I suggest you investigate; this person doesn't seem to be a first-time reborn individual.

"We're downstairs, when will you arrive?"

"I just entered your campus, I'll be there soon."

Lin Ran hung up the phone with Huang Lingyue and stood silently at the corner, not immediately going forward.

He had actually arrived at the dormitory building a while ago, but there were a few points he wanted to double-check.

He looked at the four girls standing downstairs, and Huang Lingyue was undoubtedly still the focus.

He wanted to see which of Huang Lingyue's roommates she didn't get along with, but after observing for a long time, he couldn't see any problems since the four of them seemed to be getting along very well.

The girls' dormitory in the art college is a six-person room, but there are only three people with Huang Lingyue. Could it be that the other two roommates didn't come?

Another point is that Huang Lingyue's recent behavior has been somewhat abnormal, which is quite different from his memory. He even began to wonder if she had been reborn like him.

Lin Ran stared for a long time, and sure enough, Huang Lingyue was still the same Huang Lingyue.

She still maintains a cold and aloof demeanor in front of others, as if someone owes her two hundred yuan.

He wanted to observe a little longer, but Huang Lingyue looked up and scanned the crowd, spotting him immediately.

The ice queen melted instantly, her eyes crinkling into crescents, her gaze radiant.

Seeing that he could no longer hide, Lin Ran had no choice but to step forward.

Huang Lingyue quickly took two steps forward to greet Lin Ran, her voice clear and crisp.

"You've arrived."

Lin Ran hummed in agreement and looked at her three roommates behind her.

Feng Xiaowen, who speaks with a northern accent, Wu Ying, who has a slightly chubby face, and Zhou Jiayi, who is petite.

"You must be Lin Ran? Yueyue talks about you all the time in our dorm!"

"Yes, yes, I even dream about your name."

"Huh? Our ice queen can smile too?"

……

Feng Xiaowen and Wu Ying were more outgoing, while Zhou Jiayi seemed a bit introverted, only looking at him curiously with her eyes.

Lin Ran watched them chatting and laughing, then cast a questioning look at Huang Lingyue, wondering if the roommate she mentioned who disliked her was among them.

Facing Lin Ran's gaze, Huang Lingyue's eyes darted away, but she understood what Lin Ran meant.

She quickly stepped forward and took Zhou Jiayi's hand: "It's Jiayi's birthday today."

Lin Ran felt he understood. None of the three roommates had a bad relationship with Huang Lingyue, so it seemed they probably didn't come.

He smiled and said, "Happy birthday."

"Thank you," Zhou Jiayi replied, bowing her head.

"Lin Ran, we're planning to really rip you off today, so don't be stingy later!" Feng Xiaowen said, hooking her arm around Huang Lingyue's, only to be met with a glare from Huang Lingyue.

"Oh my, you're already protecting her even before you've officially confirmed your relationship," Wu Ying teased, noticing Huang Lingyue's expression.

"Alright, it's getting late, let's get going."

Restaurants near the school aren't too high-end, after all, the spending power of college students needs to be taken into account. The group of five chose Ruyi Restaurant, which was doing fairly well.

Lin Ran led the four people into a private room and let them order whatever they wanted. He then went to the front desk to get the prepared birthday cake and ordered a bowl of longevity noodles separately.

When he carried the cake into the private room, he found that Zhou Jiayi was not there.

"Where is the birthday person?"

"I went to the restroom," Feng Xiaowen and Wu Ying replied while looking at the menu.

Lin Ran sat down next to Huang Lingyue, and Huang Lingyue naturally put her legs on Lin Ran's lap.

It's still summer, and Huang Lingyue is wearing a knee-length skirt today. It looks fine when she's standing, but when she puts her legs on Lin Ran's legs, the skirt naturally slips down, revealing a pair of smooth and slender legs.

Lin Ran was only wearing shorts today, and the two were now practically in physical contact.

Feeling the amazing elasticity from his leg, Lin Ran was stunned for a moment, then looked down.

Well, how should I put it?

Straight inside and out, without tendrils or branches, its fragrance spreads far and wide, standing tall and clean.

Looking up at Huang Lingyue's face again, it was calm and still, but you could clearly see a blush on her cheeks, and her eyes seemed to be shimmering with tears.

Lin Ran calmly withdrew his gaze, as if nothing had happened.

Seeing that Lin Ran didn't react in any other way, Huang Lingyue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Even she herself didn't know why she made that move; she felt her legs being tickled by the hair on Lin Ran's legs, which was very stimulating.

How strange! Do my legs have a mind of their own?

Just then, the door opened.

Zhou Jiayi came in, looking rather unwell, followed by a green-haired boy.

This person was less than 1.7 meters tall, with an average appearance, and wore a gold chain around his neck that had some paint chipping.

As soon as he entered, he glanced around, his gaze lingering on Huang Lingyue's face for a moment, his eyes filled with undisguised amazement.

"Jiayi, is this your friend?" Feng Xiaowen asked.

The green-haired boy swaggered in: "Let me introduce myself. I'm Jiayi's junior high school classmate. You can just call me Brother Fa."

After speaking, he started shaking hands with everyone, beginning with Feng Xiaowen. Seeing that Zhou Jiayi did not respond, the others assumed that she had invited them and, not wanting to offend the birthday girl, reluctantly shook hands with the green-haired boy.

When it was Huang Lingyue's turn, she gave him a cold glance, and the green-haired boy could only walk away awkwardly.

He's not stupid. He dropped out of junior high and went into the underworld. Huang Lingyue's bag looks real, worth tens of thousands of yuan, much more valuable than his old Santana.

She may be beautiful, but she's someone you can't afford to mess with.

Looking at Lin Ran's unfriendly expression, he felt that this tall guy didn't look like someone to mess with, so he wasn't interested in shaking hands with the man.

He randomly found a seat, sat down, and tossed his badly worn Volkswagen key onto the table.

"You're all Jia Yi's college classmates, right?"

"If you ask me, what's the point of going to university? I'd say you still have to be like us, dropping out of junior high and entering the workforce..."

Nobody paid him any attention; he just kept bragging about his experiences in the real world.

Lin Ran frowned, his expression strange.

Where the hell did this stupid bird come from?

Well, considering it's Zhou Jiayi's birthday today, he didn't want to make a fuss.

Lin Ran received a message on his phone and saw that it was from Huang Lingyue.

"This man isn't Zhou Jiayi's friend. She just said in the group chat that this guy has been harassing her."

Lin Ran raised an eyebrow.

Two dishes had just been served, and before anyone else had even touched their chopsticks, this person had already taken apart the tableware and started eating.

"Dude."

Lin Ran spoke.

The green-haired boy looked up at him.

Do you know what foods can cause poisoning when eaten with cucumbers?

Upon hearing this, the green-haired boy was taken aback. His hand trembled, and the piece of rib he was holding with his chopsticks fell onto the table. He had just swallowed a piece of cucumber, and his lips turned white when he heard Lin Ran's words.

The others looked at Lin Ran with some confusion. Are there things that cucumbers cannot be eaten with?

"With...with what?"

Lin Ran said in a serious tone: "Eating cucumbers and rat poison together will cause poisoning."

"What the hell do you mean?"
