Chapter 2608: Chapter 1184: Final Chapter: Two!_3

"Definitely!"

Lin Baici put away the invitation. "You already knew I was actually studying at Haijing Polytechnic?"

"Yes!"

Shen Xin didn’t hide it, and there was something in her tone. "And I know even more about you!"

"Once I’m done with the exhibition, let’s sit down and talk?"

Lin Baici had already grown into a colossal presence. Shen Xin had reached the point where she had no choice but to make contact with him; otherwise Haijing would no longer have room for her.

"Okay!"

"Bye-bye!"

Shen Xin drifted away gracefully.

"Such great temperament!"

Xia Hongyao envied Shen Xin’s slim figure. "People in the arts really are on another level!"

Lin Baici watched Shen Xin’s retreating back, lost in thought.

"Come on, let’s go take photos!"

Xia Hongyao had specially brought her DSLR today to be Lin Baici’s exclusive photographer, and she also planned to borrow a set of bachelor’s robes to wear and take a few photos herself.

Lin Baici walked into the campus.

Several years had passed, but almost nothing had changed, except that some areas had been re-landscaped.

The young people were brimming with hormones and full of curiosity about the opposite sex.

When Xia Hongyao walked by, the rate of heads turning exploded. Unsurprisingly, it was all Xiong Das sneaking glances at her.

Suddenly, Lin Baici stopped walking.

"What is it?"

Xia Hongyao followed his line of sight and saw a girl in jeans standing not far ahead.

The girl saw Lin Baici as well and walked straight over.

"Lin Baici, long time no see!"

Zhu Qiunan’s tone sounded calm, but the look in her eyes as she gazed at Lin Baici carried a bit of emotion and excitement.

"Hello, Student Zhu."

Lin Baici smiled.

But Zhu Qiunan’s expression dimmed, because that form of address from Lin Baici meant he was keeping her at arm’s length.

Not wanting the atmosphere to turn awkward, Lin Baici took the initiative. "Finished taking your graduation photos?"

"You’re probably going to test for a PhD, right?"

After all, she was the department’s number one beauty-genius.

"No, I found a job!"

Zhu Qiunan gave a faint smile.

"Congrats, congrats!"

Lin Baici offered a polite line. "With how exceptional you are, your job must be amazing."

Hearing this, Xia Hongyao wanted to say something but held back.

"Yup, I joined the Haijing Security Bureau!"

"What?"

The polite smile on Lin Baici’s face froze into astonishment; he thought he’d misheard.

"I joined the Haijing Security Bureau. From now on, we’ll be colleagues!"

Zhu Qiunan reached her hand out to him. "Let me say this in advance, Senior Lin, I’ll be in your care from now on!"

"Director Xia!"

Zhu Qiunan then nodded a greeting to Xia Hongyao. "I’ve got other things to do, so I won’t bother you two."

Zhu Qiunan left.

"What’s going on?"

Lin Baici looked at Xia Hongyao. "How did she end up becoming a God Hunter?"

"Probably because she’s really smart?"

Xia Hongyao analyzed.

"Weren’t you the one who recruited her?"

As the director, personnel hires definitely had to pass under Xia Hongyao’s eyes for approval and signature.

"Yeah, me."

Xia Hongyao scratched her head. "She’s very... uh... she’s extremely smart, like a great detective type. And her grades are really good. I felt that letting talent like that slip away would be a waste!"

Lin Baici thought about it and agreed. Being an employee of the Security Bureau was indeed a good job.

Besides, Zhu Qiunan probably hadn’t joined the Security Bureau because of him!

He couldn’t go getting full of himself!

What he didn’t know was that after he walked off, Zhu Qiunan circled back from the corner, stared at his back, and clenched her fists.

The scholarly top student had taken "conquering Lin Baici" as a life challenge!

...

Haijing Polytechnic, in front of the library statue.

This statue of young people reading was the iconic building of Haijing Polytechnic, so there were lots of graduates lining up to take photos here.

When Lin Baici arrived, it was packed wall-to-wall with people, all queuing.

"Old White, over here!"

Qian Jiahui spotted Lin Baici at a glance.

"Jiahui, I heard you’ve spent the last year or so busy at home taking care of the kid. Did you even get your diploma?"

Lin Baici teased.

A regular student who dropped out would end up with nothing, but someone like Qian Jiahui could pull strings for anything.

If he wanted to, even taking the grad school exam or going for a PhD would be no problem.

Of course, that diploma meant absolutely nothing to a man with assets in the hundreds of millions like Qian Jiahui.

"Had to!"

Qian Jiahui slung an arm around his shoulders. "It’s really not easy to see you. How about we get together tonight?"

"Isn’t the whole class having lunch together at noon?"

Lin Baici already had plans for the evening.

"I mean just a few close friends, a smaller thing."

Qian Jiahui sighed. "Once we graduate, it’ll be even harder to see each other."

"Sure."

No sooner had the words left Lin Baici’s mouth than everyone swarmed over.

He was their life-saving benefactor, after all.

Change into gowns, line up, take photos...

One photo after another froze the sunshine, the grass, and everyone’s youth in time.

They spent an hour taking photos and still weren’t quite satisfied, especially Tao Nai, who was more sentimental. Maybe because she thought of the impending farewell, she started crying, and soon all the girls’ eyes were red.

While Lin Baici was discussing with everyone where to eat lunch, he heard a stir in the crowd.

"Look, it’s Senior Mi Qin!"

"That’s Mi Qin? She’s so pretty!"

"I heard she started her own company and it’s huge!"

Everyone chirped excitedly, their eyes locked onto Mi Qin.

Wearing a beige business suit, Mi Qin walked over briskly, her high heels tapping crisply on the concrete floor—click, click.

It was like she was tapping directly on the hearts of quite a few boys.

"Lin Junior, Principal Tang invited me to campus today to give a talk, and I happened to hear you were taking graduation photos, so I came over to see you!"

With her short hair, Mi Qin looked sharp and capable. "Got a minute to talk?"

"Go, hurry up!"

Fang Mingyuan gave Lin Baici a shove.

The two of them walked over to the flowerbed at the side.
