Chapter 248: Chapter 243: The Male Lead with X-ray Vision

"This is building number two, I should head off now." Ling Batian sent her to her destination, his gaze lingering with reluctance.

"Thank you, Ling Batian." Liu Zhilan said shyly.

It’s not easy to have an encounter with the school belle, is it too much to simply walk away without making the most of it? What’s more, what if Liu Zhilan is left waiting for her friend?

"How about I wait with you for a bit? Then, I could treat you and your friend to dinner." Ling Batian leaned against the wall with a fervent gaze.

"How could I impose like that? It should be me inviting you to dinner." Liu Zhilan murmured softly, her cheeks reddening further, but she did not refuse.

Opportunity! Ling Batian’s eyes sparkled, he moved a bit closer to her, and between them lingered a certain flirtatious atmosphere.

"Zhilan?" Liu Zhilan’s friend rushed over from afar, abruptly shattering the flirtatious mood, leaving both of them sighing inwardly.

But then, as soon as Ling Batian saw the new arrival, any annoyance in his heart dissipated. The reason being, the newcomer was none other than the belle of his own college, A University’s Song Yu.

So the school belle was friends with another school belle, Ling Batian mused to himself, his sharp eyes unabashedly scanning Song Yu. Although Song Yu’s figure was not as voluptuous as Liu Zhilan’s, her slender, firm long legs were highly suggestive.

"Who’s this?" Song Yu’s temper was somewhat sassy, she asked brusquely.

"This is Ling Batian. I couldn’t have found this place without his help!" Liu Zhilan considerately explained on his behalf.

"Oh my, you still get lost so easily." Song Yu teasingly mocked her good friend, then turned to Ling Batian with a raised eyebrow, "Now that you’ve escorted her, what are you still doing here? Are you trying to hit on my bestie?"

This spicy little pepper sure has a vibrant spirit, Ling Batian greedily shifted his gaze from Song Yu and gave a charming smile, "I was just hoping to have the honor of treating two beautiful ladies to dinner, if that’s alright with you?"

"I should be the one inviting you." Liu Zhilan hastily interjected.

"Oh please, if he says he’s treating then let him treat. Why try to outdo his generosity? Isn’t it his honor to invite us two beauties to dinner?" Song Yu said with a touch of playful coquetry.

"Yu, how can you talk like that?" Liu Zhilan was a bit anxious, worried that because of Song Yu’s words Ling Batian would think less of them.

"The belle is right, it truly is my honor. So, shall we get going? I know a great place, not only does the food taste good, the ambiance is excellent as well." Ling Batian said reassuringly with a smile to Liu Zhilan, considerately.

"Thank you for the trouble." Liu Zhilan approached Ling Batian and whispered, "Yu is just like that, no harm meant."

"What, you care that much about me?" Ling Batian raised an eyebrow and smiled at Liu Zhilan, and whether intentional or not, his broad hand brushed against her tender little hand, stirring up a wave of flirtation.

Liu Zhilan shyly turned her head away, her cheeks reddening even more, while Ling Batian was even more reluctant to miss this rare scene, his gaze intense.

"Hey, what are you two doing lagging behind, having a secret affair back there?" Song Yu stood ahead pouting, her words, whether intentional or not, making Liu Zhilan feel even more bashful.

"You’ve picked quite a good spot, huh!" Song Yu walked into the private room, glanced around, then said, "Didn’t realize you had money, kid. This place isn’t cheap, is it?"

"How could I take two beauties out to dinner at some cheap place? Order whatever you like, don’t hold back." Ling Batian said boldly. He would never have dared to come to such a place before, but things are different now, aren’t they? A meal costing tens of thousands is but a trifle.

Seeing Ling Batian looking relaxed and genuine, a hint of satisfaction flashed across Song Yu’s bright, big eyes.

"The dinner was cheerful for both the host and the guest. Ling Batian stood up and said to Liu Zhilan, "It’s getting dark. Let me take you home. You’ve had some alcohol, and I’m a bit worried for you."

"Oh, feeling concerned already?" Song Yu said with a hint of sarcasm. "Here I am all alone, and you’re not offering to walk me home?"

"Then you take Yu home, I can manage alone." Liu Zhilan said considerately.

Ling Batian, reluctantly: "Then let’s take Song Yu back to A University first, and then I’ll take you back to S University, okay?"

Seeing them like this, Song Yu waved her hands indifferently: "I’m fine, A University is not far from here, I can go back alone." Having said this, she didn’t wait for Ling Batian and Liu Zhilan to object and walked off into the night lights alone.

Ling Batian, seeing Song Yu’s clear and composed departure, didn’t take it to heart, and said to Liu Zhilan with care, "In that case, I’ll take you home."

As the man and woman walked away, Song Yu, who should’ve left earlier, emerged from a building, silently biting her lip in frustration. That clueless man thinks only of Liu Zhilan – in what way is Song Yu deficient?

"Achoo!" The early summer night breeze was still a bit chilly, causing Liu Zhilan to sneeze involuntarily.

"What’s wrong?" Ling Batian asked anxiously, holding Liu Zhilan’s tender hand tightly as if blaming himself, "Your hand is so cold. It’s my fault for not noticing earlier. Here, wear my jacket."

Liu Zhilan was silent as Ling Batian draped her with his jacket. The man’s scent enveloped her, causing her heart, already uncertain throughout the day, to race even faster.

"Thank you, Batian, you’re so kind," Liu Zhilan said, moved.

"This bit of kindness is nothing," Ling Batian tenderly stroked Liu Zhilan’s head, "For you, I’m willing to do anything."

"Really?" Liu Zhilan asked with intense and cautious eyes.

Ling Batian stopped walking and looked into the eyes of the beauty before him with deep affection, "Zhilan, you must believe me. I fell for you the moment I saw you today. It may be abrupt to say this, but I can’t hold it back any longer. Zhilan, would you be my girlfriend?"

"I, I..." Liu Zhilan stammered, appearing a bit frightened.

"You don’t want to?" Ling Batian looked down sadly, "It seems I’ve really been presumptuous. I understand. I won’t bother you anymore, but can I please take you home safely today? Otherwise, I’ll be worried."

Somehow, seeing him like this made Liu Zhilan’s heart ache. She quickly said, "No, it’s not like that. I’m not unwilling. I, I like you too."

After finishing her words, Liu Zhilan shyly lowered her head, her hands nervously clasped together.

"Really?" Ling Batian looked up in surprise and then embraced Liu Zhilan tightly, spinning around with her on the spot, then planted a firm kiss on her cheek. "Zhilan, I’m so happy!"

"People will see," Liu Zhilan said shyly.

"My girlfriend... even if people see, so what? I want everyone to know that Liu Zhilan is my, Ling Batian’s, girlfriend," Ling Batian proclaimed proudly.
