Chapter 586: How Much Does She Owe You?
“What happened?” Although Lin Jie was in doubt, he immediately headed out . He drove Ziliang’s Rolls-Royce, and under the envious stares of many students, who pretended to be full of disdain, Lin Jie left swiftly .
Zheng Ziliang had already prepared a spare car key for Lin Jie in case the tragic situation of “wanting to show off to girls and bring them around but did not have a suitable vehicle” happened .
This was the first time Lin Jie was driving Ziliang’s Rolls-Royce . In reality, with Lin Jie’s assets now, he could buy a similar or even better car any time, but Lin Jie still liked walking more .
He liked the feeling to be down to earth as each step he took was stable, and to consider problems calmly .
At the Academy of Arts, it was where Bu Yi and Qiu Yuan were studying . Naturally, the one thing that was not lacking in a school filled with the artistic atmosphere was beauties . Meanwhile, of course, there would be plenty of pampered sons of wealthy families, or people with high status would follow and chase those beauties .
When the Rolls-Royce passed, a handsome arc was formed as it stopped at the university entrance .
“Lin Jie!” A voice that seemed to be relieved could be heard . Then Bu Yi dashed at Lin Jie and held his wrist tightly . She whispered, “Help me out!”
Lin Jie’s attention was fixed on Bu Yi . She was wearing a white and slightly pink short jacket, and a milky white sweater, which tightly enveloped her thin curvy seductive waist . Her off-white tights covered her long fair, and beautiful legs with a small black skirt .
Bu Yi’s style could be described as pure university student attire . She had a quiet and elegant face but just had to have a great figure . Being held on the hand by such a beauty with such a hopeful expression, such a scene made blood rush to Lin Jie’s head and stunned him right there . Only until the gossiping sounds beside him could be heard did he regain his wits and recover his calm face .
In front of him, there were ten girls, who were counted as quite beautiful, but Lin Jie habitually ignored them .
Those girls sized up Lin Jie and took a look at the expensive car behind him . They started gossiping and asked, “Li Ying, is this your boyfriend?”
“Are you joining the ball with him? That’s going to break the hearts of plenty of handsome guys . ”
“Driving Rolls-Royce, hmph, and I thought you hated rich people…”
Three women make a market, four a fair, not to mention ten .
However, those few girls were actually good in advancing the situation now, with such a boyfriend title it made Lin Jie extremely comfortable . Thus Lin Jie’s eyes could not help but be much gentler . Bu Yi’s face was also slightly red, but she did not retreat . Instead, she hugged Lin Jie’s hand just like that as her body trembled slightly, afraid that Lin Jie might fling her hand away .
At that moment, a man rushed towards them . He had a square face . There were two pimples on his face, one on his forehead and the other under his nose . He looked at Lin Jie and Bu Yi with a blank face as he walked towards them dispiritedly . He then suddenly shouted, “Li Ying, this isn’t real! I’ve liked you for so many years, do you really not know how I feel?”
Lin Jie’s mouth twitched . ‘This person…’
That fellow was named Xiao Yu and was high school classmates with Bu Yi . It was said that he had always thought of Bu Yi as his goddess, but his methods for showing his love would normally render people speechless as his EQ was negative . In high school, he would send messages to Bu Yi’s parents directly, saying that he would definitely visit them after graduating and ask for her hand in marriage . That had made Bu Yi’s parents appalled, and they had hurriedly transferred their daughter to another class .
Since Bu Yi had entered university, this science student had also entered the Academy of Arts . He would wait at the dorm entrance every day, and Bu Yi had a good temperament, so she did not know how to chase him away . Thus, she had been trying to leave her room as little as possible . That was also one of the reasons Bu Yi had entered The New Age .
Today, the Academy of Arts was hosting a ball for the whole university, so Xiao Yu pestered her and came here again . Without any other choice, Bu Yi could only call for reinforcements .
Bu Yi’s family was extremely strict, so originally, the men she knew were few, and those with a good relationship with her were even more scarce . Therefore, she had sent Lin Jie that message in hope he would come to save her .
“My fellow man, you shouted so loudly that even I know how you feel,” said Lin Jie helplessly .
Xiao Yu sized up Lin Jie . “You know? Then can you help me?”
Lin Jie nodded his head seriously . “Of course . ”
“Really? Then could you please let her—”
“How much does she owe you?”
Lin Jie looked at the stunned Xiao Yu and added, “Brother, it’s nothing if a girl owes you some money, but it’s just collecting debt, do you have to be this relentless?”
“Psht… Xiao Yu, you really look like a loan shark’s debt collector . ” A girl at the side could not help but laugh . What Lin Jie had said was really quite mean—Xiao Yu’s wholehearted chasing and being head over heels for Bu Yi had turned into chasing debt . Lin Jie was really evil!
“I am not chasing debt, I am chasing her!” shouted Xiao Yu . His voice was exceptionally loud and instantly attracted the attention of numerous people .

Bu Yi shouted, “Stop following me, I said I have a boyfriend, and I don’t like you! Also, you keep sending messages to my parents . It’s annoying!”
Lin Jie looked at him weirdly . ‘He’s relentless!’ He actually wanted to directly involve others’ parents to reach his goal—this was the f*cking highest realm of dating, but too bad he had chosen the wrong person .
Lin Jie put his hand over Bu Yi’s shoulder, glared at Xiao Yu, and said, “Brother, she’s taken, definitely not going to be available anymore! If you keep on bothering her, then don’t blame me for not holding back!”
“What can you do?” asked the enraged Xiao Yu . He took off his shirt and exposed his muscles in the winter night .
“Security guard, there’s someone here acting indecently trying to blackmail people!” Lin Jie shouted to the security guard at the entrance .
The security guard took a look and saw a half-naked man in the night . Hence, without hesitation, he rushed and took Xiao Yu to the security office to question him .
Lin Jie chuckled before lowering his head and saying beside Bu Yi’s ear, “Settled!”
Bu Yi’s ear was slightly hot . Her face was still snuggled in Lin Jie’s chest as she whispered, “Hey, are you still not letting go? There are so many people watching!”
“It’s because there are so many people that I can’t let go . Do you still want to be bothered by that person?” asked Lin Jie .
“Then… continue hugging,” replied Bu Yi softly .
Lin Jie raised his head and said with a smile, “Sorry for the commotion . We’ll leave first . See you at the ball . ”
After bidding farewell with those girls, the two of them walked into the university like the many couples .
The Academy of Arts was much prettier than Lin Jie’s University of Arts and Sciences . Maybe it was for art students to take photos or do samplings, and thus, many genetically modified Flowers of Four Seasons were grafted . Those flowers would not wither in the four seasons of a year, and that allowed the school to be illusionary . The left side was a sakura forest, the right side was a peach blossom forest, and the scent of flowers could be smelled everywhere—the scenery was magnificent!
“Very pretty, right?” Bu Yi chuckled .

“Yes, it’s beautiful since it’s not my university,” Lin Jie joked . “In such a map, the favorability between men and women would increase greatly . It’s no wonder the dating success rate is extremely high in your Academy of Arts . ”
“What logic is that? It’s just that Academy of Arts students like romantic stuff, that’s all,” replied Bu Yi with a smile . “That’s right, thank you for helping me this time . Originally, I did not want to attend this ball, but the organizer is one of my best friends so—”
“I understand, totally understand . Oh right, when is the ball?”
“21:00 . ”
“Erm, let’s go take a look at the cafeteria . ”
As the saying went, “One is marked by the company one keeps . ” After being close to people like Lin Jie, who was a hothead, Bu Yi also felt that her EQ had decreased greatly . Thus, over time, she had gotten used to it .
The two of them really went to the university’s cafeteria .
Lin Jie took a look at the food menu . He did not hold back and used Bu Yi’s school card to order one serving of Boiled Fish with Sichuan Pickles hotpot and started devouring the food . There was no choice as after he had been playing The New Age around the clock, and he still had not had the time to eat dinner before he had been called over by Bu Yi . If he went to some ball with an empty stomach, he wouldn’t be able to take it anymore!
“Here, drink bubble tea . ” Bu Yi held two cups of bubble tea in her hands and placed one in front of Lin Jie . She smiled gently and said, “Just take it as the payment for hiring you to dance with me . ”
Lin Jie swallowed the food in his mouth with a gulp . Then he said in an unclear voice, “Is my value that low? How about you cook a meal for me the next time? This hotpot is not even 1/10,000 as good as the one you make . ”
“You have not eaten something I’ve cooked before, how do you know it’ll taste good?”
“I guessed!”
Just as they were eating peacefully, an attractive voice sounded . “Isn’t this Li Ying? Eh, is this your classmate?”

It was a relatively good-looking man . That’s right, good-looking, Lin Jie could not find any other adjectives to describe him . His skin was delicate and fair, with long hair reaching his shoulders . If it were not for his slightly burly figure and that huge adam’s apple, Lin Jie would have thought he was a woman . Lin Jie keenly noticed something was not right, and he corrected that man, “I’m her boyfriend . ”
“Hehehe, brother, you like to joke around . Introducing myself, my name is Zheng Junyi . My game ID is Passing By Her, I am the vice guild leader of the Kunpeng guild,” said Zheng Junyi with a smile . As he mentioned his game ID, he could not help but puff up his chest—it was obvious he was proud of that name . Passing By Her was the dark horse of the Rankings Board! He had been quite popular recently and was called the best Summoner of the City of Light .
As The New Age’s influence became larger and larger, players gradually started to mention their achievements in the game, which had become a method for gaining popularity .
“I’m not joking around,” said Lin Jie calmly .
“Hehe… Alright then, do you play The New Age? Li Ying could be said to be the goddess of our faculty . She is the Brotherhood’s Ascetic Priest Bu Yi! It can’t be that you don’t play the game, right?” Zheng Junyi’s gaze was extremely malicious .
Lin Jie could not help but roll his eyes . Who would have thought that Bu Yi would be so popular that amongst her pursuers was not only an obsessed man but also a shemale?
Lin Jie grabbed the cup of bubble tea and finished it in one mouthful . The sound of the straw sucking air made the contempt in Zheng Junyi grow deeper .
“Of course, I play . I am the Brotherhood’s leader, also known as Codename Lone Wolf . ”
“Psht… Hahaha, your name precedes you . I never imagined that you were Codename Lone Wolf, hahaha . ” Zheng Junyi laughed until his back was bent . He patted Lin Jie’s shoulder, smiled, and said, “That’s great, Leader Lone Wolf . There’s a competition later . Let’s have a good battle . Please make sure not to flee . ”
“Codename Lone Wolf? Hahaha, Li Ying, your friend is quite humorous . ” Zheng Junyi laughed out heartily as he left .
Bu Yi said helplessly, “Sorry for causing you trouble . These people learned that I was playing in the game from who knows where, and it has escalated to this… Their main goal is not to chase me . They hope I can share information about our Brotherhood’s endeavors . I am… not the popular . ”
After speaking the last sentence, Bu Yi’s face became even redder, and her voice was as soft as a mosquito . Was she hinting something with what she said?
“Don’t worry, I’m here,” said Lin Jie solemnly .
