You all chase after the innocent school beauty, then I'll choose the rebellious female school b

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Wuhan was still bustling with activity.

As soon as Lu Yuan and his group left the hotel, they took a taxi to meet Pineapple Brother.

Lu Yuan sat in the passenger seat, staring at his phone and barely speaking the whole way. Gao Zhe and the two girls sat in the back. He hadn't slept well the night before and was a little sleepy, so he closed his eyes to rest. Ye Yixian and Wang Qingyu huddled together, whispering to each other.

At first, Wang Qingyu thought she was just too drunk to be so impatient last night. But when she found out she had been drugged, she wasn't as angry as Ye Yixian. Instead, she found it a bit exciting.

Only she and Gao Zhe probably know the specifics of how she was stimulated.

Ye Yixian pinched Wang Qingyu's cheek and said seriously, "You big brat, this time it was only because our boyfriends were both around that a major disaster didn't happen. What if something had happened if they hadn't been there?"

Wang Qingyu pouted and said with a wronged look, "I just think it's more exciting to be with Gao Zhe. I definitely wouldn't want to be with anyone else."

Ye Yixian didn't say anything more to her.

The two people had completely different attitudes afterward when faced with this situation, mostly due to differences in their family education.

Ye Yixian was born into a broken family and was left to fend for himself from a young age. No one cared for him or looked after him, and his childhood was very difficult. As a child who had grown up on the streets, he longed for a stable and prosperous life.

Now that she's with Lu Yuan, she has the peaceful life she's always dreamed of, and naturally she doesn't want any more accidents to happen. She just wants to live out her life in peace and tranquility.

Wang Qingyu was different from her. As an only child, with living parents who doted on her and strictly controlled her from a young age, almost restricting her freedom, she was extremely rebellious during her adolescence, though she didn't show it in front of her family. Her desire for excitement never stopped.

Fortunately, Wang Qingyu was relatively restrained when seeking thrills and did not actually do anything reckless.

Before long, the four of them arrived at the restaurant.

Pineapple Bro had been waiting at the door for a long time. As soon as he saw Lu Yuan, he cupped his hands and smiled, "Brother Yuan, Happy New Year! I've finally been waiting for you."

He then turned to Ye Yixian and Wang Qingyu, bowing repeatedly: "I'm so sorry, sisters-in-law. It was really Xiao Zhu who acted on her own last night. If I had known beforehand, I would never have let her do that to you. Are you alright? Do you feel unwell anywhere? If you're not feeling well, go to the hospital right away. I'll pay for it."

Ye Yixian and Wang Qingyu remained somewhat wary of Pineapple Brother, and simply shook their heads.

My head hurt a little when I woke up this morning, but it's fine now.

"Alright, let's go eat first." Lu Yuan waved his hand, signaling Pineapple Brother to lead the way.

Pineapple Bro quickly led everyone to the private room, explaining along the way that small doses of the drug were harmless and not addictive, but overdosing would still cause damage to the body.

Xiao Zhu was just playing a prank; he definitely wouldn't dare release too many.

Lu Yuan asked what those medicines were specifically.

Pineapple Brother shook his head, saying he didn't know the details either. It was probably some kind of aphrodisiac or date rape drug, banned in China and impossible to buy through legitimate channels. The source of the drug through unofficial channels was likely from Southeast Asia.

Lu Yuan gave Pineapple Bro a meaningful look.

Pineapple Bro paused for a moment, then smiled knowingly and said, "Brother Yuan, don't overthink it. My business has nothing to do with these things. Let me put it this way, if I ever get caught, at worst I'll spend my life in jail, I'm not going to be eating peanuts."

He wasn't lying about that. If he had touched that harmful powder and made ten million, he would definitely be in big trouble.

Pineapple Bro added, "Only girls like Xiao Zhuo who do those things because they like excitement. I never do them. You know, Yuan Ge, Zhe Ge, even if I'm not a good person, I'm not a bad one either. I have money. If I like a girl, I just pay for it. I don't need to drug her, right?"

"Alright, alright, your two sisters-in-law won't listen to this, no need to say anything more."

Lu Yuan glanced at Ye Yixian and Wang Qingyu.

Ye Yixian really didn't like these messy things; she only hoped that her future life would be ordinary and peaceful.

But Wang Qingyu seemed particularly interested.

Upon entering the private room, they found only Xiao Zhuo inside. She was sitting there, idly playing Snake.

This wasn't a bar, and she wasn't dressed as provocatively as last night; instead, she wore a fur-trimmed coat. With her heavy makeup, she exuded a mature, womanly charm.

Her makeup was even more exaggerated than last night. Others might not know, but Pineapple Bro's group all knew perfectly well that Pineapple Bro had hit her last night, and her face was a little swollen, so she deliberately wore heavy makeup to cover it up.

Seeing Lu Yuan and the others enter, she put away her phone, her face expressionless, clearly outwardly compliant but inwardly resentful.

When Ye Yixian saw her, a hint of displeasure flashed across his face.

"Please make yourselves at home," Pineapple Brother warmly invited everyone to sit down, and then asked the waiter to come and take their order.

Before serving the dishes, Pineapple Bro said to Xiao Zhuo, "I told you, Yuan Ge and Zhe Ge have been kind to me. I, Pineapple Bro, am a man of honor, and I believe in repaying kindness tenfold. They will always be my brothers, and their partners are naturally my sisters-in-law. So, Xiao Zhuo, you'd better apologize to your two sisters-in-law right away."

All eyes turned to Xiao Zhuo.

Xiao Zhuo was still reluctant, but he still stood up and bowed to Lu Yuan and the others: "I'm sorry, I just wanted to make a joke. We could make jokes like this when we were in Southeast Asia."

"This isn't abroad," Lu Yuan said coldly.

Xiao Zhuo paused, then remained silent.

Pineapple Bro quickly smoothed things over: "Hehe, Brother Yuan is right. Foreign countries have their own customs, and China has its own rules. We shouldn't bring bad habits from abroad back to China. Did you hear that, Xiao Zhuo? Brother Yuan is giving you a heads-up."

"Okay," Xiao Zhu replied casually, clearly still unconvinced.

As they talked, Pineapple Bro asked with a laugh, "Brother Yuan, I've never been to university, so I don't know what university is like. I heard it's very free, and teachers don't care if you date?"

"Well, teachers usually don't care about these things," Lu Yuan said.

"Oh! What a pity, I didn't study hard back then, otherwise I would have gone to university and experienced what it's like to be a female college student. You don't know, those forty-year-old aunties I met pretending to be female college students, it made me so angry."

His rant actually made everyone laugh.

After all the dishes were served, everyone ate and chatted. Gao Zhe was quite interested in Pineapple Brother's interesting stories abroad, while Pineapple Brother was full of curiosity about university life.

They are the same age, yet they are walking completely different paths in life.

At this moment, Lu Yuan deeply understood the importance of making choices.

Did Pineapple Bro make the wrong choice?

Lu Yuan thought it was unlikely. He enjoyed wealth and luxury for over a decade, only to end up in prison. If he hadn't taken that path, he might not have faced imprisonment, but he might never have known what a million dollars looked like, let alone experienced that kind of extravagant lifestyle.

When they were almost finished eating, Ye Yixian, who had been silent all along, suddenly leaned close to Lu Yuan and whispered, "Lu Yuan, there's a shopping mall nearby. I'd like to go there and buy something."

"Do you want me to come with you?" Lu Yuan asked.

Ye Yixian shook his head and smiled, "Qingyu and I will go."

"Alright, you guys go ahead."

The shopping mall was just across the street, so Lu Yuan wasn't worried.

After receiving Lu Yuan's consent, Ye Yixian pulled Wang Qingyu to her feet and then looked at Xiao Zhuo: "Do you want to come along?"

"I?"

Xiao Zhuo, who was drinking soup, was stunned for a moment, thinking that Ye Yixian was not calling her.

"Yeah, let's go shopping together." Ye Yixian gave a handsome smile.

Lu Yuan and the others immediately sensed something was wrong. Were Ye Yixian and Xiao Zhuo very close? Why did he even invite her to go shopping?

As everyone was wondering, Ye Yixian laughed and said, "We've become friends through a misunderstanding, don't you think?"

Ye Yixian's smile looked harmless.

After a brief moment of surprise, Xiao Zhuo smiled easily and said, "Okay, we've become friends through this little misunderstanding. Let's go for a walk together."

"Yixian." Lu Yuan grabbed Ye Yixian's hand.

Ye Yixian returned his smile with a relaxed one, indicating that he didn't need to worry.

"Okay, go early and come back early. Call me if you need anything."

"good!"

After Ye Yixian finished speaking, he left the private room with Wang Qingyu and Xiao Zhuo.
