Chapter 55: Chapter 55: Artistic Girl and Little Electric Scooter Pulling a Beautiful Lady

Shang Wanjun is wearing high heels.

The heel is about seven to eight centimeters high. Xu Lin looked at her and felt that she was only slightly shorter than him, estimating her height to be around 1.73 meters.

If a girl is over 1.70 meters tall and is also beautiful, it’s far beyond what girls who are over 1.60 meters or even shorter can compare to, and the same applies to boys.

Xu Lin remembers a movie.

"Resident Evil 5," where Ada Wang, even wearing high heels, wasn’t as tall as the female lead, and when the two stood together, Ada Wang was instantly outmatched. Actually, Xu Lin didn’t find the female lead attractive, nor did she have a good figure, but her presence was just too strong, her height overshadowing Ada Wang, already defeating the beautiful Ada Wang overall.

Xu Lin likes tall women.

Moreover, his mother, Ms. Ren, is also 1.72 meters tall.

After arriving at the corridor.

Xu Lin was facing Shang Wanjun, and at this time, Xu Lin thought he was caught playing with his phone.

Of course, he wasn’t nervous.

Because he wasn’t a good student; only good and obedient students would panic when caught.

He is quite daring.

At this moment, Shang Wanjun sized up Xu Lin.

Her expression carried a hint of coolness, but she wasn’t a cold beauty; rather, she had a unique scholarly air.

Shang Wanjun said, "In future class meetings, don’t wear slippers, okay? It’s not very appropriate."

"I’ll pay more attention next time."

Xu Lin nodded slightly, not expecting her to mention his slippers.

However, Xu Lin simply let it slide.

As the book says, "Great actions disregard trifles, great rituals don’t mind minor matters."

Why bother with this small detail?

"Also, tomorrow morning, at the new student orientation, did the class assistant tell you to speak as a student representative?"

"I’m aware of it."

"Have you made any preparations in advance?"

"I’ve prepared a speech draft."

"Do you feel nervous?"

"I don’t think it’s a big problem."

"That’s good, try your best! It’s a great opportunity for practice!" Shang Wanjun said.

Xu Lin nodded slightly.

Shang Wanjun continued, "Alright then, go back now! Do your best tomorrow!"

Then Xu Lin returned.

"What did the advisor ask you just now? Was it about playing with your phone?"

Rong Xiyi asked.

"The advisor said she’s never seen such a handsome guy like me."

"Nonsense!"

Rong Xiyi didn’t believe Xu Lin’s nonsense.

Xu Lin said, "Actually, I’m the new student representative; she told me to prepare well."

"You’re the new student representative?"

Rong Xiyi didn’t quite believe it.

"What? Don’t believe it?"

"A bit, you don’t seem very reliable."

Xu Lin opted not to refute.

At this point, Xu Lin opened the class group member list, and found the advisor’s number under the administrator section.

Nickname: Flower Field of the Human World.

The profile picture was of an ancient style.

"To have half an acre of flower field in the heart, hidden within the secular world."

Rong Xiyi said beside him.

"What’s that?"

Xu Lin asked her.

"The advisor’s nickname Flower Field of the Human World probably comes from the line in Xin Qiji’s ’Linjiang Xian’: ’To have half an acre of flower field in the heart, hidden within the secular world,’ meaning that, no matter how chaotic the worldly affairs are, there’s still a pure land in my heart." Rong Xiyi said.

Xu Lin: "You’re impressive, I didn’t study much."

"That’s why you must read more books! Instead of those outlandish ones you read!"

Rong Xiyi realized Xu Lin’s self-introduction earlier was all nonsense.

"What’s her signature then?"

Xu Lin pointed at Shang Wanjun’s signature: In a particle of dust, three thousand worlds; in half a moment, eighty thousand springs.

Rong Xiyi shook her head but searched it with her phone, finding out that this line was from a Song Dynasty monk named Shi Xinyue’s "Shenjian’s Dream Record," a Buddhist philosophical piece.

Rong Xiyi said, "The advisor is an artistic girl!"

Xu Lin still encountered an artistic girl for the first time; even Yu Xinyan was the provincial top scorer in sciences, and even though she read a lot of extracurricular books, Xu Lin had never seen her have any artistic aura. And now this Shang Wanjun, an artistic girl?

Xu Lin met a so-called artistic girl for the first time.

At the moment, Rong Xiyi was curiously searching Shang Wanjun’s information on the school’s website.

And found it indeed.

Rong Xiyi exclaimed, "Our advisor is actually a top student, graduated from Jiangdu Transportation University, both Bachelor and Master degrees from Transport University! I wonder why she came to Finance University to be an advisor?"

Jiangdu Transportation University, ranked fifth nationwide and second in Jiangdu.

Xu Lin said, "It’s just an internship, she might not even stay here, and who knows when she might leave."

Rong Xiyi: "Also, she’s only twenty-two this year, born in 03, just four years older than me."

"Which year were you born in, Xu Lin?"

"07."

"I’m also 07."

In Xu Lin’s class, classmates were born between 06 to 08, those born in 06 are already nineteen, and there are fewer of them in the class, most were born in 07 and 08, making them seventeen or eighteen.

The class meeting lasted for a bit over an hour, and for Xu Lin, the class meeting felt like sitting on pins and needles, where seconds seemed like years, even with Rong Xiyi beside him.

And it was the same for Rong Xiyi, she didn’t enjoy listening to boring class meetings either.

The two could only chat continuously out of boredom, and after an hour, they became quite familiar.

"Xu Lin, are you going to the cafeteria to get something to eat later?"

"You go by yourself, I still have a dinner invitation."

"What’s so good about a dinner, it’s boring."

Rong Xiyi felt that a dinner wasn’t as good as finding a place to play games or read books.

She didn’t have many hobbies and wasn’t very social, preferring to stay by herself.

"It’s free, what’s not good? Someone’s treating, it’s a chance to have a good meal without spending money, where else can you find such an opportunity?"

"Who’s treating?"

"Didn’t someone just add you as a friend, Liu Longsheng."

"Almost forgot, this guy invited my dorm for a dinner today, but I think my dorm mates aren’t really keen on me going, though I actually don’t plan to go, couldn’t be bothered."

After speaking, Rong Xiyi changed her tune, "But, since you’re going, I might as well go!"

And so the class meeting ended amidst the whispers of the two.

As soon as the class meeting ended, everyone in the class went about their own ways, all discussing tonight’s dorm dinner.

Generally speaking, on the first night of school, classmates will go out for dinner together, especially within the dormitory. Additionally, there are quite a few who do co-ed dormitory mixers. If two people click, some can quickly find a partner within the first few days of school.

As soon as the class meeting ended, Liu Longsheng quickly came over.

He smiled and said to Rong Xiyi, "Rong Xiyi, are you joining the dinner?"

During the class meeting, Liu Longsheng had quietly inquired with the girls, and oh man, he had just discovered that Rong Xiyi was indeed from Li Sinan’s dormitory!

This stunningly beautiful girl was actually part of tonight’s mixer dormitory.

Liu Longsheng knew he had to seize the opportunity no matter what he said.

September is the season for mating. At this time, both males and females are in heat.

At the start of school, bold boys and girls are all looking for their potential partners.

Rong Xiyi said flatly, "Let’s go!"

Liu Longsheng smiled and said, "We’re heading over to the night market, which is a bit far from here. Why don’t we take my car? I’ll drive my E300!"

Over at Li Sinan’s side, upon hearing that Rong Xiyi was going too, she felt a bit uneasy. You see, during the entire class meeting, Rong Xiyi had been chatting with Xu Lin, and who knows what they were chatting about. If Rong Xiyi wanted to date Xu Lin, chances are, Li Sinan could hardly compete.

Moreover, Liu Longsheng immediately started kissing up to her.

But Rong Xiyi said, "I’ll take Xu Lin’s car."

"Xu Lin, did you drive?"

Liu Longsheng was taken aback, wondering if Xu Lin was driving a Panamera?

If it’s a Panamera, his E300 couldn’t really compete.

But Xu Lin said, "I borrowed a small electric scooter, let’s ride the small electric scooter later!"

Really, a small electric scooter?

Buddy, are you trying to make people laugh to death?

Liu Longsheng was inwardly scornful; he didn’t believe Rong Xiyi would choose the small electric scooter over an E300.

"A small electric scooter doesn’t sound very comfortable, does it, Rong Xiyi? Why not sit in my car, of course, your dormmates can come along too."

Liu Longsheng didn’t give up and continued to persuade Rong Xiyi.

Rong Xiyi shook her head, not wanting to waste more time with Liu Longsheng: "No, I get carsick. Xu Lin, let’s go downstairs!"

And Liu Longsheng could only watch helplessly as Xu Lin took Rong Xiyi away.

Really?

She really rode Xu Lin’s small electric scooter? And it was borrowed!

Xu Lin and Rong Xiyi didn’t bother with what Liu Longsheng thought, and after going downstairs, the two arrived at the spot where the electric bikes were parked.

Xu Lin rode up and stopped next to Rong Xiyi.

"Hop on."

"It’s actually my first time riding this kind of vehicle."

Rong Xiyi flicked her hair. In the evening breeze, her long hair fluttered, giving her a different kind of beauty.

Xu Lin chuckled, "Then you should thank me. I’m giving you a rare ’first’ experience!"

"It’s just a scooter; what’s so rare about it?"

"Be grateful, you’re one of the few girls I’ve ever given a scooter ride to. Others don’t get this treatment."

"What a player comment! I’m not falling for it!"

Rong Xiyi sat on the scooter while maintaining a certain distance from Xu Lin.

Xu Lin glanced back at her and then sharply twisted the handlebar to accelerate, startling Rong Xiyi into a squeal and grabbing onto Xu Lin’s shoulders in reflex.

"Xu Lin!"

Rong Xiyi slightly pounded Xu Lin’s back.

"Hahaha..."

Xu Lin laughed heartily.

"Xu Lin’s really something!"

Not far off, Xie Zhengrong and Hu Donghai, seated on a neighboring dorm’s electric scooter, couldn’t help but give Xu Lin a thumbs up.

You see, no one else in the class had even spoken to Rong Xiyi yet, and Xu Lin was already laughing and joking with her. Other guys had every reason to be envious.

"Xu Lin, at Brother Hao’s Barbecue in the food court, Liu Longsheng said he’s already reserved a table. We just need to head over!"

Xie Zhengrong shouted.

Hu Donghai also called out, "Xu Lin, see you at the destination!"

Xu Lin turned to glance at the two of them, making a hand gesture: "Ok!"

"Are those two your roommates?"

Rong Xiyi asked.

"The two behind us are."

"They seem alright, not as annoying as Liu Longsheng from your dorm."

"How can you say that about my buddy? What do you mean?"

"He doesn’t think much of you, yet you call him buddy!"

Rong Xiyi scoffed, feeling keenly that someone in her dorm, like Li Sinan, didn’t like her. The other two girls were fine, and over at Xu Lin’s dorm, Liu Longsheng didn’t seem to like Xu Lin much either.

Xu Lin barked back menacingly, "In front of me, don’t badmouth my buddy!"

"I’ll say whatever I want! How about it?"

"Fine, go ahead."

"E300 isn’t that great. He seems pretty boring, with a misplaced sense of superiority."

"Hmm?"

Xu Lin pulled over to the side.

"What’s wrong with the E300? You look down on my dream car?"

Rong Xiyi didn’t say anything, just opened one of her stock software’s fund accounts to show Xu Lin.

It was the first time Xu Lin had seen that much money.

Rong Xiyi’s fund actually had five million, Xu Lin didn’t even bother to look at the trailing zeros because five million was already shocking enough.

Moreover, if the fund had that much money, who would put all their money in funds?

So Rong Xiyi surely had another stash or even more money elsewhere!

After a while, Xu Lin silently resumed driving.

He never imagined that Rong Xiyi was a super wealthy woman.

"Were you scared?"

Rong Xiyi laughed playfully.

"Damn capitalism!"

"Hmph!"

After a few more minutes, Xu Lin finally drove them to Brother Hao’s Barbecue.

He could have arrived sooner, but Xu Lin circled around the food court to scout for good eats for future visits, which ended up taking a few extra minutes.

When they arrived outside Brother Hao’s Barbecue, Liu Longsheng’s car had just arrived as well.

First to step out from the passenger seat was Li Sinan. Wearing ultra-short denim shorts, her legs were quite eye-catching.

Her legs were really long, with a good shape — noticeable without stockings, even more so with them.

Liu Longsheng was just about to get out when he saw through the windshield that Xu Lin had arrived, laughing with Rong Xiyi on the small electric scooter.

This put Liu Longsheng in a downright depressed and jealous mood.

Driving such a crappy little scooter, how did he land a gorgeous girl?

He couldn’t figure it out.

Isn’t my E300 better than that lousy scooter?
