"I really envy you guys, you got to know Qin Wan so early." Lu Huai suddenly looked up, gazing enviously at Xie Zijue.
Upon hearing this, Xie Zijue, who hadn't understood why Qin Wan said that, suddenly realized...
So Qin Wan said that on purpose...
From this perspective, Qin Wan probably doesn't have any romantic feelings for Lu Huai either.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have deliberately said those things to make Lu Huai misunderstand.
Thinking of this, Xie Zijue felt her mood instantly improve.
If Qin Wan doesn't like Lu Huai, then he still has a chance!
Thinking about his plans for tonight, Xie Zijue was instantly filled with fighting spirit. He felt that winning over Qin Wan would make his goal of avoiding decades of struggle in life much closer than he thought.
"Yes, we've known Wanwan for several months."
“We usually go to and from school together, and in our free time we play Kyushu Tianxia together. We are almost always together. Our relationship with Wanwan is no longer that of ordinary friends.”
As Xie Zijue said this, he glanced at Lu Huai with a smug look in his eyes, his eyes full of provocation.
Their gazes met and collided in mid-air, and then Lu Huai suddenly laughed.
"Then you'd better work hard in tonight's secret realm dungeon, Senior Xie, and don't let me overtake you."
A double entendre...
The latecomer surpasses the former.
Besides referring to the secret realm instance, it also refers to the pursuit of Qin Wan.
Xie Zijue's face darkened, and he narrowed his eyes, staring intently at Lu Huai.
"Lu Huai, steak won't taste good if it gets cold," Qin Wan suddenly said, interrupting the two men's subtle rivalry.
Upon hearing this, Lu Huai's smile deepened, and his expression became even sweeter and more obedient.
"I want to eat fruit salad..." Lu Huai said, looking at Qin Wan with longing eyes.
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Qin Wan brought the fruit salad that had been placed in front of Xie Zijue to Lu Huai.
Xie Zijue: "!!!"
Lu Huai smiled sweetly at Qin Wan and said, "Thank you."
"Eat quickly." Qin Wan urged him while using her knife and fork to cut a piece of Lu Huai's favorite sweet mango and hand it to him.
[Lu Huai's favorability increased by 1, current favorability is 92.]
Qin Wan's favoritism was blatant and utterly undisguised.
Seeing this scene before him, Xie Zijue couldn't help but doubt the thought that had just crossed his mind...
Does Qin Wan... really not like Lu Huai?
"Qin Wan, what's your relationship with Lu Huai?" Jiang Ya asked jokingly.
"Huh, didn't I tell you?" Qin Wan asked in surprise as she handed Lu Huai a drink.
Upon hearing this, Xie Zijue and Jiang Ya felt a chill run down their spines, a sense of foreboding washing over them.
"Lu Huai and I are roommates."
Shared accommodation... roommate?
"You two are roommates?"
"A single man and a single woman sharing an apartment?"
Jiang Ya and Xie Zijue said in unison.
"Yeah, is that so strange? Why are you two reacting so strongly?"
Qin Wan frowned as she looked at Jiang Ya and Xie Zijue.
Lu Huai, upon hearing Qin Wan's "approval," couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile, a hint of pleasure flashing in his eyes.
[Lu Huai's favorability increased by 2, current favorability is 94.]
Xie Zijue sat there with his thin lips pressed tightly together and his face looking unpleasant, refusing to answer Qin Wan's question.
Jiang Ya, unlike Xie Zijue, did not have any other thoughts about Qin Wan, nor did she have any possessiveness. Therefore, she was able to remain calm and rational.
"Wanwan, why did you suddenly want to share an apartment?"
"And with a boy..."
Upon hearing this, Qin Wan sighed softly, her face full of distress, and said, "Didn't I tell you a few days ago that I'm short on money lately?"
"I'm looking for someone to share the apartment with, hoping that having more people can help share some of the pressure."
"In addition, you may not know that I don't have much common sense or skills in life."
“But Lu Huai is different. He can cook, and he cooks exceptionally well.”
"He's hardworking, keeps the house spotless, and takes good care of me..."
The words "take care of me" made Xie Zijue and Jiang Ya's brows twitch.
"Are you two dating?" Xie Zijue couldn't help but blurt out, his tone accusatory.
Upon hearing this, Qin Wan frowned and looked at Xie Zijue with a strange expression. "Why would you think that?"
"Didn't I just explain? Lu Huai and I are roommates."
Upon hearing this answer, Xie Zijue's expression softened slightly, while Lu Huai lowered his eyes, seemingly disappointed.
[Lu Huai's favorability decreased by 1, current favorability is 93.]
Is the reason you're explaining it so clearly because you don't like him?
Or was it because he was afraid Xie Zijue would misunderstand?
Lu Huai's deep, dark eyes were filled with turbulent emotions...
"Although I'm not in a position to say this, I'm doing it for your own good."
"You and Lu Huai are, after all, a single man and a single woman. If word gets out that you're sharing an apartment, it will inevitably have a negative impact on you. I suggest you think it over carefully."
As he spoke, Xie Zijue's gaze was fixed on Qin Wan, as if he were waiting for her answer.
Unexpectedly, Qin Wan did not show any of the expression he expected, but instead looked at him with a strange expression.
"Xie Zijue? Which feudal society did you travel from?"
"What era are we living in?"
"Men and women sharing an apartment is way too common, isn't it?"
"Besides, whether or not it gets out, it's my business and has nothing to do with you."
[Lu Huai's favorability increased by 2, current favorability is 95.]
These words once again shifted the emotions and expressions of the two men.
Lu Huai was happy, while Xie Zijue felt aggrieved.
What exactly does Qin Wan mean?
Does she actually like Lu Huai?
"I'm stuffed."
Seeing that Xie Zijue and Jiang Ya, these two troublesome people, were not going to stop, Lu Huai lost his appetite and put down his knife and fork, looking at Qin Wan with an obedient expression.
"Shall we go home now?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Wan glanced down at the time on her wristwatch. "You want to go back?"
"I'm actually fine, but I'm mainly thinking that today's level nine secret realm dungeon is quite difficult and it will probably take a lot of time to complete."
“You have class tomorrow, and I don’t want to see you stay up late,” Lu Huai said gently and considerately.
Qin Wan nodded in agreement, "That's right, let's stop here for today. Lu Huai and I will head back first. You two can continue eating if you're still hungry."
"Of course, if you've eaten your fill, then hurry home and get ready."
Seeing Qin Wan and Lu Huai get up to leave, Xie Zijue and Jiang Ya also quickly stood up.
"Wanwan, wait a minute, how about my cousin and I take you home..."
Jiang Ya was just being polite, after all, she hadn't eaten much of the Western food on the table.
Especially her and Xie Zijue, who were so busy being angry that they barely ate a few bites.
However, Jiang Ya never expected that Qin Wan would take her polite words seriously...
"Huh? Are you giving us a ride?"
"It's not that it's impossible."
“Lu Huai just moved over and has a lot of things that haven’t been bought yet. I was thinking of taking him to the supermarket later. You two can help carry the things.”
Jiang Ya: "???"
Xie Zijue: "???"
Lu Huai smiled, his eyes crinkling, his dark gaze filled with tenderness as he looked at Qin Wan…
