Why did the system take my request to take photos with a cosplayer seriously?

This girl really knows how to put his words into practice.

[Ding Heng]: Sure, it's good to interact more with your classmates. Don't always be alone, like your sister.

[Lucky Little Shu]: Hmph! You have to mention my sister in this too?

Ding Heng: Did I say something wrong?

[Lucky Little Shu]: Aren't you afraid I'll tell on you?

Ding Heng: [Fear.jpg]

After a brief pause, Wen Shu's message popped up again.

[Lucky Little Shu]: Brother-in-law, when will you come to the capital next time?

Ding Heng thought for a moment.

[Ding Heng]: Next Saturday, let's go see your sister Hua Qing's performance.

[Ding Heng]: Is there something you need?

【Lucky Little Lady】: No, just asking.

【Lucky Little Shu】: [Well-behaved.jpg]

The dialog box fell silent.

Just as Ding Heng was about to put down his phone, the screen lit up again.

[Lucky Little Shu]: Brother-in-law, when you come to the capital, will you have time to teach me how to take pictures?

[Ding Heng]: We'll talk about it when the time comes.

[Lucky Little Shu]: Oh...

【Lucky Little Shu】: [Little Rabbit looking forward to it.jpg]

Ding Heng: ...

[Ding Heng]: There's one last thing.

[Lucky Little Lady]: Huh?

[Ding Heng]: Stop stealing your sister's emojis.

[Lucky Little Shu]: Oh...

Chapter 288: Capturing the Loulan Princess

The first Friday after the National Day holiday ends.

In the classroom, Ding Heng idly twirled his pen, listening to the professor on the podium analyze a classic communication case, his thoughts already drifting far away.

Five minutes before get out of class ended, his gaze inadvertently swept out the window.

In the corridor, Zhao Yanxi kept jumping around excitedly, smiling at him.

A snow-white off-shoulder sweatshirt, lined with a light pink camisole underneath, paired with a pleated mini skirt and a high ponytail, exudes youthful energy.

Why did this girl come over without saying a word?

He looked away and glanced down at his phone.

There are no unread messages; it seems to be a planned surprise attack.

Ding Heng sighed helplessly...

At Hunan University, Wenjing and he were a well-known couple. When Zhao Yanxi appeared and became overly ambiguous with him, rumors inevitably started to circulate.

However, given the current state of their relationship, there's no need to pay too much attention to what outsiders say.

The bell finally rang, signaling the end of get out of class.

The professor packed up his lesson plan and left the classroom. Ding Heng slowly gathered his belongings, got up, and walked out.

As soon as she stepped out of the classroom, several classmates had already noticed Zhao Yanxi.

"Hey, Lao Ding, another female student is confessing her feelings to you?"

Zhao Yanxi put her hands behind her back, lowered her head slightly, and blushed slightly.

Her shy demeanor, paired with her pure and sweet outfit, made her look exactly like a freshman who had just entered university and mustered up the courage to approach her senior.

Ding Heng found it amusing.

Keep pretending...

Then another classmate chimed in, "Don't bother, junior, he already has a girlfriend."

Ding Heng ignored everyone and walked straight up to Zhao Yanxi, speaking in a flat tone.

"Junior, let's go somewhere else to talk."

"Okay, senior!"

Zhao Yanxi obediently followed Ding Heng, and the two walked through the corridor one after the other, downstairs to the parking lot.

After closing the car door, the junior student, nicknamed "Little Cat," narrowed her eyes warily and teased him with a sour tone.

"Senior, it seems like a lot of female students confess their feelings to you."

Ding Heng started the car, turned the steering wheel with one hand, and used the other hand to pinch Zhao Yanxi's cheek and gently tug it.

"Don't be jealous. What do you want from me?"

Zhao Yanxi's delicate face was distorted by Ding Heng's pinching. She mumbled "Ugh... let go" and then slapped him away forcefully, rubbing her reddened cheeks.

"Brother Ding Heng, it's Friday today, are you going to the capital again?"

"What, you want to come along too?"

"I'm not that clingy."

Zhao Yanxi retorted confidently, then put on a fawning and ingratiating expression.

"I just... wanted to confirm something with you before you left."

"what's up?"

"Ta-da! Guess what it is?"

Zhao Yanxi pulled a brown paper envelope from her bag and excitedly handed it to Ding Heng.

Ding Heng parked the car on the side of the road, took the envelope, and opened it. Inside was a stack of printed documents.

"Shop lease agreement?"

Ding Heng turned to the second page.

The shop's location, size, rent, lease term... are all listed clearly.

The third page contains a floor plan and photos of the shop, located in a newly built commercial district in Yuelu District, surrounded by several schools and office buildings.

Ding Heng's expression was indescribable: "You haven't even finished university yet, why are you renting a storefront?"

"Open a coffee shop."

Zhao Yanxi replied matter-of-factly, "Brother Ding Heng, what do you think? I've already done market research, and the competition around here isn't fierce. We're just missing a quality boutique coffee shop."

"A coffee shop? You?"

Ding Heng couldn't control the corners of his mouth from smiling.

What are you laughing at?!

Zhao Yanxi raised her hand and playfully punched him, complaining in a sweet voice, "I was seriously discussing this with you!"

"Okay, okay, I won't laugh."

Ding Heng suppressed his laughter and tried his best to put on a serious face.

He reopened the contract and read it page by page, his expression gradually becoming serious and earnest.

The location is indeed good, the rent is within a reasonable range, and the terms are fairly fair.

Who gave you the idea?

"Sister Man."

"Lin Man?"

"Hmm! She asked me if I wanted to open a coffee shop, and she even helped me choose the location. She said this location has great potential and is worth a try."

Ding Heng suddenly realized!

Lin Man realized that Zhao Yanxi was too idle, so she decided to find her something to do to pass the time.

Opening a coffee shop sounds like a legitimate business, but the total investment, even if you add up all the odds and ends, would be at least several hundred thousand yuan.

Given Zhao Yanxi's personality, she most likely won't make any money.

But it didn't matter; this was exactly the effect Lin Man wanted.

Buy your kitten a ball of yarn; it'll keep her entertained for a while, preventing her from becoming too clingy to her owner and from getting distracted and overthinking.

"Row."

Ding Heng carefully put the contract away and handed it back to Zhao Yanxi.

"Are you going to agree to this?"

Zhao Yanxi's eyes widened: "Aren't you going to analyze it for me? What about market risks, investment returns, and things like that?"

"No analysis needed."

Ding Heng reached out and patted the kitten's head: "Go ahead and do it with confidence, I'll fully support you. But don't rush things, the renovation and procurement will probably take at least six months, take it slow and discuss it with Lin Man more."

Zhao Yanxi blinked in bewilderment.

Things were going too smoothly, and she was a little overwhelmed.

"Brother Ding Heng, do you think I definitely can't drive well?"
