"..." Xie Lang was stunned.

Jiang Jingwen grinned and said, "Qin Ming is also a fan of the 'Jing Jin Going to the Exam' couple. Do you want to join us?"

"...Huh?" Xie Lang wasn't very active online and was somewhat surprised by the existence of CP fans. "They actually have CP fans?"

“Yes!” Jiang Jingwen said to him very seriously, “They not only have CP fans, but the number of CP fans is huge! I created several CP fan groups on Weibo, and now four are full.”

Xie Lang: "What's the maximum number of people a fan group can have?"

Jiang Jingwen held up her index finger: "One thousand."

"Wow..." Xie Lang exclaimed in surprise, "They actually have so many fans who ship them as a couple."

Jiang Jingwen: "Yes!"

"So, would you like to consider joining us? We're having a special event in our fan group right now, and new members will receive a surprise gift!"

Xie Lang raised an eyebrow: "What surprise gift?"

Jiang Jingwen feigned mystery, keeping everyone in suspense: "Why don't you join the group and you'll find out?"

"..." Xie Lang thought for a moment, then took out his phone, "How do I join this fan group?"

Jiang Jingwen: "I'll teach you!"

She leaned closer to Xie Lang and patiently taught him how to join the Weibo fan group. Once she was sure he was in, she sent him a surprise gift package as an administrator.

"Thank you." Xie Lang happily accepted the gift package and then opened it.

"..."

"What...what is this?" he asked, pointing to the few gold coins in the gift bag, looking completely bewildered.

Jiang Jingwen: "This is a large South African gold coin."

Xie Lang: "What is its purpose?"

Jiang Jingwen shook her head: "No."

"..." Xie Lang was speechless. "Why did you send it to me if it didn't work?"

Jiang Jingwen, with her eyes wide open, blurted out, "A surprise gift package, the main point is the surprise."

"..." Xie Lang glanced at her, not wanting to talk to her.

"Admit it, you just tricked me into joining the group!"

Jiang Jingwen retorted defiantly, "Why are you spouting such obvious truths?!"

"Hmph..." Xie Lang didn't want to pay attention to her.

She turned to Qin Ming on the other side and said, "Qin Dayong, I've added another person to the group!"

Qin Ming gave her a thumbs up: "Great job, I give you a thumbs up!"

"What are you liking?" Zhu Jinzhao leaned back and suddenly cut between Qin Ming and Jiang Jingwen.

Qin Ming: "We're discussing something important, kids shouldn't ask questions!"

"Oh." Zhu Jinzhao nodded in agreement first, then asked, "Who is Qin Dayong?"

Qin Ming: "...Me."

"Huh?" Zhu Jinzhao was surprised. "Why are you called Qin Dayong? Is this your new name?"

Qin Ming squinted and smiled slightly: "Yes, this is my new name. Little Jiang also has a new name, would you like to hear it?"

"Great!" Zhu Jinzhao sat up straight instantly. "What's Jiang Jiang's new name?"

Qin Ming ignored Jiang Jingwen's death threats and told Zhu Jinzhao her new name.

"Jiang Dahu".

"..." Zhu Jinzhao's lips twitched involuntarily twice, and then began to curl upwards uncontrollably.

"Don't laugh!" Jiang Jingwen snapped.

Zhu Jinzhao pursed her lips tightly: "I didn't laugh."

"Why are you being so fierce, Jiang Dahu?" Shi Jing suddenly appeared and even jumped hard on Jiang Jingwen's sensitive spot.

Jiang Jingwen gritted her teeth angrily: "Little Blackie, you're not allowed to call me Jiang Dahu!"

"Why, Jiang Dahu?" Xie Lang seized the opportunity to retaliate. "Jiang Dahu is such a cute name, why can't we call ourselves that?"

"That's right!" Qin Ming chimed in, adding fuel to the fire.

Xie Lang launched an indiscriminate attack: "Qin Dayong, how are you doing after just a few minutes?"

Qin Ming pouted: "..."

"Hahahaha!" Jiang Jingwen laughed at him unrestrainedly.

When she smiled, everyone else smiled along with her.

The dinner table was filled with laughter and cheerful conversation, and Zhu Jinzhao felt very lively and happy.

Halfway through the meal, Ning Shi suddenly put down her chopsticks and whispered, "Oh no."

"What's wrong?" Zhu Jinzhao turned his head to look at her.

She raised her hand to touch her nose, and said in a low voice, "I think my period has started..."

"Huh?" Zhu Jinzhao was stunned for a moment, then immediately picked up his bag and stuffed it into Ning Shi's hand. "I have it in my bag, go to the toilet quickly."

Ning Shi: "Come with me."

Zhu Jinzhao put down his chopsticks and readily agreed, "Okay."

“Jiang Dahu too.” Ning Shi grabbed Jiang Jingwen’s hand.

Jiang Jingwen took out a toothbrush to wipe her mouth and softly hummed in agreement.

The three of them then left the room and went to the restroom.

"Whoosh—"

The sound of flushing water came from the stall. Jiang Jingwen asked while tying her hair, "Are you sure it's my period?"

"No." Ning Shi pushed open the door of the cubicle and walked out with a relieved look on her face. "It was just my imagination. My period hasn't come yet."

“But I reckon it’ll be soon.” Zhu Jinzhao took her bag back from her. “This kind of illusion usually only happens before your period. You should carry sanitary napkins with you during this time, so that it doesn’t catch you off guard.”

"Understood." Ning Shi winked at her and walked over to wash her hands.

After washing their hands, the three of them walked outside together again.

This restroom is part of the restaurant; after exiting it and walking through a short corridor, you'll reach the restaurant's inner dining area.

Zhu Jinzhao kept her head down and walked forward. Just as she was about to reach the inner hall, she suddenly heard a familiar male voice coming from ahead.

"This restaurant is particularly famous in the south, and some of its signature dishes are the savory and fragrant flavors that Mr. Zhu likes. Since this is Mr. Zhu's first time here, you should definitely try their food. If Mr. Zhu likes it, I will have their chef come to your home tomorrow to cook a few more dishes for you."

"Thank you for your trouble. Let me try it first."

"Alright! This way, Mr. Zhu!"

"Wait!" Zhu Jinzhao stopped in his tracks without warning.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Jingwen and Ning Shi asked, looking puzzled.

"Their home's decor is quite interesting."

A male voice suddenly appeared at the exit of the corridor. Zhu Jinzhao looked up in surprise and saw several men in suits walking slowly past her.

"Mr. Zhu, our private room is over here."

Surrounded by people, Zhu Xingye nodded slightly: "Mm."

"..."

Zhu Jinzhao's mind went blank for 0.001 seconds, and then suddenly a huge wave of emotions surged up.

"Run!" Without thinking too much, she turned around and pushed Jiang Jingwen and Ning Shi back to the bathroom in a panic.

"Hey... what's going on?" Jiang Jingwen didn't know what had happened, and still had a silly smile on her face.

Ning Shi laughed too: "What's wrong, Chaochao? Did you forget to go to the bathroom just now?"

Zhu Jinchao had a blank face, his face completely devoid of color.

“I…I saw my older brother.”
