Chapter 339: Chapter 339 Why should I pay for your date?
 

(Third Update)

When Luo Ziling returned to the dormitory, the other three guys were all present.

Besides the other three guys, a few classmates from the next dorm had also gathered to join the commotion.

He didn’t know what they were chatting about, but they seemed to be having a heated discussion.

As soon as Luo Ziling pushed the door open, all the voices came to an abrupt halt.

After two seconds of silence, Cao Jianhui rushed up to him, grabbed Luo Ziling, “They all want to know who the goddess who came looking for you today is.”

“Ziling, who is that beautiful woman?” a tall and burly classmate from the next dorm asked curiously, “Is she your girlfriend? She’s so beautiful, truly a heavenly sight!”

“My future wife, happy now?” Luo Ziling replied irritably, pulling a classmate off his bed and sitting down himself.

“Really your wife?” No one believed Luo Ziling when he said this, and the classmate who just asked was also wearing a puzzled face.

“Believe it or not, whatever,” Luo Ziling didn’t care, and with a plop, he lay down on the bed, “Alright, everyone go back to sleep, I’m really tired.”

“Let’s go, let’s go, everyone go back to sleep. We have class tomorrow,” Cao Jianhui started to shoo people away.

Seeing Luo Ziling’s reluctance to talk about what happened today, the other classmates who had come for the excitement eventually left lacklusterly.

After the next-door classmates left, Cao Jianhui moved closer and whispered, “Boss, did you go out for dinner with the goddess tonight? Goddess Ouyang or Goddess Yang?”

“If you gossip any more, I won’t sign up for the welcome party,” Luo Ziling threatened fiercely.

Cao Jianhui, who was frowning over the welcome party’s acts, immediately backed down and chuckled, “Alright then, I won’t ask.”

Since the students didn’t know each other very well, Cao Jianhui had no idea which of his classmates had artistic talents. He intended to submit several top-notch acts in order to avoid getting rejected. Therefore, he had set a requirement for interested classmates, insisting the performance must be of high quality.

His requirement scared off some of the classmates who wanted to give it a try.

As a result, they hadn’t yet filled the slots for three acts, which was giving him a headache.

Luo Ziling’s martial arts demonstration was already counted as one act, and if Luo Ziling got angry and didn’t show up, Cao Jianhui would be driven crazy.

In the end, Cao Jianhui laughed teasingly, “Boss, you must prepare well. Show us, and let Miss He see. Aim to astonish everyone.”

“Boss, aim to make a big splash at the welcome party. Then we can get all the female classmates to present you with flowers,” Li Fuming, who had climbed to the upper bunk, stuck his head down and said with a sleazy smile, “That way you’re sure to become the White Horse Prince in the hearts of all the female students. They’re bound to come looking for you in our dorm, and we could bask in your glory too.”

“Yeah, yeah,” Wu Longjiang also stuck his head down, saying happily, “By then, our dorm will become a legend at Yan University, with beauties coming and going non-stop, haha!”

“You two, trying to fish in troubled waters, huh,” Cao Jianhui kicked the bed plank above him, “If you want the Boss to help you with your blessed affairs, dream on. If you want his help, you should buy his breakfast every day, and pick up one for me on the way too.”

Cao Jianhui’s words immediately provoked collective wails from the two guys, their heads retracting back up.

Luo Ziling actually liked this noisy and joking atmosphere among his classmates. Listening to the three guys talk nonsense without a filter, his mood became cheerful too. “Tell me, are you guys here to study or find wives at school?”

“While studying, might as well settle the matter of a lifetime. Killing two birds with one stone, why wouldn’t we do it?” Li Fuming stuck his head down again.

Wu Longjiang’s head emerged once more, indignantly saying, “Yeah, yeah, Boss, don’t be the satiated man who doesn’t know the starving man’s plight. Do you realize how angry your behavior makes people? Look at all the top-quality resources you’re hogging. Can’t you share a bit?”

“You think this is bike-sharing? Talking about resource sharing,” Cao Jianhui kicked the bed frame again and commanded, “All right, it’s bedtime. Lights out and sleep.”

The two guys on the top bunk chuckled and then fell silent, each taking out their smartphones and starting to play.

Luo Ziling also took out his phone.

He was surprised to see several messages from Ouyang Feifei and immediately opened them.

“You should seriously consider my proposal from today, it might change your life.”

“If you’re willing to cooperate, just the patent and product sales income would be enough for you to live a worry-free life. The pharmaceutical industry is much larger than everyone thinks.”

“I’ll talk to your mom about it tomorrow morning. If you have time, let’s meet in the evening.”

“We’ll get in touch tomorrow then,” Luo Ziling replied, slightly persuaded by Ouyang Feifei, and tapped a reply with his fingers.

If Ouyang Feifei hadn’t brought up Ling Ruonan, he might not have been interested.

But if Ling Ruonan supported the cooperation, why would he refuse?

“Okay!” Ouyang Feifei replied with just one word, creating a stark contrast with the many words she had sent before.

Luo Ziling noticed that Ouyang Huihui had also sent him a message.

“My sister actually came to school to see you?”

“Do you know that the thing between you and my sister has been all over the forums?” This message was followed by several eye-rolling emojis.

“How’s your injury?”

“To think you ignored me when I came to see you today, really pissed me off. But considering you’re injured, I’ll let it slide. I promised to treat you to a big meal, when are you free? Maybe tomorrow?” This message was also followed by a series of emojis.

After thinking for a moment, Luo Ziling quickly replied, “Your sister asked to discuss something with me tomorrow, how about treating the two of us to a big meal?”

“No way.” Ouyang Huihui added a few angry emojis.

Then another message arrived instantly, “Why should I pay if you two are going on a date?”

“Then I’m not free these two days.”

After a short wait, Ouyang Huihui sent another message, “What about tomorrow at noon?”

After thinking for a bit, Luo Ziling replied, “I should be free tomorrow at noon.”

When Luo Ziling broke up with Yang Qingyin today, he said his body was essentially fine and he wouldn’t trouble Ye Xiaoli to buy food for them; he would go to the cafeteria to eat. In the end, Yang Qingyin didn’t refuse his suggestion and agreed. She also knew it was a hassle to eat at Ye Xiaoli’s place, and she wanted to run some errands with Ye Xiaoli, so she agreed to what Luo Ziling said.

Seeing Luo Ziling agree to have lunch with her the next day made Ouyang Huihui feel slightly less gloomy.

“Luo Ziling, how are you and Yang Qingyin doing now?” Ouyang Huihui sent another message.

Following that was another message, “The Yang Family treats you like this, wanting to put you in grave danger, how can you not give up?”

Luo Ziling didn’t know how to reply.
