Deities Are All Just My Food

Lin Baici didn’t deliberately show off by choosing a fancy hotel where the average cost per person is over a thousand yuan.

He browsed through Meituan, asked the opinions of the two girls, and picked a restaurant that had a decent reputation among Haijing Normal University students.

The four of them spent over four hundred yuan.

For an average university student, that might not be cheap, but for Lin Baici, it was nothing.

After the meal, the two girls probably felt a bit embarrassed about letting Lin Baici spend so much money, so on the way back to school, they went into a boutique fruit store.

They picked some nice fruits for Lin Baici to take back, but when it was time to pay, Lin Baici quickly scanned the code first.

"What are you doing?"

Liu Ying, the girl with short hair, gave Lin Baici a stern look: "Do you even want to stay friends?"

Li Wei suddenly got nervous.

"We just had a meal that cost hundreds, and you think a few cherries can settle it?"

"Isn’t that too sneaky?"

Lin Baici raised an eyebrow: "Dream on!"

"Next time, I’m going to eat my money’s worth!"

The girl with long black hair covered her mouth and laughed, knowing Lin Baici was just joking.

"You’re so annoying."

Liu Ying rolled her eyes at Lin Baici and laughed too: "I can tell you’re a big spender, so we won’t fight you on this."

"Next time you come to see Li Wei, you must call me. I’ll make sure to be a good host!"

"What if you don’t fulfill your duty?"

Lin Baici stroked his chin and sized up Liu Ying: "Can we settle it with a hug?"

"You’re so obnoxious!"

Liu Ying punched Lin Baici playfully on the shoulder.

Li Wei was envious to death.

After that meal, he realized he knew his childhood friend had changed but didn’t expect such a big change.

Being so flirtatious with girls, was this still the Lin Baici he knew?

Despite Liu Ying giving him a punch, she didn’t use any force. It was more of a playful flirt than anything.

"What happens after you find someone annoying?"

Lin Baici asked with a smile: "Could it turn into a bit of liking?"

On the surface, Lin Baici looked like a master at flirting, but inside, he was feeling overwhelmed.

He didn’t expect Liu Ying to react like this, nor did he expect Song Jiajia, who appeared quite reserved at first glance, to not give him a dirty look.

Oh my goodness!

What should I do with you girls being like this?

Lin Baici still underestimated the allure of his looks. Combined with his generosity and elegant yet humorous speech, by the end of the meal, the two girls he had just met were feeling quite fond of him.

Lin Baici initially struck up a conversation with them to change the subject and not talk about Jiang Yitong anymore, while also giving Li Wei a shot at a relationship. But who knew, Li Wei didn’t rise to the occasion, barely said a word from shyness, and just ate.

As a result, he scored some points himself.

But if he didn’t crash and burn a bit, dim his bright image a little, the girls probably wouldn’t choose Li Wei.

Surprisingly, even after saying something as blatant as ’settle it with a hug,’ neither Liu Ying nor Song Jiajia got upset.

There’s a saying that when a woman likes you, everything you do is right, and there’s an explanation for it. However, when she dislikes you, even a glance can make her think you’re up to something nefarious.

After entering the campus and walking for a bit, Lin Baici took out his phone for a quick look.

"My girlfriend is calling!"

Lin Baici sighed: "I can’t see you two back to your dorms!"

"What a pity!"

Lin Baici was doing this on purpose; he had to nip the budding feelings of affection the girls might have for him.

Upon hearing the word ’girlfriend,’ Liu Ying and Song Jiajia were momentarily stunned. Liu Ying then chuckled and said, "Get out of here!"

Song Jiajia lowered her head, twisting the toe of her right foot into the ground, seemingly lost in thought.

"Xiao Wei, I’ll leave these two ladies to you; make sure to escort them safely back to their rooms!"

Lin Baici patted Li Wei on the shoulder and handed him the bag of fruit.

Li Wei was extremely embarrassed.

His heart was racing like crazy.

He had never escorted girls back to their dorm before.

"No need, we’re not that delicate!"

Song Jiajia politely declined, not wanting to trouble Li Wei.

"I’ll take it!"

Liu Ying reached for the bag of fruit.

Fortunately, Li Wei wasn’t completely clueless and dodged: "I... I’ll take you, it’s too heavy!"

"Let’s go, let’s go!"

Lin Baici waved his hand.

He had their contacts, now it was up to his childhood friend to see when he’d end up with someone.

...

Lin Baici strolled leisurely towards the school gate, and just as he walked out, he received a video call from Jiang Yitong.

Lin Baici swiped to answer.

"I thought you wouldn’t dare pick up?"

Jiang Yitong cut straight to the point.

"Why wouldn’t I dare to?"

Lin Baici was perplexed.

"Are you really just accompanying your childhood friend, or are you here under that pretense, trying to hit on girls from Haijing Normal University?"

Jiang Yitong gave a little snort: "Did you enjoy your time with me so much that you’re seeking new excitement?"

"Haha, feeling a sense of crisis?"

Lin Baici teased: "Don’t worry, with a girlfriend like you, how could I ever want another woman?"

"Even if there was someone else, you’d still be number one!"

"Hmph!"

Jiang Yitong huffed, then laughed: "The girls at Haijing Normal University are quite something, aren’t they?"

"I’m telling you, don’t bother with the hassle of finding new love; I can help you with that!"

"After all, I’m a local!"

Girlfriend?

Upon hearing those words, Jiang Yitong felt sweet inside, like she’d taken a bite of a mousse cake slathered with honey, yet there was a bit of regret.

Too bad I’m not his real girlfriend!

I wonder which woman is so lucky to be.

Before Lin Baici could speak, Jiang Yitong explained: "I saw someone post your photo in the group chat!"
