Deities Are All Just My Food-Chapter 2331 - 1043: Nangong Shu: After Having the Meat, I Should Leave Some Soup for Others! (Part 2)
"Come on, your sister-in-law is the number one in Jiuzhou, okay? Qin Shanwei, ten years ago, could have been in the top five, but these past ten years, he’s stayed in Beijin and hardly ever goes on missions or enters God’s ruins. How much do you think his real combat experience is left?"
Nangong Shu thinks Qin Shanwei is finished: "Even if he comes out and wants to trouble you, he still has to ask if your sister-in-law agrees!"
"Red Medicine and I are just friends!"
Lin Baici frowned, not liking the sister-in-law joke very much.
"So I suggest you marry Red Medicine, it’s the best for your future development."
Nangong Shu glanced at Lin Baici: "Actually, if you have the guts, conquering Xia Hongmian would be even better!"
"I have no development plans, I just want to enjoy life!"
Lin Baici was not joking, he planned to finish his four years of college happily.
With his current accomplishments, he could rest on his laurels for a lifetime.
"Haha, such a naive young man!"
Nangong Shu shook her head, laughing: "If I were Xia Hongmian, I’d take advantage of Qin Shanwei’s absence to seize power and take over the Security Bureau!"
"By the time Qin Shanwei cleansed the Qin Palace and comes out, it would be too late!"
"It’s just a pity Xia Hongmian isn’t that kind of person!"
Nangong Shu turned over and sat on Lin Baici’s lap, then played poker while talking about Red Medicine and Qin Shanwei’s intelligence.
Time flew by.
At nine in the evening, the satiated landlady and Lin Baici went downstairs to go to the reserved restaurant for dinner.
The bar was still crowded, and several customers familiar with Nangong Shu raised their glasses to her as she came down.
The landlady in her cheongsam ignored them, speaking only to Lin Baici.
"Sister Shu!"
Wang Chen called out.
Nangong Shu waved in the direction of the voice without even glancing over.
Wang Chen watched as Nangong Shu passed by him.
She smelled so good!
And today she was actually wearing black stockings!
Wang Chen knew that Nangong Shu either went bare-legged or wore flesh-colored stockings, she almost never wore black. But today, clearly, it was an exception because of Lin Baici.
Thinking about them being together for over nine hours...
It surely wasn’t just chatting!
Wang Chen’s eyes turned red as he raised his glass and downed it in one gulp.
Lin Baici is such a lucky guy!
Wang Chen’s eyes were red with envy.
"Stop drinking!"
The bartender advised.
"What makes him better than me?"
Wang Chen questioned.
"..."
Wang Chen was stunned.
Thinking, are you drunk?
Daring to say such nonsense?
It’s not just about being handsome to win the landlady’s favor.
Actually, the landlady admired those who were strong.
Look at Lin Baici’s achievements...
Aside from that, even in terms of looks, the bartender thought Lin Baici had more charisma.
The bartender didn’t know, but Lin Baici had encountered a God, that kind of innate confidence Wang Chen couldn’t compare to.
...
After dinner with the landlady, Lin Baici didn’t send her back to the bar because midway, he received a call from Kim Myungjin.
The Da Xian Conglomerate had a scandal that went viral, needing her immediate attention.
Besides, after being away for a whole summer, Kim Myungjin really needed to go back, or her mother would ruin the company.
"No need to see me off!"
Nangong Shu teased: "I’ve had my fill of meat, should leave some soup for others!"
"Bye-bye!"
Nangong Shu called a car and left gracefully.
Lin Baici arrived at Kim Myungjin’s villa, where she was packing.
"Is it serious?"
Lin Baici was worried.
"If I were from Jiuzhou, I wouldn’t have to be apart from you!"
Kim Myungjin sighed.
At night, naturally, things were subtle and gentle.
The Goryeo girl fighting alone, how could she be Lin Baici’s match? Soon, she was utterly defeated.
The next morning, Lin Baici drove Kim Myungjin to the airport.
On the way back to the city, Lin Baici was idly wondering what to do today, intending to visit Gu Qingxiang, but after calling twice, there was no answer.
"You’re free? Then come to the bureau and help me write reports!"
In the video, Xia Hongyao leaned over her desk, buried in reports, exhausted, and had to call Lin Baici for assistance.
"You’re a great detective, still afraid of these things?"
Lin Baici refused to suffer: "A college classmate invited me to dinner!"
Hua Yue Yu sent a message saying she’s livestreaming to give back to her fans, so she won’t have time to hang out these couple of days.
Actually, Hua Yue Yu really wanted to hear Lin Baici say, ’Streaming for what? Come out and have fun!’
If he did, she’d absolutely end the stream in a heartbeat!
Lin Baici exchanged a few more words with Li Wei. His childhood friend was still in Guangqing, distributing flyers to earn money as a tutor, and the tea girl hadn’t returned to school either, making it impossible for Lin Baici to find a friend to go out with.
Skimming through WeChat, Lin Baici suddenly spotted Jiang Yitong’s name.
Should I buy a gift and visit her?
If I don’t reach out at all, won’t that seem cold-blooded?
Lin Baici went home first to observe Wang Fang’s expression.
The same as usual.
Looks like Jiang Yitong really kept it a secret.
She deserved a reward!
On the way to the Shangri-La Hotel, Lin Baici made a detour to a mall, but seeing the dazzling array of products, with his little experience in gift-giving, he didn’t know what to buy.
Ji Xinyan would get it, but certain questions couldn’t be asked of the tea girl. Otherwise, if she asked who the gift was for, how would he answer?
Forget it!
I’ll find time to bring Jiang Yitong to pick it out herself!
Lin Baici randomly selected a set of high-end cosmetics and headed to the hotel.
When he arrived, it was around 10 in the morning.
When Jiang Yitong opened the door, he saw the school beauty in a bathrobe, with wet hair.
"What are you doing?"
Jiang Yitong had just woken up not long ago, soaking in a hot bath and sipping red wine.
The red wine was leftover from yesterday.
This made her feel a bit guilty because that bottle of red wine was expensive, costing several thousand. Staying in the presidential suite with a large floor-to-ceiling window view and colorful lights, it wouldn’t create the same atmosphere without wine.
"Just came to see how you’re doing, and brought you a small gift!"
Jiang Yitong was blocking the door, so Lin Baici didn’t step inside.
Jiang Yitong glanced at the cosmetics; it was La Mer, quite pricey cosmetics: "I don’t want it, I’m not worthy of such expensive cosmetics!"
Jiang Yitong had planned to change clothes before letting Lin Baici in, but on second thought, since he was the one paying for the room, she felt embarrassed.
"Take a seat first!"
Jiang Yitong hurried to the bedroom, and a few minutes later, she came out in everyday clothes.
Just a simple skirt and T-shirt, which didn’t quite match the ten-thousand-a-night room.
This left Jiang Yitong feeling quite disappointed.
Yesterday was like living in an unrealistic fairy tale.
"I’m fine now; you should cancel the room today, I’ll go back to my dorm!"
Deep down, Jiang Yitong didn’t have the urge to seize the opportunity to milk money from Lin Baici: "I’ll repay you that money!"
"I’m telling you, I’m not that kind of casual girl!"
"Don’t think you can make up for the hurt you caused me with money!"
Jiang Yitong operated her phone to transfer money to Lin Baici.
It did hurt a bit!
But if she took the money, she couldn’t hold her head up in front of Lin Baici in the future.
"Do you want to watch the video again?"
Lin Baici snatched Jiang Yitong’s phone: "You initiated it!"
"You..."
Jiang Yitong pouted, looking sullen.
"It’s just a small amount, no need to go back and forth!"
Lin Baici casually checked Jiang Yitong’s WeChat and call logs.
"What? Afraid I’ll tell my mom? Or Li Wei? Or do you think I’ll spread rumors about you on your school’s forum?"
Jiang Yitong was quite smart; as soon as she saw Lin Baici’s little move, she guessed his intention.
"I know there’s a female straight-A student chasing you!"
"Don’t worry, I won’t ruin your good thing!"
"Hehe!"
Lin Baici threw the phone back to Jiang Yitong: "Didn’t expect you to be so interested in me?"
"Uh..."
Jiang Yitong blushed. She had indeed paid attention to Lin Baici’s situation. To avoid awkwardness, she changed the subject: "So, you didn’t need to come see me!"
"We’re even now!"
"I’ll just pretend I got bitten by a dog!"
Lin Baici furrowed his brow; a bit annoyed: "Do you believe I’ll bite you again!"
"Ah!"
Startled, Jiang Yitong instinctively took a step back.
Please no, I’m still hurting!
To be honest, besides the pain, it was actually quite an experience.
