"Holy shit!"
"It really is her!"
At Jiang Chao’s words, Yang Qiniang and Cao Ming snapped their heads around to look.
They recognized Su Ruoxi instantly.
It was inevitable. That photo on the school forum had been way too popular!
Her face was already burned into their memories.
"So?"
"Should I call her over to share our table?"
"Looks like she’s here for hot pot, too."
Cao Ming said to Lin Feng, a wicked grin on his face.
Men from the Northeast just loved to joke about things like this.
The rumor that Su Ruoxi was Lin Feng’s side piece had also started with Cao Ming.
"Why are you looking at me?"
"There’s really nothing between us!"
Lin Feng shrugged, his tone one of utter resignation.
Su Ruoxi was gorgeous, and she was just Lin Feng’s type.
But that incident last time really hadn’t been intentional.
If it weren’t for the system, he probably would have just gone back to the dorm to get some water.
After all, a man’s got his pride, just as a tree has its bark. Who would do something so shameless?
Besides, ever since that incident happened...
During military training, no one dared to bring Su Ruoxi water anymore, terrified that Lin Feng, the human water tank, would just GULP, GULP, GULP it all down again.
As a result, Su Ruoxi and Lin Feng hadn’t interacted at all.
He just never expected... that after military training ended, they would actually run into each other again at a hot pot restaurant.
"I get it..."
"You were just ’thirsty’ and wanted a taste of *her* water, is that it?"
Cao Ming said with a lecherous grin.
But it was all talk.
He didn’t actually go and call Su Ruoxi over.
Because doing that would not only make his bro feel awkward, but he’d also be a little embarrassed himself.
When it came to social etiquette, the four guys in Lin Feng’s dorm were actually pretty decent.
Of course.
That is, not including Lin Feng, who’d chugged the campus belle’s water.
However, after hearing their conversation, Yang Qiniang shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Today... I’m afraid we really will have to share a table."
"Huh?"
"What do you mean?"
Lin Feng and the other two looked at Yang Qiniang in surprise.
Before he could answer, a sweet voice called out from the restaurant entrance.
"Bro~"
Lin Feng and the other two looked toward the voice.
The girl who had spoken bore a striking resemblance to Yang Qiniang, and she was standing right next to Su Ruoxi.
She was one of the girls who had come in with her!
This...
What a coincidence!
Just then, Su Ruoxi happened to look up, her eyes meeting Lin Feng’s.
They both froze.
Su Ruoxi’s face was a mask of shock and disbelief.
She never, ever would have thought she would run into this guy again under these circumstances.
Lin Feng saw the look on her face and couldn’t help but grin.
’Looks like she and I are really fated to meet.’
"Lin Feng, I didn’t know she was..."
Yang Qiniang had just started to explain.
But at that moment, the sweet-voiced girl who had called him "Bro" was already pulling Su Ruoxi and her two friends over.
"Bro, what didn’t you know?"
"N-nothing."
An awkward smile remained plastered on Yang Qiniang’s face.
But he quickly recovered, standing up to make room for the three of them. "Qingqing, have your roommates sit here. I’ll sit with my roommates!"
With that, Yang Qiniang sat down next to Lin Feng.
Yang Qiniang’s sister didn’t notice anything unusual.
She hurriedly pulled Su Ruoxi and her two friends to sit down across from Lin Feng.
Su Ruoxi’s eyes, however, remained fixed on Lin Feng, as if trying to confirm whether the guy in front of her was really the same one who had chugged her water.
Only after sitting down did she finally speak.
"What... what a coincidence!"
Hearing Su Ruoxi say this, the three guys from Lin Feng’s dorm knew exactly what she meant.
But Su Ruoxi’s roommates were a little confused.
"Ruoxi, do you know him?"
"I don’t."
’Lin Feng originally thought Su Ruoxi would just bring up the incident directly.’
’He didn’t expect that she had no intention of mentioning it at all.’
But that just made the atmosphere even more awkward.
Lin Feng, on the other hand, was fine. Ever since he bonded with the system, his entire mindset had changed dramatically.
He already had a calm and steady personality to begin with.
Now, he was as steady as a rock!
In contrast, the three guys next to Lin Feng were all slumping in their seats with their heads down, looking as if they were the ones who had committed the crime.
They didn’t dare meet Su Ruoxi’s gaze.
"Bro, have you guys ordered yet?"
Perhaps sensing the awkward atmosphere, Yang Qiniang’s sister was the first to speak up.
"Uh, not yet, I think. We were waiting for you guys to get here before ordering..."
"Waiter, menu!"
Hearing his sister Yang Qingqing’s question, Yang Qiniang gave an embarrassed little laugh and waved a waiter over.
After getting the menu, he gentlemanly passed it over to the girls.
"Ruoxi, what do you want to eat?"
Yang Qingqing asked, looking at Su Ruoxi.
Su Ruoxi glanced at the menu, ordered two vegetable dishes, and then added two milk teas.
Then, she handed the menu back to Yang Qingqing.
"Ruoxi, why’d you order two milk teas?"
Yang Qingqing looked at Su Ruoxi, confused. "The milk tea here is pretty big, and we’re about to eat hot pot. You don’t want to get full on tea before the food even arrives."
In response to Yang Qingqing’s question...
Su Ruoxi just smiled faintly, then turned her head to look at Lin Feng.
"It’s fine. This student here is quite the drinker..."
Although Su Ruoxi didn’t say it outright, that incident had caused a huge stir throughout the school.
Basically every freshman at Yang City University knew about it.
And these girls were Su Ruoxi’s roommates, of all people.
At Su Ruoxi’s words, a memory they’d all but forgotten came flooding back into their minds.
They glanced at Su Ruoxi, then at Lin Feng.
The man’s blurry face from the photo instantly clicked into place with the Lin Feng sitting before them.
’So...’
’He’s the guy who snatched Su Ruoxi’s water?’
’And he’s the madman who chugged over a dozen drinks in one go!’
’Is Su Ruoxi ordering two milk teas now because she’s afraid he’ll try to steal her drink again?’
