Liu Meiqi blushed as she never expected that Lin Huai actually remembered to buy her a gift. In fact, the value of the gift was not of utmost importance, but Lin Huai’s thoughtfulness. She would appreciate whatever gift she got from Lin Huai because after all, this was the first gift from him.
Filled with hope, Liu Meiqi accepted the gift, thereafter she was startled upon opening it.
“What’s in there?” Everyone else started twittering.
“Meiqi, what’s with the face? Is the gift so shabby that it stunned you?”
“Sigh, he’s just an employee at the pub, so of course he won’t be able to afford a luxurious gift. Lin Huai, it’s not that I’m picking on you, but you’re not in the same league as Meiqi. Honestly, I think Meiqi and Brother Hang would be a perfect match.”
Liu Meiqi took a deep breath and took out the shining diamond necklace from the gift box. Wide-eyed in amazement, everyone gasped and kept their mouths shut when t
All of a sudden, Qiu Yuhang burst into laughter and sniggered, “Meiqi, you sure have good taste in finding a boyfriend. Initially, I didn’t want to say this, but I think it’s better for you to break up with him. It doesn’t matter if a man is poor, but it is most displeasing for a man to lack dignity, not to mention that he’s prideful and loves to boast.”Liu Meiqi’s expression turned cold and she bellowed, “Don’t you comment on Brother Huai!” Qiu Yuhang snorted. “The most I could do is to ask for an autograph, yet he is thinking to ask Wu Mo over and even make him drink a toast! Who does he think he is?”As upset as Liu Meiqi was to hear criticisms about Lin Huai, she could not rebuke Qiu Yuhang either. She, too, thought that it would be impossible for Lin Huai to get Wu Mo over. Even though Lin Huai was a gangster, he had no connections with showbiz. Furthermore, Lin Huai’s influence was only limited to Chengbei District, and Wu Mo was not ev
As soon as Lin Huai stepped out of the room, Mao Xinyue sneered, “Liu Meiqi, all your boyfriend knows how to do is boast. He’s just a worker at the pub, so how would it be possible for him to invite Wu Mo over? I won’t be surprised if he is a male prostitute in nightclubs, and he might just bootlick Wu Mo.”While a few of the classmates burst into laughter upon hearing these words, the rest remained silent as a courtesy to Liu Meiqi. As much as they agreed that Lin Huai had made a ridiculous brag, Mao Xinyue’s comment about him being a bootlicker was indeed too much.Suddenly, Liu Meiqi stood up and walked briskly toward Mao Xinyue. Panic flashed across Mao Xinyue’s face and she babbled, “Wh-What do you want?”Slap! Slap!Grabbing Mao Xinyue’s hair, Liu Meiqi gave her two slaps in the face.Dumbfounded, it was only then Mao Xinyue recalled that Liu Meiqi was a well-known girl gangster. She had nearly forgotten how scar
Qiu Yuhang’s expression was unpleasant to see. He sucked in a deep breath as he stood up and said stiffly, “I admit defeat. Liu Meiqi, I still have other matters to attend to, so bye for now.”Everyone else looked at Qiu Yuhang in sympathy. After that blow earlier, he didn’t have the nerve to stay and eat.Seeing Qiu Yuhang about to leave, Lin Huai suddenly smiled, his eyes crinkling. “Don’t be in such a hurry. You haven’t fulfilled the terms of the bet since you’ve lost to me.”Qiu Yuhang’s expression shifted as he coldly asked, “I already admitted that I lost. What else do you want?”“That’s right, Lin Huai. Gotta let bygones be bygones,” said a man who was on close terms with Qiu Yuhang.Qiu Yuhang looked at Lin Huai with a venomous gaze. “Even though I did lose to you, you shouldn’t get carried away. You’re just a regular worker. I don’t know what kind of lucky streak you were on earlier, but at any rate, you’re no
Seeing that Wang Zhengyang called the man Brother Huai, Qiu Yuhang was stupefied; so did everyone else, for they suddenly remembered that the red cane from Thunder Gang who currently garnered the most attention in Chengbei District was also called Lin Huai. They had never treated the two Lin Huais as the same person, for they thought the two of them merely had the same name. However, if the two of them merely had the same name, why would Wang Zhengyang address a nightclub worker with such respect? Qiu Yuhang could feel his calves shaking. He came from a family of businessmen who never went beyond their bounds and had no influence in the underworld. Even though they befriended gang leaders like Wang Zhengyang, they never regarded the latter as their close associates, for their relationships with the latter were strictly pecuniary.To Qiu Yuhang and his family, members of the underworld were a presence that they should avoid at all costs, which was why he wa
Dao Zi drove the car calmly at the front while Lin Huai and Liu Meiqi were kissing in the back seat. The two of them were locked in an embrace as they kept kissing each other. If it weren’t that they were inside this car and that Dao Zi was present as well, it would have been difficult to imagine what else they would have done.Liu Meiqi’s breathing became a little heavy. Just then, the car started bumping as it drove into the basement parking lot. Liu Meiqi’s face blushed as she parted from Lin Huai, compelling the latter to tease with a chuckle, “So you can blush, huh?”“Bah! Why can’t I blush? You’re talking like I’m not a girl.”Lin Huai laughed before saying, “Who doesn’t know about you, Fairy Qi of Yulan College? You’re famous for staying chaste despite being courted by many.”Liu Meiqi responded coquettishly, “Well, I didn’t know you yet back then.”Lin Huai smiled as a warm feeling of happiness surged through h
Lin Huai took Liu Meiqi into the cinema. As they seated themselves in the cinema, the movie temporarily soothed Liu Meiqi, who had been visibly shaken because of the failed assassination attempt just now.It was already past 8.00PM when they finished watching the movie. Lin Huai suggested with a smile, “Let me send you home first.”“Well… I’d like to make out with you in a hotel room.”Sh*t, thought Lin Huai to himself as he was instantly seized by a fiery desire. I’m a simple, upright, and outstanding young man, but don’t I have no choice other than to agree to such a request from a lady? Won’t I spoil her mood on her birthday if I refuse?Lin Huai cleared his throat before saying, “Normally speaking, I think—”Seeing that Lin Huai was about to say a bunch of nonsense again, Liu Meiqi quickly interrupted, “Do you want to do so?”“Yes, I do!” Lin Huai blurted almost without hesitation.Liu Mei
Wei Qimian had heard Lin Huai saying that he had studied all his university’s lessons. But since he was, after all, only a year older than her, she didn’t quite believe that he had mastered all his university curriculum thoroughly.However, when she truly let Lin Huai do the exercises, she was shocked to find that Lin Huai answered all the questions with an accuracy rate of 100 percent, which couldn’t be achieved even by the best student in her class. Perhaps no one else other than the teacher who designed the questions could answer them with such accuracy. Forget failing the exam—even obtaining the highest score in his class would be a piece of cake for him.Seeing the look of shock on Wei Qimian’s face, Lin Huai couldn’t help but ask smugly, “How is it? Don’t you think that your man is actually pretty good at studies?”The feeling of shock within Wei Qimian was shown on her face, but she remained stubborn on the outside. She said with a snort
While Wei Qimian entered the kitchen to assist Li Liner in preparing lunch, Lin Huai did some extracurricular reading alone. To him, there really wasn’t much of the knowledge taught in college that was worth studying. Nevertheless, it was nice to cultivate his mind and shape his values by reading extracurricular books regularly. He wasn’t selective in his reading; besides traditional literature, he read online novels and even comic books.For instance, the books he had read recently included ‘Drawing Sword’ and ‘The Fantastic Physician,’ whereas the comic book series he had read lately included ‘The King of Fighters’ and ‘Naruto.’ For a person who spent most of his time on the verge of death, the most important thing other than staying alert at all times was to be able to adjust one’s state of mind whenever they wanted by giving vent to their emotions. One mustn’t be so tense at all times; instead, they should be able to either tense up or relax when needed. Having a on
