Chapter 47: The Maiden is Indeed a Great Beauty

  Is this considered a lost love? He Mu walked under the night sky, thinking about this question.

  If I don't count it, then I've never been in love before. If I do count it, why do I have this uncomfortable feeling?

  Walking out of the university campus, not far away there is a bar. Whatever, let's have a drink first. After all, it was my own favorite girl who has now become someone else's girlfriend. If I don't use wine to drown my sorrows and pretend to be deep, it would be somewhat unconvincing. This can also be considered as respect for the other party.

  Because it's next to the university, this bar is doing a great business. In the blink of an eye, several batches of young men and women with youthful smiles have entered. He Mu sits alone at the bar watching the bartender mix drinks, then pours cup after cup into his mouth.

  Maybe it's because I drank with emotions today, but in the past, drinking was like drinking water for He Mu, and for the first time, he felt a little dizzy, of course, just a bit dizzy, still far from being drunk.

  Not far away, there were several university student-like girls sitting in a circle, seemingly playing some kind of game. He Mu's seat was just right to see it all - a lively girl spinning a bottle on the table, with the mouth of the bottle pointing directly at a beautiful long-haired beauty. The long-haired beauty said something, and the others looked disbelieving. Then the lively girl started spinning the bottle again, and this time it still pointed at the long-haired beauty. She pouted, covering her forehead, looking adorable and unlucky, then said something and stood up.

  "Pfft!" He Mu almost spat out the vodka, what the... where did this giant woman come from?! This beauty is too tall! When she's sitting down, she doesn't stand out, but as soon as she stands up, her true form is revealed. That towering figure instantly made many of the bar patrons' faces lose color, feeling ashamed and not daring to look directly at that "tall" beauty. He Mu also quietly shifted his gaze away, he's under a bit of pressure.

  Although he was no longer staring at the group of girls, He Mu still took a subtle glance in that direction. That glance was unexpected, and to his surprise, the "big" beauty actually walked towards him!

  ……

  Zhang Zilin is a senior at Beida, and also a model. At 182cm tall, she started part-time modeling from her freshman year and signed with the most well-known modeling agency in China "New Silk Road". Now she's quite famous in the modeling industry and has decided to pursue it as a career - after all, her figure would be wasted if she didn't become a model. Tonight she has a fashion show, and right after walking off the runway, she rushes back to school because today is her birthday and her dorm sisters want to celebrate with her.

  Because of her busy modeling career during college, Zhang Zilin had little time to hang out with classmates and roommates, which was also a major regret in her student years. Now that graduation is approaching, everyone will be going their separate ways soon, making it difficult to see each other again. Therefore, Zhang Zilin cherished this gathering very much.

  After drinking some wine, Dormitory Old Four suggested playing Truth or Dare, and she was in charge.

  Zhang Zilin was unlucky and got picked first, "I choose truth."

  The weird and wonderful Old Three asked, "What was your first boyfriend's name?"

  "I don't know." Zhang Zilin replied calmly.

  "How could we not know?" several people asked in puzzlement.

  "Because I haven't had a first love boyfriend yet." Zhang Zilin said matter-of-factly.

  "What?" "How is that possible?" "Come on, boss, tell the truth." None of them believed that such a beautiful Zhang Zilin would not have a boyfriend.

  "Maybe it's because of my height, I've never had anyone confess to me before, maybe they think being with me would be too much pressure, after all, there aren't many guys as tall as me." Zhang Zilin said thoughtfully.

  "After all, it's those men who aren't strong enough, they're naturally afraid of women who are stronger than them. If I were a man, I would definitely marry you, Lao Da, for the benefit of our next generation." The 1.6-meter-tall Lao Er said with conviction, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

  "Alright, second round." Lao Si took control of the wine bottle again, and this time, the person who was chosen... was still Zhang Zilin.

  "Ah, why is it me again!" Zhang Zilin slapped her forehead and pouted, how could she be so unlucky.

  Lao Si threw up his hands: "Low probability event, let's say it, true words or dare."

  "Big adventure."

  "What are you doing?" Two, three and four huddled together to discuss for a long time. Finally, Old Three looked in the direction of He Mu and said, "Do you see that handsome guy drinking alone? Go get his phone number."

  "No way." Zhang Zilin thought it was just going to be something like drinking a cup of wine or singing a song, but she didn't expect these girls to be so bad, actually letting her go hit on a strange man. This, she had no experience with.

  "Or else," said Lao Si with a pout, "I really want to know the handsome guy's phone number, and if I can get his name that would be even better."

  Under the encouragement of three sisters who forget friendship when they see colors, Zhang Zilin finally stood up and walked towards He Mu's direction.

  ……

  "Go away, go away!" He Mu secretly prayed in his heart, but unfortunately the effect was not very good. Soon he heard a pleasant female voice, "Excuse me, is anyone here?"

  He Mu smiled elegantly and said, "No one, please sit." He Mu thought to himself: You'd better sit down quickly, or you'll block the light.

  At this time, He Mu also saw Zhang Zilin's appearance clearly. Just now, it was a bit far away, and only the outline of a beauty could be vaguely seen. Now that he got closer, he had to say that this girl was indeed a great beauty! Although she was tall, her proportions were golden, and she didn't feel awkward at all. The beauty of her body was fully demonstrated on her, plus her pretty face and smooth skin. This girl was absolutely a school flower-level figure in school, and it was the kind where if she didn't graduate, other beauties wouldn't be able to take her place.

  Although she was a great beauty, He Mu was still able to remain calm and composed. He could tell that this girl had come for him, with ulterior motives, and it wasn't just the usual scenario of a lovesick girl trying to strike up a conversation with a handsome guy. There must be some hidden reason behind her actions. So He Mu pretended not to notice her, in order to force her to make the first move.

  Zhang Zilin is not the kind of vase with only a pretty face but no brain. She could have been admitted to Tsinghua University as a sports talent, but she insisted on taking the entrance exam and was accepted by the Business Administration Department of Beijing University of Science and Technology, which shows that her IQ is not a problem. With years of social experience, she can be considered a little fox. To get He Mu's phone number, she came up with a good idea.

  "Excuse me, sir. Hello, did you bring your mobile phone? My phone is out of battery, may I borrow yours to make a call?" Zhang Zilin interrupted He Mu's continuous drinking.

  "Alright." He Mu generously handed his phone over to Zhang Zilin.

  Zhang Zilin secretly put his own phone on silent mode, then used He Mu's phone to call himself. However, a tragic thing happened - He Mu's phone was out of credit!

  Forgive him, these days He Muyu's financial situation is indeed not very good, usually when he has something to do, he borrows Mi Min's mobile phone.

  Zhang Zilin gritted her teeth in anger. How could there be such a person? Plan one was declared a failure, and she returned He Mu's phone to him.

  "Are you done?" He Mu asked with a pretended drunken expression, narrowing his eyes. This old fox!

  "Oh, I'm done." Zhang Zilin looked at her little friends and raised an eyebrow to ask: This guy is difficult to deal with, can I go back?

  Little buddies all waved goodbye: Don't come back, stick to it, the organization believes in you!

  Zhang Zilin had no choice but to continue lurking beside He Mu, and before she could think of a countermeasure, He Mu seemingly unintentionally placed the empty wine bottle on the bar, then turned around, with the mouth of the bottle pointing directly at Zhang Zilin.

  Under Zhang Zilin's astonished gaze, He Mu asked: "What game is this?"

  "Exposed, definitely exposed," Zhang Zilin said with embarrassment: "Truth or Dare."

  "The bottle cap is facing you, what are you going to do?" He Mu asked again, he really didn't know this popular game in the university circle.

  "Choose Truth, you must answer the question asked by others truthfully. If you don't want to answer, you have to drink three cups of wine as a penalty. Choose Dare, you must complete the action or behavior required by others. If you can't finish it, you also have to drink three cups of wine as a penalty." Zhang Zilin clearly explained the relevant knowledge to He Mupu.

  He Mu was very pleased: "Since you're so obedient, should I give you my phone number?"

  Zhang Zilin's eyes lit up immediately, "Then thank you!"

  He Mu shook his head, "It's not that easy, you have to call me 'husband' before I can tell you."

  Zhang Zilin's smile came to an abrupt halt. "I'd rather drink three cups myself." Her impression of the handsome guy in front of her suddenly dropped to its lowest point.

  "Hey, don't be in a hurry, listen to me," He Mu leaned in and whispered, "You just need to let that bartender hear it, I was bragging with him earlier, saying you're my girlfriend, he didn't believe me, so we made a bet. So I want to ask for your help, how about this? I'll give you my number first, then you can decide whether to answer or not." He Mu then gave out his phone number, and Zhang Zilin remembered it after just one listen.

  It seems like it's just a lip service to herself, Zhang Zilin readily agreed. Before leaving the stage, she coquettishly said to He Mu: "Husband, I'll go accompany my friends first."

  "Go, baby." He Mu waved goodbye to Zhang Zilin who was gradually walking away, then glanced at the bartender, making sure he had heard their conversation earlier. With a self-satisfied smile, He Mu called out to the bartender, "Another bottle of whiskey, and I'll settle the bill when we're done."

  He gulped down a bottle of whiskey, and He Mu immediately fell onto the bar with a "thud", completely drunk and unconscious.

  The bartender called out to He Mu several times but couldn't wake him up, and wasn't in a hurry either. The monks ran away but the nuns didn't, you have your girlfriend with you, don't worry about who's going to pay the bill.

  Then, the bartender stared blankly at Zhang Zilin's table, while Zhang Zilin occasionally glanced at He Mu on the bar. Unbeknownst to them, they had both fallen into a poor devil's trap who couldn't afford to pay the bill. He Mu, lying on the bar with his eyes slightly open, was secretly sneering...
