Chapter 023: Meeting Ouyang Huihui Again
Luo Ziling wasn't too interested in chatting on the phone, even when the other party claimed to be a beauty.
On the internet, no one knew if you were chatting with a human or a dog, a message he had seen one day said.
So when the person sent over a photo of a beautiful woman in profile, it didn't give him any particular feeling.
While he was chatting on WeChat, his roommates came back and brought him food, so he stopped chatting with the other person.
"Boss, are you done with your stuff?" Cao Jianhui leaned against Luo Ziling while he wolfed down his food, "What big thing did you go to do?"
"It was very important," Luo Ziling couldn't possibly tell his roommates about going to cancel an engagement, so he vaguely replied, "The matter is done, now I can stay in school with peace of mind."
"Military training starts tomorrow, how about going out tonight to have some fun? Singing karaoke?" Cao Jianhui said, standing up and speaking cheerfully to the other three, "Brothers, let's go sing. I'll treat you, how about that? Let's enjoy ourselves before classes begin!"
Li Fuming and Wu Longjiang immediately cheered, but Luo Ziling wasn't too enthusiastic.
"Let's go, all of us together," seeing Luo Ziling wasn't keen on going, Cao Jianhui pulled him up, "If you don't go, that means you don't give me face."
Luo Ziling had no choice but to follow them.
"Boss, why don't you want to go sing?" Cao Jianhui seemed a bit unhappy with Luo Ziling's earlier refusal, and couldn't help but to ask as they walked out of the apartment building, "You don't come when invited to eat, and you're reluctant to go sing, don't you want to give me face?"
"I really had something going on this afternoon, otherwise I would definitely have followed you for some free food and drink," Luo Ziling hurriedly explained, "The reason I don't want to go sing is that I don't know how to sing, I've never sung in a karaoke before. I'm afraid I would kill your vibe."
"What's the big deal," Cao Jianhui felt much better after Luo Ziling's explanation, and he patted Luo Ziling's shoulder hard, full of bravado, "If you can't sing, just shout anything, it's just us guys, and there are no girls around, even if you sing like a drake, nobody will say anything. Brothers, am I right?"
Wu Longjiang and Li Fuming immediately joined the commotion, and Luo Ziling didn't say anything, having made up his mind to just listen and not sing later.
Heading out to the karaoke together, apart from Luo Ziling, the other three guys were still pretty excited, chatting loudly about some of the fun incidents that occurred after they reported to school. As they talked, they came to the topic of pretty girls, including beautiful senior students from before they arrived and the attractive new freshmen girls.
Cao Jianhui somehow had obtained information about all these gossipy matters, and spoke with great authority. He knew a fair bit about the famous beauties at Yanjing University, even listing details about some of the pretty freshmen.
"You know what? Last year's sophomore Yang Qingyin, everyone acknowledges her as Yan University's most beautiful campus belle," Cao Jianhui said with a mysterious face to his three buddies, "Not only is she beautiful and has a great figure, but she's also talented in arts. It's said that she's skilled in all arts including music, chess, painting, and calligraphy, as well as quite good at dancing. Many boys want to court her, but not one has caught her eye. It seems that her family background is also extraordinary, no one dares to provoke her."
"Number Two, do you have her photo?" Wu Longjiang and Li Fuming's interest was piqued, and Li Fuming asked Cao Jianhui with drooling face, "I've also heard about her, this school belle Yang Qingyin, really want to see just how beautiful she is."
Hearing what Cao Jianhui said, Luo Ziling also became interested in this Yanjing University campus belle named Yang Qingyin.
"Wait a couple of days, and I'll definitely get my hands on a clear, uncensored photo of her," Cao Jianhui confidently patted his chest, "I even plan to pursue her, huh, back in the day, getting a school belle was just in the palm of my hand, you guys, you have to help me out!"
The self-praise from Cao Jianhui immediately resulted in jeers from Wu Longjiang and Li Fuming, saying Cao Jianhui was a toad lusting after a swan's flesh. With his burly physique and a face full of acne, they said he should save it and not humiliate himself by hitting on the great school belle Yang.
But Cao Jianhui was completely unconcerned and kept arrogantly blowing his own trumpet.
"Hey, there's a beauty over there," just as the four guys reached the university's gate, while talking and keeping an eye on their surroundings, Cao Jianhui suddenly shouted excitedly, "That girl is really hot, let's go have a look!"
Including Luo Ziling, the other three boys immediately followed Cao Jianhui's hand and looked over.
Indeed, on the same side of the street ahead of them, a tall girl accompanied by several boys, walks towards the school entrance with a few other girls.
Luo Ziling, with his sharp eyes, immediately recognized the pretty girl, which instantly gave him a headache.
The beautiful girl, standing out in the crowd like a crane among chickens with her pleasant appearance and tall figure, was none other than Ouyang Huihui, with whom he had several disputes.
The last time they met, Ouyang Huihui had been wearing sunglasses and sitting in a sports car, so Cao Jianhui and the others did not recognize her as the girl in the sports car they had had an altercation with that day.
Seeing that Cao Jianhui wanted to go over to greet her, Luo Ziling quickly advised, "She's surrounded by so many boys, let's not join the hubbub."
"The most important thing about picking up girls is to be bold but attentive, thick-skinned, and also what's in your wallet. I'll show you guys my flirting skills," Cao Jianhui ignored Luo Ziling's advice, strode forward, and smilingly greeted Ouyang Huihui, who was talking to the tall boy next to her: "Hello, beauty. My name is Cao Jianhui, a freshman in Clinical Medicine Class One, could I have your phone number?"
Indeed, Cao Jianhui was extraordinarily bold, daring to ask for a phone number from a stranger beauty in front of so many people. Luo Ziling believed he couldn't do it.
Not only were his three buddies stunned by Cao Jianhui's move, but the boys around Ouyang Huihui were also shocked.
They couldn't believe someone would be so bold as to greet the goddess in their hearts, especially since Ouyang Huihui was usually surrounded by them, like stars around the moon.
Cao Jianhui's audacity also took Ouyang Huihui by surprise.
Ouyang Huihui was very angry today. Luo Ziling had come to break off their engagement, embarrassing her sister and herself, even touching her chest, plus she'd been scolded by her grandfather. Not being allowed to drive her sports car and having to live at the school deprived her of some privileges made her feel murderous.
Although Ouyang Feifei said something about Luo Ziling that aroused her curiosity, which slightly calmed her down, she was still fuming, her anger because of Luo Ziling not yet fully dissipated.
After Luo Ziling left the Ouyang Family's villa, Ouyang Huihui was also kicked out by her grandfather and drove a MINI back to school.
Upon returning to school, the vexed Ouyang Huihui encountered Li Jiaqing, a senior who came looking for her.
Ouyang Huihui and Li Jiaqing had been middle and high school classmates, but Ouyang Huihui had taken a year off from school for some reason, delaying her university studies. Since middle school, Li Jiaqing had a crush on Ouyang Huihui, and they ended up at the same university and even the same faculty, which overjoyed him, and he began to madly pursue her as soon as school started.
Li Jiaqing was handsome with a sweet mouth, good at pleasing girls, and coming from a well-off family, he was many girls' Prince Charming. Ouyang Huihui didn't dislike him, and given her bad mood today, she wanted to vent her emotions. Therefore, when Li Jiaqing came to hang out with her, she didn't refuse. She rounded up her roommates and went out with Li Jiaqing and his buddies.
But unexpectedly, they bumped into Luo Ziling and his group on the way.
Ouyang Huihui was surprised to see Luo Ziling so soon after returning to school, and the anger that had subsided flared up again.
Watching Cao Jianhui brazenly ask for her contact information, and seeing Luo Ziling's embarrassed expression, she immediately felt the urge to play a trick. She turned to Li Jiaqing at her side and said, "Li Jiaqing, I don't want to go singing anymore. You guys go ahead, I'm afraid of them!"
Li Jiaqing, with a decent family background and a high standing in school, flattered by many, saw Cao Jianhui daring to hit on Ouyang Huihui. He was already annoyed, but due to his own image and desire to maintain his composure, he hadn't reacted.
Upon hearing Ouyang Huihui say so, his face immediately turned cold…
