Chapter 428: Invitation
Watching the car carrying the instructor gradually disappear from sight, everyone dispersed.
Liou Qingcheng stood next to Lin Tian, holding his hand, and said, "Let’s go, accompany me to the mall, there’s something I need to buy."
"More shopping? You bought so many snacks just a few days ago," Lin Tian exclaimed, well aware of how formidable Liou Qingcheng could be in a mall, with her endless energy and enthusiasm for shopping.
Liou Qingcheng glanced at him, pouting slightly, "Did you forget what my mom told you?"
Lin Tian was taken aback, then nodded. "I remember, she told us to have a baby soon."
Liou Qingcheng blushed and kicked Lin Tian gently, "Why are you always thinking about these naughty things? I meant my dad’s being discharged from the hospital in a few days, shouldn’t we buy something for him? Let’s shop now while there’s time to think about it."
Lin Tian immediately became serious, "Ah, this is important. Meeting your father-in-law requires buying something."
"Nonsense, he’s not your father-in-law yet," Liou Qingcheng playfully glanced at Lin Tian.
Lin Tian chuckled and then asked, "By the way, why was your dad hospitalized? Is he sick?"
Liou Qingcheng nodded and sighed, "It’s the three highs. My dad used to be quite slim, but the past few years were full of social engagements, always indulging in lavish meals, so he gained weight. He’s had the three highs for years now, but loves meat and avoids vegetables, can’t eat without meat. Eventually, under my mom’s forceful persuasion, he quit drinking, reduced his meat intake, started eating more vegetables, and with medication, it’s improved a lot."
"But two days before we started school, he went to some class reunion, got too happy, drank a bit too much, and then fainted, ending up in the hospital."
Lin Tian frowned, "How is your dad doing now?"
"Same as usual, staying in the hospital for a few days, improved a bit; he goes to the hospital once every year or two," Liou Qingcheng said, with a worried expression.
"Once I meet your dad, I’ll see if I can help him with some treatment."
Lin Tian’s body was full of spiritual qi, and with that acupuncture set, although he had never treated anyone, it shouldn’t be too difficult. But all this had to wait until he saw the patient.
Liou Qingcheng raised her eyebrows, curiously looking at Lin Tian. "You’ve only been at Medical University for a week, haven’t even met many teachers, and you want to treat someone? Besides, my dad has seen so many famous doctors, and there’s no other way but slow conditioning."
Lin Tian smiled, "I’ve read some medical books, if I can help your dad, that would be great."
Liou Qingcheng nodded, but it was clear she didn’t have much hope for Lin Tian. Lin Tian didn’t explain much either.
As they were walking out of the campus, someone suddenly stood in front of them, blocking their way.
Lin Tian looked and realized it was Qi Qiu, who had run away with his tail between his legs a few days ago.
"Are you here for revenge? Why are you alone? Go call for more people," Lin Tian said disdainfully, treating him like a clown.
Qi Qiu had a hot temper; ordinarily, he couldn’t tolerate Lin Tian’s sarcastic remarks, but even today, his face turned pale without saying a word, his whole body trembling.
"Crazy."
Lin Tian cursed under his breath, grabbed Liou Qingcheng’s hand, and tried to walk around him.
But this guy seemed determined to persist, blocking their way again.
"What do you want?" Lin Tian became impatient.
Qi Qiu gritted his teeth, then suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself hard across the face.
"Smack!" The sound was loud, showing that Qi Qiu used a lot of force, leaving a red mark on his face.
Lin Tian and Liou Qingcheng were stunned, what was wrong with this idiot?
"Lin Tian, it was my short-sightedness a few days ago, I apologize to you. Please forgive me."
After saying this through gritted teeth, Qi Qiu bowed ninety degrees to Lin Tian.
"Are you brain-damaged?" Lin Tian was at a loss for words and was about to bypass him again when he said, "If you don’t forgive me, I won’t leave, even if you beat me I won’t leave."
Lin Tian was completely convinced, waved his hand, and said, "Fine, fine, I forgive you, now get lost."
Qi Qiu didn’t get lost, but instead let out a relieved smile, happily jumping in place, and shouted towards an alley, "Big brother, Lin Tian forgave me, Lin Tian forgave me."
Seeing him like this, Lin Tian and Liou Qingcheng felt creeped out, was this guy really insane?
Soon, a group of five people walked out of the alley.
The person at the front seemed familiar to Lin Tian. With a 7:3 parted hairstyle, gaunt cheeks, bright eyes, he was the kind of handsome guy girls would fancy at first sight.
Finally, Lin Tian remembered who it was. He laughed, "So that’s who it is, the campus heartthrob Li Tianmu."
Indeed, the leader was Li Tianmu. The very Li Tianmu who was bashed by Lin Tian’s fans on the "male god" list, accused unanimously of hiring ghostwriters to boost votes...and so Lin Tian’s fans seemed more like ghostwriters.
Li Tianmu nodded and smiled at Lin Tian without any hostility. Then he glanced at Liou Qingcheng, praising, "Indeed, naturally beautiful, Jian Yan didn’t lose unfairly to you."
Liou Qingcheng looked at Lin Tian questioningly, clearly unaware of any "goddess list."
Lin Tian explained it to Liou Qingcheng in a low voice, then looked at Li Tianmu and asked, "Why don’t you just say what you want. If it’s about the male god list, I have no time for you, I’m not interested in those rankings."
Li Tianmu laughed gracefully like a gentleman, "I have no interest in that list either, just like you."
Lin Tian became wary. He had a bad instinct about Li Tianmu, and his elegant look reminded Lin Tian of an old saying, the silent dog bites.
"Then what do you want?"
"I want you and Liou Qingcheng to join the Wind Snow Gang, and you can also join the student council. There’s even a vice president position available for you," Li Tianmu’s words were surprising, even the four people behind him and Qi Qiu were shocked.
Others didn’t know, but Li Tianmu had secretly investigated Lin Tian. He knew Lin Tian was not simple, most importantly, Lin Tian had an ambiguous relationship with Bai Shishi Mei Ruyan. If Lin Tian joined the Wind Snow Gang, it would be equivalent to connecting with Xianglong Tea House, then he could meddle in Kanyue City’s underground market and take a share.
Although Li Tianmu’s family had some power, becoming significant in Kanyue City’s underground market was impossible because Bai Shishi and Fu Dahai would not tolerate it.
Of course, Li Tianmu didn’t know that Bai Shishi and Lin Tian had had a falling out.
Lin Tian had killed Bai Tianming, but this matter was intercepted by the Security Management Institute, even Xu Ning’an didn’t know, so how could Li Tianmu know.
