Initially, Chang Hao thought Zheng Yanyan was finally going to confess to him, but her added condition was like a bucket of cold water over his head. It left him feeling a bit embarrassed.
"Pffft, hahaha!"
Li Qiang, who had been following the situation, couldn't help but laugh. "Oh man, Brother Hao, she just wants a free al! I thought you two were a done deal!"
Chang Hao, annoyed, snapped, "Keep your voice down, damn it!"
Li Qiang continued to laugh but covered his mouth.
Zhou Yuwen, uninterested in the drama, went back to calculating the number of campus cards he had processed. The different packages ant varying commissions, which was quite tedious to tally.
Just then, his QQ pinged twice.
Li Shiqi: What are you doing?
Li Shiqi rarely used QQ, so ssaging Zhou Yuwen must have taken so courage. Clearly, she had developed feelings for him. Not having dated before, she was unsure how to proceed.
When Zhou Yuwen had escorted her to the dormitory, her roommates had noticed. Upon returning, they teased her, asking if that was her boyfriend.
Embarrassed, Li Shiqi denied it, shaking her head. "No, he's not."
"Co on, if he’s not, why did he walk you back?" her roommates teased.
Li Shiqi blushed and insisted, "He's just a high school classmate."
"Do you like him?"
That question caught Li Shiqi off guard. Did she like him? She wasn't sure, but Zhou Yuwen's presence had certainly made an impression.
Her roommates, seeing her hesitation, encouraged her to pursue him, saying it was much easier for a girl to chase a guy. With their encouragent, Li Shiqi mustered the courage to ssage Zhou Yuwen.
Zhou Yuwen replied, "I'm tallying the campus card packages."
"Oh."
"By the way, are you busy?" Zhou Yuwen suddenly thought about Li Shiqi's academic excellence and the wages he had paid her.
"Not really."
"Can you help
with sothing?"
"Sure."
Zhou Yuwen explained the task to her. With her feelings for him, Li Shiqi eagerly agreed to help, feeling happy to be of assistance. This lightened Zhou Yuwen's workload considerably.
anwhile, Chang Hao was feeling down about Zheng Yanyan's ssage and didn't reply for a while. But then he reconsidered, thinking she might be testing him. Given how many guys would happily treat her to a al, why would she ask him?
After about ten minutes, Zheng Yanyan started to doubt her charm. She had expected Chang Hao to jump at any opportunity she offered. She had been looking forward to bragging to Su Qing and Shen Yu, but now she felt let down.
Shen Yu remarked, "You can't just demand a al right off the bat. If it were , I wouldn't reply either."
Zheng Yanyan, annoyed, said, "Isn't it normal for n to treat won to dinner? I didn't think Chang Hao would be so clueless. I was actually considering giving him a chance."
Just as Zheng Yanyan was about to give up, Chang Hao finally replied, "What do you like to eat, Yanyan? ??"
Seeing his ssage, Zheng Yanyan perked up and gloated, "See, I knew he'd agree!"
"Look, look," she showed her phone to Su Qing and Shen Yu.
They didn't say much, but Zheng Yanyan realized it couldn't go as smoothly as she had imagined. She couldn't keep pushing for a al, so she said, "I was just kidding. We want to have a dorm-to-dorm et-up. We'll split the bill."
Chang Hao, relieved, quickly showed off the ssage to his roommates. "See? It was just a joke! Stop laughing at !"
Li Qiang, still picking his nose, said, "They're giving you an out because you didn't reply for so long. They probably think you're cheap."
"?"
Chang Hao suddenly realized he had been tricked. If not for Li Qiang's mockery, he would have replied sooner.
He hurried to respond, "Don't be silly, Yanyan. Of course, we n should pay. Your dorm eting ours is an honor. No way we'd let you pay. We got this!"
"Let's split the bill. We’re not the type to take advantage."
"No way! I'm serious, Yanyan. I didn’t reply earlier because I forgot my phone in the bathroom. I know your dorm is full of beauties. eting you is our privilege. My roommates are thrilled! They even suggested treating you to Toronto Seafood Buffet!"
Originally, a simple $59 buffet would have sufficed, but now, to save face, Chang Hao had to go all out.
"Really thrilled?"
"Absolutely!"
"So Zhou Yuwen is happy too?"
