Chapter 3

"Damn, you guy, now that you're awake, you want to read it? I haven't even written much yet!" Lin Yinlu turned his head and muttered softly.

Jige is Lin Yinlu's pen name for his novels, whether in China or South Korea, it's the same pen name.

Because his birthday is 1990.9.9, a series of four nines, so he chose Jige as his pen name.

"That's not right, I haven't asked you to show me anything recently, have I?" Li Xianlong looked at his best friend curiously; he was the one who knew Lin Yinlu best in the class.

After all, they had grown up together since childhood. Although he had moved out of their old neighborhood and lived alone, their friendship remained strong.

"Shit, *Quanxian* is almost finished. I'm writing a new book now. I just need a little more to finish the old one, so I haven't been writing much lately!" Lin Yinlu said without lifting his head.

Li Xianlong no longer read Korean novels; he only read Chinese martial arts or fantasy novels because they were more exciting and enjoyable.

Korean novels, with their romantic themes, were not suitable for him at all.

"Oh~~ A new book, that's great!" Li Xianlong perked up at the mention of a new book.

His Chinese skills were no worse than Lin Yinlu's.

They were best friends and both spoke four languages: Chinese, English, Korean, and Japanese.

They learned Chinese entirely for the sake of novels, one for writing and the other for reading.

English was one of the reasons they came to this school, and Japanese, well, you know, men understand!

"I'm not going to talk to you anymore, I'll talk after I finish this chapter!" Lin Yinlu wrote very quickly. He had a skill that made both his writing and typing speed very fast.

He could type 400 Chinese characters per minute, and that was while thinking and writing at the same time. If he were just transcribing, he could type 500 characters per minute.

He spent the entire morning's four classes writing his novel by hand.

The teacher didn't say anything to him because both he and Li Xianlong had special privileges.

Li Xianlong had outstanding grades, so the teacher didn't bother with him.

Lin Yinlu, on the other hand, was excellent at sports, and everyone at Kent Foreign College knew him.

He was the undisputed NO.1 in basketball, badminton, and tennis at the school.

Because of this, he felt free to write his novel during class, and the teacher didn't say anything to him.

"Hey~~ Jige, let's go to the basketball gym. I heard the Seoul University basketball team is here!" A classmate who was also on the school team said.

"Got it, Jiaozi, you go ahead. I'll be there in a few minutes. You guys warm up first, and take my bag with you!" Lin Yinlu said to the classmate who called him.

Jiaozi's real name was Cui Zhicheng, a member of the Kent School basketball team.

He was rather slim and only about 170 cm tall, so Lin Yinlu liked to call him Jiaozi.

For a moment, the entire classroom was left with only him, writing his novel.

"Ok~~ Done!" Lin Yinlu finished writing the manuscript and put it in his clothing box, locking it before leaving the classroom and heading to the gym.

"Hey, junior, why are you so late?" On the way, Lin Yinlu kept running into seniors, juniors, and freshmen.

Only some of the freshmen and sophomores didn't recognize him, and they were curious why this senior was so popular, with everyone greeting him.

"Senior, you're teasing me!" Lin Yinlu responded with a smile and continued jogging towards the basketball gym.

When he arrived at the basketball gym, it was already crowded, and both halves of the court were being used for warm-up exercises.

Lin Yinlu came to his school's side, took his bag, and went to the locker room to change.

As he entered, everyone in the gym noticed him.

"Oh, it's him!?"

In the stands of the gym, there were three girls, two of whom were clearly older and one younger.

All three of them were focused on Lin Yinlu, who was carrying his bag and heading to the locker room.

The two older girls, one looked a bit cold, but it was clear she was a beauty with a delicate oval face. If she lost her aloof demeanor, she would definitely be a great beauty, but unfortunately, life is fair.

The other one, while not as beautiful, was cute, with beautiful eyes that disappeared when she smiled, making her look very adorable and much more approachable than the cold one.

The younger one, if Lin Yinlu saw her now, he would definitely be surprised; it was the junior he helped this morning.

"Big sister, why did you drag me to watch a basketball game!" The young girl complained, pulling on the arm of the cold girl.

"Xiaoshuijing, what's wrong with a basketball game? I think it's very cool!" The cold girl hadn't answered yet, but the girl next to her spoke up first.

"Nothing, I just brought you here to meet someone. After I graduate next year, I want someone to help take care of you and protect you from being bullied!" The cold girl said to the young girl.

"Big sister~~ I don't need anyone to take care of me! No one dares to bully me!" The young girl, feeling disrespected by her sister, was very不服气 (unconvinced).

"Xica, are you planning to have Yinlu take care of Xiaoshuijing?" The cute girl asked the cold girl.

"Yes, Pani, you know that Lin Yinlu is very influential at our Kent College. Even the principal can't do anything to him. With him protecting Xiaoshuijing after we graduate, I can rest easy!" Xica coldly replied to her sister.

"Big sister, do you know that Lin Yinlu?" The young girl, Xiaoshuijing, was very curious.

"Hehe~~ I'll tell you later!" Xica didn't want to say more because she saw that Lin Yinlu had already changed and was coming out.

As he came out, he habitually looked around and quickly spotted the familiar two figures in their usual spot.

Seeing these figures, Lin Yinlu smiled and walked over.

As he walked over, he also noticed that there was another girl he had seen before next to the familiar figures, the junior he had helped this morning.

"Hehe, junior, I didn't expect to see you so soon!" Lin Yinlu said with a smile as he approached Xiaoshuijing.

Before Xiaoshuijing could respond, the cold girl, Xica, interjected.

"So, Xiaoshuijing, do you know him?"
