“Where are your friends? Call a few over.”

Seeing Ji Xinyan’s condition, Lin Baici realized that she was highly likely to be drunk. What should he do then?

He didn’t want to support Tea Sister back to the girls’ dormitory.

“I have no friends. I am a lonely star in the sky!”

Ji Xinyan rolled her eyes and thought to herself that Lin Baici would never have a girlfriend in his lifetime. She didn’t want to waste any more words and threw the dozen bottles of liquor from the shelf into the shopping cart. She pulled Lin Baici to the checkout counter.

“…”

Lin Baici was speechless. It seemed that Tea Sister really intended to drown her sorrows in alcohol.

After they finished paying, they walked out with a big bag of stuff and headed straight for the food street.

“Let’s have barbecue. It’s lively!”

Ji Xinyan made a decision.

Autumn had arrived, and the weather had turned cooler. The business at the barbecue stalls was not as booming as before. Tea Sister led Lin Baici straight to Yang Er’s barbecue stall.

“Boss, give us a roasted lamb leg and two vegetarian platters.”

Ji Xinyan found a seat by the side and casually shouted. She handed the menu on the table to Lin Baici. “Order whatever you want!”

“You’re quite skilled at this!”

Lin Baici was surprised. He thought that Ji Xinyan, being an elegant girl, wouldn’t eat barbecue by the roadside.

“Tsk, do you think I’m the kind of woman who goes out with men to eat either Japanese or Western food, takes pictures before eating, and posts them on social media?”

Ji Xinyan was used to being mistaken for a green tea, but in reality, she had never had a boyfriend. However, she had a wealth of theoretical knowledge.

“It depends on the person. For example, you. I think it’s interesting to eat barbecue together!”

Ji Xinyan giggled. “When the meat is served later, let’s take a few photos together. I’ll post them on social media for three days straight and say that I have a boyfriend.”

“…”

Lin Baici looked down at the menu. He admitted that he couldn’t resist her.

Ji Xinyan opened a bottle of liquor and handed it to Lin Baici. Then she opened another bottle for herself. They didn’t use cups. She clinked her bottle against Lin Baici’s and took a sip.

Seeing her skilled movements, Lin Baici knew that Tea Sister must have drunk a lot before.

Lin Baici had only eaten at this restaurant twice, but the boss already remembered him. There was no way around it. Every time he came, he brought a different girl, and they were all of high quality.

The boss glanced at Ji Xinyan and then at the pile of liquor. He felt that something might happen between them tonight.

He suddenly felt envious.

Damn it!

Scumbag!

The boss’s barbecue skills were excellent, but Lin Baici and Zhu Qiunan had already eaten, so they weren’t hungry. Ji Xinyan also didn’t have the mood to eat. She just kept drinking.

Soon, there were eight empty bottles on the ground.

At first, Ji Xinyan was in a bad mood, but after drinking half a bottle of liquor, she didn’t care about today’s failure anymore. Instead, she wanted to get Lin Baici drunk and hear his heartfelt words.

So she drank quickly, wanting to finish the battle as soon as possible. However, Lin Baici was clear-headed, and the liquor felt like water to him.

He wasn’t drunk at all.

“I must say, Squad Leader, you can hold your liquor!”

Ji Xinyan felt that they were going to have a long battle tonight, so she changed her tactics.

“It’s alright!”

Lin Baici’s constitution had been strengthened, and his metabolism was already strong. Moreover, he had activated the Wine Pool and Meat Forest, so he wouldn’t get drunk.

“Let’s play a game of Truth or Dare, how about that?”

Ji Xinyan blinked her charming eyes and looked at Lin Baici. “Each person can ask the other a question, and the other person must tell the truth. If they don’t want to answer, they have to drink a cup of liquor. If they hesitate and still decide not to answer, they have to drink two cups.”

[A prey who thinks they are a hunter has launched an attack on you!]

“I don’t want to play!”

Lin Baici had no interest in Ji Xinyan’s past.

“Why aren’t you playing by the rules?”

Ji Xinyan pouted. “No fun!”

Tea Sister started using provocative tactics.

“I’m afraid of hearing things I shouldn’t.”

Lin Baici thought to himself that he had too many secrets that couldn’t be known by others.

“Do you know that if a woman doesn’t get drunk, a man won’t have a chance?”

Ji Xinyan rested her elbow on her knee, propped her chin with her hands, and looked at Lin Baici.

Under the streetlight, Tea Sister’s cheeks were slightly flushed from the alcohol, and her expression carried a hint of tipsiness. To be honest, her watery big eyes were still very tempting.

“From now on, please call me a gentleman!”

Lin Baici picked up his glass, toasted Ji Xinyan, and took a sip.

“Pfft!”

Ji Xinyan laughed. “See, isn’t it much better to be humorous? Why be so rigid and serious? Life is too long, and life is too short. It’s a downer to enter the grave with regrets!”

“Come on, first question. What kind of girl do you like?”

Ji Xinyan turned her head and shouted, “Boss, bring four more blankets!”

“…”

Lin Baici fell silent. He hadn’t really thought about this question.

But he remembered how Shesi Jian had commented on him. He liked girls who were a year older, wore black stockings and high heels.

Lin Baici subconsciously thought of Nangong Shu.

Do I really like women who are like aunties?

“Here, two cups!”

Ji Xinyan filled the cups with liquor and signaled that Lin Baici could drink. “Can’t you handle losing?”

Lin Baici glanced at Tea Sister and directly picked up the two cups of liquor, downing them in one gulp. Well, since you want to play, let me show you the power of the Wine Pool and Meat Forest.

“Have you ever been in a relationship?”

Lin Baici counterattacked.

“No!”

Ji Xinyan looked into Lin Baici’s eyes. “That’s the first question. I’ll give you an extra piece of information. I have a wealth of theoretical knowledge, all learned from watching movies.”Lin Baici frowned. He originally thought that the theoretical knowledge referred to love experience, but when Ji Xinyan added the words “adult videos,” it easily led people to think otherwise.

Lin Baici’s mouth moved, but he ultimately didn’t have the courage to ask.

“Are you wondering what adult videos are?”

Ji Xinyan laughed. “They are just edited romantic movies, like Titanic and Jane Eyre.”

I don’t believe you!

Lin Baici felt like he had been tricked. He couldn’t grasp Tea Sister’s level at all.

“It’s my turn!”

Ji Xinyan’s eyes turned. “Are you an O-type man?”

“…”

Lin Baici felt tortured.

“Drink up!”

Ji Xinyan filled Lin Baici’s cup, two cups in fact.

She was certain that Lin Baici was thin-skinned and wouldn’t dare to say anything.

Lin Baici admitted defeat.

“Next, do you have any plans for the future? Do you plan to stay in Haijing?”

Ji Xinyan knew the importance of relaxation. Pressuring Lin Baici too much would only make him rebellious. So she started to guide the conversation towards ideals.

One, this topic was high-level. Two, most men liked to brag, especially in front of girls.

Ji Xinyan was giving Lin Baici another chance.

At the same time, she also wanted to hear what unique ideals Lin Baici could come up with.

Lin Baici fell silent.

His previous thoughts were simple: get into a good university, find a good job, settle down in a big city, and not let his mother suffer. Find a wife who loves him.

With a decent salary, pay off the mortgage, deduct living expenses, and still have some spare money to spend on things he liked.

His childhood friend, Li Wei, was also working hard for this goal.

But now…

Lin Baici had become a Divine Hunter. He hadn’t thought about the future. He was currently struggling with whether or not to join the Nine Provinces Security Bureau. In fact, he was already tempted. His only worry was the fear of losing his freedom.

He admitted that after gaining some power and achieving some results, he had become a bit arrogant.

In short, he didn’t want to be controlled by others.

He didn’t have any thoughts about becoming a Dragon-level Divine Hunter or a Nine Provinces Dragon Wing. Currently, all he wanted was to obtain more divine blessings, divine taboos, meteorites, and divine remains.

So he planned to take the Divine Hunter license exam during winter break and then go to Goryeo to explore the Busan God’s Ruins.

Good things from foreigners shouldn’t be missed.

“Just talk casually, why is it so difficult?”

Ji Xinyan was surprised.

Contrary to her expectations, Lin Baici didn’t start boasting. Instead, he fell into contemplation, clearly burdened with something on his mind.

“Difficult!”

Lin Baici thought of Xia Hongyao and Xiong Da. Xia Hongyao was simple-minded, with the goal of purifying all the God’s Ruins and becoming a Nine Provinces Dragon Wing to protect this world.

To be honest, Lin Baici admired Xiong Da.

“Difficult, then let’s drink!”

Ji Xinyan suddenly realized that she couldn’t understand Lin Baici. He might be hiding another side of himself.

Lin Baici didn’t use a cup, he directly picked up the bottle and chugged half of it.

“Hey, hey, this isn’t beer!”

Ji Xinyan was a little startled and quickly picked up some food to feed Lin Baici, bringing it to his mouth. “Quick, line your stomach, be careful not to hurt your stomach!”

“…”

Lin Baici didn’t eat because the food had been touched by Ji Xinyan.

“What? Do you dislike my saliva?”

Ji Xinyan pouted, putting the food back down, secretly scolding herself for being so flustered.

Lin Baici wasn’t her boyfriend, so if his stomach got upset, it would be his problem. Why was she so anxious?

[This girl is quite clever. Even as a top predator in the food chain, she occasionally makes mistakes. Not surprising!]

“As punishment for disliking me, I’ll continue asking. How many female friends do you have?”

Ji Xinyan started again.

“Three?”

Lin Baici met Xia Hongyao the latest, but they were the closest. They had lived and died together several times, so he considered Xiong Da as his brother. Even if the other party died, he would take care of their wife, children, and family for a lifetime.

Hua Yueyu and Jin Yingzhen were friends. However, Hua Yueyu was too humble when facing him, which made Lin Baici feel guilty.

“Tsk, quite a lot!”

Ji Xinyan pouted. “Scumbag!”

“How am I a scumbag?”

Lin Baici felt wronged. If he were shameless, he would have already pursued Jin Yingzhen, and Hua Yueyu probably wouldn’t resist either. As for Xia Hongyao?

No, he couldn’t do it.

With a large amount of alcohol in his system, Ji Xinyan’s words flowed freely. She no longer schemed against Lin Baici, but genuinely shared her troubles with him, like a friend confiding in another.

Under the influence of this atmosphere, Lin Baici also shared a lot.

“Why don’t you join? Let me tell you, no matter the era, having a stable job is the best. There are many hidden benefits that you won’t see if you don’t join. And according to what you said, your friend is still weak. Join first, if you enjoy it, continue. If you don’t, then quit!”

Ji Xinyan felt that Lin Baici’s worries were meaningless. “But no matter what you choose, don’t regret it. Life is a long journey, and you will encounter good things again!”

Lin Baici felt that Ji Xinyan made sense.

“By the way, are you making things up?”

Ji Xinyan glanced at Lin Baici, thought for a moment, and realized that Lin Baici was too young. He hadn’t reached the age to take the civil service exam.

Ding Dong!

Lin Baici’s phone rang.

He took it out and saw that it was Jin Yingzhen’s customary selfie greeting.

Ji Xinyan leaned over.

Lin Baici suddenly smelled a faint fragrance.

“Did your friend send this? It’s good not to be selfish!”

Ji Xinyan teased.

She had a smile on her face, but her heart skipped a beat.

Damn it.That Korean girl is so aggressive, has she really gone this far?

She recognized the girl in the photo. It was the first time she met Lin Baici at the Fei Lengcui Cafe, and the Korean girl next to him.

The Korean girl was only wearing underwear, standing in a huge wardrobe, taking pictures of almost half of the wardrobe.

This girl is scheming, because the theme of her selfie is the clothes, and she only shows half of her body.

But this kind of ambiguity is even more enticing.

“Hehe!”

Lin Baici smiled perfunctorily, intending to put away his phone, but Ji Xinyan had already tactfully stepped back.

Princess of Christ Mountain: Oppa, I’m going to attend the charity banquet hosted by the First Lady tomorrow night. Which dress should I wear?

Lin Xia Dai Yue Gui: No matter what you wear, you will always be the most dazzling princess.

After Lin Baici sent the message, he regretted it and quickly retracted it.

Damn it!

Drinking too much, his brain wasn’t functioning properly. This kind of compliment could easily be misunderstood.

Princess of Christ Mountain: I saw it, thank you for your praise, Oppa. I don’t know if I’m a princess, but I know that you are my king!

King?

Why not a prince?

Lin Baici didn’t quite understand. He looked at the time and put away his phone. “It’s getting late, let’s go back?”

“Okay!”

The girl with high emotional intelligence knew when to stop. Ji Xinyan turned her head. “Boss, the bill, please!”

“Okay!”

The boss came over with the payment code and couldn’t help but glance at Lin Baici.

Envy dried up his whole being.

Brother, you’ve come three times and it’s always the girls who pay the bill.

I really admire you.

The key is that all three girls are beautiful in their own ways, but if he had to choose, he would choose today’s girl.

The boss’s gaze swept over Ji Xinyan’s tight jeans and knee-high boots.

Damn, he likes this style.

Ji Xinyan stumbled a bit when she stood up.

Lin Baici quickly supported her arm.

“It’s okay!”

Ji Xinyan smiled at Lin Baici. “But if someone wants to carry me back, I won’t refuse.”

Lin Baici smiled slightly and let go of the tea girl.

“Hey, you’re useless when given the chance!”

Ji Xinyan shook her head.

The two of them walked towards the school under the moonlight.

Perhaps because they had said too much just now, they were not in the mood now and remained silent until they reached the girls’ dormitory building.

Ji Xinyan’s alcohol tolerance was really good. Although she didn’t look very clear-headed, she didn’t need Lin Baici’s support and walked back on her own.

“Goodbye!”

Ji Xinyan waved her hand and went back to the dormitory, only to find that everyone was there.

“Heart言, did you go drinking?”

Pei Fei smelled the alcohol on Ji Xinyan and asked with concern. She even got out of bed and poured her a glass of water.

“Yeah, I met a friend!”

Ji Xinyan explained.

Everyone believed her, except for Bai Jiao, who was lying on the bed wearing headphones and listening to music. She smirked and revealed a smile.

It was just a consolation for the loser.

Ji Xinyan washed her face and chuckled to herself.

Bai Jiao must be laughing at me, the loser, right?

Yes, I did fail, but my relationship with Lin Baici has taken a step closer today.

Happy.

Ji Xinyan hummed a little tune.

In the dormitory, everyone was actually quite nervous. After all, Ji Xinyan lost to Bai Jiao in the competition, and they were afraid that their relationship would become strained. But now that they saw Ji Xinyan was fine, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

“Heart言 is really open-minded!”

Pei Fei sighed.

After Ji Xinyan finished washing up, she applied a face mask and lay down on the bed. She opened WeChat and sent a message to Lin Baici.

Your Conscience is Lying: Are you back?

Ji Xinyan thought for a moment, pulled down the strap of her pajamas, took a selfie with the face mask on, and sent it to Lin Baici.

Your Conscience is Lying: Do I look like a female ghost?

“I wonder how Lin Baici and Zhu Qiunan’s dinner went?”

Liu Zilu was curious. “Zhu Qiunan probably has fallen for Lin Baici!”

“The Bridge Effect, not surprising!”

Bai Jiao’s response had a taste of rationality.

“He’s not outstanding in any way! Is he good at singing? Is he good at playing cards?”

In Bai Jiao’s opinion, if he couldn’t demonstrate his excellence, he couldn’t be considered outstanding.

“Hey, does Lin Baici’s family really have money? He gave out so many red envelopes today!”

Zhou Zhou grabbed over a hundred yuan today, enough for several days of buying chicken legs.

“No money.”

Bai Jiao’s answer was decisive.

Ji Xinyan couldn’t help but laugh when she heard this.

“But I saw him with a new phone!”

Not only Zhou Zhou, but several other girls also noticed.

“Huabei, Jiebei, various small loans. If you want to use them, you can!”

Bai Jiao thought that Lin Baici was just giving out so many red envelopes to save face. After all, his dressing habits didn’t seem like those of a rich kid.

“Qian Jiahui is the one who’s really rich!”

Bai Jiao was certain of this.

“What? Do you want to be Mrs. Qian Jia?”

Ji Xinyan teased.

Bai Jiao was about to say that Qian Jiahui only had money and wasn’t qualified to marry her, but she thought that this statement might reach Qian Jiahui’s ears, so she didn’t say it.

“I do!”

Liu Zilu giggled. “Heart言, Bai Jiao, don’t compete with me!”

“Don’t worry!”

Ji Xinyan thought to herself, even if I had to choose, I would choose Lin Baici.

Bai Jiao couldn’t be bothered to respond to this topic.

But if she had to choose between Lin Baici and Qian Jiahui, she would choose Qian Jiahui.

…

When Lin Baici returned to the dormitory, everyone was there.

“Old Bai, how did it go? Is the relationship confirmed?”

Xu Daguan was curious.”We only ate for fifteen minutes, then we went our separate ways!”

Lin Baici shrugged his shoulders.

“It seems she was just expressing her gratitude!”

Xu Daguang analyzed.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yu felt relieved. If Lin Baici were to pursue the top student in their grade, he felt that he wouldn’t be comfortable throughout his four years of college.

“Why did you come back so late then?”

Xu Daguang sniffed, “Did you go drinking?”

“I ran into a fellow townsman!”

Lin Baici replied nonchalantly. As he walked to the sink, his phone rang.
