77: Chapter 76 Jealousy Makes Me Ugly_1

77 -76 Jealousy Makes Me Ugly_1

In the café, light music flowed melodiously, creating a leisurely and comfortable atmosphere, perfect for whispering sweet nothings.

Your conscience is lying: Are you joking?

When have I, Ji Xinyan, ever asked for a guy’s WeChat?

They’re the ones who always hit on me first, okay?

Ji Xinyan rolled her eyes.

She would never lower herself to do such a thing.

Pink Meow immediately sent a contemptuous emoji, and then the classmates quickly fell in line, turning their collective outrage on Ji Xinyan.

But it was all in jest.

Ji Xinyan, pretty and approachable, got along with both male and female classmates, making her extremely popular and the undisputed centerpiece of the class.

Ji Xinyan ignored these buddies in the group, instead giving Huang Tao a sidelong glance.

Damn!

You ask me out for coffee, and you keep sneaking glances at that kimchi girl?

What’s the deal?

Is it just because she has a better figure than me?

You men just don’t get it.

This type of figure will definitely sag after turning thirty.

Ji Xinyan was annoyed, and after taking a sip of her coffee, she deliberately set the cup down on the table with a ‘thud’.

“Xinyan, how’s the coffee?

Is it to your taste?”

Huang Tao was somewhat preoccupied.

He used to think those Goryeo girl group dance videos were so saucy.

Now, seeing one in the flesh, he found her exuding a kind of hormonal appeal that was tantalizing.

Huang Tao watched as Kim Myungjin lifted her cup to her rose-tinted lips and took a sip, the edge of the cup pressing against her red lips…

Mama mia!

Huang Tao shifted his position in his seat.

“Just average!”

Ji Xinyan pouted.

She was ready to leave because sitting together with that pickle girl made her feel outdone.

[A man with filthy thoughts in his head and he even dares to covet your emergency rations, suggest charring him and then feeding him to the dogs.]

Eater God suddenly commented, causing Lin Baici to raise an eyebrow and casually scan the room, his gaze landing on Huang Tao.

Is it this guy?

Huang Tao met Lin Baici’s gaze with a smile and nodded, behaving quite like a gentleman.

Kim Myungjin followed Lin Baici’s line of sight.

Huang Tao noticed this scene, and just as he was about to smile at Kim Myungjin and maybe even raise his cup for a toast, she had already turned her head away.

That casual attitude was as if she was merely glancing at a stray dog passing by on the street.

This left Huang Tao feeling extremely awkward and his self-esteem took a severe hit.

I’m not handsome,

but I have talent!

If Kim Myungjin had heard this, she would have surely laughed herself to death before telling him.

Do you know how many students graduate from Hancheng National University, Goryeo University, and Yonsei University, the top colleges of Goryeo each year, lining up to join my family’s company, waiting to be employed?

And I’m a face-connoisseur.

Being good-looking moves me more than talent does.

[Hey, an interesting woman.

Although she doesn’t match up to your emergency rations, she might still be worth a taste.

After all, you can’t always eat main dishes, right?

That would make the menu too monotonous.]

[She’s like a wild cherry.

You see it, pluck it, pop it in your mouth, chew it to change up the flavor, then spit it out!]

Lin Baici slightly frowned.

Who is Eater God talking about?

Emergency rations, that’s Kim Myungjin, right?

Then the wild cherry…

Lin Baici looked towards the girl at the next table.

She wore a light yellow floral dress that made her skin appear even more fair, and on an arm so delicate Lin Baici felt he could break it with one touch, she wore a silver bracelet.

Her eyes were big and moist, and on her bewitching fox-like face, it seemed like she was throwing flirtatious glances at everyone.

Ji Xinyan noticed Lin Baici’s examination and, with an air of aloofness, lifted her coffee cup without any intention of locking eyes with him.

She was putting on an act, but before the coffee could reach her lips, the guy had already turned away.

Shoot!

You looked at me for less than three seconds.

Ok, I’ll remember you.

Ji Xinyan silently fumed.

The shortest time she had ever been sized up had just been updated, and in just one instance, cut down by six seconds—it was infuriating.

“Oppa, what do you think of the car outside?”

Someone sat down in the neighboring seat, and Kim Myungjin did not continue the topic of the God Hunter.

“Looks pretty lavish!”

Lin Baici peered through the window to see the Mercedes parked beneath the trees, like a dormant beast, undoubtedly a luxury car unattainable for the common man in a lifetime.

“Haha, lavish?

It’s not a Rolls Royce.

It’s just a car for getting around!”

Kim Myungjin felt obligated to help Oppa reestablish his sense of value.

Huang Tao didn’t appreciate the comment.

Do you understand cars?

A nearly two million yuan Mercedes AMG E63S is just a ride in your eyes?

Can you afford it?

You could break your back live-streaming Korean dances every day and still couldn’t earn enough to buy that car.

“Oppa!”

Kim Myungjin’s expression was deferent as she pulled out a hi-tech-looking car key, handed it over to Lin Baici with both hands, and bowed: “This is a back-to-school gift I’m giving you.

Please don’t look down on it.”

Pff!

Huang Tao spat out a mouthful of coffee.

What’s happening?

That car belongs to the kimchi girl?

And she wants to give it to this guy?

I— damn it…

Huang Tao felt like the universe was mocking him.

Ji Xinyan was equally shocked.

What was the deal with this couple?

What had that guy done to make the Goryeo girl give him a luxury car?

Ji Xinyan, although not into cars, knew enough about them to tell that this car, with its paint, was brand new, probably not even half a month old with its plates on.

“This gift is too expensive!”

Lin Baici didn’t accept it.

“Oppa, give me a chance to express my feelings!”

Kim Myungjin explained, “I was afraid you’d find it too expensive and too ostentatious, so I didn’t dare buy a sports car.

A Mercedes is already the most basic model I considered.”

“…”

“…”

At that moment, Huang Tao and Ji Xinyan had only one thought in their minds,

Listen to this, is this what people say?

How rich are you exactly, that a Mercedes is considered the most basic model in your eyes?

“I accept your sentiment!”

Lin Baici was genuinely moved.

“Oppa, you’re in college now, you’ll be hanging out with classmates often, right?

You can’t always rely on the subway or taxis, can you?

That’s too inconvenient!”

Kim Myungjin persuaded, “And when you have a girlfriend, are you going to let her cram onto a bus?”

“???”

Huang Tao was dumbstruck.

What the heck? ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

You’re not even his girlfriend?

Ji Xinyan too looked surprised.

“But I don’t have a driver’s license!”

Lin Baici shrugged his shoulders.

Kim Myungjin had already thought of that and pulled out a driver’s license from her purse, handing it over to Lin Baici with both hands.

Lin Baici took it and was stunned.

It was his driver’s license.

The photo on it was taken when the two were playing together in Guangqing.

“How did you manage this?”

Lin Baici was astonished.

He knew the Kim family was affluent, probably quite influential in Goryeo, but was their reach as strong in the Nine States?

“It was pretty simple.

I got you a Goryeo driver’s license first, then asked the company’s legal department to liaise with the relevant agencies in your area to convert it into a Nine States driver’s license!”

Kim Myungjin explained softly, not knowing exactly how the legal department had done it.

She just assigned the task, and her subordinates took care of it.

“Don’t worry, the whole process is entirely legal and legit.

The only minor issue is that you haven’t driven in Goryeo, so Oppa, you’ll need to practice regularly.”

Kim Myungjin, without intending to, showcased the power of capital.

Huang Tao on the side was green with envy.

Ni Ma,

I busted my chops all summer, got sunburned to death, and still haven’t passed my driving test, while you guys have it easy.

“Thank you!”

Lin Baici didn’t know what else to say.

The car mustn’t be cheap, but what was truly precious was the thought Kim Myungjin put into it.

She must have been planning this college gift for a while, and upon hearing he arrived at school, she flew straight over from Goryeo.

This friendship touched Lin Baici deeply and he took it to heart.

He decided not to make a fuss about it anymore; it was just a car, and in the future, he could give Kim Myungjin an expensive gift in return.

Lin Baici had this confidence.

Even if he couldn’t secure the iron rice bowl job at the Jiuzhou Security Bureau and become a government employee, as long as he managed to get a God Hunter License, he could still enter God’s Ruins.

Once there, he could seal a few Taboo things and sell them off in the underground black market—tens of millions would be a piece of cake.

“Oppa, don’t be polite with me!”

When Lin Baici accepted the gift, it set Kim Myungjin’s mind at ease, and she happily nibbled on a small biscuit, popping it into her mouth.

Lin Baici fiddled with the keys and suddenly thought of a problem, “Where should I put it?”

It couldn’t just be left on the street, could it?

If it got scratched or bumped by other cars, wouldn’t that be heart-wrenching?

“I’ve booked a luxury suite at the Hilton Hotel, the closest to your university, for a year, so you can use the parking space there.

You can park the car there and drive it whenever you want, or just call, and the hotel will arrange for employees to bring it over!”

Kim Myungjin had already thought of everything.

“You booked a luxury suite at the Hilton for a year?

How much did that cost?”

Huang Tao knew it was a five-star hotel, super expensive to stay just one night.

He and his ex-girlfriend didn’t dare consider such a hotel for Valentine’s Day.

Ji Xinyan was also flabbergasted.

Is this girl a bootlicker or what?

Definitely a bootlicker, right?

And a purebred at that!

“You’re wasting money again!”

Lin Baici was exasperated.

“I just spent a little bit of my pocket money!”

Kim Myungjin stretched out her left hand, pinching the nail of her little finger with her thumb, and showed just how little she had spent by indicating a tiny gap.

“Oppa, stop worrying about these things.

Are you really going to take a girl to one of those hotels where you can be heard by the next room with just a couple of shouts?

Could you really enjoy yourself there?”

Kim Myungjin had taken a real liking to Lin Baici, not just because of the so-called ‘suspension bridge effect’ that occurred in Dragon Temple but also because of the charm Lin Baici displayed while Breaking Divine Ruins, which she admired.

Of course, Lin Baici’s handsome appearance, which was exactly to Kim Myungjin’s taste, was also a bonus.

Finally, there was the task her brother had given her to poach talent; Kim Myungjin naturally pulled out all the stops.

To people like them, anything solvable with money was not a problem.

Seeing that he couldn’t dissuade Kim Myungjin, Lin Baici gave up.

After all, he was just a kid from an ordinary family, brought up for eighteen years on thrift, simplicity, and not to waste.

They chatted for a while longer, then called the waitress over to settle the bill and get ready to go eat.

“Your total is eight hundred and twenty yuan.

Will you be paying cash or by card?”

The waitress presented the bill.
