Proofreader & Editor:Peter Pan
The blond man standing nearby shuddered violently as the two young men who had been kicked in the legs by Lin Baici and were wailing on the ground also wisely fell silent, not wanting to draw Lin Baici's attention.
The lit cigarette, glowing with a dark red ember, was pressed between his lips, scalding his saliva and branding his tongue.
"Ah!"
The short-haired youth instinctively clamped his mouth shut, but the burning pain was still intense. He spat out the cigarette with a couple of coughs.
"If you spit out the cigarette again, I'll use your mouth as an ashtray and stuff it full of cigarettes!"
Lin Baici picked up another cigarette, his voice cold as if it came from a demon in hell.
"Big brother, I was wrong, please spare me?"
The short-haired youth pleaded with tears.
"Open your mouth!"
Lin Baici commanded.
"Big brother… Ah!"
Before the short-haired youth could finish, Lin Baici pressed the cigarette against his forehead.
Sizzle!
The cigarette butt seared the flesh, emitting a chilling sound.
The short-haired youth threw his head back.
"Last warning, if you dodge or spit again, next time I'll press the cigarette butt into your eye!"
After finishing his words, Lin Baici turned and looked at the two on the ground: "Are you dead? If not, come over here and hold him down!"
The two didn't move.
Playing dead, huh!
"Looks like you want to be ashtrays too?"
Lin Baici sneered coldly.
"Big brother, we were wrong, please spare us?"
The youth in the hoodie begged for mercy.
Damn, today we really hit a snag.
"Big brother, we hang out with Brother Feng, right?"
Another youth with an earring, knowing that begging was useless, quickly tried to pull some strings.
"Call Brother Feng!"
Lin Baici had always seen these people as riffraff, beating them up because the guy in front of him deliberately blew secondhand smoke his way.
Now, to take down a whole gang, what was he waiting for?
I wonder if the Safety Bureau will give me a Good Citizen Award?
Upon hearing this, the earring youth looked at Lin Baici's expression, which showed no fear or retreat, and knew that Brother Feng's influence was useless.
"Open your mouth!"
Lin Baici commanded again.
The short-haired youth hesitated, and Lin Baici pressed the cigarette against his face: "If you're not afraid of disfigurement, then so be it!"
The earring youth and the hoodie youth exchanged glances, seeing Lin Baici's ruthless actions like an executioner, they were truly frightened.
What if this guy dealt with his companions and then turned on them?
So, without consulting each other, they stood up and walked over, ready to follow Lin Baici's orders and hold down their companion, but they were no longer needed.
The short-haired youth, though tough and ruthless, knew how to go with the flow. He realized that today's revenge was certain, and after weighing his options, he decided to let his tongue suffer.
After all, a facial injury would make it impossible to face people.
So he obediently opened his mouth.
"Big brother, I won't dare again, please be gentle… Ah!"
Before the short-haired youth could finish, Lin Baici pressed the cigarette onto his tongue, turning his words into a scream.
Sizzle!
Lin Baici used the short-haired youth's mouth as an ashtray, grinding the cigarette butt before switching to another.
Creak!
The door opened, and a young man with wireless earphones humming a tune walked in. He had just put his hand on his waist when he froze.
What's going on?
He had seen men and women drunk in the nightclub, getting intimate in the restroom for thrills, but this was the first time he'd seen a man stuffing cigarettes into another man's mouth.
Damn!
So twisted!
The young man adjusted his earphones, rolled his eyes towards the ceiling, and quickly turned to leave.
He wasn't a fool; he'd rather wet his pants than relieve himself in such a place of trouble.
Lin Baici stuffed the remaining cigarettes into the short-haired youth's mouth: "Remember now?"
"Mmm! I'll never blow secondhand smoke at others again!"
With several cigarettes in his mouth and a burnt tongue, the short-haired youth's speech was unclear.
"A teachable lad!"
Lin Baici stood up, went to the sink to wash his hands: "If you're not convinced, call your Brother Feng. I'll leave before nine!"
The four hurriedly shook their heads.
Lin Baici ignored them, dried his hands under the dryer, and left the restroom.
"Damn, who is this guy?"
"Should we inform Brother Feng?"
"Aren't you afraid that Brother Feng will get beaten up too?"
The four looked embarrassed and spat blood in frustration.
Ordinary people get nervous and shaky with an accelerated heartbeat when they encounter a fight, but that guy just now, using someone's mouth as an ashtray, was completely unfazed.
Definitely a seasoned bully.
"Should we call the police? Ask for compensation?"
The blond suggested, which was actually a solution.
"I'm afraid I'll have the money but no life to spend it."
The short-haired youth spoke, wanting to slap himself. Why did he blow smoke at him?
"Let's observe and figure out who he is first!"
The earring youth was still quite clever. If they could handle it, they would call the police and scam some money; if not, they'd swallow the loss.
Lin Baici walked out of the restroom and back to the disco.
The hunger had subsided quite a bit, and it seemed there wouldn't be much gain today.
"Maybe someone lost something?"
Lin Baici pondered, and as he brushed past a wealthy woman, she suddenly vomited on the ground.
The vomit splattered everywhere.
Lin Baici instinctively wanted to activate his lightning-fast reflexes to dodge the filth, but there were too many people in the corridor and surveillance cameras, so he gave up and quickly sidestepped.
Some vomit splashed onto his shoes.
"I'm so… sorry!"
The wealthy woman, rubbing her temples, quickly apologized. She was clearly drunk, swaying on her feet.
【Thanks to the generosity of nature, delivery comes to the door. Let's eat!】
Lin Baici casually supported the wealthy woman's arm, and Gourmet God's comment made him raise an eyebrow.
Because a woman that could make Gourmet God say such things was worth tasting.
"I'll pay you!"
The wealthy woman opened her Chanel handbag, pulled out her wallet without counting, and handed Lin Baici a thick stack of cash.
At least seven or eight thousand.
"No need for compensation!"
The wealthy woman had a good attitude, and Lin Baici had no intention of claiming damages.
"Be careful!"
Lin Baici released the arm he was holding.
It must be said, Gourmet God's taste was truly impeccable.
The wealthy woman was probably in her late thirties, well-maintained with delicate skin, wearing casual wide-leg pants and a loose knit sweater, with fluffy permed hair and a round face like a freshly peeled pomelo.
The wealthy woman was quite attractive, but the first thing people noticed wasn't her looks because she was dressed too ostentatiously.
A string of pearl necklaces around her neck, diamond earrings, a jade bracelet on her left wrist, and a gold ring on her index finger.
Was she afraid people wouldn't know she was rich?
Lin Baici had no intention of being a gigolo, so he left without further conversation, and after walking a dozen meters, he squatted down, took out a tissue, and wiped the vomit off his shoes.
Too bad there were too many people, otherwise he could have taken a new pair of shoes from the black urn.
【She's a woman capable of bearing children!】
Gourmet God reminded.
Lin Baici looked back; indeed, the wealthy woman's wide-leg pants were tight around her buttocks.
"Let others gnaw on the old clam!"
Lin Baici's mind flashed with Jin Yingzhen's figure, and he quickly shook his head.
He shouldn't think about it.
After all, she was a friend.
Would he have to take responsibility if he devoured the Tea Maiden?
Lin Baici felt like a scoundrel.
【Mating and reproduction are the instincts of life; there's no need to feel ashamed.】
【A top predator should eat the fattest prey, enjoy the most beautiful females, and dominate the most fertile territory.】
【When it's time to eat, who dares to take the first bite before me?】
Lin Baici didn't have the arrogance of eating first while others could only watch and then come to eat the leftovers.
The DJ started spinning, and the vigorous music heated up the nightclub atmosphere.
Alcohol lingered on the taste buds, and the sight of handsome men and beautiful women stimulated the nerves.
When Lin Baici returned to his booth, he saw that few people were left; they had all gone to the dance floor to play.
"Is it boring?"
Lin Baici sat next to Hu Wenwu.
"It's okay!"
Hu Wenwu took a small sip of beer: "Some guys came to hit on Ji Xinyan and the others, so they used dancing as an excuse to get away!"
"Oh!"
Lin Baici took out his phone and logged onto the Origin Forum. He hadn't been browsing for a few minutes when Hua Yueyu sent him a message.
Little Mermaid: The night is long and so boring!
Lin Baici: Aren't you streaming?
Little Mermaid: I am, but my teammates are so bad, I'm losing blood!
Lin Baici opened the Shark Platform app and found Hua Yueyu's live stream.
Little Mermaid was live, dressed in a sailor outfit with white stockings, a hair clip on her head, playing LOL, and occasionally cursing.
Lin Baici: Why be modest? You're pretty good, aren't you? Are you free? Come play, I'll carry you!
Little Mermaid: I'm having dinner with classmates.
Little Mermaid: I'm so envious of your classmates. Little Bai, shall we have a meal together sometime?
Lin Baici: Sure!
Tyrannosaurus without teeth: Fish sister, what are you doing? Focus, how can you die like that?
Wu Gang chops Chang'e: Didn't you hear the sound of a WeChat message? Fish sister is chatting with someone!
The Rib of Fish Sister: Wuuu, I've never seen Fish sister smile so happily before, could it be a message from Fish Brother-in-law?
The Son of Four Legs: If the host has a husband and still streams, isn't that scamming money? Quick, explain with a screenshot, or I'll unsubscribe. Water friends, let's go, unsubscribe wave!
This ID was the alternate account of The Son of Three Legs, who was banned last time for saying Lin Baici had a good figure and was suitable to be a gigolo, leading to his current ban. Since then, he turned from a fan to a hater, leading the charge every day.
He wanted to continue posting bullet comments but found he had been muted.
What's going on?
The Son of Four Legs was confused; Hua Yueyu was actually quite tolerant, as long as there was no continuous swearing or overly explicit content, she wouldn't ban anyone, but why was she so strict today?
Could it be that I guessed right?
The People of the Motherland are not laughing: Fish sister smiles so sweetly, this is definitely a sign of love!
Many water friends also noticed that this game, which could have been won, was being thrown by Hua Yueyu, her attention all on chatting.
The Rib of Fish Sister: Fish sister, I beg you, white stockings are my last stand, please don't wear them when you have a deep conversation with Fish Brother-in-law, okay?
The comments below immediately flooded the chat.
Don't wear black stockings!
Don't wear a maid outfit!
Please put on thermal pants!
***
The live stream room was bustling with activity.
Lin Baici: Stop chatting and focus on streaming!
This was Little Mermaid's career, and Lin Baici didn't want to delay her because once a female streamer's relationship status is revealed, her popularity often declines significantly.
Little Mermaid: Then let's chat after I finish streaming!
Hua Yueyu looked at the comments on the screen, hoping that Lin Baici hadn't seen them.
Would he be jealous?
No,
I'll wear what the water friends mentioned tonight and show it to Little Bai on video.
"You took a long time in the restroom, do you need to see a urologist?"
Ji Xinyan returned and sat down next to Lin Baici.
She had left earlier to avoid those two guys hitting on her, and now that Lin Baici was back, she naturally came over immediately. It was still more interesting to play with the class monitor.
"…"
Lin Baici was speechless; if Tea Maiden kept flirting with him, he was really afraid he wouldn't be able to resist,
And he would just give in.
"Why didn't you drive here? Let everyone know that you're not only handsome but also wealthy!"
Ji Xinyan looked at Lin Baici and asked quietly, "Aren't you using this method to find true love?"
Lin Baici frowned; how did Tea Maiden know? He hadn't driven that car.
Right!
On the second day of school registration, Ji Xinyan and her fellow townsman were sitting next to each other drinking coffee, so she must have seen the Mercedes.
"It was a gift!"
Lin Baici said, laughing, as he could now afford four of those cars a month.
"Do you hope girls like you for you, not your money, but have you forgotten how high your looks are?"
Ji Xinyan's right index finger touched the top of the beer bottle, stroking it up and down: "I'm sure if a female demon had to choose between you and Tang Seng, she would definitely choose you. After all, eating Jin Chanzi is a one-time meal, but your face can be looked at for a lifetime."
"Do you like me? Want to be friends? Or just looking for a fling?"
Lin Baici got straight to the point.
Ji Xinyan didn't answer because Bai Jiao and the others had returned.
Tea Maiden immediately sat up straight, and Lin Baici's question made her hesitate. Should she start a romance?
She wasn't ready yet!
Besides, even if she wanted to, she probably couldn't tame Lin Baici, the dragon, right?
Everyone sat for a while longer, and Bai Jiao checked her phone: "It's about time, call Qian Hui and the others to stop dancing and head back to school!"
Pei Fei had already sent a message in the class group, but with so much noise, surely some people couldn't hear it.
Lin Baici called everyone one by one.
A few minutes later, Xu Daguang and Zhang Zhixu returned.
"Old Bai, why do you look like a wandering monk?"
Xu Daguang felt Lin Baici was too pretentious, obviously trying to win Ji Xinyan and Bai Jiao's favor by not going wild. This wouldn't do; everyone must fall together.
But after seeing how Lin Baici handled Liu Yu, he didn't dare to say anything too offensive, or he would be the next one isolated by the class.
"I've had my fill of fish and meat when you weren't looking!"
Lin Baici chuckled.
"Damn, class monitor, you're too honest. You know you could lose your mating rights for four years, right?"
Zhang Zhixu teased.
"Class monitor, is your fish and meat proper?"
Several girls laughed.
They had little interaction with Lin Baici before and thought he was generous, shy, and aloof, but after close contact today, they realized he was also quite humorous.
The boys thought Lin Baici's response would lower his favorability in the girls' hearts, but even the most reserved Bai Jiao didn't mind.
"Thank goodness heaven is fair, giving the class monitor looks but not money or talent!"
Zhou Zhou muttered quietly.
"Did you forget how he chanted at the welcome party?"
Ji Xinyan laughed: "If he went on The Voice or something, he would definitely become an overnight sensation!"
"Right, the class monitor's Bilibili account 'Lin the Hungry Man' had a million followers a few days ago. If he really managed it, he would be a web celebrity, earning at least tens of thousands a month, right?"
Liu Zilu felt Lin Baici was wasting opportunities.
If it were her, she would drop out to become an UP master!
As everyone chattered, waiting for everyone to gather, a large group of waiters caught everyone's attention.
Each of them was holding an electronic sparkler, confetti cannon, balloons, etc., like they were celebrating someone's birthday, making a grand spectacle as they paraded around the dance floor.
"What's this about?"
Zhou Zhou was curious: "Is someone having a birthday?"
"Someone ordered the Dragon Set!"
Xu Daguang knew about this; some waiters were holding very exquisite wine boxes, which must contain expensive wines that ordinary people couldn't afford.
"What's that?"
Zhang Zhixu was curious.
"It's six bottles of champagne called Ace of Spades, with different colors, including a limited edition black gold that's hard to buy. Anyway, I've seen it go for seventy-eight or eighty-eight thousand for a set!"
Xu Daguang explained: "Just understand it as a prop for tycoons to show off."
"Damn, a few bottles of wine for seventy-eight thousand?"
Zhang Zhixu was shocked.
"It's nothing, my monthly income can afford three sets!"
Xu Daguang boasted, though he didn't have that much, but if a Dragon Set could win Ji Xinyan or Bai Jiao, he would definitely grit his teeth and order one.
Everyone watched the excitement, wanting to know who ordered it, but soon realized that the eye-catching team of waiters made a round and stopped in front of their booth.
What's going on?
The leading handsome young man, along with the waiters, shouted loudly.
"Miss Zhong wishes all the students academic success, a bountiful love life, and a bright future."
After the waiters finished shouting, they set off the small cannons in their hands.
Pop pop pop!
Confetti flew.
"Is… is there a mistake?"
Hu Wenwu was nervous because the commotion was big, and many people were looking this way, making him uncomfortable.
"We didn't order this, and we don't know that Miss Zhong."
Zhang Zhixu quickly explained, damn it, a Dragon Set for 78888, we can't afford to compensate.
On the girls' side, except for the little rich girl Ji Xinyan, including Bai Jiao, everyone was panicking because this was indeed a huge sum.
"Class monitor, say something!"
Pei Fei urged.
"They made a mistake, they won't make us pay, will they?"
Liu Zilu worried.
