52 -52: A rose by any other name would smell as sweet

Since coming back to life,

Whenever he had some free time, Lin Shuang would sort through memories from his previous life.

To see if he could find any information gap that could make him rich.

But then he realized, there was none!

He had always led an ordinary life in his previous life.

From undergraduate all the way to postdoctoral, eventually becoming a university professor.

It’s fair to say he’d spent almost his whole life in the academic ivory tower, insensitive to the happenings of the outside world.

There was simply no profitable information to be had.

He did occasionally buy lottery tickets though.

But he wouldn’t remember the winning number combinations.

Moreover…

even if he remembered the numbers now and bought the ticket,

The draw might not come out the same.

Mystical, isn’t it?

Now, Lin Shuang had some money given by System Lady, so he wasn’t in such dire need of cash.

His material desires weren’t that high.

Another reason he sorted through his past life memories was that

He felt he had forgotten something very important.

What could it be…

no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t remember.

Oh well, better to just enjoy the present life.

After class, he packed up his laptop and left the classroom,

Planning to move to the next class.

That’s when he discovered the teaching building was surrounded, exits completely blocked.

“What’s going on now?”

Looking down from the overhead corridor, Lin Shuang instantly saw a staircase at the exit of the teaching building filled with pink roses.

There were also lots of fireworks set up on the platform.

Many female students started screaming.

“This is too romantic!”

“Is that Meng Qingming from the Meng Family?”

“Oh my God, which girl is Meng Qingming confessing to with such a grand gesture?”

Following their gazes, Lin Shuang indeed saw a guy in a suit and leather shoes in the middle of the sea of flowers, holding a huge bouquet.

It looked like there were 999 roses, and the guy looked somewhat strained holding them.

He seemed a bit unsteady on his feet, he needs some kidney tonics.

Probably his house doesn’t have a little maid skilled in making soups, what a pity.

Lin Shuang smirked, thinking this was like encountering a new elite monster.

Certainly, a notch above someone like Li Pengfei.

Li Pengfei was the type you’d slash right through in a game—a mere minion.

This Meng Qingming, on the other hand, seemed more like an elite monster with a health bar.

At that moment, Meng Qingming’s underlings rolled out a banner.

Seeing the words on the banner created another round of screams inside the teaching building.

This time it was the male students screaming.

“Dammit, this guy is actually aiming for Chairman Xia?”

“Let’s go down and take him out!”

“We only want to be Chairman Xia’s dogs, how dare this guy confess to Chairman Xia?”

“Forget it, that’s Meng Qingming from Meng Family, they own a listed company.”

“But he’s still not worthy of Chairman Xia!”

Lin Shuang watched the grand scene unfolding at the entrance of the teaching building, utterly bored.

All those flowers must have cost a decent sum, huh?

Next time just donate the money to him, don’t waste it like that!

He pulled out his phone, thinking of composing a message.

But a message from Xia Yubing came in first.

“Husband.”

Just these two words.

While Meng Qingming was still passionately speaking into the microphone,

And hundreds of onlookers were cheering on,

Lin Shuang just felt they were noisy.

Looking at the phone screen, Lin Shuang walked out from the crowd, going his own way.

“Didn’t we say not to call me that during the day?”

“But I suddenly felt like calling you that, hubby, buy me a rose, will you?”

Lin Shuang smiled; he hadn’t even sent a message yet.

System Lady jumped out first.

[Choice Activated]

[Buy a rose for Xia Yubing, the host gets one memory clue]

[Reject Xia Yubing, the host gets one copy of “How to Please a Wealthy Woman” Secret Manual]

Looking at the title of this Secret Manual, will there be a steel wool step involved?

Lin Shuang thinks the System Lady is looking down on who!

Aren’t all the wealthy women coming to him?

What use does he have for this Secret Manual!

He should get a copy of “How to Keep Wealthy Women from Annoying Him” instead.

Lin Shuang put away his phone and walked towards the campus flower shop.

Only to find upon arrival that all the flowers had been sold out.

Well, that Meng Qingming really made a grand scene.

Lin Shuang had no choice but to go to another flower shop outside the campus.

At the same time.

At the end of the fifth floor of the teaching building, inside the abandoned classroom, Xia Yubing’s secret base.

Xia Yubing was sprawled across the table, looking at the unresponsive chat box.

She pursed her lips.

Below the teaching building, the segment progressed to everyone shouting Xia Yubing’s name.

Although this secret base had special soundproofing.

But the noise outside was too big, after all, hundreds of people shouting together, still some sound leaked in.

Xia Yubing suddenly felt irritable.

She turned off her phone.

“Yixin.”

Xia Yixin, who was on standby, immediately responded, “Miss, I’m here.”

“Go down and give that monkey a beating, throw him out.”

“Okay, Miss.”

Xia Yixin closed the door and left.

Xia Yubing’s cheek was still resting on the table.

Her eyes fixed on the screen-off phone.

She counted with her fingers, “He will come, he won’t come, he will come…”

“What are you muttering?

Isn’t it some spell to curse me?”

Xia Yubing’s eyes suddenly widened, and she swiftly turned around.

Her skirt caught on the corner of the table; she stumbled but stabilized herself by holding onto the table.

“You came.”

Lin Shuang held a rose and looked at her, “This excited?”

Xia Yubing then realized her own gaffe.

Not at all like a true miss.

She propped herself up with both hands, sat on the table, and swung her legs lightly.

Her eyes fixed on the rose in his hand, “Told you to buy one and you really did?”

Lin Shuang shook the rose towards her, “Don’t want it then forget it!”

Xia Yubing snatched it, held it against her chest, “Since husband has given it, I can only reluctantly accept.”

She sniffed it gently, it smelled nice.

So, her legs swung even more cheerfully.

Ah, that monkey downstairs still had some use, making Lin Shuang bring her a rose.

Maybe she could tell Yixin to go a little easier—but it’s probably too late.

Lin Shuang waved at her, “I’m leaving, I have class.”

Xia Yubing jumped down from the table, “Wait for me a moment.”

She gave Lin Shuang a flirty smile and even winked.

Then she gathered her soft hair at the top, tying it into a bun.

With one hand holding her bun, she handed the rose to Lin Shuang.

“Help me put it in, would you?”

Lin Shuang then inserted the rose into her bun, like a jade hairpin, securing her hairstyle.

Xia Yubing showed him, “Does it look nice?”

Lin Shuang sincerely admired, “Beautiful.”

This miss really looks beautiful no matter what.

“Alright, go to class, see you next time~”

When Lin Shuang came out, he peeked at the bottom of the teaching building.

Hm?

So many people?

Why have they all dispersed?

It seems like there are also ambulance sirens sounding?

Did the dogs charge?

Lin Shuang shook his head and went to class.
