Oh no, the aloof school beauty has been reborn too!

Could Chapter 6 be about her ex-boyfriend?

Lin Yuanzhou was clearly very satisfied with the store he had chosen.

Especially after seeing Zhao Lin pick up three pieces of fatty beef with his chopsticks, he exuded a sense of smugness.

"How is it?"

Lin Yuanzhou leaned back in his chair, his tone revealing a hint of pride.

"Not bad, right?"

Zhao Lin lowered his head, dipping his food in the sauce dish, his tone still languid.

"fine."

Lin Yuanzhou frowned, dissatisfied with Zhao Lin's evaluation.

"Is it fine?"

Zhao Lin thought for a moment and added:

"It's better than the cafeteria."

Lin Yuanzhou: "..."

Lu Xing couldn't help but laugh.

Lin Yuanzhou immediately turned to him:

"Lu Xing, you be the judge, isn't this a huge disrespect to the person I carefully selected?"

Lu Xing picked up a slice of potato and said seriously:

"Actually, in his heart, he had a pretty high opinion of her."

Lin Yuanzhou was taken aback.

"What do you mean?"

"Given Zhao Lin's level of expression, 'better than the cafeteria' is probably equivalent to a five-star review, right?"

Zhao Lin nodded, still stuffing food into his mouth:

"Yes, yes."

Lin Yuanzhou remained silent for two seconds before finally accepting the explanation.

"Alright, I'll take that as a compliment."

The three chatted while eating, talking about everything from military training to their major courses, and then about the issue of dormitory head candidates.

They also got to know each other's personalities, how far they could go with jokes, and what the other liked...

------

Meanwhile, the girls not far away were also enjoying their meal.

With her sweet looks and crescent-shaped eyes when she smiles, Xu Zhixia practically embodies the atmosphere of half the table.

She has an outgoing personality and when ordering food, she makes sure to clearly arrange the hot pot base, dishes, and drinks.

Tang Xiaoman has a round face with soft cheeks, which makes her look very endearing.

Whenever the meat in the pot is almost cooked, her eyes become exceptionally focused.

Han Shuyan didn't talk much, sat upright, and had a quiet expression.

However, when he does speak, a single sentence is often enough to make Tang Xiaoman furious.

Shen Qingyi sat in the innermost seat.

She didn't eat much; most of the time, she just listened quietly to her roommates, occasionally responding with a slight smile.

But her gaze would always inadvertently drift past the rising white mist and land on the back of the boy not far away.

Even though we were only a few tables apart, it felt like an entire long period of time had passed.

Afraid of being too obvious, she could only lower her head and pretend to be stirring the sesame paste in the bowl seriously.

Tang Xiaoman picked up a piece of freshly cooked shrimp paste, her eyes squinting with happiness.

"Qingyi, why are you eating so little...aren't you hungry?"

Shen Qingyi came back to her senses and said softly:

"Hmm, I'm a little full."

Xu Zhixia touched Shen Qingyi's hand without any hesitation and teased her with a smile:

"Qingyi eats relatively little; beautiful women live on ethereal energy."

After saying that, she reluctantly let go of his hand, since it would be impolite to touch him any further.

"Ah, Qingyi's hands are beautiful too."

Shen Qingyi covered her mouth and laughed:

"No, your hands are so fair and delicate."

Tang Xiaoman immediately looked down at her bowl.

"Then I might be surviving on hot pot broth."

Han Shuyan casually replied:

"Actually, we just live on a lot of food."

Tang Xiaoman immediately puffed up her cheeks.

"Shuyan!"

Shen Qingyi chuckled softly, amused by their antics.

Before the smile had completely faded, her gaze unconsciously drifted towards Lu Xing.

Just then, Lu Xing was talking to Lin Yuanzhou with his head down.

The warm yellow light of the hot pot restaurant fell on his profile.

Eighteen-year-old Lu Xing looked much more immature than she remembered.

His eyebrows and eyes were clean, and his features still had a youthful feel.

Shen Qingyi lowered her eyelashes and gently tightened her grip on the cup.

very nice……

------

The hot pot meal lasted until after 8 p.m., but the restaurant was still bustling with people.

After Lu Xing and the other two finished eating, Lin Yuanzhou stood up very proactively.

"I'll go pay the bill."

Lu Xing paused in his action of picking up his phone.

"Shall we split the bill?"

"Of course we'll split the bill! What are you thinking?"

Lin Yuanzhou waved his hand:

"I'll cover it first, and we can settle the accounts in the group later."

Zhao Lin leaned back in his chair and said slowly:

"Thank you for your hard work, dormitory head candidates!"

Lin Yuanzhou immediately perked up.

"Did you hear that? The people are starting to approve of me."

Lu Xing laughed:

"You'd better hurry up, the crowd is waiting to get back to their dorms."

Lin Yuanzhou hummed a little tune as he walked to the front desk.

Lu Xing and Zhao Lin picked up their things and headed towards the store entrance so as not to disturb the staff from cleaning.

On the other side, the girls' table had almost finished eating as well.

Xu Zhixia moved quickly, picking up her small bag and standing up.

"I'll pay the bill, you guys go outside and wait for me."

Tang Xiaoman touched her belly, looking completely satisfied.

"Zhixia, you are my god."

Han Shuyan glanced at her.

"You said the same thing about the shrimp paste just now."

Tang Xiaoman said earnestly:

"There can be many gods."

Shen Qingyi got up with them and picked up her bag.

The group arrived at the door almost one after the other.

The night breeze outside the hot pot restaurant blew in my face, dissipating some of the spiciness and heat clinging to my body.

As soon as Lu Xing stepped out of the store, he heard the sound of girls laughing and talking behind him.

He instinctively turned to the side, wanting to make way for the person.

Then I saw Shen Qingyi.

And she just happened to look up.

Their eyes met again.

The red lanterns at the entrance swayed gently in the wind, and the light reflected in Shen Qingyi's eyes, making them look like they were covered with a layer of water.

She stared blankly at Lu Xing without saying a word.

But Lu Xing just stood there, stunned, without saying a word.

Lu Xing is a person who is quite sensitive to others.

He could sense the way others looked at him and the tone of their voice.

And at this moment...

The way the girl in front of him was looking at him was really strange; it wasn't the way one should look at a stranger.

Lu Xing didn't understand; he was certain he didn't know her.

But why would she look at me like that?

The night breeze passed between the two of them.

Lu Xing's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

"Qingyi?"

Tang Xiaoman's voice suddenly rang out.
