Chapter 109: Chapter 109: Just Graduated from High School
"I'm not a student at Shen University, in fact, I'm not a student at all," Lin Yun shook his head and said.
"Not a student at Shen University or anywhere else?" Shu Lee was taken aback.
Seeing Shu Lee ask Lin Yun this question, many people around them became curious. They also wanted to know where Xia Qingqing's boyfriend came from, especially since he seemed to have won her over in no time.
Lin Yun's answer took them by surprise.
"Turns out, bro is already working. I wonder which prestigious school you graduated from," Shu Lee recovered and asked with a smile.
"Immortal Origin First High School," Lin Yun gave a half-smile while looking at him, he answered.
"Immortal Origin First High School?" Shu Lee was taken aback again.
What university was that?
"Immortal Origin First High School? I've never heard of it…"
"Which university has this name... "
"Sounds quite unusual..."
Some students around them discussed under their breaths.
Xia Qingqing frowned slightly.
She obviously knew what the Immortal Origin First High School was, as it was Lin Yun's high school. It wasn't that she was embarrassed by Lin Yun publicly revealing this, she was just afraid that others would look down on Lin Yun, causing him to lose face. She knew Lin Yun was a bit sensitive about this.
However, when she was about to step in and stop Shu Lee from questioning Lin Yun further, Lin Yun gently squeezed her hand behind their backs, signaling her not to. She was unsure of what to do at the moment.
"It's normal you haven't heard of it, it's just an ordinary high school in a small area. I never went to university, Immortal Origin First High School is my alma mater in high school," Lin Yun said with a nonchalant smile.
"Uh... "
"What? This Lin Yun, he never went to university, he only graduated from high school?"
Many people around were stunned.
Birds of a feather flock together, most of them were students at Shen University. Even the minority who weren't, were students at prestigious universities in the vicinity. This was a gathering of Shen University students, ordinary university students wouldn't really fit in. They were surprised to discover that Lin Yun was just a high school graduate who had never attended university.
Lin Mengmeng watched this scene with a smile.
Most people don't understand, when a person hasn't achieved much, they'll be concerned about proving themselves, trying to add value to their image. But when a person achieves a lot, they won't care about these trifles. Even their background might become the highlight of their achievement.
So you're from a prestigious university, so what?
You have a master's or a doctorate, so what?
I dropped out of primary school and still created my own world, which is far beyond your reach!
I'm not dumber than you, I'm not worse than you, my advantages just lie elsewhere!
"What a waste, a flower is stuck on a pile of cow dung..."
"This guy didn't even go to university, I guess his family conditions are also average. Otherwise, even if he was to fool around, he would have done it at a university for at least some time. There's a difference between people who have attended university and those who haven't, not in knowledge, but in experience... "
Some people shook their heads and whispered. They looked at Xia Qingqing with pity in their eyes.
"Oh well, sorry bro, I didn't know you didn't go to university, I didn't ask on purpose," Shu Lee said awkwardly, clearing his throat with an apologetic tone.
The whispers of the others indicated to him that this man was Xia Qingqing's boyfriend.
He noticed Xia Qingqing's slight frown at the moment. While he was shocked, he also secretly rejoiced.
Did Xia Qingqing feel embarrassed?
That's good news.
Why do many girls break up with their boyfriends? Isn't it because they feel their boyfriends are embarrassing them?
He didn't expect that his casual question would cause such an effect. Even if Lin Yun was a high school graduate who never went to university, he could have brushed off the question. However, he went on to publicly announce it. Was this guy a fool?
No wonder this guy was always smiling, no wonder he didn't get into university, he turned out to be a fool!
A sense of intellectual superiority rose in his heart.
Shu Lee spoke now with malicious intent.
Originally, if he had just casually dismissed Lin Yun's answer, it would have passed, and Lin Yun's embarrassment would've been momentary.
Now, his formal apology not only made him seem considerate but also subtly suggested that Lin Yun's situation was a bit disgraceful.
Perhaps, at this moment, Xia Qingqing felt even more embarrassed?
As he spoke, Shu Lee looked at Xia Qingqing deliberately.
A perfectly fine, innocent girl was reflected in Shu Lee's eyes, causing him to feel a sense of regret.
He didn't expect that such a beautiful girl already had a boyfriend, and not even a remarkable one at that.
He had long suspected that Xia Qingqing's family conditions were ordinary, so she should have been easier to pursue. But in front of those boys from wealthier families, he had been somewhat hesitant. He had just shown some affection to Xia Qingqing indirectly and had not pursued her actively. After all, it wasn't worth offending those boys from wealthier families just for a girl who wasn't even his.
For instance, Zhang Tianyu.
He was a local in Shen City and his family's conditions were just slightly better than average. If he got on the wrong side of someone like Zhang Tianyu, he was sure to have trouble on his hands.
Now, he felt some regret. If he had known earlier that Xia Qingqing had been won over by such a guy, he would have pursued her more actively.
As for upsetting Zhang Tianyu, compared to winning over such a top-quality girl, what was there to weigh?
Moreover, it seems like Zhang Tianyu is incapable of protecting himself these days.
That being said, wasn't it because of this that he dared to be so bold today?
Among Xia Qingqing's pursuers, Zhang Tianyu and Qi Nan were the most aggressive. He didn't dare to offend Zhang Tianyu, and Qi Nan was just a talented writer who earned a bit more money. His family background was just slightly better than average, so he didn't fear him.
Unfortunately, he didn't know whether Xia Qingqing had slept with this boy or not. When he thought that Xia Qingqing might have slept with this guy, he regretted it even more.
If only he had known...
Between Xia Qingqing and Lin Mengmeng, he actually preferred Xia Qingqing.
Because, Lin Mengmeng's family status was reportedly not simple. That kind of girl was harder to pursue. Also, Lin Mengmeng's two main pursuers were very difficult to mess with, which he didn't dare to do.
Xia Qingqing, a commoner goddess, was a perfect target.
If Xia Qingqing had slept with this boy, should he still pursue her?
For a moment, Shu Lee was torn over this question.
After just an instant, he came up with an answer: yes.
Even if he could only play around with such an outstanding girl without marrying her, it would still be great. There were a couple of years left in university... If such a lady could be his playmate for a year or two, it would be worth it even if he had to shorten his life by a few years...
Lin Mengmeng...
Shu Lee took a glance.
She was still smiling, still as stunningly beautiful.
He wondered if he could win her over if he pursued her aggressively. Rumor had it that her family's condition was not simple. If he succeeded, it would be a huge win. He would have scored both a girl and a future. Even if they broke up in the end... But to play with a girl of this level, it would still be a huge win!
By the way, Lin Mengmeng should not have a boyfriend yet, right?
She should still be a virgin, right?
