Chapter 277: Chapter 277: The Popular Lin Xi (Second Update)
Since everyone spoke so truthfully, Lin Xi felt embarrassed to put on a cold face in response. Besides, they were all contributing to the piano career, and despite their age, they were quite adorable.
"My name is Lin Xi, I’m not yet twenty, a freshman in the finance department at Jiangnan University."
Lin Xi paused for a moment and continued, "As for a girlfriend, that’s personal privacy, so it’s inconvenient to say."
Honestly, it was difficult to say. After all, he silently pondered over it in his heart, debating who to mention—Bai Bing? Zhou Yan? Zhu Ying or Luo Susu right in front of him?
But if he mentioned them all, wouldn’t that be a bit inappropriate? So he simply claimed personal privacy as a reason to decline.
However, thanks to Lin Xi’s refusal, everyone thought Lin Xi was too shy to say that he actually didn’t have a girlfriend. It wasn’t shameful after all, considering his young age and talent.
So, some of the older ladies had lively thoughts.
"Xiaolin, come over to my house if you have time. My granddaughter is about your age, she’s in her sophomore year at the Normal University near your school. You two can meet up when you have the time, young people have common topics."
"Brother Zhang, your granddaughter’s already a sophomore, but Xiaolin is just a freshman!"
"So what if she’s a sophomore? My wife is five years older than me, what’s the big deal?"
"That was back then, now young people like those younger than themselves. Xiaolin, let me tell you, my niece is a senior in high school at First High, she’s a top student and the class belle. Come over to my house sometime, I’ll introduce you two."
"Old Wang, with your look, your niece can’t be that good-looking!"
"Old Zhang, keep your comments to yourself, no personal attacks!"
"Alright, alright, you two stop arguing, aren’t you ashamed at your age! Xiaolin, listen to me, ignore them. My daughter graduated two years ago, she’s got a great figure and looks beautiful, she has a car and a house with no bad habits. I’ll give you her WeChat!"
",,,,,,"
A few more people joined the fray, with mentions of nieces, cousins, and other relatives. The situation almost spun out of control, and they were nearly fighting to win him over.
Finally, Professor Guo had to step in. It was only by sacrificing Lin Xi’s WeChat ID that the crazy "matchmaker" scramble was calmed down.
Then everyone with Lin Xi began to send messages separately.
"You are Lin Xi?" Gong Yi was stunned for a while, glancing back and forth between Lin Xi and Luo Susu, finally asking incredulously.
"Yeah." Lin Xi nodded.
"The one from Jiangnan University?" Gong Yi continued to ask.
Lin Xi nodded again, not denying it.
"So, you’re the one I challenged on the campus network at noon?" Gong Yi was staring blankly at Lin Xi, feeling on the verge of collapse, as if life was incredibly dark. He felt he’d been like a big monkey all evening, performing wildly without any shame.
This time Lin Xi didn’t speak, but his expression said it all.
The next moment, without a word, Gong Yi turned and left the venue without saying goodbye to anyone. He felt his face burning red and was too embarrassed to stay.
"What happened to him?" Luo Susu came over at this moment.
Lin Xi briefly explained what occurred at noon and throughout the evening, causing the normally composed Luo Susu to burst into laughter. After a while, she whispered, "It’s really unethical for you to say it like that!"
In fact, it had nothing to do with Lin Xi; it was just a misunderstanding on Gong Yi’s part.
"Is it over now? Take me home." Lin Xi noticed it was almost eight o’clock and couldn’t help but say.
