"Weiwei, it really is you!" Feng Yu looked at Zhou Wei with a look of surprise and delight.

Upon hearing the familiar male voice, Zhou Wei turned around with difficulty: "Ah, senior, it's been a long time."

Feng Yu, carrying several bags, walked up to Zhou Wei with a smile: "I was just saying I saw a figure that looked a lot like you. You're here to buy clothes too?"

“Mmm,” Zhou Wei nodded, her gaze falling on the girl following behind Feng Yu.

She inwardly groaned, "This girl must be Feng Yu's girlfriend. Why doesn't she stop her boyfriend from talking to another girl? She should just pull Feng Yu away!"

The girl noticed Zhou Wei looking at her and gave her a sweet smile, which left Zhou Wei somewhat confused.

However, Zhou Wei's reaction clearly misled Feng Yu, who explained somewhat flusteredly, "Weiwei, this is my cousin Lian Jia. She was studying abroad and just came back these past two days. My mom asked me to bring her out to buy some warmer clothes."

"Hello, Miss! My name is Lian Jia, and I'm my cousin's younger cousin," Lian Jia greeted Zhou Wei with a smile.

Hehehe, she's stumbled upon some big gossip: her cousin likes this pretty young lady in front of him.

Zhou Wei was taken aback, not expecting that this person was Feng Yu's cousin. She nodded politely to her and said, "Hello, Miss Lian. My name is Zhou Wei, and this is my friend Ye Ling. We are both juniors of Senior Feng from university."

She emphasized the latter part of the sentence, wanting to distance herself from Feng Yu.

Lian Jia nodded with a smile: "Yes, yes, I know, I know, senior and junior, right?"

If she had toned down the gossipy look on her face a little, her words would have been more convincing.

"Weiwei, it's almost noon. Let me treat you and your junior sister Ye to lunch," Feng Yu said, looking at Zhou Wei with expectant eyes, hoping to get her affirmative answer.

Seeing this, Lian Jia quickly chimed in, blinking her big eyes at Zhou Wei: "Yeah, we just happened to run into each other, let's all have a meal together."

Pretty girls always make people feel good about them, and Zhou Wei admitted that she was momentarily charmed by Lian Jia.

However, she was thinking about the hot pot dinner last time. Feng Yu hadn't charged her that time, and she had been looking for an opportunity to treat him back. This was indeed an opportunity.

Zhou Wei asked Ye Ling in a low voice, "Lingdang, do you want to eat with them? If not, we can eat alone."

"I'm fine with anything, whatever you say," Ye Ling said, not minding getting a free meal.

Seeing that she had no objections, Zhou Wei said to Feng Yu, "Senior, please wait a moment, I'll be done in a minute."

Upon hearing this, Feng Yu's eyes immediately lit up: "Okay, then I'll wait for you outside."

A moment later, Zhou Wei came out carrying a bag: "Senior, shall we go upstairs to eat?"

"Okay," Feng Yu replied, completely resigned to Zhou Wei's decision.

The four of them went upstairs to a Hunan restaurant, and during the meal, Zhou Wei secretly got up and paid the bill.

When Feng Yu finished eating and was about to pay the bill, he found out that their table had already paid. This made Feng Yu both amused and exasperated. It seemed that Zhou Wei really didn't want to have anything to do with him, otherwise she wouldn't have been so eager to pay the bill.

After watching Zhou Wei and the other person leave, Feng Yu stood there in a daze.

Lian Jia patted her cousin on the shoulder and comforted him, saying, "The king is interested, but the goddess is not. Please accept my condolences, cousin."

Feng Yu: She's such a good cousin.

Feng Yu said with a dark face, "Let's go home first," and then strode forward.

"Hey, cousin, wait for me!" Lian Jia immediately grabbed his newly bought clothes and chased after him.

After getting into the car, Feng Yu stared intently at Lian Jia with his dark eyes and warned, "Lian Jia, remember not to talk nonsense to my mom when we get back, or I'll beat you up."

His little cousin has always been someone who loves to watch the drama unfold, and Feng Yu doesn't want his mother to know that he likes Zhou Wei yet, otherwise his mother will definitely object.

Although he knew Zhou Wei didn't like him, Feng Yu still didn't want to add another obstacle to his pursuit of love.

"I won't say, I absolutely won't say," Lian Jia made a gagging gesture.

"But cousin, you're doing this for nothing. Weiwei doesn't like you anyway. If you ask me, you should just give up."

"Mind your own business," Feng Yu found his cousin's words grating.

Zhou Wei and Ye Ling did not leave the mall immediately. They had not finished shopping yet, and a stroll after dinner would help them digest.

Ye Ling took Zhou Wei's hand and gossiped about her current relationship with Feng Yu.

Who wouldn't be curious about Feng Yu's attentive manner during dinner?

However, with outsiders present, Ye Ling didn't say anything. She didn't know her sisters' attitudes yet, and they would never help a man for nothing.

Zhou Wei said with difficulty, "He should be pursuing me, but he has never explicitly said that he likes me or wants me to be his girlfriend, so I don't even know how to refuse."

"Maybe your rejection was too obvious, that's why he didn't dare to confess. If he didn't confess, we could still be friends," Ye Ling analyzed seriously.

"Let's leave it at that for now, we don't see each other usually anyway," Zhou Wei said, not taking the matter to heart.

Feng Yu was quite sensible. He would usually just send Zhou Wei messages, and if she didn't reply for a long time, he might make a voice call. He didn't go to the school to look for her in a big way.

There are still quite a few students at school who know Feng Yu. If they find out that Feng Yu is interested in her, her peaceful life will definitely be disrupted.

"Don't think about such troublesome things. I want to drink milk tea. Let's go buy a cup of milk tea first."

After receiving the New Year's gifts from Zhou Wei, Xia Qingqing wondered if she should also send some New Year's gifts to her friends in other dimensions.

Although not every world celebrates the Spring Festival, she still wanted to make everyone happy and share in the joy.

Another point is that relationships need to be maintained; otherwise, why would people like to give gifts during holidays?

Without hesitation, Xia Qingqing made a special trip to the department store and bought a bunch of snacks with a 1970s flavor, including pastries, candies, canned fruit, malted milk powder, and a few bottles of chili sauce made by Zhang Hongyan herself.

These items were divided into five portions, one portion for each of the five friends from different dimensions.

Of course, these alone were not enough as gifts, so she took some other things from the system warehouse. The gifts she prepared for each person were different, because gifts should be given according to the recipient's preferences and needs.

Xia Qingqing prepared the most things for Gu Yunshu and Zhou Wei, because these two were not only her trading partners, but also her good friends.

Yes, she is indeed a hypocrite.
