Chapter 201 Rainbow Bridge Family
Chapter 201 Rainbow Bridge Family
This year’s oath-taking ceremony at the university was mired in controversy because of Wu Bin.
Even after Wu Bin returned to his dorm, videos of his speech circulated wildly online.
In just under two hours, they had already surged to the top of the trending searches.
Joining Wu Bin’s speech video in trending was Wang Xin’s pledging shout.
For a time, Wu Bin and Wang Xin were simultaneously hailed by netizens as the "Twin Pillars of the Agricultural College!"
Wu Bin was the jade pillar, while Wang Xin was the sand pillar.
At this moment, Wang Xin was sitting on a sofa in an off-campus apartment, looking at the various comments online, his expression as dark as could be.
The family doctor put away his stethoscope with a tense look.
"How is it, doctor, did you find out what disease I have?"
Upon hearing Wang Xin’s question, the family doctor hurriedly said, "Young Master Wang, I have thoroughly checked you out, and you’re in perfect health with no issues at all."
Wang Xin’s eyes turned vicious.
"If there are no issues at all, then why did that happen to me during the pledge?"
The family doctor quickly explained, "The reason that happened was entirely because you were too nervous at the time, plus you shouted too loudly, causing your throat to become dry and itch. That would stimulate the muscles in your throat, leading to muscle spasms and the incident."
"Next time, if something like that happens again, just stop and take a sip of water."
Hearing the family doctor say this, Wang Xin’s face turned even uglier.
"Are you saying that in that situation, I could have stopped to catch my breath and take a drink of water?"
The family doctor was somewhat embarrassed.
Wang Xin’s pledge video had also been watched by him, and he felt the biggest issue was that Wang Xin cared too much about face.
In that situation, he definitely wouldn’t insist on finishing the pledge himself.
Stopping to catch your breath is surely better than dying of embarrassment on the spot, right?
"Get out."
With that single word from Wang Xin, the family doctor felt as if granted a pardon, and hastily left the apartment.
After Wang Xin had departed, the butler Wang Fu came over from a distance.
"Young Master, I’ve found the information you asked me to look into."
Wang Fu handed a document to Wang Xin.
Looking at the information, Wang Xin’s face revealed a satisfied grin.
"What a frail excuse for a college student, this time I’m going to ruin you!"
...
Agricultural College, new dorm.
Wu Bin was lying on the sofa asleep, while Song Bing was scrolling through short videos, saying, "Old Wu, you’ve really blown up this time—half of the short videos are of your speech."
"Look at these comments; these young people are treating you like their idol!"
Xue Qiang added from the side, "That’s pretty normal, think about when we were in high school, weren’t we also suffocated by our family’s pressure?"
"Now someone finally speaks for them at the oath-taking ceremony; of course they’re excited."
Song Bing and Xue Qiang shared a kind of sentiment that comes with experience.
In fact, these kids had been instilled with a wrong idea from an early age.
Their parents told them from childhood that everything would be fine as long as they got into university.
As if the college entrance exam was solely for the purpose of getting into a university.
But in reality, if you get into a second-tier university, it is indeed very relaxed; if you want to slack off, you can slack off, if you want to play, you can play.
But if you get into a top-tier university, especially one like Imperial Capital University.
Then there’s no slacking off at all.
Haven’t you heard that the library at Imperial Capital University never turns its lights off?
At four in the morning, the library at Imperial Capital University is still brightly lit, a symbol of the fierce competition.
So, if students haven’t embraced the idea of lifelong learning from an early age, they often feel deceived upon entering university.
They either work harder or give up on themselves.
Wu Bin’s speech was just to give them a heads-up.
Just as Song Bing and Xue Qiang were evaluating Wu Bin’s speech, their roommate Liang Ren came in from outside.
"Brother Wu, there’s someone downstairs looking for you, says he’s your relative."
Upon hearing Liang Ren say this, Song Bing and Xue Qiang immediately fell silent.
Wu Bin opened his eyes, but his gaze was somewhat cold.
"What relative?"
Before the two realized something was off, he placed the takeout he was holding on the table and said, "He said he came from Rainbow Bridge, didn’t say much else."
Came from Rainbow Bridge?
You must be relatives with Thor then.
After hearing this, Wu Bin didn’t ask any further and just put on his coat and walked out.
It was then that Liang Ren finally sensed something was amiss.
"What’s wrong with Brother Wu? He doesn’t seem very happy."
Song Bing gave Liang Ren a disdainful look.
"Are you stupid? Wu Bin is an orphan, where would he get any relatives from?"
Upon hearing Song Bing say this, Liang Ren came to a realization.
Right!
Wu Bin is an orphan, so where would he get any relatives from?
There must be something going on!
The three hurriedly followed him out.
Down at the dormitory building, a man wearing a brown short-sleeved shirt, holding a cigarette butt in his hand, was pacing in circles.
Two security guards from the agricultural university stood by his side, always watching him.
After all, this was a university campus, not just anyone could come in.
If he hadn’t said he was Wu Bin’s relative, the security office definitely wouldn’t have allowed him to be here.
As the man was idly waiting, Wu Bin approached from a distance.
Upon seeing Wu Bin, the man’s face immediately lit up with a bright smile.
"Little Bin, long time no see, I never would’ve thought you’ve come so far."
The man tried to step forward to hug Wu Bin, but Wu Bin rejected him.
"Keep your distance, don’t come any closer."
Hearing Wu Bin say this, the man chuckled lightly.
"Fine, I won’t come closer."
"Little Bin, I came to see you because the family is in a bit of trouble."
"I saw you made five million from streaming, right?"
"You’re part of our family, after all, we all pitched in when you went to university."
"Now that you’ve done well for yourself while your younger brothers and sisters are living a life of poverty, don’t you think you should give back to your family?"
Upon hearing the man say this, Song Bing and the others immediately widened their eyes in shock.
Sure enough, this man was up to no good, he knew Wu Bin had money, and he was here to ask for it!
Wu Bin said indifferently, "I am an orphan, I don’t have any brothers or sisters, nor do I have a family."
"You can go now, and don’t come looking for me again in the future."
Hearing Wu Bin say this, the man immediately sneered.
"Little Bin, that’s ingratitude talking."
"Back then, you ate our food, drank our water. Without us, would you have had the opportunity to go to Imperial Capital University?"
"What, now that you’re doing well and have become a university student, you’re not planning to care for your family?"
"I have some unflattering information about you in my hands, are you sure you want me to leave?"
Wu Bin’s eyes narrowed, not expecting the man to dare threaten him.
