Before Xu Yanfeng could answer, another voice rang out, teasingly: "Our Xu Er is outstanding in everything. Even in kindergarten, there were girls showing interest in him. What's more, it's normal to have girls chasing after him now."
No one else has a bad mouth except Tang Yizhou.
"Speaking of which, I've heard a little bit about it," Fu Li said. "That girl is very beautiful, a school beauty... What's her name?"
"How come you all know this?" Luo Jinnan had originally been indifferent to the topic, but now he became interested. "Do you have a photo? Let me see it. I want to see what the campus beauty of Nanjing University looks like."
Fu Li took out his phone and flipped to the photo someone sent him two days ago: "Here."
Luo Jinnan took it and looked at it, his eyes widening: "She's really pretty." He touched Xu Yanfeng's arm, "Xu Er, this girl is pursuing you? It won't be a loss if you talk to her."
There was no way Tang Yizhou wouldn't join in the fun. He raised his palm and hooked his finger, "Camel, let me see too."
Camel is Luo Jinnan's nickname. Upon hearing this, he passed the phone to Tang Yizhou. After reading it, Tang Yizhou let out a "wow" sound, and the unspoken words that followed should be: It's pretty enough.
Ling Yan was getting anxious. Seeing Xu Yanfeng still not expressing his opinion, she started to say, "What kind of character are you men? You can't have him date every beautiful girl who chases after him. How many relationships would that take?"
Tang Yizhou returned the phone to Fu Li, glanced at Ling Yan, and immediately saw through her little thoughts: "Xu Er hasn't said anything yet, why are you so anxious? Could it be that you also like our Xu Er..."
"Tang Yizhou!" Ling Yan's face flushed red, and she felt a little angry. "It's okay for you to make fun of those girls, but you're making fun of me too?"
"I'm sorry, I spoke too quickly." Seeing that she was unhappy, Tang Yizhou immediately changed his tone and apologized, "Ms. Ling, don't mind it."
The Ling family's jewel in the crown is indeed not something that can be joked about.
Ling Yan was afraid they would think she was petty and couldn't take a joke, so she pursed her lips and said something to excuse herself: "We're all friends, and it's awkward to say something like that. Tang Yizhou, you just don't like to keep your mouth shut."
Tang Yizhou nodded and said, "Yes, it's my fault, Miss, don't be angry." But in his heart, he was thinking, Miss Ling is really too concerned about her reputation. She obviously has feelings for Xu Er, but she pretends that she doesn't want to have anything to do with him.
I want to ask her if she is tired.
She is not as frank as that woman named Xia Xi. If she likes someone, she will pursue him. If she can't catch up, she will pursue him again. At least she dares to take responsibility for her actions.
Tang Yizhou still thought Xia Xi was a brave woman, but after seeing her various tricks, he changed his mind and thought she was too shameless. He didn't like it.
The party ended at ten o'clock. Xu Yanfeng didn't drink any alcohol and said goodbye to others with his car keys.
"Are you going home or back to school?" Ling Yan asked casually.
If they were going home, it would be on their way, and she could take the opportunity to ask him to give her a ride. He usually wouldn't refuse such a small thing.
Xu Yanfeng replied: "Back to school."
Ling Yan didn't want to show her disappointment, so she replied in a slightly lower voice, "Oh."
This group of childhood friends didn't attend the same school. Xu Yanfeng and Fu Li were at Nanjing University, while the others were at a local financial university, slightly less prestigious than Nanjing University. Normally, these wealthy children would be sent abroad to polish their skills upon reaching adulthood, but Xu Yanfeng was special. He had an older brother who managed Xu's overseas businesses, while the youngest son stayed in China to be with his parents, attending university there and eventually taking over Xu's domestic business. Several of his childhood friends followed his lead, convincing their families to stay in China.
They are all willful people.
Ling Yan looked at Xu Yanfeng's receding back and couldn't help but jog after him. Somehow, in a fit of excitement, she blurted out the question that had been pent up in her heart all night: "You probably don't like girls who are as flamboyant as Xia Xi, right?"
Xu Yanfeng didn't stop, but glanced at her sideways, thinking she was puzzled.
Ling Yan's smile was a little dry. "Girls like her are always short-lived in everything they do. She might be interested in you now and pursue you relentlessly, but she might turn around and be interested in someone else. She treats relationships like a joke."
Xu Yanfeng was very curious about how she came to this conclusion: "Do you know Xia Xi well?"
Even he didn't understand Xia Xi. How could Ling Yan, who had never had any contact with Xia Xi, make such an evaluation?
Ling Yan was stunned by the question. Her expression was unstable and she was a little panicked: "I... I..." After hesitating for a while, she simply gave up and said, "Of course women understand women better. I guess."
Xu Yanfeng said "hmm", which was a very short "hmm" with a hint of sarcasm.
Lingyan's heart was trembling, and she dared not speak carelessly anymore, as the more she spoke, the more mistakes she would make.

After the military training for freshmen ended and the National Day holiday, the heat in the south city gradually faded, the weather began to become cooler, and the shadow of autumn was felt.
Xia Xi was grateful for Zhou Du's tolerance. When they'd made the bet, he'd changed the three-month deadline to a semester, otherwise she'd definitely lost miserably. A month had already passed, and she'd spoken to Xu Yanfeng only a pitiful few times, let alone succeeded. Heaven would punish anyone who was blindly confident.
Tuesday was a full day of classes. After a full day of classes, everyone had lost a lot of weight. The four students from the dormitory came out of the teaching building and dragged their feet to the cafeteria to eat. Passing by a tree-lined road, the lively atmosphere was in sharp contrast to the lifeless look on them.
That's the student union and major clubs recruiting new members.
There was an awning next to another, with several sets of tables and chairs underneath. Seniors were holding flyers from their respective clubs, waving them and shouting slogans, trying their best to attract the freshmen who were passing by and were tanned but not white yet.
