The arts and literature department's activity was not arranged at school, but at the four-star hotel that Lin Ruoyan took Lin Chen to that night!
As Lin Chen and Ning Jiaqi walked through the gate, the security guards who had carried Lin Chen to Lin Ruoyan's room once again cast envious, jealous, and hateful glances at him. They silently cursed Lin Chen, hoping he would suffer from "kidney deficiency" tonight!
In the hotel lobby, a young man in a black tuxedo sat at the piano. He wore white gloves, and his face remained expressionless. As his nimble fingers danced across the keys, melodious and lively notes echoed throughout the hall. When the piece ended, the crowd erupted in enthusiastic applause.
However, in Lin Chen's eyes, this young man was a bit like Tom the cat from "Tom and Jerry" who could play the piano! He couldn't help but mutter to himself: He really acted that pretentious act!
Although this gathering was an internal event of the Arts and Literature Department, the location was chosen to be the most luxurious four-star hotel in the vicinity because the department head's family was well-off and it was also a recruitment party for new students, with many junior students attending.
Although it was just a small gathering of the Literature and Art Department, there were quite a few people, more than thirty in total. Some people even brought their "family members," like Ning Jiaqi.
Due to the large number of people, the regular private rooms were not enough to accommodate everyone, so the event had to be held in the main hall. The fact that Haizhou University has far more female than male students was vividly demonstrated here. Out of more than thirty people, there were only seven boys; the rest were all beautiful women.
Of the seven boys, four were quite good-looking, which is close to half. The other three, while not exceptionally handsome, were still pleasing to the eye. As for the girls, they were all stunningly beautiful, each displaying their own unique charm.
They all put in a lot of effort for this party; some even spent a month's living expenses just to buy a nice dress; others spent more than three hours just getting their hair done. Not to mention Ning Jiaqi, who spent an entire afternoon on makeup, making her even more stunning.
In university clubs, this small social circle, everyone is secretly competing, and no one wants to be outdone by those around them. However, some people are born with advantages that are hard to match, and Ning Jiaqi is one such person.
She was naturally beautiful, and with her hard work, whenever she appeared at club activities, she instantly overshadowed all the other girls. There was one girl who could barely compete with her, but that girl happened to be a lesbian, which further solidified Ning Jiaqi's position in the club.
When Ning Jiaqi walked into the event, almost all the boys couldn't help but turn their attention to her. Today, she wore a blue mini-skirt paired with an elegant cardigan and white casual sneakers, exuding youthful style and adding a touch of warmth to the otherwise somewhat subdued environment. Of course, this seemingly casual outfit shouldn't be underestimated; it represented several months' living expenses for an average person.
Under everyone's gaze, Ning Jiaqi's expression remained aloof, giving off an aura of sacred inviolability.
Unlike Ning Jiaqi's aloofness, Yang Meixi's outfit today was exceptionally sexy. She wore denim shorts, black stockings, and high heels, paired with a low-cut top and a short-sleeved vest, aiming for a sexy and sophisticated look. However, only Lin Chen knew that this seemingly alluringly sexy young woman was actually a master of seduction!
"Why are you here?" Yang Meixi seemed surprised to see Lin Chen.
“Meixi, Lin Chen came with me,” Ning Jiaqi explained to Lin Chen.
"Jiaqi, look at Huang Zitao, isn't he handsome? He sings well too, and he can even do street dance. He'd be a great choice as a boyfriend." Yang Meixi said, deliberately pushing aside Lin Chen next to Ning Jiaqi, and introducing him to her in front of everyone.
Lin Chen naturally understood her intention; she simply wanted to deliberately disgust him.
"And then there's Guo Xiaosi. He's not very tall, but he's really good at basketball! He's nicknamed 'Little Potato,' and a lot of girls at school have a crush on him. Plus, he can protect you when you're walking down the street. Look, he's looking at you right now!" Yang Meixi continued.
However, Lin Chen retorted without hesitation: "Good heavens, that guy is a head shorter than Jiaqi, and he wants to protect Jiaqi? He wants to play basketball? Isn't he afraid someone will beat his basketball?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Meixi turned her head and glared fiercely at Lin Chen, then grabbed Ning Jiaqi's arm and continued to recommend her: "If you want to find someone tall, there are plenty of options. Wang Erbo is also a good choice for a boyfriend. He plays the piano so well, he's 1.85 meters tall, and he's usually very gentlemanly."
Ning Jiaqi naturally understood her thoughts and gave a helpless wry smile. Lin Chen continued, "He is indeed quite a gentleman. This guy hasn't shown a single expression so far. If you didn't know better, you'd think he had facial paralysis!" This remark made Ning Jiaqi chuckle.
Seeing this, Yang Meixi turned green with anger! She retorted angrily, "Lin Chen, what right do you have to mock others? Do you think you're so great?"
Lin Chen replied nonchalantly, "Whether I'm good or not is none of your business, you lace witch's judgment. Jiaqi, let's go." With that, he pushed Yang Meixi aside and stretched out his arm to Ning Jiaqi.
Just then, a boy walked over and sat in the empty seat next to Yang Meixi. Lin Chen looked closely and realized it was the same "Talking Tom" who had been sitting at the piano earlier! For some reason, seeing him made Lin Chen feel incredibly uncomfortable! He had no choice but to go to the restroom first.
Wang Erbo, as the head of the Literature and Art Department, possesses a tall and handsome figure of 1.85 meters, and his silver glasses exude a refined and dashing air. He exchanged a glance with Yang Meixi, already having made up his mind.
It turned out that Yang Meixi had already spoken to him, intending to help him pursue Ning Jiaqi! Of course, Yang Meixi didn't really want to give Ning Jiaqi to Wang Erbo. Just like Lin Chen, she simply wanted to annoy Lin Chen!
While Lin Chen went to the restroom, Wang Erbo approached Ning Jiaqi with his expressionless smile and asked softly in a natural and elegant manner, "Jiaqi, may I sit here?" His smile was so stiff that it gave anyone a headache.
Ning Jiaqi glanced at him, then quickly scanned Yang Meixi beside her, immediately understanding what was going on. Without hesitation, she replied, "Sorry, this position is already taken." She didn't offer Wang Erbo, this "expressionless" minister, any special treatment.
