Chapter 76 – Jealousy makes me ugly


In the café, soft music flowed, creating a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, perfect for talking about love.

“You’re lying, when did I ask for a guy’s WeChat? It’s always them who approach me, okay?” Ji Xinyan rolled her eyes. She would never lower herself to such a level.

Pink Meow immediately sent a disdainful expression, and the classmates followed suit, all condemning Ji Xinyan in unison.

But it was all just teasing.

Ji Xinyan was beautiful but not arrogant. She got along well with both male and female classmates, so she had a great personality and was the undisputed core figure of the class.

Ji Xinyan ignored the people in the group chat and glanced at Huang Tao.

What’s with you always stealing glances at that kimchi girl?

Is it just because she has a better figure than me?

You men don’t understand. That kind of bear, once they hit thirty, will definitely sag.

Ji Xinyan felt annoyed and took a sip of coffee, deliberately placing the cup on the table with a thud.

“Xinyan, how’s the coffee? Does it suit your taste?” Huang Tao seemed distracted.

He used to watch those Korean girl group dance videos and thought they were sexy. But now that he saw a real person, he realized that she exuded a hormone that made people impulsive.

Huang Tao watched as Jin Yingzhen lifted the cup and placed it near her lips, which were coated with rosy red lipstick. She took a sip, lightly pressing the edge of the cup against her lips…

Damn it!

Huang Tao changed his sitting posture.

“It’s average!” Ji Xinyan pouted. She wanted to leave because sitting next to that kimchi girl made her feel inferior.

[A man with dirty thoughts like him dares to covet your backup food? I suggest burning him and feeding him to the dogs.]

The Gourmet God suddenly commented, raising Lin Baici’s eyebrows. He casually looked around and his gaze fell on Huang Tao.

Is it him?

Huang Tao met Lin Baici’s gaze and smiled, nodding politely.

Jin Yingzhen followed Lin Baici’s line of sight.

Huang Tao noticed this and was about to smile at Jin Yingzhen, even raise his cup for a toast, but she had already turned her head.

Her casual attitude was like seeing a stray dog passing by on the roadside.

This made Huang Tao feel embarrassed, and his self-esteem was severely hit.

I may not be handsome,

But I have talent!

If Jin Yingzhen heard this, she would definitely laugh and tell him,

Do you know how many students graduate from the top three universities in Korea, Seoul National University, Korea University, and Yonsei University, and line up to apply for a job at my company every year, waiting to be hired?

And I’m a face dog. Good looks impress me more than talent.

[Hey, an interesting woman. Although her overall quality is not as good as your backup food, it’s worth a try. After all, you can’t always eat the main course, right? The recipe would be too monotonous.]

[She’s like a wild cherry. You see it, pick it, put it in your mouth, chew it, change the taste, and then spit it out!]

Lin Baici frowned slightly.

Who is the Gourmet God talking about?

Is the backup food Jin Yingzhen? Then the wild cherry…

Lin Baici looked at the girl at the next table.

She wore a light yellow floral dress that accentuated her fair skin. She was so delicate that Lin Baici could break her arm with one hand. She wore a silver bracelet on her wrist.

Her eyes were big and watery, and with a foxy face, she looked like she was flirting with everyone.

Ji Xinyan noticed Lin Baici’s gaze and, with a cold demeanor, lifted her coffee cup, showing no intention of making eye contact with him.

She was pretending, but before she could even drink the coffee, the guy had already turned his head.

Damn it!

He only looked at me for less than three seconds. Well, I remember you.

Ji Xinyan gritted her teeth. In just three seconds, she broke her record for being stared at, and it was shortened by six seconds in one go. It was infuriating.

“Oppa, what do you think of that car outside?” Someone sat down next to Jin Yingzhen, and she stopped talking about the Divine Hunter.

“It looks cool!” Lin Baici looked through the car window and saw the Mercedes parked under the shade of a tree, like a dormant monster. It was a luxury car that ordinary people couldn’t afford in their lifetime.

“Haha, it’s not a Rolls-Royce. What’s so cool about it? It’s just a means of transportation!” Jin Yingzhen felt obligated to help Huang Tao reestablish his values.

Huang Tao was unhappy when he heard this.

Do you know anything about cars?

You think a Mercedes AMG E63S, which costs nearly two million, is just a means of transportation?

Can you afford it?

You livestream Korean dance every day and can’t even earn enough money to buy this car.

“Oppa!” Jin Yingzhen showed a respectful expression and took out the technologically advanced car key, handing it to Lin Baici with both hands. She bowed, “This is a back-to-school gift I’m giving you. Please don’t dislike it.”

Pfft!

Huang Tao spewed out his coffee.

What’s going on?

Is that car hers?

And she’s giving it to this guy?

What the hell…

Huang Tao felt like the heavens were full of malice towards him.

Ji Xinyan was also quite surprised. What’s the relationship between these two dog-like people?

What did that guy do to make that Korean girl give him a luxury car?

Although Ji Xinyan didn’t play with cars, she still knew a little about them. Just by looking at the paint on the car, she could tell it was brand new, probably not even half a month since it was registered.

“This gift is too precious!” Lin Baici didn’t accept it.

“Oppa, give me a chance to express my feelings!” Jin Yingzhen explained, “I was afraid you would think it’s expensive and too ostentatious, so I didn’t dare to buy a sports car. A Mercedes is already the lowest grade.”

“…”

“…”

Huang Tao and Ji Xinyan both had the same feeling,

Is this even human language?”How rich are you exactly, that a Mercedes is the lowest grade in your eyes?”

“I appreciate your kindness!”

Lin Baici was indeed touched.

“Oppa, you’re in college now, you’ll be going out with your classmates often, right? You can’t always take the subway or taxi, it’s too inconvenient!”

Jin Yingzhen persuaded, “When you have a girlfriend, are you going to let her take the bus?”

“???”

Huang Tao was dumbfounded.

What the hell?

Aren’t you even his girlfriend?

Ji Xinyan also looked surprised.

“But I don’t have a driver’s license!”

Lin Baici shrugged.

Jin Yingzhen had already thought of that, she took out a driver’s license from her handbag and handed it to Lin Baici.

Lin Baici took it and was stunned.

It was his driver’s license.

The photo on it was taken when the two of them were playing in Guangqing.

“How did you do this?”

Lin Baici was shocked.

He knew that Jin Yingzhen’s family was wealthy and probably had a lot of influence in Korea, but was it also this powerful in Jiuzhou?

“It’s simple, I first got you a Korean driver’s license, then had the legal department of our company go to the relevant department in your area to exchange it for a Jiuzhou driver’s license!”

Jin Yingzhen explained quietly, she didn’t know how the legal department did it, she just arranged the task and the people below did it well.

“Don’t worry, the whole process is legal and compliant. The only small problem is that you haven’t driven in Korea, so Oppa, you need to practice more.”

Jin Yingzhen casually demonstrated the power of capital.

Huang Tao on the side was green with envy.

Damn it,

I spent a whole summer, working hard under the scorching sun, and still haven’t gotten my driver’s license, and you guys got it so easily.

“Thank you!”

Lin Baici didn’t know what to say.

The car must not be cheap, but what’s precious is Jin Yingzhen’s thoughtfulness.

She must have been secretly preparing this college gift for him for a long time, and when she heard that he had arrived at school yesterday, she flew over from Korea.

This friendship touched Lin Baici and he remembered it in his heart. He decided not to be pretentious anymore. It’s just a car, he can also give Jin Yingzhen a valuable gift in the future.

Lin Baici was confident that even if he couldn’t get the iron rice bowl from the Jiuzhou Security Bureau and become a civil servant, as long as he got the God Hunter license, he could still enter the God’s Ruins.

At that time, he could seal a few Divine taboos, sell them in the underground black market, and make tens of millions easily.

“Oppa, don’t be polite with me!”

Lin Baici accepted the gift, which relieved Jin Yingzhen. She then happily picked up a small biscuit and threw it into her mouth.

Lin Baici was playing with the key, suddenly thought of a problem: “Where should I park it?”

He couldn’t just leave it on the street, right?

If it gets scratched or bumped by other cars, wouldn’t he be heartbroken?

“I’ve booked a luxury suite at the nearest Hilton Hotel to your university for a year. You can use the parking space as you like. You can park your car there. If you want to use the car, you can go and drive it yourself, or make a phone call, and the hotel will arrange for staff to drive it over!”

Jin Yingzhen had thought of this early on.

“You booked a luxury suite at the Hilton for a year? How much did that cost?”

Huang Tao knew it was a five-star hotel, super expensive to stay for one night. He and his ex-girlfriend didn’t dare to consider this kind of hotel when they were booking a room for Valentine’s Day.

Ji Xinyan was also dumbfounded.

Is this woman a bootlicker? Definitely a bootlicker, right?

And a purebred one at that!

“You’re spending money recklessly again!”

Lin Baici was helpless.

“I only spent a little bit of my private money!”

Jin Yingzhen stretched out her left hand, pinched her little finger with her thumb, and made a small gesture to prove that she really only spent a little bit.

“Oppa, don’t worry about these things. In the future, are you going to take a girl to a hotel where you can be heard by the next room if you make a few noises? Can you have fun?”

Jin Yingzhen had a good impression of Lin Baici, not only because of the suspension bridge effect that occurred in the Longchan Temple, but also because of the charm he showed when he broke into the God’s Ruins, which she admired.

Of course, Lin Baici’s handsome appearance, which was exactly what Jin Yingzhen liked, was also a plus.

Finally, there was the task of poaching people that her brother had assigned. Jin Yingzhen naturally did everything she could. For people like them, anything that could be solved with money was not a problem.

Seeing that he couldn’t persuade Jin Yingzhen, Lin Baici gave up.

After all, he was just a child from an ordinary family. For the past eighteen years, he had been taught to be frugal, simple, and not wasteful.

The two chatted for a while longer, then called the waitress to pay the bill and prepared to go for dinner.

“The total is eight hundred and twenty yuan, will you be paying in cash or by card?”

The waitress handed over the bill.
