night, “Let’s go, it’s getting late!”
“Okay!”
Gu Qingxiang paid the bill.
The owner glanced at Lin Baici, he remembered this young man because the last time he ate here, a pretty girl paid for him.
Unexpectedly, after more than half a month, he came to eat again, and once again, a girl paid for him.
It seemed that he was a gigolo.
However, this time he was considerate and didn’t take advantage of this seemingly naive girl.
Bang! Bang!
Two bottles smashed on the ground, making a loud noise and attracting many people’s attention.
It was a barbecue stall across the street.
Two groups of students were having a conflict.
“They’re drunk.”
The owner had seen this kind of thing many times.
“You go first!”
After Gu Qingxiang finished speaking, she ran towards the conflict. As a counselor, she had to stop this kind of thing.
“Kid, quickly stop your girlfriend. Those people are drunk and they don’t know their own strength. If she gets hurt, it’ll be too late!”
The owner hurriedly urged Lin Baici.
He had been in this business for over ten years and had seen too many fights. Drunk people were impossible to reason with.
Before the owner could finish, Lin Baici had already chased after her.
Because the pushing and shoving had already started over there, and someone was even waving a plastic chair around.
“Stop fighting, stop!”
Gu Qingxiang tried to mediate, “I’m a counselor from Haijing Institute of Technology’s Software Engineering Department.”
The two conflicting groups, one with seven men and three women, the other with twelve men, those who were not drunk paused at Gu Qingxiang’s words. But among the group of twelve, three were clearly too drunk, their faces and necks as red as Guan Gong.
“Who the hell are you?”
A tall man cursed and threw the plastic chair in his hand at Gu Qingxiang.
Gu Qingxiang covered her head with her hands and was about to dodge to the side.
Bang!
A fist came and sent the chair flying.
Lin Baici’s eyes were cold as he stared at the tall man.
“Lin, don’t interfere!”
Gu Qingxiang was worried that Lin Baici would get hurt.
“I’ll handle it!”
Lin Baici signaled Gu Qingxiang to stay quiet, he looked at the people, “Go pay your bill, then get lost!”
“Who the hell are you?”
The tall man was unhappy, he picked up another stool and came over cursing.
His companions tried to hold him back, but how could they stop a man who was drunk and hot-headed.
The tall man walked up to Lin Baici and yelled at him, “Dare you say that again?”
Lin Baici didn’t bother to waste words, he swung a punch at the tall man’s stomach.
Bang!
The tall man howled, bent over, and vomited everything he had eaten that night.
“Fuck, get him!”
The other two drunk men, seeing their buddy get hit, rushed over.
“Don’t fight, I’m calling the police.”
Gu Qingxiang threatened.
Lin Baici stepped forward, throwing punches in succession.
Drunken Fist.
Bang! Bang!
Two men were hit in the chest, their eyes rolled back, and they fell straight to the ground, just like they had drunk strong liquor, they passed out instantly.
“Holy shit!”
The others were startled, sobering up quite a bit.
Mainly because Lin Baici’s punches were too fast and too fierce.
This one-hit knockout,
Was he a martial artist?
The tall man staggered back several steps, deciding to keep his distance from this fierce man.
“Baici!”
Gu Qingxiang changed her address, walked over, and grabbed Lin Baici’s arm, “Don’t interfere anymore, let’s go, I’ll handle this!”
Gu Qingxiang felt guilty, she didn’t mean to involve Lin Baici.
“I’ll say it one last time, go pay your bill, then get lost!”
Lin Baici stared at these people, “Go now!”
“It was them who started it!”
The group of seven men and three women wanted to explain.
“Shut up!”
Lin Baici didn’t have the patience to listen to who was right or wrong, he simply solved it brutally, “Go!”
This group of people saw that Lin Baici was not to be trifled with and left. The other group paid their bill but didn’t leave, after all, there were still two people lying on the ground.
“Did… did you kill them?”
The barbecue stall owner was completely numb. If someone died, he would have to pay compensation.
