The curvature is very faint.

Although Pei Wu's smile was faint, her words were slow and gentle, and somehow, Shen Yu Nan detected a subtle tenderness in them...

"Here, have some. Look, your lips are all chapped."

Pei Wu took the drinks from her tray and placed them in front of Shen Yu Nan before leaving with her own tray. Because the store was busy, Pei Wu didn't linger.

Shen Yu'nan watched Pei Wu put down the tray in her hand and leave the store. When she came back, she was carrying a computer.

Upon hearing Pei Wu's words, Shen Yu Nan subconsciously looked at his reflection on the black screen of the cash register, then touched his chapped lips.

'Even the silicone material used to make artificial human skin is peeling off?'

Shen Yu Nan, having looked away, turned his gaze back to Pei Wu.

He didn't even realize that his gaze was always following the other person.

Pei Wu found a relatively secluded spot to sit down. She wore headphones to block out the surrounding noise, and the light from the computer screen reflected off her glasses, making her look completely out of place in the noisy environment.

Shen Yu'nan's heart pounded twice, and the tips of his ears turned slightly red.

This chain fast food restaurant is located at the entrance of a subway station, which is also a university town. So, there are usually quite a few young college students in the store. On weekends, the college students who come to the store are all dressed up in their best.

"See that older sister sitting in the corner?"

"Which one, which one?"

The male college student standing in front of the counter was just looking down at his phone, waiting to pick up his food. They had already arrived at the subway entrance and were originally just planning to take the food back to their dorm to eat.

"It's the one sitting in the corner, wearing a white shirt, with long, straight black hair, using a computer. Can you see him?"

"I see her, I see her! Isn't she the older sister with the thin silver-rimmed glasses?"

"Go get his WeChat ID for me."

The boy urged his friend, even tempting him with benefits: "If you get my WeChat, I'll cover your meals for a week."

"Really? Three meals a day plus a late-night snack is allowed?"

"Sure, sure, go get it for me quickly."

Shen Yu'nan, who was standing behind the counter busy preparing meals for customers, clearly heard the conversation between the two.

Shen Yunan subconsciously looked up at the two male college students standing outside the counter; they looked like they had just come off the basketball court.

Wearing basketball jerseys with numbers on them, and holding basketballs in net baskets, their jerseys were soaked with sweat and stuck to their bodies. Even their hair was still damp with sweat. They exuded the youthful energy of college students, and their exposed arms showed the muscles that come with regular exercise, though not very pronounced. These two boys were indeed...

'He's definitely the kind of sporty, sunny boy that women would like...'

Thinking of this, Shen Yu'nan's heart sank slightly. He had always been weak and had never even touched a basketball before. He rarely did any normal physical exercise. His useless body was the type that would pant after walking just a few steps.

"make a deal."

As soon as he finished speaking, the boy outside the counter headed towards Pei Wu, turning back every few steps with a smile on his face and giving his friend an 'OK' sign.

Shen Yu'nan's heart seemed to be in his throat. His eyes followed the boy who was running towards Pei Wu and he couldn't take them back until his colleague nudged his arm, which snapped him out of his daze and pulled his gaze away.

The colleague who came to deliver the food obviously overheard what the two boys were saying. "I didn't know you were into this kind of gossip. Do you think he'll be able to get that girl's WeChat?"

Since most people now order food through mobile apps, there's usually only one staff member at the cashier. This relatively easy job fell to Shen Yu'nan, who would be working all night. This staff member was there to deliver the food.

"..." Shen Yu'nan lowered his eyes to conceal his true feelings. "Who knows..."

"..." The colleague then casually glanced at the college student standing outside the counter. "He looks good. I should be able to get him. What woman can resist a male college student who exudes alluring hormones, especially a sporty one? I bet that beauty will give him her WeChat."

Upon hearing what her colleague said, Shen Yu'nan's eyelids twitched violently, and she unconsciously bit her lip, feeling a pang of sadness in her heart.

His gaze had already unconsciously drifted towards Pei Wu, and he saw Pei Wu wave to the boy who went to ask for her WeChat.

For some reason, Shen Yu'nan felt a sense of relief.

I watched as the boy helplessly shrugged at his friend and then jogged back.

"I can't possibly afford your three meals a month plus late-night snacks? That beautiful lady said she's getting married soon, so there's nothing I can do. Are you going to become her concubine?"

The boy's words held a hint of amusement as he noticed his friend still peering towards the corner. "We're the new generation of college students," he said, "we can't do such shady things."

"I just looked, I didn't say anything."

Although society is progressing and gender equality is promoted every year, in reality, there is still little protection for men in society.

Even if men read many books, they are rarely hired by excellent companies because men waste too much time on reproduction, and companies are almost unwilling to train men to become the backbone of the company.

Even married men with children are not necessarily within the age range that most companies recruit for. As the saying goes, men have too little time for themselves, and companies are not charities; they won't do business that loses money.

Therefore, most of the important jobs in society are held by women. Even after so many changes to the law, it still favors women. Even the marriage law only guarantees male fidelity. Wealthy women can still have two or three wives...

"Number 4568"

"Over here, over here." The boy's words were interrupted by Shen Yu'nan's call. "Alright, alright, hurry back. It's getting late. If the dorm supervisor locks the door later, we'll be in big trouble."

"Um."

The two boys took their things and prepared to leave. Shen Yu'nan's gaze followed them until their figures disappeared from sight. He then glanced in Pei Wu's direction. Pei Wu put her earphones back on and her lips moved slightly as if she were making a phone call.

Even if they get married, Miss Pei won't only have him as her man.
