Reborn as a landlord in Shanghai

Chapter 128 Further Contact

"What a coincidence, Liu! We seem to run into each other in every class. You didn't take three more classes besides these three, did you?"

As a man, you have to be a little thick-skinned. Besides, if you want to pick up a girl, you have to take the initiative. How can she pay attention to you if you don't? Plus, with such a good opportunity, Mao Xiaoyu greeted her in a joking manner.

"No, I'm not a robot, how could I possibly learn so many courses? I studied music and dance from elementary school, and I mainly came to Hong Kong to study music and dance as well. Now I'm studying television and film, mainly because I want to make things that I like. Television and film are just my minor subjects."

Hearing Mao Xiaoyu's joking words, Liu Yuting blushed, then lowered her head, bit her lip, and shook her head while whispering.

In fact, Liu Yuting was quite surprised by Mao Xiaoyu's question. No boy had ever dared to ask her such a question before. Usually, boys would blush to death when they saw her, unlike Mao Xiaoyu, who was so different.

However, Liu Yuting didn't feel that averse to it, and for some reason, she actually answered the other person's question. Thinking about this, Liu Yuting felt even more embarrassed.

"I didn't expect you to be just like me." Seeing Liu Yuting's shy appearance, Mao Xiaoyu felt a little itchy inside. After hearing what the other party said, she pretended to suddenly realize something and said.

"What, you also studied music and dance since you were little, and now you're studying television and film?"

Liu Yuting asked curiously, after all, it's rare for a boy to learn music and dance from a young age.

"No, I've never formally studied these things. I think the same way you do. I just want to learn these things so I can film things I like," Mao Xiaoyu said pretentiously.

Upon hearing Mao Xiaoyu's words, Li Yuting was a little taken aback, her eyes looking at Mao Xiaoyu with a blank expression.

Seeing Liu Yuting gazing at her with a hazy expression, Mao Xiaoyu's heart skipped a beat.

Imagine how it would feel if a beautiful woman looked at you with innocent, bewildered eyes. That's exactly how Mao Xiaoyu felt right now.

Dad, Mom, I'm in love!

Although Mao Xiaoyu is not planning to get married, he is still willing to have a girlfriend, especially such a beautiful one.

"Look at you, why are you so easily amused? I was just joking with you. By the way, you've been in class for so long, it's time to relax."

"Let's go out and get some coffee. After all, we're classmates now, and strengthening our friendship is a good start."

Mao Xiaoyu shamelessly pressed her advantage, knowing that if she didn't take the initiative, this kind of girl would never take the initiative.

"what!"

Liu Yuting never imagined that there would be such a bold child who, on the very first day of meeting someone, would invite them to have coffee together to build friendship.

"Don't tell me you're not tired after studying for so long? I'm exhausted. I really want to have a cup of coffee to relax and clear my head," Mao Xiaoyu said, touching her eyebrows and feigning concern.

"I'm fine, I'm used to it. I didn't realize I studied for so long." Liu Yuting's voice trailed off as she spoke, and a blush crept onto her face.

Liu Yuting then realized that she wasn't familiar with the other person, so why had she said so much? It was too embarrassing.

"Let's balance work and rest. What are you doing standing here? Are you going to block other people from leaving?" Mao Xiaoyu led the way out.

"Oh." Liu Yuting responded with a "oh" and then, inexplicably, was tricked into following along.

"Liu, where are you from? Judging from your accent, you speak Mandarin quite well, but you also speak Cantonese quite well. You don't seem to be a native of Hong Kong, nor do you seem to be from Shenzhen. I don't know where you're from right now," Mao Xiaoyu asked as she led the way.

"I was originally from Hong Kong, but I went to Malaysia with my parents when I was a child. Now I am a Malaysian Chinese," Liu Yuting said softly.

"No wonder you speak Mandarin so well. After all, very few locals in Hong Kong speak Mandarin exceptionally well. In Malaysia, there are even more Mandarin-speaking Chinese people. Let me introduce myself; I'm from mainland China. If you'd like to visit mainland China in the future..."

"If you have any questions, just ask me, and I'll take you anywhere you like," Mao Xiaoyu said with a smile.

"Uh, I understand." Liu Yuting couldn't refuse Mao Xiaoyu's enthusiasm, so she just gave a perfunctory reply.

Hearing Liu Yuting's perfunctory words, Mao Xiaoyu had no choice. After all, it was their first day meeting, and there were some things she couldn't ask. Besides, the fact that the two of them were like this was already better than most of their classmates.

"You don't know, do you? Our TV and Film Department has to shoot a piece of footage or a short clip every week to submit to the teacher. And everyone has to join a shooting team to increase their shooting experience. You're late, and now you're all alone. How about you join our team this week and shoot together?" Mao Xiaoyu asked.

"Is it really necessary to join the team for this shoot?" Liu Yuting asked with some doubt, after all, she had never heard of such a requirement before.

"You don't have to join the group, but without classmates' help, you won't be able to do a lot of filming. In addition, if you don't cooperate with classmates, the teacher will give your videos a very low evaluation and think you are not suitable for studying television and film."

"Just like when I first filmed a video, I felt that a character was very suitable for outsiders, so I paid someone to film it. In the end, no matter how good the video was, the score I got wasn't very high. If you don't want your score to stay low, then you have to join the filming team," Mao Xiaoyu said.

Hearing this, Liu Yuting didn't say much more, assuming that joining a group was a school rule, so she nodded and said, "Then I'll join your group next week."

"On behalf of our team, I welcome you to join us. Your addition will give our team more manpower, enabling us to produce even better videos," Mao Xiaoyu said with a smile.

In Mao Xiaoyu's view, the first step is to recruit the woman into his group so that everyone can be together every week, and he will work his way up to make her his woman.

After all, men are all like that; they all like beautiful women, let alone women like a pure and innocent lotus flower. So Mao Xiaoyu plans to work harder in the future to make her college life more colorful.

Just as the two were talking and leaving the school, the sight of Mao Xiaoyu and Liu Yuting walking together was seen by many students on campus.

"Wow, this girl is so pretty! Is she from our school? I've never seen her before!" A third-year student exclaimed upon seeing Liu Yuting.

"Yeah, yeah, she's prettier than a celebrity. I've never seen a girl like her before. Is she a new student?" The friend next to the boy who had spoken earlier chimed in.

"By the way, who's that guy next to him? He looks like a pretty boy. Is he also a freshman in our year?" another boy chimed in.

"They look quite well-matched walking together. Do you think they might have known each other for a long time and are just dating again at school?" a girl who loves to daydream complained to her friend.

"How could that be? Look at that guy, he's walking in front of the girl, and she's been chasing after him. You can tell at a glance that the girl wants to pursue the guy. Maybe our handsome guy doesn't even look at this woman, that's why he's walking so fast." The girl's friend stared at Mao Xiaoyu with a fierce look and couldn't help but say sourly.

"By the way, isn't that Mao Xiaoyu? And isn't that Liu Yuting, the new classmate who came today? Why are they walking together? Do they know each other?" Xiong Ba happened to see Mao Xiaoyu and Liu Yuting on the way and couldn't help but ask.

"Hey kid, do you actually know these two students, a boy and a girl? Which class are they in?" A senior student next to Xiong Ba asked quickly after hearing Xiong Ba's question.

"I know, but why should I tell you? I'm not going to say it," Xiong Ba said domineeringly.

Mao Xiaoyu paid no attention to the commotion around her. She wasn't friends with these people, and her main concern was chasing women.

"I'm sorry, Mao, I probably can't go have coffee with you. My driver has already come to pick me up, and I have to go home on time, otherwise my parents will complain. So thank you for today, goodbye." Liu Yuting felt more confident after seeing her family's car and said directly.

"What?" Before Mao Xiaoyu knew what was going on, she saw Liu Yuting finish speaking and walk towards her car.

Mao Xiaoyu then discovered that a Rolls-Royce was already parked at the school gate, waiting for Liu Yuting. This forced Mao Xiaoyu to face the fact that Liu Yuting was not only beautiful, but also seemed to come from a very powerful family.

To have a Rolls-Royce to pick someone up in Hong Kong, Liu Yuting's family must be a multi-millionaire family.

Thinking about this, Mao Xiaoyu touched her chin, feeling that winning over Liu Yuting had become a bit more difficult, which was quite interesting.

Liu Yuting quickly walked to her car, then turned around and waved to Mao Xiaoyu, saying, "I won't have coffee today, I'll treat you next time. Bye, Mao."

After saying this, he got into his car, waved from inside, and told the driver to drive away.

Seeing Liu Yuting leave like that, Mao Xiaoyu smiled and said in a voice she could hear, "Okay, let's have a proper cup of coffee next time."

Originally, Mao Xiaoyu was also preparing to leave after seeing Liu Yuting leave.

Suddenly, a figure darted out from beside her and yelled at Mao Xiaoyu, "Damn, you're really something! It's only the first day, and you're already this close with her! I thought I was seeing things. I can't believe you two are together! What kind of world is this? Can handsome people really do whatever they want?"

Hearing the voice, Mao Xiaoyu knew it was Tian Fang. She then said in a pretentious tone, "Oh, it's you! You scared me! Why are you shouting like that? Liu Yuting and I are just classmates. Can't classmates walk together after class?"

After saying this, he gave Tian Fang a disdainful look.

"You're lying. Everyone in the entire performing arts school knows you two are together. Besides, I'm not blind. Classmates don't walk like that," Tian Fang said, looking unconvinced.

"Fine, fine, fine, think what you want. I have nothing to hide. I will never admit to something I didn't do," Mao Xiaoyu quickly said, trying to deflect the question.

Mao Xiaoyu wasn't afraid of having contact with Liu Yuting. The problem was that the two of them really had no relationship right now. If they did have a relationship, it would be fine to accept other people's hostility. But since they didn't have a relationship, and she hadn't even gotten the grapes yet, she was already accepting other people's hostility. Mao Xiaoyu definitely wouldn't stand for that.

"But I see that the relationship between you two seems a bit unusual." Tian Fang was still thinking about Mao Xiaoyu and Liu Yuting, and his expression showed his unwillingness.

"We only met once today, how is it any different? You're overthinking it. She's just a regular classmate. If she were a real girlfriend, the feeling would be different. Never mind, you wouldn't understand even if I told you. You'll know how to get along with a girlfriend when you have one in the future," Mao Xiaoyu said pretentiously.

"You don't even have a girlfriend, so what makes you think you know what it's like to have one?" Tian Fang said defiantly.

"Who said I don't have a girlfriend? Which eye of yours saw that I don't have a girlfriend? Next time I have time, I'll bring my girlfriend over for you to see, so you can see if I have a girlfriend or not," Mao Xiaoyu said disdainfully.

"Really?" Tian Fang was a little unsure. After all, Wang Xiaoyu was so handsome, it was hard to say whether he had a girlfriend.

"Of course, that's right. Come on, Lao Tian, ​​I'll treat you to a cup of coffee to perk you up. Relax your nerves and stop overthinking." Mao Xiaoyu grabbed the shoulder in front of her and led her out.

And so, the two of them arrived at the coffee shop, ordered two coffees, and chatted while eating!

They talked about things at school. After all, Tian Fang was a big mouth and liked to hear gossip, so he had quite a lot to say.

After finishing their coffee, Mao Xiaoyu parted ways with Tian Fang and went home separately.
