"Sending you something else?"
"What do you mean?"
Wen Tingxue looked at Bian Wei, confused. "Class monitor, did you... make a mistake? I didn't receive anything you sent."
"You didn't?!" Bian Wei's voice instantly rose. "You didn't receive the things I asked Meng Xiyao to bring you?!"
Chi Zerui instinctively shielded Wen Tingxue, his gaze hardening as he looked at Bian Wei.
Bian Wei forced himself to meet his stare but faltered after a few seconds.
"Ah," Wen Tingxue said, realization dawning. "You mean that? I received it. The things were delicious, thank you!"
Was that considered praise?
Bian Wei beamed, his face full of surprise and joy. "I'm glad you liked it. Is there anything else you want to eat? I'll buy it for you."
Buy it for her?
That sounded a bit strange.
Wen Tingxue corrected him, "You should ask Xiyao. Her thoughts are the most important."
Bian Wei's heart skipped a beat.
Did she know about his transaction with Meng Xiyao?
Was she angry?
Or was she just shy and didn't want to tell him directly?
Under Meng Xiyao's careful manipulation, Bian Wei firmly chose the latter possibility.
She must be too embarrassed to say it directly, so asking Meng Xiyao was just a formality.
Girls are sensitive about their pride, he understood!
"Alright, I'll contact Meng Xiyao then." Bian Wei nodded with a smile.
Wen Tingxue: "..."
She felt his expression was a little odd.
Chi Zerui had originally intended to look for Que You, but upon hearing about a gathering, he decided to wait for Wen Tingxue to go with him.
That evening, at the restaurant.
Everyone had gathered. Que You's eyes immediately fixed on Chi Zerui's white hair.
"Whoa, what's going on? Did I guess right?"
Chi Zerui plopped down casually.
"Yeah, I'm hopelessly in love, so what? Jealous? You're a perpetual bachelor. In over a year of college, haven't you even attracted a single female cat?"
"Don't bring up my sore points, are you on the warpath today?" Que You kicked him irritably.
He then leaned closer. "Come on, tell your brother, what kind of girl is it that even you, Chi Zerui, can't handle?"
He was incredibly curious.
Which divine being could possibly get the better of Chi Zerui!
From childhood to adulthood, anything Chi Zerui desired, he always got.
He never expected to meet his nemesis in college.
This was retribution!
Chi Zerui glanced at him indifferently. "Can you take that theatrical expression off your face? It's really asking for a beating."
Que You complied readily, immediately adopting a look of heartbroken remorse. "Can you tell me now?"
Chi Zerui: "..."
He pursed his lips, clearly unwilling to say more.
Que You became even more curious, pestering him with questions.
Chi Zerui refused to budge, until he caught sight of the small balcony out of the corner of his eye. His jealousy flared, and he spoke uncontrollably.
"Do you really want to know?"
Que You paused for a second. "Of course!"
Chi Zerui beckoned him. "Come closer, and I'll tell you."
Que You leaned in, and Chi Zerui, gazing at the small balcony, spoke into his ear word by word:
"The one I like is Wen Tingxue."
Que You: "???!!"
What kind of international joke is this!
