The two of them arrived at a Korean restaurant. Li Xiaolu suddenly remembered something. She asked Zhang Lin, "By the way, do you know a foreign student named Jijun?"
Zhang Lin looked at her, "Jijun?"
Li Xiaolu nodded, "Yeah."
Zhang Lin continued to look at her, "How do you know this person?"
Li Xiaolu replied, "I was just asking casually."
Zhang Lin said, "This person is quite famous."
Li Xiaolu was a bit surprised, "Famous?"
Zhang Lin nodded, "Mm-hmm."
Li Xiaolu looked at her, "Why?"
Zhang Lin explained, "Because he is the only son of the Bell Tolls and Feast family."
Li Xiaolu was stunned, "Bell Tolls and Feast?"
Zhang Lin nodded again, "Yes."
Li Xiaolu was somewhat astonished, "Is that the one..."
Zhang Lin confirmed, "That's the Bell Tolls and Feast."
Li Xiaolu looked at Zhang Lin in disbelief, "He... he is the only son of Bell Tolls and Feast?"
Zhang Lin nodded, "Mm-hmm."
Li Xiaolu felt a shock. She didn't expect Jijun's family background to be so impressive. She had only thought he was mysterious before but didn't realize his background was so powerful.
Zhang Lin looked at Li Xiaolu, "Do you know him?"
Li Xiaolu shook her head, "No."
Zhang Lin asked her, "Then why are you inquiring about him?"
Li Xiaolu felt a bit embarrassed, "I was just... asking casually."
Zhang Lin warned her, "You better not develop any inappropriate thoughts about him."
Li Xiaolu was puzzled, "Why?"
Zhang Lin replied, "He is notoriously a playboy."
Li Xiaolu was surprised again, "A playboy?"
Zhang Lin nodded, "Yes."
Li Xiaolu looked at Zhang Lin and asked, "How do you know?"
Zhang Lin said, "I've been in the Chinese community for so long; of course I know."
Li Xiaolu was a bit curious, "So what has he done?"
Zhang Lin thought for a moment, "I’m not sure about the specifics, but he’s quite the flirt."
Li Xiaolu was somewhat surprised, "Flirt?"
Zhang Lin nodded, "Yeah."
Li Xiaolu looked at Zhang Lin, "Does he have a girlfriend?"
Zhang Lin shook her head, "I haven't heard anything about it."
Li Xiaolu looked at her, "Then he..."
Zhang Lin looked back at her, "He's very handsome and has many admirers."
Li Xiaolu couldn't help but laugh, "I know that."
Zhang Lin looked at her, "You do?"
Li Xiaolu nodded, "Yeah."
Zhang Lin looked at her, "Have you met him?"
Li Xiaolu shook her head, "No, I haven't."
Zhang Lin looked at her, "Then who told you?"
Li Xiaolu felt a bit embarrassed, "I just... guessed."
Zhang Lin looked at her, "You guessed?"
Li Xiaolu nodded, "Yeah."
Zhang Lin looked at her, "How much do you know about him?"
Li Xiaolu shook her head, "I don’t know anything about him."
Zhang Lin looked at her, "Do you like him?"
Li Xiaolu was taken aback. She didn't expect Zhang Lin to ask that question. She looked at Zhang Lin, "Why... why do you ask that?"
Zhang Lin looked at her, "Do you like him?"
Li Xiaolu felt flustered, "I... I don't."
Zhang Lin looked at her, "Then why are you asking about him?"
Li Xiaolu felt guilty, "I... I was just asking casually."
Zhang Lin looked at her seriously, "You really don’t like him?"
Li Xiaolu shook her head firmly, "I don’t like him."
Zhang Lin looked at her and said, "Remember my words."
Li Xiaolu was curious, "What words?"
Zhang Lin said, "Make sure not to fall for him."
Li Xiaolu looked at Zhang Lin, "Why?"
Zhang Lin looked at her, "Because he is not worth it."
Li Xiaolu was somewhat surprised, "Not worth it?"
Zhang Lin nodded, "Yeah."
Li Xiaolu looked at Zhang Lin, "Why do you say that?"
Zhang Lin replied, "He is the kind of person who won't settle down for any woman."
Li Xiaolu was taken aback, "Settle down?"
Zhang Lin nodded again, "Yeah."
Li Xiaolu looked at Zhang Lin, "You seem to know him well."
Zhang Lin smiled slightly, "I just heard about him."
Li Xiaolu looked at her, "Heard what?"
Zhang Lin said, "I heard he is a playboy."
Li Xiaolu was stunned.
She didn't expect that Jijun appeared this way in others' eyes.
She looked at Zhang Lin, "Is everything you said true?"
Zhang Lin nodded, "Yeah."
Li Xiaolu gazed at Zhang Lin, feeling a complex emotion inside.
She never thought that Jijun would be seen as so unworthy by others.
However, her impression of him was completely different.
She found him polite and cultured, with elegant speech—nothing like what Zhang Lin described.
Yet, she didn't really know Jijun and had no idea what kind of person he truly was.
Perhaps she had been deceived by his appearance.
She thought it might be better to keep her distance from him in the future.
