Chapter 506: 506: At Worst, I Can Offer Myself in Thanks

“You three, why are you discussing such pointless stuff?”

Ziling quickly caught on and said irritably, “If they come to watch the excitement, that’s their choice, why do you care so much? They aren’t anything to you guys, so why bother with the reception details?”

Fuming earnestly replied, “Boss, we’re in charge of the cheerleading matters and we share a dorm with you. How we receive those two great beauties is an important matter. We’re practically your family here, so of course we can’t treat your girlfriend the same as just any friend.”

“Stop talking about this nonsense,” Ziling, unable to decide whether to laugh or cry, said, “Who knows if they will come to watch my match? If they do come, then so be it. My event will be over quickly anyway, and they’ll leave after watching. Why worry so much?”

“Boss, you don’t know the status Goddess Yang holds in our hearts,” Longjiang argued for a bit, “And if she comes to cheer for you, it would be her first appearance as someone related to you, it’s her public debut. As your ‘family,’ we can’t be impolite. Heh, I also want to take a photo with Goddess Yang. You have to let me fulfill this wish.”

“Boss, why don’t you invite Qingyin to come and cheer for you,” Jianhui finally couldn’t hold back, revealing his real intent, “We hope she could be seen as someone to you, openly supporting you at the event. Then we help you stir up some hype, and like that, we’ll become the most notable class in this sports meeting, making our class famous along with you guys.”

It was then that Ziling had an epiphany, realizing that these three guys had such an ulterior motive. It must be Jianhui’s instigation that made the other two blabber on for so long, aiming to lure him into inviting Qingyin over to watch the game.

In the school’s sports meeting, if a class ranks high in results, it would be hailed as a star class; and if it garners the most attention during the event, it would also become a star class because there would be voting on the campus forum. Ziling remembered clearly how the instructor, Yongping, demanded in front of all the classmates that everyone should perform well, aiming to grab the award certificate for the star class.

If they won that honor, he would organize a class trip in autumn; if not, there wouldn’t be a trip.

Ziling believed that Yongping had entrusted the task to the class monitor, Jianhui, and Jianhui was banking on him.

If Yang Qingyin was invited to watch the game, as soon as the post went up on the forum, it would immediately explode the place, securing Clinical Medicine Class One as the center of attention throughout the school. When voting for the star class of the sports meeting, the number of votes was bound to be substantial.

“You crafty kid, to serve your honor, you’ve really put me in the spotlight,” Ziling said, before giving Jianhui a kick.

Jianhui didn’t deny it and answered with a giggle, “It’s not just for my own honor, but for ours as a class, and for the well-being of all classmates. A class trip, such an enticing thought. I’ve never had the experience during my three years in high school; I want to spark the hottest flame with Lin Lin during the trip!”

When Jianhui spoke these words, he dramatically looked up to the ceiling and wailed, causing Ziling to burst into laughter.

However, he didn’t blame Jianhui, instead finding the situation rather amusing.

These three roommates of his could be quite adorable at times; their long-winded talks just before were all for the sake of securing honors for their class and benefits for everyone. Of course, Ziling also knew that the three guys wanted to verify his current relationship status with Yang Qingyin.

After their last encounter, he had kept quiet about any further developments with Qingyin, and instead, it was Ouyang Huihui who had come looking for him several times.

The three roommates must have been quite puzzled, so after several unsuccessful inquiries, they started patiently fishing for information.

“You three clowns,” upon grasping the situation, Ziling ribbed them with a laugh, adding with a mock, “No wonder people call you three treasures.”

The three immediately became disgruntled, standing up, rolling up their bedding in preparation for a duel with Ziling.

Eventually, each of them received a knock on the head from Ziling and obediently returned to their beds to continue drinking.

“Alright, I’ll send her an invite and see if she’ll come to cheer,” Ziling, finally persuaded by the relentless badgering of the three, sent a message to Qingyin under the influence of alcohol, inviting her to come and watch the event to cheer for him.

“Junior, you still haven’t told me – what sporting event did you sign up for!” Qingyin’s message quickly responded.

She knew that Luo Ziling was going to treat Li Haiyang today, so she didn’t disturb him all evening.

Luo Ziling replied to the message with pride, “I signed up for the 100 meters, 200 meters, 400 meters, 800 meters, 1500 meters, and 5000 meters, six events in total. Do you think I’m awesome or what?”

“Why are all your events running ones?”

“Haven’t you noticed how fast I run?”

“But you have other strengths too, right? Why not sign up for other events?” Yang Qingyin expressed her confusion in the message.

“The rule is that one person can’t exceed six events! If there wasn’t this rule, I’d be willing to sign up for all the events and maybe win dozens of gold medals.”

“Yeah, right, you’re just bragging,” Yang Qingyin, of course, took Luo Ziling’s words as boasting and replied with a message followed by several eye-rolling emojis.

“You’ll see my performance on the field,” Luo Ziling didn’t explain too much.

“Okay, then I wish you lots of gold medals and record-breaking performances, and that you get selected for the university track and field team.” To show she meant her congratulations, Yang Qingyin even added two strong-arm emojis after the message.

“You still haven’t told me if you’ll come and cheer for me!”

“That depends on this senior’s mood at the time. If I’m in a good mood, I might come to take a few glances; if I’m not, at most I’ll take a glance.”

Reading the message, Luo Ziling was instantly overjoyed.

He immediately told the other three guys who were eagerly watching him text, “She should come, though she didn’t explicitly promise.”

“Yay,” the other three guys celebrated with high-fives.

After thinking for a moment, Luo Ziling sent another message to Yang Qingyin, “Today, Chen Xiaoyi and Fang Qianqian came to me, hoping I could treat Fang Dongxun. What do you think, should I agree?”

Yang Qingyin sent back several surprised emojis right away.

Shortly after, her message came back, “Really, I shouldn’t suggest anything to you because I know you already have an answer in your heart. But I’ll still give my opinion, if you hope for the good relationship between the Fang Family and your Luo Family to continue, then you should help out in any case. Even though the Fang Family doesn’t know you’re Luo Liansheng’s grandson now, once they find out, they will surely show their gratitude for your help. Of course, make your own decision, you can completely ignore my view.”

Luo Ziling read her message and was instantly happy, quickly replying, “Thank you, senior!”

“How will you thank me?” Yang Qingyin added a few mischievous emojis after her message.

“Worst comes to worst, I’ll repay you with my body.”

What he got in return for that teasing comment was a string of Yang Qingyin’s emojis punching her own head.
