Chapter 44 - 39: Is Zhou Yuwen Happy Too?

Originally, when Zheng Yanyan said that, Chang Hao thought she was about to confront him, but he didn’t expect she would add that sentence afterward. It was like throwing a bucket of cold water on Chang Hao. It was somewhat embarrassing. "Pffhahaha!" Li Qiang, who had been paying attention to the matter, couldn’t help but burst into loud laughter upon seeing the message. "No way, Brother Hao, she just wanted to trick you into a meal! Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter here, I really thought you two got together!" Li Qiang laughed exaggeratedly. Chang Hao was slightly annoyed, "Would you keep it down, dammit!" Li Qiang kept laughing, but he covered his mouth. Zhou Yuwen wasn’t interested in Chang Hao’s ridicule. Seeing that Chang Hao had stopped talking, he continued to tally the number of campus card subscribers. Since everyone chose different packages, the commission Zhou Yuwen got from each was also different. It was too troublesome to calculate. At that moment, QQ beeped twice. Li Shiqi: What are you doing? Li Shiqi didn’t use QQ much and probably mustered up some courage to message Zhou Yuwen. Unquestionably, by then, Li Shiqi had developed a liking for Zhou Yuwen. But she had never been in a relationship and didn’t know how to go about it. That evening, when Zhou Yuwen walked Li Shiqi to her dormitory, her roommate saw them. The moment she got back to the dorm, a nosy roommate asked if that was Li Shiqi’s boyfriend. Having never dated, Li Shiqi was definitely shy. She shook her head and said no. "Oh come on, if he’s not, then why would he walk you back to the dorm?" "Exactly, your face is even red, and you still say he’s not." There might not be many girls in relationships at Jinling University, but Li Shiqi’s dorm was an exception; all the other girls except for her were in relationships. That’s why they mostly talked about their boyfriends during their night chats. Last night when they asked Li Shiqi, she still said she didn’t have a boyfriend. Now look at that, what do you mean no boyfriend! Isn’t her boyfriend quite handsome! Li Shiqi explained that he wasn’t her boyfriend, She was even looking forward to boasting in front of Su Qing and Shen Yu. But then, Brother Hao didn’t reply. Shen Yu said, "If you ask someone to treat you to a meal right off the bat, I wouldn’t reply either." Zheng Yanyan was unhappy and couldn’t help saying, "Isn’t it natural for a man to treat a woman to a meal?" "Hmm, I can’t believe this Brother Hao has no clue at all. I was really thinking about giving him a chance," Zheng Yanyan pouted. Whether to give him a chance or not was another matter, but if Brother Hao didn’t treat her, he might really miss his chance. Just as Zheng Yanyan was about to give up, Brother Hao, after much deliberation, finally sent a message: "What do you like to eat then, Yanyan! (gritting teeth)" Seeing Brother Hao’s message, Zheng Yanyan was finally able to boast, "See! I told you he would agree!" "Look quickly, look." Shen Yu and Su Qing saw but didn’t say anything. Zheng Yanyan knew that things hadn’t gone as smoothly as she had hoped and that she couldn’t shamelessly continue to request meals, so she said, "I was just kidding, no need for you to treat. We from the girls’ dorm want to have a social gathering with your boys’ dorm, and we can go Dutch." Upon hearing this, Brother Hao felt relieved inside and immediately grabbed his phone to brag. Li Qiang was still teasing Brother Hao about it, so Brother Hao, holding up his phone said, "Open your eyes wide and look! She was only joking! See how petty you were! Got owned, didn’t you?" Li Qiang, picking his nose, said, "Why would my face get slapped? I’m not chasing her. She saw you hadn’t responded for fifteen minutes and felt you were being too tight, so she gave you a way out." "???" Brother Hao stared blankly. But then he saw Li Qiang still picking his nose. "Damn it!" Only then did Brother Hao realize, damn, he’d been played by Li Qiang. If it weren’t for Li Qiang mocking him, he wouldn’t have possibly ignored her. He hurried to make amends. "No no no, Yanyan, what are you talking about! How could a man let a woman pay when eating out? It’s already an honor for us that your dorm wants to mingle with ours, how could we let you pay! We’ll cover it, we’ll cover it." "Let’s just stick to going Dutch; otherwise, you might think we’re those kinds of girls who like to take advantage of others." "How could that be! How could that be, Yanyan, the reason I didn’t reply before was because I forgot to bring my phone to the bathroom. What a joke, I know exactly what you girls are like—each one of you is stunning. It’s an honor for our dorm to get to hang out with you, there’s no way we’d mind such a small expense. I just told my roommates we were planning a social, and they were so happy! They even want to treat you girls to a seafood buffet in Toronto!" Initially, a simple meal for 59 dollars would have been enough. But because Brother Hao hadn’t responded for ten minutes, he could only go all out now. "Really happy or fake happy?" "Definitely really happy!" "Is Zhou Yuwen also happy?"
