“Seeing him act like that, don’t you find it disgusting?”
Disgusting? What a joke?
It’s not like I have to lose my dignity or anything.
If I want to pick up money, I don’t even need to really praise him.
I just need to follow the crowd and mouth the words, pretending to say a few compliments.
This kind of money-throwing rich behavior is definitely the more the merrier, right?!
Hopefully… he throws money in front of me every day.
That way I can pick up money anytime…
“…..”
Lin Jiaxin mumbled to herself, said nothing, just stared straight at him, her eyes still wary.
The senior was taken aback, thinking he had seen through Lin Jiaxin’s worries. He twitched the corner of his mouth, put on an “I actually understand” expression, and lowered his voice to say:
“Actually, I can tell you’re annoyed by his type too, right?”
But Lin Jiaxin upon hearing this, just raised an eyebrow and still didn’t speak. She also wanted to see what bullshit he was trying to spew by saying all this.
And this senior took her silence as tacit consent. He glanced left and right, making sure no one was paying attention to them. Then, as if about to share a major secret, his voice went dry from suppressing some intense emotion:
“Junior, you don’t know this, but I went to the same high school as this guy. He was a transfer student from abroad.”
“On his first day of enrollment, he declared he wanted to be the school bully… if he didn’t like someone, he’d throw money at them.”
“In our class, there was a student from a poor family. Just because he ate steamed buns with pickled vegetables in front of him… guess what happened?”
“He actually… took a stack of bills and slapped it in the guy’s face, saying don’t eat this unnutritious junk food in front of him, and told him to go buy steak.”
“And that was in front of the whole class!”
“He made the guy’s face turn red, and he even cried… and then he had the nerve to complain about the guy crying too loudly, telling him to go buy the steak, eat it, and then cry slowly.”
“We’re all adults, and he’s still playing a character from last century’s movies. I fucking hate people like that…”
“He just transferred in mid-term, does nothing, just stands there, throws a little money, gives some perks to the class, and everyone thinks he’s unique and a good person.”
“We bust our asses studying, organizing events, building our resumes, and in his eyes it’s probably just a joke.”
He paused, almost squeezing the latter half out through clenched teeth: “As if our efforts are inherently inferior to his money.”
“…”
Bro, this guy isn’t a school bully at all?
Isn’t he the school dad?
If he doesn’t like someone, he gives them money, and he doesn’t even actively bully people. This is practically the school dad arriving!
So… that’s it?
Lin Jiaxin still didn’t quite understand where the hostility came from. There were plenty of rich and powerful people in the world; you couldn’t hate every single one of them.
Could it be just because he likes throwing money in public?
But if he was using money to bully people, that would be one thing.
The thing is, he doesn’t even do that?
He just puts on a bit of a show, and he even fundamentally solves the problem of poor students not being able to afford meals.
Other than that, what’s the problem?
If it weren’t for the fact that she didn’t have that much money, Lin Jiaxin would have wanted to imitate him and do this a few times herself.
Then the Manifestation True Qi would be maxed out, right?
Tsk, just imagining it is a bit blissful…
!!
The senior saw Lin Jiaxin’s lips unconsciously curl into a smile because she was imagining herself as the protagonist, and his heart leaped with joy.
As expected! As soon as I mentioned that poser, she couldn’t help smiling. This is clearly the expression of finding a kindred spirit!
The senior exclaimed in surprise:
“See, you admit you think so too, right!”
Admit my ass! Who admitted anything!
Lin Jiaxin looked at him speechlessly and didn’t want to continue the conversation:
“…Senior, do you have anything else? If not, I’m going to eat.”
The senior chuckled, finally revealing his true intentions:
“I saw your disdain. I think… you should hate this kind of bully just like me. We have the same values, we should get along well.”
“So… junior, let’s exchange contact info!”
Lin Jiaxin: “……”
She raised an eyebrow and narrowed her eyes into a dangerous slit:
“So, senior, you set up all this just to get my contact info? Couldn’t you have just said so earlier?”
“Uh, not entirely… I still hate him quite a bit.”
The senior didn’t elaborate, but rubbed his hands together, full of anticipation: “Well… junior, can you give it to me?”
“No.”
Lin Jiaxin pursed her lips, crooked her mouth, snorted, and directly refused!
Give it just because you ask? Then wouldn’t I, your Sister Xin, lose face?
Besides, although in this life she’s not attracted to women due to physiological reasons, she also has no desire to find a boyfriend.
Find a man to act cute and beg for love in front of him? Ridiculous! Don’t interfere with my cultivation, okay!
“Huh? Why?”
The senior was puzzled and tried to salvage the situation.
But Lin Jiaxin just gave him a light glance and said lazily:
“No reason. I don’t have a phone, so I can’t give it.”
“Wait… then what’s that thing in your hand?”
“A model.”
“A model can light up, display a screen, and scroll through Dou Lang videos?”
“Oh, that’s something I just picked up on the road. I’ll turn it in to the lost and found later.”
“?”
The senior choked for a long time, his face turning pale then red. He finally realized he had made a fool of himself. Suddenly ashamed and angry, he snarled:
“If you don’t want to give it, just say so. What are you pretending for?”
Before Lin Jiaxin could retort, the money-throwing senior walked over and shouted at the now furious would-be suitor:
“Oi! Isn’t this my high school classmate, Li Hua? Long time no see?”
The money-throwing senior patted him on the shoulder and laughed heartily, but then his hands and legs inexplicably started twisting rhythmically on the spot.
“Oh right, Li Hua, I hosted an awesome pool party yesterday. Everyone at the party picked up money until their hands got sore. Guess who wasn’t invited?”
“Tch…”
The would-be suitor turned red, snorted coldly, turned his head away, and said defiantly:
“What’s so great? I don’t care!”
‘Oh? Really don’t care? Bro, I can see your eyes are practically red. You’ve just got red-eye disease, right?’
Lin Jiaxin was quietly eating her popcorn on the sidelines, almost laughing out loud at the sight of him turning beet red.
“Oh heavens, listen… what this little freak says makes me can’t help but laugh!”
The money-throwing senior was delighted too. He laughed exaggeratedly, clutching his stomach, and pointed at the guy’s nose:
“Oh my friend, listen to me… You should go apply at McDonald’s outside, become their brand ambassador. No makeup needed… because that’s exactly like you!”
“Oh hahahaha…”
…
While Li Hua was already in a state of red-hot rage, Lin Jiaxin was somewhat shaken by the money-throwing senior’s behavior. She didn’t care what conflict they had between them.
What really threw her off was that this guy had absolutely no accent, yet whenever he spoke, he exuded a thick classical translationese straight out of old movies, complete with some very specific mocking body language.
Just because he came back from abroad, he has to fit this stereotype, huh?
