"Have you eaten yet?"
"not yet."
Xu Xiu shared half of his breakfast with her. The student upstairs asked his roommate next door, "Do you think these two are in a boss and secretary relationship?"
"Why do I feel like I'm being fed dog food first thing in the morning?"
"Me too!"
+1
The two ate breakfast on their way to class, walking about a fist's distance apart, with a kind of awkwardness like that of early-stage romance.
They approach each other but don't lean on each other, always maintaining a suitable distance.
On the way, Xu Xiu asked, "Is there any club you'd like to join?"
"I don't want to join any clubs."
"Why?"
Social anxiety.
Upon hearing Xiao Ruoyan's new words, Xu Xiu also felt that this simpleton was slowly beginning to integrate into the big family of society.
"What if you come with me?"
Go ahead!
"Will you overcome social anxiety if you come with me?"
Xu Xiu asked with a smile.
"Yes, because it was a task assigned by the boss."
"That's a good excuse," Xu Xiu thought to himself.
Have you called home recently?
"We call each other every day, and we chat for a long time."
Xiao Ruoyan lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly, because Xu Xiu said that she would call for a while every day without charge, and she would also have long phone conversations with her mother and grandfather when she had free time.
Xu Xiu didn't need to ask to know; the phone bill didn't lie.
"Is everything alright at home?"
"Yes, Mom and Grandpa are both doing well, and I send money back home every month."
The two had unknowingly arrived at Xu Xiu's classroom. The classroom was never full, so Xiao Ruoyan always had a seat.
If there aren't two seats next to each other, other students will give up their seats, and the teacher is used to it.
During class, Xu Xiu stared at the blackboard, while Xiao Ruoyan mostly lay on the desk, looking at him from the side.
Xu Xiu didn't mind if she wanted to watch; he could watch it back later.
After class that evening, Xiao Ruoyan and her roommates agreed to meet at the school gate, and Xu Xiu said he would drive them there.
As soon as they arrived at the school gate, they ran into Yang Hong from the design department. He had been secretly pursuing Xiao Ruoyan, but he never dared to pursue her openly.
He heard that guys who openly confessed their feelings for her all inexplicably gave up in the end, all giving the same reason: they weren't good enough for her.
Without even a second thought, it must have been Xu Xiu's doing.
Yang Hong's family is well-off and he drives an Audi TT. He learned from Xiao Ruoyan's roommate that they were going to a popular hot pot restaurant today, and he decided to shamelessly go with them.
I saw Xiao Ruoyan and her roommate walk out together, followed by this year's top scorer.
Yang Hong stepped forward and greeted them politely, "Ladies, are you going to xx restaurant for hot pot? I'm just on my way there, anyone want a ride?"
Xu Xiu frowned when he heard Yang Hong's words from behind. Du Yuanyuan felt disgusted by this senior, who kept asking her about Ruoyan, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
She turned to Xu Xiu and asked, "Does the academic genius have a car?"
"There's a car."
"What kind of car? Can the four of us girls fit in it?"
"There's enough room for everyone, including this senior student. My car is a big minivan."
Hearing Xu Xiu's words, Yang Hong's eyes revealed a hint of disdain.
Xiao Ruoyan knew that Xu Xiu had a large van for hauling goods; they had taken this van when they came to the school last time, so there was nothing surprising about it.
Du Yuanyuan, An Yi, and Ai Wenxiu are not the kind of people who are materialistic and snobbish, so Xu Xiu thinks that Hanhan is very lucky to have roommates with very positive values.
Everyone refused and prepared to follow Xu Xiu to the parking lot to get the car.
At this moment, Yang Hong, with his thick eyelids, said, "Alright, I'll lead the way. I know that shop well."
Xu Xiu didn't object and nodded with a smile.
When the group arrived at the parking lot, Xiao Ruoyan looked left and right but couldn't see the van. At this moment, Xu Xiu stopped in front of a large white van.
Then she gently touched the electric sliding door, and the electric door in the back slowly opened. Du Yuanyuan immediately took out her phone and took a picture. After searching online, she was amazed to find out that this was a luxury MPV business vehicle worth over a million yuan.
Several girls, who didn't know much about cars, looked incredulous. Du Yuanyuan whispered a few words in their ears, and their expressions became very strange.
Xiao Ruoyan stayed where she was and didn't dare to get into the car. The new car was so clean inside, and it even had a floor.
"Boss, would you like to take off your shoes?"
"Stop talking and get on with it."
As soon as Xiao Ruoyan was scolded, she obediently got into the car. Du Yuanyuan and the others followed her into the car, which still smelled a bit like a new car.
Looking up, they saw that the car roof was a starry sky ceiling. Xiao Ruoyan and Du Yuanyuan were sitting in the second row, saying that they would give it to An Yi and Ai Wenxiu when they returned.
After Xu Xiu got into the car, he turned on the TV in the back and let them choose what they wanted to watch.
Then he explained how to adjust the chair back massage function, which made the two people in the third row very envious.
As Yang Hong drove out of the parking lot, he looked left and right but didn't see any vans. He only saw an Alphard, which made his eyes widen in amazement.
The car stopped right in front of him, and Xu Xiu rolled down the window and asked, "Senior, want to ride with me? That way we won't have to drive."
Just as Yang Hong hesitated, Du Yuanyuan opened the second row window and repeated Xu Xiu's words.
Yang Hong gritted his teeth and said loudly, "Then I'll trouble you, junior. Wait a moment while I park the car in the parking lot."
Xu Xiu pulled the car over to the side of the road, turned on the hazard lights, and waited. Yang Hong arrived shortly after, and Xu Xiu asked him to sit in the passenger seat.
Xu Xiu drove along using the navigation on the car's large screen, while Yang Hong remained silent. The four girls in the back watched TV and occasionally burst into laughter.
Upon arriving at the popular hot pot restaurant, there was a parking lot outside. The security guard saw Xu Xiu's car and came up to ask if he needed help parking. The restaurant staff also immediately came out to greet him.
Since someone helped him park the car, Xu Xiu was too lazy to do it himself and got out of the car. Xiao Ruoyan wanted to get out of the car but didn't know how to open the door.
Xu Xiu went around to the door to open it for her, and then offered her his hand for her to hold.
Xiao Ruoyan wanted to refuse, but a pair of large hands grabbed hers. She had no choice but to bite the bullet and go next time. With so many roommates watching, her face was burning hot.
Du Yuanyuan, standing to the side, wondered if she was seeing things. Who was the boss?
Yang Hong was also puzzled. Wasn't it said that Xiao Ruoyan was Xu Xiu's secretary?
The waiter smiled even more broadly when he saw the two handsome young men with four beautiful women; they were obviously big customers.
Following the waiter to the reserved private room, Yang Hong said that he was also there to eat, but he didn't even make a reservation.
Embarrassed, Yang Hong followed Xu Xiu into the private room, where several girls looked at him with puzzlement.
"My friend said he couldn't come today because of something, so I'll treat everyone to dinner today."
Yang Hong found a reason to speak.
Xiao Ruoyan didn't actually want to eat here. She'd heard it was quite expensive, so Du Yuanyuan and the others suggested a few places to eat for her to choose from. But she didn't know how to choose. So she just sent all the suggestions to Xu Xiu and let him decide for himself.
In the end, Xu Xiu chose this one.
"Thank you, Senior Yang."
Xu Xiu, who was ordering food, spoke up without any intention of being polite.
Xiao Ruoyan chuckled to herself, knowing that Xu Xiu was up to something again.
She didn't know why, but she really liked his bad boy look.
