Chapter 2111: Chapter 942: High School Classmates Group!
“Auntie, have so water!”
Lin Baici poured Zhou Yufen a cup of tea and then went back to his room.
Li Guiru wasn’t one to brag, so when she noticed Zhou Yufen glancing at her golden bracelet, she felt a bit embarrassed and wanted to cover it, but in the sumr, at ho, Li Guiru was wearing short sleeves, and there was nothing to cover.
“Wow, what a big bracelet! Did Little Ci buy this for you?”
Zhou Yufen couldn’t hide her thoughts and directly asked.
“Yes!”
Li Guiru couldn’t deny the pride in her heart!
“He’s only a freshman, and he’s already earning money?”
Zhou Yufen was surprised, “Are today’s college students all this impressive?”
“He works part-ti for a classmate!”
Li Guiru wasn’t clear about the job Lin Baici was doing, and even if Lin Baici explained it himself, Zhou Yufen probably wouldn’t understand it due to her lack of knowledge.
“Making money is important, but it shouldn’t interfere with his studies!”
Zhou Yufen complinted, “But your Little Ci, he’s never made you worry since he was little, unlike mine, who gives such a headache!”
“Sit down and let’s talk. Are you planning to have Little Ci tutor Little Dragon?”
Li Guiru knew Tang Chenglong had failed the entrance exam because not long ago, Zhou Yufen had given Tang Chenglong a harsh scolding.
“Sigh, I’m torn. If he repeats another year and still doesn’t pass, it’s a waste of ti. He might as well go out and work!”
Zhou Yufen sighed and sat on the sofa.
A year could earn several ten thousand yuan, but hearing that Lin Baici was already earning money as a freshman and could even buy Li Guiru such an expensive golden bracelet made her reconsider.
Maybe…
I should let my son repeat the year?
After all, a college graduate should earn more.
But public schools don’t accept repeat students anymore; you’d have to go private, which costs a lot of money.
“Little Dragon is only 18, what kind of work can he do?”
Li Guiru thought he should still go to college, even a vocational one, or learn a skill.
The conversation between the two housewives inevitably revolved around their children’s studies, future jobs, and the trivial matters of daily life.
While chatting, Zhou Yufen glanced again at Li Guiru’s bracelet.
“It’s so thick; it must be heavy to wear, right?”
Zhou Yufen was curious, “Feels like what ancient prisoners used to wear!”
“It is a bit heavy, but you get used to it!”
Li Guiru noticed Zhou Yufen wanting to play with it but was too shy to ask, so she took the bracelet off and handed it to her neighbor.
Zhou Yufen wiped her hands on her pants before accepting the bracelet.
Even under the energy-saving lamp, the bracelet shone brilliantly.
Truly beautiful!
Zhou Yufen was envious. In her lifeti, she doubted she could afford such a thick golden bracelet, let alone a gold ring.
No, not that she can’t afford it, but there are always so many expenses at ho, especially for the children’s weddings, which require a large amount of money. How can one not save?
…
In the bedroom, Lin Baici was scrolling through Douyin, searching for new hos in Guangqing City.
Many agents were discussing the pros and cons of various real estates.
To be honest, Lin Baici didn’t understand any of this, but he had a standard: the most expensive is likely the best.
There used to be no money, no daring to dream, but now with an annual inco of over a hundred million, he could buy anything.
Of course, such houses certainly have a premium, aren’t cost-effective, but the issue is, Lin Baici doesn’t care about cost-effectiveness; he just wants comfort and convenience.
Lin Baici wanted to buy a villa, but such developnts were all outside the third ring, while those inside the second ring were second-hand.
There were apartnts with elevators available, though!
It’s the hottest property in Guangqing right now, called Yongsheng Mansion, located between the outer and second rings, adjacent to Construction Street, near Wanda Plaza, and next to the Provincial People’s Hospital.
The average price is twenty-five thousand yuan per square ter.
Lin Baici planned to have his mom take a day off to go and see it with her.
After marking it, Lin Baici prepared to search for the next property’s information when his phone rang—it’s a video call from Li Wei.
He tapped to answer.
“Xiaobai, Xu Chenyang is talking in the group again about gathering, starting to count the numbers and booking a box. Are you going?”
Li Wei was cooling off under a tree in the neighborhood.
Because he couldn’t bear to use the air conditioning.
“Do you want to go?”
Lin Baici asked back.
“Let’s go for a look!”
Li Wei has always been a bit of a wallflower in class, but now that he’s finally made it to Haijing Normal University, he wants to show off a little; of course, he wants to attend the class reunion.
Young people, who doesn’t have a bit of vanity!
“Let’s go together, we’re idle anyway!”
Li Wei wanted to bring Lin Baici along; otherwise, he’d feel awkward on his own.
“What’s the point?”
Lin Baici didn’t want to go; he felt he had matured and that these gatherings were too childish.
“To watch Xu Chenyang get rejected by Zhao Xiyuan!”
Li Wei laughed loudly, “He’ll definitely bite the dust; you’d regret missing this good show.”
“Childish!”
Lin Baici glared at Li Wei; what’s there to regret?
If I missed a divine feast, that I’d regret.
“Co on, let’s go together!”
Li Wei pleaded, “Just accompany !”
“Not going!”
Lin Baici refused, “A teenager getting rejected, what’s so entertaining about that?”
“These are the marks of youth, okay!”
Lin Baici and Xu Chenyang are just acquaintances; mainly because Xu Chenyang is jealous that Lin Baici is handso and gets good grades. If only he had money, he would truly be the campus heartthrob.
“Alright, alright, I’ll admit I’m shallow, okay?”
After saying that, Li Wei shouted again, “Look at the group chat, Xu Chenyang is @ you, inviting you to a gathering!”
“What’s this? That guy wants to embarrass at the dinner table?”
Lin Baici frowned.
“No!”
Li Wei chuckled, “It’s Zhao Xiyuan @ you, asking if you’re going. She says she has an aunt who’s a professor at Haijing Polytechnic!”
Lin Baici raised an eyebrow, what does that an?
Zhao Xiyuan wants to introduce her aunt to him?
“Little Bai, let be practical, soone like Zhao Xiyuan is definitely going to do well in the future, you better take the initiative to maintain the relationship!”
Haijing Polytechnic is a prestigious school, which is the real reason Zhao Xiyuan is interested in Lin Baici, not just his looks.
“I’ll hang up first, let check the group chat!”
Lin Baici hung up the video call, and from the folded WeChat group list, he found the high school class group.
Scrolling up through the ssages, Lin Baici quickly saw the line where Zhao Xiyuan @ him.
Xu Chenyang: @Lin Baici, you’re way too aloof, aren’t you?
Xu Chenyang: Our class beauty is talking to you, and you don’t even respond, is this playing hard to get? Or now that you’ve gone to Haijing Polytechnic, you look down on us ordinary university students?
To be honest, Xu Chenyang is quite cunning.
In one sentence, he isolated Lin Baici, causing his reputation among their mates to plumt.
Lin Baici: @Xu Chenyang, I’m so busy I can’t even grab a drink of water.
Lin Baici: A college mate of mine is starting a business, I’m working for her, writing code every day!
Zhao Lei: You’re already doing part-ti jobs?
Following that was a shocked emoji.
Wei Haolun: Damn, as expected from a coder, making money in the first year of college.
Zou Ming: Haha, doesn’t that an you’ll start balding soon?
Zou Ming: Just thinking about how you, such a handso guy, will one day sport a receding hairline makes anticipate it.
Zhao Xiyuan: @Lin Baici, how’s the atmosphere at Haijing Polytechnic? Is it intense?
Lin Baici: It’s okay, I guess?
Lin Baici thought to himself, how would I know?
I’ve been skipping classes and haven’t been to school much!
Xu Chenyang: @Lin Baici, stop with the nonsense, let’s get together.
Xu Chenyang: We’re all adults now, can’t we approach life with an adult mindset and attitude?
Lin Baici: If I go, you won’t even have a chance to court Xiyuan.
Zhao Lei: Wow!
Wei Haolun: ???
Zou Ming: Little Bai, are you really that aggressive?
In the group, quite a few silent mbers were stirred up by Lin Baici’s words.
In high school, in everyone’s eyes, Lin Baici was the image of a humble, honest hard-working student, and his athletic scores were great as well.
Every sports event, 3000m, 2000m, 1000m, no one wanted to sign up because they were too tiring, those were all Lin Baici’s races, and he never refused, always managing to take first place.
Lin Baici ca across as harmless, shy and gentle, but now, he actually said that!
Cao Ping: From what you’re saying, are you trying to court Xiyuan?
Lin Baici: It’s a case of being destined but not ant to be, if Xiyuan had shown a bit of affection for earlier, I would’ve definitely applied to a university in Beijing.
Lin Baici: Long-distance relationships mostly don’t work out!
Lin Baici: And having a girlfriend like Xiyuan, to be honest, is quite stressful, after all, too many people like her.
Many students didn’t understand the value in what Lin Baici said, but for early-wise girls like Zhao Xiyuan, they understood imdiately.
Actually, Lin Baici wasn’t interested in her, but he wrapped it up nicely, praising her while responding to Cao Ping’s question.
Xu Chenyang: You’re such a facade, you fooled us all through three years of high school, no way, you must co to this gathering, face the music with three drinks.
Lin Baici: I’ve grown through all the trials in the first year of college.
Xu Chenyang: Xiyuan has spoken, make sure this guy cos.
Zhao Xiyuan usually doesn’t engage in such conversations, but she also knows if she doesn’t speak up, the chances of seeing Lin Baici again in this lifeti are scarce.
For a handso high school mate from a prestigious university, it would be a pity to lose contact.
Zhao Xiyuan: It’s just a al, surely you can spare the ti?
Xu Chenyang’s heart skipped a beat when he saw this.
Earlier, Zhao Xiyuan said she wasn’t sure about coming, but now, it’s clear she’s saying if Lin Baici goes, she will definitely go too.
Damn!
And you say you two are innocent?
Li Wei quickly sent a private ssage to Lin Baici: If you get Xiyuan’s first kiss in front of Xu Chenyang, it’ll drive him mad!
“Nonsense!”
After replying to Li Wei, Lin Baici thought for a mont and decided to go!
Consider it fulfilling a childhood friend’s dream.
Lin Baici: If I refuse again, it would seem unfriendly.
Lin Baici: Thank you for rembering !
Lin Baici: I’ll get back to work first, and free up the ti!
Lin Baici closed the group chat, ready to continue his house hunt, when he heard a quarrel in the hallway.
Hmm!
The sound was coming from upstairs.
Zhou Yufen loves a bit of excitent, and when she went out for a look, she saw two police officers.
“What’s going on? Why are the police here?”
Zhou Yufen was startled.
Lin Baici, wearing slippers, strolled out.
