Chapter 6: Chapter 6 Rewards for a Happy Baby
Although Han Xuewei tried to cover up, her outstanding beauty was recognized in an instant.
Necks stretched one after another, their gazes rolling continually over Lin Yi and Han Xuewei.
“Did you see it clearly? That is our goddess!”
“Who is that guy? How does he have such clout?”
“Support me, guys, my heart’s fatally shattered now that the goddess has a boyfriend.”
They were all very curious, when had the famed campus beauty of Xiangcheng University gotten a boyfriend?
At this moment, someone recognized Lin Yi.
“I remember now, that kid seems to be called Lin Yi!”
“Everyone still remembers Li Jingwen, right? The belle of the music department, she used to be this guy’s girlfriend.”
“To be honest, this kid could be considered a rich second generation too, but his family fell on hard times, and his father’s company is facing bankruptcy. Li Jingwen of course wasn’t willing to ‘hang from a single tree.'”
“After dumping him, she quickly found herself another boyfriend, also from a rich second generation.”
The people around pressed in, discussing fervently.
“Who would have thought this kid has some moves, just got dumped by the department belle and in a turn, hooked up with the campus goddess.”
“Not a whiff of it was in the air, yet they’re already out in the open.”
Han Xuewei’s face turned a slight red, ignoring the crowd’s chatter, she nervously came forward and took the late-night snack from Lin Yi’s hands.
Daringly rising on her tiptoes, she gave Lin Yi’s cheek a quick kiss, and said with a shy courage, “What others say is not important, I have set my heart on you anyway.”
“In my eyes, you are unparalleled.”
The surrounding people suddenly widened their eyes, scarcely believing what they saw.
They had thought that Lin Yi was quite the operator to have snagged the aloof campus goddess.
Looking at it now, it wasn’t quite like that; it should probably be the other way around.
What a rare spectacle indeed!
“Ding!”
“As the host has made the baby in his belly feel joy, a reward of 2 million has been granted. Congratulations to the host!”
At that moment, the system’s voice rang out in his mind.
Lin Yi’s eyes widened in surprise, well I’ll be, a single late-night snack had earned him a 2 million reward; wasn’t this way of making money a bit too easy?
“Ding dong!”
Without needing to check his phone, Lin Yi knew it was the 2 million just transferred into his account.
Ignoring the astonished gazes around him, he quickly stepped forward and embraced Han Xuewei in his arms, his expression filled with tenderness.
What other people say doesn’t matter; the most important thing is to protect his wife and children. In the long years to come, no one would be allowed to bully his wife and child, not even a little.
In an instant, a chorus of screams erupted around them.
Some even eagerly took out their phones, videos being recorded, photos being taken, busy as bees.
In just a few minutes, the story of the two spread across the internet.
“Down-and-out rich second generation welcomes his spring!”
“The aloof campus goddess shows tenderness too!”
“The daily happiness of the aloof campus goddess and her dorky boyfriend.”
Post after post spread rapidly online, instantly sparking a wave of followers. Below the videos, strings of text made brilliant comments.
The person who’s had too much lemon just can’t help but make snide remarks.
After Lin Yi and Han Xuewei parted ways, they each returned to their own dormitories.
In Lin Yi’s dorm, each of his roommates waited excitedly for his arrival.
The moment he opened the door, they surrounded him, with Wang Ziyi being the first to speak.
He just couldn’t wait to blurt out, “President Lin, I didn’t see it coming. You’ve nabbed the campus belle so effortlessly, you sly dog.”
“Spill the beans, when did it happen? Where? What did you guys do? Did you by any chance… ”
Yang Junchen leaned in a bit closer with a mischievous tone.
Lin Yi couldn’t be bothered with them, and went straight for the nearest chair, plopping down with ease, leaning back comfortably, and let out a deep sigh.
For him, today had too many events to count; he needed to take a moment to sort things out.
But how could his roommates let him off so easily? They continued to crowd around him, chattering nonstop with questions.
“Y’all don’t need to be so curious, nothing major happened between us, it’s just dating.”
Pressed by everyone’s questioning, Lin Yi finally said, somewhat impatiently.
The others perked up upon hearing this, the look of gossips etched onto their faces.
Han Xuewei, a rare beauty, the prettiest girl at Xiangcheng University, the goddess in everyone’s heart.
The guys in this dorm had long since fallen for Han Xuewei, and now seeing their goddess conquered by Lin Yi, they felt quite bittersweet.
“Well done, you snuck in without making a sound and cut off all our chances.”
“In the game of love, I’ve always considered myself quite the player, yet I didn’t even stand a chance. Han Xuewei, the aloof campus belle, and she ends up with you, kid.”
“My curiosity is killing me; what did you do, a forceful conquest?”
Everyone was abuzz with comments. However, what Lin Yi said next made all the guys unable to remain seated.
“My brothers, the wedding arrangements with Vivi are already on the schedule, and if nothing goes wrong, we’ll be getting our license soon. Once we’ve hammered out the details of the wedding, I want every single one of you as my groomsmen.”
What?
The rest of them were struck with astonishment. Wasn’t this moving a bit too fast?
After a while, Gao Li’an, the first to regain composure, asked incredulously, “For real? You’re not just shooting the breeze here, are you?”
“We haven’t even graduated yet. Getting married right after graduation, aren’t you rushing things?”
Lin Yi nodded earnestly and said, “I’d prefer to keep it low-key too, but it’s just not in my power. Our parents are already on their way here.”
“If all goes well, the arrangements for the marriage should be finalized during the winter break.”
Han Xuewei’s belly had already begun to show slightly, and it wouldn’t be long before hiding it would become impossible, let alone the fact that she was carrying triplets.
The marriage was now the most pressing matter. Before the child was born, he had to give Han Xuewei a legitimate status; this was the responsibility he must shoulder as a man.
He just didn’t know what Han Xuewei was thinking.
Whether she could accept getting the license first and then holding the wedding ceremony after the baby was born.
He also wondered what kind of choices Han Xuewei’s parents would make after finding out about the pregnancy.
All of this was beyond Lin Yi’s knowledge. He could only wait for the parents from both sides to meet and discuss the matter.
The other roommates didn’t take Lin Yi’s marriage seriously, thinking he was just talking big. Each of them readily agreed to be groomsmen.
They laughed and made a racket for a while, then went back to their own tasks.
They didn’t take the earlier conversation to heart at all, believing Lin Yi was just crazy about getting married.
