Chapter 429: Chapter 424: Green and Unripe Love
Zhou Yan revealed a smile as clear as a spring, “Hello everyone, I am Zhou Yan.”
“Ji Yao.”
“Zhang Che.”
“Song Cheng’an.”
“…”
The group nodded at Zhou Yan.
Shen Yan then shifted her position, “I’m Shen Yan.”
Zhou Yan nodded at each of them in turn, then turned his gaze towards Lin Shuangxu, the implication clear.
Lin Shuangxu looked at the spot Shen Yan had moved away from, hesitated for a mont, but ultimately stayed put, “What are you doing here?”
“I just happened to co over to et with my family,” Zhou Yan gestured towards their seats, “Do you mind if I join you?”
Since the guests were invited by Shen Yan, everyone turned to look at her.
Shen Yan was generous, “Welco.”
Lin Shuangxu reached out from behind and gently tugged at Shen Yan’s sleeve to give a secret signal, but Zhou Yan had already smiled and walked around the outside of the booth, standing next to Lin Shuangxu.
Lin Shuangxu sowhat reluctantly moved inside next to Shen Yan.
The atmosphere grew slightly awkward as Zhou Yan took his seat.
“Cough! Buddy, which departnt are you from?”
“Finance.”
“Finance is pretty impressive.”
“In the future, that job is going to be related to us in computer science too!”
“I rember now, I heard there’s a really impressive top student in the Finance departnt, surna Zhou. It’s not you, is it?”
“Zhou Yan, are you impressive within your departnt?” Lin Shuangxu showed so interest as soon as she heard this.
Zhou Yan looked at her with a smile, “I’m okay.”
“What do you an okay, you’re amazing, all right.”
“Our departnts are quite far apart… how do you know Lin Shuangxu?”
“We t outside the school gates,” Zhou Yan openly admitted, “I am pursuing her.”
“!!!!”
Everyone imdiately caught a whiff of gossip!
They all winked at Lin Shuangxu teasingly.
Lin Shuangxu was dumbfounded.
Why did he have to say it outright!
She hadn’t agreed to anything, and he wasn’t embarrassed.
“Buddy, you’ve got good taste. Lin Shuangxu excels in many ways, and she’s disciplined, unlike those girls who constantly run off campus.”
“Although we know you’re not bad, our Lin Shuangxu is very good in all aspects and isn’t the kind of girl to follow soone just because they beckon. If you want to pursue soone, you’ve got to show so sincerity.”
Listening to them banter, Lin Shuangxu was about to die of embarrassnt.
“We’re here to eat today, let’s not talk about these things at the dinner table, please,” Lin Shuangxu quickly cut off everyone’s relentless chatter.
Zhou Yan still wore a clean smile, “I will work hard, and I know she’s a good girl.”
“Okay, stop talking…” Lin Shuangxu was truly embarrassed now.
Seeing her reaction, Zhou Yan also stopped talking.
Lin Shuangxu rembered sothing, looked at Shen Yan and winked.
Shen Yan responded with a smile.
Lin Shuangxu made more faces.
Shen Yan paused, then said, “If there’s anything else you want to eat, you can order. I’ve only ordered the restaurant’s signature dishes for you.”
“You must have chosen well,” although they had entered that kind of place, a place like this was still too expensive for them.
Shen Yan passed the nu, which was on the other side, to Lin Shuangxu, “Could you please pass this to Zhou.”
“…”
Lin Shuangxu passed it to Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan smiled slightly, “Thank you.”
Lin Shuangxu was sowhat dejected, “You’re welco.”
Ji Yao across gave Lin Shuangxu a little kick under the table. Lin Shuangxu glared at him, warning him not to do anything unnecessary.
Ji Yao and the others were all boys, and while their reading of people might not be as refined as worldly socialites outside, they still could feel Zhou Yan’s sincerity, as well as his special liking for Lin Shuangxu.
And moreover.
Ji Yao knew who Zhou Yan was; not thoroughly, but at least all the personal rumors he had heard about Zhou Yan were positive, with no negative sides ever ntioned.
Of course.
So people could be quite deceptive, but in front of Shen Yan, the master of acting, their true self would probably show.
The fact that Shen Yan had offered the nu earlier was a clear sign that this Zhou Yan was a good one!
Since it was related to Lin Shuangxu’s happiness, a few of the guys close to Lin Shuangxu were also watching out for her.
With them around, there was no fear of Lin Shuangxu being pursued by a jerk.
During dinner, Zhou Yan naturally used the serving chopsticks to give Lin Shuangxu her favorite dishes, taking great care of her.
Lin Shuangxu’s cheeks reddened as she got stared at by the others across the table, and even though she wanted to tell Zhou Yan not to dish up for her, she swallowed her words.
Shen Yan found this scene amusing.
Lin Shuangxu had never been in a relationship, and her expression was very innocent.
Judging by Zhou Yan’s behavior, he seed to lack experience in this area as well and was just genuinely kind to Lin Shuangxu.
Between the two of them, there was a budding and bittersweet feeling of young love!
“Here you go, Xuxu, this is your favorite soy-sauce spare ribs!”
Suddenly, with a smiling face, Shen Yan picked up a rib with his chopsticks and placed it into Lin Shuangxu’s bowl.
The whole table was sowhat stunned.
“Eh? Cough cough…”
Lin Shuangxu was taken aback and then stared at Shen Yan with her eyes wide open, as if she couldn’t believe such words would co from Shen Yan’s mouth!
Shen Yan must be teasing her, right?
“Eat up, it’ll get cold soon, or do you prefer it when Zhou does it for you?” Shen Yan lifted his chin slightly.
Lin Shuangxu’s eyes widened even more, full of disbelief.
“Shen, Shen Yan…” What’s with you?
Possessed?
If you’re possessed, blink your eyes.
Then Zhou Yan actually picked up a piece of rib and asked, “You like this one?”
“…”
Facing Zhou Yan’s shallow, gentle smile, the corners of Lin Shuangxu’s mouth twitched.
What’s the deal, what’s the deal, stop causing more trouble, will you?
“Is Xuxu your nickna?”
“…No, it’s not!” Lin Shuangxu imdiately reacted, glaring at Zhou Yan: “Don’t call that randomly.”
“Mhm, I’ve got it.”
What have you got?
The thought of “Xuxu” following her around from then on sent shivers down Lin Shuangxu’s spine!
She felt like crying…
*
After dinner, there was no lingering around; Ji Yao and the others had to rush back, so they left first, leaving Lin Shuangxu with Zhou Yan, while Shen Yan was picked up by his own driver.
“Shen Yan, you’re leaving just like that?” Lin Shuangxu, sowhat anxious about being alone with Zhou Yan, grabbed hold of Shen Yan as he was about to leave.
“Yes, didn’t Zhou say he was going to walk you ho?”
“But…”
“You like him quite a bit, don’t you? Give it a shot.”
Lin Shuangxu managed a wry smile, “Even you think he’s good? That’s why you did what you did?”
“Good n aren’t easy to co by, so claiming one early isn’t a loss,” Shen Yan paused, “I saw that online, but it makes a lot of sense.”
With a wave of his hand, Shen Yan got into his car and drove off majestically!
Lin Shuangxu: “…”
“Xuxu.”
“…” Lin Shuangxu twitched her mouth and turned to look at the man glowing under the streetlight. She felt awkward and wiped her face, complaining that people really are visual creatures, “That na is disrespectful… It sounds like what you call out for a child to pee.”
Zhou Yan: “…”
That figure of speech really killed the mood!
Realizing what she had just said, Lin Shuangxu covered her face and turned around, “Pretend you didn’t hear that.”
“Then can I call you Shuangshuang?”
“…Not allowed.”
“Shuangshuang.”
“…”
