The anchor I was supposed to meet turned out to be my student.

"You seem to know Sister Ye Zhi quite well. How do you know her?" Bi Antong, who was also drinking iced milk next to me, asked.

"Yes, brother, you and Ye Zhi seem to have a good relationship..."

"Um, Ye Zhi and I actually met through playing games because of Lu Xiaojun... right, Ye Zhi?" I looked at Ye Zhi.

Ye Zhi gracefully tucked a strand of hair that had fallen across her forehead behind her ear with her fingers, and said unhurriedly, "More or less, but it doesn't have much to do with Xiao Jun."

Why are you emphasizing so deliberately that it has nothing to do with Xiaojun...?

Coincidentally, Lu Xiaojun called me. I was so startled that I almost dropped my phone. I instinctively looked around, but I didn't see Lu Xiaojun or Mu Mu.

"Hey, Xiaojun?"

"Um, teacher, where are you now?"

(Hey bro, give me a follow, what's with this strong flavor...?)

Chapter 57, Chapter 112: The Child Bites the Gel (Can you guess what it is?)

Lu Xiaojun's question immediately stumped me, and at that moment the three women at the table also looked over. I avoided their gazes and walked to the side by myself.

"I'm at the department store now..."

But Lu Xiaojun was clearly not satisfied with my vague answer.

"Which department store is the teacher in?"

I think she most likely found out I was there, although I don't know how she found out...

I had no choice but to be honest and say, "It's the one I went to with you yesterday..."

"With whom?"

"With my sister Xin Ning..."

Lu Xiaojun remained silent, seemingly waiting for something.

"And Tongtong..."

"Oh, I see... Then why didn't you call me, teacher? Don't you know I'm at the department store right now filming the vlog that I didn't finish yesterday with Mu Mu?"

Lu Xiaojun definitely knew that the three of us were here, but I don't know if she knew that I knew she was also in this department store.

If I said I knew, then why did I avoid her and not say hello?

After thinking it over, I still think it's best to pretend I don't know, because I think it's highly likely that she saw us by accident, and it's impossible that she knew I had discovered that she and Mu Mu were here.

So I replied, "I know you and Mu Mu are here to reshoot your vlog, but I didn't expect you to come today. After all, I didn't think you'd come to the same place two days in a row..."

To avoid hurting Xiaojun's feelings, I've been very careful with my words, afraid that I might say something inappropriate that would make her think I don't care about her at all. In fact, I care about her so much that I don't want her to see me shopping with Tongtong. I wonder what she, who likes me, would think if she saw me shopping with her best friend.

But Lu Xiaojun has already seen it, and I really don't know if she will be angry with me, so I waited anxiously for her answer.

"Okay, I misunderstood the teacher... Where are you now, teacher? I'll come find you."

However, Lu Xiaojun's answer surprised me. Not only was she not angry, she also came to find us. So I breathed a sigh of relief and told her that we were at Starbucks. She said that Mu Mu had already gone back and that she would come over right away.

Back at the table, the three women seemed to be getting along quite well. Even Ye Zhi, who was usually quiet, took the initiative to chat with Xin Ning, not to mention Bi Antong, who wanted to please her sister-in-law.

"Um... Xiaojun is coming over later..."

"Senior Sister Xiaojun?"

Besides Hua Xinning, Bi Antong and Ye Zhi both looked over with some surprise.

Bi Antong frowned and asked, "Why did she suddenly decide to come over?"

Hey, hey, hey, Lu Xiaojun is your best friend, why are you talking like that...?

And Ye Zhi, she's your cousin. How come you're looking at your phone without any reaction? Don't you feel any surprise or delight at unexpectedly running into a relative?

Perhaps sensing my thoughts, Bi Antong quickly explained, "I was just curious why Xiaojun came here out of the blue. Did you invite her?"

"No, she just happened to be in this department store too. She said she saw us here, so she came to find us..."

"Oh...that's good, it'll be more lively."

Then Bi Antong stopped talking, drinking her fruit drink and looking at her phone.

Ye Zhi, on the other hand, had already thoroughly explored the canyon.

Only my kind-hearted lemon didn't become a slave to her phone. She was focused on drinking her fruit tea. By "focused," I mean holding the cup on the table with both hands, sipping it slowly, while her eyes were fixed on the table. In fact, it was more like she was daydreaming.

Xin Ning looked rather cute in her daze, so I couldn't help but ask her, "What are you thinking about?"

Hua Xinning shifted her gaze to my face, put down her straw, and said, "I was thinking about how many pretty girls my brother knows. Look at Sister Ye Zhi, she's mature and generous, Senior An Tong is beautiful, and Senior Xiao Jun is so cute..."

Did you deliberately leave out your lifelong rival, Luo Yao?

Ye Zhi and Bi Antong both glanced in our direction, then looked back indifferently at their phone screens, which made me say somewhat awkwardly, "There aren't many..."

Hua Xinning continued resentfully, "I don't even know if my brother will still care about me like he used to..."

I didn't know why Xin Ning suddenly said these things in front of other people, but I still quickly replied, "Of course I will always care about you, you are the most important person to me!"

Hua Xinning's face lit up with joy upon hearing this, and she said with a smile, "Yes, my brother is also the most important person to me."

Receiving the same treatment from Xin Ning made me feel that all my care for her over the years had been worthwhile, and I couldn't help but feel happy. But my smile quickly froze because I felt gazes coming from both directions...

It would be too awkward to say that her sister was the most important person to her in front of outsiders, but the usually introverted Hua Xinning didn't react at all to the glances Ye Zhi and Bi Antong were stealing at her. She continued to drink her fruit tea in a very good mood, and the corners of her mouth even turned up in a smile, as if this was the result she wanted...

"It's you! What are you doing here?"

"I was just about to ask you, you vixen, what are you doing here!"

"I...I'm not a vixen!"

Suddenly, two familiar voices rang out in the quiet room.

I looked towards the doorway and saw two beautiful figures confronting each other. The one who was clearly at a disadvantage in words was Lu Xiaojun, who had said she was coming to find us, while the one who kept calling her a vixen was Luo Yao, whom I hadn't expected!

Everyone inside turned to look at them, watching the commotion they were making.

I glanced at Ye Zhi and quickly realized that the "friend" she was talking about was none other than Luo Yao, that troublesome girl. I wiped my face hard...

Now it's really lively, just like Bi Antong said this morning. We can even play five-player teams, and we have substitutes too...

Feeling embarrassed, I quickly went to them. Luo Yao was surprised and delighted to see me and called out "Brother Tusheng." But I couldn't stand the stares from so many people, so I hurriedly led them to their seats. The six seats were filled perfectly, as if it had been pre-planned.

(Yao) (Lemon) (Me) ← Three single sofas

Seeing Hua Xinning and Bi Antong there, Luo Yao looked at Ye Zhi in confusion and asked, "Sister Ye Zhi, why are those two here too?"

Ye Zhi turned her head to the side and pretended not to hear as she drank her coffee.

I had no choice but to take the initiative to explain to calm Luo Yao down.

"I was out shopping with Xin Ning and Tong Tong when we ran into Ye Zhi here. I never expected that the friend Ye Zhi mentioned would be you..."

"What about her?" Luo Yao pouted and looked at Lu Xiaojun, who had just arrived at Starbucks at the same time as her.

"Xiaojun happened to be shopping with her friends in this department store today, and she came over when she saw us..."

"Tch, what's this? Both vixens have come..."

"Who are you talking about!" Bi Antong and Lu Xiaojun said angrily at the same time.

“I didn’t name names, you just admitted it yourselves…” Luo Yao elegantly sipped the coffee that Ye Zhi had ordered for her in advance.

Now look what's happened! Both best friends have been labeled as vixens. What did the vixens do wrong...?

I slapped my forehead hard, wishing I could just die on the spot. If they kept going like this, they'd tear the ceiling off. So I quickly changed the subject, saying, "It's so lively here, how about we play some board games to relax?"

"casual……"

"That works too!"

"Since you seem so eager to play, I'll let you have a go..."

"Okay!"

"Board games are my specialty, I only play board games!"

Since everyone had reached a rough consensus, I looked around at the surroundings. It wasn't very quiet, and quite a few people were chatting. So I continued, "Even though we're in a corner, we still need to be careful with our volume, especially you, Yao Yao!"

Luo Yao felt indignant at being singled out for criticism, but she couldn't refute it because she had been the one who talked the most and raised the loudest since the beginning. She had completely disregarded the basic manners of a popular celebrity...

But the next second, to everyone's astonishment, she moved the single sofa to my right and placed it next to mine.

"Hehe, this way I don't have to speak so loudly to Brother Tusheng, and I can even hug him~"

Just like the lyrics say to hold my pillow tightly, my right hand was held tightly by Luo Yao's merciless iron hand...

Chapter 58, Section 113. You Must Do It with Someone You Like (First Update)

You can imagine the look the other four girls are giving you right now, as if their gazes are sharp blades, ready to slice Luo Yao's hand open...

Scared!

They didn't say anything, just stared at me quietly, making me feel uneasy from head to toe, not just in my heart. Under the double stimulation of Luo Yao's soft body and the fragrance emanating from her, my friend not only didn't look up but shrank back!

I gently pried Luo Yao's hands off mine and whispered, "Yao Yao, let go first. It's awkward for others to see, and what if someone recognizes you..."

At this moment, Luo Yao had already pulled down her mask.

“That’s right, Sister Yao Yao, it’s so embarrassing to be hugging and kissing in public.” Hua Xin Ning, who was to my left, pouted and said.

Luo Yao scoffed, "Hmph, Hua Xinning, just keep up the act. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking."
