MTLNOVEL Chapter 37 This Stiff Acting
The class time quickly passed by.
As soon as the bell for the end of class rang, Wei Hong hurried out of the classroom without any intention of staying a minute longer.
It was evident that she was truly afraid if she left slowly, she would be held responsible for any mishap that might befall Wu Bin.
After class, Wu Bin went to the cafeteria to eat with his roommates.
They attracted a lot of attention along the way.
After all, Wu Bin was followed by a photography team, so it was easy for people to recognize him.
"That's Wu Bin, right? The 'brittle-boned' student from our university."
"I heard the president secured a postgraduate recommendation spot for him. He's just a freshman, and he's already got his postgraduate placement secured—that's too awesome."
"Awesome? Come on, he got that by risking his neck. I don't envy him one bit."
"Cut it out, stay away from him. Haven't you heard that even Zhao Hao was forced by him to transfer schools? We can't afford to mess with this sort of 'sick second-generation'."
Hearing people talk like this, He Bingbing couldn't help but laugh out loud.
She had heard of 'rich second-generation,' but this was the first time she'd heard 'sick second-generation.'
However, she felt that wasn't quite the right description for Wu Bin.
With Wu Bin's situation, he definitely wasn't a 'sick second-generation'—he was a genuine 'sick first-generation'!
Under everyone's gaze, Wu Bin went to line up for food in the cafeteria.
The cafeteria auntie serving food seemed to have Parkinson's the way her hand shook. She would scoop up a large spoonful, but very little actually ended up in the student's bowl.
"Auntie, can you give me a bit more? I'm still growing."
The cafeteria auntie sounded annoyed.
"If you want to eat more, buy another serving. Don't nag me here."
The student had no choice but to walk away with his tray.
"Next, what would you like to eat?"
Wu Bin pointed to three dishes, then said, "Could you give me some extra potatoes? Less meat is fine, I don't like eating meat."
The cafeteria auntie was visibly annoyed.
"You get what I serve. All this fuss about more of this, less of that—as if you're at home."
No sooner had the cafeteria auntie spoken when her colleague turned pale with fright.
"Old Pang, have you lost your mind? Don't you recognize him?"
Pang Qingmei looked puzzled.
"Who?"
"Wu Bin! The 'brittle-boned' student from our university!"
"Oh my gosh!"
Hearing what her colleague said, Pang Qingmei immediately realized her mistake.
She quickly altered her impatient demeanor, smiled warmly, and said, "So it's you, Student Wu. I didn't recognize you earlier, please don't be angry."
"Order whatever you want, it's on me."
Wu Bin smiled and shook his head.
"No need, just give me more potatoes. I don't like eating meat."
Upon hearing this, Pang Qingmei was not about to let it slide.
"How can that be? Young people need to eat more meat. Don't worry, I'll give you extra of both potatoes and meat."
Pang Qingmei scooped up a hefty spoonful of potato and braised pork for Wu Bin. He had no choice but to accept this heavy load of care and affection.
The students waiting in line behind saw this and nearly turned green with envy.
Damn it, even in the cafeteria line, this 'sick first-generation' has privileges?
Where is the justice in that!
Soon, all four roommates got their food and found a place to sit down.
Except the portion on Wu Bin's plate was more than what the other three had combined.
Song Bing and Xue Gui had no shame—they didn't hesitate to snatch food directly from Wu Bin's plate.
Another roommate, Liang Xin, was shy, now burying his head in his own meal.
He looked refined and genteel, rumored to be the only academic whiz in the dorm.
As a few of them were eating, suddenly there was a buzz at the entrance of the cafeteria.
Looking up, they saw a group of girls in miniskirts, energetically entering the cafeteria.
They were also holding flyers, actively handing them to any freshmen who approached.
"What are they doing, they don't quite seem like students?"
Hearing Wu Bin say this, Song Bing leaned over and chuckled, "Our Agricultural University's super girls, haven't you heard of them?"
Wu Bin shook his head.
He had heard of super girls, but "super girls" was new to him.
Xue Gui explained from the side, "They are a group formed by a few rich second-generation girls, planning to enter the entertainment industry in the future."
"Their singing and dancing are so-so, but they are all quite pretty, indeed not bad."
"The flyers they're handing out now are for their fan club."
"Doesn't our school encourage new students to join a club? The bigger the club's influence, the more credits it can gain, and their fan club is quite large and also often holds events, recruiting freshmen into the club every year."
With Xue Gui's explanation, Wu Bin understood.
These female students were really quite clever.
They could not only harvest a group of loyal fans in college but also use the relatively pure university environment to grow and expand their group.
Afterward, all they needed to do was sing and dance at various anniversary events, and they would easily obtain credits, killing several birds with one stone!
Behind these girls, there must be someone experienced guiding them.
As Wu Bin was thinking this, a few girls approached him.
"Oh my god, aren't you Wu Bin?"
The girl with twin ponytails put on a very surprised expression, then excitedly ran over to Wu Bin's side.
"Wu Bin, could I take a photo with you?"
Wu Bin was expressionless, his heart undisturbed.
Awkward.
Too awkward!
Having lived two lifetimes, Wu Bin had long since developed the ability to see through pretenses.
He could be one hundred percent sure that this girl's approach was not by chance.
Look at that makeup, that outfit, that exaggerated tone.
This was no coincidence; she must have been planning for a while now to bump into Wu Bin live-streaming himself eating... potatoes and braised beef!
Sure enough, once one girl took the first step, several others quickly followed.
"Really, it's Wu Bin!"
"Wow, Wu Bin, you're my idol, I'd also like to take a photo with you!"
Surrounded by a flock of chattering girls, the other male students watched with envious eyes.
The viewers in the live stream were excited by this scene as well.
"These young ladies are quite pretty, are they a group?"
"Yeah, they're the idol group from the Agricultural University called super girls."
"I like the one in the middle with twin ponytails, she looks so pure."
"I'm so jealous of Brother Wu, surrounded by beautiful girls as soon as he leaves the hospital."
"Wait a minute, why does it seem like Brother Wu isn't very happy?"
While the group of girls surrounded Wu Bin, wanting to take photos with him, Wu Bin deliberately kept his distance from them.
"I'm sorry ladies, but I'd really just like to eat my meal in peace. Could we perhaps take photos after I'm finished?" Wu Bin said.
As soon as Wu Bin spoke, the smiles froze on the girls' faces.
They even doubted if they had heard correctly.
Did Wu Bin just call them "seniors"?
