Chapter 74: Chapter 73: Running into Wang Yanran just by going out for a meal! How unlucky is that!
"Tianming, when can we have another sparring match? I’ve also reached Level 16 now!"
"Uh... next time!"
"When is next time? Give me a specific time."
"I haven’t really thought about it yet..."
"Then I’ll decide, tonight it is, at Wind Bell Arena!"
"I ate a bit too much for dinner, so no strenuous exercise for me! Another day, I will definitely find a time to spar with you!"
"..."
Feng Lan was exasperated by Lin Tianming’s constant excuses to avoid her.
She was just waiting for Level 16 to unlock her Divine Domain Skill, to wash away the shame of being previously defeated by Lin Tianming and to resolve their past life’s grudges.
But Lin Tianming could always come up with different excuses, leaving her utterly frustrated.
And it wasn’t just her who was frustrated; Ye Qingxue, who shared a dormitory with her and saw her chasing after her boyfriend Lin Tianming, the "jealous queen", was also quite irritated.
This little vixen Feng Lan, how dare she brazenly flirt with her Brother Tianming right in front of her!
"Could you stop using sparring as an excuse to get close to my Brother Tianming?"
Feng Lan remained silent, she couldn’t be bothered with Ye Qingxue.
In her past life, it was only after becoming a God that she had a fleeting encounter with Ye Qingxue, and in this life, she didn’t really want to interact with Ye Qingxue too much either.
Faced with the reticent Feng Lan, Ye Qingxue also started to boast, "You won’t be able to meet my Brother Tianming tonight, and don’t even think about tomorrow because I’ll be going on a trip with Brother Tianming for three days!"
Feng Lan was unfazed by Ye Qingxue’s display of territorial marking.
She conveniently had three days off tomorrow, to search for the fortune that belonged to her in her previous life.
Let Ye Qingxue, the love-struck girl, be with Lin Tianming however she wanted; Feng Lan couldn’t care less.
Seeing Feng Lan flirt with her Brother Tianming in front of her and ignore her, Ye Qingxue pouted and stopped paying attention to Feng Lan.
At the same time, Lin Tianming and his roommate Chu Yunfei were playing in Tianhui Square in the Imperial East District.
This place was different from the vicinity of the Imperial Academy; although there were also many young people, the students from the Imperial Academy were seldom seen, with the crowd mainly consisting of young people from society.
"Tianhui Square is really huge, Tianming, we followed the map here, but it nearly made our heads spin!"
Lin Tianming strongly agreed, "Indeed, it’s quite big. Yunfei, did you find the dry pot restaurant you ordered from online?"
"Let me check again; it should be around here. This damn map navigation is not leading us properly at all!"
Chu Yunfei took out his phone and matched it with the map navigation, walking around the area for a while, and finally found the dry pot restaurant he had reserved.
"Here it is, Tianming, this is the place where we ordered a three-pound shrimp dry pot online. Let’s go check it out!"
After saying that, Chu Yunfei led Lin Tianming into the dry pot restaurant.
Upon entering, Lin Tianming saw that there was a queue at the reception.
With a bit of patience, it was soon Chu Yunfei’s turn.
Chu Yunfei showed his reservation on his phone to the receptionist, who quickly gave him a small ticket.
"The shrimp dry pot is at table number nine, over there!"
"Okay, thank you."
After getting the ticket, Chu Yunfei happily headed back to Lin Tianming, "Let’s go, it’s time to enjoy our shrimp dry pot!"
Lin Tianming nodded slightly and followed Chu Yunfei to find table number nine.
They quickly located their table with the ticket in hand.
Their shrimp dry pot was already prepared, heated, and kept warm on the stove under the big table, ready to be enjoyed as soon as they arrived.
"This dry pot restaurant is not bad! It looks quite clean, and we booked for seven o’clock tonight; they prepared the dry pot just shortly before, so we can start eating the moment we arrive!"
"Mm, this restaurant does provide excellent service in that aspect."
Seated at table nine, Lin Tianming and Chu Yunfei were also enjoying their meal and chatting.
Lin Tianming initially thought he would spend a pleasant evening and then go home for a good night’s sleep before heading to Lingnan Ancient City with Ye Qingxue the next day.
Unexpectedly, he caught sight of the very last person he wanted to see right now through the transparent glass window of the restaurant.
Wang Yanran!
Wang Yanran was talking to her cousin Wang Jian, standing by her side.
I hope they’re just passing by; please don’t come in!
Lin Tianming prayed desperately that Wang Yanran would not come in. However, the more he wished something wouldn’t happen, the more likely it seemed to occur.
Under Lin Tianming’s anxious gaze, Wang Yanran and Wang Jian walked into the restaurant.
"Cousin, this is the place. Last time I tried their shrimp meat dry pot here, the flavor was absolutely top-notch! I’ve ordered four pounds this time, which should be more than enough for the two of us!"
"Four pounds? Isn’t that a bit too much..."
"Actually, it’s not a lot, mainly because there are a lot of side dishes. I’ll order some drinks later!"
"I don’t drink alcohol."
"Then I’ll get some soft drinks, heh-heh, cousin!"
Having encountered Wang Yanran and Wang Jian while out for a meal was already unlucky enough for Lin Tianming, not to mention having a gossip enthusiast like Chu Yunfei by his side.
"Eh, isn’t that the fierce senior sister who had scheduled several dates with you before and even left you utterly exhausted one evening?
Oh right, Tianming, I saw that senior sister’s information yesterday; she is actually the student council president of Imperial Academy, Wang Yanran—no wait... after the sophomore and junior students returned recently, she, now a senior, has handed over the presidency to a junior male student!
Hold on... Why is Wang Jian, the guy who got beaten up by you in the video, with her? Both of them have the surname Wang; they couldn’t be siblings, could they? Tianming, you’re done for. You’ve beaten up your future brother-in-law; he’s definitely going to be against you being with Senior Sister Wang Yanran!"
Lin Tianming glared at Chu Yunfei: "How is it that all these gossips are what’s filling your head, Yunfei! Keep your voice down; don’t let them notice us!"
Chu Yunfei chuckled: "Got it. You did beat up your future brother-in-law, indeed not the best time to bump into them. However, if they come this way, I think you’re going to be exposed!"
As the saying goes, what you’re afraid of will come to pass, and Wang Yanran and Wang Jian were indeed heading towards them.
"Cousin, our shrimp meat dry pot is reserved at table seven, just over there!"
Hearing Wang Jian’s words and taking a bite of shrimp meat, Chu Yunfei smirked at Lin Tianming: "Table seven, right behind us diagonally. Tianming, looks like you can’t escape Senior Sister Wang Yanran and your future brother-in-law today!"
Lin Tianming didn’t bother with Chu Yunfei’s schadenfreude and buried his head, trying to avoid being recognized by turning his back to Wang Yanran and Wang Jian.
[That back silhouette, doesn’t it resemble Lin Tianming, that stinking hoodlum scoundrel?]
Wang Yanran’s inner voice made Lin Tianming’s heart skip a beat; he was still holding onto a sliver of hope.
At that moment, Wang Jian called out to Wang Yanran, who was staring at Lin Tianming’s back.
"Cousin, I found table seven, right here. What are you looking at over there? Come sit down! It’s fresher and tastier to eat now!"
Called by Wang Jian, Wang Yanran still stood there, focusing her gaze on Lin Tianming.
[The silhouette is identical; now looking at the person sitting with him, if it’s someone he knows, then it must be Lin Tianming, the one who defiled me!]
When Lin Tianming heard Wang Yanran’s inner voice about checking Chu Yunfei’s appearance, he also remembered that Chu Yunfei had met Wang Yanran with him several times.
Thinking of this, Lin Tianming quickly lowered his voice to warn Chu Yunfei, who was still looking up.
"Yunfei, keep your head down, don’t look over there!"
Chu Yunfei replied, puzzled: "What? I didn’t hear you clearly; speak up!"
It was already too late; Wang Yanran had clearly seen Chu Yunfei’s face.
[Isn’t that Lin Tianming’s roommate?]
[This familiar silhouette, it’s indeed you, Lin Tianming!]
[Having turned down my invitations several times before, to run into you tonight, so far from Imperial Academy. Let’s see how you, the stinking hoodlum that defiled me, are going to run now!]
