Chapter 379: 379: Being Your Guarding Angel
“We were just saying that Goddess Yang’s beauty blows all the other campus beauties out of the water. She is the undisputed No. 1,” Cao Jianhui chuckled as he responded to Luo Ziling’s question, “Seriously, all those girls on the campus beauty list have flaws, except Goddess Yang. She’s perfect.”
“Yeah, yeah,” Li Fuming chimed in eagerly, “We are really envious that Boss, you found such a girl…”
He didn’t get to finish saying “girlfriend” before Luo Ziling interrupted him, “Enough, don’t talk about this topic anymore. If you bring it up again, be prepared get hit; but if you drop it, I’ve got fruit to share.”
“We want fruit,” the three guys immediately rushed over, Cao Jianhui yelling, “Brother wants to eat fruit to lose weight.”
Looking at the ridiculous antics of these three guys, Luo Ziling suddenly felt very happy. He was truly grateful to have met these three unique roommates. The debates and playfulness he shared with them gave him a sense of youth and vitality, along with a harmonious feeling that couldn’t be expressed in words.
Compared to the solitary life he had lived for over a decade, his current life was much more flavorful.
Most of the seasonal fruits Ling Ruonan had brought specifically for him were devoured by the three gluttons, who while eating kept making a racket about how lucky they were to have such fruit tonight, which wasn’t easy to find on the market.
After eating the fruit and causing a commotion, the four of them laid on their beds, chatting and playing with their phones.
Luo Ziling noticed the message from Yang Qingyin; it was sent over ten minutes ago, while he was bickering with the three guys and didn’t hear the notification sound. Yang Qingyin mentioned in her message that she was back and had reluctantly accompanied her roommate to celebrate her birthday. She also ran into a few self-important guys who tried to cozy up, and it was really tedious.
“Didn’t any guy take advantage of you?” Luo Ziling replied with a message, adding several smirking emojis.
“How could that happen? Xiaoli was with me!” Yang Qingyin replied with several eye-rolling emojis to express her displeasure.
Then, another message came in: “Junior, ‘Wolf Warrior 2,’ interested?”
“What?” Luo Ziling was confused, “What’s ‘Wolf Warrior 2’?”
“It’s a newly released movie that’s said to be really good,” a few giggling emojis followed Yang Qingyin’s message.
Luo Ziling immediately understood Yang Qingyin’s hint, “So how about I treat Little Yang to a movie tomorrow night?”
“If I’m free tomorrow, I’ll accompany Mr. Laolang to the movies, let’s hope there’s nothing on tomorrow night!” A few more giggling emojis followed.
From the giggling emojis that followed Yang Qingyin’s messages, Luo Ziling could feel she was in a good mood.
After chatting for a while, Yang Qingyin said she was sleepy and ready to go to bed.
After wishing each other good night, they stopped texting.
While browsing through other messages, Luo Ziling saw the message from Ouyang Huihui.
The message from Ouyang Huihui had been sent over an hour before.
“Luo Ziling, how about I treat you to a big meal in a couple of days and then go singing?” Surprisingly, the message was followed by several blushing emojis.
It wasn’t the blushing emojis that surprised Luo Ziling, but that there had been no other messages following the one sent over an hour ago.
Usually, if he didn’t promptly reply to Ouyang Huihui’s messages, this woman was bound to send follow-up messages chastising him.
Today was a bit odd.
“Is there some good news?” he replied.
Unexpectedly, Ouyang Huihui’s message came back immediately: “Are you willing or not?”
“Why are you treating me?” Luo Ziling felt it could be a trap, so he was very cautious.
“I’m not just inviting you alone; there are a few other people too. You can also invite your dormitory roommates.” Ouyang Huihui’s message was followed by a few blushing emojis.
Luo Ziling found it very strange and, after thinking for a while, he asked again, “Is it your birthday or something?”
As a response, Ouyang Huihui sent back several rolling eyes emojis.
This left Luo Ziling puzzled. What did her sending rolling eyes mean?
Was it or wasn’t it? Such a simple question, why couldn’t she just answer properly? Women are really bizarre creatures.
“Is it or not?” he persisted, asking again.
And he quickly added another message, “If it is, I need to prepare a gift for you!”
“Even if it’s not my birthday, you can still give me a gift!”
Seeing this message, Luo Ziling was pretty sure that Ouyang Huihui wanted to celebrate her birthday, so he didn’t refuse and promptly accepted: “Alright then, I accept your invitation and will definitely present a gift. By the way, when is it?”
“This Friday.”
This Friday. Luo Ziling calculated. Today was Tuesday, so the day after tomorrow. He felt sure he’d be free, so he immediately replied: “Okay, I’ll bring the three big clowns of our dorm to support your birthday party.”
Ouyang Huihui replied with a few face-covering laugh emojis.
Luo Ziling further confirmed that Friday, the nineteenth of October, was indeed Ouyang Huihui’s birthday.
At that moment, Ouyang Huihui sent another message: “Are you still planning to get English tutoring from the beautiful teacher?”
“I promised her, so I guess I have to go, otherwise she’d definitely be angry.”
“Then I’ll accompany you then, to be your Guarding Angel.”
Reading the words ‘Guarding Angel’, Luo Ziling couldn’t help but feel a bit of mixed emotions.
It was the first time he had heard the term “Guarding Angel”; wasn’t it usually “Flower Protector”?
“Alright then, you can come with me.” Just thinking about Chen Wanqing’s alluring ways, Luo Ziling was a little worried he might actually be devoured by her. Since Ouyang Huihui was willing to accompany him, he didn’t refuse.
After he finished chatting with Ouyang Huihui, Luo Ziling told his three roommates about her invitation to join the birthday celebration. As soon as the three guys, who were engrossed with their phones, heard the news, they instantly tossed aside their phones and gathered around.
“Really?” Cao Jianhui was somewhat incredulous, “Ouyang Huihui wants to invite us to her birthday party?”
Even though Luo Ziling was somewhat critical of Ouyang Huihui, in their eyes, she was a goddess far beyond their reach.
Especially Li Fuming and Wu Longjiang, who were so excited they almost came tumbling down from the top bunk.
Seeing how excited these three guys were, Luo Ziling scorned them quite a bit before he said grumpily, “If you guys don’t want to go, just pretend I didn’t say anything!”
“Go, must go, would rather die than not go,” Cao Jianhui yelled in agreement, “I will definitely choose a beautiful gift for Huihui.”
“I’m going to prepare a nice gift too,” Li Fuming chimed in loudly.
Wu Longjiang similarly expressed his intentions, as if giving Ouyang Huihui a gift was an honor for them.
Watching the three of them act this way, Luo Ziling once again showed his disdain.
However, he was unaware that attending Ouyang Huihui’s birthday gathering would stir up big trouble and become the beginning of a series of future hassles.
