Zhao Ying came to Cafeteria 1 and met Yang Chen.
"Senior, sorry to keep you waiting!" Zhao Ying said with a smile.
Yang Chen smiled faintly and said, "No, I just got here not long ago too."
Zhao Ying took out the job fair invitation from her bag and handed it to Yang Chen with both hands.
Yang Chen thanked her and accepted the invitation.
Faced with such an outstanding senior, Zhao Ying naturally wanted to engage with him more.
So she quickly said, "Senior, you haven’t eaten yet, right? If you don’t mind, I’ll treat you to a meal, let you experience the cafeteria taste again."
Before Yang Chen could speak, Zhou Shuang came over and said, "Xiaoying, I already called the restaurant to deliver a meal package. Just wait a bit, it’ll be here soon."
Zhao Ying quickly refused, "Zhou Shuang, can you stop bothering me? I don’t eat Western food, you eat it yourself."
Zhou Shuang said, "I already ordered it, just eat a little."
Zhao Ying, feeling quite helpless, said, "Really, there’s no need! Thank you, but please don’t disturb us, okay?"
Zhou Shuang sat down at a nearby table, sulking with a face full of embarrassment.
After a while, the restaurant delivered the steak set Zhou Shuang had ordered.
The surrounding students started discussing.
"Zhou Shuang is flaunting his wealth to pursue Zhao Ying again."
"Meng Paris Restaurant’s set meal, I’d be thrilled if someone treated me to that."
"The unattainable is always stirring, while the favored are fearless. She just doesn’t fancy him, no matter how much you envy or resent."
"Sigh... See that? As long as you’re beautiful, even rich kids will become sycophants."
...
Zhou Shuang quickly approached Zhao Ying again, "Xiaoying, come have some. This is the steak set I ordered from Meng Paris, it’s really tasty."
Zhao Ying ignored him.
Zhou Shuang, being rather impatient, said to Yang Chen, "Bro, what’s your name? Which major? I’m Zhou Shuang from Business Administration."
Yang Chen also ignored him, having no interest in engaging with a love-stricken young sprout.
But Zhou Shuang, relentless, said, "Bro, I don’t care what major you are. I like Zhao Ying and am pursuing her. I hope you follow some rules and don’t create trouble for yourself. My family runs coal mines; you’re not as well-off, you can’t compete with me."
Yang Chen laughed and said, "Young junior, girls don’t need to be pursued; it’s mutual feelings that matter. What you’re doing is harassment, not love. Got it?"
Just then, staff from Tang Pavilion delivered a grand feast.
Lobster, king crab, caviar, all sorts of luxurious ingredients were there.
They had to pull two tables together to fit all the dishes.
This left Zhou Shuang, and the nearby students, stunned.
"Oh my, this handsome guy actually ordered from Tang Pavilion. No wonder Zhao Ying isn’t impressed with Zhou Shuang."
"I was wondering how anyone could withstand Zhou Shuang’s advances. Turns out there’s an even more impressive rich kid friend."
"Compared to Tang Pavilion, Meng Paris looks like a street stall."
"Is this how rich people pursue girls? It’s straightforward and unrefined!"
"Rich people’s way of courting is so vulgar, but I love it. If any rich kid pursued me like this, I’d graciously accept."
...
Zhou Shuang saw Yang Chen order from Tang Pavilion and instantly quieted down.
Zhao Ying mistakenly thought Yang Chen ordered the Tang Pavilion meal specifically for her, and she became overwhelmingly moved.
"Thank you, senior. I don’t even know how to thank you properly," Zhao Ying said with a smile.
Yang Chen replied with a smile, "No need to thank me, there’s too much food, we can’t finish it. Instead of throwing it away, you should join us and eat."
"We"?
That implies Yang Chen ordered the food for someone else?
Zhao Ying’s heart sank as she forced a smile, "Senior, who did you order the food for?"
Yang Chen: "My girlfriend, Li Xiaofei."
At the words "girlfriend," Zhao Ying inexplicably felt sad inside.
Speak of the devil, and the devil appears.
At this moment, Li Xiaofei happily ran over and hugged Yang Chen from behind.
"Dear, I’m here!" Li Xiaofei said with a smile.
Zhao Ying quickly stood up and said, "Well, you guys enjoy, I’ll get going."
Li Xiaofei promptly pulled Zhao Ying back and said, "Don’t go, join us. We can’t finish all this food. I’m starving, come on, let’s eat."
Saying this, Li Xiaofei handed tableware to Zhao Ying.
Zhao Ying nodded and started eating with the utensils.
Zhou Shuang, quite annoyed, said, "Xiaoying, they already have a girlfriend, why play third wheel? Or are you planning to be the other woman?"
Zhao Ying immediately frowned and replied, "Zhou Shuang, watch your words. What I do is none of your business, you have no right to interfere!"
Li Xiaofei mocked, "Zhou Shuang, just give up. The whole school knows Zhao Ying doesn’t like you, yet you keep pestering her. Can’t you be more of a man? Be rejected nicely and leave cleanly, instead of shamelessly pestering the girl."
Zhou Shuang: "What do you care about what I do? She’s interested in your boyfriend, and you’re still siding with her?"
Li Xiaofei: "Isn’t that normal? My dear looks so handsome, isn’t it normal for girls to like him? If they don’t like him, should they like someone as self-absorbed and conceited as you? Do you know the girls have long been annoyed by you, yet you still deludedly think you’re impressive?"
With Yang Chen backing her, Li Xiaofei wasn’t afraid of offending Zhou Shuang, so she spoke quite directly.
Zhou Shuang immediately got agitated, pointing at Li Xiaofei, "Mind your words! I don’t make things difficult for women, but that doesn’t mean I won’t make things difficult for men. Don’t cause trouble for your boyfriend."
