Hiss!
Lin Baici gasped.
Nangong Shu held the phone with one hand, operated it a bit, and dialed the bartender’s number.
"Madam Boss!"
Lin Baici could hear the respectful greeting from the bartender over the phone.
"Closed for the day, inform the others."
The boss lady instructed.
"What’s up? Is there trouble? Need there?"
The bartender’s heart skipped a beat; could it be trouble or entertaining a VIP?
With the dawn auction approaching, the bar was packed every day, making insane profits.
You should know, this bar doesn’t just sell drinks; as the largest underground black market trading center in Asia, it sells everything.
"No need!"
The boss lady coldly refused.
Lin Baici watched her make the call without any intention to get off him, so he fidgeted a bit.
The boss lady imdiately glared at Lin Baici.
Lin Baici didn’t dare move, but instead, the boss lady herself started moving like a sailing boat on the ocean.
"..."
Lin Baici was impressed; Aunt Shu, you’re really bold!
The boss lady and the bartender chatted for five or six minutes, arranged the upcoming work, then threw the phone aside and hugged Lin Baici’s neck.
"How was Aunt Shu’s performance?"
"So-so!"
"Tch!"
The boss lady got up, standing with her left leg in high heels, her right knee on the sofa, supporting herself on the sofa with one hand, looking forward.
Lin Baici caught on instantly—even before he got busy, the phone rang.
"Who is it, calling you at this hour?"
Nangong Shu frowned.
"I don’t know!"
Lin Baici took out his phone, glanced at it—it was his longti friend, Li Wei!
But this guy was making a WeChat video call; in his current state, Lin Baici didn’t dare answer, so he had to hang up.
Just as he was about to call back, his friend called him again.
What a beautiful jasmine flower!
Lin Baici swiped to answer.
"Checking in, are you busy on so handiwork or what for hanging up on ?"
Li Wei’s voice was loud.
"Busy with your sister!"
No need for politeness with an old buddy.
"Hehe, with your looks, you must have had a girlfriend for ages, right? So, did you break the ice?"
Li Wei teased.
"What’s up?"
Lin Baici felt relieved; his buddy never contacted him at this ti, he thought there might be trouble. But now, hearing his friend cracking jokes, it must be so bored prank.
"Tsk tsk, changing the topic?"
Li Wei pressed on, "How’s your girlfriend? Send us a picture, will you?"
Lin Baici looked down at the boss lady whose hair he was holding with one hand.
It’s not that Lin Baici was ruthless, the boss lady liked it that way.
"Oh dear, I have too many girlfriends, don’t know whose picture to send!"
Lin Baici sighed.
"Keep bragging, with your temperant, unless girls throw themselves at you, how can you find a girlfriend?"
Li Wei scoffed, "I admit you’re handso, but you’re too broke!"
"Modern girls aren’t fools!"
"Did you call so early just to roast ?"
Lin Baici frowned, "Nothing else? I’ve got things to do!"
"Angry because I hit a nerve?"
Li Wei chuckled, "Alright, alright, not teasing you anymore. I’ve started morning runs lately, and you know, it’s working wonders!"
"I feel I’m eating more, sleeping well, and getting healthier."
"Why not give it a try? They say the morning is the best ti of the day, don’t waste it, get up and run!"
Li Wei was video calling just to see what Lin Baici was up to.
"I’m already on my morning exercise!"
No, should be all-night workout till now.
"Huh? Didn’t hear any exercise sounds?"
Li Wei was puzzled, "What are you practicing?"
"Horse riding!"
Lin Baici replied annoyed, "If there’s nothing, I’m hanging up!"
The boss lady, upon hearing this, playfully bumped into Lin Baici.
"Wait, are you going ho for Labor Day?"
This was the second reason Li Wei reached out to Lin Baici today.
"Not going!"
The dawn auction is on May 5th, and Lin Baici definitely didn’t have ti to go ho.
"I’m not going back either. I might find so work to do and earn a bit during Labor Day, or maybe study a little more, recharge myself. I plan to pass the Level 4 exam this year, and self-study so computer courses."
Li Wei started talking non-stop.
"Sounds good!"
If he hadn’t beco a God Hunter, Lin Baici would most likely have planned sothing similar. After all, the train tickets ho aren’t cheap, and staying there for just a few days isn’t worth it.
The landlady originally planned to wait for Lin Baici to finish his call, but since it seed endless, she decided to start on her own.
Lin Baici was startled and quickly held down the landlady’s waist.
"Hey, I was planning to find a girlfriend, but it seems hopeless..."
Li Wei sighed.
"Did sothing upset you?"
Lin Baici sensed that Li Wei was feeling down.
"It’s early morning, and there are couples jogging together. Doesn’t that make you upset?"
Li Wei felt miserable: "In our teacher training university, there are so few guys, why can’t I find a girlfriend?"
"Maybe your standards are too high?"
Lin Baici comforted: "Anyway, don’t worry, it’ll happen for sure!"
Li Wei still wanted to chat, but due to the situation on Lin Baici’s side, he could only make so perfunctory remarks and hang up.
"Don’t worry about , I’ll do it myself. You keep chatting!"
The landlady giggled.
"Do you believe I could video call my childhood friends right now?"
Lin Baici shot a glare at the landlady, thinking he couldn’t deal with her?
"Co on!"
The landlady gave Lin Baici a charming look: "As long as you’re willing, video call anyone you want, I can show up anyti."
"By the way, want to record so videos and post them online?"
The little guy thinks he can compete with ?
Lin Baici imdiately pleaded: "I was wrong!"
...
Ti in this busyness arrived at Labor Day.
So classmates went ho, others took advantage of the holiday to go shopping, while so seized every mont to study, striving to outdo others...
On the afternoon of May 4th, Lin Baici, Hua Yue Yu, Kim Myungjin, and Gu Qingqiu were invited by Xia Hongyao to her ho.
Ponytail planned to have everyone stay over for the night, and then the next day, go to the Haijing Art Cultural Center together.
The Dawn Auction will be held there at 7 PM tomorrow.
However, guests could start entering the venue by 5 PM.
Lin Baici and Xia Hongyao are Security Bureau personnel, and they’re quite famous. They also need to handle so reception duties, so they have to arrive earlier.
After dinner, Lin Baici was so annoyed by the chatter of all these won that he went to the balcony to check his phone.
Then his phone rang.
It was his childhood friend.
"Little Linzi, if I don’t contact you, won’t you reach out to ?"
Li Wei complained.
"Weren’t you going to work?"
"Don’t get started, got stood up!"
Li Wei was annoyed: "Co out and have fun tomorrow, we haven’t hung out in a while."
"I’m busy tomorrow!"
"Why are you busy every day?"
Just as Li Wei was about to complain, he noticed sothing off with the background in the video; this wasn’t the dorm: "Wait a minute, where are you?"
"At my senior’s house!"
"Oh wow, got sothing going on?"
Li chuckled: "You’re already visiting her ho? t the parents yet?"
"Don’t talk nonsense. She’s a senior who takes good care of !"
Just as Lin Baici finished speaking, Xia Hongyao’s voice ca from afar, getting closer.
"Little Linzi, what’re you doing? Co join us and play!"
Ponytail, being quite carefree, didn’t care about Lin Baici’s privacy. She directly leaned over on Lin Baici’s shoulder, looking at his phone’s screen: "Who is it? Your friend?"
"My childhood friend!"
Lin Baici explained.
Li Wei’s eyes flickered, seeing a pretty older sister leaning on Lin Baici.
Wow!
Those are so big bears!
"Hi, senior!"
Li Wei quickly greeted.
"Hello!"
Ponytail waved: "You chat first. Finish up quick and co over!"
Ponytail ca and went swiftly.
"Whoa, your senior is breathtakingly beautiful, right?"
Li Wei was shocked.
"How far have you guys gone?"
Because at ho, Xia Hongyao was dressed casually, in just a tank top, and thinking about Lin Baici being right there, made Li Wei envious.
"She’s really just my senior!"
Lin Baici felt a headache coming on.
"What about then?"
A female voice ca from behind Lin Baici: "Am I or am I not your girlfriend?"
