Chapter 429: 429 Something seems to have gone wrong
After dinner, the two of them went to watch a movie together.
This time, they didn’t run into any acquaintances at the movies, so they didn’t have to worry about anything.
On the way back to school, holding hands after the movie, all the previous frustrations and unhappiness had vanished without a trace.
In Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin’s hearts, their feelings for each other had returned to how they were before.
After escorting Yang Qingyin to her apartment building, Luo Ziling went straight back to his own dormitory room.
When he got back to his room, he was shocked by the scene inside.
It was packed with people, both male and female, many of whom were classmates, and some he didn’t recognize from other classes.
“What’s going on?” Seeing Cao Jianhui come up to him, Luo Ziling asked curiously, “Why are there so many people today?”
“Boss, they’re all your fans,” Cao Jianhui pointed to the dozen or so boys and girls in the dormitory, saying excitedly, “They wanted to see what you look like, and some even want to become your apprentices. You should definitely agree, there are opportunities for ‘unwritten rules’ here!”
A girl Luo Ziling didn’t recognize came forward to introduce herself. She sincerely requested to become Luo Ziling’s apprentice in hopes of learning martial arts to improve health and fitness. Following her, several other female classmates squeezed up, expressing similar wishes. They chattered away, clamoring for Luo Ziling’s phone number and WeChat.
Luo Ziling quickly grabbed Cao Jianhui, asking him to deal with these female classmates while he escaped to the bathroom to take care of his physiological needs.
After collecting his thoughts in the bathroom, Luo Ziling came out and said to the waiting girls, “The martial arts that I know, I’ve been learning since I was three years old. The horse stance and other basics took five years. If you have the patience for it, I can teach you.”
The mention of five years of basic training scared everyone, and several boys who wanted to learn martial arts immediately shrank back, too embarrassed to ask Luo Ziling to teach them any further. However, a few girls were not disheartened and asked Luo Ziling to teach them the basics first.
Luo Ziling did not agree to it and told them to consider it carefully before deciding, as practicing the horse stance and other basics required personal commitment, and they would need to reach a certain level before learning more.
Cao Jianhui and the others had long realized that Luo Ziling was reluctant to teach these young girls martial arts.
The girls’ real goal was not to learn martial arts, but to get closer to him.
More importantly, these girls were just average-looking, and they were their senior classmates, so the guys were not very enthusiastic either. Instead, they helped Luo Ziling persuade them to focus on their studies and not to waste time and energy on these things.
Cao Jianhui also subtly reminded them that Luo Ziling already had a girlfriend, and they stood no chance.
After much coaxing and persuasion, the group managed to finally send away those classmates who had come for a visit.
“What are you guys doing?” After the room was left with just the three of them and a mess, Luo Ziling yelled at the other three guys in frustration, “If you dare to bring so many people to bother me again tomorrow, do you believe I’ll beat you up?”
“Boss, you’re really wronging us here,” Cao Jianhui said with a woeful face, “These people weren’t called by us, they came on their own because they’re your fans, and we couldn’t really turn them away. You weren’t here yesterday, and we had to entertain even more of your admirers. Although, there really were a few classmates who looked pretty good yesterday. It’s just a pity that they weren’t interested in us, only in you.”
“Boss, this world is so unfair, you’ve thoroughly trampled on our self-respect. You’re surrounded by so many girls, and they keep coming after you—this world is too unfair.” Li Fuming said with a look of grievance, “We haven’t even found anyone to pursue, and you’re already mixing with beauties. We’re so envious and jealous!”
“Boss, you’ve got to help us out. Attract more girls to our dorm so we get a chance to choose. Our happiness depends entirely on you,” Wu Longjiang said, giggling as he clung to Luo Ziling’s arm. “The three of us have discussed it and decided to open our dorm to visitors. As long as they’re girls, they can drop by. We’re counting on you to extend the hospitality with us!”
Luo Ziling didn’t know whether to laugh or cry with these guys. In the end, he didn’t blame them much and, after cracking a few jokes, he escaped to the bathroom to freshen up.
After freshening up, the four lay in their beds chatting. Cao Jianhui casually asked Luo Ziling what he did over the weekend and why he was nowhere to be seen. Luo Ziling didn’t say much, just told them he had things to do, spent Saturday night at his Late Father’s place, and that he might have dinner at his relatives’ every weekend in the future.
While talking, Luo Ziling took out his phone to see if there were any messages for him.
He found a pile of WeChat messages, and there were many friend requests, dozens of them, mostly from girls.
After a bout of headache, he deleted all the friend requests and turned off the option to add friends via phone number and QQ number.
There was a message from Yang Qingyin saying she was about to go to bed and wishing Luo Ziling good night. At the same time, she told him she would treat him to a big meal sometime and invite him to try some food he’d never had before. Luo Ziling naturally agreed.
He also noticed several messages from Ouyang Huihui. This woman’s messages were quite different from before, with a lot of caring words instead of the cold complaints, and she even invited him to share a feast or go out together.
After some thought, Luo Ziling replied with a message saying he had been busy over the weekend and had just got back, exhausted, planning to sleep. As for dining out or hanging out, he said they would talk about it in a few days.
Then he saw a message from Ouyang Feifei, asking if he was free tomorrow afternoon or evening, as she would send someone to pick him up. She needed another treatment and wanted to discuss some things with Luo Ziling.
After considering it, Luo Ziling agreed to help Ouyang Feifei with her treatment tomorrow evening.
At that moment, Ouyang Huihui sent another message, asking if he was free tomorrow evening.
Luo Ziling replied that he was going to treat Ouyang Feifei tomorrow evening and asked if she wanted to come along.
He hadn’t expected Ouyang Huihui to agree, but to his surprise, she readily accepted and said she would take him there.
The next afternoon, Ouyang Feifei messaged Luo Ziling to come over with Ouyang Huihui; she would not send someone to pick him up. Luo Ziling naturally agreed.
After class in the afternoon, Luo Ziling received a call from Ouyang Huihui, who asked him to wait at the parking lot.
When Luo Ziling took the necessary items and arrived at the parking lot, he saw Ouyang Huihui already sitting in the car waiting for him.
“Wow, why are you dressed so pretty today?” As soon as he got in the car, Luo Ziling noticed something was off. Ouyang Huihui was dressed in a very pure and beautiful way that caught his eye.
Hearing Luo Ziling compliment her looks, Ouyang Huihui couldn’t help feeling a bit proud and immediately shot back with a question, “Luo Ziling, I’m asking you, who’s prettier, me or my sister? And what about Yang Qingyin? Among the three of us, who’s the most beautiful?”
As soon as Luo Ziling heard Ouyang Huihui ask this question, he became instantly wary.
It seems like there could be trouble!
