A sophomore in college starts by getting a marriage certificate with a female CEO.

[Ding! Host treated his brother to a lavish meal, successfully moving him. Mission complete!]

[Reward: 10000 yuan!]

Seeing the system notification, Lu Yang couldn't help but smile.

You know, this meal would only cost a couple thousand at most, but the system directly rewarded me with ten thousand. What a steal!

"Father, tell me quickly, who are you going to kill?"

The three men looked at Lu Yang with loyal expressions and serious faces.

It was as if they would immediately take the enemy's head at Lu Yang's command.

"What are you thinking about? Hurry up and eat!"

Lu Yang was helpless.

It's just a meal, no need to make such a fuss.

Besides, he's not a bodyguard.

Just then, a few more people entered through the restaurant door.

Wang Hao glanced towards the door and spotted a familiar figure: "Holy crap, godfather, look who's here!"

Lu Yang followed his gaze.

Yuan Xiangrong's chubby face was easy to recognize, and the person next to him was Wang Ziying.

Not only that, but there were also several other classmates involved.

"What a small world!"

Wang Hao pursed his lips and lowered his voice: "This fat guy chose to eat here too?"

Lu Yang didn't take it seriously and continued eating.

It was Yuan Xiangrong who first noticed their table.

After all, their booths were in a rather conspicuous location, and with a pile of fancy dishes on the table, anyone would take a second look.

Yuan Xiangrong was stunned for a moment.

He remembered that Lu Yang was dirt poor, and just last month he had argued with the cafeteria lady for half a day over a one-yuan egg.

How did he end up at this store?

Why did you order so many dishes?

"Lu Yang?"

Yuan Xiangrong walked over and glanced around the table.

Lu Yang picked up a piece of abalone and put it in his mouth without even raising his head, too lazy to pay any attention to him.

Yuan Xiangrong's smile froze slightly: "Well, when did you become so generous?"

"None of your business!"

Lu Yang continued eating.

Seeing this, the classmate next to him couldn't help but swallow hard.

The dishes on the table look incredibly fancy.

Even if they come here to eat, they won't order this much at once, and they'll have to pack up the leftovers to take home.

On the contrary, why did Lu Yang order so many dishes? When did he become so rich?

"Godfather, do you need our help?"

Three assassins quietly approached and asked.

As soon as Lu Yang speaks, they will immediately take him down.

"I'll go get a plastic bag."

"I'm going to get the fish from the refrigerator."

"I'll take care of cleaning up."

The three had a clear division of labor.

Lu Yang shook his head helplessly: "No need."

Wang Ziying stood next to Yuan Xiangrong, her gaze also falling on the dishes on the table.

When Lu Yang was pursuing her, he would feel bad for half a day even if he bought a regular cup of milk tea that cost twenty yuan.

Once on Valentine's Day, Lu Yang gave her a necklace that cost two hundred yuan, but she thought it was too cheap and put it in her drawer without ever wearing it.

Now, he's actually having a big meal here with his three roommates?

And they ordered so many dishes at once!

She was even more generous than when she treated me to a meal before!

"Pack!"

Yuan Xiangrong finally couldn't help but speak up.

"Lu Yang, you're something else! To impress us, you must have spent all your living expenses this month, right? Or did you take out a loan from some shady online lending platform?"

"Why bother? We're classmates, why are you pretending?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Hao slammed down his chopsticks.

"Fatty Yuan, what nonsense are you spouting? Old Yang earned his money honestly and openly. What's wrong with him having a meal?"

"You earned it yourself?"

Yuan Xiangrong laughed out loud: "This meal costs at least one or two thousand. What kind of job does he do to earn that much? Handing out flyers or waiting tables? Lu Yang, don't blame me for not warning you, online loan interest rates are outrageous. When the debt collectors call the school, you can forget about going to university."

Wang Ziying feigned concern: "Lu Yang, don't be like this. I know you were upset yesterday, but you don't need to gamble with your future. What's the point of pretending to be something you're not?"

"Besides, as I told you, I'm a slow starter. If you have a little patience, I can consider forgiving you for what happened yesterday."

Forgive me?

Lu Yang put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and smiled.

He raised his head and his gaze fell on Wang Ziying's face.

That face was indeed handsome; he had been blinded by that appearance before.

But now, in his eyes, that face is more like tea!

He's a veteran tea master.

"Who are you? Do you even deserve to be called one?"

Lu Yang said in a calm tone.

Wang Ziying was stunned.

She thought Lu Yang would take the opportunity to apologize and beg for her forgiveness, but she didn't expect him to be so indifferent.

"You..." Wang Ziying's cheeks flushed red.

Li Yunbin pushed up his black-rimmed glasses and added insult to injury: "Old Yang, who's this auntie? Is she your relative?"

Xu Guangkun, with half an abalone still stuffed in his mouth, said, "I don't know. Maybe they're trying to sell us swimming and fitness classes. Auntie, we're not buying any memberships, so please leave quickly and don't disturb our meal."

"you!"

Wang Ziying stomped her feet in anger, her eyes reddening.

When Yuan Xiangrong saw that the goddess had been wronged, he immediately flew into a rage.

"Lu Yang, don't push your luck! Zi Ying was trying to give you some advice, what kind of attitude is this?"

"Excuse me, I don't like drinking 'tea'."

Lu Yang leaned back in his chair: "Besides, your standing here is affecting my appetite, please move aside."

Yuan Xiangrong laughed angrily, "Fine, keep pretending! Don't come crying to me for money when it's time to pay the bill!"

After saying that, he turned around and loudly called for the waiter.

"Waiter! Give us the best private room!"

A waitress in a cheongsam approached and bowed politely.

"Sir, our best private room is the Imperial Pavilion, with a minimum spend of 5,000 yuan. Are you sure you want to make a reservation?"

Five thousand yuan!

Yuan Xiangrong's fat face twitched violently.

He only gets this much pocket money a month. If he eats this meal, he'll be eating dirt for the next two weeks.

Damn it, I should have known better than to pretend!

But by then he had already spoken, and Wang Ziying was still watching from the side, along with several classmates who were also staring at him.

I can't possibly lose face in front of my goddess.

Even if it means putting on a brave face, we have to go for it!

If all else fails, I'll have to resort to online loans to cope with the hunger!

"Certainly!"

Yuan Xiangrong gritted his teeth and squeezed out a single word.

"Five thousand is nothing! I'm rich, I can afford it! Unlike some people, who have to pay off a loan for six months just for one meal!"

The waiter smiled and said, "Yes, sir, please follow me."

Yuan Xiangrong walked into the private room with his head held high and chest out.

Watching their retreating figures, Wang Hao lowered his voice and muttered, "That guy's a real actor!"

Xu Guangkun chimed in, "Hilarious! That fat guy's expression just now was like he'd eaten shit. He's probably really going all out this time."

Lu Yang didn't care.

After all, his expenses this time were entirely covered by the system.

Just then, Lu Yang's phone suddenly vibrated.

The screen lights up.

It was a message from Li Xixue.

Li Xixue: [Where are you? I'm coming to pick you up now.]

The message was very brief and to the point.

No, that fast?

Lu Yang checked the time.

Before I knew it, it was already the time I had arranged to meet her.

Although he wasn't ready yet, he still tapped the screen and sent the other party his location.

I added by the way: "Commercial street, restaurants."

Li Xixue replied instantly: "I'll be there in five minutes."
