92: Chapter 92 Rear-end Collision with Li Runze
Lin Yi thought for a moment and said,
"I remember there's a newly opened restaurant on the pedestrian street in the university town that's quite good."
"How about this: I'll call a few of my roommates, and you call your roommates or friends, and we'll all go together."
"Lunch is on me today!"
"It just so happens that it's near the internet cafe, so we can head over there together after we eat!"
Since Jiang Xiaowan had proposed the idea of eating together, Lin Yi thought he might as well take this opportunity to generate some cashback first.
After listening, Jiang Xiaowan nodded in agreement.
"Okay, then wait for me. I'll send a message to my roommates, and then I need to go back to the dorm to get my cosplay props for this afternoon."
Lin Yi also nodded.
"Alright, I'll take my roommates and meet you at the entrance of your dorm in a bit."
The two of them were chatting back and forth, completely ignoring the presence of Guan Zhixue beside them.
"Lin Yi, what do you mean by this!"
"Explain yourself!"
Even now, Guan Zhixue still couldn't get her position straight.
She still thought Lin Yi was the same person from before who was devoted to her and whom she could boss around at will.
Lin Yi snorted.
"Explain? How much clearer do you want me to be?"
"Is there a problem with your comprehension, or was I not speaking Chinese just now?"
After saying that, he didn't wait for Guan Zhixue to react and left with Jiang Xiaowan.
Leaving Guan Zhixue alone, bewildered in the wind.
...
...
He Linwei and the others had originally already been queuing in the cafeteria.
Upon hearing that Lin Yi wanted to have lunch with Jiang Xiaowan and her dorm mates, the group immediately rushed back to the dorm at top speed to take a shower.
Jiang Xiaowan was the recognized campus belle of the Literature Department in the freshman group chat.
And the campus belle's roommates surely wouldn't be bad either.
Facing such an important occasion, the highest form of etiquette for guys is to take a shower before attending the feast!
It has to be said, guys really shower fast.
Just as Lin Yi walked from the teaching building to the dorm, the others had already finished showering and were blow-drying their hair.
He Linwei even flamboyantly sprayed some cologne.
Seeing Lin Yi return, the three of them were all smiles.
"Old Lin, you're something else! It's only been a few days, and you've already managed to organize a mixer between us and Jiang Xiaowan's dorm!"
"Oh Godfather, accept our bow!"
"Whether us brothers can get a girlfriend depends on today!"
Lin Yi hadn't originally thought that much about it.
He just simply thought that if there were more people, the consumption would be higher, so when paying the bill, he could spend more money and get more cashback.
...
After the group got ready, they headed out.
When they arrived downstairs at Jiang Xiaowan's dormitory building, they saw that Jiang Xiaowan and her roommates were already waiting at the entrance.
Under normal circumstances when dating girls, the girl is always the one who arrives late.
It was rare for Lin Yi to encounter a situation where the girls were on time.
"Lin Yi, you don't know, Xiaowan kept urging us to hurry up just now, saying it wouldn't be good to keep you waiting!"
Jiang Xiaowan's roommate mercilessly revealed the situation from just a moment ago.
"What, it's just not polite to keep someone waiting."
Jiang Xiaowan didn't hide it or act coy, a personality that Lin Yi highly appreciated.
Very straightforward.
Much better than those girls who are wishy-washy and expect the guy to guess everything.
"Lin Yi, aren't you going to introduce us?"
In front of the beauties, Hu Kai was a bit impatient.
Although they were all classmates, apart from class, they almost had no interaction at other times.
This is the difference between university and high school.
In high school, classmates in the same class were very familiar with each other.
But in university, it's basically based on the dormitory.
Classmates can only be seen during class.
Sometimes, if you pick different elective courses, you might not even see your own classmates.
Therefore, many people might not even recognize everyone in their class by the time they graduate from university.
Lin Yi finally realized this.
"Oh, oh, almost forgot."
"Let me introduce you, these three are my godsons."
"The one with the afro is He Linwei, the one wearing thick-rimmed glasses is Hu Kai, and the one with the buzz cut is Wu Jie."
Having been taken advantage of verbally by Lin Yi, He Linwei and the others didn't mind.
Jokes like this between guys are basically made every day.
Basically, they all have a relationship where they are each other's godfather.
Considering that Lin Yi organized this mixer today, they would let him be the godfather for the day.
Jiang Xiaowan then politely introduced her roommates.
Ruan Jingshu, who was nearly 1.7 meters tall; Liu Tingting, who was wearing a dress; and Zhao Xin, who looked like a good girl.
At this moment, Lin Yi suggested.
"I have a car, and it takes about ten to twenty minutes to drive to where we're eating."
"I'll take Xiaowan, and for the other girls, Old He, you guys can take a taxi and bring them over!"
After saying this, he winked at He Linwei and the others.
The group immediately understood, knowing this was an opportunity Lin Yi had specially created for them.
"Okay, I'll book a taxi right now!"
"Right, right, right, one car can't fit too many people, let's book three taxis!"
"I think that works!"
The three guys immediately started fawning, and soon they had booked the taxis on their phones.
The girls didn't mind either; seeing how proactive the guys were, they covered their mouths and smiled shyly.
And Lin Yi took Jiang Xiaowan and walked towards the parking lot.
...
Arriving at the parking lot, Lin Yi walked to the car, opened the door, and gentlemanly invited Jiang Xiaowan to get in.
"Wow, is this your car?"
Jiang Xiaowan looked at the panamera in front of her, appearing somewhat surprised.
As a small internet celebrity, Jiang Xiaowan's income was not low.
Some comic conventions were even willing to pay her a tens of thousands of yuan appearance fee to invite her to cosplay.
She had already saved over a hundred thousand yuan so far.
Among her peers, she could certainly be considered a little rich girl.
But now it seemed that her meager savings, compared to Lin Yi's, were somewhat insignificant.
The panamera had always been Jiang Xiaowan's dream car.
She had always planned to buy one herself once she saved enough money in the future.
She hadn't expected that today, this dream car would actually appear right in front of her!
"Xiaowan, do you have a driver's license?"
Lin Yi asked.
Jiang Xiaowan nodded silently.
"Do you want to try driving it?"
Seeing Jiang Xiaowan staring at the car with glowing eyes, Lin Yi asked, taking the opportunity to push things along.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaowan slowly turned her head back, looking embarrassed.
"Really... is that really okay?"
"Can I really drive it for a bit?"
"Would it be... not good..."
Seeing how eager Jiang Xiaowan was, Lin Yi decisively sat in the passenger seat.
"Don't be polite, give it a try!"
Seeing this, Jiang Xiaowan stopped declining, sat in the driver's seat, fastened her seat belt, and adjusted the seat and rearview mirror.
Then, with a press of the gas pedal, she drove out of the school.
"How is it? My driving skills are pretty good, right!"
Driving on the tree-lined boulevard at the school gate, Jiang Xiaowan turned her head proudly to show off to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi, however, was gripping the grab handle tightly with one hand while nervously pointing ahead with the other.
"Xiaowan, watch the road!"
"Brake!"
"Brake!"
Jiang Xiaowan finally reacted and hurriedly looked ahead.
The taillights of a gray Koenigsegg were getting closer and closer.
She slammed on the brakes, but couldn't avoid the rear-end collision.
With a "bang."
Jiang Xiaowan's heart sank half a beat.
At this moment, the Koenigsegg's door opened, and Li Runze, wearing a white shirt, stepped out of the car.
