Liu Wenzhou and Tang Xiaoshuang froze, both looking at their daughter at the same time.
They found that their daughter's expression remained completely unchanged, and they realized that their daughter must have known about this all along.
The atmosphere at the meal was a bit awkward. The four adults chatted back and forth, while the three students didn't say much.
Just as the group fell silent, Liu Qianxue suddenly placed a piece of meat on Xu Xiu's plate, saying, "This is your favorite."
Xu Xiu politely said, "Thank you."
Then he handed the piece of meat to Xiao Ruoyan without hesitation.
Fearing that Xiao Ruoyan would be embarrassed, Fang Xueting addressed the crowd directly, saying, "My son's cooking skills are alright, aren't they?"
"How can you call this passable? It's cooked very well, much better than some restaurants."
Tang Xiaoshuang pointed to the dishes on the table and said with a smile.
"Old Liu and I will be coming to bother you quite often from now on."
"What are you saying? As long as it's a holiday, just say the word if you want to come and eat, and I'll have this brat on standby anytime."
Seeing his mother speaking with such conviction, Xu Xiu rubbed his temples.
After dinner, the four adults said they would go shopping together, leaving the three young people to arrange their own activities.
Xu Xiu felt that being alone at home with two beautiful women was quite risky, and that he might easily get burned if he wasn't careful.
So I also suggest going out shopping together, just not with your parents.
Liu Qianxue and Xiao Ruoyan also thought the suggestion was good. The two of them were quite awkward sitting there. Although they were high school classmates, they hadn't spoken more than two words in the past three years.
They took a taxi directly to the mall, and they had all drunk some alcohol.
The mall was packed with people. The Lantern Festival was still over and many people were still on holiday. Xu Xiu walked in the middle, with two beautiful women on his left and right.
Although they weren't holding hands, Liu Qianxue and Xiao Ruoyan on either side consciously moved closer to Xu Xiu.
Passersby turned their heads to look, and some boys stared wide-eyed, including those with girlfriends beside them. However, the consequences after being discovered were quite tragic.
When they get home, they'll probably be kneeling on durians as a first offense, not on keyboards.
Today, because we had dinner together, all three of us dressed up, so not only the boys but also many girls cast admiring glances our way.
However, Liu Qianxue deflected many gazes, her aura of "keep away" immediately bursting forth.
Xu Xiu glanced at his left and right protectors, feeling somewhat helpless. He wanted to hold Hanhan's hand, but he was afraid of upsetting Liu Qianxue. Although he didn't care, he still had to give his parents some face.
If Liu Qianxue goes back and throws a tantrum, it's probably his parents who will suffer; he himself doesn't care at all.
Therefore, Xu Xiu could only resort to a compromise: he stood shoulder to shoulder with Hanhan, trying to stay as far away from Liu Qianxue as possible.
Liu Qianxue had already noticed Xu Xiu's actions, but she didn't care. Maintaining a proper distance from her was the Xu Xiu she admired.
The two arrived at a women's clothing store. The sales clerk was initially taken aback when she saw the two beautiful women and the handsome man. As a salesperson with extensive experience in dealing with people, she could clearly sense that the relationship between the three was unusual.
Xu Xiu let the two beauties choose clothes, while he was responsible for admiring them and paying for them.
Now, Xiao Ruoyan is no longer timid and submissive in this situation; instead, she acts with grace and poise. It's impossible for her not to mind some of Liu Qianxue's actions.
Love is inherently selfish, unless you don't care about the other person at all.
While Xu Xiu was waiting in the store for the two beautiful women to try on clothes, the group chat for dormitory 203 on his phone started buzzing.

"......"
"Everyone, please help me decide what clothes would look good on my Yun'er?"
Pang Wenjun has already gone to Han Yun's place and even went shopping with her. He posted a few photos of Han Yun trying on clothes and bragged about it in the group chat, claiming it was to help her with her advice.
"Emoji.jpg" Get lost!
Xiao Xu directly expressed his disdain in the group chat.
"Image, jpg" Two cups of milk tea.
Wen Zhicai also posted a photo, showing two different hands holding milk tea, the meaning of which is self-evident.
Xiao Xu couldn't stand the two of them anymore and started making sarcastic remarks in the group chat.
Du Yuanyuan hadn't even finished paying her New Year's respects, so how could she have time to go on a date with Xiao Xu?
Seeing that Xu Xiu hadn't said anything in the group chat, several people tagged him.
"how?"
Xu Xiu replied with a sentence.
"Old Xu, what are you doing?"
"Busy counting money?"
Pang Wenjun and Xiao Xu kept asking questions in the group chat.
"image,jpg"

"......."
After sending out a dozen or so pictures, the group went silent.
If it weren't for the fact that it was his brother's woman, and that he himself had a girlfriend, both Pang Wenjun and Xiao Xu would have wanted to save the photo and use it as their phone wallpaper.
When Xu Xiu helped her choose clothes, he gave her a lot of advice, as most girls have difficulty making choices.
The shop assistant, listening to his comments on the garment's cut and fabric, knew he had encountered a fellow shop assistant.
Xiao Ruoyan is good at putting together outfits, but when it comes to buying clothes for herself, her mind goes completely blank.
Fortunately, her boyfriend wasn't like other guys who would just say things like "this looks good" or "that looks good."
As for Liu Qianxue, she is very opinionated. She only takes Xu Xiu's opinions as a reference, and the final decision is still her own.
After buying the clothes, Xu Xiu took the two to a dessert shop for desserts, while he went to a nearby milk tea shop to buy milk tea.
After Xu Xiu left, the smiles of the two girls gradually faded.
"Ruoyan, I really envy you."
"I really want to steal your man, but I know that if it's him, no matter how hard I try, it will probably be in vain."
"Qianxue, actually I was also confused at first. I was a little at a loss about his sudden feelings."
"At first I thought..."
Before Xiao Ruoyan could finish speaking, Liu Qianxue interrupted her.
"At first you thought he was getting revenge on me?"
Xiao Ruoyan nodded silently.
"Ruoyan, you're overthinking it. He's not that kind of person. I know him, and that's why I'm so heartbroken. I know I've lost him forever."
"Being friends with him is my last hope. If I go any further, he might not even want to be friends with me anymore."
Xiao Ruoyan knew all too well the feeling of loving someone you couldn't have.
Just as the two were silent, Xu Xiu returned carrying two cups of milk tea.
"What are you talking about? You look so serious."
"We were talking about how to steal men..."
Liu Qianxue spoke frankly.
I can't respond to that...
Xu Xiu put down his milk tea and silently sat down next to Xiao Ruoyan, looking as if he was afraid of being kidnapped.
Liu Qianxue crossed her arms and continued in a cold voice:
"Xu Xiu, I told Ruoyan that from now on, in your heart, she will be number one and I will be number two. She will be your girlfriend, your future wife, and I will be your best female friend."
Xu Xiu turned his head and looked at Xiao Ruoyan with an incredulous expression, only to find that she did not refute him.
"Qianxue... there's no such thing as pure friendship between men and women."
Xu Xiu spoke cautiously.
"There is no such thing as pure friendship, but we can all just pretend to be crazy and stupid."
"Besides, if you truly love Ruoyan, how could you possibly do anything to betray her?"
