"What's up?" Lu Yuan looked up from his phone screen and glanced at her indifferently.

"Your name is... Lu Yuan, right?" The girl smiled and spoke in a clear voice.

Lu Yuan nodded slightly.

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, her smile deepened, and she leaned closer, squatting down beside Lu Yuan.

Today she was wearing a royal blue one-piece swimsuit, the fabric of which clung to her body and perfectly outlined her beautiful curves.

She tilted her head slightly, a hint of probing in her eyes: "We've been friends before. My name is Li Yitong, I'm in the Foreign Languages ​​Department, do you remember me?"

Actually, I don't remember the name anymore. I have no way of knowing whether the other person introduced themselves when we added each other as friends. Anyway, Lu Yuan didn't even give a nickname.

But out of basic social politeness, he certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to say "I don't remember".

Then, a perfectly timed smile curved his lips: "I remember, Li. What can I do for you?"

"I need to talk to you about something."

Li Yitong spoke with a deliberately coy tone, her gaze fixed on Lu Yuan's face, carefully observing his micro-expressions.

She deliberately wore this provocative swimsuit to get closer, just to see how Lu Yuan would react.

Unfortunately, Lu Yuan's eyes were as calm as a stagnant pool, without even the slightest ripple.

Li Yitong was a little puzzled.

She had interacted with many boys before, some of whom were shy and would stutter when they spoke to her.

Even the boldest people would show some restraint and awkwardness in front of her.

After all, as one of the most beautiful girls in the Foreign Languages ​​Department, her looks and figure are definitely outstanding.

But what about Lu Yuan?

There was no excitement, no amazement, not even the desire to take another look.

This doesn't make sense, does it?

She stood in front of him in her swimsuit, and this man was able to remain completely unmoved?

Is Lu Yuan a normal man or not?

"Just say what you have to say." Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a while, Lu Yuan urged her in a crisp tone.

He was currently chatting with Ye Yixian about their weekend date. If he weren't afraid of appearing rude by ignoring her, he would have already kept typing.

Li Yitong composed herself and gave a pretty, slight smile: "It's not convenient to talk about this here. Lu Yuan, do you have class this afternoon?"

Lu Yuan glanced at her suspiciously; his intuition told him that this girl had ulterior motives.

It wasn't that he was being presumptuous; rather, ever since he made a name for himself and started earning money at school, he had seen quite a few girls who approached him with ulterior motives.

Fortunately, he has always been steadfast in his Daoist beliefs and chooses to ignore all those suitors with impure intentions.

At this point, someone will definitely jump out and say: "He's just a college student who made a little money, and girls are even paying him? That's ridiculous, he's definitely bragging."

All I can say is that it's too small-minded, its perspective is too narrow.

University is also a microcosm of society, and where there is society, there are interpersonal relationships and social customs.

There are many people who know how to navigate social interactions and want to take shortcuts; this has nothing to do with education or knowledge, it's purely human nature.

"Can't we say it now?" Lu Yuan countered.

"It might be a bit troublesome. So let's talk this afternoon, and I'll treat you to lunch while we're at it."

Lu Yuan initially intended to refuse outright, but Li Yitong reacted quickly, clasping her hands together in front of her large chest in a pleading gesture: "Please, please, Lu Yuan, I really need your help. Just give me a chance, I'll treat you to dinner, okay?"

Having said all that and adopted such a humble attitude, if Lu Yuan were to refuse again, he would seem too cold-blooded.

Well then, we're classmates, let's hear what she's really up to.

"Alright then," Lu Yuan reluctantly agreed.

Seeing that he agreed, Li Yitong immediately beamed with joy and stopped pestering him. She then turned around and went swimming with several other girls.

Lu Yuan didn't take it to heart and continued to discuss the weekend date plan with Ye Yixian.

……

In the afternoon, Li Yitong sent a message, having made a reservation at a restaurant near the school.

Lu Yuan gave Zhong Daming some instructions on the tasks at hand, and then went to the appointment alone.

The restaurant had a nice ambiance, and Li Yitong had already arrived.

Despite the freezing weather, she was wearing a low-cut knit sweater, revealing a large expanse of fair skin and delicate collarbones. With just a slight bend, her deep cleavage was on full display.

The sight of her sitting there was indeed a pleasing one to the eye.

Upon seeing Lu Yuan enter, she immediately waved and greeted him happily.

Lu Yuan pulled out a chair and sat down, getting straight to the point: "Just tell me, why did you call me?"

"Uh..." Li Yitong hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself. "Why don't you order some food first, and we can chat while we eat?"

"Alright."

Lu Yuan didn't refuse again. Since he was already there, it wouldn't be appropriate to come on an empty stomach.

Before serving the dishes, Li Yitong tried to warm up the atmosphere with some trivial topics, such as whether she had a lot of homework lately, whether she would choose swimming lessons next semester, and what her plans were for winter break.

Lu Yuan's answers were all perfunctory, after all, he knew in his heart that Li Yitong had obviously come with an ulterior motive, and he instinctively remained on guard.

After all the dishes were served and the two had almost finished eating, Li Yitong finally got to the point.

She put down her chopsticks and hesitated before speaking, "Um... Lu Yuan, I have something I'd like to ask you for a favor."

"Tell me what it is first, and then I'll consider whether to help or not," Lu Yuan said calmly, leaning back in his chair.

Li Yitong breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that he hadn't refused outright.

She leaned forward, deliberately lowering her neckline to reveal more of her cleavage; perhaps she thought this posture would increase her bargaining power.

"Aren't you very familiar with Professor Zhang Qi?" she asked softly.

"Professor Zhang Qi?" Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow, genuinely surprised that the conversation had veered towards Professor Zhang Qi. "We have a pretty good relationship; he's currently my mentor for the Entrepreneurship Challenge Cup. You need to see him about something?"

"It wasn't me who contacted him... no, you could say I was the one who contacted him." Li Yitong seemed somewhat incoherent.

Lu Yuan frowned, a little impatiently: "Just tell me directly, why are you looking for him?"

"Okay... alright."

Li Yitong took a deep breath, then cautiously glanced around to make sure no one was watching before lowering her voice and saying, "Could you ask him to write a letter of recommendation so that one of my very important friends can get an internship at his student's company?"

After all that, it turns out it's this:

Lu Yuan frowned even more deeply.

Seeing this, Li Yitong quickly explained, "It's about a very important friend of mine who's about to graduate. He's majoring in fashion design. The company he wants to work for has a former student of Professor Zhang Qi who's a senior executive there. If Professor Zhang is willing to write him a letter of recommendation, he'll definitely get an internship."

Lu Yuan stared at Li Yitong, his expression becoming very serious.

Stared at like that, Li Yitong stiffened and looked extremely uncomfortable.

After a moment of silence, Lu Yuan slowly spoke: "An important friend? Is it your boyfriend?"

"This..." Li Yitong lowered her head and nodded with difficulty, "Yes, boyfriend."

As soon as she said it, probably afraid that Lu Yuan wouldn't help her if he knew she had a boyfriend, she suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with a mixture of determination and pleading: "Don't worry, as long as you help me, I can repay you. I can go to a hotel with you, tonight."

Lu Yuan: (⊙_⊙)
