Chapter 113
The person in front of her not only didn’t remember her, but he had even forgotten himself.
It was as if helping her was merely a trivial act, devoid of any other emotions.
Such a person was easy to be around; at least for now, Lin Wan Ning felt quite comfortable.
“I’m Lin Wan Ning. What about you?”
“Long Ao Tian.” Long Ao Tian nodded, then looked at her in disbelief. “What did you say your name was?”
Lin Wan Ning was puzzled by Long Ao Tian’s sudden excitement, but she replied earnestly, “Lin Wan Ning.”
“The Lin Wan Ning from the music department?”
“Yeah, that’s right. How did you know I’m from the music department?” Lin Wan Ning nodded; it wasn’t exactly a secret.
Long Ao Tian smiled.
Lin Wan Ning didn’t know why Long Ao Tian knew her name and department, but she found it amusing.
However, she wasn’t put off; on the contrary, she felt a bit curious. “What’s up?”
“Nothing, just thinking how small and wonderful this world is!”
Lin Wan Ning couldn’t help but lower her gaze, her ears slightly reddening beneath her hair.
Though she had never been in a relationship, she had certainly heard phrases like “the world is small, let’s meet, and fate is wonderful, let’s be together...” before.
“How can you say something like that?” Lin Wan Ning’s voice was cool, yet soft, almost enchanting.
“Sorry, I got a bit carried away. I saw you at that restaurant earlier. Were you with friends?”
“Yeah, I was with my three roommates.” Hearing Long Ao Tian apologize, Lin Wan Ning didn’t really mind.
“Then let’s go over. I just happened to come here with my roommates too.”
“Okay.”
Long Ao Tian walked ahead, glancing back at Lin Wan Ning following him, and couldn’t help but think of Hu Yu Ying, his little sidekick.
The little sidekick was like a little tail...
So he slowed his pace.
Lin Wan Ning hadn’t expected Long Ao Tian to walk so fast; she was almost falling behind when she suddenly noticed he had slowed down and hurried to catch up.
Lin Wan Ning wouldn’t forget the help she received just because of a few words from Long Ao Tian.
In the situation yesterday, if Long Ao Tian hadn’t stepped in to help her, and that bottle had hit her, she didn’t think she could withstand it like he did. She would have just ended up with some bruises and scrapes...
The key was, if he had said something hurtful to humiliate her, her reputation would have been ruined...
As they entered the restaurant, Huang Fei, Li Long Long, and Xu Shuai were stunned, glancing at Long Ao Tian and the cool, stunning girl beside him, their mouths agape.
“Did this guy just pull off something big without a sound?”
“No way, as the three kings of romance, we haven’t even made a move, and he’s already got her?”
“Ahem, so, Long Ao, who’s this?”
Long Ao Tian looked at Lin Wan Ning. “This is Lin Wan Ning from the music department.”
He continued, “These three are my roommates; you probably met them last night.”
“Last night?” The three of them paused for a moment, then suddenly realized, their eyes widening as they exchanged glances.
Basically, it was like, “Damn, if I had known, I would have stepped up last night. Isn’t this just a classic hero saving the beauty?”
Lin Wan Ning merely nodded. With no smile on her face, she always gave off a faint sense of detachment.
Plus, with their furtive glances, although she had grown accustomed to it over the years and didn’t feel too offended, she still disliked feeling like a product being appraised.
So she turned to Long Ao Tian and said, “Remember to apply the ointment twice a day; it’ll heal quickly and won’t leave a scar. I... I’ll head over first.”
“Okay, see you.”
Lin Wan Ning hesitated for a moment. Long Ao Tian noticed her hesitation and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Hearing this, Lin Wan Ning’s ears turned slightly red. She fidgeted with her fingers and finally said softly, “Can I add you on QQ?”
Long Ao Tian was taken aback for a moment, wondering what made this girl so conflicted.
After pulling out his phone and adding her, Lin Wan Ning looked at the new contact on her QQ, her previously cold demeanor softening a bit as she quietly said, “Thank you.”
Without waiting for anything else, she hurried back to the room where her roommates were.
“Hey, did you lose your soul?” Long Ao Tian looked at the three of them, who were still in shock, and waved his hand in front of their faces.
He recalled how they had confidently promised to help him find a girlfriend.
Yet, while they still had no idea about the girl’s contact information, he had already been added by a cool campus goddess.
The key was, she had asked to add him herself!!!
“Father, please accept our bow...”
Chapter 137: Anticipating This Day
Looking at the ointment in Long Ao Tian’s hand, the three of them were pounding their chests in frustration. “This is definitely a classic hero saving the beauty! Damn, if I had stepped in back then, the music department goddess would be mine now!”
“Next time, promise me, if something like this happens again, let me handle it!”
Long Ao Tian couldn’t help but laugh at their antics. “You guys are being ridiculous. We just officially met; we’re not even friends yet.”
He had helped Lin Wan Ning, and while he thought it was just a small act of kindness, he didn’t expect anything in return.
But if Lin Wan Ning really brushed it off, it wouldn’t matter much.
On the contrary, her actions made Long Ao Tian think that at least the person he helped had a decent character and wasn’t as cold as she appeared.
“You’re just being sour grapes after tasting the grapes. With that looks and that cool, ethereal aura, she’s not just a goddess of the music department; calling her the campus flower wouldn’t be an exaggeration. Do you understand the value of a campus flower?”
“If I could get added by such a cool campus flower, I’d consider my life worth it!”
“Exactly! Being added by a cool campus flower, I could walk sideways at T University!”
“You guys really don’t seem like the romantic types at all,” Long Ao Tian joked.
Though they had only known each other for two days, the bond between guys felt like a rocket launch, especially since he had already called them “father.” Who cared about the details?
“We were just joking around, haha...”
“But I think A Fei’s ten core theories of romance aren’t just hot air.”
Originally, Huang Fei wanted to say he was still a pure little virgin and was just pretending to be cool.
But upon hearing this, he immediately sat up straight, a calm smile on his face. “The ten core theories of romance are just the beginning; I could create a hundred more in the future.”
Laughter filled the air; this kind of life was actually quite enjoyable.
And during their time together, Long Ao Tian could clearly feel his mindset becoming younger.
Meeting new people, gathering for a meal, having a drink, and boasting a little—it was nice...
...
“Wan Ning, where did you go just now?” As soon as Lin Wan Ning returned to the small room, her friends crowded around her, giggling and asking.
“I... I just went out to buy something.” Lin Wan Ning slightly leaned back, feeling the mischievous smiles on their faces, and spoke softly.
“Really~~” The girls laughed, but their drawn-out tones clearly showed their disbelief.
“Really, really.” Lin Wan Ning insisted, as she had indeed just gone out to buy some ointment.
“But we saw you come in with a handsome guy...” One of the girls said, glancing outside the room.
Following her gaze, Lin Wan Ning spotted Long Ao Tian joking with his roommates.
“Oh my gosh, you guys were only gone for less than ten minutes, and our cool campus flower has already fallen for him...”
“N-no, he’s just the guy who helped me last night.” Realizing what they were implying, Lin Wan Ning hurriedly explained.
But the moment she said that, her friends’ eyes lit up.
“Did you add each other on QQ?”
Seeing their relentless curiosity, Lin Wan Ning lowered her gaze and gently nodded. “Yeah, I did.”
Even though this was something that happened to Lin Wan Ning, her friends reacted with more excitement than she did.
“Did he ask to add you?”
