Chapter 52: Chapter 52: Actually Know Each Other

"Brother!"

At that moment, a crisp voice echoed, and a joyful figure ran out of the hotel and rushed into Lin Yun's arms.

This bright figure was naturally Xia Qingqing.

She hadn't slept and was waiting for Lin Yun the whole time.

"Why haven't you slept so late?" Lin Yun rubbed Xia Qingqing's head, smiling.

"I slept for two hours. I'm not really sleepy!" Xia Qingqing mischievously stuck out her tongue.

"Xia Qingqing?"

At this moment, Lin Mengmeng looked at Xia Qingqing in surprise.

From her tone, it seemed that she recognized Xia Qingqing.

"Lin Mengmeng?"

Xia Qingqing looked up to see Lin Mengmeng, and was surprised as well.

"You know each other?" Lin Yun was also surprised.

"Lin Yun, is your girlfriend Xia Qingqing? What a coincidence. Xia Qingqing and I are in the same class." Lin Mengmeng chuckled as she spoke.

Both of them were goddesses of Shen University in the same class. How could they not know each other?

However, Xia Qingqing was usually busy working part-time and helping Lin Yun, while Lin Mengmeng was occupied with martial arts training and managing people at Gold Sword Security Company. They didn't live in the university dormitory, so they didn't interact much.

But now that they had met, they immediately felt a sense of familiarity and camaraderie.

It felt like meeting someone from your hometown in a foreign land.

"Xia Qingqing, hmm, calling you that seems too distant. I'll call you Qingqing, and you can call me Mengmeng." Lin Mengmeng looked at Xia Qingqing and smiled.

"Okay, Mengmeng." Xia Qingqing blinked in response.

"Unexpectedly, Lin Yun is your boyfriend, Qingqing. You've kept it hidden so well. If the boys at school knew their goddess Qingqing had a boyfriend, they would be heartbroken..." Lin Mengmeng teased.

"I didn't hide it...we just confirmed our relationship yesterday..." Xia Qingqing blushed as she spoke.

"Oh... so you confirmed the relationship yesterday..." Ling Mengmeng drawled, chuckling.

"Hey, Mengmeng, why are you so naughty..." Xia Qingqing walked over and started tickling Lin Mengmeng's sides, blushing profusely.

She often played in this way with Zhang Yaoyao.

Given Lin Mengmeng's skills, if she wanted to avoid Xia Qingqing, she could have easily done so. However, she didn't dodge; she let Qingqing tickle her and didn't use her full strength. They quickly started playing like old friends.

The way girls quickly form friendships is odd, especially girls with outgoing personalities. They might become friends after just a few words, trusting each other fully.

At this moment, Xia Qingqing and Lin Mengmeng experienced this feeling.

Of course, it could also be because they had been classmates for a while. Despite not interacting much before, they were both the goddesses of Shen University and were in the same class, so it was natural that they had noticed each other and knew a bit about each other.

Both girls had good reputations, and they both approved of each other's character. That's why they were able to become friends so quickly.

This was also why Xia Qingqing was not prone to jealousy, and trusted Lin Yun immensely.

Thus, seeing Lin Yun with the very beautiful Lin Mengmeng at such a late hour, she didn't feel jealous or harbour any negative thoughts.

Otherwise, they might also have become friends quickly.

However, the kind of friendship they might have formed would not have the same meaning as it did now.

"I can't believe that Zhang Tianyu is so despicable. I'll teach him a lesson when we get back to school tomorrow..." As they talked about Zhang Tianyu, Lin Mengmeng looked furious. She clenched her small fists, her righteous aura very evident.

"Hehe, alright..." Xia Qingqing laughed happily. Clearly, she didn't take Lin Mengmeng's words seriously, or she didn't think that Lin Mengmeng could do anything to Zhang Tianyu. However, the fact that her new good friend was willing to stand up for her made her very happy.

"Lin Yun, you're lucky. I, the big bodyguard, will protect Qingqing for free from now on." Lin Mengmeng turned around to look at Lin Yun, rolled her eyes, and said.

"Thanks a lot for that." Lin Yun laughed, feeling very happy.

He was quite aware of Lin Mengmeng's abilities, which surpassed many A-list bodyguards. Most importantly, since Lin Mengmeng and Xia Qingqing were classmates, it would be more convenient for her to protect Qingqing. It couldn't get any better than having Lin Mengmeng willing to look out for Qingqing.

Xia Qingqing giggled but didn't say anything. She thought Lin Mengmeng was just joking.

Indeed, she knew that Lin Mengmeng worked in a security company, but she never expected that someone who looked as frail as Lin Mengmeng would be such a formidable expert. Lin Mengmeng's appearance was very deceitful.

"By the way, Miss Lin, do you know what Zhang Tianyu's family does and if they have any influence?" At that moment, it seemed something had occurred to Lin Yun and he asked.

Working for Gold Sword Security Company, Lin Mengmeng had collaboration with many large companies and influential parties. From his perspective, it was highly probable that she knew about Zhang Tianyu's family situation.

"Lin Yun, don't you know that calling someone 'Miss' is impolite?" Lin Mengmeng rolled her eyes at Lin Yun again.

Rolling her eyes was, for Lin Mengmeng, a rather personal action.

If the other person was not very close, she usually wouldn't do it.

Lin Yun and she had only known each other for a couple of hours, yet she had already rolled her eyes at him several times. It wasn't just due to meeting Qingqing; she possibly hadn't even realized it herself.

Probably, she felt a sense of comradeship with Lin Yun as they were about the same age, and their capabilities were quite comparable. Added to that, Lin Yun had a good personality, which had inadvertently drawn a slight fondness from her.

This fondness was not the romantic kind, but more of a friendly one.

Just as Lin Yun spoke to her very casually, she was very relaxed with Lin Yun too.

"Just like Qingqing and Little White, you can call me Mengmeng too!" After a pause, Lin Mengmeng said.

"That was my mistake..." Lin Yun laughed.

Actually, calling her 'Miss' during a business deal wasn't a problem, but since Lin Mengmeng was particular about it, he didn't argue. He wasn't going to argue with a woman about trivial matters. Since it wasn't a big issue, he admitted his mistake directly.

"Zhang Tianyu's family situation..." Lin Mengmeng thought for a moment: "Seems like they own an electronics manufacturing factory, a pretty big one..."

"An electronics manufacturing factory?" Lin Yun was surprised. Had he encountered a rival firm?

"Hmm, you might have heard of it - Tianyu Group. They supposedly work with many big brands. I'm not very clear about the details, but I can replace out for you." Lin Mengmeng nodded.

"Tianyu Group?" Lin Yun raised an eyebrow.

He had been in the electronics production industry for the past five years, so of course he knew about this large electronics manufacturing factory. As Lin Mengmeng had said, the electronics factory was quite large and well-known. Who would have thought that this Tianyu Group was owned by Zhang Tianyu's family?

"Then could you help me replace out? I'll treat you to a meal when I get the chance." Lin Yun nodded slightly.

"Are you inviting me for a meal? Ah! Are you not afraid that Qingqing will get jealous?" Lin Mengmeng squawked.

"At that time, Qingqing and I will invite you together." Lin Yun smiled and replied.
