Chapter 27: Chapter 27 Ranking
Chen Zhien dragged Li Liang away, while Su Yang took a short rest. Around four in the afternoon, he also set off for Peking University Campus.
As soon as he arrived at the square in front of Six Degrees Bar, Su Yang witnessed a spectacular scene. There were hundreds of people surrounding the entrance of the bar, noisily waiting for it to open. Some even brought small stools to sit on while they waited for the doors to open, reminiscent of the mad rush to buy train tickets during the Spring Festival travel season.
A few waitstaff stood at the door, trying feebly to maintain order, but it was futile. Six Degrees had never encountered such a scene before. In fact, none of the venues on the entire Peking University Campus had. The waitstaff simply lacked experience in handling such situations.
In the crowd, Li Liang was also there, getting jostled about until he was barely able to stand. Clutched in his hand was a piece of paper; upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a queue ticket for entering the bar later. However, judging by the number Li Liang held, the likelihood of getting into the bar today seemed very slim.
Li Liang finally squeezed out of the crowd and walked over to a spot not too far away, where Chen Zhien stood, laughing and chatting with a group of girls.
The girls were dressed rather flamboyantly, the prettiest among them being the leader. Her looks scored a seven out of ten, and her makeup was quite enchanting, which gave her an astonishingly stunning appearance. She wore a black micro-skirt paired with a white low-cut blouse, revealing a deep cleavage that caught everyone’s attention.
This girl was Chen Zhien’s classmate, named Wu Lili, and considered the beauty of their department. Chen Zhien was deeply smitten with Wu Lili and had pursued her for over a year, but without any progress. Today, it seemed that he had managed to invite Wu Lili out by using the event at Six Degrees Bar as a pretext, which explained his elation.
However, Wu Lili and her friends did not look pleased. Since the early arrivals had already taken seats at the entrance of the bar, they had to stand there, waiting for Li Liang to queue up. The most vexing part was that the chance of getting inside today, given the current situation, seemed very slim, which was quite a downer!
"Here, here, number three hundred and six..." Li Liang, holding the ticket, excitedly announced, "Let’s wait, it won’t be long."
"Number three hundred and six!" A girl beside Wu Lili immediately exclaimed dramatically, "With that number, we probably won’t get in even if we wait until tomorrow. Chen Zhien, you invite our beautiful Lili out for drinks, and this is your plan? You should have told us earlier. We could’ve come tomorrow instead of wasting our time here today!"
Chen Zhien’s face was the epitome of awkwardness, he had pursued Wu Lili for more than a year, and now that he’d finally managed to invite her out using Six Degrees Bar as an excuse, they couldn’t even get through the door. This basically meant the end of that endeavor.
"Lili, I’ll figure something out, I’ll do my best," Chen Zhien quickly replied.
Wu Lili said nothing, but her look was clearly full of annoyance toward Chen Zhien.
Chen Zhien ran into the crowd, asking several people in hopes of buying their spots, but was turned down. Wu Lili’s expression grew even uglier, and her friends kept whispering remarks about Chen Zhien.
Chen Zhien, sweating profusely with anxiety, found himself completely out of options. At that moment, a black BMW roared up and parked right in front of Wu Lili. The door opened, and a slick young man in his twenties stepped out.
"Lili!" the young man called out.
Upon seeing the young man, Wu Lili’s face brightened instantly, and she greeted him with a coquettish laugh, "Young Master Lin."
Chen Zhien’s face turned ashen. Young Master Lin was a well-known second-generation rich kid at their school. He had a girlfriend, but he was flirty with many girls, Wu Lili being one of them. What infuriated him was that these girls, despite knowing Young Master Lin had a girlfriend, were still willing to engage in flirtations with him. And here was Wu Lili, eyes practically shining at Young Master Lin.
"What are you doing here?" Young Master Lin walked up to Wu Lili, barely giving Chen Zhien and Li Liang a sideway glance as if they were beneath his notice.
"We’re lining up to get into Liudu Bar," Wu Lili replied with a smile.
"You have to wait in line to get into Six Degrees Bar?" Young Master Lin snorted with laughter and said, "Just tell me if you want to get in, why queue up here? It’s such a hot day, what if you get your skin sunburned? That would be heartbreaking!"
Wu Lili immediately giggled coquettishly, flirting back and forth with Young Master Lin, completely ignoring the presence of Chen Zhien and Li Liang next to her.
"Hey!" Li Liang couldn’t bear it any longer and said in a deep voice, "Kid, what are you doing?"
Young Master Lin glanced at Li Liang, then looked at Wu Lili, "Your friend?"
"I don’t know him!" Wu Lili replied crisply.
"Li Liang, Chen Zhien’s distant cousin, is said to be quite capable around Peking University Campus. He’s supposed to get us into Liudu Bar tonight!" Suddenly, one of Wu Lili’s girlfriends blurted out, "Look, we’ve got number three hundred and six, maybe we’ll get in by tomorrow..."
The girls burst into laughter at once, and Li Liang’s face turned crimson with embarrassment.
"Around Peking University Campus, the only one truly considered capable is Fifth Master Nie. But, when I’ve been drinking with Fifth Master Nie, I haven’t heard him mention any Li Liang!" Young Master Lin sized up Li Liang and said, "Are you sure you’re talking about Peking University Campus and not Beicun?"
The girls laughed uproariously again, and Li Liang trembled with anger, yet he didn’t dare to speak a word. Fifth Master Nie was the absolute top figure around Peking University Campus, an idol-like figure to him. How could he dare to provoke someone who drank with Fifth Master Nie?
"Alright, let’s not stoop to the level of these riffraff," Young Master Lin said to Wu Lili with a smile. "Since Lili is here, drinks are on me tonight. Let’s go, I’ll arrange it for you!"
The group of girls immediately cheered, and Wu Lili’s face flushed with pride as her vanity was greatly satisfied. As they walked, she clung to Young Master Lin’s arm, affectionate as if they were a couple.
Chen Zhien trembled with anger, but in the end, he couldn’t utter a single word. Compared to Young Master Lin, he was utterly defeated!
"Damn it, this is so infuriating!" Li Liang waved the ticket in his hand furiously, "I put so much effort into queuing for this number, why does he look down on me? I’m definitely going in today to show them!"
"Dude, stop deluding yourself," a college student next to him mocked, "number three hundred and six, you won’t get in even the day after tomorrow, I suggest you give up!"
"What?" Li Liang’s eyes widened, "Really? But the bar is open for several hours tonight."
The college student curled his lip, "The people who get in don’t come out, just think about it. The bar’s capacity can probably handle seventy or eighty numbers at a time, and it would be good if they got through a hundred numbers today. With your three hundred, come back the day after tomorrow!"
"Damn!" Li Liang cursed and turned to Chen Zhien, "What now?"
"What can we do now!" Chen Zhien sat down on the ground angrily and said irritably, "Wait for an ’Immortal’ to come rescue us!"
"Immortal?" Li Liang was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized that Chen Zhien was speaking out of frustration. Indeed, there was no other option at this point.
At that moment, Li Liang suddenly saw Su Yang slowly approaching them from a short distance away. His eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "Su Yang, it’s Su Yang."
