34: Chapter 34 Taking the Initiative

Lin Yi did not reply to Li Tong.

There was no need to.

Li Tong wouldn't lose favorability just because he didn't reply to her messages.

After all, she had been after the money from the very beginning.

This kind of person wouldn't care about your attitude toward them.

As long as the money was sufficient, she would always stay by your side.

Just as Lin Yi was about to put down his phone and go to sleep, another new message arrived.

He opened it and saw that it was from Ye Shuangshuang.

It was a selfie of her lying in bed at that moment.

In the image, a pair of snow-white, slender legs were partially hidden under the covers.

And it was accompanied by a sentence.

"The bed is still the most comfortable; I was freezing from the rain just now."

"You should be careful too, don't catch a cold!"

It had to be said that a high-level female player like Ye Shuangshuang really knew how to handle men.

Seeing this selfie from Ye Shuangshuang, Lin Yi's blood instantly began to boil.

After hesitating for a long while, Lin Yi tentatively asked a question.

"How about I come over and help you massage your legs?"

After a long time, Ye Shuangshuang replied.

"In your dreams."

"Maybe next time. I'm going to sleep now!"

She even added a playful emoji.

These two short sentences left Lin Yi's mind fluttering.

Moreover, that suggestive "maybe next time" kept Lin Yi's heart from settling down for a long time.

Did this sentence mean that while today was a no, next time would be okay? Then when would next time be?

Lin Yi had already started daydreaming.

Especially when he imagined the scene of placing his hands on Ye Shuangshuang's fair and slender legs.

Just thinking about that scenario felt incredibly steamy.

With these thoughts, Lin Yi drifted off to sleep and had a very intense dream.

...

Early the next morning, Lin Yi was woken up by his alarm.

The rain outside had stopped, and Lin Yi had to take a taxi back to school.

If he was late, he would probably be punished with laps by the military training instructor.

When Lin Yi checked out, Ye Shuangshuang was not yet awake.

Lin Yi didn't knock on her door to wake her up.

After sending her a message, he left by taxi.

He also sent a message to Yin Na, the female sales consultant at the Porsche 4S store, telling her that the car had a flat tire and sent her the car's location.

Yin Na replied quickly, saying she would handle the matter as soon as possible.

She also asked Lin Yi if he needed her to send a loaner car over.

Lin Yi thought about it; he would be able to get his own car in another two days anyway.

He could just travel by taxi for these few days.

So, he declined Yin Na's proposal.

It took over forty minutes by taxi from the vicinity of Ye Shuangshuang's university to Lin Yi's university.

Lin Yi urged the driver frantically along the way, making the driver a bit impatient.

Fortunately, Lin Yi arrived at the school playground just one minute before the military training assembly whistle blew.

Seeing Lin Yi arrive, He Linwei approached with a sly grin and even sniffed Lin Yi vigorously.

"Old Lin, which girl were you with last night?"

"Do you have photos? Let me see!"

Hu Kai also leaned over curiously.

Although he and He Linwei still weren't speaking, he didn't have any issue with Lin Yi.

He naturally didn't want to miss out on such a gossip opportunity.

Lin Yi gave them both a roll of his eyes and solemnly emphasized that he had slept alone last night.

However, no one believed this answer.

Lin Yi also felt a wave of grievance in his heart.

I really did sleep by myself last night.

That idiot at the front desk insisted the hotel only had two rooms left; what could I do!

I wanted someone to sleep with me too.

But the reality of the situation didn't allow it!

How come no one believes the truth these days!

...

...

The morning's military training passed amidst laughter and joy.

There was a three-hour break at noon.

Besides eating lunch, one could also go back to the dormitory for a short nap.

After finishing his meal, Lin Yi lay on his dormitory bed, took out his phone, and logged into the Nanling University of the Arts campus forum.

From last night until now, the public opinion should have fermented enough.

It was time to reel in the net.

Lin Yi also created a burner account.

He saw that there were already several hundred comments under the post Ye Shuangshuang had made.

It seemed everyone was very curious about who this mysterious rich second generation was who drove a panamera into the school.

Moreover, many people had seen Ye Shuangshuang get into that car yesterday.

So, they were all discussing in the comments whether this mysterious rich second generation and Ye Shuangshuang were in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.

Seeing that the timing was right, Lin Yi told Ye Shuangshuang to go into the forum and reply.

Ye Shuangshuang naturally understood what Lin Yi wanted to do.

Thus, Ye Shuangshuang used her main account to reply under that comment.

"You guys misunderstood. He and I are just friends."

"He just happened to have something to see me about yesterday."

"Besides, I'm not the type he likes."

Right after Ye Shuangshuang posted, Lin Yi impatiently asked below using his burner account.

"Then what type of girls does he like?"

A mischievous smile curled at the corner of Ye Shuangshuang's mouth as she pulled up Sun Xiaoxiao's photo on her phone.

Every freshman had their student ID photo taken at the start of the semester; Ye Shuangshuang had asked around and managed to get this girl's photo.

So, based on Sun Xiaoxiao's appearance, Ye Shuangshuang replied in the comments.

"This friend of mine likes girls with straight bangs and high ponytails, the kind with a more pure appearance."

"Not too tall, preferably around 165cm."

"And he likes girls who wear round-framed glasses; he thinks girls like that are the cutest."

Sure enough, in a certain dormitory on campus, Sun Xiaoxiao was following every move on the forum.

The moment she saw Lin Yi yesterday, she had been deeply attracted by that silver-white panamera.

One must know that the boyfriend she was currently dating only drove a Volkswagen CC.

For her, having just started university, someone who could afford a car was already considered a dragon among men.

That's why she had chosen to be with her current boyfriend without hesitation.

But after she had seen the panamera, she suddenly felt that a mere CC was nothing special.

She even felt that her boyfriend's broken Volkswagen seemed particularly low-class.

Sun Xiaoxiao still remembered that when she saw Lin Yi yesterday, he seemed to have even made eye contact with her.

That handsome appearance had also made her heart flutter a few more times.

Handsome and rich, and the gaze he directed at her was so gentle.

This kind of man was the Prince Charming of her dreams!

But there were too many classmates around Sun Xiaoxiao yesterday; if she had rashly gone up to ask Lin Yi for his contact information, it would have made her look very money-oriented.

Sun Xiaoxiao still valued her reputation.

After all, she would be spending four years of university life with her classmates day and night.

If her reputation collapsed, she feared she would be looked down upon by her classmates in the future.

However, she didn't expect to see someone post Lin Yi's photo on the school forum that very night.

And they were publicly asking for his contact information.

So Sun Xiaoxiao had been following this post.

If someone really posted Lin Yi's contact information, she would take the initiative without hesitation!
