Chapter 400: Yang Yang's Invitation

The bell rang, and Lingyun began to pack the books on his desk, preparing to leave the classroom.

"I say, Fourth, why have you been asking for leave so often lately?" Huang Luo said to Lingyun while packing his own books.

"I've had a lot to deal with recently, but I've mostly finished handling them. I reckon I'll be able to attend class properly for a while now," Lingyun said to Huang Luo as he picked up his books.

"Boss, Second, Fourth, I have something to take care of, so I'll be heading off first!" Liu Feng packed his things in a flash and left the classroom.

"Hm? What has Liu Feng been busy with lately? He always seems to be in such a rush," Lingyun asked Huang Luo, who was beside him.

"Heh heh, these days, that kid Liu Feng is quite busy. He found a part-time job, and whenever he isn't in class, he goes to work," Huang Luo said to Lingyun with a grin.

"A part-time job? Why did he suddenly want to do that? Is he trying to experience life in society ahead of time?" Lingyun raised an eyebrow.

"What 'experiencing life'? That guy has an ulterior motive. Do you know where he's working?" Huang Luo said with a wide grin.

"Where? It wouldn't happen to be that barbecue restaurant, would it?" Lingyun recalled Liu Feng's behavior at the barbecue restaurant last time and raised an eyebrow.

"That's right, it's that very restaurant. I think he's counting on the 'proximity gives one the first chance' strategy," Han Yu said, half-teasing and half-sighing. "I really envy that guy; at least his crush has already appeared, but for me, the person in my heart is still nowhere to be found!"

"Tch, Second, there are so many beauties at Huaxia University, is there really no one who catches your eye?" Huang Luo asked, looking somewhat puzzled as he shouldered his backpack.

"True, there are many beauties in university, but most of them are already taken. Aside from them, I really haven't met anyone who makes my heart flutter!" Han Yu sighed and said.

As the three of them walked along the tree-lined path, Huang Luo said to Lingyun, "Fourth, it's said that a transfer student has joined the Finance Department at our university!"

"A transfer student?" Han Yu's eyes lit up. "Is it a beauty?"

"A beauty? Why do you always assume it's a beauty whenever a transfer student is mentioned?" Huang Luo rolled his eyes at Han Yu.

"A beauty transferring here to pursue her fated Prince Charming—isn't that a plot point in many novels?" Han Yu said with a grin.

"Go on, go on. Where are you reading these cheesy novels?" Huang Luo waved his hand with a look of helplessness.

Upon hearing Huang Luo mention a transfer student, Lingyun couldn't help but think of Yang Yang, whom he had met just a few days ago. Su Wanyue had previously mentioned to him that Yang Yang would be transferring to Huaxia University to study; perhaps this transfer student was him.

Of course, this situation was related to a special school rule at Huaxia University. This rule stated that if an individual's ability could gain the approval of more than three highly respected professors from a certain college, they could directly enter Huaxia University to study in that department and enjoy the same treatment as other students. It was precisely because of this regulation that Huaxia University was able to recruit a group of exceptionally outstanding students every year, becoming the most famous university in all of Huaxia.

"Hey, Boss, stop keeping us in suspense. What's the background of this transfer student?" Han Yu nudged Huang Luo.

"This transfer student is a quite handsome guy. It's said he has a very high level of attainment in financial management and gained the approval of three professors, one of whom is even a Vice Dean of the Finance College," Huang Luo said.

"A Vice Dean of the Finance College? Are you talking about Professor Fuyungao?" Han Yu said, looking surprised.

"That's right, Professor Fuyungao," Huang Luo nodded.

"Hiss, it seems this person is truly no ordinary individual. Professor Fuyungao is famous for being picky and strict; to gain his approval, this person's strength must be very high," Han Yu couldn't help but gasp. "By the way, Boss, do you know the transfer student's name?"

"Of course, news about him has spread all over the campus forum. His name is Yang Yang, and it's said he's from Modu," Huang Luo said.

"Yang Yang, it seems it really is him," Lingyun muttered to himself.

"Eh, Fourth, looking at you, why do you seem like you already knew about this person?" Huang Luo suddenly said to Lingyun.

"Ah, that's right, I met him once before," Lingyun nodded and said.

"Met him once?" Han Yu looked Lingyun up and down. "Fourth, I've discovered that among the four of us in the dorm, you're the most unfathomable one! People who can enter Huaxia University in this way are no ordinary folks, and you happen to know both of them!"

"Perhaps," Lingyun shrugged.

Just then, a male student walked toward the three of them and stopped in front of them.

"Excuse me, are you Lingyun from the Computer Department?" the student said to Lingyun.

"I am. May I ask who you are?" Lingyun looked at the student he had never seen before, feeling somewhat puzzled.

"I'm a student from the Finance Department. Someone asked me to deliver a letter to you," the student took a letter out of his backpack and handed it to Lingyun.

After the student walked away, Huang Luo and Han Yu blocked his path: "Someone asked him to deliver a letter to you? This routine sounds so much like a girl sending you a love letter. Quick, open it and see which girl has taken a fancy to our Fourth. You know, most girls in the Finance Department are beauties!"

"I think you're going to be disappointed; this letter doesn't look like a love letter," Lingyun squeezed the envelope in his hand and said to the two of them.

To be honest, he was also curious about who wanted to send him this letter. He only knew a few people in the Finance Department, and this method of delivering a letter was clearly not their style.

"Regardless of whether it's a love letter, just open it and take a look," Huang Luo said from the side. "If it's not a love letter, I'm quite curious—in this day and age, if there's something to notify someone about, why not just make a phone call or send a message on QQ? Who would use such an ancient method?"

Lingyun tore open the envelope, but what was revealed from inside was an invitation.

"An invitation?" Han Yu peered curiously at the invitation in Lingyun's hand. "Eh, the inviter is Yang Yang. This Yang Yang, could it be the same Yang Yang who just successfully became a student in the Finance Department?"

"It's ten to one that it's him. After all, he's the only person named Yang Yang in the Finance Department that I've had any interaction with," Lingyun nodded.

"But why is he sending you an invitation? What is he inviting you to do?" Han Yu asked curiously.

"Hmm, is this an invitation to a party celebrating his entry into the Huaxia University Finance College?" Lingyun said.

"Fourth, I always feel this invitation isn't that simple. After all, as you said, you've only met this Yang Yang once. Why would he invite you to his celebration?" Huang Luo frowned and said.

"When soldiers come, block them; when water comes, earth covers it. I'd like to see what kind of medicine this guy is selling in his gourd!" Lingyun smiled and put away the invitation. Regardless of what kind of intentions the other party had, wouldn't he know once they met?
