GBP Chapter 91 The Scent of the Keeper
Chapter 91 The Scent of the Keeper
She was voted the cutest school beauty in a magic book contest. It was the hottest app lately, and although Su Peixue was pretty, she wasn't on the list. Deep down, she knew Su Peixue simply hadn't participated, but she didn't want to think about it; self-deception was enough to make her happy.
Not far away, Liu Huimin was chatting with her roommate when her voice drifted over.
"There are several developers of the magic book, one of whom is even one of my suitors! His name is Yao Ziwen, from Lu Da."
There was a hint of pride in Liu Huimin's tone when she said this.
One girl asked in surprise, "Are all the developers students?"
Ye Shixuan also came over to listen, thinking that the senior who could develop such a hit software must be very awesome.
Her family must be very rich. She was voted the school beauty in the magician competition. If this boss takes a liking to her, wouldn't she be set for life?
As for Lin Ran, he thought that developing a small errand-running program was something special, but little did he know that there are always people more capable than him. The owner of the Magic Book is the truly amazing person!
"Of course! Yao Ziwen told me that the boss is his roommate and also his brother, named Lin Ran."
Liu Huimin thought of the boy who had asked her to split the bill, and thought to herself that Lin Ran was indeed very handsome! He was much more handsome than those scumbags who only knew how to spend money on girls and become suckers! Those scumbags could never develop such a hit app!
Ye Shixuan's mind went blank for a moment.
The owner of the magic book... is Lin Ran... that wildly popular app now valued at tens of millions, that "cute school beauty" selection platform she's so proud of, that software she thinks is a hundred times better than running errands... is it Lin Ran's?!
Gao Tianxiang was equally stunned!
He was very anxious, and his eyes kept glancing at Ye Shixuan's expression.
He hadn't actually won Ye Shixuan over yet; his earlier claim of "winning her over" was just to provoke Lin Ran. Now he realized Lin Ran didn't care about Ye Shixuan at all, nor did he care what others said about her. He felt ridiculous. He stood on the track like a clown, spouting threats, then came in last place, and then started a fight.
I need to quickly salvage my image in front of Ye Shixuan.
Gao Tianxiang ridiculed Lin Ran from the side, saying that magic books become popular quickly but also cool down quickly, and that the internet bubble is full of inflated valuations that shouldn't be taken seriously.
Ye Shixuan didn't even look at him, and didn't listen to a single punctuation mark.
Suddenly, Ye Shixuan felt that all the boys who were pursuing her had paled in comparison.
There seemed to be an insurmountable figure in front of them.
Including Gao Tianxiang, the rich second-generation next to me, who just fell flat on his face. The difference between the last place and the first place is so obvious.
Ye Shixuan remained silent for a moment.
Su Peixue has added another gold medal to her snowy neck.
The number of participants for the next 100 meters was relatively larger, so there were two preliminary rounds, with a half-hour interval between them, and another half-hour interval between them and the final, for a total of one minute, running three sprints.
Lin Ran won first place in both rounds of the preliminary rounds without any suspense, and at this point he had become the focus of attention for the entire audience.
After the first round of preliminary matches, Wang Haochen made an excuse, saying he had a stomachache and diarrhea, and ran away.
He just thought Lin Ran was too abnormal. This guy was practically invincible!
I was originally thinking of stepping on Lin Ran's head, but now it seems there's no chance at all. I might as well withdraw from the competition to avoid being stepped on by Lin Ran.
In the subsequent relay race, after falling behind in the first three legs, Lin Ran single-handedly overtook his opponent in the final leg to win first place.
The audience at Luda University erupted in cheers, and the atmosphere reached a fever pitch!
Everyone was calling out Lin Ran's name.
Even girls from other schools cheered for Lin Ran.
That's absolutely amazing! Running so many races in one day, and coming in first place in every single one!
Wang Haochen's face turned green. He had signed Lin Ran up for so many projects, originally intending to embarrass Lin Ran, but they all turned into a stage for him to show off!
Wang Haochen thought to himself, "Lin Ran, so what if you're awesome today? We'll see tomorrow!"
He's asking for trouble by joining the basketball team; tomorrow his underwear will be kicked out!
Zhou Bing'an's face was all smiles, while Cai Yiheng next to him looked rather displeased.
These running events are usually the strengths of their vocational college, but today the men's team didn't win a single gold medal.
This student named Lin Ran is really amazing.
However, his name also seems to appear on the roster for tomorrow's basketball game.
That's perfect! The attention Lin Ran received today will only boost his school's basketball team's reputation even more tomorrow!
Basketball is not a one-man sport; no matter how good you are, you're still just one person. Besides, being fast has absolutely nothing to do with basketball skills.
Basketball is a highly prestigious sport in sports competitions. If they win tomorrow, all the glory Lin Ran has won today will be transferred to the vocational college basketball team.
Thinking this way, Cai Yiheng felt much better.
After the first day of the sports meet, Su Peixue returned to her dormitory with four gold medals hanging from her neck. Her neck was a little sore, and she carefully tucked them into her blankets.
The zookeepers earned all of this themselves!
There was also a faint smell of the zookeeper's sweat on it...
Song Yin was almost dizzy from the sight. She had witnessed Lin Ran hanging the medals on Su Peixue time and time again, with the same look in his eyes as if he were doting on his daughter.
"Lin Ran is playing a basketball game tomorrow. The vocational college is very strong! Last time, they seemed to beat our school by more than double the points!" Song Yin said with some worry.
"Is it because of that post?" Tan Shuang said.
Song Yin nodded, her face beaming with gossipy excitement: "It must be because Lin Ran saw the vocational school team taunting them and saying they wanted to flirt with Su Peixue that she joined the school team!"
Su Peixue lay on the quilt, holding Lin Ran's gold medal, and poked her head out.
How should we reward zookeepers who are possessive of their food?
It was already dark when the first day of the sports meet ended.
The crowd surged out of the stadium, with contingents from various schools carrying their flags and retreating from different exits. Lin Ran told her roommate that she wouldn't be going back to the dorm for dinner and headed out of the school.
Fatty Sun was waiting at the school gate, standing under the streetlights, his shadow round and plump. He had gotten even fatter in the two months since I last saw him.
Lin Ran walked over and patted him on the shoulder. "Let's go to the food stall."
The food stall is located at the easternmost end of Xuefu Road. There are more than a dozen folding tables set up in the open air, with a charcoal stove on each table. The charcoal is burning bright red, and smoke is rising into the air.
The two sat down, and Lin Ran expertly checked off the menu items: lamb skewers, beef skewers, grilled chicken wings, grilled eggplant, grilled chives, and a serving of enoki mushrooms wrapped in tin foil.
"Fatty, do you want your cola with or without sugar?"
Fatty Sun thought for a moment and said, "Brother Ran, it's even more refreshing when it's chilled!"
Lin Ran: "..."
Fatty Sun broke apart a pair of disposable chopsticks. "Ran-ge, several of our high school classmates are studying at universities in this city. Aren't we going to call them out?"
