Chapter 294: The Guest I Invited
"Big liar! I'm going back to the dorm."
As soon as Bu Mengting heard this, she knew she had been tricked by Lin Tian again, and turned to run.
The easy prey before him, Lin Tian couldn't possibly let it go. With a lunge, he rushed in front of Bu Mengting, embraced her, and then kissed her fiercely.
Soon, Bu Mengting melted into a puddle, her mind filled only with thoughts of Lin Tian, nothing else.
"Mengting, my little wife, don't go back to the dorm today."
"Mmm."
Bu Mengting quietly agreed, and the two of them did not return to their dorms that night.
The next day, the eagerly anticipated outdoor event finally began.
Lin Tian's dorm gang, brought out the tents and other living supplies they had already purchased.
What Lin Tian and his friends hadn't expected was that several women from Bu Mengting's dormitory also came along with her.
This included Liu Mei, who had lost a bet to Feng Jiabao last time at the swimming pool.
Guo Rong, with sharp eyes, spotted Liu Mei, who was trying to remain inconspicuous.
"Boss, the chick you won in the bet last time is also here. This time you have a good chance, why not just go for it?"
The fact that Guo Rong remembered this event is rare, as Liu Mei's dejected escape last time was still vivid in his memory.
"Which Liu Mei?"
Lin Tian was unaware of the bet and thought it was a girl Feng Jiabao had flirted with.
"Humph, what does it matter if she's here? I, Feng Jiabao, really don't fancy this woman. Later, let's not bring up what happened last time."
As they were speaking, the girls had all come over.
Bu Mengting felt a bit embarrassed; she had mentioned participating in the outdoor activity today, but her dorm mates insisted on coming along.
"Lin Tian, they said they want to come along too."
"Let's all go, the more the merrier."
With so many people around, Lin Tian of course had to back Bu Mengting up.
The women immediately began praising Bu Mengting profusely for her influence, as if they were basking in her glory.
The school bus arrived, and Feng Jiabao and a few others began to load their stuff onto it.
"Excuse me, what are you doing? I haven't seen you before."
There were only the driver and a spectacled male student on the bus.
When the male student saw Feng Jiabao calling the driver to open the luggage compartment, he stepped in front of them.
"Oh, we've not seen you either. We're here to participate in the school-organized outdoor event. You must be participating too, right? Let me introduce myself, my name is Feng Jiabao. Take care of each other on the road!"
Feng Jiabao was hearty and warm toward people, but the male student was quite aloof.
"I indeed am participating in the outdoor activity, but most of the participants this time are members of the Broadcasting Club. You aren't members of the Broadcasting Club, are you? I have never seen you before."
Broadcasting Club members? Feng Jiabao and his group were a bit confused, but they also knew that Lin Tian was invited by the club president, Shen Mengyi, so they were still confident.
"We certainly aren't members of your Broadcasting Club, but we were invited by your beautiful president, Shen Mengyi."
When it came to being invited by Shen Mengyi, Feng Jiabao's face showed pride.
The male student's expression changed, unable to hide his surprise that they were invited by the president. But the president had clearly said she had invited only one person; could it be she had remembered incorrectly?
"Could you wait a moment? I'll check with the president."
The spectacled man was Li Ming, responsible for organizing this event. The bus was arranged by him, and he was meticulous in his duties.
Now, with so many people wanting to join, the two buses he had arranged wouldn't be enough.
Feng Jiabao sensed something was amiss and went to relay the situation to Lin Tian.
"Oh man, we were definitely a bit wrong here. That day, Shen Mengyi only mentioned inviting me to the activity, never said that it was open to the whole school. It seems like this is a Broadcasting Club event."
"Ah, what do we do now? Mengting, how can your boyfriend be so unreliable?"
The one who spoke up was Liu Mei.
"Liu Mei, have you forgotten you're supposed to be my girlfriend now?"
Feng Jiabao hadn't planned to bring this up, but Liu Mei always loved causing trouble and even had the nerve to call Lin Tian unreliable; he couldn't tolerate it.
"You!"
Seeing it was Feng Jiabao, Liu Mei immediately kept quiet. Indeed, she was at fault last time for sneaking away after losing the bet.
But to actually become Feng Jiabao's girlfriend was absolutely out of the question for her.
She had worked hard to get into university and dressed up every day for what? Wasn't it to find a tall, rich, and handsome boyfriend? While Feng Jiabao was fairly tall, he wasn't handsome at all.
"Fine then, those who don't want to go can leave now. I'm not forcing anyone. Those who want to stay, stay. Rest assured, we're definitely able to participate in the activity today."
Lin Tian was not worried; he believed Shen Mengyi would not let him down.
Soon, Shen Mengyi arrived, accompanied by her sister, Shen Yiran.
"Lin Tian, why did you bring so many people?"
Honestly, Shen Mengyi had not expected Lin Tian to bring people from two dorms; she had only invited him. Perhaps she hadn't made that clear?
"Er, when I told them, they all said they wanted to come."
Lin Tian also felt somewhat embarrassed, but now that everyone was there, he couldn't just participate in the activity alone. He had already decided, either everyone would go together, or no one would go.
Shen Mengyi frowned slightly, but quickly provided a solution.
"Alright then, let's all go. But, you have to agree to one condition."
"What condition?"
"You'll find out when the time comes; get on the bus for now."
Under Shen Mengyi's approval, Lin Tian and his friends boarded the bus.
Li Ming approached Shen Mengyi, saying the bus might not have enough seats.
"No worries, I'll drive and follow along, bringing a few students with me. Aren't you driving as well, Li Ming? You can take a few boys."
"Alright then. By the way, Mengyi, who exactly are these people? It's a Broadcasting Club only event, why did you invite them?"
"They're guests I invited, and they all have unique skills."
This outdoor activity was actually sponsored by a live streaming platform. Reality shows were popular now, and the Broadcasting Club was collaborating with this live streaming platform to create a college survival program.
Though it was labeled a survival adventure, it was really just a gimmick—as the survival skills of modern-day college students were practically non-existent.
After Lin Tian and his group boarded, most of the Broadcasting Club members also arrived.
Overall, there were somewhat more female members in the Broadcasting Club.
Especially on the bus Lin Tian and his dorm mates were on, aside from them, the rest were mostly girls from the Broadcasting Club.
The few male members of the Broadcasting Club went on another bus.
After checking everyone's attendance, Li Ming started the bus.
This time, they were heading to a place called Dog Tail Hill, a three-hour drive from Wu'an City.
Dog Tail Hill was relatively untouched and hadn't been developed into a tourist spot.
Plus, there was a county-level city nearby Dog Tail Hill, so they wouldn't have to worry about cell service.
After all, this time, they were collaborating with a live streaming platform.
"I am a girl, a pretty girl..."
Sitting on a bus can be pretty boring, so the Broadcasting Club's girls started singing spontaneously.
Being part of the Broadcasting Club, they naturally had beautiful voices and sang quite well.
"This trip really wasn't a waste, all these pretty girls. No, we should sing too, to attract the attention of the beauties. Maybe we'll end up not single by the time we return."
The only thing that could make food lover Guo Rong give up food was beautiful women.
"Whenever I sing, the beauties all run away. Let's just not. It's enough to appreciate the girls singing."
Feng Jiabao had the grace to know himself well.
There was no need to mention Lin Tao; the guy stayed still as soon as he got on the bus, observing quietly without moving a muscle.
Lin Tian, on the other hand, was openly showcasing his love with Bu Mengting.
Ah, it looks like I'm the only one left to sing.
"South Mountain South..."
Guo Rong was rather straightforward—if he wanted to sing, he sang out loud.
As soon as he started, his voice overpowered the voices of the girls.
But that was just loudness—his singing skills were truly not that great.
"Fatso, can you shut up, please?"
"It's awful, how can you sing so terribly? Did your family even make you?"
The girls from the Broadcasting Club immediately began to demean and laugh at him. This group of sharp-tongued girls quickly made Guo Rong too bashful to continue singing.
"Hey, fatso, you guys just sit quietly and listen to the music, okay? Don't create noise."
Being despised by the girls completely sabotaged Guo Rong's plan to attract attention.
"What do you mean creating noise? I think you just don't appreciate it. Listen carefully to how we sing."
Seeing Guo Rong's distress, Lin Tian couldn't help but stand up and start singing.
He sang the same song, South Mountain South.
With the Ox Power Technique to control his vocal cords, his voice rang out melodiously and beautifully, just like the original singer.
As soon as he began, everyone on the bus fell silent.
Many even involuntarily started humming along with Lin Tian.
"How come I feel this guy sings even better than the original?"
"Do you think so too? I thought there was something wrong with my ears, but this guy really sings beautifully, and he's so handsome too."
"Ah, what a pity. It seems he already has a girlfriend."
A group of girls whispered among themselves about Lin Tian.
"Mengting, I had no idea your man was a singing god."
Wang Du was Bu Mengting's roommate, and she had also cheered on during the last swimming competition. Although this girl was quite reserved and seldom spoke, she was undeniably beautiful.
"Of course, why else would he be Bu Mengting's man?"
Bu Mengting felt delighted inside.
After the song South Mountain South ended, many people were still left longing for more.
"One more song, one more song!" Your journey continues on My Virtual Library Empire
"Another one, another one!"
The girls began to shout loudly, and Lin Tian moved closer to Bu Mengting.
"Mengting my little wife, what do you think, should I sing another one?"
This immediately made everyone notice Bu Mengting, who giggled and said.
"Sing them another song."
Lin Tian nodded, stood up, and prepared to sing another song.
But suddenly, the bus jerked and then came to a stop.
