Urban Super Medical Saint-Chapter 489 - 488: Don’t Tell Me You Actually Like That Guy?
"Thanks, but I'll pass. You guys have fun," Ge Dongxu said without waiting for Lin Xiaojie and Xu Yanran to speak, already giving them a look, then smiling at Lin Jianfeng, seemingly not caring about his showing off at all.

"It's alright, if you want to go, just go. One person more won't make a difference," Lin Jianfeng said.
"Yeah, Dongxu, it's the revolving restaurant at Mingyue Lake, the top buffet in Linzhou City. Students like us normally can't afford to go there. Today, since Lin Jianfeng is treating us, we should definitely take advantage and experience it," Ren Dandan said, her gaze full of admiration when she looked at Lin Jianfeng.
Lin Xiaojie and Xu Yanran felt a bit awkward looking at Ge Dongxu upon hearing this.
With his status, couldn't he afford to go to the revolving restaurant at Mingyue Lake and still need to bask in Lin Jianfeng's glory?
However, remembering what Ge Dongxu had told them last night, they could only keep these thoughts to themselves.
"Haha, thanks though. You guys are having a classmates gathering. I, as a freshman, won't join in the fun. I've finished eating. Take your time," Ge Dongxu said politely once again, then stood up carrying his stainless-steel tray.
"Dongxu!" When they saw Ge Dongxu standing up, Lin Xiaojie and Xu Yanran instinctively called out, their faces showing a hint of regret.
Initially, they just wanted to see if they could run into Ge Dongxu at the first canteen and have breakfast with him. They hadn't expected Lin Jianfeng to suddenly appear, causing him to be looked down upon.
"Have fun, I'm going to buy breakfast for my roommates. Those guys are incredibly lazy," Ge Dongxu said with a nod and a smile to Lin Xiaojie and Xu Yanran.
Seeing that Ge Dongxu wasn't affected at all, Lin Xiaojie and Xu Yanran secretly let out a sigh of relief. They also felt touched to see someone as influential as him still personally buying breakfast for his roommates without putting on airs.
You really can't compare people with each other.
In the past, they thought Lin Jianfeng was quite a character. He was still a college student, but using some funds from his father, he had pulled together some students to do business as campus "hustlers." Last year, he even set up a small company; besides a few full-time employees, all others were part-timers recruited from various schools focused on doing business in Linzhou, such as selling IC phone cards, graduate exam materials, tutoring services, etc., reportedly making a decent amount of money in the past two years.
However, after making money, Lin Jianfeng's entire demeanor seemed to have become somewhat lofty. Coupled with a decent family background, he often showed off both in public and private. Before, Lin Xiaojie and Xu Yanran didn't think much of it, feeling he had the right to boast. But now, by comparing him with Ge Dongxu, they suddenly felt a stark difference.
Lin Jianfeng obviously didn't realize his boasting didn't make Lin Xiaojie and Xu Yanran think any better of him; instead, it made him seem lower in their eyes. Seeing that Ge Dongxu wasn't taking the bait, he casually sneered, "Xu Yanran, your fellow townsman seems kind of pretentious, huh!"
"Hey, don't just say anything, Lin Jianfeng. He just doesn't want to go. What's all this about being pretentious or not?" Xu Yanran said, immediately looking somewhat unhappy.
"Exactly! Does it mean that just because you're treating, everyone must go?" Lin Xiaojie also expressed her displeasure.
Although they hadn't known Ge Dongxu for long, his kind nature and his humble, sincere attitude had already made Lin Xiaojie and Xu Yanran consider him a true friend in their hearts.
Only this friend's status was so exceptional that it made them feel an involuntary sense of admiration and awe towards him.
Now, with Lin Jianfeng speaking about Ge Dongxu like this in front of them, they were naturally unhappy.
Lin Jianfeng, unaware of all this, was a bit stunned to see his casual remark upset the two beauties, and he felt somewhat annoyed internally.
It's just a freshman, right? Can he even compare with me?
"Hey, Lin Xiaojie and Xu Yanran, what's up with you two today? You don't have a thing for Ge Dongxu, do you?" Ren Dandan said with a frown as she recalled previous events.
"Hey, Ren Dandan, what are you talking about!" Lin Xiaojie and Xu Yanran were startled by Ren's words and glared at her. Then they sneakily glanced at Ge Dongxu, who was at the window buying breakfast for his roommate. Seeing that he hadn't reacted to their conversation, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Hearing Ren Dandan say this, Lin Jianfeng felt even more annoyed and said, "Exactly, Ren Dandan, don't talk nonsense. He's just a freshman, why would Lin Xiaojie and Xu Yanran be interested in him?"
"Yeah, how could that freshman compare to us, who started businesses at a young age, own houses and cars, and not to mention are as handsome as President Lin Lin Jianfeng!" Shi Tianhang brown-nosed.
The houses Shi Tianhang mentioned weren't actually bought by Lin Jianfeng himself, but were bought by his father for business purposes. Even the car was partially sponsored by his father.
Of course, Lin Jianfeng would never reveal those details.
Upon hearing this, Lin Jianfeng's face brightened as if he truly owned a house and car on his own merits.
"I mean, Shi Tianhang, if you're going to praise Lin Jianfeng, then praise him. Why bring Ge Dongxu into it?" Lin Xiaojie and Xu Yanran said, again looking displeased.
Shi Tianhang, just like Lin Jianfeng earlier, was baffled by their reaction.
What exactly was going on? Why were these usually high and mighty beauties protecting that freshman engineering student like a mother hen? Could they actually be interested in that guy?
It didn't seem right, though. Sure, he was somewhat handsome, but he ate a simple breakfast of porridge with some salty radishes and a plain steamed bun, not even sparing money for an egg. Could he really compare to Lin Jianfeng, who was rich, capable, and also somewhat handsome?
Seeing Lin Xiaojie and Xu Yanran once again protecting Ge Dongxu, Lin Jianfeng, who was quite full of himself, couldn't help but look visibly upset. Ren Dandan, seeing this, quickly said, "Alright, alright, I don't know what got into you two today. He's just a freshman. Let's eat quickly and then take a ride in President Lin's car."
"Forget it, you go ahead, I don't want to go anymore," Lin Xiaojie said, shaking her head.
"I don't want to go either," Xu Yanran added.
Before this, they had actually been interested; after all, they were college students, and a classmate was offering a car ride and a buffet at the revolving restaurant at Mingyue Lake—there was absolutely no reason to refuse.
But now, with Lin Jianfeng showing off in front of Ge Dongxu like that, they suddenly found it dull.
"Hey, what do you two mean by this? Lin Jianfeng finally buys a new car and invites us to celebrate, and you just decide not to go? Isn't that just spoiling everyone's fun?" Ren Dandan said, her eyes widening in disbelief.
"Exactly!" Shi Tianhang chimed in.
Lin Jianfeng had always had a crush on Lin Xiaojie, but she had always been lukewarm towards him. This time, Lin Jianfeng had splurged on a Santana 2000, thinking he could use the car to impress Lin Xiaojie. But having his plan falter on the first day, he was hardly willing to back down. Quickly pulling himself together and putting on a forced smile, he said, "Come on, it's Sunday, and the weather is nice too. It will be boring without you."
Lin Xiaojie and Xu Yanran looked at Lin Jianfeng's contrived smile and saw Ren Dandan staring at them. It seemed as if saying "no" would result in a fallout. Thinking that they were all classmates after all, they finally nodded and said, "Alright then. But Lin Jianfeng, are you sure your driving skills are up to par?"
"What kind of joke is that, I got my license when I was a freshman, seasoned driver!" Lin Jianfeng said, visibly elated as the two agreed.
