174 Friends (1/2)

When he came closer Tang Lin suddenly turned her head around. It was as if she had sensed something.

When her eyes fell upon him, they widened for a moment, before she regained her calm. She then waved towards him, telling him to come over and sit down beside her.

Under the weird stares of the other people in the lecture hall, he walked into their row and sat down beside her.

”Hey, I haven't seen you at a lecture before. How come you have come this time?”, she greeted him and directly started to ask him questions.

”Hey. The theme of the lecture seems interesting and it directly touches a problem I have.”, he greeted her back and explained. There wasn't any feeling of distance between them and they were able to easily act as if they were good friends.

Meanwhile, the two girls sitting beside Tang Lin looked at them curiously. When they started talking about why he was there and how the lecture may be able to help them, the one sitting in the middle didn't seem to be able to contain her curiosity anymore.

”Hey Lin, don't you want to introduce it?”, she asked scoldingly. But the light in her eyes, as well as her grin, made it clear that she wasn't really scolding her but instead enjoyed the situation. Especially when Lin blushed in embarrassment.

”Sorry, you know how I am.”, she apologized to her friends who just nodded. Whenever this girl started talking about something she was interested in with someone she was close to, then she would completely forget about her surroundings.

”This is Ivan. And these are Gala and Beth.”, she first introduced Ivan to them and then indicated the woman who was sitting beside her first. It seems like she was Gala while the other was Beth. Both of the girls looked very similar, with fiery red hair, that framed a beautiful aristocratic face. What was especially striking was their purple irises.

”Hoho, so this is your husband?”, Gala asked in a joking manner while taking a closer look at him. It seemed like Tang Lin had told them about him and their relationship.

”Not bad.”, she then continued while nodding. Although Ivan had no idea what she had seen, which had prompted her to make this statement.

”He certainly isn't bad looking.”, Beth to piped in.

”As you may have guessed, these two are my best friends although they can be troublesome sometimes.”, Lin ignored their statements and introduced them in more detail to him.

Seeing them joke around with each other like this, increased his curiosity, why nobody had dared to sit down in this row and even looked at him weirdly when he did do so. Even now most people in the hall looked at him as if he was an alien. It was as if they couldn't understand the fact that he was sitting here calmly while chatting with those three girls.

Since he didn't see any problem with asking them about this he just did so, ”How come everyone seems to evade you?”

Looking at him as if to check if he was seriously asking this, Gala and Beth grinned.

”You were right. He really is lacking common sense.”, Gala then told Lin while smiling even more.

At the same time, Ivan had the feeling as if she and Beth had just relaxed a bit more. He couldn't exactly pinpoint the source of it, since before he hadn't had the feeling that they were tense in any way.

”I told you so.”, Lin retorted while smiling happily. ”So do you want to tell him or should we keep it a secret?”, she then acted all conspiratory.

From everyone's way of acting it was clear that it wasn't a secret, but she still made it look like it. It was clear that she wanted to tease her friends. And her friends happily played along. They too acted as if it was an important decision to make.

Ivan looked at them fooling around and couldn't help but smile. It was always great to see friends getting along this well. Especially Gala's and Beth's lively personalities. He wondered whether he should introduce them to his friends. They together with Greg would most likely make an annoying but fun group.

When they finished joking around, Lin told Ivan in a serious voice, ”Well, you already know that my grandfather is the Grand Elder, so my status is high. Because of all these annoying flies who tried to get something from me, I adopted a cold and cruel image in public. Just ask anyone and they will tell you to keep your distance from me, or you will be regretting it.”
