Chapter 161

Liu Siyu watched from afar as Chen Zhaoyue and Wen Yanxi walked side by side to the cafeteria, her teeth unconsciously clenching her lower lip. She could almost imagine the innocent yet artificial smile on Chen Zhaoyue's face as she walked beside Wen Yanxi.

System prompt: [The target person, Wen Yanxi, has told Chen Zhaoyue everything you said about looking for him yesterday.]

A cold electronic sound rang in her mind. Liu Siyu clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her palms.

Liu Siyu didn't expect Wen Yanxi to be so loyal to Shen Zhaoyue - he would even report such a small matter as other women looking for him in detail.

This kind of honesty that was almost blind loyalty made her both annoyed and jealous. Chen Zhaoyue was just an NPC, so how could she get a man like this?

"How ridiculous." Liu Siyu muttered to herself, and when she turned and left, she stepped extra hard, venting her unwillingness.

…

When Chen Zhaoyue arrived at the cafeteria, it was already bustling with people. She stood on tiptoe to look around and saw Wen Qing at a glance.

Wen Qing had just finished his meal, with one meat dish and two vegetable dishes neatly arranged in the lunch box, and was looking for a place to eat.

"Wen Qing!" Chen Zhaoyue trotted over with a bright smile on his face.

Wen Qing looked up when he heard the voice, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he laughed: "Why are you here for dinner just now?"

"I was delayed a bit while writing the medical records, so I'm late." Chen Zhaoyue answered naturally, his eyes curved into crescents. "By the way, can you save a table for us? Your uncle and I will come over after we finish eating."

"..." Wen Qing's smile froze for a moment. Was he being treated as a tool to occupy a seat?

Wen Qing wanted to refuse, but nodded: "Okay, go ahead, there's not much food left."

"Thank you!" Chen Zhaoyue turned around without noticing, her ponytail drawing a cheerful arc in the air.

Wen Qing looked at her back and sighed softly.

He found a table for four and quietly put his lunch box aside, leaving two seats empty. Then his eyes unconsciously turned to Shen Zhaoyue in the team.

Several teammates around him cast curious glances at him, but he pretended not to see them.

Not long after, Chen Zhaoyue and Wen Yanxi came over, talking and laughing, carrying plates.

When Wen Yanxi saw Wen Qing, he raised his eyebrows in surprise. While considerately helping Shen Zhaoyue pull out the stool, he asked, "Why are you here?"

"No... I want to eat too!" Wen Qing muttered unhappily, his eyes flicking between the two of them. "When you tried to save a seat with me, you greeted me with a smile, but after I got it, you just dumped me."

Wen Yanxi took half of the rice from Chen Zhaoyue's bowl and put it in his own bowl. He suddenly smiled and said, "Actually, you don't have to save a seat for us. Don't you see there are still a few empty seats over there?"

Wen Qing was speechless and wanted to roll his eyes at his uncle: "Then it's not too late for you to go over now."

Wen Yanxi smiled and patted Wen Qing's shoulder, "Thank you."

Chen Zhaoyue couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of braised fish and put it in Wen Yanxi's bowl: "Try it quickly, the braised fish in the cafeteria is well made today."

Wen Yanxi looked at her gently and said, "Eat more yourself. You must be hungry after working all morning."

The natural and intimate interaction between the two made Wen Qing feel a little uncomfortable. He lowered his head and ate silently, trying to reduce his presence.

But Chen Zhaoyue obviously had no intention of ignoring him.

"Wen Qing, your uncle asked you to be his best man. Do you need us to prepare anything for you?" Chen Zhaoyue swallowed the food in his mouth and asked with concern, "Do you want us to make you two new clothes as well?"

Wen Qing shook his head: "No need to bother, I have clothes."

"You must not be polite with us." Shen Zhaoyue said sincerely.

Wen Qing suddenly felt that the braised fish in the bowl no longer smelled good, and his voice was a little hoarse: "...I'm really not being polite to you. If I need anything, I will definitely ask my uncle."

Upon hearing this, Wen Yanxi glanced at Wen Qing and helped him reject Shen Zhaoyue: "Just buy new clothes for yourself. I will arrange the clothes for Wen Qing to wear on the wedding day."

"oh."

Seeing that Yanxi had already made preparations, Chen Zhaoyue said no more.

The three of them ate and chatted, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.

However, this harmony did not last long and was broken by an uninvited guest.

"Can I sit here?"

Liu Siyu had stood beside their table at some point, with a carefully calculated smile and a weak look on her face, looking at Wen Yanxi timidly.

Wen Yanxi frowned and didn't respond.

Chen Zhaoyue nodded politely: "Oh, Nurse Liu, you are here to eat too. Come on, come on, sit here with me."

As Shen Zhaoyue spoke, he reached out to take Liu Siyu’s lunch box and put it on the table.

Liu Siyu stole a glance at Wen Yanxi's expression and said in a coquettish voice, "This...isn't good, right?"

Chen Zhaoyue took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, a sly smile flashing in his eyes: "What's wrong with this? The dining table in the cafeteria is not exclusive to us, anyone can sit here."

After hearing what Chen Zhaoyue said, Liu Siyu showed a relieved expression on her face. She smiled at Chen Zhaoyue, "I thought that because I showed too much concern for Captain Wen a few days ago, Sister Shen misunderstood and would ignore me in the future!"

"How can that be?" Chen Zhaoyue curled her lips.

If I ignore her, how can I give her itching powder and bowel cleansing medicine?

Liu Siyu acted like a considerate and caring sister and persuaded Shen Zhaoyue: "Sister Shen, you should be happy that you have found such an outstanding partner like Captain Wen. The fact that so many people care about him shows that Captain Wen's excellence is obvious to all. If no other female comrades like Captain Wen, wouldn't it also indirectly indicate that there is something wrong with Captain Wen?"

Not to mention that Chen Zhaoyue didn't like to hear her outrageous remarks, even Wen Yanxi and Wen Qing felt uncomfortable after hearing them.

Since when has the excellence of a man been proven by the number of his suitors?

Chen Zhaoyue listened to Liu Siyu's gossip, and his eyes gradually turned cold.

Is she here to run to this pua?

Liu Siyu didn't even consider whether she was qualified.

Chen Zhaoyue folded the handkerchief and put it in her pocket, then suddenly stood up: "Nurse Liu, please sit here and eat. We've already finished eating, so we'll give you the seat."

The smile on Liu Siyu's face froze, almost falling. She looked at Chen Zhaoyue's lunch box, which still had two mouthfuls of rice left, and reminded her: "We have a supervisor in the cafeteria. If anyone wastes food..."

Before Liu Siyu could finish her words, she saw Wen Yanxi pick up Chen Zhaoyue's lunch box and eat up all the food she hadn't finished in two bites.

Not only was the food in Chen Zhaoyue's bowl eaten clean, but the food in Wen Yanxi and Wen Qing's bowls was also eaten clean in the short time she was talking.

Shen Zhaoyue walked in front with his hands behind his back. Wen Yanxi and Wen Qing, uncle and nephew, moved in a surprisingly coordinated manner. They each held a lunch box and followed Shen Zhaoyue out of the cafeteria.

Liu Siyu realized belatedly that she had been tricked by Chen Zhaoyue. She watched them leave with cold eyes, the chopsticks in her hand being squeezed so tightly that they were almost deformed.

"System, re-evaluate the feasibility of attacking Wen Yanxi." Liu Siyu muttered in her heart.

System: [Evaluating... The target's loyalty to Shen Zhaoyue exceeds expectations. We recommend changing the target or adopting a more aggressive strategy immediately.]

Liu Siyu stared at Wen Qing's back thoughtfully, a meaningful smile curling up at the corner of her mouth: "A more radical strategy? Sounds interesting, tell me about it."
