Han Leng was a tsundere. He often told himself that he could not care less about whether Lady Zhao got into a relationship with other guys. If Lady Zhao could bid farewell to her ‘single’ status, he would finally be free. However, after he discovered a certain senior’s intentions of pursuing Lady Zhao, only then did he realize that he actually cared very much about her still.

Humans are like so. They are never rational, never logical.

However, after Han Leng silently listened to Lady Zhao’s response, he became relieved. He scolded himself in his heart. Why did he not have any self-control…

As Lady Zhao made a mockery out of the question, Han Leng found himself more entranced than ever. He knew that if he did the same thing, he would be shot down like this too.

Cao Chuanguang did not seem to notice the grave he was digging for himself. He was reading the situation in a non-existent light. To him, Zhao Youyue was ‘earnestly’ answering all of his questions in detail. It was a sign that she liked him, that she was comfortable to open up to him.

Exhilarated, he could not help but offer an invitation to Zhao Youyue and said, “Why don’t we have lunch together at the Newspaper Club. I could show you about as I am very familiar with the surroundings of Jiangnan University.”

Cao Chuanguang was quick-witted. He had worded things in a way that suggested ‘lunch’ meant eating with the entire Newspaper Club. In reality, he was only doing this to lower Zhao Yuoyue’s guard. Obviously, he would be the only person going out on a date at that time. Would his club members dare to wreck the club president’s plan of hanging out with a girl?

Zhao Youyue grinned silently. “How kind of him indeed!” she thought. “Unfortunately, I am very familiar with the surroundings of Jiangnan University. I have no idea how many times I’ve had to tag along as my stupid mom tried to show her workplace off to me…”

Obviously, Zhao Youyue did not say this. She had to find a way to tactfully reject him. She could not help but think about Bai Yunshan and thought about going out for lunch with her. Unfortunately, Bai Yunshan was not studying at Jiangnan University. She did study in Jiangnan City, which meant that they could only meet during the weekends.

“I already have plans tonight,” Zhao Youyue said, almost casually.

Cao Chuanguang knew that it was an excuse. He did not even think that he was too eager or impatient. On the contrary, he wasn’t pushing her hard enough. How could someone be afraid of rejection when picking up a girl? He must press on!

“Oh? Who is it, huh?”

“A very good friend of mine from high school.”

“That person must be a girl. Come on, invite her too! The more, the merrier!” Cao Chuanguang did not drop a beat.

Zhao Youyue’s smile finally faded. What kind of President of a Newspaper Club would be so ignorant? Does this guy even know how to talk to a girl? She was going to meet her close friend, but this stranger had the gall to invite himself?

Zhao Youyue had been neutral about Cao Chuanguang. She had seen through his ulterior motives, but far too many boys had already shown their interest in here. Only weird talented authors like Han Leng and Du Hang could remain unmoved. They probably loved their own creations more than actual three-dimensional girls. Naturally, Zhao Youyue was quite skilled at dealing with these suitors. Basically, she could ward them off, without embarrassing or offending them.

She had never met such a stubborn bull, not during her high school days. She did not expect to bump into one, right here.

Congratulations, Cao Chuanguang you have earned the Lady’s ire. She happened to glance at Han Leng who was staring blankly at them, as if he was trying to hide a smile. She then said, “My friend is not a girl – he’s a guy.”

While Zhao Youyue said that, she made sure to show a remorseful, shy expression. She looked like a girl who was in love. Of course, that was just an act.
