Chapter 15 - 10 Encounter

Chapter 15: Chapter 10 Encounter "Beep!" Su Qing hadn't even finished talking when the person on the other end of the line simply hung up the phone. Su Qing was first stunned, angrily thinking, how dare Zhou Yuwen hang up on her? But then she remembered, oh right! At this time, Zhou Yuwen was only 19 years old and didn't know her yet! Ah! Why did she start blabbing all that nonsense to him? Really! Su Qing slapped her forehead, feeling incredibly foolish. After all, she was ten years older than Zhou Yuwen at this point; she should be playing the long game! "Qingqing?" While Su Qing was annoyed with herself, Zheng Yanyan came over curiously with a milk tea in hand, "What happened? Zhou Yuwen still refuses to answer your call?" "No, the call went through." But at this moment, Su Qing looked delighted. Zheng Yanyan was somewhat suspicious about what Su Qing had actually talked about with Zhou Yuwen. And Su Qing obviously had no interest in telling Zheng Yanyan, only smiling as she said, "Let's go, are you guys still going to play cards?" "Uh, no more cards," Zheng Yanyan grabbed Su Qing by the arm and whispered, "These two guys are so boring, and I see you're not happy either, shall we go back to the dorm?" "Ah?" Su Qing remembered that Zheng Yanyan and Chang Hao were good friends throughout the four years of college—she didn't expect that they were about to call it quits because of her. That wouldn't do; she was still counting on this connection to get to know Zhou Yuwen. "Well, I think that skinnier guy isn't too bad, and he's from the same place as you," Su Qing felt she should give Chang Hao a helping hand—there might be a chance for him. "But he's so off-putting when he speaks, I prefer someone more stable!" Zheng Yanyan blinked her eyes. Su Qing felt a little smug upon hearing this, thinking that the most stable boy was going to be her boyfriend. "Oh come on, we're already here, going back to the dorm is boring; let's hang out a little longer!" Su Qing felt she had done her duty to Chang Hao. Following this, the four of them chatted in the canteen for a while. Su Qing was intent on playing matchmaker between Chang Hao and Zheng Yanyan, and Chang Hao was instantly smitten with Zheng Yanyan. However, Zheng Yanyan lacked interest in Chang Hao, her legs crossed as she sipped her milk tea, responding only perfunctorily to the topics Chang Hao brought up. It wasn't until past six o'clock, when the constantly overlooked Li Qiang finally spoke up, saying there was a class meeting coming up and asking Chang Hao if he was going back to the dorm. "Oh, rush what, we're going back soon. Hey, Yanyan, don't you guys have a class meeting?" Chang Hao had already started calling her Yanyan during their earlier online chats, and now it came out naturally. Zheng Yanyan didn't mind. She said, "We have our class meeting tomorrow." And looking at the beautiful, cheerful Su Qing before him. Zhou Yuwen knew in his heart that all of this was just a girl's disguise. On the surface, she appeared clean and demure, but secretly, she was sloppy and lazy. Hmph! Trying to trick me into marrying you so I wash your underwear? Dream on! "Oh, sure, we can get to know each other, but I should tell you upfront that I have someone I like." "You have someone you like?" Sure enough, upon hearing this answer, Su Qing, who had managed to keep her smile, suddenly became unsettled. What a joke! You are supposed to be my future husband! How dare you like someone else behind my back? "Who do you like?" Su Qing, true to form, couldn't act and immediately turned into an interrogator. "Well, actually, I don't even know her name. I just saw her at the school today. The girl was wearing jeans, a black T-shirt, oh right, and a duckbill cap! Really, I think she's so beautiful! It was love at first sight! Ah, schoolmate, if you find her, remember to let me know," Zhou Yuwen said with a laugh. He completely failed to notice that as soon as he mentioned 'love at first sight,' Su Qing had already furrowed her brows. This internal fury was so intense that it even made Zhou Yuwen, who had come back from the future, feel terrified. "You have someone you like?" Su Qing's voice was not loud, but why did it sound so frightening? "..." For the sake of his bright future, Zhou Yuwen nodded. "Alright, I got it." Unexpectedly, Zhou Yuwen had thought Su Qing would hang around a bit longer, but to his surprise, she turned and left without a second thought. "Ah! Qingqing!" Everything happening before the spectators was very confusing, but it was clear that Zhou Yuwen had rejected Su Qing, and Su Qing was angry, with Zheng Yanyan chasing after her. Before leaving, however, Zheng Yanyan greeted Zhou Yuwen: "Hey, handsome, we meet again!" "Eh? It's you, huh? Want to add each other as contacts?" Zhou Yuwen immediately reached for his phone. This made Su Qing, who intended to leave, pause yet again. "Damn, Zhou, that's going too far! Do you know what she means to me?!" Chang Hao panicked when he heard this. And Zheng Yanyan couldn't help but laugh. She noticed that Zhou Yuwen was holding the latest Apple 5s. She had begged her parents for it for over two months during the summer break, only to be denied by her father with the reason that she couldn't flaunt wealth while being away from home. Do you, an eighteen-year-old girl, really need a phone that costs over five thousand? "Let's not add this time, maybe next time," Zheng Yanyan said, playfully winking at Zhou Yuwen before pulling Su Qing away.
