Given that Aquaman was tugging at Lin Xiao's clothes and making sarcastic remarks, it was hard for Lin Xiao to ignore him.
So he subconsciously looked over.
Their eyes met those of the fairy-like Bai Youyou.
The other person's gaze was indeed somewhat strange, as if they recognized him.
Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows and made a "what's wrong?" expression.
At this moment, Bai Youyou's tall and strong roommate finished getting the food and called out to her. Only then did Bai Youyou come to her senses, and the two of them left together.
Aquaman kept recording the video until Bai Youyou's figure was blocked by others, at which point he clicked to save it.
"Xiaozai, you didn't seize such a good opportunity just now. If Bai Xiaohua had given me even a second glance, I definitely would have shamelessly rushed in!" Haiwang sighed in a tone of exasperation.
He was calling me Brother Xiao just now, but he's been demoted again.
Lin Xiao smiled indifferently, "She must have mistaken me for someone else."
"Who cares if she mistook me for someone else? If we don't have a chance, we'll create one. Besides, the opportunity is right in front of us, so we definitely have to seize it!" the Sea King continued to talk his way out of things.
Bird Brother said, "Ah Xiao is different from us."
"What's the difference?" Aquaman retorted, unconvinced.
Bird Brother said earnestly, "If our Ah Xiao wanted to fall in love, it would be a piece of cake."
"As for the school beauty, she looks like she's not easy to pursue."
"You should know that before Bai Xiaohua, the top of the four campus beauties of Jiangda University was Chu Yingying, a senior student who completed her undergraduate and master's degree in the Department of Medicine, who held the top spot for six consecutive years."
"I heard from Daqiang in the next dorm that there's a guy in their School of Economics and Management who's a super rich second-generation. He delivers roses and expensive breakfasts to Chu Yingying's dorm every day, rain or shine, for three whole years. And to this day, he hasn't even managed to get her to go out with him once!"
"Why should our Ah Xiao suffer that pain? It's not worth it to rush into something like this."
Bird Brother raised his index finger to adjust his frameless glasses and concluded his remarks.
"Brother Bird is absolutely right." Lin Xiao nodded in agreement.
He suddenly thought of something, and his eyes flickered.
Could the new Chu Yingying I added to my phone be that same Chu Yingying?!
Really? Really?
But Jiangda University is only so big, what are the chances of having the same name?
The thought of bodyguard Dali's words, "Don't worry, it won't be delayed," made Lin Xiao's mind go blank, and he became even more certain of his guess.
So he silently deleted the text in the chat box that he hadn't yet sent.
Oh, she's the school beauty queen. Oh, never mind then.
She'll probably forget about it soon.
It's just a passing fancy now. She's upset that he added her on his own initiative, but he didn't fawn over her like other guys, making her feel neglected and causing her some discomfort.
The Sea King was momentarily speechless, then stammered, "Are all these school beauties really that hard to pursue?"
“Of course!” Bird Bro replied.
"Sigh! That's true. Forget about ice queens like Bai Xiaohua, even the average-looking girls in our class are hard to get!" The playboy suddenly slumped down like a defeated dog. "My parents are counting on me to find them a wife in college, and I'm already a senior. My youth has been wasted!"
Bird Bro deeply agreed, patted Aquaman on the shoulder, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"Hey, it's our turn!"
The spicy chicken did not disappoint Lin Xiao. After the meal, the three of them went to the school supermarket to buy some fruit, instant noodles and snacks.
Then we went to the playground to run laps together.
Neptune started running after three laps, Bird Brother persisted for eight laps, and Lin Xiao ran fifteen laps before the three of them returned to the dormitory together.
Bird Brother grabbed his pajamas and rushed into the bathroom, saying, "Kids, your godfather will shower first!"
Haiwang and Lin Xiao walked behind, neither of them paying attention.
Suddenly, the Sea King reached out and touched Lin Xiao through his wet sports shirt. "Xiao-zai, let your godfather feel how many abs you have?"
Lin Xiao dodged the playboy's groping hand and laughed, "Don't you dare touch me! My six-pack abs are only for my future wife to touch."
"Hey! You haven't even seen a hair on the girl's head, but Xiao Zai has kept himself pure, huh?" the Sea King said sarcastically.
Lin Xiao smiled without saying a word, but then a shadow of gloom flashed in his peach blossom eyes as he thought of something.
"Tell your godfather how you got those abs?" Aquaman persisted.
Lin Xiao ignored him and casually said, "Watch your diet, exercise more, eat more high-protein foods, and keep practicing planks, Russian twists, sit-ups, or dumbbell presses, squats, and jump rope. Your abs will gradually develop."
Aquaman roared, "Then just let me die of fatness!"
After a moment of silence, Neptune said seriously, "No, I think you're right. I want to learn from you! To be a self-disciplined man! Exercise makes me self-disciplined, and self-discipline makes me free."
So Aquaman took Lin Xiao's dumbbells, asked him for instructions on the exercises, and then did fifty sets in one go.
He looked at himself in the full-length mirror, sweating profusely, grinned, and thought he had indeed become more handsome.
After taking a shower, Lin Xiao began to draw.
Chu Yingying sent another message, which sounded like an ultimatum.
[Lin Xiao, right? A senior in Computer Science, Class 1? Living in Room 808, Building 8? If you don't say anything, I'll come down to your dorm and yell at you through a megaphone!]
Lin Xiao was so focused on drawing that he put his phone on silent mode and turned it upside down on the table, so he missed it completely.
The only sounds in room 808 were the faint noises made by everyone as they went about their business.
Sudden.
Aquaman, holding his phone, exclaimed in surprise, "Holy crap!"
