Chapter 298: Chapter 298: Aloof Campus Belle VS Gentle Flower (Part 11) Chapter 298: Chapter 298: Aloof Campus Belle VS Gentle Flower (Part 11) And so, the hot pot dinner for two turned into a gathering of three.
When Yuan Chen and a bunch of roommates walked in, they were greeted with this harmonious scene.
Sheng Lu and two guys were sitting at a table, her expression was relaxed and even carried a hint of a smile.
Yuan Chen suddenly felt a surge of jealousy. He knew that when Gu Shengyin faced him, although she wasnât exactly dismissive, she always had a lukewarm demeanor, nowhere near as familiar as she seemed now with these two men.
If he had known that Gu Shengyin had only recently met these two men, and that one of them was just acquainted with today, his jealousy would probably have been even greater.
When he recognized one of the two men, the jealousy within him swelled even more.
Lu Changting, there wasnât a soul in the Finance Department who didnât know him.
Yuan Chen himself was doing well in his department, but that was only having some fame among the freshmen. The name Lu Changting, however, was not only well-known throughout the Finance Department but throughout First University, known by many.
The several papers he published were featured on the front page of leading domestic financial magazines and, it was said that as a freshman, many large corporations were willing to sign contracts with him.
In short, Lu Changting was a legend at First University.
He, Yuan Chen, couldnât compare to him.
Lu Changting didnât ignore the gaze that fell on him. He noticed the hostility in Yuan Chenâs eyes and raised an eyebrow.
This Yuan Chen, is he the one previously seen on the forum having a good time talking with junior Sheng Lu?
But⊠looking at Sheng Luâs demeanor, she didnât seem to care much about him.
Lu Changting withdrew his gaze. Since Sheng Lu and he had nothing to do with each other, there was no need for him to waste his energy on someone irrelevant.
On this end, Yuan Chenâs best buddy, who had been jesting with Yuan Chen in the dorm previously, also noticed Gu Shengyinâs table.
In fact, none of the customers in the entire restaurant overlooked their table because the threeâs attractiveness far exceeded the average. If they were not totally unrecognizable, some might even suspect they were celebrities having dinner here.
Yuan Chenâs roommate, who knew about his little crush on Gu Shengyin, nudged him.
âHey, Yuan Chen, youâd better hurry up,â his roommate whispered, âYou are outstanding, but people like Senior Lu are the most popular with girls. Looking at how theyâre interacting, itâs obvious theyâve just met and havenât developed a deeper relationship; otherwise, there would surely be rumors in school. Donât blame me for not warning you. When itâs time to make a move, you have to do it as early as possible.â
Yuan Chen chugged a swig of beer but said nothing.
Since Gu Shengyin and her party arrived earlier, Yuan Chen and his group didnât stay long before leaving.
âWhere do you live? Iâll take you home,â said Lu Changting.
Gu Shengyin replied, âNo need, I live nearby.â
Lu Changting frowned, âNo, itâs not safe for a girl to be alone late at night.â
Liang Zimu looked at the two of them with an acid tone, âAh, here I am, a fragile and adorable little guy, unprotected at night. Why doesnât anyone care about poor me?â
Lu Changting paid him no mind and continued walking forward with Gu Shengyin.
âGoodbye, Senior Liang,â Gu Shengyin politely bade him farewell.
âEh?â Liang Zimu stood there dumbfounded. Were they really just going to leave him behind like that?
