Transmigrating Into a Book, the Villain Becomes the White Moonlight!

86: Chapter 86 I advise you to leave quickly”Hey, Brother Su, there’s something you don’t know.” The fatty was completely awake now, sitting cross-legged on the bed and wagging his finger. ”A University, you see, has many geniuses who got in through sheer talent, but there’s also a significant portion—”

He winked and lowered his voice, acting mysterious. ”They got in through connections. There are plenty of ways.”

”Oh?” Su Bai raised an eyebrow and asked cooperatively, ”So you used connections too?”

”Me?” The fatty puffed out his chest with a righteous look, even carrying a hint of inexplicable pride. ”I got in fair and square—by paying!”

He spoke with absolute conviction.

”These days, as long as your scores aren’t too ridiculous, if you’re just off by a bit, your family can pull some strings. You go through paths like ’special talent recruitment’ or ’local cooperative training,’ and then combine it with this—”

He skillfully rubbed his thumb and index finger together, making the universal gesture for money. ”What school can’t you get into?” He was clearly well-versed in these matters.

Su Bai nodded understandingly without commenting, then turned his gaze to Zhou Feng, who had silently climbed down from his bed. ”What about you, Fengzi?”

Su Bai knew the fatty came from a wealthy family and had many connections.

But Zhou Feng was different. He had an ordinary background; his parents were working-class, so he clearly didn’t possess the fatty’s ’money power’ or network.

”I tested in,” Zhou Feng said succinctly.

His reaction was much calmer, though there was an irrepressible joy in his eyes whenever he looked at Su Bai.

”Exactly!” The fatty nodded vigorously from the side, adding on for Zhou Feng with a tone of admiration.

”Brother Su, you have no idea. The year after you went abroad, this kid became a completely different person. He studied like his life depended on it! He stopped playing games and spent all day in the library. That drive... Tsk, even though his mechanics in games are trash, when it comes to studying, he’s actually got the talent for it!” He slapped Zhou Feng hard on the shoulder.

Su Bai watched as Zhou Feng sheepishly pushed up his glasses and laughed. ”So you’re the type who slacks off for the first half and then stuns everyone with a final sprint, huh?”

The familiar teasing instantly lightened the atmosphere.

”By the way, Brother Su, now that you’re back... are you staying at our school?” The fatty asked the most crucial question, his eyes full of anticipation.

”Yeah, I just finished the paperwork,” Su Bai nodded. ”I just haven’t decided whether to live on campus yet.”

”Brother! My dear brother! Brother Su!”

Upon hearing this, the fatty bounced right off the bed, jumped onto the floor barefoot, and grabbed Su Bai’s arm.

”You have to! You absolutely must! Do you know why I was able to apply for a dorm room with only two people? I used the excuse of needing a quiet study environment, but really, I just wanted the space! With you here, it’ll be the three of us! The Iron Trio reunited at A University—what could be better than that? We’ll game tonight!”

Seeing the fatty’s frantic yet sincere look, then seeing Zhou Feng stop what he was doing and cast an expectant gaze...

He laughed and patted away the fatty’s hand. ”Alright, alright, I get it. I’ll go find someone this afternoon to finalize the housing procedures.”

Su Bai had actually been a bit hesitant about living on campus, but seeing both the fatty and Zhou Feng there, his slight hesitation instantly vanished.

”Neither of you have classes today? Still lazing in bed at this hour,” Su Bai asked casually, glancing around the relatively tidy dorm room.

”Sigh, don’t even mention it,” the fatty rubbed his still-puffy face and chuckled. ”Last night, I organized a gathering and dragged him along for a mixer with the girls from the neighboring Foreign Language College. We drank a bit too much.”

As he spoke, he nudged the listless Zhou Feng with his elbow and winked.

Su Bai gave an understanding and slightly teasing smile, his gaze shifting between the two. ”Oh? Sounds like a successful campaign. How was the quality of the girls?”

”They were great, obviously!” The fatty perked up, gesturing wildly. ”There’s a second round tonight! But it’s on campus. How about it, Brother Su? Join us? It’ll be a welcome party for you, and I can introduce you to some new friends!”

He issued the invitation enthusiastically, clearly treating Su Bai as the trump card to elevate the mixer’s class and fun.

”I really can’t do it anymore; I need a day to recover.” Upon hearing there was another one tonight, Zhou Feng’s face turned even paler. He waved his hands hurriedly, his voice sounding weak.

”Fatty, the way you drink is terrifying. My stomach is still cramping.” Fearing the fatty would try to persuade him further, he scurried back under the covers, showing through his actions that he needed to sleep to recover. It seemed he had indeed been forced to drink heavily last night.

”Tsk, look at you! How can a man say he ’can’t’ so easily?” The fatty looked at him with disappointment, then turned expectantly to Su Bai. ”Brother Su, what about you? Do me a favor and come join the fun?”

Su Bai shrugged indifferently. Since he had nothing else to do, it wouldn’t hurt to check out the scene. ”Sure, why not.”

In the afternoon, Su Bai efficiently handled the housing procedures—naturally, with his family’s influence behind the scenes, everything went smoothly.

He also bought some simple bedding and daily necessities and had them delivered to the dorm.

The fatty volunteered to help set things up, his mouth never stopping as he planned the strategy for the evening mixer.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the campus.

Lin Wan had just finished a class and was walking out of the teaching building carrying her books. Her elegant figure was particularly striking in the crowd.

She hadn’t gone far when Ji Bochang, as if he had been waiting for a long time, quickly caught up from the side and walked alongside her, a concerned smile on his face.

”Wanwan, what was the emergency yesterday? You left before the birthday banquet was even over. Everyone was very worried about you.”

His tone was gentle, as if he were truly concerned out of simple classmate camaraderie.

In reality, the main reason he had specifically come to ’bump into’ her today was that he had been in the dormitory building this morning and clearly saw Lin Wan’s car parked downstairs. He saw her get out with a man he had never seen before, and that man had even casually waved to her before they parted.

That scene was like a thorn stuck in his heart.

”I’m fine. You don’t need to follow me.” Lin Wan didn’t stop, her brow furrowing slightly. She quickened her pace, wanting to shake off this nuisance.

But Ji Bochang was clearly well-versed in the art of persistence. Not only did he not get shaken off, but his smile remained unchanged. ”It was such a great day yesterday, yet we couldn’t celebrate properly. How about... I make it up to you tonight? Just the two of us. I know a really great restaurant...”

Lin Wan felt a wave of annoyance at this persistent, sticky-plaster-like harassment.

She was about to coldly refuse again when her gaze inadvertently swept across the small path leading to the dormitory area not far ahead.

It was Su Bai.

Lin Wan’s footsteps came to a sudden halt.

She turned to look at the still-rambling Ji Bochang, who was trying to invite her to dinner, and a look of aloofness flashed in her cold eyes. ”I advise you to leave quickly.”
