Chapter 261: Chapter 261: Isn’t He a Boyfriend? (Part 3)
"Xiaoluo, you’re here!"
At this moment, a sixty-something old man wearing reading glasses walked up to Luo Susu and nodded at Lin Xi, Gong Yi, and the others.
"Professor Guo, I was held up by something earlier, so I arrived a bit late," Luo Susu explained somewhat sheepishly, as they were the latest ones to arrive.
Professor Guo waved her off, indicating it was no problem, since the exchange meeting hadn’t started yet.
He then proceeded to introduce Luo Susu to several important members of the meeting.
Now Lin Xi finally understood why the security personnel at the door stopped him. Apart from him and Luo Susu, everyone present was dressed formally.
That’s why he got stopped, but Luo Susu’s looks and charisma probably meant people wouldn’t dare disregard her regardless of what she wore, the perks of being campus beauty.
As people started catching up and chatting, Lin Xi didn’t know anyone except Luo Susu, so he found a corner, grabbed some fruit, and began casually browsing his phone on his own.
The latest post was from Yang Feifei, featuring a photo from their military training today with the caption, "Keep striving to build an iron-willed team!"
Lin Xi gave it a like and commented: "666666, Instructor Yang, I’m counting on you!"
In less than three seconds, Yang Feifei replied: "I’m counting on you too, let’s continue tomorrow!"
"..." Lin Xi felt a wave of unease on behalf of the two classes of guys.
The next three posts were from Peng Bo and his friends, showing their exhausted faces eating at the cafeteria: "Instructor Yang is lovesick, our leader must overcome it soon, or we’ll be lifeless like in the photo!"
Lin Xi ignored these posts and continued scrolling.
This post was from Zhu Ying, showing photos of her with Lin Yanxia over the past few days, with the caption, "Yan Xia is still so beautiful, and most importantly, she’s still single."
"Teacher Zhu, how about me? I don’t mind!" Lin Xi eagerly replied, thinking having the principal as a girlfriend wasn’t bad.
In less than a minute, Zhu Ying sent him an angry emoji in return.
Scrolling down further found mostly posts by Peng Bo’s group, nothing interesting, so he put away his phone as a boy who came in with them walked over.
"Hello, I’m Gong Yi, the Vice President of the Piano Association at Jiangnan University!" Gong Yi found a seat next to Lin Xi and sat down, extending his hand for a handshake.
"Nice to meet you!"
Lin Xi ignored him, got up to fetch a big plate of fruit, and sat back down without intending to shake Gong Yi’s hand, instead casting a curious glance at him, remembering he had heard of this person.
Noon today, the person who challenged him was indeed this Gong Yi.
Unexpectedly, they met here too, though Gong Yi didn’t recognize him.
Seeing Lin Xi ignoring him, Gong Yi was slightly embarrassed as it was the first time he had encountered such a situation, but he quickly recovered and continued,
"Do you know Susu well?"
Lin Xi still ignored him, but he didn’t mind and continued like a chatterbox,
"Let me tell you, I’ve been pursuing Susu for three years and she hasn’t spoken ten sentences to me, let alone what happened with you today!"
"Hey, buddy, are you Susu’s brother?"
"..." Lin Xi was stunned, curious, "Isn’t it her boyfriend?"
Upon hearing this, Gong Yi looked incredulous, then abruptly laughed and even patted Lin Xi on the shoulder,
"Buddy, I’ve joked about this nearly a hundred times, at least ninety-nine!"
