Chapter 167 The greater the fame, the more approachable they are.
"What kind of outfit is this? Why are you all dressed like thieves?"
Holy crap!
"A ghost!"
Zhao Zeyang and Chen Xin practically shouted themselves hoarse.
The two were initially focused on the main entrance, but after a while they inevitably became less attentive and each took out their phones to play with them. They would only look up a few times when they heard footsteps.
Neither of them expected that someone would appear silently behind them and speak in a sinister tone.
"Lin Rui!"
"Damn, are you a ghost? You walk without making a sound?"
Looking at his phone, which had slipped and fallen to the ground, especially with the prominent spiderweb-like cracks on the screen, Chen Xin looked pained: "I just replaced the tempered glass screen protector yesterday, and now I'm doomed."
"That's right, Lin Rui. This kind of person can really scare people away. Next time, walk with a little more noise."
Although the phone didn't fall to the ground, Zhao Zeyang was still clutching his chest, his heart heaving violently, looking like he was still shaken.
"It's because you guys are too focused on your phones."
"Alright, stop joking around. Tell me, why aren't you two in your dorm chatting up girls and playing games? What are you doing here so late at night?"
Lin Rui looked at the two troublemakers with annoyance, finding it quite amusing.
Zhao Zeyang and Chen Xin exchanged a glance, their faces breaking into awkward smiles, and the atmosphere became somewhat uncomfortable.
"What's going on with you two? I'm asking you a question, why are you acting like you're still unmarried virgins?"
Two grown men, both perfectly normal and proper, were acting like shy, effeminate girls. Lin Rui almost turned around and left.
It's only been a short time since we last met, and these two have changed so much he almost doesn't recognize them anymore. It's outrageous!
"Never mind, I'll explain it."
Chen Xin also felt that this awkward and hesitant posture was indeed unseemly, and his old face turned red as he said, "It's just that I bragged about it, and now I'm busy trying to make amends."
Zhao Zeyang nodded vigorously beside him: "It's all Xu Zhe's fault. We can't get through to him on his phone, he doesn't reply to messages, and we can't find him anywhere."
Can't get through on the phone?
Is that true?
Lin Rui suspiciously took out his phone and casually dialed Xu Zhe's number.
In less than three seconds, the call was connected. Because it was on speakerphone, Xu Zhe's voice came directly into Chen Xin and Zhao Zeyang's ears.
"Lin Rui, is it urgent? Should we go to your office now?"
Before Lin Rui could speak, Chen Xin couldn't help but chime in.
"You, Xu Zhe, I've been calling you for days, and you not only don't answer, but you don't even reply to my messages."
"What's wrong? Now that you're famous, you've forgotten about us brothers?"
Chen Xin's tone was always aggrieved, as if she were a wronged young woman complaining to her lover.
Considering the desolate atmosphere that Zhao Zeyang and Chen Xin were currently exuding, Lin Rui felt even more certain that it might actually be true!
Xu Zhe on the other end of the phone was also a little confused, and it took him a while to react.
What's going on between you two?
"Didn't I tell you before that I changed my phone number? The new number is still written on a sticky note and stuck on my bedside table in the dorm."
Chen Xin and Zhao Zeyang were stunned for a moment, their faces turning from the frustration of being ruthlessly abandoned to a flushed red as if they wanted to crawl into a hole in the ground.
They've really forgotten about this!
Seemingly sensing Chen Xin and Zhao Zeyang's silence, Xu Zhe decisively changed the subject: "Alright, I see you two. I'm going to take a shower first, and I'll be down in a bit."
Chen Xin and Zhao Zeyang subconsciously looked up and saw a head sticking out of a window in the area seven or eight stories high. Unfortunately, due to the lighting, they couldn't see it clearly, but they were certain it was Xu Zhe.
After ending the call, Lin Rui chatted with Chen Xin and Zhao Zeyang.
Only after asking did I learn that these two scoundrels were now considered prominent figures at the Xiazhou Conservatory of Music.
There's no other reason than that they were roommates of Xu Zhe.
