Zombie Bodyguard

Chapter 1724 - 1721: Arriving as Promised

Lin Tian walked up to him and gave him a hard slap. The guy finally snapped back to reality. Lin Tian was quite helpless: "You don’t have to go that far, you almost stretched your neck like a giraffe, didn’t even notice me standing right in front of you."

Ning Wenbin wasn’t embarrassed at all, instead, he said confidently, "I am about to meet my dream goddess, isn’t it normal to be a bit nervous?"

"Alright, you’re hopelessly smitten, I’m just going to ignore it, is that okay?" Lin Tian almost raised his middle finger at him. This guy is beyond help, what’s so great about Wu Xiuluo? Why can’t I see it?

Ning Wenbin said seriously, "Brother Lin Tian, you’re right. I’m poisoned by Xiuluo, the poison of love, and she’s the only antidote."

"Are you serious?" Lin Tian frowned slightly. He suddenly had a strange thought: why isn’t Ning Wenbin like other rich second-generation kids, changing girlfriends every few days and being a playboy? Maybe it would be better for this rich kid.

"Serious." Ning Wenbin nodded very confidently, then turned to look at Xiao Manxuan, and said sincerely, "Mr. Xiao, thank you. No matter the outcome this time, I am grateful."

"Come on, save those serious words for Wu Xiuluo later. For now, getting the private room settled is the big deal." Lin Tian gestured for him to go inside, not to stand at the door like a lovestruck fool.

"Don’t worry, I’ve already reserved the room." Ning Wenbin finally returned to normal, turned around, and went inside first. Everyone said this guy was well-prepared, and indeed he was exceptionally enthusiastic.

Fengye Restaurant is a Western-style restaurant, and its private rooms are quite unique too, using screens to create separate spaces. The screens are painted with pale red maple leaves, looking elegant under the lights, creating a romantic atmosphere.

So, most people entering and exiting Fengye Restaurant are couples, making Lin Tian’s trio seem a bit out of place.

However, Lin Tian and his friends are quite famous, and their appearance attracted a lot of attention from couples. Every couple passing by paused for a few seconds to watch them.

"Mr. Ning, you’re here. The private room is ready for you. Would you like to be seated now?" A waitress in a white shirt and black skirt walked over with a sweet smile, greeted them very politely.

"We’ll head in first. When Wu Xiuluo arrives, please let her know the location of the private room. Once everyone’s here, we’ll order. Thank you." Ning Wenbin replied very gentlemanly.

"Sure, call me if you need anything." The waitress nodded politely and turned away.

Lin Tian studied Ning Wenbin and laughed, "Even the waiters recognize you here, are you a regular?"

"How could that be?" Ning Wenbin immediately denied it, "Fearing there might not be an available private room, I came to make a reservation as soon as I received your message, and this was the waitress who attended to me."

"Of course, even if not for that, the waiters here would recognize me. Actually, they know you two as well. You saw how that pretty waitress was looking at you, Lin Tian, her eyes were practically glowing..." Ning Wenbin started off normal, but then descended into his usual unfiltered self.

He suddenly remembered that Lin Tian had Mr. Xiao standing next to him, quickly zipped his mouth, glanced at Xiao Manxuan, and noticed Xiao Manxuan standing close to Lin Tian with a sweet smile on her face, showing no signs of jealousy.

Ning Wenbin couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, what a good girl, so gentle and with such a good temper.

But Lin Tian felt like giving this guy a beating. The little girl’s hand had secretly pinched his waist, exerting a level of force indicating Second Miss was quite angry.

If Lin Tian were an ordinary person, he’d probably have a bruise by now. Second Miss can be really fierce when she gets angry, otherwise, why else would she unleash the dogs without hesitation back then?

"Why do the waiters recognize us?" Lin Tian deliberately changed the topic, and sure enough, the little girl let go. Perhaps she realized she’d pinched too hard, and gently rubbed the spot with her soft hand, making Lin Tian feel utterly comfortable.

"You and I are both well-known at school. Unless someone never visits the school forum, they’d know about the major events happening around campus. There are photos on there, so it’s no surprise they recognize us. Plus, someone as outstandingly handsome and beautiful as us would be recognized instantly by others."

Ning Wenbin continued narcissistically, while Lin Tian and Xiao Manxuan hurried into the private room, signaling they didn’t know this vain guy.

Ning Wenbin didn’t feel anything wrong either, happily entering the private room. The room wasn’t very large but was cleverly designed so people inside wouldn’t feel cramped but rather like they were in their own private world, fitting the dating atmosphere.

A rectangular table was in the middle, surrounded by exquisite chairs with wide backs, making them comfortable to lean against. Lin Tian even suspected they could seat two people, which is probably why they’re designed for couples.

Lin Tian set the guqin case down, then moved the extra chairs aside, leaving just four. Ning Wenbin watched curiously and asked, "Why are you moving those chairs?"

Lin Tian glanced at him with disdain, "No wonder you still haven’t caught Wu Xiuluo, you’re really clueless. Move the extra chairs away, then put two side by side, so she has to sit close to you. It’s the most direct and effective way to shorten the distance between you and the goddess, get it?"

Ning Wenbin’s eyes lit up, then he and Lin Tian exchanged knowing smiles. Xiao Manxuan watched the two grown men acting like children, feeling both helpless and amused.

But such little tricks are harmless, of course, as long as the woman likes the man. Otherwise, it would backfire.

The three of them didn’t wait long before a graceful figure drifted in. Wu Xiuluo arrived on time, and seeing her, all three of their eyes lit up. Tonight, Wu Xiuluo wore a plain long dress that nearly covered her ankles, a rather conservative outfit, but it couldn’t conceal her beauty and grace.

A plain colored silk belt around her waist perfectly outlined her slender long waist, her face unadorned yet glowing like the first light of dawn reflecting on snow. Her hair hung down simply without any adornments, neither did she wear any jewelry, exuding elegance from head to toe.

Yet such attire looked perfectly natural on Wu Xiuluo, as if her temperament was meant for this style. However, in Lin Tian’s eyes, her outfit, though special, made her aura seem even colder and more unapproachable.

As soon as Wu Xiuluo entered, she noticed only one empty chair next to Ning Wenbin. She glanced at the two large men in the room, her intelligent eyes seeming to see through their little scheme.

But her gaze didn’t linger long. The next moment, she shifted her focus to the case in the corner, where the guqin was stored, the main reason behind this "date".

Her gaze didn’t linger on the case for long either, and she naturally sat down in the empty chair beside Ning Wenbin. This made Ning Wenbin overjoyed, but Lin Tian frowned slightly.
