Chapter 391: Second to the Core
After Sun Hongkai left, Lin Tian turned around and noticed that the way Meng Nan and Li were looking at him had changed.
How to put it, it was as if they didn’t know Lin Tian at all, there was even a hint of fear in their eyes, making them feel uneasy.
Lin Tian rubbed his nose, realizing he might have scared his two buddies a bit, and laughed, saying, "Why are you looking at me like that? I didn’t do anything to that bottle of red wine, maybe that guy just can’t hold his liquor."
Lin Tian’s words didn’t ease the awkwardness, it had an air of "the lady doth protest too much." Clearly, the two didn’t believe him at all.
However, Lin Tian’s willingness to joke around eased the unfamiliarity between them significantly.
Li, looking like a curious baby, adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and asked, "I’ve read the newspaper, I know you’re this year’s top scorer in the Kanyue City unified exam, and you’re good at gaming and fighting. What kind of person are you really?"
After speaking, Li began to look Lin Tian up and down.
Lin Tian felt Li’s curious gaze, and for some reason, he started to feel nervous, as if Li’s gaze could see right through him.
Before this, Lin Tian only thought Li was a bookworm. Now he realized that this person was very deep, with strong observational skills and high intelligence.
Lin Tian smiled and changed the subject, asking, "Didn’t Wang Sicong show up yet? Why don’t you give him a call?"
Since Lin Tian wasn’t keen on talking about himself, Li didn’t press further, after all, everyone has their privacy.
Meng Nan also understood Lin Tian’s meaning, so he took out his phone and dialed. Soon, Wang Sicong’s phone connected.
After a few words, Meng Nan hung up and said, "That guy is already at the hotel, he’ll be here shortly."
Lin Tian nodded and said to the waiter, "You can serve the food now."
Earlier, after the manager of the private room and the four security guards dragged those guys out, they didn’t return. After Sun Hongkai left, only the ’three brothers’ and the waiter remained in the private room. Being honored guests, at least one person needed to stay to serve them.
The waiter had already sensed the odd atmosphere in the room, and upon hearing Lin Tian’s words, gratefully hurried out on her high heels.
Not long after, exquisite dishes with wonderful color, aroma, and taste were carried in one after another.
Lin Tian wasn’t going to be polite to Wang Sicong, so he invited Li and Meng Nan to start eating and drinking.
Before long, someone opened the door to the room again.
The three of them looked back and saw Wang Sicong, dressed in colorful designer clothes, walking in first. Behind him, a group of tall, beautiful women with elegant figures, including round bosoms and slim waists, followed him in.
Carefully counting, there were eight in total.
The three at the dining table all deliberately overlooked Wang Sicong, their eyes fixated on the stunning women behind him.
Lin Tian originally thought that Li and Meng Nan might be reserved, but contrary to his expectations, they were even more relaxed than him, their eyes slyly darting around the beautiful women, swallowing twice in the process.
You had to admit, the eight beautiful women Wang Sicong brought were one-in-a-million in terms of figure and face.
Once they came in, the previously somewhat cold private room became lively, filled with laughter and chatter. Apart from the two women staying close to Wang Sicong, the remaining six sat beside the three with bright smiles on their faces.
Lin Tian was no exception, with a woman seated on each side of him. As soon as they sat down, they stared at his handsome face and teased, "Wow, this handsome guy is so handsome. Sister, we’ve found a treasure today."
The two women seemed very excited, leaning closer to Lin Tian as they spoke, with two different fragrant scents wafting toward him.
Instantly, Lin Tian felt the heat rise in him.
The woman on the left caught a glimpse of something and covered her mouth, exclaiming, "Wow, so big and tall!"
Lin Tian had never encountered such a scene, and even though he felt itchy inside, his face slightly reddened. He said to the woman on the left, "The air conditioning is set so low in this room, how are you dressed so lightly, aren’t you cold?"
As soon as Lin Tian said this, the entire table burst into laughter.
"This little handsome guy is so interesting and cute," someone teased.
Wang Sicong laughed a few times before chiming in, "Lin and Xiaomei, my buddy’s worried you’re cold. Why not snuggle up closer to him?"
Hearing Wang Sicong’s words, the two women seemed even more forward, pressing their bosoms against Lin Tian’s arms.
Lin Tian felt his whole body tensing up, quickly looking up and taking a deep breath to prevent the nosebleed.
Meng Nan, that simpleton, was at this point holding a woman on each shoulder, grinning at Lin Tian as he said, "Brother, you’re so handsome, you must have lots of girls chasing after you. But seeing you so shy, are you still a virgin?"
Meng Nan’s words caused another uproar of laughter around the table.
Lin Tian looked at his three roommates, a bit embarrassed, and asked, "Are you all not?"
Another round of laughter erupted, accompanied by a few middle fingers directed at Lin Tian. They joked about how today, they should get two beautiful women to deflower Lin Tian.
Everyone continued drinking and laughing, when suddenly, Li stood up with his glass, saying seriously, "Let’s have a toast, and then we’ll rank our dorm head and second based on birthdates."
Wang Sicong slapped the table and stood up with his glass, "Good idea. I’ve never lived in a dorm before, I’ve always longed for it. Since we’re fated to be in the same dorm, we’re brothers from now on. If you need anything from me, Wang Sicong, just say the word. Being polite means you don’t see me as a brother. Cheers!"
Lin Tian and Meng Nan also stood up with their glasses, "Cheers!"
The four clinked their glasses and drank it all in one go.
Li sat back down and said first, "August ’97. How about you guys?"
Wang Sicong said, "I’m also ’97, January."
Meng Nan chuckled, "Then you all have to call me big brother from now on, June ’95."
Finally, everyone turned their eyes to Lin Tian, waiting for him to speak.
Lin Tian cleared his throat and said, "September ’96."
In order of age among the four, it was Meng Nan the eldest, followed by Lin Tian, Wang Sicong, and Li as the youngest.
Lin Tian was suddenly dissatisfied, slapping the table and standing up, "No way, no way, how can I be second? Our dorm name is already stupid enough, if you go out, how do you introduce me? Like: ’This is our 250’s number two.’ Isn’t that too dumb!"
"Hahaha..."
The dining table erupted in laughter once again.
