After finishing his meal, Fan Mingyu returned to the classroom. This tall and handsome boy hadn't even had any romantic encounters yet, but Shang Lin had already walked ahead of him. What a blind man!

However, if the object is Xu Feifei, then forget it. I'm not interested in her. Although Shang Lin is good at studying and skilled in martial arts, he is short and not manly enough. How can he attract the other party?

Do girls all like the kind of boyish, obedient younger brother type like Shang Lin? Fan Mingyu couldn't understand it, but what he couldn't understand even more was that Zhou Heng was actually sitting in his seat eating!

Fan Mingyu immediately frowned and said with obvious disgust, "Don't you have a seat? Why do you insist on eating here? You're making my place smell like food."

Zhou Heng looked up and said calmly, "I've been waiting for you. You've been acting like you don't even know us, your childhood friends. What's wrong with you?"

Fan Mingyu sat across the table from Zhou Heng and said, "Don't you see what I do every day? And aren't you two working hard every day too?"

Zhou Heng quickly finished eating and stared at Fan Mingyu, "When did you and Shang Lin become so close? I saw you walking with your arm around him as soon as school was over."

Fan Mingyu rolled his eyes at Zhou Heng. "Is that even a question? He helped me so much, it's not unreasonable for me to be closer to him, right? Besides, we're not that close, he's busy and I'm busy too. It's just that today... I wanted to remind him, so I walked with him."

Zhou Heng returned Fan Mingyu's gaze, "He's so capable, what is it that you need to remind him of?"

Fan Mingyu suddenly laughed, "Of course he is. No matter how capable he is, can he be capable in every aspect? Besides, he comes from a small mountain village. How many people has he met? He did me a great favor, so I can't just stand by and do nothing."

"So, what exactly did you remind him of?"

"Well..." Fan Mingyu looked around and, seeing that there weren't many classmates around, whispered, "Be careful of Xu Feifei. She already has a fiancé, yet she still wants to cling to Shang Lin. Is she trying to harm him?"

Zhou Heng paused, "Aren't you overthinking it? How come I didn't find anything?"

Fan Mingyu didn't care about being questioned. "I hope so!" As for Xu Feifei getting close to Shang Lin, he hoped he was overthinking it.

Perhaps because of his father's philandering, Fan Mingyu is particularly sensitive about matters of the heart. Moreover, although he and Shang Lin are both busy with their own lives, they inevitably keep an eye on each other.

But Zhou Heng wasn't interested in either Shang Lin or Xu Feifei, so he turned to Fan Mingyu and asked, "Has your family's business really stabilized?"

"Yes! Otherwise, how could I concentrate on my studies? But business is tough these days, and I'm planning to sell the company when the opportunity arises, just like my mom said."

"Sell it?!" Zhou Heng asked, puzzled. "Then what are you going to do with it?"

"Do something else, something with low investment and high returns..."

Zhou Heng quickly called for a halt, "Stop! The kind of business you're talking about is covered under the Criminal Law. Do you want to put your life on the line?"

Fan Mingyu suddenly smiled brightly, "You're overthinking it. I'm not stupid. Why would I give up a bright future to ruin myself? Besides, if I sell the company, I can live a comfortable life without doing anything. I just want to make some serious plans."

Zhou Heng really wanted to ask, "Since you wanted to sell the company, why didn't you sell it before? Why did you make yourself look so miserable?"

But thinking about it, if Fan Mingyu had sold the company back then, he probably wouldn't have gotten a good price. After all, a company on the verge of bankruptcy and a thriving company are two completely different things.

So I just said, "It's good that you know what I'm doing."

After speaking, he looked at Fan Mingyu seriously again and felt that he had really matured a lot compared to before, but the price of this maturity was a bit high.

To be fair, although Fan Mingyu's father was a womanizer, he treated his son very well and didn't give him a younger brother or sister, so all the family property belonged to him.

Fan Mingyu then asked, "By the way, where's Xiao Fu? Why aren't you two together?"

They usually eat together, whether on or off campus. Today, he had something to discuss with Shang Lin, so he ate out alone.

Zhou Heng replied, "He went to the cafeteria to eat. I waited for you to bring me food back. It's cold outside, so it's a bit chilly."

Fan Mingyu suddenly said seriously, "Don't worry, I will take good care of myself and study and live my life seriously."

"Okay, that's good."

Fu Xinyu returned just then. Seeing that they were all there, he immediately came over and asked in a low voice, "Do you know anything about Cheng Qiao's background?"

Fan Mingyu and Zhou Heng looked at each other, then shook their heads in unison. Fu Xinyu said with some disappointment, "Sigh, I don't know either."

Zhou Heng asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Fu Xinyu looked around, then at the front and back doors of the classroom, before whispering, "He actually had his phone with him and was making calls openly, talking about an auction, acting like a domineering CEO."

Cell phones are prohibited on campus, but some students do bring them secretly. However, no one uses them openly; they use them discreetly in their dorm rooms or other secluded places.

Fan Mingyu and his friends had their phones with them before, but they didn't make calls openly, and they even acted like domineering CEOs. However, Zhou Heng said, "Cheng Qiao is a special talent student, so he should have some privileges, right?"

Fu Xinyu suddenly nodded in agreement, "That's right, after all, his specialty is basketball, which requires training."

When basketball was mentioned, Fan Mingyu suddenly thought of the basketball that Shang Lin caught during a previous PE class. He wondered how much force Shang Lin had used, as it left finger marks on the ball.

If he were a little stronger, could he have crushed that basketball? Anyone who didn't know better would think he'd practiced some kind of bone-claw technique. Wait, what happened to the basketball? It disappeared without a trace. Nobody knew anything about it.

One by one, the students returned, and Fan Mingyu and his two companions also returned to their respective seats. They had been working hard lately, so they hadn't paid attention to anyone in the class.

Fan Mingyu had played basketball with Cheng Qiao before and thought he was indeed a professional and very skilled, but that was all. However, after Fu Xinyu's comment, Fan Mingyu decided to take a closer look.

Unfortunately, Cheng Qiao was the last one to return to the classroom today. I don't know if he was engrossed in his phone call or if the teacher caught him. So, like his classmates, Fan Mingyu subconsciously glanced at the last student to enter before burying himself in his studies again.

Little did anyone know that there was another invisible figure in the classroom today, watching everyone intently with a deep gaze!
