It was the height of rush hour, and it took the group nearly forty minutes to reach Mingri Restaurant by taxi. Fortunately, they weren't late; it was still ten minutes before 6:30.
Zhou Yitong and his girlfriend had taken the subway and actually arrived first, waiting for the others at the entrance. Xu Lili was arm-in-arm with Zhou, and after a brief exchange of greetings—everyone was already fairly familiar—they headed inside.
Although Xu Lili was the "campus belle" of the Mechanical Engineering College, her looks weren't quite as stunning as one might imagine. Lin Yi estimated that, based on the System's grading criteria, she was about a 7.8. While that score was quite impressive among ordinary girls, it fell a bit short for a title as grand as "campus belle." The attractiveness levels of the campus belles from the Civil Engineering and Mechanical Engineering colleges had always been a mystery; they could produce national-level megastars, or they could produce a belle who barely scraped a 7.5.
