"We're just friends for now."Chai Qingmiao was actually considering getting close to Zhou Hangyu because he was a local from Hu Hai.
After starting college and seeing the outside world, one inevitably begins to consider practical factors.
Zhou Hangyu's conditions were quite good; just being a local from Hu Hai and owning a house put his worth at several millions.
Besides, Zhou Hangyu was just a bit short, but other than that, all his conditions were not bad.
She had thought about getting to know him, but upon seeing Xu Musen today, she questioned if her standards were possibly too low?
"Do you think that guy named Xu Musen has a girlfriend?" she suddenly asked.
Hu Wenjing looked at her, "You're not thinking of switching targets already, are you?" S~eaʀᴄh the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
"I'm not even in a relationship with him, okay?" Chai Qingmiao pouted.
"But I feel he must be popular with girls and he seemed quite close to that girl, didn't he?"
What Hu Wenjing referred to, of course, was Zhu Yulan.
As a rich lady who drove a Ferrari around campus every day, even though her name was not well-known, her presence was noted by all.
Just the thought of Zhu Yulan's background made them feel somewhat disheartened, and she was definitely of campus belle caliber at Fudan University.
It's just that not many dared to pursue her.
"I think the two of them are just ordinary friends, and it's not set in stone who is with whom. Besides, everyone has different strengths," she said while straightening up her body. Chai Qingmiao knew she was not as pretty as Zhu Yulan, but clearly, she had the upper hand when it came to her figure.
...
At the dining table, the girl with the round face was named Yang Xiaotao, clearly a little foodie, with a plate piled high.
She ate with great delight.
Zhu Yulan said to her: "You should eat less; your aunt asked me to make sure you are losing weight."
Yang Xiaotao pouted her round face, "Just an extra meal occasionally, I have no hopes of being as slim as you, sister Zhu."
Once they left the company, they referred to each other as sisters.
But hearing the word "slim," Zhu Yulan couldn't help but glance at Yang Xiaotao's chest, then looked down at her own...
Damn, she's a whole half-year younger than me, but her chest is half a size bigger!
Keep eating; all you're doing is tiring yourself out!
She was thinking about this when the two girls returned and sat down, almost knocking over a cup, and had to deliberately slide the dishes forward to make room.
Zhu Yulan narrowed her eyes.
"Hello."
The two girls were a bit nervous subconsciously when faced with Zhu Yulan's demeanor as a young lady.
"Hm."
Zhu Yulan simply nodded lightly and then looked away.
Several people had come back.
Zhou Hangyu and Li Rundong each found topics to talk about with the two girls and were very gentlemanly, even helping them peel shrimp.
Zhu Yulan appeared to have little appetite.
"Aren't you eating?" Xu Musen raised his head to ask.
Zhu Yulan usually ate seafood that was already peeled by the housekeeper before it was served; she hated getting her fingers oily.
They'd smell of seafood all day.
"Peeling is troublesome."
She spoke up, her gaze drifting to Zhou Hangyu and Li Rundong who were attentively peeling shrimp for the two girls opposite them and then sneakily glanced at him.
That subtle hint of suggestion was there.
If Zhou Hangyu and Li Rundong weren't trying to woo these two ladies, they definitely would have taken the opportunity to score some points.
"Fine, I'll eat them for you then," Xu Musen said, picking up the crab legs in front of her and continued with his meal.
"???"
Zhu Yulan's eyes widened, feeling a momentary tightness in her chest.
It wasn't that she necessarily wanted Xu Musen to peel something for her, but she thought if others had someone to peel shrimp for them, why didn't she?
The least he could have done was offer courteously.
Zhu Yulan grew more irritated the more she thought about it!
The other two girls couldn't help but stifle a smile, thinking that it certainly wasn't possible for these two to be in a relationship.
How could a guy possibly be so blunt with a girl he fancied?
The two girls started their own conversation, which somehow always subtly circled back to Xu Musen.
"Oh~ Last time I went to Hu Hai University, those Kangaroo delivery ads everywhere were actually founded by you."
"Sigh, we're all just freshmen in our first year, why does it feel like there's such a big gap? Boss Xu, don't forget about us when you strike it rich in the future."
The two girls said with a smile.
"It's nothing special, just some small business dealings," Xu Musen replied with a casual smile and a nod.
"Are all handsome guys this modest? You're so outstanding, you must have a girlfriend, right?" Chai Qingmiao playfully blurted out the question.
"I'm just like everyone else, a single noble. Having a girlfriend would just hinder my wandering the world," Xu Musen answered with a laugh.
"Really? But with your looks, finding a girlfriend would just take a nod, and you'd have a bunch running over, right?" Hu Wenjing chimed in.
"Pssh, some people are like a Pixiu, money only comes in and never goes out; whose daughter would be so blind as to chase after him…" Zhu Yulan snorted, seemingly more of a heckler than Zhou Hangyu and Li Rundong.
"Boss Zhu, I'm all about frugality and managing the household; anyone who ends up with me would be laughing behind closed doors," Xu Musen said cheerfully.
Zhu Yulan rolled her eyes, if she hadn't known you were so cheap you'd haggle over fifty cents for printing paper, she might have believed you!
"Smack..."
Just then, a figure walked over, and the plate in hand almost got overturned right in front of Zhu Yulan.
