Shu Ya said she was actually going to chase after them to get a glimpse of the person’s true appearance.
“Shu Ya, aren’t you eating anymore?” Lin Ke Ke said.
“I’ll go take a look first, I’ll eat later.”
Everyone was very curious about who it was that had caused such a sensation across the entire bustling city for a Valentine’s Day occasion.
As a result, no one stopped Shu Ya.
Ye Lingyun had extravagantly booked a deluxe private room and prepared a large table laden with delicacies from land and sea.
Currently, Ye Lingyun’s father was the CEO of Ye Corporation. He only needed to graduate and take over the Ye Corporation, and his future would be incredibly bright.
“Sigh, you guys, who do you think that man was who created the volcano flower sea? He’s so rich and romantic.”
“It’s always the good men belonging to someone else.” Qian Li Li suddenly said.
Liu Feng, standing nearby, felt targeted and looked at Qian Li Li with displeasure.
“It’s not like I haven’t given you gifts, why are you being so sarcastic?”
“Yes, you gave me a thermos. Told me to drink more hot water for everything.”
“Your stomach isn’t well, I gave you a thermos for your health.”
“For my health? Next, you’ll give me brown sugar and goji berries to steep in water, that would be even better.”
“Heh… women.”
“What are you implying! Are you justifying yourself?”
Qian Li Li’s fur bristled, and she began to bicker with Liu Feng at the dinner table.
Everyone else was accustomed to their flirtatious squabbling.
Ye Ling Yun glanced at Liu Feng and his group with helplessness, then withdrew his gaze and ignored them.
“It’s causing such a fuss over a thermos. Is caring for one’s significant other’s health really not worth mentioning compared to superficial romance?”
“Xiao Min, if it were you, what would you choose between a thermos and roses?”
Tang Xiao Min stirred the rice in her bowl and answered without thinking.
“Only children make choices, adults want both.”
…
This answer surprised Ye Ling Yun.
He had thought he was beginning to understand her, but now it seemed he understood nothing at all.
“Then what do you think of the volcano flower sea last night?”
“Of course, it was very beautiful.”
Tang Xiao Min suddenly froze, then glanced at Ye Ling Yun.
He was leisurely eating, deep in thought.
His demeanor was far more elegant than hers or Lin Ke Ke’s.
“Why isn’t Shu Ya here yet? Honestly, if she’s any later, we’ll all be full.”
Lin Ke Ke was looking forward expectantly, her face full of anticipation.
On the other side.
Shu Ya followed Zhang Guo Er to a private room and watched them enter, staying by the door.
However, after waiting for half an hour, she didn’t see any man come out.
Driven by curiosity, she pretended to have entered the wrong room and boldly pushed the door open.
Bang!
The door opened. Inside the room were only Zhang Guo Er, her little lackeys, and a table full of exquisite dishes. No one else.
“Sorry, I came to the wrong place. Hehehe…”
As she turned to leave, Zhang Guo Er’s voice called from behind her.
“Wait!”
Zhang Guo Er’s family only had limited influence, and they were desperately trying to break into high society.
In the past, Zhang Guo Er had always tried every means to hang out with Shu Ya and the others.
However, Shu Ya and her friends looked down on Zhang Guo Er, disdaining her fawning and snobbish attitude, and simply ignored her.
“What is it?”
Shu Ya didn’t turn around, only giving Zhang Guo Er her back.
Zhang Guo Er said coldly, “Close the door behind you.”
Shu Ya said nothing and quietly closed the door.
After returning to the private room.
“How was it, how was it? Who exactly is Zhang Guo Er’s suitor?”
Everyone waited expectantly for Shu Ya’s answer.
Shu Ya plopped down on a seat, her face full of displeasure.
“I waited for over half an hour and didn’t see anyone. I even deliberately said I entered the wrong room and barged in, but I didn’t see a single man. It made me wait for nothing, and I haven’t even eaten.”
“You didn’t see him, fine. Why are you still angry?”
“Don’t mention it. Zhang Guo Er used to flatter us and wanted to play with us. Today, she’s different. I pretended I entered the wrong room and was about to leave. Guess what?”
“What?”
“She actually told me to close the door behind me. Relying on the fact that she has a rich man pursuing her, she’s straightened her back and her tone has become arrogant.”
…
Everyone felt speechless.
“Alright, alright, calm down, let’s eat first.”
On their way back to school, Tang Xiao Min unluckily encountered Zhang Guo Er again.
Zhang Guo Er was strutting smugly, enjoying the envious glances from others.
As Tang Xiao Min returned to her classroom, the corridor was crowded. She unavoidably brushed past Zhang Guo Er, who was standing in the middle of the corridor.
“Ouch…”
Zhang Guo Er suddenly stumbled and fell.
“Guo Er!”
Zhou Dan quickly helped Zhang Guo Er up with concern and glared at Tang Xiao Min.
“Can’t you watch where you’re going? There’s such a wide space, why did you have to bump into Guo Er?”
Zhou Dan’s words made it seem as if Tang Xiao Min had deliberately bumped into Zhang Guo Er.
After being helped up, Zhang Guo Er glared at Tang Xiao Min furiously.
“Tang Xiao Min, you bumped into me, apologize to me.”
Tang Xiao Min knew very well that she had only brushed past Zhang Guo Er, she hadn’t bumped into her.
The force of impact is mutual. She hadn’t even felt a slight collision, so how could she have caused Zhang Guo Er to fall to the ground?
This Zhang Guo Er was clearly faking an accident.
During that variety show, Zhang Guo Er and her brother were beaten up, and it was even edited and released by the production team.
Their reputation was ruined, and thus a feud was formed.
Seeing that Tang Xiao Min remained silent, Zhou Dan arrogantly threatened her.
“Tang Xiao Min, you’d better apologize to Guo Er, or you’ll regret it.”
“You probably don’t know yet, but the volcano flower sea last night was arranged by Guo Er’s boyfriend for her confession. Scared now? It’s not too late to apologize.”
The entire day had been filled with the commotion of the volcano flower sea. The man who created the city-wide romance had a very noble image in people’s minds.
Onlookers kindly advised Tang Xiao Min.
“She fell because of you, you should at least apologize. Just offer a small apology.”
“Yeah, it’s better to avoid trouble than to create it.”
…
Tang Xiao Min was not an unreasonable person. If she had genuinely bumped into someone, she would apologize.
However, being subjected to Zhang Guo Er’s cheap stunt of faking an accident made her feel uncomfortable and angry.
“Apologizing is impossible. If you dare, go call your capable boyfriend to back you up. I, Tang Xiao Min, will face you to the end.”
“You…”
Zhang Guo Er hadn’t expected Tang Xiao Min to not fall for this tactic.
“Tang Xiao Min, I advise you not to be so arrogant. My boyfriend has a bad temper. If you apologize to me now, fine. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not considering our past acquaintance. If you provoke my boyfriend, you won’t have a good ending.”
Tang Xiao Min looked at Zhang Guo Er coldly for a few seconds, then she couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“Heh heh… boyfriend? Couldn’t you be fabricating ‘friends’ out of thin air?”
