Chapter 397: The Mediterranean
The crowd in the square was getting larger, and once most people had arrived, a man about fifty years old took the stage, holding a microphone.
Thanks to his height advantage, Lin Tian could easily see the man’s face.
His head was bald, styled like a Waihai City cut, and he somewhat resembled Liu Chan. Could this guy be Liu Chan’s dad?
The Waihai City style man first tested the microphone, cleared his throat, and then spoke: "Hello everyone. Once again, welcome to Kanyue City Medical University. I’m your director, Liu Mang..."
Lin Tian looked at the Waihai City teacher, contemplating his name, "Liu Mang, hooligan? Their family’s names are all so interesting."
At this moment, Liou Qingcheng also began discussing quietly with Lin Tian, "This person is Liu Chan’s dad, though he’s ugly, he’s quite well-known in the medical field."
"Oh?" Lin Tian became interested, "How do you know these things?"
"Wasn’t it last night, at the freshmen assembly? I went, but you didn’t. This guy was hosting, showing off some shabby trophies and certificates as if he was something special. Honestly, I think he’s just a yokel," Liou Qingcheng said, frowning.
"Haha." Lin Tian laughed, "Good thing I didn’t go last night, sounded too boring."
Liou Qingcheng raised an eyebrow, turning around to ask, "Then where did you go last night?"
Lin Tian’s smile froze instantly. He scratched his nose, "Just went drinking with the guys at the dorm."
"There were girls, right? And probably a beautiful one at that."
"How do you know..."
"I guessed. You gave yourself away. Men are all the same."
After saying this, Liou Qingcheng snorted coldly and turned away.
"You can’t just tar everyone with the same brush. I purely went to eat. After eating, I went back to the dorm, ignored my roommates who wanted to fool around."
"Really?"
"Really! Otherwise, how else would I be here? The counselor called me from the dorm just now."
Liou Qingcheng nodded in satisfaction.
At this time, someone patted Lin Tian on the shoulder. He turned around, seeing a tall, skinny girl with a bun hairstyle.
"Are you Qingcheng’s boyfriend?" the girl asked.
Before Lin Tian could answer, Liou Qingcheng reached out a slender hand to pinch the girl’s face and said cutely, "You little brat, if you say that again, I’ll tear your mouth off."
"Hehe, getting shy now."
The girl dodged Liou Qingcheng’s hand and patted Lin Tian on the shoulder again, "Handsome guy, I have high hopes for you. Since yesterday, many have been hassling Qingcheng, and haven’t got any good reactions, but you managed to bag the campus flower so easily."
Lin Tian was taken aback, "It’s only the second day of school, and she’s already the campus flower?"
"Of course, you guys love these rankings. It’s a shame I haven’t heard about any campus hunks, but seeing how handsome you are, you might qualify."
The girl winked at Lin Tian and asked, "Do you have any friends as handsome as you? Introduce one to me."
Lin Tian shook his head, "No, how could anyone be more handsome than me."
"Such a braggart." The girl giggled again.
By then, Liu Mang had finally finished speaking, and amidst the perfunctory applause, he said, "The flag-raising ceremony officially begins."
Lin Tian instantly put away his nonchalant attitude, put down the sunshade in his hand, stood straight, and watched the ceremony start. Tears suddenly fell from Lin Tian’s eyes.
Lin Tian was still immersed in the sadness just now and hadn’t heard Liu Mang’s subsequent words.
"Now, let’s welcome our freshman representative, Liu Chan, to speak on stage."
"Pfft..." Liou Qingcheng couldn’t help but laugh, "Freshman representative? Him?"
Liou Qingcheng turned, wanting to say something to Lin Tian, only to find his expression was filled with sadness, with tear-streaked cheeks.
Women are emotional, looking at Lin Tian this way made her inexplicably sad. She softly asked, "What’s wrong?"
Lin Tian snapped back to reality, wiped the tears from his face, smiled, and said, "Nothing, just some sand in my eyes."
"Then let me blow it out for you."
Saying this, Liou Qingcheng’s hand rested on Lin Tian’s, tiptoed and pouted her small cherry lips, gently blowing into Lin Tian’s eyes.
Lin Tian looked down at Liou Qingcheng’s cute and earnest expression, feeling a wave of softness in his heart, his gaze became dazed.
On a whim, Lin Tian wrapped his arm around Liou Qingcheng’s waist, lowered his head, and kissed her alluring red lips.
Liou Qingcheng was startled by this sudden action, quickly pushed Lin Tian away, then turned around, covering her face, her mind blank.
Did he just kiss me?
Lin Tian was also flustered, wondering how he ended up kissing Liou Qingcheng in a public crowd.
Moreover, seeing her wordless state, it seemed a bit like the calm before the storm.
Liou Qingcheng, whether in figure, looks, or temperament, had always been the focal point of male attention, with many eyes watching her.
Naturally, the recent kiss was also witnessed by many.
The previously dull square suddenly became lively, with people enjoying the spectacle. There were whistling, cheering, and mock despair.
The girl from earlier gave Lin Tian a thumbs-up, "Awesome."
The once-peaceful square now bubbled with excitement, interrupting Liu Chan’s prepared speech.
His face went red immediately, and he was incredibly nervous, thinking people below were mocking him.
Liu Chan glanced at the most lively spot in the crowd and immediately spotted someone who made a vein pop on his forehead.
"Lin Tian! You’re ruining my day again!"
Liu Chan’s voice, filled with gritted teeth, boomed across the square through the microphone, causing everyone to turn their eyes toward him.
Realizing his outburst, Liu Chan quickly picked up his script and started reading again, but compared to earlier, he was even more nervous, stammering and very unclear, sparking laughter and criticism throughout the square.
"And he’s supposed to be the freshman representative?"
"Right? So ugly, and still has the nerve to go on stage."
"You guys don’t know, the guy who spoke earlier from Waihai City is his dad."
Lin Tian also heard Liu Chan’s words just now and didn’t expect him to be speaking on stage, especially doing such a poor job.
However, these weren’t Lin Tian’s concerns; his biggest worry was still Liou Qingcheng.
How did I accidentally end up kissing Liou Qingcheng?
