Lin Baici typed: Besides him, who else could cause such a fuss?
Dew at the Break of Dawn: So are you planning to go? I noticed you haven’t denied it in the group!
Lin Baici’s idea was to first see what his classmates wanted. If most were keen on it, he’d join in—going with the flow was fine.
He had just typed a few words when his EQ suddenly spiked. Quickly, Lin Baici deleted them and wrote sothing else.
Lin Xia Dai Yue Gui: I’m waiting for your opinion, you know!
Lin Xia Dai Yue Gui: I follow you blindly, just give the orders!
Dew at the Break of Dawn: Which charming fox’s lipstick did you swipe for that sweet talk?
Lin Baici sent a sticker showing him squeezing out tears in a piteous way.
Dew at the Break of Dawn: You can’t detach from the class too long; you need to keep showing up. Besides, I want to maintain a harmonious class atmosphere through a gathering!
Ji Xinyan enjoyed warmth and camaraderie. If everyone ford small cliques all to themselves, it wouldn’t be any fun.
Her thought was, you could have your separate adventures, but as long as Lin Baici, the big class leader, spoke up, everyone would rally around.
Lin Xia Dai Yue Gui: Then let’s go!
Ji Xinyan was quite savvy; she knew so classmates struggled with the Disneyland ticket expense. She was just about to conspire with Lin Baici on how to help without hurting their pride when she saw Lin Baici tag everyone.
Lin Xia Dai Yue Gui: @everyone, as your class leader, I should serve the class and everyone, but I’ve been absent since school started, and many tasks were left undone. Thanks to Pei Fei and Xinyan for handling them!
Lin Xia Dai Yue Gui: Really sorry!
Lin Xia Dai Yue Gui: To make up for it, I’m covering everyone’s Disneyland ticket cost this ti!
Tao Nai: Wow, class leader, you’re such a tycoon!
Xu Jiaqi: Freebie from the big leader? I’m suddenly feeling so blissful, what now?
Zhang Zhixu: Holy crap! Holy crap!
Tao Na and Xu Jiaqi had visited Lin Baici’s huge mansion before, knew about his wealth, but it’s a private secret. In the group, best to act oblivious.
Plus, Lin Baici’s act was truly generous!
No one, no matter how rich, has any obligation to spend on others.
Just like Xu Daguan, who does livestreams, reportedly earning tens of thousands a month but seems to be quite tight-fisted.
The group was abuzz, screens refreshed with cries of surprise, praises, and of course, a few silent lurkers.
Dew at the Break of Dawn: Leader, you don’t need to apologize; you owe us nothing!
Liu Zilu had longed to visit Disneyland, but when the chance arose, her first thought was actually for Lin Baici, voicing for him.
With Liu Zilu’s words, everyone realized, replying with reassurances, encouraging Lin Baici to enjoy himself.
Lin Xia Dai Yue Gui: Everyone quiet down, listen up!
Lin Xia Dai Yue Gui: The class operates very democratically, not a one-man show. Everyone agrees on a travel date, but if soone has a situation, send a private ssage!
Ji Xinyan read this ssage, raising a brow.
Lin Baici’s approach to handling things was impressive!
The so-called ’soone with a situation’ was a tactful way to say so might be shy, socially anxious, uninterested in group activities, avoid crowds.
Refusing might feel troubleso or awkward since it’s a collective event, yet Lin Baici ntioning it first and allowing individual private notice made them feel much more at ease.
Then there was the order of Lin Baici’s statents.
If he’d first said to discuss it, so classmates might not want to spend the money, choosing not to go, only then offering to cover ticket costs.
Anyone who’d said no before might not dare change their mind, as young people tend to mind their pride.
This way, they’d seem to be taking advantage of Lin Baici.
But by prematurely offering to cover the cost out of apology, unless soone truly didn’t want to go, most wouldn’t refuse.
Of course, the most important part, Lin Baici was genuinely generous; otherwise, gauging attendee numbers first, he could save a bit.
The morning passed cheerfully and smoothly.
After class, Lin Baici called over Hu Wenwu and Fang Mingyuan for a al, and Xu Daguan insisted on tagging along, with Zhang Zhixu and Chen Kaiwei joining too.
Seeing this, Lin Baici decided to invite all the lads out for dinner together.
In the cafeteria, Liu Zilu, having fetched her al, just sat down, eyeing the two ounces of cooked rice in her plate, she couldn’t help but grumble.
"Leader’s treating the boys to dinner, isn’t it a bit biased?"
Liu Zilu didn’t actually want the al, just more ti with Lin Baici.
"He’s treating the guys to a al, why are you trying to crash?"
Bai Jiao felt Liu Zilu shouldn’t be fault-finding.
"Uh..."
Liu Zilu was montarily speechless.
Couldn’t exactly say, Lin Baici should foster better relations with girls rather than boys?
That’s camaraderie between pals, what’s with girls?
"Moreover, dining with the boys is way too rowdy!"
She wouldn’t even ntion the drinking, smoking.
Thinking of Xu Daguan just irked her, plus Liu Yu, always sneaking peeks at girls’ chests and thighs, so primitive.
"Is your idea just dining with the leader alone?"
Tao Nai teased.
"Exactly!"
Bai Jiao replied, taking a sip of porridge.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
In the past, Bai Jiao would’ve remained silent, or launched a coback, yet this ti, she actually admitted it!
This was quite the change.
Still, going natural, shedding her reserved, holier-than-thou vibe, Bai Jiao had an undeniable charm.
