NOVPUB"I don’t like chicken legs."
Wu Bin put the chicken leg back into Xu Qian’s bowl, signaling his rejection.
Think I’ll be your shield? No way!
Wu Bin was feeling smug, feeling his bowl move slightly.
He looked down and saw that Han Jiaoyan had actually put a large piece of beef into his bowl.
"What’s so good about chicken legs? Eat beef if you’re going to eat anything."
"Eating beef gives you bull strength, strong and energized bodies are the best." 𝘯𝘰𝑣𝘱𝑢𝘣.𝑐𝑜𝑚
Wu Bin: ???
What the, why are you joining in the chaos!
Spouting rhymes, are you preparing for the graduate entrance exams or what!
Slap!
Wu Bin looked up and saw that Lu Yuan was staring at him unfavorably, his chopsticks snapped in his hand.
Dammit!
So the two of you with your turned-up noses have come together, huh!
This is a setup!
This is a trick for women to show jealousy and fight for favor, stay cool, don’t fall for it!
Wu Bin hurriedly put the beef back into Han Jiaoyan’s bowl as well.
"I don’t like beef either, thanks."
Clang.
Wu Bin’s bowl moved again.
Taking advantage of the moment Wu Bin returned the beef, Xu Qian put a chopstick-full of cold dishes into his bowl.
Not to be outdone, Han Jiaoyan added a chopstick-full of twice-cooked pork to Wu Bin’s bowl.
Wu Bin was stupefied.
Seriously, are you two engaging in an arms race here?
Wu Bin quickly gave up resisting.
He had realized that if he didn’t eat the dishes these two women were putting in his bowl, he would definitely go hungry today.
If he couldn’t resist, then he might as well passively accept it.
So for the following ten minutes, Wu Bin once again became the center of attention.
He didn’t need to lift a finger; his bowl was never short of dishes.
The two school beauties, who were usually cold to other boys, were now fussing over him like nannies, taking turns picking dishes for Wu Bin, almost to the point of feeding him.
Many of the boys at the mixer saw this and felt heartbroken.
They couldn’t understand why this was happening.
Being handsome allows you to do whatever you want?
The ones with the ugliest expressions were Guo Xiong and Lu Yuan, sitting across from them.
They had switched seats in hopes of getting closer to their goddesses, looking for a chance to interact.
Now they had essentially paid for the best seats in the house, to watch the goddesses attend to Wu Bin up close.
You can imagine how explosive their feelings were at that moment.
Guo Xiong couldn’t hold back anymore. He looked at Wu Bin and said, "You are Wu Bin from our Agricultural University, right? You are indeed handsome, what a pity you’re a bit fragile."
Once Guo Xiong brought up the topic, Lu Yuan quickly followed.
"Guo Shao, you can’t say that. Nowadays, Wu Bin is quite the celebrity in our Agricultural University, a favorite of Principal Xu. I heard that for this year’s image ambassador of the university, Principal Xu is considering letting Wu Bin take the role."
Hearing what Lu Yuan said, Wu Bin looked towards Xu Qian sitting by his side.
What scheme is this old geezer Xu Wenyao cooking up using me now?
Xu Qian looked indifferent, seemingly not understanding the look in Wu Bin’s eyes.
She picked a piece of fish for Wu Bin, considerately saying, "Eat slowly, watch out for bones."
Fine fine fine, ignore me then!
Xu Qian didn’t respond to Wu Bin, and naturally Wu Bin didn’t want to deal with Guo Xiong and Lu Yuan either.
Little did he know, his buddy Lai Qian started to brown-nose on his own.
"I don’t think that’ll be the case."
"The spokesperson for the Agricultural University has always been elected by voting in the past, and it’s definitely going to be the same this year."
"If it comes to voting, I’m definitely giving my vote to Guo Shao."
Others chimed in as well:
"Yeah, Guo Shao is our Agricultural University’s entrepreneurial prodigy. Such a young age and he already started his own entertainment company, so promising!"
"Lu Yuan isn’t doing badly either, I heard his third restaurant is already being renovated, right? The new place on Laifeng Street is prime real estate!"
"Right, Guo Xiong and Lu Yuan are the stars of our finance academy. It’s only natural to choose between them for brand ambassadors. Would we pick someone who’s always in the hospital and never attends class?"
Seeing a bunch of lackeys crowding around to suck up to the two of them, Wu Bin almost couldn’t help but to applaud their performance.
No wonder those rich young masters love to keep bootlickers around—it really does feel awesome!
You just need to start a conversation, and immediately there’s a pack of lackeys to drag others down and belittle your romantic rivals for you.
While putting others down, it doesn’t make you seem beneath your status.
After all, these words are all coming from your lackeys, so what’s it got to do with you?
It was clear that the two were quite enjoying the flattery from their sycophants.
Lu Yuan feigned modesty, saying, "Hey, it’s just a little venture, definitely can’t compare with those serious businessmen in my family."
Listen to that humblebragging; it just rolls off the tongue!
Can’t compare with his elders, so does that mean he’s unbeatable among his peers?
The excessively confident Lu Yuan took the opportunity to invite Han Jiaoyan.
"Jiaoyan, my family’s restaurant is promoting a new hearth tea boiling experience. Would you like to give it a try?"
Han Jiaoyan smiled and shook her head.
"Sorry, Lu Yuan, but I’m not very interested in these more refined activities."
Lu Yuan was a bit embarrassed.
He hadn’t expected his rare attempt to invite someone out to be rejected so gracefully.
Before he could recover, Wu Bin volunteered, "Hearth tea boiling? Sounds great! I love that kind of thing!"
"Lu Yuan, I’d like to experience it too. Can I sign up?"
Huh?
Seeing Wu Bin staring intently at him, Lu Yuan felt utterly disgusted.
Is this guy really so shameless?
Lu Yuan really wanted to refuse, but he felt that would seem petty.
So Lu Yuan pretended to be generous, "Of course, there’s no problem. We’re all classmates after all."
"Just mention my name when you’re paying the bill, and I can sign for you."
Upon hearing they could sign the bill, many of the girls became interested in Lu Yuan.
Indeed, the men with financial power are the most attractive.
Wu Bin shamelessly continued, "Can I bring my roommate along too?"
Wanting to show off his generosity in front of Han Jiaoyan, Lu Yuan nodded.
"That’s fine, consider it my treat to you guys."
No sooner had Lu Yuan finished speaking than Han Jiaoyan looked at Wu Bin with twinkling eyes.
"Wu Bin, are you interested in hearth tea boiling?"
Wu Bin nodded seriously.
"Of course, I’ve always liked these elegant activities."
Han Jiaoyan continued, "Then, can I join you? I’d like to learn how to brew tea too."
Defense shattered, folks.
Lu Yuan’s hand holding his cup was shaking, shaking like Parkinson’s disease.
What the hell!
I just invited you, and you said you weren’t interested.
Now that you hear Wu Bin is going, you want to tag along?
This is like slapping my face in front of everyone!
Xu Qian also chimed in from the side, "Count me in too."
Wu Bin suddenly felt his scalp tingle.
Count in what, damn it!
I’m just going to freeload a meal and check out the competition.
Why are you two even joining the hustle!
Just as Wu Bin was about to refuse, Guo Xiong suddenly spoke up with a smile:
"Since everyone’s interested in hearth tea boiling, maybe Lu Yuan can invite us all to play later?"
Guo Xiong’s suggestion brightened Lu Yuan’s eyes.
Yeah!
If he invited everyone, then he could go along naturally, right?
Gotta hand it to Guo Xiong, the man’s got brains!
