Chapter 679: Chapter 343: Brother Wolf?
After Lin Beichen finished his classes, his life returned to the peaceful rhythm of a student.
The outside bustle was shielded by the academic affairs office of Huadu University, and the results of applying to the research group wouldn’t come out quickly either.
The research on Life Essence had already alarmed the higher-ups, so the members of the research group needed to not only be capable but also have a sufficiently clean background.
The official stance was not to compete with the private sector for funds; the investigation was strict yet maintained one bottom line, ensuring that there was no suspicion of spies among the applicants.
Not long after Lin Beichen returned to school, it was time for the dorm’s fourth group dinner.
After spending this time together, Lin Beichen had become familiar with the dorm.
Undoubtedly, the center and link of the dorm was Liu Yunxi.
Though he was a wealthy young man, he was very approachable and always generous.
While Lin Beichen didn’t consider himself a typical student, he thoroughly enjoyed this atmosphere.
Liu Yunxi had a lot of money and was very willing to spend it, especially in front of Yu Mengjie, always trying to play the role of the perfect boyfriend.
Because of this, he managed to win Yu Mengjie’s heart in just a day, and they were not just playing around. Since the beginning of the school year, their relationship had grown hotter, seemingly glued together.
Huadu had many entertainment venues, but if asked about the most luxurious place, it was naturally the Star Avenue located at Phoenix Lake.
This place was in the financial district, extremely luxurious, with luxury cars as common as a vegetable market, and beautiful women like a downpour, impossible to take in all at once.
"The Night Color Bar, rumored to be an investment by a big shot in Huadu, guarantees genuine drinks and exceptional security, with the only downside being the high cost. As long as you behave and don’t cause trouble, it’s the best place,"
Liu Yunxi said with a smile as the lobby manager walked over, nodded at him, and led him to the sofa.
Tonight’s networking event was the main event.
The girls had been looking forward to it for a while, and they were all dressed to the nines for tonight.
With delicate makeup and sexy clothes, their long, exposed legs always attracted heated gazes.
Nobody could have guessed that these four beautiful and sexy girls were top students at Huadu University.
Among the four girls, Yuan Yanan was the most sensual.
Usually, Yuan Yanan always had a cold face, earning the title of ice beauty, but today she dressed exceptionally boldly.
She wore a crystal camisole on her upper body, exposing her snow-white, delicate skin, a black sexy mini skirt on the lower body, bold strap high heels on her feet, and dazzling diamond accessories, exuding a cold and sexy yet queenly demeanor.
Compared to these four sexy beauties, among Lin Beichen’s group, apart from the bright and shiny Liu Yunxi, the others were difficult to describe.
Wei Jingsong, trying to look cool, deliberately bought a pair of Black Dragon glasses. The thousands-of-yuan sunglasses did look cool, but in the dim environment of the Night Color Bar, wearing sunglasses made him look rather foolish.
Chen Fangzhi, holding a book, sat down on the sofa and started writing and drawing continuously, seemingly unaffected by the loud music around, treating it as a school study room.
As for Lin Beichen, he still wore his usual comfortable and sloppy casual wear, neither fitted nor flattering, exuding a "my own way" attitude.
"Tonight we won’t leave until we’re drunk; I’ve already paid, so don’t let my money go to waste,"
said Liu Yunxi with a wave of his hand as various fine wines were brought to the table.
Brandy, whiskey, pure white spirits, wine, and various fruit wines nearly filled the entire booth.
The most extravagant was Su Manni; without waiting for Liu Yunxi to speak, she grabbed a bottle and finished it in a few gulps.
Seeing Su Manni drinking, Wei Jingsong gritted his teeth, picked up a bottle to accompany her, but couldn’t even finish a bottle before running to the restroom holding his stomach.
Liu Yunxi grinned mischievously, leaving the scene to the others, and took Yu Mengjie outside to meet friends.
Liu Yunxi’s purpose of attending school was simple: to have fun and make friends. Academic matters were never in his consideration.
Since the beginning of the school year, he had hardly attended a full class, always either making friends with various people or causing a ruckus at various entertainment venues.
During this time, he had met many social figures from Huadu, and tonight with Yu Mengjie by his side, he was even more eager to cause trouble. He wanted to show off and introduce Yu Mengjie to them.
Yu Mengjie, following beside Liu Yunxi, was very excited.
Yan Fuya, as soon as she sat down, immediately leaned towards Chen Fangzhi, holding a wine glass carefully, her attitude ambiguous, her body wriggling, clearly intending to make a move on him.
Throughout the room, only Lin Beichen sat there like a wooden post. No matter who tried to make him drink, he just smiled faintly, neither taking the drink nor speaking, like a block of wood.
At first, Su Manni teased Lin Beichen, but seeing that he was unmoved, she rolled her eyes and started drinking by herself.
Surprisingly, Yuan Yanan, perhaps because they were often paired up during gatherings and neither talked much, initially looked down on Lin Beichen. But in these social settings, she found Lin Beichen’s personality most comfortable.
Just playing along wasn’t her thing, but Lin Beichen knew his boundaries, and being a block of wood, chatting with him was a good way to pass the time without responsibilities or the worry of him falling for her charms, making him the perfect partner for these gatherings.
