68: Chapter 68 Having dinner with the school beauty

After closing the chat window with Su Ming, Lin Yi exchanged a few pleasantries with the three clowns in his dorm.

The group had created a chat group, and they were all very curious about what Lin Yi had been up to since he didn't return to the dorm this weekend.

Lin Yi: "I bought a luxurious villa. I'll invite you all over to hang out when I have time!"

Wu Jie: "Holy crap, for real?"

He Linwei: "Alright, Old Lin, we're all bros here, so stop putting on an act in front of us."

He Linwei: "Don't forget we have class tomorrow morning!"

Hu Kai: "By the way, Old Lin, Wu Jie and I reached the Diamond tier these past few days. When you're free, carry us, will you? Old He is such a scrub, he can't carry us anymore."

He Linwei: "Shut up. That's because you guys are too trash, okay? Look at your stats from the last game: 1-6-3. How the hell am I supposed to carry you?"

Hu Kai: "Did you even see how many times the enemy mid-laner ganked the bottom lane? And look at how many times you came!"

He Linwei: "Damn it, you guys were pushing the lane so deep, how was I supposed to gank?"

Watching the two of them bickering as usual, Lin Yi laughed and exited the chat window.

Then, Lin Yi saw that Guan Zhixue had sent him a message.

Guan Zhixue: "Are you there?"

Seeing this, Lin Yi rolled his eyes.

He guessed that perhaps after Li Tong's birthday party ended yesterday, some classmate had let the cat out of the bag, leading Guan Zhixue to realize she had missed out on an invisible billionaire.

Regretting it now?

Too late!

Everyone is an adult; you have to take responsibility for your own actions.

Lin Yi didn't want to deal with her at all, so he directly added Guan Zhixue to his blacklist.

At this moment, Ye Shuangshuang also sent a message.

Ye Shuangshuang: "Are you there?"

The same two words, but they gave Lin Yi a completely different feeling.

Lin Yi suddenly remembered that ever since he took Ye Shuangshuang for a ride last time, he hadn't really initiated contact with her.

He couldn't help it; there were too many bound targets around him, and he'd forget as soon as he got distracted.

"I'm here. What's up?"

Lin Yi typed back, wanting to see why Ye Shuangshuang was looking for him so late.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Ye Shuangshuang finally replied.

Ye Shuangshuang: "It's nothing now. Get some rest!"

Lin Yi scratched his head, not knowing what Ye Shuangshuang was up to.

Could it be that she was jealous because he hadn't reached out to her in a few days?

However, seeing that the system showed Ye Shuangshuang's favorability was still at 80 points, Lin Yi felt relieved.

Suddenly, his phone vibrated.

Lin Yi looked down and saw it was a call from Ye Shuangshuang.

Didn't she just say it was nothing? Why was she calling now?

Just as Lin Yi prepared to answer, the call hung up.

The ringtone had probably rung for less than three seconds.

Lin Yi suspiciously sent a message to Ye Shuangshuang.

"What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

After waiting for a minute, Ye Shuangshuang sent a voice message.

"Sorry, Lin Yi, I pressed the wrong button just now. It's nothing, really. Go to sleep early; we have class tomorrow."

This unusual behavior made Lin Yi feel like something was a bit off.

But he couldn't put his finger on exactly what it was.

"If you run into any trouble, you must tell me. If I can help, I definitely will."

Lin Yi thought about it and replied to Ye Shuangshuang like that.

This time, Ye Shuangshuang replied quickly.

"Lin Yi, thank you. Don't worry, I'm fine."

Seeing that Ye Shuangshuang said this, Lin Yi felt a bit more relieved.

After putting down his phone, he slept soundly until dawn.

...

...

The next morning, Lin Yi got ready and drove to school.

Arriving at school, he parked his car, walked into the cafeteria to buy breakfast, and then rushed to the classroom.

There were two classes this morning, and He Linwei thoughtfully brought the textbooks for Lin Yi.

The four of them sat in the last row of the classroom, using the textbooks as a shield, and played on their phones all morning.

By the time class was about to end at noon, their phones were almost out of battery.

As the bell rang, the four of them rushed out of the classroom like four hungry wolves, bolting toward the cafeteria.

They had no choice; everyone got out of class at this time. If they were even a minute late, they might have to wait in line at the cafeteria for an extra twenty minutes.

Fortunately, the four of them ran fast, passing group after group of students who had just finished class along the way.

When they arrived at the cafeteria, it wasn't too crowded yet.

While they were waiting in line, they saw a sudden commotion at the cafeteria entrance.

"Is that Su Ming?"

"It's her!"

"I haven't seen Goddess Su for a whole summer; I've missed her like crazy."

"She's a senior this year and will be going to internship in the second semester. You'll only be able to see her for another half a year at most."

"Oh my god... what a cruel piece of news..."

Su Ming walked in through the cafeteria entrance.

Facing the students' whispers, Su Ming seemed accustomed to it.

At this moment, the cafeteria was gradually getting crowded, so Lin Yi hurriedly waved at Su Ming.

"Senior, over here!"

Hearing a familiar voice, Su Ming looked over instinctively and saw Lin Yi signaling for her to come join his line.

Looking at the dense crowd in the cafeteria, Su Ming thought for a moment and walked toward Lin Yi.

"What a coincidence."

Su Ming smiled sweetly, her eyes curving into beautiful little crescents.

He Linwei, Hu Kai, and Wu Jie couldn't help but hold their breath.

"Beautiful... so beautiful..."

"Old Lin, do you know Chairwoman Su?"

Su Ming was the chairwoman of the Student Union and could be considered a prominent figure at the school.

Before school started, He Linwei and the others had heard people discussing Su Ming in the freshman group chat.

They had also seen photos of this legendary 'second school beauty' on the school forum.

They didn't expect to meet her in person today.

However, why did it feel like Su Ming and Lin Yi were very familiar with each other?

The Student Union hadn't even started recruiting yet; how did Lin Yi get hooked up with Su Ming?

Lin Yi nodded calmly.

"I happened to have a meal with Senior Su the day before yesterday."

Both of them had been invited to Li Tong's birthday party; that should count as a coincidence, right?

But when He Linwei and the others heard this, they displayed exaggerated expressions of disbelief.

"Holy crap, Old Lin, you actually ate with the school beauty?"

"Why haven't I ever encountered such a good thing!"

While they were talking, they had all finished getting their food and found an empty table to sit down.

Su Ming also followed and walked to Lin Yi's side.

Lin Yi turned his head to look at Su Ming.

"Senior, are you eating with us?"

Su Ming was a bit confused.

"Why, is it inconvenient?"

Before Lin Yi could answer, He Linwei and the others spoke up first.

"Convenient, convenient, it's super convenient! It's our honor to eat with the school beauty!"

As they spoke, they consciously made space for Su Ming.

Lin Yi also moved to the side.

"Senior, I thought you would be eating with your roommates or best friends."

Su Ming put down her tray and sat next to Lin Yi.

"I'm a bit of a loner; I don't have many friends."

That was indeed the truth.

It was mainly because Su Ming had too much of an aura; any girl standing next to her would be overshadowed.

So, over time, no girls were willing to get too close to Su Ming.
