Zhou Lili, the campus belle, was renowned throughout the entire university for her cold, aloof, otherworldly demeanour, yet a maturity taken to the extreme!
Even the school’s most formidable Cha Zaijun had been captivated by her, and countless second-generation rich kids followed her every move.
Because Zhou Lili’s looks were completely natural, and her temperament truly resembled a proud, cold snow lotus. She was forever unsmiling towards people, always wearing an expression that kept others at a thousand miles’ distance.
But at this moment, upon seeing Luo Chen, this campus belle had uttered the words “I like you.”
Everyone around was stunned. Tang Hao and Yu Mengting, who had originally planned to watch Luo Chen make a fool of himself, now had their jaws nearly dropping to the floor.
They simply could not understand how Luo Chen could possibly know Zhou Lili.
Because even for them, in Zhou Lili’s eyes, they seemingly lacked the qualification to get too close to her.
Yet this new student from a small county town had unexpectedly received such favour from the goddess.
“Lili, you only said that just now because you wanted to help him, right?” Tang Hao asked from the side.
He absolutely refused to believe that Zhou Lili, the campus belle, could actually like Luo Chen!
But Zhou Lili did not pay him any attention whatsoever.
“Growing more and more beautiful.” Luo Chen smiled and greeted her.
Zhou Lili, in turn, lowered her head slightly shyly, then smiled a bashful smile. But taking the opportunity, she immediately sat down beside Luo Chen and hooked her arm through his.
This action instantly caused the entire canteen to boil over.
The ice mountain beauty had actually taken the initiative to throw herself into Luo Chen’s embrace. If looks could kill, then Luo Chen would probably have been torn to shreds by now.
“Teacher Luo, how did you come to be here?” Zhou Lili smiled sweetly at Luo Chen.
At this moment, many people seemed to hear the sound of their own hearts breaking. The ice mountain goddess, unsmiling, not to mention smiling so sweetly at a person like this, normally did not even show the slightest hint of a smile.
But at this moment, towards Luo Chen, it was as if she had seen the man she was infatuated with. She was practically besotted.
“Came to handle some matters.” Luo Chen said lightly, ignoring the gazes around him that were nearly shooting flames.
“Professor An?” Zhou Lili was extremely clever, guessing it in one try.
“Mm.” Luo Chen smiled.
“Teacher Luo, shall we go upstairs to eat?” Zhou Lili once again revealed a smile from the bottom of her heart.
To be able to see the man she worshipped, respected and admired in a foreign land, she was truly happy.
“Not going. I’ve nearly finished eating.” Luo Chen pointed at his tray.
Once these words left his mouth, the eyes of many people around him truly shot fire.
Not to mention Zhou Lili taking the initiative to invite someone to a meal, even wanting to invite Zhou Lili to a meal was an exceedingly difficult thing.
Now the goddess had not only taken the initiative to invite Luo Chen to a meal, but Luo Chen had actually refused.
But the next moment, something that dropped everyone’s jaws once again occurred.
“Come on, please, okay?”
“Teacher Luo, it’s so rare for me to treat you to a meal. Don’t refuse me, okay?” Zhou Lili’s voice instantly turned into a coquettish tone.
This time, the entire canteen boiled over.
Who had ever seen Zhou Lili, this ice mountain woman, act coquettishly?
If someone had said this yesterday, they would probably have been beaten to death. It was simply impossible. Zhou Lili, that ice mountain beauty who kept a stern face all day long, no one had ever thought she could act coquettishly!
But now, not only had she acted coquettishly, she had done so in an especially cute manner. Yet it was all directed at Luo Chen.
Tang Hao was already completely dumbfounded.
Earlier he had still been mocking Luo Chen. How could he possibly know the campus belle?
But now not only did they know each other, they looked quite familiar. Not only quite familiar, Zhou Lili really liked Luo Chen!
Moreover, he had previously mocked Luo Chen.
Why don’t you get the campus belle to treat you to a meal?
Now, the campus belle was actually really treating Luo Chen to a meal.
Yu Mengting’s expression was also very unpleasant. Previously she had always felt that Luo Chen had come alone to Fushan in Goryeo, with no relatives or friends.
Without their help and care, Luo Chen simply could not survive here.
So he could only rely on them.
But now?
Who said he had no relatives or friends?
He not only had acquaintances, but it was the campus belle!
Moreover, Yu Mengting being a woman, naturally could sense that when Zhou Lili said she liked Luo Chen, it was absolutely not just talk. She truly liked him very much!
Just at this moment, Luo Chen’s phone rang. Luo Chen had just opened his mobile.
Zhou Lili took one look and immediately grew anxious. She could not let Luo Chen answer the call, or this meal might fall through. So she hurriedly spoke again.
“Teacher Luo, promise me you’ll come eat, okay?” Zhou Lili shook Luo Chen’s arm, swaying it back and forth.
“Alright then. In any case, I don’t have anything urgent!” Luo Chen helplessly hung up the phone.
On the other end of the phone, Su Lingchu’s mobile clattered directly onto the floor.
The expression on his entire face was quite something.
Nothing urgent?
The entire nation is waiting to watch you go and duel someone, and you actually say there is nothing urgent?
On Qingcheng Mountain, it is said another genius expert is waiting to duel you, and you actually say there is nothing urgent?
But over here, Zhou Lili had already pulled Luo Chen up by the arm. Without even glancing at Tang Hao and the others, she hooked her arm through Luo Chen’s and walked towards the second floor.
Even now, many people still could not accept this matter, and had not even reacted yet.
Yu Mengting watched Luo Chen with some regret. But then she looked at Tang Hao, and her gaze turned firm again.
So what if Luo Chen knows Zhou Lili?
So what if Zhou Lili likes Luo Chen?
This is Goryeo. Tang Hao has backing here. Moreover, whether Tang Hao or anyone else, their family backgrounds are all better than Luo Chen’s.
Here, Luo Chen is still ultimately inferior to Tang Hao.
“Even if Zhou Lili likes him, he is not worthy of Zhou Lili.” Yu Mengting shook her head again.
Someone of Zhou Lili’s devastating beauty level, is Luo Chen worthy?
They are simply not people of the same world. With Luo Chen’s background, he cannot even compare to Tang Hao. How could he compare to the crowd of second-generation rich kids in Fushan and people like Cha Zaijun?
“Hmph, let him be pleased with himself for now. I want to see if, once Cha Zaijun learns of what happened here, this surnamed Luo can even safely leave the school!” A cold smile traced across Tang Hao’s lips.
Although he had initially been somewhat stunned, he quickly regained his composure.
After all, this was Fushan. He had an excellent relationship with the street racing alliance people. He still did not believe he could not handle a single Luo Chen.
With just one word from him, once Luo Chen left the school, he would face unimaginable, catastrophic trouble!
“Mengting, trick him into going to the Taekwondo club tomorrow!” Tang Hao let out a cold laugh. Tomorrow he would make Luo Chen look good!
Meanwhile, upstairs, Zhou Lili deliberately selected a private room, then ordered several dozen speciality dishes. She also thoughtfully ordered a pot of tea, specifically instructing the staff to just bring the tea leaves and water.
Once the tea leaves and water arrived, Zhou Lili personally brewed tea for Luo Chen, because she knew this was what Luo Chen liked.
“Teacher Luo, since you have come, An Lingyu can rest assured.” Zhou Lili smiled lightly as she brewed the tea.
After all, she knew very well that as long as Luo Chen had come, then Professor An would definitely be rescued and brought back safely.
The two chatted as they ate. This meal lasted the entire afternoon, only ending when it was nearly seven o’clock.
Luo Chen had just finished here when a phone call rang out.
Luo Chen looked. It was Rong Zaixu’s call.
“Mr. Luo, are you free?”
“I would like to treat you to a meal.” Rong Zaixu wanted to win Luo Chen over, even bringing along the Rong family’s young lady.
“One moment.”
“Alright, then I will send someone to pick you up at the school gate.”
But the moment the call ended, it rang again.
Needless to say, it was Su Lingchu again.
“Brother Luo, how exactly do you plan to resolve this Qingcheng Mountain matter?”
“Don’t tell me you are going to eat again?”
