Rebirth: At the beginning, the cool school beauty was caught stealing in the supermarket

Chapter 739 I'm very interested in you.
"I don't have any romantic feelings for Li Bowen."

"Shuang and I are good buddies. How can good buddies like each other?"

The above is Ruan Yueru's response to the possibility that "Li Bowen is indeed confessing his feelings".

Below is what Lu Yuanqiu relayed to Cao Shuang: Ruan Yueru's reply to "Do you like Cao Shuang?"

The two responses were completely different. Although it was a bit sad and exaggerated to say it like that, Ruan Yueru seemed to be beginning to realize the difference between romantic love and brotherly love.

Not easy.

Upon thinking of this, Cao Shuang couldn't help but smile and returned the phone to her.

Change is good, but Cao Shuang can't help but worry that when Ruan Yueru realizes that he is not only "Brother Shuang" but also "one of the ordinary suitors", will she also reject "Brother Shuang's" affections, just as she just rejected Li Bowen?
Cao Shuang stared at the profile beneath the wet hair, gradually losing focus.

He had never thought Ruan Yueru was so beautiful.

She was so beautiful, just like the stars he saw on TV when he was a child, and she possessed a strong, alluring feminine charm that attracted him.

Cao Shuang couldn't help but reach out to touch the strands of hair that fell beside Ruan Yueru's ear. Before his hand could touch her, the kitchen door opened.

Cao Shuang awkwardly withdrew his hand, and Ruan Yueru immediately turned around and saw her mother carrying food towards the dining room.

"Dinner's ready! Dinner's ready!" Ruan Yueru jumped up excitedly.

"Dinner's ready! Dinner's ready!" Little Luo... ptooey, the little brat echoed his sister's shout, jumping off Cao Shuang's lap and excitedly following behind Ruan Yueru.

Ruan Yueru turned around and hugged her younger brother.

"Brother Shuang, hurry up! Dinner's ready! I'm going to down three bowls today!" Ruan Yueru pointed to the sky with one finger, her momentum unstoppable.

Cao Shuang laughed heartily.

He looked at Ruan's mother and found that she was also looking him over. Cao Shuang's smile faded a bit, and the hand that was about to touch Ruan Yueru's hair couldn't help but grab his pants.

The atmosphere at the five-person dinner table was strange, with only Ruan Yueru and her younger brother diligently eating.

This was the most awkward meal Cao Shuang ever ate in his life, so rare that it could be engraved on his epitaph.

"Is Xiao Cao a local from Lucheng?" asked Mr. Ruan, who looked like a high-level executive from a large company, wearing a white shirt.

Cao Shuang shook his head: "I'm from Luxi County, but I've lived in the city for seven or eight years."

Mr. Ruan smiled and nodded: "Oh, so you plan to settle down here in the future, right?"

"Uh, we'll see..." Cao Shuang scratched his thigh under the table, his palms sweaty.

His mother went back to her hometown, and he gave up the house he had rented here for seven or eight years. Now he has nowhere to live in Lucheng... Settle down? He can't afford a toilet in Lucheng even if he has all his savings.

Although Ruan's mother had been observing Cao Shuang, Ruan's father was clearly more talkative than her, and Ruan Yueru's personality was probably mostly inherited from her father.

Mr. Ruan: "I have lived here for seven or eight years and most of my friends are here. I would like to settle down here in the future. My biggest regret is that when I was young, my schools were all over the country and my friends were all over the country. I was too lazy to go to their weddings because they were too far away."

He raised his hand as he spoke, shaking his head in distress.

"Haha," Cao Shuang responded with a laugh.

He glanced at Ruan Yueru next to him; she was eating with gusto, her lips still greasy.

"You, a girl, can't you eat more quietly?" Mr. Ruan said, looking at his daughter.

Ruan Yueru stopped talking for a moment, then, taking advantage of the situation, opened her mouth wide and picked up a plate of food, shoveling it directly into her mouth.

"what--"

This scene seems to happen often. The younger brother next to him imitates him in a very serious manner, picking up the cute toddler bowl. His little mouth is open, but the porridge spills all over his face.

Ruan's father: "You brat, we're eating, why are you washing your face with porridge?"

"This is a real man..." Cao Shuang affirmed in his heart.

"Thank goodness it's just cold porridge, my little darling." The nanny stepped forward to wipe the little guy's cheeks, and then Mrs. Ruan spoke up: "You should learn more from your sister what manliness is. You're such a good little boy, why do you have to dress up like a little girl?"

She was implying something, clearly indicating that the son's appearance was the work of Ruan's father.

Mr. Ruan looked down at his phone, seemingly unconcerned that it was none of his business.

The atmosphere here is quite nice, Cao Shuang thought to himself.

But he could tell that Mrs. Ruan didn't like him very much.

……

Uncle: How did the birthday party go?

How's it going? How am I supposed to explain this to you, Uncle...? Lu Yuanqiu stared at his phone.

The current situation is that the stockings must be original, new ones won't do, and they must be taken off... But in this kind of situation, unless you see the other party committing murder, how could you possibly agree to such a perverted request?

Lu Yuanqiu pretended not to see his uncle's message and put his phone in his pocket.

The four groups have now split up, but they are all wandering aimlessly in pairs. No one can bring up this request naturally, not even Liu Wangchun.

Lu Yuanqiu and Dai Yidan walked side by side, feeling that the beginning was somewhat dreamlike.

"What are you thinking, Junior Lu? Do you wonder why Senior Dai, who can give a speech to students at Zhuhai University, would come up with such bizarre game rules?" Dai Yidan walked by with a smile.

Lu Yuanqiu frowned: "No, no, no, I was thinking about how to prove that the stockings are original. We'd need someone to verify them, and that's such a thankless task..."

Dai Yidan paused for a moment.

Lu Yuanqiu burst into laughter: "Just kidding."

He turned around and confessed, "Since you've brought it up yourself, I'm really curious too. How did you..."

Lu Yuanqiu's smile was strange, and he left his words unsaid.

Dai Yidan sat down in a seat, crossing her right leg, which was covered in shredded meat, over her left leg. She looked up and explained, "Because I'm very interested in you, extremely interested."

Lu Yuanqiu glanced at her legs and then sat down.

"Interested in me... what does that have to do with the rules of the game of collecting used stockings?"

Dai Yidan: "As I said, in such a high-class, public setting, everyone present is someone of high status and influence. How could any woman possibly agree to take off her stockings and offer them to someone? You college students would never dare to ask."

"Therefore, a team of two women who both wear stockings is almost guaranteed to win."

Lu Yuanqiu nodded... Although he was comfortable asking for the stockings, he couldn't ask for them because everyone here knew him. If he did, no matter the reason, the Lu family's reputation would be damaged because of him. It wouldn't be good to do that in front of Bai Qingxia, even if it was for official business.

Dai Yidan: "During the time I was observing you guys, I figured out the relationships between you. Bai Xuemei is the kind of girl who won't get close to any other man or strange woman except her boyfriend and best friend, while that high school student is very clingy to your keyboardist."

"So I either team up with Junior Liu or with you. If I team up with Junior Liu, I'm guaranteed to win, and then I can make a request of you."

Dai Yidan wiggled her high heels as she spoke, and leaned closer to Lu Yuanqiu with a smile: "If I team up with you, I can spend some time alone with you and ask you some questions."

Lu Yuanqiu avoided Dai Yidan's ambiguous gaze.
