Chapter 346 Dinner at Qin’s Villa
In this century-old famous school of Huaxia, it is an unwritten rule that students show families and friends coming to visit around the campus. But Lin Luodong’s friends and relatives are so great a crowd of people. Among them, Mr. Lin, Mrs. Lin, Zeng Tian, and Li Xi’er are all cultivators. They all have the remarkable temperament, not to mention appearance. At first sight, people may find out they are unordinary. Such a large group of people is really striking on campus.
When Huang Weijian and Wei Xue “get the message” and come to join them, the team is even more attractive.
Lin Luodong is outgoing and gentle. Huang Weijian is introverted and modest. They are all cultivators. No matter how hard they try to keep a low profile, they are still very special among all students. Wei Xue is also a comely girl. These three people are the famous “iron triangle” of the University of Hua. They all have their own fans.
On the tree-lined avenue, Li Xi’er cracks a smile. A student of the University of Hua almost runs into the light pole. Lin Luodong sees it and thinks these “dangerous people” cannot stay here anymore. They decide to change to another place.
But where?
The Lin Family really knows a lot of people in the capital.
Master Guo’s house is at the base. It has a check reception of all people coming in and may investigate all visitors’ ancestors. Well, it exaggerates. But still, how can they have fun at the base? Plus, it’s said that Master Mu is in his critical moment of closed-door training. Maybe they can only go to Qin’s villa.
Li Xi’er curls her lips, “You should get an apartment near the school. Your dormitory looks really small.”
Her parvenu tone makes Wei Xue uncomfortable. The cheapest apartment near the University of Hua still costs more than 40,000 yuan per square meter. It costs several million to buy any apartment nearby.
Wei Xue has got to know the Lin family is a cultivator family just now. She spent lots of time with the Lin family when she was a child, so she doesn’t think they are as arrogant as cultivators in the legend. After struggling for a while, she chooses to treat it with a common feeling.
In earthly life, people think so much of power and wealth. Wei Xue does not know the Lin family owns the huge industry “Lins’ Pharmaceutical Factory”. With different perspectives, Li Xi’er doesn’t show off her wealth on purpose.
Since they came to the capital for tourism, Zeng Tian has arranged a few cars. They drive out of school in their own cars.
Zeng Tian drives the car and Lin Luodong is in the front seat. Wei Xue and Huang Weijian are in the back seat.
Huang Weijian suddenly asks, “Shall we call fatty?”
Fatty is Ma Ming. He couldn’t get into the University of Hua. With the help of Lin Luodong and Huang Weijian in the last year, he outdid himself and was enrolled by a second-tier college in the capital. It was good enough to let his father make grand banquets for continuous three days and reward him with a roadster and a house in Zhongguancun. His college is very close to the University of Hua so the four are not estranged at all.
Huang Weijian suddenly asks this question because Ma Ming doesn’t know they are cultivators.
Lin Luodong thinks for a while and then he nods.
Wei Xue pays special attention to Lin Luodong’s reaction. When she gets the signal of permission, she calls Ma Ming quickly and tells him where to meet.
As Zeng Tian drives, he sighs over how time flies. When he first met these two boys, they were just small children. Now, in the blink of an eye, he is at the age of going to college and falling in love.
“You guys really don’t need an apartment near the university?” When it comes to houses, Zeng Tian has more of a say in the Lin family. He has many projects in the capital. Lin Luoran’s original intention of setting up Lins’ Pharmaceutical Factory is to make money, but it is not the only reason. Lins don’t go into the real estate business in the capital. Instead, they have bought a circle of houses around Dongting Lake—Lin Luodong is really a rich boy. However, Huang Weijian and he only live a life a little better than children of ordinary working families.
Hearing Zeng Tian’s proposal, Lin Luodong is kind of tempted. Dorm life is lively, but it is really inconvenient for his self-cultivation. He can’t be comparable with Huang Weijian in personal ability. Lin Luodong can’t even cast simple magical camouflage like “Mini World”. It is very difficult to self-cultivate in the dorm. In more than a year, with his great talent of single Taoist root and many years of experience living in Lin family, he is only in the early Training Qi period. Compared to her sister Lin Luoran’s amazing speed, he is really not good enough.
“But tell you first, I can’t afford too expensive ones…” Lin Luodong thinks about his pocket money. He doesn’t think it’s enough to buy a house near the University of Hua. Of course, the price in the real estate industry is unnecessarily expensive. If Zeng Tian gives him a good discount, he can almost afford an apartment.
Holding the steering wheel, Zeng Tian is amused, “School brother and I haven’t sent you the present for being enrolled by the No. 4 Middle School yet. In addition to this time being admitted to the University of Hua, an apartment is naturally a gift for you. Look at you, little miser!”
Lin Luodong just accepts it and nods like an old man, “That’s nice. That’s nice. It would be better if there were two sets. It’s inconvenient for Wei Xue to live with us… ”
Before he finishes speaking, Wei Xue loses her temper and sneers, “No need to worry about me, Mr. Lin. We common people totally get used to the dorm.”
Lin Luodong scratches his head and winks at Huang Weijian. Is Wei Xue in her period? If not, why is she so moody?
Zeng Tian and Huang Weijian are both wordless. Lin Luodong is so similar to his sister Lin Luoran in this aspect! They are all unbelievably obtuse. He has hurt the girl’s sensitive self-esteem but he doesn’t realize it.
Grains of sand are blown against the car window. Now they are living in a golden time, in the capital in May 2018. Young boys and girls have squabbles and Ma Ming’s coquettish roadster suddenly drives head-on into traffic, making Zeng Tian honk the car horn fiercely. At this time, everything is so good that it is like a dream, which makes people reluctant to wake up.
They don’t know Lin Luoran has borne Essence, but what does it matter? No matter where Lin Luoran is in this world, her loved ones can always enjoy the last pure land in the mortal world because of her protection.
…
“Mommy, big bird, big bird!” The three-year-old Qin Nian points at Goldie that falls in the garden. His small eyes are wide open. He looks just like Lu Sanchun with much softer contour. It’s like an iron soldier turns into a cute little boy.
Except with Lin Luoran, Goldie is disdainful of riding four-wheeled cars. It is so fast that it arrives at the Qin’s Villa before everyone.
Mrs. Lu almost gets a headache because of her noisy son. She follows her son’s eyes and sees a golden eagle on the fence of the garden. It is cleaning its golden feathers perkily. From time to time, it looks at the intersection with its head a little to one side, as if it is waiting for someone.
Commander Qin sees Goldie upstairs. He laughs and walks downstairs, “Granddaughter-in-law, some guests are coming.”
Mrs. Lu holds Qin Nian. Guest, is this golden eagle a guest?
To answer her question, several cars appear at the intersection. With the windows rolled down in the car, she sees Zeng Tian who she is very familiar with—As the second apprentice of Lin, Zeng Tian usually helped his school brother Yuan Ye to visit her when she was pregnant.
“It’s the Lin family!” Mrs. Lu holds Qin Nian to welcome them. After a few rich years, she hasn’t thrown away the careful part of her character. The Qin family is the support of the Lu family. The relations.h.i.+p between the Lin family and the Qin family is not so?
“Commander Qin is still so healthy!” Mr. Lin salutes with hands folded.
After Commander Qin and Mr. Lin finish greeting, Lin Luodong and other people step forward to greet grandfather Qin. Honey-lipped Wei Xue also follows and calls grandfather Qin. Little fatty has a sharp eye. At a glance, he recognizes the old senior military commander of the State of Huaxia.
Alas, Lin Luodong’s family is always very well-liked everywhere. The fatty is very proud of the decision he made that year. Of course, fitting into this small group is the most correct decision. As for the purpose of destroying them after fitting in, he has forgotten it a long time ago—If you live with a lame person you will learn to limp. By making righteous friends, it is easy to get rid of the dark side of your character. Then you become closer and closer to the kind of person you want to be.
Mrs. Lu takes their nanny to prepare for everything. Commander Qin waves his hand and says she needs to prepare a big dinner for the a.s.sembly tonight. He also asks her to call Lu Sanchun back together.
Commander Qin winks to Mr. Lin. Mr. Lin bursts into laughter, “Don’t worry! We have enough spirit wine!”
Not only spirit wine is enough, wherever picky Lin family is, Mr. Lin’s Storage Belt always stores a lot of home-grown vegetables and fruit. What Mrs. Lu can prepare is just some meat.
Ma Ming is still thinking about what “spirit wine” is when Lin Luodong proposes having a barbecue dinner tonight.
Commander Qin remembers wild pork in Qingcheng Villa that year, and his mouth begins to salivate unconsciously.
But are there any wild things here?
This is easier to handle. Lin Luodong earnestly begs Goldie. After promised amenities, the proud king finally bows its head to delicious food and promises to serve as a hunter.
Ma Ming is so confusing, but even Wei Xue is so used to everything. The fatty feels so lost, thinking that he is excluded from a small circle.
Lin Luodong and Huang Weijian look at each other helplessly. In fact, it doesn’t hurt if they tell Ma Ming the truth. But the little fatty likes to show up so much. Will he swagger around more often after knowing he has two strong backups?
Well, forget about it. You can’t require everyone to have the same personality. If someday Ma Ming knows to keep a low profile, then he is no longer himself.
“You will know bit by bit tonight!” Lin Luodong guarantees him. The little fatty hums and reluctantly accepts it.
It is buzzing with excitement here. Sister Rong has been trained to be a good house worker during this year and her cooking skills improve quickly. The most important thing is she has learned to have a sense of propriety and take the initiative to help.
The barbecue grill is just set up, Mrs. Lu is preparing charcoal, and Rong Donglin is helping his sister to wash the fruit. When his teacher is busy, Lin Luodong does not dare to do anything. Then it becomes an activity that everyone partic.i.p.ates in.
Qin Nian, like a small bun, is holding on to Li Xi’er’s skirt. A big bun face confronts a small bun face for a moment. Then Li Xi’er is defeated. A Laying Foundation cultivator has to perform “magic” for Qin Nian—The sharp Gold spell has become sightseeing, which makes everyone laugh.
Goldie goes back and forth three times in less than one hour. The first time it’s two wild rabbits. Then it’s two pheasants. For the third time, it throws a deer in the Qin’ s yard. Commander Qin goes into a dilemma, “Which levels of protection the sika deer is?”
Mr. Lin coughs and changes the topic, “It will be the best if we go fis.h.i.+ng together sometimes. The fis.h.i.+ng clubs in the capital are very boring. I don’t know where we can go fis.h.i.+ng in the wild.”
Seeing that Commander Qin is distracted and talks to Mr. Lin about fis.h.i.+ng, other people are relieved.
If there is an extremely upright elder in the family, it will really be a test.
The poor sika deer is cooked. The rabbit and pheasant also become meat on a stick. A long dining table is set in the yard, full of various vegetables, meat, and cut fruit. Tonight, there is a lovely buffet barbecue.
Ma Ming takes a sip of spirit wine. He feels that those wines which he drank in bars are as inferior as dish-was.h.i.+ng water.
He is about to express his feelings, and Qin Nian shouts toward the intersection with the child’s tone, “Daddy, Daddy is back!”
Lu Sanchun is usually very busy. Qin Nian is the happiest whenever Lu Sanchun comes home. He waves to the intersection. Everyone follows his eyes and is very surprised.
It is not just Lu Sanchun who comes back. Lin Luoran, who is very “heartless” because of leaving them for a year, and Yuan Ye with a grudging face because of being left home are looking at them with a big smile.
“Did I miss dinner?”
Mrs. Lin lowers her head to wipe away tears, “You little heartless girl.”
Ma Ming pinches his thigh. He remembers that years ago, Lin Luodong’s star sister was in her early twenties. Why doesn’t she look old?
