Ji Qingqian turned around, her eyes sparkling with joy:
"Hey, I forgot my phone..."
Lu Yibei brainstormed the meaning behind that sentence.
And what might have happened just now.
He looked at the man who was scrutinizing him, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets for a moment.
Although he quickly composed himself, Lu Yibei still caught his expression.
"Senior Lu, what are you doing here?"
Chu Chu asked, but she didn't want an answer. Having just been tricked by that cunning man, she immediately started complaining to an elder: "That senior wants to be friends with us, but when he added Qingqian on WeChat, she said she didn't have her phone. Why don't you add her for Qingqian? It doesn't matter who you add, and boys are usually easier to talk to—"
As she spoke, she raised an eyebrow at the boy over there:
"Don't you think so?"
"…Yeah yeah."
The boy could only smile and nod. Even though he had no interest in Lu Yibei, he had no choice but to admit it now.
Lu Yibei nodded:
"I'll scan your QR code."
"Um."
While scanning the QR code, Lu Yibei asked Zheng Yi, whose gaze was lingering on him, "Zheng Yi... classmate, right? Is this your friend?"
“Yes.” Zheng Yi smiled and nodded.
Lu Yibei hummed in agreement, but then glanced at Zheng Yi.
"Let me confirm first, are you really Zheng Yi?"
Zheng Yi was a little puzzled and asked in return, "Who else could I be?"
"Was it you and Ma Jiaojiao that I ran into at the dormitory entrance before?" Lu Yibei asked again.
“…Yes.” Zheng Yi nodded.
"That's all."
Lu Yibei laughed and said, "I thought I had mistaken you for someone else... Since you were the one talking to me that day, how could something like this happen?"
What I mean is, this guy who asked for your WeChat is your friend, didn't you tell your friend that Ji Qingqian has a boyfriend?
Zheng Yi narrowed his eyes, but he did not answer.
"Is your memory too bad?" Lu Yibei asked with a smile.
Zheng Yi shrugged and said, "Let's be friends, Lu... don't be so sensitive."
He didn't remember Lu Yibei's name.
"Would you mind if I became your friend?"
As Lu Yibei spoke, he took a seat next to Zheng Yi.
Chen Guang and Wu Sheng on the other side were dumbfounded.
…No, bro, weren't you out to eat with us?
Then Wu Sheng realized something was wrong, and he said somewhat uncertainly:
"The atmosphere is a bit stiff."
"It's obvious that the guy across the street has a crush on School Beauty Ji, and Brother Lu is confronting him," Chen Guang said calmly.
"No, how do you know so much detail?" Wu Sheng asked.
Chen Guang remained indifferent:
"If I didn't know that Brother Lu was School Beauty Ji's boyfriend, I would have fallen for him by now—I actually got him!?"
Wu Sheng: ...
"Something feels off; a fight might break out," Chen Guang said.
"Should we help?" Wu Sheng asked.
Chen Guang hesitated.
After all, fighting outside of school is not a good thing. At best, you'll be criticized by the school; at worst, you'll be taken away by the police.
But Brother Lu is a pleasant-speaking and witty person, and he can even carry them to victory in basketball. Although they've only known each other for a few hours, Chen Guang feels like they're already friends. He gritted his teeth with difficulty:
"Help Brother Lu!"
“…Okay,” Wu Sheng said.
“But we have to wait for the other party to make the first move.” Chen Guang added, “After that, no matter what happens, we will insist that we are not familiar with Brother Lu and that we were just doing a good deed.”
"What the hell? That's so despicable!" Wu Sheng said disdainfully. "But I like it..."
The bench wasn't long, and it was already a bit cramped for three big men. With Lu Yibei being so tall, he was practically shoulder to shoulder with them, making it impossible for them to move.
Zheng Yi glanced at Lu Yibei, then looked at the boy beside him who had a cold smile on his face.
Although Lu Yibei said he was just making friends, his attitude was questioning Zheng Yi.
Moreover, they put their words into action—if they don't give a satisfactory explanation, you can forget about enjoying this meal.
Zheng Yi did not answer Lu Yibei, and the atmosphere remained tense.
Zheng Yi was leaning towards "letting Lu Yibei sit down as well," so that at least they wouldn't have to fall out with the latter, and it would look better on the surface.
But Lu Yibei didn't let him answer easily. He said to Ji Qingqian in a low voice:
"Check your pants pockets and see if you've stuffed your phone in there."
Ji Qingqian didn't understand why Abei wanted to expose her lie.
But he must have his reasons for saying that.
She reached into her pocket, and of course, her phone was inside.
Lu Yibei asked again, "Are you there?"
Ji Qingqian nodded: "Yes."
Lu Yibei then said to the boy on Zheng Yi's side, "Sorry, my girlfriend is always so-so, I hope you don't find this funny—do you still want to add her?"
The boy's face turned extremely gloomy.
If Ji Qingqian had shown him some face earlier, then Lu Yibei's decision to make her take out her phone again was tantamount to stripping away that face.
Lu Yibei asked again, "Do you want to add more?"
Chu Chu was a little dumbfounded; she felt the atmosphere was somewhat sharp.
Although she hadn't had much interaction with Senior Lu, his image in her mind had always been as warm and gentle as a spring breeze.
But this isn't a spring breeze at all; it's more like an extremely low pressure system formed before a super typhoon hits.
Chu Chu even suspected that if that boy stubbornly insisted on adding more food, Senior Lu would shove the plate into his mouth!
That's a bit scary...
And all of this was caused by her tattling.
