Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Tang Ziyan’s words were filled with deep meaning. At the same time, there was an endless commotion around them. Some of the students who were on good terms with Tang Ziyan urged her to treat them. After all, she had already wooed the school belle. It was impossible not to treat them.

This was not a problem for Tang Ziyan at all. She immediately smiled and was about to agree. “No problem. If all of you want to…”

Halfway through her sentence, Tang Ziyan seemed to have thought of something. She turned around and looked at Chu Qing, saying mischievously, “You said that you wanted to woo me. Now that you’ve wooed me… What about the meal?”

“My treat,” Chu Qing replied without blinking as he stared at Tang Ziyan. He did not realize that Tang Ziyan had such an interesting side.

“When and where do you want to eat?” This question, which should have been raised by Tang Ziyan, could only be asked by Chu Qing.

“I’ll let you decide.”

“No, no, you go ahead.”

Tang Ziyan’s close friends nudged each other. They were all carefree, but now, they were shy in front of Chu Qing. After all, Chu Qing was a special school belle.

Others were embarrassed to say it, but Zhuo Buqun was not. Like Chu Qing, he was a boy. At this moment, he would not let go of the opportunity to suppress Chu Qing. When everyone was hemming and hawing and could not come to a conclusion, Zhuo Buqun suddenly spoke and said with ridicule, “Chu Qing, it’s not that I want to say this, but you won’t invite us to a place like a food stall to eat, right? If that’s the case, I’d rather go home and sleep.”

“Oh, then go home and sleep. In any case, I didn’t say you were invited.” Chu Qing retorted indifferently.

Zhuo Buqun’s face turned red with anger. However, he had achieved his goal and confirmed that Chu Qing, this poor guy, was going to treat him to a meal at the food stall. In front of so many people, he felt embarrassed for Chu Qing. However, this was what he wanted.

However, at the thought that Chu Qing had lost face and that Tang Ziyan would stand up for him, Chu Qing’s slightly better mood instantly turned bad.

As expected, Tang Ziyan took a step forward and was about to speak when Chu Qing held her shoulder. Chu Qing said to everyone warmly, “Since no one can come up with anything in a short period of time, why don’t I treat everyone to dessert later? I remember there’s a Western restaurant nearby. The desserts are delicious.”

Chu Qing’s suggestion was unanimously approved by everyone. Only Tang Ziyan’s brows were filled with worry. When Chu Qing saw this, he leaned his head close to Tang Ziyan’s ear and whispered, “You’re my girlfriend from now on. How can I bear to let you embarrass yourself with me? Besides, are you worried about me? Are you afraid that I’ll puff myself up, spend all my money, and get beaten up when I return home?”

Chu Qing’s every word touched Tang Ziyan’s heart. After hearing the first half of the sentence, Tang Ziyan felt sweet. When she heard the second half, Chu Qing guessed her intentions and she felt a little embarrassed. However, after hearing it, she realized that she had been teased by Chu Qing.

She immediately blushed and reached out to pinch Chu Qing. Chu Qing tried his best to dodge, but he was still pinched a few times by her. Of course, this was the result of him deliberately going easy on her. Otherwise, Tang Ziyan wouldn’t be able to touch him at all.

As Tang Ziyan pondered over the situation, she felt an intense surge of hatred, causing her to grit her teeth. She was on the verge of tearing her own skin and discarding it in the trash can. She couldn’t understand why she had engaged in such a delicate action at that moment. Wasn’t that something only boys would do? Was her reputation solely influenced by a particular boy like Chu Qing? Tang Ziyan found herself unable to comprehend it fully for the time being.

No matter what, Chu Qing was definitely going to treat them to supper. At the gathering, after this small episode, everyone stopped eating hotpot and clamored to eat dessert. Of course, they couldn’t help but discuss Chu Qing and Tang Ziyan’s whispering.

Chu Qing had become the protagonist of this gathering. Zhuo Buqun’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot. When he paid the bill, he was unhappy and glanced at Chu Qing with contempt. Coincidentally, his gaze met Chu Qing’s.

He could not help but say, “What are you looking at? Have you seen the membership card here?”

Fine, Chu Qing did not mind stepping on Zhuo Buqun more ruthlessly.

“Yup, I have seen one.” As Chu Qing spoke, he took out a golden membership card from his pocket like a magic trick. It was the one he had gotten when he and Zhai Yu were eating here two days ago.

Immediately, Zhuo Buqun could not remain calm and asked, “W-where did you get it from?”

To get a membership card here, one needed to prepay at least 10,000 yuan. In his opinion, how could a country bumpkin like Chu Qing have so much money?

“I picked it up.” Chu Qing’s answer was as out of tune as ever.

However, because of this, Zhuo Buqun’s expression became better. A sentence emerged from the corner of his mouth. “I thought so.”

“Idiot.” Chu Qing wanted to cover his face. He couldn’t figure out why he had been bullied by such a person in his previous life.

Upon hearing Chu Qing’s scolding, Zhuo Buqun was on the verge of losing his temper right then and there. However, the waiter at the counter intervened and explained, “Our membership cards are registered with real names and are non-transferable. This gentleman’s membership card belongs to him, and he was merely joking. You took it seriously..”
