Chapter 17

Song Luokui went outside and sat for a while, but found there were mosquitoes. So Song Luokui went back to the lobby again. Soothing music was playing in the lobby, with many people dancing in the middle.

People came up wanting to invite Song Luokui to dance, but she declined them all. It was fine after declining. Song Luokui was also asked for her phone number, but she didn't like adding strangers, so she declined again. She felt a little bored in the end, so she sent Wang Sisi and the others a message before going back.

University life was always like that, with classes everyday, and there were associations to join and activities to participate in. There were also all kinds of competitions to sign up for.

Song Luokui wasn't very interested in any of that. Her days were just going to and from class. If she had evening classes that day she would stay at school, otherwise she would go home.

Song Luosheng and Chi Yu were already fourth year students. If they didn't have anything absolutely essential to do, they wouldn't stay at school. But legends about the two of them were still circulating around campus.

Song Luokui could only sigh that he really deserved to be the male lead villain. He had become an outstanding figure among his peers even before graduating. Of course, she was also very proud, after all Song Luosheng was her brother.

Zhang Xiyue was also at Peking University with her, but Zhang Xiyue was in the dance academy while she was in the Chinese literature academy. Their dorms weren't even in the same building. Peking University was so big that they could only occasionally meet up for meals. Usually they didn't even run into each other.

There were many girls in the literature academy. And since Song Luokui kept a low profile, dressed ordinarily, and usually just took the bus home, she didn't stand out at school. She just looked like an ordinary, albeit very beautiful, student.

Wang Sisi seemed to have recently started dating. She would often chat away sweetly on the phone with her boyfriend in their dorm room. According to convention she had to treat everyone in the dorm to a meal together.

Wang Sisi's boyfriend was also a business major like her. He seemed to be from a wealthy family, and had chosen quite an upscale restaurant.

When Song Luokui, Su Ziyuan and Zhang Jingfeng arrived, Wang Sisi and her boyfriend Lin Chen had already gotten there.

"You're here, come on in, order whatever you want," Wang Sisi said, handing them the menu.

Lin Chen sized up his girlfriend's roommates as well. When he saw Song Luokui his eyes widened in surprise, but that was it. He just appreciated her looks and didn't think much of it.

Suddenly he seemed to recall something. He looked Song Luokui up and down again feeling like she resembled someone, but couldn't remember who. Wang Sisi noticed right away and pinched his arm. Her expression had already turned unhappy. Only then did Lin Chen come back to his senses and said with a smile, "Order whatever you want." Then he whispered to Wang Sisi, "It's not what you think. I'll explain later."

Any girl would feel unhappy if her boyfriend was ogling another girl. When Wang Sisi invited her roommates, she was actually a little worried. After all Song Luokui really was gorgeous, everyone acknowledged she was good looking. It seemed she just kept a low profile, and was a bit of a homebody, otherwise word would have already spread.

"Luokui is a local girl. She usually keeps a pretty low profile, wearing ordinary clothes and all that. I think she normally just takes the bus home. We're not in the same major so I'm not familiar with her family circumstances either. Could she be from your social circle too?"

Lin Chen shook his head, "I don't know. I've never seen her in our circle before." If there was such a beauty in their circle, someone probably would have already made a move.

"Maybe she's from another circle then," Lin Chen added.

Wang Sisi asked in puzzlement, "Another circle?"

Lin Chen pointed upwards, "A level higher up, and lower levels too. You'll understand later. Don't worry, I'm certain I didn't act that way because I'm interested in her or anything. You're still the one I like best," he said, then kissed her.

Wang Sisi cheered up a little too. "Alright, let's go pay first."

"Okay."

The meal had cost over 20,000 RMB. It was pocket change to Lin Chen, but still felt expensive to Su Ziyuan and Zhang Jingfeng. At least they got to experience high society a little. Wang Sisi also felt a sense of vanity, and secretly glanced at Song Luokui several times. She discovered Song Luokui seemed totally unfazed. Wang Sisi wondered to herself, could Luokui's family really be loaded too?

After the meal, the five of them walked out of the restaurant. Lin Chen was about to go get his car to drive the four girls back to campus. Just then a car pulled up in front of the restaurant. The attendant at the door went up to receive the guests. The driver opened the door and got out, then went around to open the rear door. A pair of long legs in tailored trousers and leather shoes emerged first, followed by a familiar figure.

Chen Nan also got out from the other side of the car.

Lin Chen instantly burst into great enthusiasm and a radiant smile as he went up, "Senior Chi, Senior Chen, what a coincidence running into you here!"

Chen Nan looked puzzledly at Lin Chen, "You are...?"

Lin Chen quickly introduced himself, "I'm Lin Chen from Lin's Timber Industry. I'm also at Peking University, a second year business major student."

Of course Chen Nan knew of Lin's Timber Industry. The ones he usually saw were the head of the Lins, Lin FeiHong. Chen Nan wasn't very familiar with his sons and daughters. But he still shook Lin Chen's hand, "Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you, nice to meet you!" Realizing Chi Yu and Chen Nan must have business here, Lin Chen didn't dare disturb them further either. "I'll get going first then. You guys must be busy."
