CHAPTER 1444: CHAPTER 621: THE OPPRESSIVE FEELING FROM THE FEMALE TOP STUDENT

"You should ask the Birthday Star for their consent. Why are you asking me?"

Bai Jiao was too aloof. Lin Baici estimated that Liu Zilu might not object, but Bai Jiao probably wouldn’t agree.

"You’re the Senior Monitor. You have influence!"

Xu Daguan’s words weren’t just flattery. Even though Lin Baici was notorious for skipping classes, performed poorly, and didn’t have much money, he had done a few notable things since enrolling in college, making him quite popular and a well-known figure among freshmen.

"Hehe!"

Lin Baici shook his head, "You should ask Bai Jiao and the rest. I’m okay with whatever!"

Xu Daguan was about to persuade further when he saw Ji Xinyan and her dorm mates, including Bai Jiao, entering through the front door. He immediately waved and shouted, "Bai Jiao, Zilu, the Monitor agreed, it’s going to be a big celebration."

"That’s right, I heard it too, Old White agreed!"

"The Monitor has issued a decree, you must obey!"

"Those who defy will be beheaded!"

Among the boys, Zhang Zhixu and the others were already eager to have a class-wide gathering and considered winning Ji Xinyan’s affection a big win.

"How grand will it be? Like Empress Dowager Cixi’s 60th birthday celebration?"

Ji Xinyan teased.

"Haha, it feels like it might spark a revolution!"

Liu Zilu was quite looking forward to it, tugging at Bai Jiao’s sleeve, "It would be nice to have a class gathering!"

Bai Jiao looked at Xu Daguan with a slight frown, then glanced at Lin Baici.

Their eyes met.

Lin Baici shrugged; with the boys being so enthusiastic, he couldn’t very well spoil the mood by saying he wasn’t interested.

Students from other classes were watching them, so Bai Jiao felt embarrassed to say anything and took a seat at the spot reserved for her at Pei Fei’s place.

"Dumpling, are we doing this or not? Say something!"

Zhou Zhou urged. Among the boys, there were a few good ones, especially Xu Daguan. Since the second semester started, they hadn’t done anything together as a class. How could they build deep friendships like this?

"Let’s do it then, but let me say this first: Zilu and I will cover the dinner costs, you don’t need to worry about it. Also, no birthday gifts should be prepared!"

Bai Jiao was reluctant to agree, but she knew that refusing would make her the target of everyone’s displeasure.

"How can there be no birthday gifts?"

Pei Fei thought it was inappropriate, and moreover, with so many classmates, it would cost quite a bit for a meal.

Both Bai Jiao and Liu Zilu’s parents were regular salary workers. For them to spend so much money, would they have to make do with plain steamed buns for the latter half of the month?

"If you don’t agree, we won’t do it!"

Bai Jiao insisted.

Liu Zilu was a bit disappointed; she was looking forward to receiving a pile of gifts and the joy of opening them.

"Not having birthday gifts seems unsuitable. How about this, let’s agree that no gift should cost more than one hundred yuan. It’s affordable for everyone, and you can receive them with ease, just as a token of goodwill!"

Ji Xinyan suggested.

"That’s a good idea!"

Zhou Zhou nodded vigorously.

Next to them, Tao Nai clapped her small hands like a seal. "It has to be my dear Sister Yan, always thinking things through thoroughly!"

Xu Daguan, ever-so-thick-skinned, directly approached Bai Jiao and company to ask about their decision, "So, have you two Birthday Stars made up your minds?"

Zhou Zhou quickly shared the result of their discussion with Xu Daguan.

Xu Daguan immediately announced in the class group chat that the proposal for the gathering had been approved.

"That Xu Daguan, definitely the first in our class to get into a relationship!"

Zhang Zhixu envied.

"Did you forget about Qian Jiahui?"

Li Song thought he was more like a bulldozer; when others hadn’t even held a girl’s hand, he had already moved on to another.

"A life-winner like that, isn’t suitable for comparison!"

Zhang Zhixu was speechless. Comparing oneself to money-loaded players like Qian Jiahui wasn’t just seeking trouble?

"Old White, considering your good conditions, haven’t you thought about finding a girlfriend?"

Li Jianan couldn’t understand, if he had Lin Baici’s reputation, physique, and looks, he would at least find a girlfriend each semester to not waste it.

"What are your thoughts?"

"Do you already have one?"

"What are you doing skipping classes so often?"

Everyone was curious, could Lin Baici be gay?

"I’m such a poor student, who would be interested in me?"

Lin Baici laughed. If he told these guys that he was currently living with his counselor, their jaws would drop!

And then there’s Hua Yue Yu, Lin Baici knew that half of the boys in class watched her livestreams, and Qian Jiahui was a wealthy fan of hers.

By the way, now they’d have to add Big Sweet Sister to the list.

With the two’s popularity at Haijing Polytechnic, they likely had quite a few supporters.

He needed to be careful. If his connection with Hua Yue Yu and Big Sweet Sister was discovered, with their past interactions being so personal, fans might be envious but someone could potentially dig up his dirt and socially condemn him.

"I’m skipping classes because I’m working to earn money!"

Lin Baici wasn’t lying, but the job was special.

"Indeed, without money, you can’t even find a girlfriend these days!"

Li Jianan sighed, coming from the countryside, he was very self-conscious and didn’t dare to have thoughts of pursuing a girlfriend.

"What kind of work? You’re not accompanying rich ladies in a nightclub, are you?"

Zhang Zhixu envied, "Old White, those two chanting videos you posted on BiliBili occasionally make it to the homepage, and the comments section has turned into a wishing pool. With the views every month, you should be earning ten thousand yuan, right?"

BiliBili pays based on views, and if Lin Baici continued creating content, his earnings would increase.

"I don’t know, I haven’t checked!"

Lin Baici had long forgotten about this.

Everyone’s phones buzzed.

Xu Daguan @-ed all members in the class group, urging everyone to quickly finalize the specific time for the birthday party.
