The news that Luo Yu became the top scorer in the national college entrance examination quickly spread in the community, and many neighbors came to visit him in groups.

"Liu Fang, you are so busy. If those reporters hadn't come to our house, we wouldn't have known that your son is such a good student. The top scorer in the college entrance examination would have meant he would be an important official in ancient times." said a middle-aged woman in her forties who was dressed very fashionably.

"That's right, you are a very modest person. You rarely mention your son in normal times, but he became the top scorer in the college entrance examination without saying anything. He even has the highest score in history. With this grade, he can go to any of Peking University and Tsinghua University. Isn't it easy for him to choose? I didn't pay much attention to him in normal times, but just now I took a closer look at your son. He is really good-looking, better looking than those stars. Does he have a girlfriend? Do you want me to introduce you to one? Although my niece is not as pretty as your son, she is also good and hardworking." Another middle-aged woman began to promote her niece.

"Don't listen to her. Her niece looks like a bean sprout. My daughter is pretty good. She has a big butt and is easy to raise."

“My daughter is multi-talented!”

"How can your nieces and nieces compare to mine? My cousin is the school belle."

…

Liu Fang wasn't sure how to respond. She hadn't mentioned her son much before because he wasn't a good student and didn't have many good qualities. So, she rarely mentioned him in front of others. But now, she was being taken for modesty. How did the conversation end up with her son getting a girlfriend? Seeing them almost come to blows, Liu Fang was a bit amused. Luo Zhaoguo sat nearby, reading his newspaper, pretending not to notice.

Luo Yu has never liked crowded places, so when the neighbors came to visit him, he wanted to find a reason to go out. But then he received a call from Sun Minghao, so he said hello to Liu Fang and Luo Zhaoguo and went out.

The doorbell rang at the noodle shop, and a young man in white pushed the door open. His exquisite features and elegant demeanor captivated everyone in the shop like a luminous object in the night. His captivating, deep eyes swept over the people in the shop like a feather, sweeping across their hearts, seemingly carrying an invisible electric current. Many of the young women in the shop began to glare at him.

The boy's gaze paused at a corner of the noodle shop, and then he walked directly in that direction.

The noodle shop, which had been bustling with activity, suddenly went quiet. Even the most obtuse Sun Minghao would have noticed something was amiss, and upon seeing Luo Yu approaching him, he couldn't help but froze. Was he seeing right? Luo Yu was wearing the same Diles outfit she'd tried on in the fitting room the last time he and Luo Yu had gone to the Diles store together. This outfit cost over 10,000 yuan, and Luo Yu had actually bought it?

Arriving at the noodle shop Sun Minghao mentioned, Luo Yu saw him wolfing down noodles as soon as he walked in. He hadn't seen him since the day he bought clothes. He looked darker, and his rebelliousness was gone. On the contrary, he seemed much tougher. He ate his noodles with big mouthfuls of his own, like a starving ghost. He no longer looked like the rich young man he used to be. He looked like a refugee who had just returned from Africa.

Sun Minghao knew that he looked very embarrassed. Men, women, young and old in the noodle shop kept glancing at him from time to time, but he was so hungry that he didn't care about his image.

Sitting across from Sun Minghao, Luo Yu glanced at the large bowl in Sun Minghao's hand, then at the empty bowl in front of him, and asked calmly, "How many days have you not eaten?"

"For the past ten days, my uncle has sent me to a military unit for training. I haven't slept eight hours a day, and I haven't had a full meal. Do you think I'm pathetic?" Sun Minghao picked up his bowl, drank the last sip of noodle soup, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and continued, "I finally managed to get my phone and ran away today. Now I'm broke. Could you please pay for my noodles first? I'll definitely pay you back later." Sun Minghao couldn't help blushing as he said this. He had never imagined that the dignified Young Master Sun would one day be unable to afford even two bowls of noodles and had to have his friends rush over to pay.

Luo Yu did not answer him, but asked: "Are you full?"

"I'm full, I'm full." Sun Minghao nodded frantically.

"Let's go." Luo Yu picked up the bill from the table and walked towards the cashier. Sun Minghao immediately stood up and followed him. While paying the bill, Luo Yu was suddenly surrounded by several girls who asked for his phone number. He refused them all because he didn't have a phone yet, and even if he did have one, he wouldn't give his phone number to strangers.

After leaving the noodle shop, I could still hear the girls exclaiming, "So handsome" and "Handsome man" and so on.

Sun Minghao sighed, "Standing next to you, I don't even feel like I exist anymore. After all, I'm a handsome guy, so why didn't they notice me and ask for my phone number?"

Luo Yu glanced at him and said, "Because you are so dark that you can't tell what you look like."

Sun Minghao suddenly felt as if thousands of arrows were piercing his heart, and his heart shattered into pieces with a "crack".

Because Sun Minghao shamelessly wanted to follow Luo Yu and begged for shelter, Luo Yu took him in reluctantly because he looked so pitiful and had no home to return to.

Watching Sun Minghao choosing clothes, Luo Yu sat aside, chatting with the system boredly.

"Host, you have become soft-hearted. In the past, you would have ignored this male."

"Maybe!" Luo Yu also realized something was different about himself. Before, even if Sun Minghao fainted in front of him, he probably wouldn't even glance at him. But now, that was no longer the case. Initially, he didn't want to get in touch with Sun Minghao and the other two, but those three guys kept pestering him. After getting to know them, he realized that while they had some of the bad habits of the rich and powerful, they were incredibly loyal to their friends. Friends, yes, they considered him a friend, and perhaps, unknowingly, he also considered them friends.

"The host has one chance left to draw a lottery. Do you want to start the draw now?"

"Well, let's start." If the system hadn't reminded him, Luo Yu would have almost forgotten about it.

"Ding... Congratulations to the host, you have won a bottle of mysterious potion. Due to restrictions, the host cannot take it now."

Mysterious potion? Luo Yu hadn't paid much attention to the lottery just now. After all, there were no missions at the moment, and he didn't need anything. But when he drew a bottle of mysterious potion that had never appeared before, Luo Yu became curious. "What does the mysterious potion do?"

"Because the potion is mysteriously sealed, it can only be taken after the host meets the required conditions. Therefore, analysis is currently unavailable."

"Forget it." Just as Sun Minghao walked out of the fitting room, Luo Yu ended the conversation with the system.

"The quality of this clothes is average, and the style is also average." Sun Minghao said as he pulled the clothes on himself. The clothes he was wearing now cost only more than two hundred Chinese yuan, and the quality and style were certainly not comparable to the ones he wore before that cost thousands or tens of thousands of yuan.

"You don't have to force yourself." Luo Yu crossed his arms.

"No, no, how could I force myself? I like them so much." Sun Minghao quickly said to the waiter, "Pack up this one and the two sets I tried on just now. I want them all." Sun Minghao was afraid that Luo Yu would regret it the next second.

The three sets of clothes cost more than 700 yuan in total. Luo Yu didn't bring so much money with him when he went out, so he could only pay by credit card.

Sun Minghao walked beside Luo Yu, carrying his clothes, and said with a touching look on his face: "Luo Yu, thank you for not only taking me in, but also buying me clothes. I will follow you from now on."

"You're welcome, just pay me the bill when the time comes."

The heart that had been finally put together was broken again because of Luo Yu's words.

"By the way, Luo Yu, did you win the lottery recently?" Sun Minghao was quite familiar with Luo Yu's family situation, and with Luo Yu's personality, he would not buy such expensive casual clothes if he didn't really have a lot of money.

"No, I made some money from stock trading recently." Luo Yu said concisely.

"Stock trading? The stock market hasn't been doing well recently. It's really not easy for you to make money. But you'd better be careful." Sun Minghao knew what to ask and what not to ask. Of course, as a friend, timely reminders were necessary.

Luo Yu nodded, "I know."

After buying clothes for Sun Minghao, Luo Yu stopped by a cell phone store and bought three phones costing over 2,000 yuan each. He was about to go to college, and it would be inconvenient to stay in touch without a phone. His parents' phones were also very old, so he decided to replace them.

When Luo Yu brought Sun Minghao home, the people at home were just about to leave. When they saw Luo Yu, they all smiled like flowers.

"Why are there so many people coming to your house?" Sun Minghao consciously changed into slippers at the entrance.

When Liu Fang saw Sun Minghao, she said enthusiastically, "Minghao is here. Come on in. What do you want to drink? Auntie will get it for you."

"No, Aunt Fang, I'm not thirsty now. I have something going on at home recently, so I may have to disturb you for a while." Sun Minghao scratched the back of his head embarrassedly.

"Don't bother me. We have a guest room here. You can stay as long as you like. Your parents are on a business trip again. How can you be such a parent? Always going out to work and leaving your son alone. You are such a pitiful child." Liu Fang took Sun Minghao to a small guest room next to Luo Yu's room. "Come, bring your things in. I just cleaned this room this morning. There is not a speck of dust."

Sun Minghao didn't feel the slightest bit embarrassed about his parents being caught in the crossfire again. After all, his parents were really busy and didn't have time to care about him. He could just send them a text message later to let them know.
