Chapter 26 – It’s You! (2/2)
I pushed off Tang Gu’s arm and said: “Glasses, why did you come?”
“C’mon, I’m also a freshman and, I’m also in the Chinese department. If not, how would I be living in the same dormitory as you?
Xiao Yao: “……”
Tang Gu looked at Ling Wan Er and then his voice began to tremble. His cheek blushed blossomed into a deep crimson and soon after he started to take disgusting deep breaths: “Miss Lin Wan Er, hello…… I am…… I am Li Xiao Yao roommate Tang Gu, it’s very nice to meet you.”
Lin Wan Er humbly smiled. Her eyes squinted into crescent moons: “Same to you……”
Tang Gu nearly choked on himself. Instead of responding, he hid behind his cellphone and then in a low voice he said: “Li Xiao Yao, you truly have good fortunes……”
I was astounded: “ What fortunes?”
“Keep pretending!” Tang Gu placed his cellphone in front of me and said: “Look! The university has a tradition where when freshmen enter the school, the school posts a list of the top 10 most beautiful women of the school!”
“Oh, the top 10……”
“That right……” Tang Gu wiped off his saliva and said: “The results are in. Lin Wan Er is ranked number 1 and Dong Cheng Yue came in second.The second year female student Xi Tu Xue went from first to third place. Furthermore, in fourth and fifth place respectively is Wang Ran and Liu Lu. They all got bumped down……”
The corner of my mouth twitched: “Useless……”
Lin Wan Er glanced: “Exactly, that’s useless……”
Woah, this was the first time she and I reached a same agreement.
Tang Gu lightly smiled and looks away. Suddenly, he turned back to me when he saw Liu Ying’s group: “Yo, Li Xiao Yao, are Lin Wan Er and Dong Cheng Yue your friends?”
I nodded: “Of course, what’s the problem?”
“Then get ready to protect them…..”
“What?”
“That guy, Liu Ying, do you known him?” Tang Gu lowered his voice, to the point where only I could hear him: “Liu Ying, crown prince of Feng Ling corporation is a third year university student. In two years that he joined Liu Hua university, he gained a reputation of being a queen killer. Last year, out of the top 10 most beautiful women, seven were rumored to have gone on Liu Ying’s bed……”
I was astounded, speechless to say how could this matter be permitted. My virgin self couldn’t accept this!
Beside me, Lin Wan Er dully said: “Men that are two timing are the most loathsome…..”
I turned around amazed, surprised to see that her hearing was very keen. Lin Wan Er’s beautiful face was also staring at me and with a charming smile: “Relax, I’m not going to drink or dance with that guy……”
I nodded: “Ahh, Ok….”
……
Soon afterwards, the host declared that the evening party had finally begun. And me? As soon as the food came out, me and Glasses devoured through the food. As if we had just gotten back from a hungry trip to South Africa. Soon, me and Glasses swept away everything. At the table were around 20 people. Although a couple of the guys started to chat with Lin Wan Er and Dong Cheng Yue, I kept on eating. Not my problem!
When I was only slightly full, a group of students from Economics Department surged toward us. These freshmen were obviously drunk with their cheeks bright red. Among these people, one tall individual respectfully asked: “All the student from the Economics Department are here, please don’t say no, ok?”
“How could I….”
Lin Wan Er stood up, holding a filled red wine glass and drank it in one gulp. Her cheek hadturned a slight pink when she finally sat back down. Afterwards, she shot a gaze at me, making me feel uncomfortable.
As people continuously arrived to give a toast, Lin Wan Er continued to drink glass after glass. She became somewhat languid, slumping in the chair. Tilting her head, she began to boldly stare at me, showing a complicated expression. But I did not dare to look at her in the face. I could tell that she was furious, furious at her father for sending a someone to monitor her. Furious at having her unrestricted life restricted. I knew this, but at the same time, I had no say in the matter.
“Wan Er, you’ve drank enough, shall we go back now?
I reached out and lightly grabbed Lin Wan Er very soft and tender wrist.
“Don’t touch me!”
Lin Wan Er furiously withdrew her hand, like a wounded beast. Beside me, Dong Cheng Yue seemed puzzled: “Wan Er, are you alright?”
Lin Wan Er looked at me: “I’m sorry, I….”
I didn’t speak. I only silently returned her gaze.
……
At the same time, another group came. Then, a very familiar voice floated through the air: “Miss Lin Wan Er, can I, Liu Ying be fortunate enough to invite you to a toast?
I got up abruptly, looking at Liu Ying and said: “ Wan Er has had too many already, let me replace her instead!”
“Who do you think you are?”
Liu Ying’seyebrows were raised, exerting his overbearingness. But as soon as he saw me, his eyes widened: “I knew you looked familiar, Xiao Yao Zi Zai!”
