Chapter 11: Chapter 11 Invitation
The girl was wearing a light gray coat that was clearly one of those expensive designer pieces.
And below, she paired black leggings with a black pencil skirt and stepped into a pair of black boots too. Dressed like this, she exuded youthfulness, yet it couldn't hide her breathtaking beauty.
Moreover, Lin Tian felt a vague sense of familiarity with the girl in front of him; she seemed to be one of the beauties from the Meiling High School beauty rankings, though he couldn't immediately recall her exact name or rank.
"Sorry, I was in such a hurry earlier that I knocked your things to the ground…"
As a school beauty, the girl was very pretty, and after taking a glance, Lin Tian silently praised her in his mind before speaking up.
He also went over to help pick up the items.
"I… I'm fine! You don't need to help…"
Xu Tangge hurriedly shook her head, hurriedly gathering her things off the ground and putting them into the leather bag she was carrying.
Tang Qianqian, you little rascal, it's all your fault! You wanted to see this stuff, insisting I deliver it?
Now look what's happened, someone bumped into me!
You're going to get it when I get back!
Stealing a glance at Lin Tian, Xu Tangge felt like crying without tears as she thought of her best friend, biting her silver teeth in frustration.
However, Lin Tian didn't just stand there idly; he had already begun to help.
Then, he realized the girl's belongings scattered all over the ground were actually a bunch of manga comics!
And most of them were martial arts action comics!
By his estimate, there must have been at least dozens of them, all packed into one large bag!
Do girls even like this kind of stuff?
And this beauty in front of him was definitely Divine Level school beauty material!
"Do you like these?"
Lin Tian said while helping to pick up the comics.
"No… not really! I don't read them, they're for my kid… whoops, I mean my niece. No, I meant my nephew. He loves them!"
Xu Tangge became flustered, her words coming out all jumbled.
Mainly because she really didn't like reading these comics, and being seen with them made her seem like a child!
"Sorry for knocking your stuff over!"
Lin Tian touched his nose awkwardly, "You should get going now that everything's picked up! This place is too secluded, hurry home! And remember not to walk this way next time, what if you run into bad people…"
"Thank you!"
Xu Tangge's face flushed as she hoisted the leather bag, saying, "Also, pretend you didn't see anything about today!"
Ahhh!
If anyone familiar saw me holding all these comics, my image would be totally ruined!
Privately, Xu Tangge couldn't help feeling helpless.
"Don't worry, nothing happened today!"
Lin Tian smiled openly, gave a wink to the beauty, and then turned to head toward the other end of the alley.
Gurgle~~
Only, as Lin Tian took a few steps, his stomach suddenly growled loudly in the quiet alley.
So hungry!
Lin Tian touched his stomach, internally sighing that dealing with all that felt like a battle, and now he was incredibly hungry.
"Um, are you hungry? Since you helped me pick my stuff up earlier, let me treat you to some late-night food!"
Xu Tangge glanced at Lin Tian's retreating figure, her fine brows knitting slightly. After a moment's hesitation, she spoke up.
"If a beauty extends an invitation, of course, I won't refuse! And conveniently, there's a barbecue stall just past this alley!"
Being invited for a meal by such a gorgeous girl, Lin Tian promptly agreed.
The two walked out of the alley, quickly spotting a street barbecue stall across the road. For a long while, Xu Tangge noticed the young man was still standing there, seemingly not planning to leave immediately, and she couldn't help feeling anxious.
