175: Red Thread of Marriage

An event of this scale is truly what you'd call a publicly funded trip.

You see, this city doesn't just have one university; the number of teams that can participate from each university is quite considerable.

Because of this, the organizers specially arranged private planes to transport the participants.

The reasons for this are, firstly, to ensure the safety of those highly skilled individuals, and secondly, to consider that not everyone owns flying pet beasts; all-rounder contestants like Lin Yan are, after all, a tiny minority.

Why, even some participants who have reached the Master level might not be a match for Li Wen in combat.

Just as Li Wen was about to check in his luggage, something rather embarrassing happened.

Since they were taking a special plane, everyone boarding had to wear a conspicuous badge.

However, the only people from Lin Yan's laboratory participating in this event were himself and Li Wen.

When Li Wen summoned all his pet beasts to help him move his belongings, he didn't expect to be mistaken for an assistant by teams from other schools.

Then, a shout came.

"Hey, can you help me check in these bags too?"

Li Wen turned his head at the sound, only to see two girls with thick glasses standing in front of him.

Even through their lenses, it was clear that both had deep dark circles around their eyes, as if they hadn't rested well in a long time.

The one who didn't speak, though not as stunning as Zhu Ling, as cute as his sister-in-law, or as gentle as Li Muyun, was still considered above average among the girls Li Wen had met.

In an instant, a highly unreliable idea flashed through Li Wen's mind—to turn the tables!

"Okay," Li Wen responded decisively. As soon as he spoke, Qingyan, who possessed diverse abilities, quickly sprang into action.

Skillfully using the tough yet slender Insect Silk in its hand, it effortlessly bundled and transported all the heavy luggage carried by a team of over ten people.

The entire process was seamless.

Next, Li Wen, with a slight smile, slowly walked up to the girl who had remained silent with her head down, and softly said,

"Beautiful lady, it's like this."

"Due to our team's performance review requirements, a dedicated person must confirm and record relevant work, so would it be too much trouble to add my QQ account?"

"This will also facilitate future communication and exchange."

Hearing this, the girl, who had been keeping her head down, suddenly looked up, her face full of surprise, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Ah?"

However, when she clearly saw Li Wen's face, she instantly became extremely shy, like a startled fawn, quickly lowered her head again, and timidly whispered,

"Do I… do I really have to add your QQ?"

Although she was still hesitating verbally, her hand had already honestly reached into her pocket, beginning to search for her phone.

Seeing this, Li Wen secretly rejoiced, but maintained a serious and earnest expression on the surface, and further strengthened his tone, firmly replying,

"I'm truly sorry, but this is indeed required for work. I kindly ask for your understanding and support."

As expected, Li Wen's words had an immediate effect.

The girl hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded gently, slowly pulled out her phone from her pocket, and said somewhat nervously,

"Alright."

The person who had been quite rude earlier, upon witnessing this scene, felt a surge of nameless anger and decided to prevent any further development between Li Wen and the shy girl.

The person quickly stepped forward, shouting, "He doesn't look like he has good intentions, junior sister, don't trust him, lest you be deceived!"

However, it was already too late. At this moment, Li Wen had already quickly pulled out his phone and scanned the shy girl's QR code.

A crisp notification sound indicated that the two had successfully added each other as friends.

The girl hesitated slightly, but ultimately tapped the screen, agreeing to Li Wen's friend request.

Afterward, she timidly looked at her senior sister and softly said, "Senior sister, I think he looks quite handsome, and doesn't seem like a bad person!"

Upon hearing this, the senior sister couldn't help but frown slightly, and earnestly admonished her junior sister.

"Yiyi, you are still too naive and innocent. The more handsome a man is, the more likely he is to be a heartless scoundrel."

"Don't be deceived by his appearance, or you'll regret it later."

With that, the senior sister glared fiercely at Li Wen, her gaze filled with deep resentment, as if she had personally experienced the pain of being deceived by Li Wen.

At this moment, Li Wen's plan had already succeeded. Since his goal had been achieved, he naturally had no need to continue lingering there and enduring personal attacks.

So, he turned and left directly, leaving the two behind.

After boarding the plane, Li Wen couldn't wait to start thinking about how to cleverly recommend this girl's QQ account to Lu Chen.

After all, a guy like Lu Chen, who was as stubborn as a block of wood, would probably never proactively play matchmaker unless some incident was intentionally created to prompt him into action.

Actually, the reason Li Wen wanted to add this girl's contact information wasn't just because she was somewhat attractive.

A bigger reason was the strong scholarly aura emanating from the girl, which made Li Wen, upon first sight, immediately recognize her and Lu Chen as belonging to the same type of person.

To put it bluntly, they were both unadulterated bookworms!

It must be said, if these two could get together, they would truly be a match made in heaven!

However, at this very moment, the problem that gave Li Wen a headache was: what method should he use to successfully bring about this beautiful match?

For a moment, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but none seemed perfect enough to ensure that this destined couple would ultimately end up together as he wished.

He sighed, saying,

"Lu Chen, how will you thank me? I've solved your marriage problem on this business trip."
