Chapter 167 Even Professors Confess (13)

The group of people behind him, baring their teeth and shouting that they would make the man lose a lot of money, chased each other up the stairs.

Lin Shen looked speechlessly at the group of people fooling around, but a carefree smile played on his lips.

He put his hands in his pockets and nudged the man next to him who was staring at his phone with his shoulder: "What's wrong? Your sweetheart didn't come and you received flowers from a young heartthrob. Aren't you happy?"

"Young and handsome guys know how to act cute, show weakness, and make young girls feel sorry for them. You can give it a try."

Xi Huai glanced at him with a smile, his Adam's apple bobbing: "Besides, you're paying tonight."

Lin Shen laughed in exasperation and bumped into Xi Huai again, but Xi Huai easily dodged it, causing Lin Shen to stumble.

Xi Huai glanced at him with a half-smile, chuckled lightly without any politeness, and walked towards the hotel.

Lin Shen shook his head helplessly, unable to stop smiling. He put his hands in his pockets and strode up the steps, quickly joining the man on the way.

Yu Ci is very lucky today.

The sky over the capital had completely darkened. The bustling night scene was dazzling and intoxicating. The intermittent voices of pedestrians drifted in through the car window. As if sensing something, Yu Ci glanced out the window.

A woman in a black hoodie came into view.

A petite figure was buying something at the entrance of the pharmacy, her expression showing unease, shyness, and restraint. She unconsciously covered her mouth with her hand when she spoke, appearing very cautious.

Yu Ci watched for a while, then honked the horn as the woman walked out of the pharmacy.

I didn't look at her.

Yu Ci got out of the car and chased after him.

"Changle?"

The sudden call startled Bai Changle for a moment, and he subconsciously turned around and met the woman's smiling eyes.

She pushed up her glasses: "Huh?"

Yu Ci smiled faintly and glanced at the bag containing Huoxiang Zhengqi Water in the girl's hand: "Hmm? Where are you going? I'll give you a ride."

Chang Le, who was socially awkward, had no chance of getting on the bus. She forced a smile awkwardly, but before she could say anything to refuse, Yu Ci, who was very familiar with her, took her hand and said, "Let's go, I'm going to the Xumi Hotel for dinner. I'll give you a ride, whether it's on my way or not."

The female lead was definitely going to the hotel to find the male lead; it was 100% on her way.

The already somewhat stiff figure stiffened even more. Chang Le pursed her lips and whispered, "No, it's not necessary. I..."

"Let's go." Yu Ci half-dragged and half-coaxed, "How about this as repayment for reminding me of something in class?"

Unexpectedly, the woman still remembered. Chang Le pursed her lips, still somewhat shy and reluctant to get on the bus.

Yu Ci could see that she was trying to escape. People are most afraid of people from other countries. You know, you all know.

Without saying a word, he shoved the person into the passenger seat, fastened their seatbelt, and Yu Ci quickly started the car.

In the original story, both the male and female protagonists were not well-off at this time. The female protagonist felt sorry for the male protagonist, who was drinking so much while running around for business partnerships that he suffered from stomach bleeding. So she would personally pick him up from school every time.

Let's walk there.

save money.

If Yu Ci hadn't run into her, that would have been fine, but since she did, it's impossible for her to make the female lead go so far to pick her up.

The woman's unease was palpable in the car; her taciturn nature was on full display at that moment.

Feeling that the woman was about to jump out of the car if she didn't say something soon, Yu Ci smiled faintly and said, "You're going to the Sumeru Hotel too? What a coincidence."

Chang Le pursed her lips and said, "Mm."

Yu Ci: "Was the person who accompanied you to class that day your boyfriend?"

Chang Le pursed her lips: "Yes."

Yu Ci: "They look so well-matched, it's wonderful."

Chang Le whispered, "Yes. He is indeed very good." That was the last thing she said.

There was a response, but not much.

Soothing music was playing in the car, and Yu-Tzu took the lead in the conversation, which made it quite interesting.

Chang Le, who was clearly warm and kind, also relaxed a little.

She was a good listener, and as the woman told her interesting stories, a fleeting smile gradually appeared on her lips. She could even occasionally chime in after the woman.

The two got along exceptionally well.

At that time, Ji had already been plied with alcohol inside the hotel.

The waiters kept bringing out more and more delicacies to the table.

The middle-aged man over there was flushed, clearly completely drunk. He was clinging to a woman beside him, laughing hysterically, completely oblivious to the other people present.

Ji Ye, having taken off his coat, leaned back lazily, his white shirt collar slightly open, revealing his collarbone. After a round of drinks, his handsome face was also slightly flushed.

He pursed his thin lips, a slight smile appearing on his face when he saw the message from the girl on his phone. He swiped his finger to exit the chat, and a photo of the two of them appeared on the phone screen.

"..." Ji Ye lowered his eyes and smiled mischievously, his fingertips repeatedly tracing the woman's figure. After a while, he neatly turned off his phone and got up.

"Mr. Li."

Another full glass, Ji Ye raised his glass in a gesture of respect, "Let me toast you again."

……

Next door, the monkeys, representing the foodies, also had their turn to eat.

Having finally eliminated one of their biggest threats, the group felt extremely relieved and wished they could make up for all the pent-up frustration of the past few years by indulging in a delicious meal.

After several rounds of drinks, none of them were drunk.

Lin Shen crossed his legs, a cigarette dangling from his lips, and blew out a wisp of smoke that blurred Tao Hua's wicked eyes.

He glanced at the man beside him, whose white shirt collar was slightly open and who looked languid and nonchalant, chuckled, and handed him a cigarette: "Have one."

Ordinary men don't smoke, but at this moment, Lin Shen bet he would.

The cigarette was taken by a long, slender hand and held to his thin lips. Xi Huai lowered his eyes slightly, his gold-rimmed glasses half-perched on his straight nose. Lin Shen smiled and lit the cigarette for him.

Smoke swirled around him as he breathed, and Xi Huai leaned lazily against the chair.

His Adam's apple bobbed, and the veins on his arms, with their sleeves half-rolled up, stretched out. He held a cigarette between his fingers, and his dark hair was casually lifted by a large hand as he leaned back slightly.

So incredibly sexy.

Lin Shen clicked his tongue in amazement: "Is the person you're in love with not being a man?"

Xi Huai glanced at him with a half-smile: "So you really want to pay the bill?"

"No, I'm saving my money to get married," Lin Shen said with a smile, taking a deep drag on his cigarette.

He leaned forward, a mysterious look on his face, "Tsk, let me see a picture of your sweetheart. I'll help you figure out which deity she is."

Xi Huai pushed aside the hooligan-like man with one hand, his eyes languid. "No photos."

Lin Shen looked incredulous, while Xi Huai laughed: "It's in my head, why don't you open it and take a look?"

The monkey, Fatty, and Yang Wen were still showing off their food. For some reason, Fatty and the monkey started chasing each other around the private room over a hairy crab.

Lin Shen leaned back in his chair and chuckled softly, "I heard you say something earlier, 'Oh, young heartthrob.' What, do you feel old?"

Xi Huai chuckled, said nothing, and just kept smoking.

The fat man was eventually caught by the monkey, and the two fought tooth and nail for it by the windowsill.

Annoyed to no end, the fat man had a sudden inspiration and pointed out the window: "Look! A beautiful woman!"
