Hogwarts Summoning Guide

That very night, Bai Lin became a sensation on the school's online forum. He was already handsome and tall, but the death of his close friend Xue Lin had made him appear rather quiet and repressed. In contrast, Bai Lin was much more flamboyant in the magical world. Perhaps being in a foreign land allowed him to release his pent-up emotions, and his thoughts were liberated and elevated.

This time, Bai Lin didn't intend to keep a low profile like before. But being high-profile was one thing, becoming a celebrity on the campus forum was another. The key issue was that he had exposed himself in advance, and he still didn't know where Grakua was.

Campus police quickly arrived at the scene and dealt with the incident, detaining five thugs. Because there were quite a few eyewitnesses, and the five thugs only suffered minor injuries—painful but not constituting serious bodily harm—the campus police did not make things difficult for Bai Lin and quickly released him back to his dormitory.

He carefully examined everyone he met as he came out of the alley, including his roommates who had come to join the fun, the campus police officers handling the case, and the counselor who came to mediate. However, they all seemed normal and showed no signs of being mind-controlled or possessed.

However, downstairs in the dormitory, he saw Zhao Xixi's alluring figure, and it was clear that the girl was waiting for him there.

"Whoa..." Song Wenyu let out a strange cry, slapped Bai Lin's shoulder hard, raised his eyebrows, and very "sensibly" pulled the other roommates away. Before leaving, he reminded them that it was already 10:30 and the dormitory would be locked in half an hour.

"Um, is there something you need?" Bai Lin asked, forcing himself to speak. He was quite the seasoned player in the magic world, but returning to his university life in the original world had left him somewhat dazed, and even his expression was a little immature.

"Senior Bai... um, I haven't properly thanked you yet... I'm so grateful to have you here today..." Zhao Xixi said, clutching the hem of her clothes, her face slightly flushed.

She stood very close to Bai Lin, her frail appearance was so pitiful, she looked like she was about to throw herself into his arms.

"Um... it's nothing, I was just passing by... it was nothing, I believe every senior student at Jian University would have stepped forward if they saw it..." Bai Lin said somewhat awkwardly.

Not seeing Wu Xuan, he couldn't help but remind him, "Don't blame me for being nosy... it's best to stay away from scumbags as soon as possible..."

A hint of hatred flashed in Zhao Xixi's eyes, but her gaze towards Bai Lin also gleamed. She said calmly, "Senior is right. I've cut ties with Wu Xuan completely. He'll probably have to stay in the hospital for a few more days. I think we've really broken up. I even want to break his legs! ...Um, senior, you don't think I'm that vicious, do you?"

Bai Lin imagined the scene of breaking Wu Xuan's "legs," which was quite exciting and hilarious...

Looking at Zhao Xixi again, she had unknowingly moved a few centimeters closer. Even a blind person could see that this girl had a strong liking for Bai Lin. No wonder she was deceived by Wu Xuan with such a love-struck mind.

Seeing that Bai Lin didn't speak, Zhao Xixi continued, "Actually, I knew Senior Bai before... In the anime club, you even taught us new members a basic manga lesson, which helped me a lot!"

Bai Lin had some recollection of giving a lecture to freshmen in his sophomore year, which was considered a hobby. However, he never picked it up again after going to the magical world. At that time, there were quite a few girls in the anime club, so he didn't pay much attention to Zhao Xixi.

Zhao Xixi took out her phone and said shyly, "Senior Bai, can we add each other as friends?"

Bai Lin then remembered that he had left his phone charging in the dorm room, and felt a little embarrassed. However, Zhao Xixi was not embarrassed at all. She took out an exquisite Swarovski pen from her small bag, grabbed Bai Lin's hand, wrote her number on his palm, and then ran away without looking back.

The Hogwarts Summoning Guide is full of classic quotes; come find something to resonate with.

Bai Lin looked at the number on his palm and savored the feeling of his fingers just now.

"This Zhao Xixi is quite suspicious!" Bai Lin frowned and thought.

He did want to search for clues about Grakua overnight, but this body was just an ordinary person. He had been busy all day and hadn't eaten dinner. He was so tired that he went back to his dormitory and fell asleep as soon as he got home.

He was woken up early the next morning by Song Wenyu. It turned out that Zhao Xixi had bought breakfast for Bai Lin and brought it over, causing quite a stir in the men's dormitory.

"Senior Bai," Zhao Xixi, wore a light yet sophisticated makeup look and a light red dress, exuding a pure and alluring charm. "I brought you breakfast!"

"You're too kind." Bai Lin had some doubts about Zhao Xixi, so he naturally didn't avoid contact with her. He took the lunchbox from her, which contained freshly baked small cakes.

Zhao Xixi eagerly urged Bai Lin to eat it, but Bai Lin thought to himself, "Wouldn't she just poison me?" Hesitantly, he didn't dare to put it in his mouth. He could only chat with Zhao Xixi as they walked towards the teaching building.

Bai Lin didn't want to talk about his own topic, so he steered the conversation toward Zhao Xixi.

"So you're live-streaming yourself making a cake? Do you girls' dorms have ovens?" Bai Lin said casually, his attention constantly observing Zhao Xixi's expression. If she showed any signs of being controlled by Grakua, he would strike her down with lightning speed.

Zhao Xixi clearly misunderstood Bai Lin's meaning, believing that he had been scrutinizing her with "flames" in his eyes, which made her extremely happy.

"Yes, I am making cakes, but I usually make the cake base myself and then borrow the oven from the dessert shop next to the supermarket. I livestream making fondant, have you heard of that, senior?" Zhao Xixi explained while showing Bai Lin the video she had taken on her phone.

Bai Lin glanced at her sideways and was immediately amazed. Zhao Xixi's skills were nothing short of divine. The fondant she made was almost comparable to a master-level figurine. Her aesthetic sense was definitely high and her professionalism was strong.

I thought that a female college student like Zhao Xixi would just dance and sing on live stream to get donations from wealthy patrons. But I was surprised to find that Zhao Xixi wore a mask and a chef's uniform during her live streams and earned money entirely through her culinary skills. I couldn't help but look at her with new respect.

After observing Zhao Xixi's every hair along the way, Bai Lin couldn't find any flaws, which was quite "disappointing".

"Hey Zhao Xixi," Bai Lin decided not to waste any more time with her; expanding the search area or taking some measures to lure the enemy out was the real priority. "I'm skipping class today. See you later!"

Zhao Xixi was stunned. She didn't expect that she and Bai Lin were almost at the bottom of the teaching building when he was planning to skip class again. She thought to herself: Senior Bai must have accompanied her to walk here so that he could spend more time with her!

Bai Lin ignored Zhao Xixi's little scheme and ran off, leaving Zhao Xixi and her classmates who were watching from afar bewildered.

Bai Lin had just run out of the school gate when he suddenly felt a blur before his eyes. A figure came up in front of him, bumped his shoulder, and he fell to the ground.

"Uh, I'm sorry, are you alright?" Bai Lin quickly stopped and stepped forward to help her up. Upon closer inspection, he saw that she was a long-legged young lady in a short skirt, with a beautiful face.

"It hurts!" The young woman almost cried as she pointed to her knee. Her knee had hit the step when she fell, leaving a deep mark, indicating that the injury was quite serious.

Bai Lin was in a panic. He recognized the young lady as Yan Xiaoyun, the campus belle of Jian Da University who was as famous as Zhao Xixi. What was wrong with him? Had he been cursed with a love triangle after traveling through time?
