Chapter 8: The Beauty Has an Appointment

  After finishing two classes in the afternoon, Lin Hui returned to her dormitory.

  At five o'clock, Wu Mengui's phone call came.

  "Lin Hui, where are you now? I just came out of the teaching building." Wu Mengqi's voice came over the phone.

  "I'm in the dormitory now, or I'll wait for you at the small square?" Lin Hui said.

  "Alright."

  After hanging up the phone, Lin Hui left the dormitory.

  "Old Lin, seize the opportunity!" At this time, Yan Ke shouted loudly from behind.

  Lin Hui arrived at the small square when Wu Mengqi had not yet arrived.

  A few minutes later, Lin Hui saw a beautiful figure walking over. Who else could it be but Wu Mengqi?

  Today's Wu Mengqi dressed up and had nothing different from usual, but still couldn't cover up her charm. A light green jacket on top paired with a fitted denim, long hair naturally scattered on her shoulders.

  "What would you like to eat? I'm treating today." Wu Mengqi walked over and said with a smile.

  "You're not afraid that I'll exhaust you?" Lin Hui smiled and said. According to his previous understanding of common sense, the prettier a girl is, the harder she is to get in touch with. However, he now finds that Wu Mengqi is much easier to get along with than he imagined, and chatting with her is very relaxing.

  Wu Mengqi flicked her hair and smiled, saying, "If you can eat that much, then I'll admit it."

  Two people chatted as they walked towards a small food street outside the school.

  All the way, Lin Hui felt that the gaze he had seen before had not stopped, and of course, he would not think that others were looking at him. This also made him sigh with emotion about Wu Menggui's great charm.

  "Little uncle."

  Just as the two people were about to reach Xiaoxi Gate, a sweet voice came over.

  Lin Hui fixed his eyes and took a look, it was actually Mengmeng whom he had met on the bus not long ago.

  It really was Lin Hui, Mengmeng's face revealed a surprised smile, then quickly ran over.

  "Little uncle, it's really you." Mengmeng said with her big round eyes wide open, looking at Lin Hui. "Huh, Mengjie sister, so you know little uncle too?"

  Meng Meng saw Wu Mengqi beside her and suddenly said with some surprise.

  "Mengmeng, do you know him?" Wu Mengqi pointed to Lin Hui beside her, with a seemingly curious expression on her face.

  "Yes, Uncle was so nice last time on the bus and gave up his seat to me. And Uncle's magic tricks are amazing!" Momo said with a pure face, not stingy with praise at all.

  Lin Hui felt a bit depressed at this time and asked seriously, "Meng Meng, why do you call me uncle, but call her sister?"

  Looking at Lin Hui like that, Wu Mengqi couldn't help but laugh.

  "On TV, it says that mature men are more charming, so they should be called older, but women like to be called younger. Is this not right?" Mengmeng's two bright eyes looked at Lin Hui and said, looking at Wu Menggui again.

  "Pfft." Hearing this explanation, Wu Mengqi and Lin Hui couldn't help but burst out laughing. How talented is that?

  Lin Hui was speechless for a moment, and he couldn't find any reason to refute. He admitted that he had been defeated.

  At this time, a fifty- or sixty-year-old man walked over with a smile on his face.

  "Hello Professor Wang."

  "Meng Qi, where are you all going?" Wang Jiawen asked with a smile, apparently he knew Wu Meng Qi.

  "I was just about to go out for dinner." Wu Mengqi said.

  "Grandpa, this is the little uncle I was telling you about." Mengmeng introduced immediately upon seeing her grandpa arrive.

  "Professor Wang is good." Lin Hui said politely, and suddenly remembered that this old man was the dean of the School of Economics.

  Wang Jia Wen looked at Lin Hui and said with a gentle face, "This girl has been mentioning you frequently lately, hehe."

  After chatting for a few sentences, Lin Hui and Wu Mengqi said goodbye to Wang Jiawen.

  Just two steps away, Mengmeng rushed over with an urgent face and looked at Lin Hui, saying, "Uncle, can you give me your phone number?" Her eyes were filled with expectation.

  Lin Hui was taken aback and immediately told Mengmeng her phone number.

  With a satisfied expression, Mengmeng quickly ran back to her grandfather's side and said, "Mengxi sister, uncle, goodbye."

  "How did you know Mengmeng?" Lin Hui asked curiously after walking out of Xiaoxi Gate.

  "His grandfather had taught us before. Once Mengmeng came to school, I happened to go to Professor Wang's office and got to know him." Wu Menggui said.

  After leaving the small western gate, the two people walked and talked, finally finding a stir-fry restaurant, this type of small restaurant is very common on this street.

  After ordering food, Wu Mengjie suddenly asked with a curious face, "Just now Miao said you are very good at magic tricks, is it true?"

  "Do you want to see?"

  Wu Mengui nodded suddenly, "Won't it change without preparation?"

  "Take a closer look." Lin Hui casually pulled out a paper towel and crumpled it into a ball in his palm, slowly closing his hand.

  Lin Hui put his clenched fist in front of Wu Mengqi and smiled, "Blow a breath, the things inside will change."

  Wu Mengqi obviously didn't believe it, "making a mystery out of nothing." Wu Mengqi smiled and whispered, but still cooperated with Lin Hui to blow gently.

  Lin Hui withdrew his fist and slowly opened it. There was a stick of rock candy lying in the middle of his palm.

  "This is what you blew out, I'll give it to you." Lin Hui handed the lollipop to Wu Mengqi.

  Wu Mengqi's eyes widened in disbelief, her face filled with skepticism, as she held the lollipop and looked at it from left to right. In the end, she had no choice but to acknowledge a reality: Lin Hui really could perform magic tricks.

  Until after dinner, Wu Mengqi still hadn't figured out how Lin Hui had appeared.

  Lin Hui originally intended to pay for it himself, but Wu Mengqi seemed to know his intention and paid first, even pretending to be angry and glaring at Lin Hui.

  After dinner, the two of them didn't go anywhere else and directly headed towards the dormitory building. It's just that somehow, both of them walked very slowly.

  Just as the two of them were chatting, a figure suddenly walked over from the side.

  "Lin Hui, Meng Qi, is it really the two of you?" Ye Jing Hao looked at the two people with a surprised face. He had already recognized Lin Hui before, and when he found out that there was another girl beside him, he suddenly wanted to take a look at what she looked like. Unexpectedly, this one glance revealed another familiar person.

  Wu Mengui was also from the student union, so he knew him of course.

  "Jinghao, do you know Lin Hui?" Wu Mengqi asked.

  "I and he are in the same dorm, how can we not know each other?" Ye Jinghao said, "Forget it, I won't say anymore, I have something to do and will leave first, you guys continue." Before Lin Hui could speak, Ye Jinghao had already run off.

  Ye Jinghao's sudden appearance seemed to have created a subtle atmosphere between the two people, but neither of them felt embarrassed about it.

  Before long, the two of them had walked to the bottom of Building 2 girls' dormitory. Lin Hui felt for the first time that the school road was too short.

  At this time, Ye Jinghao had just returned to the dormitory and excitedly said: "You guys guess what I just saw on the road?"

  "What?" Yan Ke asked subconsciously, seeing Ye Jinghao's expression and opening his mouth to say, "It can't be Lin Hui, right?"

  "Half correct."

  Yan Ke suddenly became interested, "Is there a beautiful woman next to you? ...Hey, stop teasing and tell me quickly, what does she look like?"

  "You should know her," said Ye Jinghao.

  "What? What's your name?"

  Wu Mengqi.

  "My god!" Yan Ke was stunned for a moment, then two words burst out of his mouth, with an expression of disbelief on his face. "Are you sure it's not just your eyes playing tricks on you?" Wu Mengqi knew better than anyone else; he had seen it since freshman year.

  "I've already gone over and spoken, how can I be wrong?" Ye Jinghao muttered.

  Yan Ke's interest seemed to be piqued even more, "You said they were two how did they know each other..."

  Two people started gossiping and chatting, while Li Lifeng on the side occasionally poked his head over to say a few words, apparently he was also interested.

  As soon as Lin Hui entered the dormitory, he found six pairs of eyes staring at him instantly.

  "No need for me to say it, confess and get leniency, resist and face severity." said a stern-looking judge-like figure.

  "It's just a meal, what's the big deal?" Lin Hui said, "Jinghao isn't blind."

  "Do you still remember when the school started, I said that there was a strong opponent for the student union president election? That person is Wu Mengqi." Ye Jinghao said, "She used to be in the student union too, her performance and ability are not worse than mine, some aspects are even better than me, but she didn't participate in the election, after the handover, she quit from the student union."

  "It sounds like a big deal." Yan Ke muttered beside him.

  "At first I was a bit puzzled as to why she had quit so suddenly, but later on I found out that she was going to set up her own studio, so in the future she wouldn't have time to stay in the student union anymore."

  Ye Jinghao didn't wait for Lin Hui and Yan Ke to ask questions, and continued, "She majored in management, but she seems to have a very high design talent. I heard that she won many design awards as early as her freshman year, some of which were even at the provincial level. Now she is preparing to set up her own studio."

  "It's a bit of a pity..." Yan Ke couldn't help but sigh, then looked at Lin Hui beside him with some sympathy.

  "Brother, although it's a bit more difficult, there is still hope."

  Lin Hui was also surprised, he didn't think Wu Mengqi was so formidable.

  "Hey, I'm saying you're not going to be scared and give up, are you? This isn't like you at all." Yan Ke said, staring at Lin Hui.

  Ye Jinghao also had an encouraging expression, "I'm saying this not to make you give up, but to let you understand her better. There are countless people chasing after her, yet no one has ever heard of her having dinner alone with a guy before. You should be the first."

  Lin Hui couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time, "What's going on here? I just met her, don't think too much."

  After finishing speaking, he sat back in his own seat. Although there was nothing unusual on the surface, a ripple had formed in his heart.

  Thinking of Wu Mengqi, Lin Hui muttered after a long time, "It seems that it's actually pretty good..."
