The two chatted about everyday things while eating. It wasn’t until 3 p.m. that they finished cleaning up after lunch.
Looking at her newly refreshed home, Gu Qingxiang said, "Don’t leave tonight!"
Lin Baici was stunned. He had heard her clearly, but the implication of her words surprised him.
"No, don’t get me wrong!"
Gu Qingxiang blushed, her cheeks and even her neck and ears turning red: "I mean, I’ll cook dinner tonight, and you can eat here!"
Lin Baici thought to himself that she gave him quite a scare, he had thought she was being so forward.
Truth be told, had Nangong Shu extended the invitation, Lin Baici definitely wouldn’t have accepted. Who knows if it was a trap? But if it was the teaching assistant...
That was a possibility.
"What do you like to eat?"
Gu Qingxiang’s cooking skills were excellent.
"I won’t trouble you anymore, I’ll eat at the cafeteria tonight!"
Lin Baici was ready to say goodbye. There were still more than two hours until dinner, and staying here might make Gu Qingxiang feel uncomfortable, right?
"You helped me move..."
Before Gu Qingxiang could finish, Lin Baici was already walking towards the door: "If you’re alone and need help with anything, just give me a call, don’t be polite!"
Getting on good terms with the teaching assistant, wouldn’t his four years of university be a breeze?
"Notify your classmates to go to room 2003 in building C at 1 p.m. tomorrow for the first official class meeting to elect class committee members!"
Gu Qingxiang chased after him to explain.
Lin Baici left the neighborhood, and as he passed by a milk tea shop, he encountered Ji Xinyan.
Ji Xinyan waved her hand, her smile as sweet as a flower.
"Are you calling me?"
Lin Baici was surprised. Ji Xinyan had called out to him, but he wasn’t the class leader.
"Yes, the whole female dormitory has unanimously agreed to elect you as the class leader."
Today, Ji Xinyan was wearing tight-fitting jeans with tall brown boots and an off-the-shoulder knitted wool sweater that accentuated her figure.
"Thanks, but can you elect someone else?"
Lin Baici didn’t want to be the class leader as he didn’t have time to deal with class affairs.
"I don’t have the final say on that!"
Ji Xinyan had guessed Lin Baici would be uninterested in such a position: "What would you like to drink? It’s on me!"
If it had been during his high school days, Lin Baici would have definitely refused, but now...
"Vanilla Lemon King!"
He would just find an opportunity to treat her back later.
Ji Xinyan queued to buy milk tea. After noticing Lin Baici, she saw many girls sizing him up. Just like men enjoy looking at beautiful women, women also like to look at handsome men. Otherwise, why would so many women be fans of idols?
Lin Baici’s clothes were just street market goods, and he hadn’t worn that Rolex from the start of school, probably to keep a low profile. In addition, he didn’t dress up much, just an ordinary college student appearance, but he was too exceptional in himself.
He was tall and handsomely featured, especially those deep, bright, and spirited black eyes that seemed to shine.
These were not seductive eyes, but they were mesmerizing, along with the confidence radiating from within him, making him look utterly dashing.
Of course, Lin Baici was confident. Not only did he have money, but with his identity as a God Hunter, in a sense, he was at the very top of the food chain.
"Having such a boyfriend to show off would be so prestigious!"
Ji Xinyan felt a little wistful.
After buying the milk tea, she handed a cup to Lin Baici: "Here’s your half-sugar order!"
Lin Baici didn’t understand what they meant.
"If you gain weight, a lot of girls won’t have the chance to feast their eyes anymore,"
Lin Baici was unsure, but this must be flirting, right?
"After drinking my milk tea, shouldn’t you be my bag-carrying servant for an hour?"
When Ji Xinyan spoke, she always had a light smile, so it was very easy for others to feel good about her.
Lin Baici didn’t care, "What about your friends?"
Generally speaking, girls always move in packs.
"Do you think someone like me would have girls willing to hang out with me?"
Ji Xinyan rolled her eyes.
Her lips were coated with lipstick, and when she gently sipped through the straw, her lip line was very pretty.
It’s just that Ji Xinyan’s fashion sense was too trendy, which could come across as a bit much, but from the few times Lin Baici had interacted with her, he thought she was quite nice.
"Because it would make them look like ugly ducklings!"
Ji Xinyan pursed her lips.
Most mentally mature girls, when choosing besties, will usually not differ too much; they are from the same league.
Because no one wants to be outshone.
After all, which girl doesn’t want to be the princess!
Walking with Ji Xinyan would feel like being a maid, and that could be quite a blow to one’s confidence.
Even girls of Bai Jiao’s caliber wouldn’t hang out with Ji Xinyan, though the two of them weren’t too different in standing, they would always be compared.
As the saying goes, kings don’t see kings; in a crowd, no one becomes the center, but when apart, each is the brightest star.
Of course, Ji Xinyan being alone was more about enjoying a leisurely afternoon; otherwise, with her emotional intelligence, she could become good friends with anyone quickly. Thɪs chapter is updated by novel⸺fire.net
"You’re pretty confident!"
Lin Baici couldn’t help but laugh.
In the past, he wouldn’t have said such a thing, as it might have upset the other person, but now, Lin Baici didn’t care.
"The feeling’s mutual!"
Ji Xinyan’s eyes curved into a smile as she looked at Lin Baici, taking a big gulp of her milk tea.
The boys she used to meet were always awkward around her, but this Lin Baici was at ease and utterly composed.
I think I’m starting to like him a little bit. What to do?
"I’m going to Yonghui next to buy some stuff, want to come along?"
Even though she said she would make Lin Baici her bag-carrying servant, Ji Xinyan still asked.
Lin Baici was free anyway.
"Which college is that guy from? He’s so handsome!"
"You don’t know? He’s Lin Baici from the Freshman Electrical Engineering College. At the freshman welcome party the day before yesterday, he sang a Heart Sutra, stunning everyone!"
"The Heart Sutra? Is it as good as Lin Da Hungry Man’s ’Heart Sutra’ on Bilibili? Wait, both surnamed Lin, could they be the same person?"
"They are the same person!"
"So what if he sang the Heart Sutra? On the day of the military training report performance, he skewered a dog with a bayonet!"
The girls in the line were chattering away.
Lin Baici didn’t realize that he had also become a minor celebrity at Haijing Polytechnic.
