Chapter 153 – Lin Baici wants to fall in love


“If something happens again next time, I’ll be your maid for a month. I’ll do laundry, make beds, and cook. Whatever you want me to do!”

Xia Hongyao was determined.

“No, I have PTSD from maids now. Whenever I hear those two words, I want to slap someone.”

Lin Baici felt that he would never be interested in girls wearing maid outfits again.

It’s all because of that crazy maid!

“Why do I feel like you’re having fun?”

Xia Hongyao stared suspiciously at Lin Baici. “Do you know who kissed that maid in the end? I was so scared at that time, afraid that the maid would bite your tongue!”

With her hair tied up high, she was serious. She held a knife tightly, ready to attack the crazy maid and protect Lin Baici.

“…”

Lin Baici felt embarrassed and quickly changed the subject. “Can you cook?”

“Of course! I can make more than 30 signature dishes, enough for you to eat for a month without repetition!”

Xia Hongyao boasted proudly.

“Give me a chance to taste them!”

Lin Baici rubbed his stomach. He was gradually becoming interested in gourmet food.

“When you have time, give me a call. I’ll prepare the ingredients in advance!”

Xia Hongyao rolled up her sleeves, eager to show off her excellent cooking skills. “Let me tell you, don’t be fooled by my older sister’s reputation in the Security Bureau. She can’t cook at all. It’s all thanks to me that she didn’t starve to death!”

“Do you dare say that to your sister?”

Lin Baici burst into laughter.

“Uh!”

Xia Hongyao hesitated for a moment, then punched Lin Baici’s left rib. “Can’t we have a pleasant conversation? Is it illegal to brag a little?”

“Haha!”

Lin Baici suddenly reached out and flicked Xia Hongyao’s forehead.

“Hey, you hit my head again?”

Xia Hongyao pounced on him, hanging on Lin Baici’s back. Her legs crossed and clamped his waist, her right hand choking his neck, and her left hand holding his right wrist in a cross lock, trying to strangle Lin Baici.

“I told you, hitting the head will make you stupid. How can I rely on my intelligence to make a living in the future?”

Xia Hongyao often had her head flicked by Xia Hongmian when she was young, so she had an extreme reaction to this action. Mainly because she felt that if she hadn’t been hit for a few years, she would now be a great detective like Sherlock Holmes.

“You can rely on your physical strength to make a living!”

Lin Baici teased. “You have double A in strength and speed!”

Although Xia Hongyao had Lin Baici’s neck in a chokehold, Xia Hongyao didn’t use much force, so it didn’t hurt at all.

“Relying on physical strength is too low. I want to lead a team, rely on wisdom to purify the polluted rules, and become the Dragon Wing of the Nine Provinces.”

Since the age of seven, Xia Hongyao had been working hard for this goal.

Running, strength training, martial arts… She had never stopped for fifteen years. Even now, Xia Hongyao was still persevering, although she had reduced her training volume to watch detective dramas.

“You can do it!”

Lin Baici encouraged her.

When Xia Hongyao heard this, her body trembled. She felt a little uneasy but also a little hopeful as she asked, “Do you think I can do it too?”

Xia Hongyao had been greatly discouraged by her older sister, Xia Hongmian. If it weren’t for her strong will, she would have given up being a divine hunter.

After several missions with Lin Baici, Xia Hongyao admired, envied, and even had a hint of admiration for him. So when she heard Lin Baici’s words, she felt a little excited in her heart.

“Definitely!”

In terms of combat, Xia Hongyao was a genius. She didn’t need to use her brain and could win against many people purely based on instinct.

If she lived in primitive society, she would definitely be the top hunter.

And her physique was outstanding, not referring to her height, but her physical fitness. Just like being a football superstar, one prerequisite was physical endurance.

No matter how many tackles, collisions, or fouls she received, she wouldn’t be seriously injured. Even if she did get injured, she would recover quickly and maintain a very high attendance rate throughout the year.

Xia Hongyao had such a physique. Everyone had eaten a meteor coin, but the degree of physical enhancement for Xia Hongyao was definitely higher than that of most divine hunters.

Of course, the most important thing was that Xia Hongyao had a good personality, maybe too naive. She couldn’t understand others’ sarcasm or ridicule and always treated people with sincerity. That’s why she easily believed in people and had many friends.

If Lin Baici were to explore the God’s Ruins, he would definitely bring Xia Hongyao with him because he trusted her enough to expose his back to her.

“Hehe!”

Xia Hongyao laughed happily, unable to close her mouth, like a husky that had eaten its favorite dog food.

She jumped off Lin Baici’s back and patted his shoulder forcefully. “You have better judgment than my older sister!”

“To be honest, your older sister is really intimidating!”

Lin Baici had only met Xia Hongmian twice, but each time, he felt like she could see through him with just a few words.

“Of course, even the Dragon-level elders dare not breathe heavily in front of her!”

Xia Hongyao began to complain about her sister’s various misdeeds. “You don’t know how badly she bullied me when I was young!”

The two of them took a taxi and chatted as they arrived at the Dragon and Beauty Bar. After that, Xia Hongyao dropped off Lin Baici and sent him back to school.

At the school gate.

“I say, Xiaolin, why don’t you stop going to school? Isn’t it more exciting to explore the God’s Ruins with me every day?”

Xia Hongyao felt very happy when she was with Lin Baici.

“Where would we find so many God’s Ruins for you to explore?”

Lin Baici rolled his eyes.

As soon as the meteors carrying the God’s Ruins fell, the Security Bureau stationed in various branch offices would dispatch divine hunters to purify them.

If they couldn’t handle it, they would seek assistance from headquarters.So the existing God’s Ruins are all very difficult. Once you start exploring, there will inevitably be losses.

Therefore, the Security Bureau encourages those wild divine hunters to explore. If they can break through, that’s even better. If they can’t, they can still collect some information. When the God’s Ruins spread again and the Security Bureau has to take action, having this information can increase the chances of success.

“You don’t know how useless those foreign countries are, just like the epidemic, they are completely irresponsible, especially in Africa and the Americas. Ordinary people can only rely on themselves!”

Xia Hongyao smirked, “Even in Southeast Asia, there are many God’s Ruins. Their relevant departments do want to manage them, but their strength is too weak. So as long as you want, there are plenty of God’s Ruins!”

Lin Baici raised an eyebrow.

“The Ten-Year God’s Ruins are too dangerous. We can choose the three-year ones, or even the five-year ones, I think we can give it a try!”

Xia Hongyao calculated, “It’s just the two of us, and our ability to withstand risks is too weak. We should find three more trustworthy teammates at least!”

“It would be best if we have a healing divine power!”

In Xia Hongyao’s study, there was a thick stack of plans.

“Let’s wait until winter vacation.”

Lin Baici planned to explore the Busan God’s Ruins. As for now?

Of course, he would enjoy his university life.

During summer vacation, Lin Baici planned to study hard and find a good job in the future. He didn’t plan to find a girlfriend anymore. He didn’t need one now. After attending classes every day and ensuring that he wouldn’t fail any courses, he could do whatever he wanted.

Arranging a girlfriend was a must.

There were over twenty million yuan in his bank account. He couldn’t let it rust.

“By the way, is there a spacious open space? I want to practice driving!”

Lin Baici had a driver’s license, but he didn’t plan to hit the road directly. He wanted to practice for a while first.

“Is HJ Racetrack okay? When practicing driving, you have to go to the racetrack. That’s where you can improve your skills quickly.”

The place Xia Hongyao mentioned was the F1 Formula Racing Kyushu Station, which had very high-end hardware facilities.

“There’s no need to be so high-end, right?”

Lin Baici just wanted to find a playground or something.

“Never mind, I’ll take care of it. Bye.”

Xia Hongyao left. She still had to go back and write a report about the crazy maid, and the confidentiality level of this report was bound to be very high.

Only a few people could read it.

Hehe!

Now I can write high-end reports too.

It’s both painful and enjoyable.

“What should I do today?”

Lin Baici suddenly realized that he didn’t know what normal university students would do on weekends.

Those with girlfriends should be dating, but what about those without?

Play games?

Lin Baici turned around and walked west.

He knew there were several internet cafes over there.

Although he had already bought a top-of-the-line Alienware computer, Lin Baici still planned to go to the internet cafe. After all, there was a more gaming atmosphere inside.

But just as Lin Baici hadn’t walked far, he saw Gu Qingxiang. She was holding a large box with another one stacked on top.

Lin Baici immediately ran over, “Gu Qingxiang, what are you doing?”

“I’m helping you carry it!”

Lin Baici took the box on top without knowing why. He just didn’t want to call Gu Qingxiang “instructor”.

“No need!”

Gu Qingxiang didn’t feel comfortable letting a student help.

“Are you moving?”

Lin Baici saw many household items in the box.

“Yeah, I don’t know why, but everyone in the Bosuo community has terminated their leases, and I found that many neighbors are missing!”

Gu Qingxiang originally lived there because it was cheap, but later she found that there were too many student couples, so she planned to move out.

She had originally planned to endure until the end of the lease term, but not anymore.

“It’s good to change places. That community has too many people and it’s too chaotic!”

Lin Baici looked in the direction Gu Qingxiang was going, “Have you found a new place?”

“Yeah, it’s not far ahead!”

Since it was close, Gu Qingxiang didn’t hire a moving company and moved everything herself. After all, there were no large pieces of furniture.

“I’ll help you!”

Lin Baici took out his phone. He had originally planned to call a moving company since he wasn’t short of money, but after hesitating for a moment, he put his phone back in his pocket.

I’ll sell this favor today.

Lin Baici felt that moving together would enhance their friendship.

Gu Qingxiang refused twice, but seeing Lin Baici insist, she let him go.

Lin Baici had good physical strength and strength, plus the blessing of the Giant’s Strength Gauntlet. He could carry a lot of things at once. By noon, he had made seven trips back and forth and finished everything.

“What do you want to eat? I’ll treat you!”

Gu Qingxiang picked up her bag and prepared to go out.

“You haven’t even packed your things yet. It’s too troublesome to go out to eat. Let’s order takeout!”

Lin Baici took out his phone, opened Meituan, and found a restaurant that offered delivery service. He quickly placed an order, ensuring a balanced mix of meat and vegetables, with dishes and soup for a well-rounded nutrition.

Half an hour later, the delivery arrived.

Gu Qingxiang went to the door to pick it up.

The delivery person looked at her and felt that she was very beautiful, giving him a feeling of being moved.

When Gu Qingxiang closed the door, she shouted, “Baici, stop working and wash your hands to eat!”

“Okay!”

After the delivery person heard a man’s voice, his heart instantly cooled.

She has a boyfriend!

The delivery person felt uncomfortable and wanted to cry.

“You bought too much stuff!”

Gu Qingxiang looked at the table full of dishes and complained that it was too wasteful.

“Eat more, you’re too thin!”

Lin Baici didn’t stand on ceremony and sat down, serving them both.

Hearing this, Gu Qingxiang felt a warmth in her heart.The two of them chatted and ate while tidying up. They didn’t finish until three in the afternoon.

Looking at the newly renovated home, Gu Qingxiang said, “Don’t leave tonight!”

“What?”

Lin Baici was stunned. He heard it clearly, but the meaning of her words surprised him.

“No, you misunderstood!”

Gu Qingxiang blushed, her cheeks, neck, and ears turning red. “I mean, I’ll cook dinner tonight, and you can eat here!”

“Oh! Oh!”

Lin Baici thought to himself, scaring me.

“What do you like to eat?”

Gu Qingxiang was good at cooking.

“Don’t bother, I’ll eat at the cafeteria tonight!”

Lin Baici was about to take his leave. It was still more than two hours until dinner time. If Gu Qingxiang felt uncomfortable, what would he do?

“You help me move…”

Before Gu Qingxiang finished speaking, Lin Baici had already walked out the door. “You’re alone here, if you need any help, just give me a call, don’t be polite!”

After establishing a good relationship with the counselor, I can do whatever I want in college for four years, right?

Feeling great!

“Notify everyone in your class. Tomorrow at 1 pm, go to Room 2003 in Building C for the first official class meeting and elect class committee members!”

Gu Qingxiang caught up and explained.

“Okay!”

Lin Baici left the community and passed by a milk tea shop, where he ran into Ji Xinyan.

“Class monitor!”

Ji Xinyan waved her hand and smiled sweetly.

“Are you calling me?”

Lin Baici was surprised. Ji Xinyan was looking at him when she called, but he wasn’t the class monitor.

“Yes, all the members of the girls’ dormitory unanimously agreed to choose you as the class monitor.”

Ji Xinyan was wearing tight jeans today, with brown knee-high boots on her feet and a shoulder-revealing knitted woolen sweater on top, showing off her figure.

“Thank you, but can you choose someone else?”

Lin Baici didn’t want to be the class monitor. He didn’t have time to deal with class matters.

“I don’t have a say in this!”

Ji Xinyan had already guessed that Lin Baici wasn’t interested in this position. “What do you want to drink? I’ll treat you!”

If it were in high school, Lin Baici would definitely refuse, but now…

“Vanilla Lemon Supreme!”

Anyway, it’s just a chance to treat her back.

Ji Xinyan lined up to buy milk tea. She noticed that many girls were looking at Lin Baici when he arrived. Just like how men like to look at beautiful women, women also like to look at handsome men. Otherwise, why do so many women like idols?

Lin Baici’s clothes were just street stall goods, and he no longer wore the Rolex on his wrist that he had at the beginning of the school year. It was probably to keep a low profile. Coupled with his lack of grooming, he looked like an ordinary college student, but he himself was outstanding.

Tall and handsome, especially his eyes, deep and bright, as if they could emit light.

It wasn’t peach blossom eyes, but they were captivating. And the confidence he exuded from within made him look very suave.

Of course, Lin Baici was confident. Not only was he wealthy, but also because of his identity as a Divine Hunter, he was, in a sense, at the top of the food chain.

“Having a boyfriend like him would be so face-saving!”

Ji Xinyan sighed.

After buying the milk tea, she handed a cup to Lin Baici. “Here’s the Half-Tang you wanted!”

“Why?”

Lin Baici didn’t understand.

“If you gain weight, many girls won’t be able to feast their eyes on you.”

Ji Xinyan teased.

“…”

Lin Baici wasn’t sure, but was he being flirted with?

“After drinking my milk tea, should you be my bag carrier for an hour?”

When Ji Xinyan spoke, she had a slight smile on her face, which easily made people have a good impression of her.

“Whatever!”

Lin Baici didn’t care. “What about your friends?”

Usually, girls always move in groups.

“Do you think someone like me would have girls willing to hang out with me?”

Ji Xinyan rolled her eyes.

She had applied lipstick, and when she lightly sipped the straw, her lip line was very beautiful.

“Why?”

Ji Xinyan was just dressed too stylishly, which made her look a bit arrogant, but from the few times they had interacted, Lin Baici felt that this girl was pretty good.

“Because they would be overshadowed and look like an ugly duckling next to me!”

Ji Xinyan pursed her lips.

Most girls with some maturity would choose friends who were basically on the same level when it came to choosing best friends. After all, no girl wants to be inferior to others.

After all, which girl doesn’t want to be a princess!

Being with Ji Xinyan was like being a maid, always being overshadowed.

And a girl like Bai Jiao wouldn’t hang out with Ji Xinyan either, even though the two of them weren’t that different. But they would always be compared.

As the saying goes, kings don’t meet kings. When everyone gathers, they can’t become the center, but when they disperse, they become the brightest stars.

Of course, Ji Xinyan was more interested in enjoying a leisurely afternoon by herself. Otherwise, with her emotional intelligence, she could quickly become good friends with anyone.

“You’re quite confident!”

Lin Baici chuckled.

He wouldn’t have said such things before, because it might offend the other person. But now, Lin Baici didn’t care.

“Mutual!”

Ji Xinyan’s eyes curved as she looked at Lin Baici and took a big sip of her milk tea.

The boys she had interacted with before were always awkward when facing her, but this Lin Baici was calm and composed.

Oh no!

I think I’m starting to like him, what should I do?”I’m going to Yonghui to buy some stuff next, do you want to come along?”

Even though she was asking Lin Baici to be her bag carrier, Ji Xinyan still asked him.

“Let’s go!”

Lin Baici had nothing else to do anyway.

“Which department is that guy from? He’s so handsome!”

“You don’t know? He’s Lin Baici from the first-year Electrical Engineering Department. He sang a Buddhist scripture at the welcome party the day before yesterday, and it was astonishingly good!”

“Buddhist scripture? Is it as good as Lin Da’s ‘Heart Sutra’ on Bilibili? Wait, they both have the same surname, could it be the same person?”

“It is the same person!”

“Singing Buddhist scriptures is nothing, on the day of the military training performance, he killed a dog with a single shot!”

The girls in line were chattering away.

Unbeknownst to Lin Baici, he had become a minor celebrity at Haijing Institute of Technology.
