The moment he left the bubble tea shop, Scarface's smile vanished once more, replaced by an expression of utter despair.
He muttered to himself, "Li Xiaolian, once I've had my fill of playing with you, I'll really scheme against you!"
Thinking of this, a sinister smile crept onto Scarface's lips. He stared at Li Xiaolian's contact information on his phone, as if looking at a pitiful lab rat, waiting to be toyed with.
Scarface suddenly had a premonition that this was going to be a painful and crazy "dating" career!
...
Li Xiaolian went into the bathroom, while Fang Yu listened to the sound of running water outside, recalling the information Li Xiaolian had just told her.
A milk tea shop and an internet cafe—Chang Jing must have invested a lot; his family must be quite well-off.
Moreover, being able to open two stores at this age is no small feat; he must be a shrewd and capable businesswoman.
Fang Yu felt increasingly interested in Chang Jing. He was a young, promising man from a wealthy family, and intelligent and capable—he was practically the ideal man.
If we could win over Chang Jing, that would be an incredible stroke of luck! Thinking of this, Fang Yu couldn't help but smile with excitement.
Just then, Li Xiaolian came out of the bathroom. Seeing the excited smile on Fang Yu's face, Li Xiaolian frowned and said, "What are you laughing at? Hurry up and think about the next step of the plan!"
Upon hearing this, Fang Yu's smile immediately vanished. She cleared her throat and said, "Don't worry, isn't it a good thing that we've made new progress? Now we know that Chang Jing not only opened a milk tea shop but also an internet cafe. Such a large investment must mean he comes from a wealthy family. And for someone his age to be able to bite the bullet and do business shows he's a shrewd and capable person."
Upon hearing this, Li Xiaolian snorted: "Shrewd and capable? With that act of pretending to be stupid, you still call him shrewd and capable?"
Fang Yu smiled and said, "Don't let his less-than-handsome appearance fool you. This kid can open two shops at such a young age, so his family must be well-off. Besides, you said he's very cautious in his dealings with people, which just shows he's quite meticulous, doesn't it?"
Li Xiaolian agreed with Fang Yu's point. She retorted sarcastically, "Are you praising your future 'goal'?"
Fang Yu laughed and said, "Such a high-quality 'target,' it would be a waste not to pursue him. Once we find out his background, I will definitely launch a full-scale manhunt!"
Upon hearing this, Li Xiaolian snorted: "That depends on whether you have the ability. You should know that Chang Jing is not an easy person to pursue."
Fang Yu smiled and looked at Li Xiaolian: "With you as my best friend, what can't I win over!"
Li Xiaolian frowned upon hearing this and exclaimed, "Hey, wait a minute! I'm not going to seduce that ugly scarred guy again! If you think Chang Jing is good enough for you, then go after him yourself!"
Fang Yu smiled and quickly comforted her, "Alright, I was just kidding. You've already made such a great sacrifice tonight, and I'll naturally repay you properly once the plan succeeds."
Li Xiaolian was slightly relieved after hearing this, but she still complained, "If you make me seduce someone like Scarface again, I'll break off all ties with you!"
Fang Yu smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, I'll come up with a better plan. Now we know much more about Chang Jing than before, which is a big step forward. We'll take it slow and eventually find out the answer to his identity."
Li Xiaolian agreed, saying with a sense of despair, "Forget it, I need to wash off this smell before we start. It's disgusting!"
Fang Yu chuckled softly upon hearing this, and reassured her, "Don't worry, I'll get you some air freshener, and you'll be fine after a bath!"
Li Xiaolian was practically bursting with laughter; Fang Yu was truly a fearless person.
However, Li Xiaolian felt somewhat helpless towards Fang Yu, because it was Fang Yu's plan that led to her making such a great "sacrifice" tonight.
However, since things are progressing smoothly now, it's not too late to settle accounts once we find out Chang Jing's true colors!
Li Xiaolian muttered to herself as she went back into the bathroom. Fang Yu watched her go, secretly planning her next move.
If I can successfully win over Chang Jing, that would be a wonderful thing. Then I can repay Li Xiaolian properly!
Fang Yu sketched Chang Jing's image in her mind, and a smile of excitement crept onto her lips. She thought, this will be a chase that she will be obsessed with!
...
When Chang Jing returned to the dormitory, he saw that his roommate Li Qihao was still awake and browsing the web.
Hearing the door open, Li Qihao looked up and saw Chang Jing returning. He couldn't help but laugh and say, "Hey, brother, you're back! I haven't seen you around lately. Did you go on a date?"
Chang Jing chuckled and said, "No, I've been quite busy lately, with some things to take care of."
Li Qihao pursed his lips and said, "You haven't shown up much lately except for classes. What have you been busy with?"
Chang Jing thought to himself that he hadn't mentioned the milk tea shop to his roommates yet, so he casually made up an excuse and said, "I need to help with some things at home."
Li Qihao seemed unconvinced, but didn't press the matter. He glanced at his phone and said, "By the way, have you heard? A new milk tea shop opened near our school. I heard it's booming and has a good reputation. Want to try it this weekend?"
Upon hearing this, Chang Jing was speechless. When it came to milk tea shops, he knew this one better than anyone else. But on the surface, he had to pretend that he didn't know much about it.
Chang Jing said slowly, "A milk tea shop? Aren't there already quite a few beverage shops around here? What's so new about a newly opened one?"
Li Qihao shrugged and said, "Anyway, I've heard that this milk tea is pretty good. It not only has a novel flavor but also adds a lot of new elements. Why don't you give it a try? It's a way to support the opening of a new store!"
Seeing Li Qihao's expression, Chang Jing knew that he meant well.
But rather than let my roommates misunderstand me, I'd rather keep fooling them.
So Chang Jing casually said, "With a new store opening, it'll definitely be crowded, and it won't be as convenient to go on weekends. How about we go next week when we're free?"
Li Qihao agreed, but he still felt a little regretful: "It would have been great if we could have tried it sooner. But you're right, it's not very convenient when a new store just opens and there are too many people. How about next week? I'll find a time to meet you then!"
Chang Jing smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's go try it together next week!"
After saying that, Chang Jing went back to his bed.
Li Qihao watched Chang Jing leave, feeling that Chang Jing had indeed been acting a bit strange lately.
Chang Jing is usually the only person who is keen to try new foods and new stores, but he has been putting off going to the newly opened milk tea shop.
However, considering that Chang Jing recently mentioned having some family matters to attend to, perhaps that's the reason.
Li Qihao didn't want to delve into it. He figured that once he and Chang Jing tasted the food at that milk tea shop next week, Chang Jing would probably tell him the truth about what he had been busy with lately.
Thinking of this, Li Qihao also lowered his head and continued looking at his phone, no longer delving into Chang Jing's situation.
