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

"Hahaha, it really does look like it..."

A toad wearing a little flower? Could it be such a coincidence?

Lin Ran's eyes flashed, and he took out his phone to send a message to Tang Chen: Check what the name of the match for economics expert Zhao Feiyu is.

Just as Lin Ran was about to put his phone back in his pocket, Huang Lingyue's long, straight legs were draped over him again, so Lin Ran had no choice but to put his phone on the table.

At the dinner table, the topic naturally returned to the earlier incident.

"Jiayi, what's your relationship with that guy?" Feng Xiaowen asked curiously.

Zhou Jiayi sighed: "He and I are neighbors from the same village..."

According to Zhou Jiayi, the green-haired boy's name is Dong Yufa.

Ever since Zhou Jiayi started high school, Dong Yufa had been harassing her frequently. Although she didn't like his sleazy manner, she was still polite to him since they were neighbors.

But Dong Yufa, seeing her behavior, became even more brazen, frequently engaging in intentional or unintentional physical contact.

When she was helping out at the family shop, Dong Yufa would often bring some gangsters to "patronize the business." But each time they bought a bottle of mineral water, they would sit there all day, loudly recounting their shameful and disgraceful deeds, scaring away other customers who dared not enter the shop.

She also tried to ask her parents for help, but they advised her that although Dong Yufa was a bit of a scoundrel, he wasn't a bad person, and they were from the same place, so she shouldn't make things too awkward.

She finally got to university and thought she could finally get rid of him, but he ended up chasing after her again in Jiangning. He even got her new phone number from somewhere and continued to harass her.

Even if you block his contact information, he will find another way to reach you.

Zhou Jiayi's voice was soft, without any intense accusations, but the grievances she had suppressed for so long seemed impossible to hide.

Feng Xiaowen's fists clenched, her face flushed with anger: "This is too much! It's like a piece of dog shit plaster!" Wu Ying also looked indignant.

Huang Lingyue didn't say much, but gently pushed the bowl of sweet white fungus soup in front of her to Zhou Jiayi.

Just then, Lin Ran's phone rang. It was Tang Chen calling. He stood up apologetically and said, "I'll take this call. You guys eat first."

Finding a relatively quiet corner in the corridor, Lin Ran answered the phone.

"Boss, we found it. The girl's name is Zhou Jiayi, a freshman in the law school..."

Lin Ran stared blankly at his phone for a moment; what a coincidence.

Zhao Feiyu, who was really looking forward to Sun Xiaoyu, didn't sign up, but by some twist of fate, he was matched with Huang Lingyue's roommate.

As I passed by the front desk, I noticed that Dong Yufa hadn't left yet and was being politely "invited" to the rest area by the restaurant manager and two security guards.

"I have money! Once I get my older brother to help me out, I can pay you right away!"

"Hey, Fifth Brother, it's Ah Fa! I'm in a bit of trouble, need to borrow some money from you, I'll pay you back tomorrow..."

"Hey, Fifth Brother? Feed him..."

"What are you doing! Don't touch me! Do you think I only have Fifth Brother as a connection? Let me make another call!"

"Hey, sister-in-law, why can't I get through to Fifth Brother on the phone? Oh...oh...is he taking a shower? Okay..."

"Boss, how about I leave the car here as collateral? I'll come back tomorrow to pay..."

Lin Ran shook his head, thinking it would be beneath him to deal with someone like that. He'd wait and see if Zhao Feiyu and Zhou Jiayi could get together. If they did, he'd give Zhao Feiyu a chance to be a hero and save the damsel in distress.

Back in the private room, the atmosphere improved considerably thanks to everyone's efforts to lighten the mood, and the dinner ended with everyone singing a birthday song for Zhou Jiayi.

The group of five walked back to school.

On the way, Lin Ran deliberately slowed down and gave Huang Lingyue a wink, and the two of them gradually fell behind.

"You mentioned before that your roommate didn't like you much. Which of these three people were you referring to?"

Huang Lingyue's eyes flickered slightly, seemingly surprised that Lin Ran would ask such a question, but she finally confessed, "Everything's fine, didn't you see that today?"

"So those are the other two roommates who didn't come?" Lin Ran asked.

"What do you mean two other people? I only have these three roommates."

Lin Ran was taken aback: "Don't you girls usually live in six-person dorm rooms?"

Huang Lingyue narrowed her eyes, her gaze instantly sharpening as she looked at him with scrutiny: "Who told you the girls' dormitory is a six-person room? Or... did you escort any girl back to her dorm before, which is why you know so much?"

Lin Ran's heart skipped a beat, realizing something was wrong. He had assumed all girls' dormitories were like Li Futing's, with six people per dormitory.

Huang Lingyue is unaware that Li Futing is also at Jiangda University, so now is definitely not the time for the two of them to meet.

However, he remained outwardly calm, even showing a hint of surprise: "The girls' dormitory in the School of Economics only has six people. I'm the class monitor now, so I naturally know a little more about it."

Huang Lingyue's eyes still held suspicion as she parted her red lips slightly: "Are there six people in the girls' dormitory of the School of Economics?"

Lin Ran didn't give her a chance to delve deeper, decisively steer the question back to the original point, asking in return, "Didn't you say you didn't get along with your roommate? Then what happened today?"

Huang Lingyue thinks that Lin Ran can be quite an idiot at times.

She went to great lengths to bring Lin Ran into her social circle, and of course, she also added another item to her conquest plan. Her intentions were so obvious, yet he remained oblivious, like a fool.

"This week," she turned her face away, her voice tinged with a hint of defiance, "I managed to rebuild my relationship with them, is that not allowed?"

"Oh." Lin Ran nodded, accepting the explanation without any doubt about Huang Lingyue's social skills.

Huang Lingyue was speechless. She rolled her eyes at him, quickened her pace, and caught up with the girls in front of her.

After escorting the four girls to their dormitory building, Lin Ran planned to turn around and leave.

"Lin Ran!" Huang Lingyue suddenly called out to him, speaking to his back.

Lin Ran paused, turned around, and felt that this scene seemed familiar.

"Is there anything else you want to say to me?" Huang Lingyue asked softly, her gaze fixed on Lin Ran's face, her eyes filled with tension and anticipation.

Lin Ran took a few steps toward Huang Lingyue.

As he drew closer, Huang Lingyue's heart involuntarily quickened, her eyelashes trembled, and she waited for Lin Ran to speak.

Lin Ran scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "Ling Yue, could you lend me some money for a taxi? I ​​don't think I have any change on me."

Huang Lingyue: "..."

Huang Lingyue stared at him for two seconds, a clear look of surprise and annoyance flashing in her beautiful eyes. She rolled her eyes, took out two hundred-yuan bills, handed them to him, and turned to leave.

……

Once inside the taxi, Lin Ran breathed a sigh of relief and placed the two banknotes Huang Lingyue had given him together with his own stack of cash.

Fortunately, there is no QR code payment yet, otherwise he wouldn't even have been able to use this temporary excuse.

There's a considerable distance between the north and south campuses. As the car passed a dessert shop, Lin Ran's heart skipped a beat.

"Master, stop for a moment."

He opened the car door and said to the taxi driver, "Sir, please wait here for me for a moment, I'll be right back."

"Young man, parking and waiting time are also charged!" the driver reminded him.

Lin Ran waved his hand dismissively.

When Lin Ran came out of the dessert shop, he had several exquisitely packaged paper bags in his hand, which were full of the desserts that he remembered Li Futing loved to eat.
