This person really knows how to be reborn!

Xia Ning really wanted to reply with "yes," but she didn't have the confidence to do so.

Zhong Lingyu continued, "It's obvious you're not Zeng Cheng's girlfriend, so what does my relationship with Zeng Cheng have to do with you? Xia Ning, don't you find your possessiveness towards Zeng Cheng utterly inexplicable?"

"You...I..."

Xia Ning met Zhong Lingyu's gaze and quickly gave in.

She and Chung Ling-yu are equally good-looking and have similar auras, but she is clearly in the wrong.

"You sly fox, I can't be bothered talking to you," Xia Ning said, looking at Zeng Cheng. "You said you'd love me forever!"

Zeng Cheng couldn't help but roll his eyes: "I did say that, but I already took it back when you made a fool of me at the KTV that day."

Xia Ning was clearly guilty.

After a moment of averted glances, she mustered her courage again.

"Zeng Cheng, I admit I was wrong, okay? Confess your feelings to me again now, and I'll accept it. I'll also try my best to treat you well from now on!"

Zeng Cheng remained silent.

As the saying goes, sometimes people apologize to you not because they know they were wrong, but because they know they are about to die.

He pointed to the entrance of Shujinlou.

Xia Ning asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

Zeng Cheng shrugged: "Xia Ning, if you don't want to eat, turn right after entering the school gate and walk 100 meters, there's a school bus back to Jiang'an Community. Take care, I won't see you off."

Xia Ning: "..."

If it were the old Miss Xia, she would have grabbed her bag and left.

But seeing Zhong Lingyu sitting to Zeng Cheng's left, she held back—she couldn't grant this sly fox's wish.

"Hmph, I'm not leaving," Xia Ning said, giving herself an out. "Zeng Cheng, I want to drink yogurt!"

Zeng Cheng rolled his eyes, but still called over a waiter and asked him to bring Xia Ning a bottle of yogurt.

Otherwise, why not give her that way out and let her continue acting out "Empresses in the Palace" with this woman?

I don't know if Xia Ning was awkward or not, but Cheng Ge was incredibly awkward.

The waiter said politely, "Sorry, sir, we don't have yogurt here, but the supermarket next door does."

Zeng Cheng looked at Xia Ning: "Did you hear that? There's one next door."

Xia Ning said angrily, "My feet hurt, go buy them for me."

Zeng Cheng was about to retort with "take it or leave it," when Zhong Lingyu spoke up: "Junior, I also want to drink yogurt."

This shows just how high Chung Ling-Yu's emotional intelligence is.

Her words essentially gave Zeng Cheng a way out.

"All right--"

Zeng Cheng got up and went to the supermarket next door to buy yogurt.

After he left, Xia Ning glared at Zhong Lingyu: "You sly fox, are you crazy? I want to drink yogurt, and you want some too?"

Zhong Lingyu shrugged: "You're so strange. If you can drink, why can't I?"

"You vixen, don't think I can't see through you. You just want to date Zeng Cheng! Give me a break. Zeng Cheng has liked me since junior high. What makes you think you can compete with me?"

"Wow, you're so charming! You managed to make Zeng Cheng like you for six years... So here's the question: why aren't you Zeng Cheng's girlfriend now? He really dislikes you and doesn't even want to talk to you. Can't you tell?"

"..."

Xia Ning was quickly shut down by the criticism.

The three brothers from 606 were completely dumbfounded by this process.

Right now, two goddesses are fighting over Zeng Cheng because of him!

The sense of disparity in the feelings of the three brothers was immediately amplified.

Zeng Laoliu, that sixth brother, he's not even here anymore, yet he still managed to spit in their faces. Isn't that going too far?

No, the script is wrong!

Two beautiful ladies, what we want to see is a chaotic scene, not a drama like Empresses in the Palace!

At this moment, Li Xingzhi received a call from Zeng Cheng.

"Hey, come to the supermarket checkout next door, I don't have any money..."

The mobile phone that Li Xingzhi is using now is the same model as Chen Yuliang's, also a Tianyu.

The name Tianyu is truly fitting; the speaker is incredibly loud. It sounds like it's on speakerphone when it's off, and when it's on speakerphone, it's like plugging in a speaker.

Everyone heard what Zeng Cheng said.

Before Li Xingzhi could even get up, Zhong Lingyu grabbed her purse: "I'll go."

"I'm going too!"

Xia Ning bit her lip but followed suit.

She would never let that vixen be alone with Zeng Cheng!

So when the two entered the supermarket next door, they saw the following scene.

Led by Mi Lai, several girls surrounded Zeng Cheng.

Qu Xiaoxiao spoke first: "Zeng Cheng, do you like Mi Lai?"

Zeng Cheng: "???"

I like Mi Lai, how come your brother Cheng doesn't know?

Surprised, he glanced at Milai.

Mi Lai immediately raised her pink chin, her little expression incredibly arrogant.

"Zeng Cheng, you want to pursue Mi Lai, but Chen Yuliang from your dorm told me, so how could it be false?" Qu Xiaoxiao became increasingly aggressive. "It's not that I'm criticizing you, but you clearly like Mi Lai a lot, yet you don't dare admit it in front of her. You're such a coward!"

Zeng Cheng grew increasingly furious as he listened: "Qu Xiaoxiao, what Chen Yuliang said to you is his business. I'm telling you very clearly now, I have no intention of pursuing Mi Lai!"

"Tch, you're just saying that to get it off your face," Qu Xiaoxiao said with disdain. "Zeng Cheng, why don't you confess to Mi Lai right now? Maybe she'll say yes?"

Zeng Cheng: "..."

Before he could speak, Mi Lai spoke up.

"Forget it—Zeng Cheng, I'm here to make things clear. Please put away your inappropriate thoughts, and then take a good look in the mirror. Don't be a toad trying to eat swan meat!"

Upon hearing this, the girls burst into laughter.

Suddenly entering a new environment, the boys formed cliques, and the girls also formed factions.

These girls clearly centered their attention around Mi Lai.

Zeng Cheng is a very emotionally stable person, but at this moment he was also inexplicably angry.

She was so ordinary, yet so confident.

Just then, Zhong Lingyu and Xia Ning walked over side by side.

Mi Lai, Qu Xiaoxiao, and several other girls were instantly drawn to the two stunning beauties.

Zhong Lingyu and the others definitely recognized her; they were thoroughly amazed by her at the freshman orientation.

Who is that beautiful woman with an oval face?

She's so beautiful, every feature is exquisite, like a princess who escaped from Disney.

Even someone as proud and arrogant as Mi Lai couldn't help but feel a sense of inferiority at this moment.

How do I describe it?

Both Mi Lai and Xia Ning belong to the type of charming actresses, but the difference between them is obvious.

Standing in front of Xia Ning, Mi Lai felt as if she were a knock-off version of him.

Zhong Lingyu was one step ahead of Xia Ning.

While Xia Ning was still taking out her wallet, she handed Zeng Cheng one hundred yuan.

Zeng Cheng took the money, paid the bill from the shopkeeper, and prepared to leave.

Otherwise, would it be necessary to slap Mi Lai and Qu Xiaoxiao in the face before one can achieve enlightenment?

It's not that bad, your brother Cheng has a broad perspective.

Xia Ning and Zhong Lingyu, however, did not leave.

Zhong Lingyu spoke first: "Mi Lai, the teacher heard your conversation just now. Let's not even talk about whether Zeng Cheng likes you or not—I think it's highly unlikely—you're classmates after all, how could you call Zeng Cheng a toad?"

Mi Lai's eyes were timid: "Teacher Zhong, I'm sorry..."

Zhong Lingyu waved her hand: "You don't need to apologize to me, Zeng Cheng is right there."

Mi Lai looked at Zeng Cheng, but didn't apologize. With so many sisters watching, she was too proud to admit it!

Zeng Cheng shook his head: "No, even if you apologize to me, Mi Lai, I won't understand. To be honest, we toads and you swans don't even share the same language."

Mi Lai's face instantly turned red, embarrassed and annoyed, angry and frustrated, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

At this moment, a certain young lady entered the scene.

"Your name is Mi Lai?" Xia Ning walked slowly up to Mi Lai and said arrogantly, "I think Zeng Cheng is quite handsome and doesn't need to look in the mirror. You're the one who should look in the mirror more often. To be honest, if I were as ugly as you, I wouldn't dare to go out."

"puff--"

Zeng Chengshi couldn't hold back his laughter any longer, and his shoulders twitched uncontrollably.

Mi Lai is considered a beauty.

Zhong Lingyu and Xia Ning are both exceptionally beautiful women, one in a million.

There are at least two major tiers of difference between them, enough to constitute a "dimensional reduction attack".

Why did Zeng Cheng not be able to stop laughing?

He thought Milley was even more awesome than the solar system, having been hit by two [two-dimensional foils] in a minute.

"you--"

Mi Lai glared at Xia Ning, but quickly gave in.

They are all glamorous actresses, but Xia Ning is undoubtedly at the top of this food chain, with her phoenix eyes, delicate nose, and cherry lips, every part of her is exquisite.

After just two or three seconds of eye contact, Mi Lai had a strange feeling—the other person was a young lady, and she was a maid.

Miley had no more courage and turned to flee.

Qu Xiaoxiao and the other girls stood there dumbfounded.

Xia Ning glared at him with her phoenix eyes: "You're all girls in Zeng Cheng's class, right? What, you also think he's a toad?"

Even Mi Lai couldn't withstand Miss Xia's aura, let alone ordinary people like Qu Xiaoxiao.

They fled in a disheveled state.

They weren't exactly routed, but they were certainly fleeing in disarray.

Even after leaving the supermarket, Miley's head was still buzzing.

Two two-dimensional foils, whoever touches them knows what's going on!

Qu Xiaoxiao caught up with her: "Xiaomi, wait, let me explain—"

Mi Lai turned around and looked at Qu Xiaoxiao: "Don't talk to me!"

She just made a complete fool of herself in the supermarket.

The reason for this is none other than Qu Xiaoxiao, this fake information broker, who insisted that Zeng Cheng liked her.

Without this groundwork, no matter how good she felt about herself, she would never have gone to seduce Zeng Cheng.

"Xiaomi, I'm sorry..."

Qu Xiaoxiao looked timid and apologized hastily.

Miley didn't accept it and left her behind.

Qu Xiaoxiao stood there, stunned, tears welling up in her eyes.

Zeng Cheng wanted to pursue Mi Lai, and it was Chen Yuliang who told her this with absolute certainty!

Thinking of this, she immediately sentenced the guy to death!

Perhaps because they had just confronted Mi Lai together and then returned to Shujinlou to continue their meal, Xia Ning and Zhong Lingyu were no longer as hostile as before.

However, expecting the two to develop any revolutionary friendship is simply wishful thinking.

Zhong Lingyu was very open and didn't hide her feelings for Zeng Cheng at all.

He was not intimidated by Xia Ning at all.

On the contrary, Xia Ning was at a disadvantage.

During the rest of the meal, Chung Ling-yu kept putting food on Zeng Cheng's plate, and after noticing that Zeng Cheng liked shrimp, she peeled several for him.

That's the kind of girl she is—her love and hate are both exceptionally clear.

Xia Ning watched, her expression growing increasingly bitter.

Zeng Cheng used to only have her in his heart, and he would revolve around her all day long, and he wouldn't even talk to other girls.

So much so that she overlooked the fact that Zeng Cheng was actually quite outstanding.

She's good-looking, has a great figure, and is humorous.

He's still very rich!

With all these factors combined, he's definitely a male god.

He's only just entered university, yet he's already attracted a stunning beauty like Zhong Lingyu.

She still had enough confidence to disregard people like Xiao Qian, but when facing Zhong Lingyu, she really started to panic.

Halfway through the meal, Zeng Cheng and Zhong Lingyu started talking about Ayina.

Chung Ling-yu's relatives work for the famous charity organization known as the Red Cross.

She told Zeng Cheng her idea—to find out about Ayina's situation, compile the information, and have her relative apply for funding from the Red Cross to help Ayina complete her studies.

Zeng Cheng listened but did not agree; instead, he offered another solution.

First of all, he has no good feelings towards the Red Cross.

Secondly, it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.

Zeng Cheng's plan was this: to go to the relevant leaders of the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China and ask the school to provide Ayina with a work-study opportunity.

After listening, Chung Ling-yu first said, "I was inconsiderate," and then asked Zeng Cheng, "Do you know any leaders at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China?"

Zeng Cheng shook his head, saying that he didn't know them, but he could get to know them.

During the summer vacation, he went to great lengths to cultivate goodwill with Goat Meng Zhou, the executive vice president of Sichuan University. And it wasn't for nothing.

You can ask Principal Meng for help with this.

But it would be a waste to bother Meng Zhou with such a small matter.

Favorability points decrease with each use.

But since things have come to this point, let's just accept the loss.

It's because Cheng-ge is a soft-hearted boy.

Why not just directly sponsor Ayina's university education?

First, we need to consider the young girl's self-esteem.

Secondly, the saying goes, "A small favor is appreciated, but a large one is resented." There are countless news stories in later generations of female college students who received financial aid but then repaid kindness with ingratitude.

It's not that Mr. Zeng doesn't completely disbelieve in human nature, but he feels that it's not something to be tested.

As he was thinking, Zhong Lingyu smiled and said, "Zeng Cheng, I'll contact the school leaders at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China!"

Zeng Cheng asked with some doubt, "Senior, do you have connections?"

"Yes," Zhong Lingyu smiled, "my uncle—"

After looking around, she swallowed back what she was about to say.

With so many people around, she felt it wasn't a good idea to say it aloud.

"Anyway... wait for my good news."

"OK."

Zeng Cheng nodded.

Chung Ling-yu clearly comes from a distinguished family, so it's normal for her to have some connections within the family.

After finishing their meal, Wang Zicong, Chen Yuliang, and He Shuhuan made a hasty escape without even wiping their mouths clean.

Otherwise, should we stay and be bullied by Zeng Laoliu?

Poor, these three stubborn newbies who have never even been in a relationship have accidentally stumbled into a high-level battle between two goddesses.

Throughout the entire dinner, the three brothers were at a loss, even feeling extremely uncomfortable.

But they had nowhere to vent their anger—Zeng Laoliu hadn't deliberately provoked them.

Chung Ling-yu also waved goodbye to Tseng Cheng.

She has such high emotional intelligence.

Once Wang Zicong and the others left, all that was left were Zeng Cheng's high school classmates. There was really no need for her to force them together.

In any case, given Zeng Cheng's cold attitude towards Xia Ning, Zhong Lingyu felt that she had a great chance.

And she left a hook at the end of the dinner party.

I told Zeng Cheng's roommates that all the girls in their dorm are single, and that they and Zeng Cheng could organize a get-together for the two dorms sometime.

That's the kind of girl she is.

If you like something, try to get to know it, and then decide whether you want to like it even more.

After Zhong Lingyu left, Zeng Cheng took Xia Ning, Mou Jiajia, and Li Xingzhi on a short tour of the Wangjiang Campus of Sichuan University, and then coaxed and tricked the three of them into leaving.

Otherwise, if you've already freeloaded his lunch, do you expect to freeload his dinner too?

Even the landlord's family had no surplus grain!

Well, Zeng Cheng isn't actually that stingy.

The real reason was that Yu Meiren kept calling him on QQ, saying that she had finished having dinner with her roommates and that Zeng Cheng should go find her.

Moreover, Zeng Cheng had important business to attend to in the afternoon.
