Chapter 487: I Just Picked Up the Car Yesterday
The boys in the cafeteria who were just looking down on Ge Dongxu and even privately discussing him suddenly felt like fools.
No way, both a campus beauty and a faculty beauty approached this poor kid?
Ren Dandan's almond-shaped eyes immediately widened, "No way, don't tell me you guys insisted on coming to the first cafeteria for breakfast just for…"
"Ah, ah, let's go get our food! Dongxu, you eat first!" Lin Xiaojie and Xu Yanran, seeing that Ren Dandan was speaking without a filter, felt their faces getting as hot as fire and quickly pulled Ren Dandan away.
Ge Dongxu watched as Lin Xiaojie and Xu Yanran, with flushed faces, dragged Ren Dandan away, and then he belatedly realized their appearance here was no coincidence. He couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself, thinking, Liu Jiayao was right after all: with his situation, it would be hard to not attract girls once he got to university!
No way, am I being too vain? Suddenly, Ge Dongxu felt he might be a bit too conceited for having such a thought.
While he was lost in thought, Lin Xiaojie and the others had already gotten their food and came over.
The tables were rectangular and could seat six people, three on each side.
Lin Xiaojie sat next to Ge Dongxu, while Xu Yanran sat across from him, her gaze somewhat evasive, and Ren Dandan was sizing Ge Dongxu up and down as if he were an alien.
"There's nothing special about him." After looking for a while, Ren Dandan said, puzzlingly.
"What are you talking about, Ren Dandan? Eat your food." Lin Xiaojie and Xu Yanran, seeing Ren Dandan speaking without any restraint again, felt worried and embarrassed.
They were worried that a big-shot like Ge Dongxu might dislike what they were doing, and embarrassed because, after all, they were girls, and Ren Dandan's words made it sound like they were scheming to chase after Ge Dongxu.
"Hey, fellow student, which faculty are you from, which grade, and what do your parents do? You've got some nerve, hitting on our two faculty beauties?" Curiosity piqued, Ren Dandan asked Ge Dongxu, looking at him while Lin Xiaojie and Xu Yanran were feeling both anxious and embarrassed.
"Ren Dandan, if you keep this up, we really won't talk to you anymore!" Lin Xiaojie and Xu Yanran, seeing Ren Dandan interrogating Ge Dongxu, were so scared that their beauty was almost compromised, and they sent her a fierce glare before hurriedly saying to Ge Dongxu, "Dongxu… Dongxu, don't mind her, she always talks like this."
It was then that Ren Dandan finally realized something was amiss, and her gaze towards Ge Dongxu became even more questioning.
She considered herself close friends with Lin Xiaojie and Xu Yanran and understood their characters well. While they might not be considered aloof, they usually gave the cold shoulder to male students who harbored inappropriate thoughts about them.
Yet today, they obviously went out of their way to the first cafeteria for the sake of the guy in front of them, and they even seemed somewhat afraid of upsetting him. For Ren Dandan, who has known them for two years, this was an unprecedented event.
"Haha, it's no big deal, we're all classmates, and it's normal to ask." Ge Dongxu smiled indifferently, then looked at Ren Dandan and said, "Ge Dongxu, from Faculty of Environmental and Resource Sciences, majoring in Environmental Chemistry, a first-year student, and I'm from the same hometown as Xu Yanran."
"No way, a first-year student? And a science and engineering guy?" On hearing this, surprise and disbelief crossed Ren Dandan's face.

"What, a freshman can't cut it? Do I look that old?" Ge Dongxu laughed.
"It's not about being old, you're just impressive, hooking up with the two top beauties of our Economics department as a freshman. You'd better watch out for their admirers who might come after you to settle the score, freshman!" Ren Dandan replied.
"That's an exaggeration. We're just sitting together for breakfast," Ge Dongxu shrugged.
"Who's he? Is he also from our Economics department? I don't think I've ever seen him." No sooner had Ge Dongxu finished speaking than two fairly good-looking guys walked over with stainless steel trays and sat down next to Ge Dongxu and Xu Yanran.
The speaker was a guy wearing a Rado watch, dressed in POLO casual wear, glasses on his nose, looking every bit the successful young dandy.
When Ren Dandan saw this guy, her eyes visibly lit up, showing a look of admiration.
However, this guy clearly didn't have Ren Dandan on his mind, his gaze briefly lingered on Lin Xiaojie before falling on Ge Dongxu, with a hint of arrogance.
"His name is Ge Dongxu, majoring in Environmental Chemistry at the School of Environment and Resources. He's a freshman and hails from the same hometown as Xu Yanran," Ren Dandan rushed to answer.
"Oh, a freshman from the School of Environment and Resources? No wonder I've never seen him." The guy smirked and then turned to Lin Xiaojie who was sitting next to Ge Dongxu, "Xiaojie, the weather's nice today. How about we all go for a walk by Mingyue Lake after breakfast? I just picked up my car yesterday."
"Wow, Lin Jianfeng, you actually got a car! That's so cool!" Ren Dandan immediately exclaimed exaggeratedly, her eyes shining brightly as she looked at Lin Jianfeng.
Although Lin Xiaojie and Xu Yanran did not exclaim as exaggeratedly as Ren Dandan upon hearing Lin Jianfeng had bought a car, they couldn't help but be visibly moved.
These days, cars were a luxury for the average person, let alone for students!
"It's nothing, just bought a Santana 2000 for over a hundred thousand to play with for now," Lin Jianfeng, seeing Ren Dandan's exaggerated and admiring look, along with Lin Xiaojie and Xu Yanran's surprise, was clearly smug inside, but feigned an air of nonchalance on his face.
"Damn, Lin Jianfeng, this is blatant showing off! Just over a hundred thousand—you know how much my monthly allowance is? Just two or three hundred!" Another guy said resentfully.
"Oh, Shi Tianhang, stop your complaining! If you had the skills, you could show off too!" Ren Dandan rolled her eyes and replied.
"What do you think? Shall we go for a drive later, then stroll around Mingyue Lake, and after that, I'll treat you to the buffet at the Mingyue Lake revolving restaurant," Lin Jianfeng said, a smug look of triumph on his face.
"Wow, really? The Mingyue Lake revolving restaurant, that's a legendary buffet spot in Linzhou City. I've heard you can enjoy exquisite meals there while having a 365-degree panoramic view of Mingyue Lake, and it costs several hundred per person! That's almost my entire month's allowance," Ren Dandan immediately said excitedly and wistfully.
"Of course," Lin Jianfeng replied casually, then looked at Ge Dongxu with a smug, show-offy air and said, "Everybody who sees this is invited. Dongxu, you're welcome to join as well, but the car can only fit five people, so you'll have to take the bus or ride a bike there."
Lin Xiaojie and Xu Yanran were just students after all. Hearing that Lin Jianfeng was going to take them for a drive and treat them at the Mingyue Lake revolving restaurant did shake their hearts. However, Lin Jianfeng's sudden include of Ge Dongxu, with an obvious intention of flaunting and condescension, took them both aback and they suddenly found Lin Jianfeng, this prominent figure of the Economics department, to be quite crude and childish.
