Soon, Chen Lu followed Jiang Chao to a nearby hot pot restaurant.

Seeing how crowded the place was, Chen Lu was even more certain that everyone had booked a table here in advance to celebrate for him.

Because when guys eat together, they usually just grab something from a roadside food stall.

Surely no guy can only go out for hot pot with his male friends, right?

Chen Lu looked somewhat lost, completely oblivious to the noise around him.

Unfortunately, I didn't succeed.

Seeing their two other roommates, Zheng Haoyu and Li Sinian, waving at them from a distance, the two of them sat down.

Everyone refrained from mentioning what had happened that day.

This is an unspoken understanding among men; when no one knows how to persuade someone, they will raise their glasses again and again.

After a while, Chen Lu heard the Canon ringtone. He glanced at his phone and his heart skipped a beat when he saw who was calling.

It's impossible that he changed his mind and decided to accept the confession after much consideration.

She probably thought I would continue to be her friend...

Chen Lu knew that as long as he answered the phone now, he could stay by Mo Yuqing's side as before and watch her beautiful figure, as bright as the moon.

Nothing happened today.

But I really don't want to take it anymore.

I'm really tired...

"Hey, that girl with the low ponytail, the waitress, what score would you give her?"

"I can't see her whole body because she's wearing a mask, her clothes are so unfashionable, and her bangs are so long. Although her figure is okay, I can only give her five points." Jiang Tao lit a cigarette and said to himself.

After hearing this, Chen Lu said with a look of disgust, "You're so boring."

He then silently hung up the phone and glanced at the incredibly busy figure.

The girl didn't look very old, and she was less than 1.7 meters tall. Perhaps because it was hot in the hot pot restaurant, she was only wearing a white T-shirt and jeans. The pattern on the T-shirt had even faded quite a bit from washing, and the jeans were also washed until they were almost white.

Although her clothes were very ordinary, they still couldn't hide her curvaceous figure. However, her bangs were really long, and she always walked with her head down. It seems that Jiang Chao's five points were all for her figure.

The girl's ponytail swayed as she walked around, looking both capable and ordinary.

Judging from their diligent and hardworking manner, they seem to be college students working part-time.

Jiang Chao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Chen Lu hang up the phone, and his tone became much more relaxed, as if what he had just said was just to distract himself. "What's wrong with giving a score? I'd smile and say thank you even if someone gave me two points. I'm not hypocritical at all! Besides, I just helped an old lady cross the street yesterday. I'm a really good guy, okay?"

Chen Lu didn't want to say anything more about the topic, so he simply turned off his phone and drank a glass of wine alone.

Pressing the side button on the phone shouldn't have been difficult, but Chen Lu felt like he had used a lot of effort.

This is the first time I haven't answered your call.

Even though you've hung up on me countless times.

Sometimes, the reason for not answering the phone is simply that they are in a bad mood.

...

"Why won't he answer?!" Mo Yuqing complained, her eyes brimming with tears, biting her lower lip as her slender fingers fiddled with the screen. "I rejected him before! Why won't he answer my calls this time? What's wrong with being friends? Wasn't it great the way we were before?"

Her roommate and best friend, Liu Yan, was looking at her with a helpless expression.

For a moment I was mesmerized by her beauty; she was so stunning that even her tantrums were pleasing to the eye.

This made them somewhat understand why people would light beacon fires to amuse their lords.

"Even when I argued with my parents, he would still answer my phone at 2 a.m.... I need to ask him about it!"

After saying that, Mo Yuqing hurriedly changed out of her lace-trimmed nightgown and put on her clothes, not caring about her messy hair as she headed out.

Just as she grasped the doorknob, her roommates all thought she had finally figured it out.

Mo Yuqing came back and sat on the bed, puffing out her cheeks.

"I'm not going to actively contact someone who doesn't answer my calls!"

Although she had been trying to persuade her ever since Mo Yuqing returned to the dormitory, Liu Yan still sat down next to her again, put her hand on her shoulder, and said:

"Yuqing, let me give you one last piece of advice, okay? If you like him, it's not too late to regret it now. Chen Lu has been pursuing you for seven whole years. Just look at what's happened since I met you. Every day you call him, he brings you food, no matter the time of day. My boyfriend never makes me brown sugar ginger tea during my period, but you always do."

Besides him, what other guy can cook all the dishes you love? He learned them all for you.

On the surface, you are the class monitor, but he handles most of the things for you.

Even if you're used to it, not everyone receives "good morning" and "good night" messages on time every day, right?

and......"

Liu Yan thought about it, but still didn't say the words, "You can't live without him."

Even if girls are close, they still need to be careful about their words. After all, she is Mo Yuqing's best friend, not Chen Lu's. What she said just now was already enough to show that she was siding with someone outside the family.

Although she didn't say it, she firmly believed in that statement.

At the beginning of the semester, Mo Yuqing was out of place with the rest of the dormitory due to misunderstandings caused by her personality.

Later, through Chen Lu's efforts to mediate, the remaining three girls in the dormitory began to get along well with her, which is how she and Mo Yuqing eventually became so close.
