Seeing Chen Chongshan's changing emotions, Yuan Yuan chuckled and replied, "It's the weekend today. My roommates and I are having a get-together tonight. Why don't you come with me?"
"ah?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Chongshan paused for a moment, then awkwardly scratched his head: "Going to your classmate reunion? Is that alright?"
What do you think?
Yuan Yuan raised an eyebrow: "If you don't like it, you don't have to go."
"I'll go, I'll go."
Seeing Yuan Yuan turn hostile, Chen Chongshan hurriedly nodded and replied repeatedly. His anxious and embarrassed appearance made Yuan Yuan laugh again, while Chen Chongming, who was on the side, had already fallen asleep on the bed laughing.
………………
Although Yuan Yuan made it sound casual, saying it was just a weekend get-together with her dorm mates, and that they all brought their boyfriends along, Chen Chongshan still seemed a little nervous. They all brought their boyfriends, so if Yuan Yuan brought him along, it meant that he was Yuan Yuan's boyfriend.
Chen Chongshan was somewhat excited. Although the two of them had maintained their initial feelings for each other, they had never taken the plunge. Now, it seemed that Yuan Yuan was ready to go public.
The two left the hospital at 5 p.m. and went straight to the dinner party location.
The dinner was held at a pretty good restaurant in Tanzhou City. Although the group of students were still students, most of the students at Tanzhou Normal University, a prestigious university, came from very well-off families, so they certainly wouldn't skimp on themselves for an occasional get-together.
Traffic in Tanzhou is not very good. After 5 p.m., it gets very congested, whether it's a weekend or a weekday. Even though the two of them set off early, they were still more than ten minutes late. After Yuan Yuan received several calls urging them to hurry up, the two of them finally rushed to the restaurant.
Inside a rather spacious private room, seven people—three women and four men—were sitting. After Yuan Yuan and Chen Chongshan pushed open the door, the well-dressed young men and women were clearly taken aback, and all their eyes turned to Chen Chongshan.
Yuan Yuan's gaze swept over the three couples at the table, and when it landed on the last boy sitting alone, she paused for a moment, her expression changed, and she looked at the girls with some suspicion before leading Chen Chongshan into the private room.
"Yuan Yuan, why are you so late? We've been waiting for you for over ten minutes."
A round-faced girl of average looks was the first to speak.
"Sorry, there was traffic on the way, so I'm late," Yuan Yuan replied with a smile.
Before the three girls could reply, the boy sitting alone spoke first, with a slight chuckle, "It's okay. The road conditions in Tanzhou have never been very good, so I often don't want to drive."
"Hmm." Yuan Yuan responded indifferently, but her eyes swept sternly over the faces of the three girls.
Sensing Yuan Yuan's gaze, the three girls seemed a little embarrassed. The round-faced girl smiled awkwardly and looked at Chen Chongshan: "Yuan Yuan, aren't you going to introduce him? And who is this?"
"His name is Chen Chongshan. He is my high school classmate and also my boyfriend."
Yuan Yuan looked a little uneasy, but she introduced herself generously. Chen Chongshan was startled by Yuan Yuan's frankness, but he quickly calmed down.
He and Yuan Yuan were already boyfriend and girlfriend, and Yuan Yuan's introduction was correct. Although he was caught off guard by this confession, Chen Chongshan had been hanging out with Xu Jiaming for a long time and had developed some social skills. He quickly calmed down and began to greet everyone in the room one by one.
"Boy friend?"
Yuan Yuan's introduction surprised and astonished everyone present. The man sitting alone also turned extremely ugly because of Yuan Yuan's words. Even when Chen Chongshan greeted him, he coldly snorted and did not give Chen Chongshan any face.
Chen Chongshan was somewhat surprised by his attitude, but he quickly understood. Judging from the situation, the man must be Yuan Yuan's suitor. Today was not just a simple weekend dinner with classmates, but they were trying to match Yuan Yuan with that boy. He, as an unexpected guest, and even had the identity of a boyfriend, completely ruined this dinner.
Fortunately, these girls were all Yuan Yuan's roommates who were very close to her, and they quickly smoothed things over: "Yuan Yuan, we didn't know you had a boyfriend before. Where did you conjure up such a handsome guy?"
"We were classmates for three years of high school, but we only recently started dating."
Yuan Yuan smiled and answered frankly. The reason she made such a clear statement was firstly because she really liked Chen Chongshan and believed that Chen Chongshan felt the same way; secondly because that boy had been harassing her because of his family's influence, and Yuan Yuan hoped that after this frankness, that boy would stay away from her.
Yuan Yuan's confession indeed made the lone boy's face turn extremely ugly. He glared at Chen Chongshan for a long time.
He couldn't understand how this country-dressed guy had managed to beat him and win Yuan Yuan's heart. Judging from his clothes, he was a penniless and powerless bumpkin. His heart was filled with the flames of jealousy, but he couldn't vent it directly because of the people present.
Girls are always gossipy, especially when their best friend suddenly brings out her boyfriend; they can't help but interrogate her about it.
As soon as Chen Chongshan sat down, the round-faced girl asked first, "Hey, handsome, where do you study? I've never seen you before, you're definitely not at our Tanzhou Normal University, right?"
Chen Chongshan was taken aback for a moment, paused, and then honestly replied, "I stopped studying after graduating from high school."
"ah?"
Upon hearing this, not only the round-faced girl, but also another girl with glasses and a girl with a ponytail exclaimed in surprise. The boy sitting alone in the back gave a cold snort, and anyone could hear the contempt and disdain in his voice.
In the eyes of these privileged children, not going to university is a shameful thing, and failing to pass the college entrance examination is a sign of incompetence.
So what kind of work are you doing now?
The round-faced girl continued to ask curiously, and the other two girls also cast curious glances at him. In their eyes, since he didn't go to university, he must have a good job. Otherwise, how could he have won Yuan Yuan's heart?
You should know that with Yuan Yuan's reputation as the most beautiful girl in her department, the number of boys pursuing her in the school could stretch for kilometers. The boy sitting here is just one of the more outstanding representatives.
