Chapter 140 Side Story: The Real World (5)

The man on the podium was Shen Yihe.

That face was no different from the one Wen Li remembered.

However, Shen Yihe in the real world has a more gentle temperament and is less sharp than the one in the Beast World Continent.

Today he was wearing a simple white shirt, black trousers, and a high-quality quartz watch on his wrist.

Despite his simple attire, he exudes undeniable charm.

Wen Li noticed that several girls around her were staring intently at Shen Yihe on the podium.

But his charm goes beyond that, and many boys around him are also captivated by him.

"Hello everyone!" Shen Yihe's gaze swept over the crowd in the lecture hall, and he waved with a smile.

His gaze swept over Wen Li without lingering for a moment.

Clearly, he hadn't noticed Wen Li.

The lecture began after Shen Yihe arrived.

Wen Li was initially surprised that the professor in front of her had the same face as Shen Yihe, but soon she became engrossed in his lecture.

It must be said that there is a reason why Professor Shen is so popular.

He spoke very well, and was witty and humorous.

Rong Qi is right, she not only has good looks, but also talent.

The first half of the lecture ended just like that, leaving everyone feeling a little unsatisfied.

Rong Qi nudged Wen Li and said with a smile, "Am I right? Isn't Professor Shen very charming?"

Wen Li nodded in agreement and looked at the man drinking water on the podium.

It's currently break time, but the lecture isn't completely over yet; Shen Yihe will continue with the second half of the lecture later.

Wen Li watched as Shen Yihe's well-defined knuckles slowly unscrewed the thermos, and as he picked it up, the rim pressed against his lips, his Adam's apple bobbing.

This scene is incredibly sexy, especially Shen Yihe's throat, which is very beautiful, with a unique charm in its protruding curve.

Some daring students have already taken out their phones and started recording.

Shen Yihe clearly didn't care about these things and didn't say anything to stop them.

He tilted his head back, slowly drank the tea in his cup, and his lazy, peach-blossom eyes swept over every face in the lecture hall.

This time, their eyes met.

Wen Li's heart skipped a beat for a moment as she subconsciously recognized the face.

Shen Yihe paused for a moment, then looked away.

The break between classes was very short; Shen Yihe barely had time to drink water before the bell rang.

Students who had gone to the restrooms gradually returned, and the classroom was packed again. The lecture continued.

The lecture ended on time forty minutes later.

Wen Li and Rong Qi had originally planned to have dinner together at the newly opened restaurant on campus after the lecture.

However, during the latter half of the lecture, Rong Qi frequently looked at her phone.

"What's wrong?" Wen Li couldn't help but ask when Rong Qi frowned for the third time.

Upon hearing this, Rong Qi subconsciously looked at Wen Li, her furrowed brows still furrowed.

“My supervisor sent me a message,” Rong Qi said.

"Has something happened?" Wen Li asked.

Rong Qi scratched her head, feeling a headache coming on. "It is a bit troublesome."

After saying that, she quickly typed on her phone to reply to the group message.

When the group chat quieted down, Shen Yihe's lecture also ended.

Wen Li remained silent, waiting for Rong Qi to finish replying to her message.

People gradually left the classroom, which was now mostly empty except for a small number of people, but Shen Yihe was still there.

Rong Qi looked at Wen Li apologetically, "I probably won't be able to have dinner with you. There's been a problem with the experimental data, and our supervisor wants us to go to the lab right now. I'm sorry."

Judging from Rong Qi's expression, Wen Li already knew what was going to happen.

Hearing her say this now, I can only feel that—sure enough, it's pretty much exactly what she guessed.

"It's alright, you go ahead," Wen Li said. "There's nothing we can do about it. We can make an appointment next time. Anyway, I'm free these days."

Although Rong Qi heard Wen Li say that, she still felt bad.

She suddenly turned her head and looked at Qin Nuo beside her, and suddenly an idea came to her.

"Junior Qin, are you free later? How about you help me guide my friend?" Rong Qi asked expectantly.

Upon hearing Rong Qi's words, Wen Li also looked at Arno.

If it were Arnold... it doesn't seem like a bad idea.

Arno's cheeks flushed the moment he felt Wen Li's gaze.

He shook his head stiffly, "I...I'm not free for a while, the teacher is looking for me."

To prove his point, Arno took out his phone and showed the two of them the chat history.

Arnold was actually quite willing, but he couldn't disobey his teacher's orders.

This really worried Rong Qi.

She was the one who invited Wen Li first, and Wen Li had come all the way to see her, but she hadn't been able to properly entertain her.

Rong Qi felt very uncomfortable.

Wen Li noticed this as well and quickly said it was alright.

"Go ahead, don't worry about me, I can manage on my own," Wen Li said with a smile.

Her thoughtfulness only made Rong Qi more embarrassed.

Wen Li continued, "We'll talk about it when you're free next time. I'll come find you then, and you can treat me well again."

"Send me the shop's location, I'll go there myself in a bit." Rong Qi sent the shop's location to Wen Li.

After sending the message, I started browsing my friends list, thinking, "Let me see if I can ask someone to help me out."

Since Wen Li had finally come to their school, and there were quite a few places to visit, Rong Qi still wanted to arrange a tour guide for her.

Before Wen Li could even politely decline, Rong Qi made a phone call.

“Wait here, I’ll ask this junior if he’s free,” Rong Qi said.

"never mind……"

Seeing that she was about to refuse, Rong Qi said, "This junior is very handsome."

Wen Li swallowed the words she wanted to say in an instant.

Ahem... Since he's so handsome, then she'll gladly accept him.

Rong Qi answered the phone and asked directly, "Are you free?"

Wen Li vaguely heard the other person's reply: "What is it?"

Rong Qi said, "A friend of mine is visiting the school. Could you show her around for me?"

"I'm busy," the person on the other end said.

Rong Qi immediately dropped her trump card: "She's a stunning beauty."

The other party remained unmoved: "I'm busy."

Rong Qi: "..."

She was truly at her wit's end.

Rong Qi sighed, "Then forget it. I was originally planning to bring you Jiaming's cake. If you refuse, I'll find someone else."

No sooner had Rong Qi finished speaking than she heard the reply from the other end: "Deal."

A triumphant smile appeared on her face. As long as she used the food as her trump card, her junior would not refuse her.

Rong Qi then gave the address of her teaching building and urged, "Hurry up and come over."

After hanging up the phone, Rong Qi smiled smugly at Wen Li: "He'll be here soon. I'll have him show you around the school."

Wen Li said, "Actually, it's not necessary."

She wasn't familiar with the other person, so it might be awkward to be around them.

But undeniably, she felt a flutter in her heart when she heard Rong Qi say that the other person was handsome.

"Don't worry, it won't be awkward. He's a very nice person and very handsome. You'll definitely be satisfied."

Rong Qi believed that if Wen Li saw her junior, she would no longer refuse.

No woman can resist that face.

“Besides, he knows a lot of good restaurants. Just tell him what you want to eat. You don’t necessarily have to go to the one I recommended. There are quite a few good places to eat around our school. Let him take you there,” Rong Qi said. Wen Li nodded thoughtfully.

Rong Qi made arrangements for Wen Li, and the three of them prepared to leave the classroom.

Shen Yihe was still standing on the podium, replying to some message with his head down, while Wen Li and the others left through the back door.

Before leaving, she couldn't help but glance at Shen Yihe.

Their eyes met unexpectedly.

Wen Li subconsciously smiled at the other person and clearly sensed that Shen Yihe was stunned. Then he returned a polite smile.

Wen Li's heart pounded.

Shen Yihe's face was Wen Li's favorite face, and it looked very much like her favorite anime character. This face was extremely attractive.

Seeing it again, I still can't help but be moved.

The three left the classroom and arrived at the entrance of the teaching building.

Rong Qi and Arno will be going to the lab to organize the data soon.

The situation was urgent, and they didn't even have time to eat. Logically, they should have set off right now.

However, the two were worried about Wen Li and planned to wait until their junior arrived before leaving.

Fortunately, the junior arrived quickly.

Rong Qi noticed him from afar and waved vigorously: "Hurry up!"

Wen Li looked over and saw a tall, familiar figure appear in her field of vision. As the person approached, the face became clearer and clearer.

Wen Li's eyes widened.

The junior Rong Qi was referring to was the young man who looked exactly like Xin Yuan.

He was a student at University A?!
Is the world really that small?

The other person drew closer and closer, and soon appeared in front of Wen Li.

When he saw Wen Li, he looked slightly surprised, clearly recognizing her as the person he had met at the cake shop that day.

Rong Qi introduced her enthusiastically: "This is my friend. Could you help me look after her for a while? Thank you, Junior Xin."

Xin Yuan looked at Wen Li, then nodded to Rong Qi: "Okay, I understand."

"You two have fun, I'm leaving now."

After handing Wen Li over to her junior, Rong Qi found an electric scooter nearby, scanned the code, and drove off.

Her figure quickly disappeared from Wen Li's sight.

Wen Li and Xin Yuan were left standing on the steps of the teaching building, looking at each other in bewilderment.

“It’s you,” Xin Yuan said.

Wen Li gave him an unnatural smile, then said, "I didn't expect it to be you either."

Rong Qi is right, Xin Yuan is very handsome, his face is almost flawless.

"Where do you want to go?" Xin Yuan asked Wen Li.

"Let's eat," Wen Li said. "Rong Qi recommended a restaurant to me. It just opened at your school, and she said it's very good."

When food was mentioned, Xin Yuan became much more energetic: "Which restaurant?" he asked.

Wen Li gave the name of the shop.

After listening, Xin Yuan said seriously, "The food at this restaurant is just average."

"Really? I'm not quite sure, this is my first time at your school." Wen Li glanced at Xin Yuan and said softly, "Do you have any shop recommendations?"

Xin Yuan asked, "What would you like to eat?"

"Just recommend one to me," Wen Li said. "I don't really have anything I'm craving right now."

Xin Yuan didn't ask any further questions and nodded: "You haven't had lunch yet, have you?"

Wen Li hummed in agreement.

“Okay, I understand. Then come with me,” Xin Yuan said.

The two walked one after the other on the main road of the campus.

The sky gradually darkened.

Xin Yuan looked up at the sky and frowned: "It's going to rain soon, let's hurry up."

"Okay." Wen Li quickened her pace.

After walking for a while, Wen Li couldn't help but ask, "How much longer?"

Xin Yuan said, "We'll be there soon, just ahead."

Xin Yuan wasn't exaggerating; what he said was right in front of them was indeed right in front of them. Wen Li only walked for two minutes before arriving at the cafeteria of University A.

This cafeteria is quite famous; many online influencers have visited it, and several of their dishes are quite good.

"There are several good restaurants in the cafeteria," Xin Yuan said. "Take a look and see what you'd like to eat."

Xin Yuan led Wen Li on a tour.

On Xin Yuan's recommendation, Wen Li ordered a famous noodle shop specializing in fried sauce noodles.

Xin Yuan also ordered one for himself, and then went to other stores and ordered a bunch of other things.

Xin Yuan ordered one dish from each of the three shops, and the table was almost full.

Wen Li stared in disbelief: "Are you going to eat all of these?"

Xin Yuan calmly replied, "Yes."

"Do you usually eat this much?" Wen Li asked again.

Xin Yuan glanced at it: "Not that many."

Wen Li was speechless for a moment.

Isn't that a lot? That's equivalent to three or four of her meals!
Can Xin Yuan really finish all that food by himself?
Xin Yuan quickly surprised Wen Li by finishing the entire meal.

He had a huge appetite; he devoured the entire table of food.

Wen Li couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "She really can eat!"

Despite his large appetite, Xin Yuan remains very thin.

After the meal, the two left the cafeteria.

Xin Yuan asked Wen Li, "Where would you like to go?"

“I’m not familiar with your school,” Wen Li said. “Why don’t you show me around? You shouldn’t have any classes today, right?”

"No classes," Xin Yuan said.

He thought about it carefully, and then led Wen Li to the school's art gallery.

As they walked, Wen Li took the initiative to ask, "How did you and Rong Qi meet?"

“The same club,” Xin Yuan replied.

"Oh." Wen Li didn't know what to ask.

She always felt that Xin Yuan didn't really want to talk to her, and she didn't want to make a fool of herself or cause any more embarrassment.

After a moment of silence, Xin Yuan noticed Wen Li's change and said, "Thank you for paying for my bill last time, and... the cake too."

Wen Li hadn't mentioned it before and thought he had forgotten, but now that he brought it up, she was pleasantly surprised: "You still remember? I thought you had forgotten."

Xin Yuan said awkwardly, "How could that be? I'll pay that money later..."

Xin Yuan felt it wasn't appropriate to let Wen Li treat them.

"No, no need," Wen Li quickly refused.

Xin Yuan frowned: "But I feel this isn't a good idea."

Wen Li gave him a way out: "Then you can treat me."

Xin Yuan paused for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, what would you like to eat?"

"I haven't decided yet. I'll tell you when I do," Wen Li said.

When I came out of the art building, the rain was pouring down.

Xin Yuan gazed at the distant rain curtain and asked Wen Li, "Where else do you want to go?"

"It's raining," Wen Li said.

Xin Yuan said, "It's alright, it'll stop in a bit. I can take you there once the rain stops."

Wen Li glanced at the time: "I plan to go back in a bit."

"So fast?"

"It's almost time, and I don't want to bother you any longer," Wen Li said with a smile. "So let's go back first."

On a whim, Xin Yuan blurted out, "You didn't bother me."
