Chapter 166 - 165: Was I Too Rough Yesterday?

At that moment, He Jian was practically bursting with emotion, flawlessly expressing the loneliness, the solitude, and... his desperate yearning for a woman.

Yes, he was really so damn thirsty. After spending almost half a semester in the School of Information Science, he felt like he was about to become a monk!

Although the School of Information Science had a top-tier beauty like Luo Yue, she was the only one. Besides, they didn’t think for a second that Luo Yue would ever be interested in them...

To be honest, having a beauty like that around actually made them feel worse.

After all, she was someone they could see but never touch—the distance between them was just too great.

"Stop, stop. If you keep blabbering and spouting nonsense at me, I really won’t help with anything," Ye Ling immediately cut him off.

’This guy, putting on a show like this... Anyone who didn’t know better would think there was some kind of unspeakable relationship between him and He Jian...’

’Ugh, so disgusting!’

"Hehe, Brother Ling, I knew you were the best."

The moment He Jian heard Ye Ling’s words, he jumped to the conclusion that Ye Ling had agreed to help. The miserable look on his face instantly vanished, replaced by his usual sly grin.

"Spit it out."

Ye Ling said, annoyed.

"Brother Ling, it’s actually not a big deal. It’s just that besides our School of Information Science, the Mechanical College also wants to have a social mixer with the School of Arts..."

Yang Yu, who was standing to the side, finally couldn’t help but chime in, saying slyly, "We’ve already communicated with them. As long as you can participate—even if you just show your face—the School of Arts will have the mixer with us."

"Me?"

Ye Ling was completely baffled.

’The fact that I have a girlfriend should be common knowledge at Modu University by now, right? Why would they want me to participate?’

"Ah, Brother Ling, you probably don’t know your current status at Modu University. It’s simply unprecedented, never to be seen again..."

"Stop, stop."

Ye Ling immediately cut off his pointless rambling, rolled his eyes in annoyance, and said, "Be concise. Get to the point."

"Well, uh, it’s just that the girls from the School of Arts all admire you and want to see you in person. It’s that simple. You just need to be there."

Yang Yu said immediately.

"Is that so..."

Ye Ling thought about it for a moment. Attending this social mixer wasn’t a big deal; after all, he was free anyway.

But he felt he should discuss something like this with Ning Ruoxi first... Then again, Ning Ruoxi was from the School of Arts. Maybe she would be attending too?

"I need to go discuss this with my girl. I’ll let you know once I’ve decided."

’I’ve really worried myself sick for these single brothers of mine,’ Ye Ling thought. ’Oh well, I’ll just treat it as a good deed and rack up some good karma.’

"Long live Brother Ling!"

He Jian and the other two immediately shouted in unison.

"Shouting, shouting, what’s all the shouting about? Get your asses back to your seats, class is about to start!"

Just then, a rather stern-looking middle-aged man walked in through the doorway and immediately shot a glare at He Jian and the others.

"Alright, alright, we’re going."

Seeing the man, the three of them shrank back and hurriedly pulled Ye Ling back to their seats.

Ye Ling was amused by their timid reactions.

’Even these little hell-raisers are afraid of a teacher?’

"Do you guys know him?"

Ye Ling asked curiously.

"Brother Ling, you really need to start paying attention to the campus forums. This guy is one of the infamous ’Three Evils of Modu University.’"

He Jian couldn’t help but sigh. "Man, I’m starting to miss that pretty teacher we had before. Damn it, why’d they have to switch to him?"

"The Three Evils?"

Ye Ling raised an eyebrow, looking at the middle-aged man with great interest.

The man was dressed in the standard uniform of a STEM guy: a plaid shirt that was washed particularly clean, a pair of jeans, and sneakers.

Although he had been given the rundown by He Jian and the others at the beginning, Ye Ling found himself listening with great interest as the class went on.

In reality, he already knew all the material, but the professor peppered his lecture with some personal tidbits that made it quite interesting.

"I think he’s a good lecturer."

After the man left, Ye Ling turned to his three brothers and said.

"Good my ass! I didn’t understand a single thing."

He Jian tossed his book aside, a look of annoyance on his face. "It was all unnecessarily complicated. Other than the jokes he told, I didn’t understand anything."

"What a coincidence, me too!"

Yang Yu immediately looked as if he had found a kindred spirit.

"That’s because you guys are hopeless. Don’t blame the teacher."

Ye Ling rolled his eyes and said irritably.

’To be honest, he really thought this teacher was good. He was very experienced and had developed a polished teaching style.’

’He wasn’t like the pretty teacher from before, whose lectures were completely by-the-book, basically just following the textbook. If you really had to say you were paying attention in her class, it was only to look at her face and figure.’

’As for anything else... the gains were minimal!’

Ye Ling took out his phone and glanced at it. He had a few unread messages from Ning Ruoxi, basically saying her butt hurt and she wasn’t coming to school today.

’Her butt hurts?’

A strange look appeared in Ye Ling’s eyes, and for a moment, he couldn’t help but wonder if he’d been a little too rough yesterday...

’It couldn’t have been that bad, could it?’ he thought.

"Brother Ling, chatting with your sis-in-law?" He Jian suddenly said, wiggling his eyebrows.

"You talk too much."

Ye Ling shot him an annoyed glare. "And whose fault is this? Isn’t it for the sake of getting you guys a girlfriend?"

"You dumbass, shut up! Do you think you can just interrupt Brother Ling while he’s talking to his girl?"

Hearing this, Yang Yu immediately pulled He Jian aside.

’Fucking hell.’

’Can’t let this idiot bother Ye Ling. If Ye Ling gets pissed off and decides not to come, we’ll be totally screwed, won’t we?’

’So much for getting a girlfriend.’

Watching these clowns, Ye Ling couldn’t help but shake his head helplessly. A smile touched his lips as he quickly texted Ning Ruoxi about the social mixer.

The message had just been sent when Ning Ruoxi replied instantly.

[Ning Ruoxi: You’re going to a social mixer? *fierce.jpg*]

[Ye Ling: It’s just that my single-as-a-dog brothers from my old dorm still haven’t found anyone. I have to help them out, right? We used to live in the same dorm, after all. If these guys really go four years without finding girlfriends, it’ll be embarrassing for me.]

[Ning Ruoxi: Hmph! I’m mad anyway. I don’t care!]

[Ye Ling: C’mon, babe, be good. Anyway, our School of Information Science is having the mixer with your School of Arts, so you can come too~]

[Ning Ruoxi: ...]

[Ye Ling: You’re the best, babe. Will you come with me then, please?]

[Ning Ruoxi: Hmph, fine. I guess I’ll reluctantly agree.]
