228 Computing Genius Li Ning (1/2)

Happy chose a random stall among those selling snacks along the road leading to the entrance of the University of South China. He ordered a hot plate of spicy tofu, crystal-skinned mince meat dumplings, and sweet potato noodles. When they were placed in front of him, he did not care about the fact that there was a great beauty staring at him and did not show any intention to treat her to a meal. He picked up a pair of chopsticks and began shoving the food into his mouth at his own pace.

His actions made Xu Yao feel that she was unnecessary. She stared at Happy while he ate his tofu and dumplings happily and did not know whether she should speak or stand up and leave.

'It's too irritating!'

If Happy's horrible attitude last time had made her puzzled, incredibly embarrassed and angry, then this time, he let her experience what was indifference.

”Hey.”

In the end, Xu Yao could not hold it in anymore. She felt saliva pooling in her mouth, and it was really unbearable.

But who was Happy?

No matter what, he had been with Xu Yao for more than two years, and when she used that kind of tone, he did not even need to raise his head to know what she wanted to say. ”If you want to eat something, order it yourself. I'm filling up my stomach now.”

He was really hungry. He had been in the game since noon, which meant that it had been around ten hours since he last ate. He felt that his stomach was empty, and even though Xu Yao's presence ruined his appetite, it was not enough to quell his desire to eat.

”No need.”

Xu Yao's words died in her mouth. Once she spoke, she stared at Happy busy shoving food into his mouth with a vicious glare, but in her heart, she wondered about it in puzzlement. She felt that he was not the type who would treat others as nothing, and he could also sense her displeasure, so why was it that when he met her, he would have that sort of reaction and attitude?

Xu Yao could not understand it. Hence, she sat quietly in front of Happy and waited for him to finish eating.

The scene was clearly seen by quite a lot of people who were also out eating supper. Some of them who knew Xu Yao instantly felt that it was incomprehensible and perplexing. They sucked in sharp breaths and wondered about the identity of the boy who sat before her. They could not understand why the feisty rose who was well-known in the disciplinary committee would be so obedient in front of the boy who was not well-known.

One of them ate, and the other just sat and waited. Neither of them spoke, and there was an air of great mutual understanding between them. No matter how the outsiders looked at it, the two appeared to be a couple.

A trendy man dressed in a black suit passed by the entrance of the stall while walking down the street selling snacks at that moment. He looked rather handsome, and his face was very exquisite.

His hands were in his pockets, and there were pristine white headphones over his head. He swayed it to the beat while he walked down the street, and his style showed quite a bit of character. He attracted many girls' attention.

As luck would have it, when he turned his head around, he noticed the side profile of a familiar person in a stall.

”Hmm?”

The trendy man let out a soft gasp and stopped. His first reaction was to pull off his headphones and let them hang around his neck. He looked at the atmosphere at the stall, then observed the pretty figure's side profile. Once he was certain that he did not mistake her for someone else, he frowned and walked over.

”Xu Yao, what are you doing here alone?”

The trendy man behaved like an A-list actor. The presence he gave off from deep within his soul, which was one of confidence and the air of a winner, made the other students in the stall look at him. When he walked over, he did not even look at Chen Kaixin, who was busy eating hot plate spicy tofu. He even completely overlooked him.

”Li Ning?” When Xu Yao heard someone call her, she turned her head around. ”Why are you here?” she asked a little stunned.

”I was just passing by when I saw you daydreaming here. Is he… your friend?” Li Ning finally noticed the situation at the table before him, and he quirked an eyebrow before he put on a faint smile.

The boy in front of him might have been a little handsome, but the way he ate was simply not flattering. Besides, he was dressed in very normal summer attire and slippers. He fit fell with the stall, which was what made him believe that he was Xu Yao's friend and not her boyfriend.

”Oh, let me introduce him to you.”

But before Xu Yao could make introductions, Happy finished the last piece of tofu. He pushed away the plate, which looked like it had been ravaged by a typhoon, and spoke in a very calm tone.

”I know you. You're Li Ning, the genius top student of the Computer Engineering Department. You learned how to hack on your own, and you are currently the maintainer of the university's website. You are also working as a teaching assistant in the Computer Engineering Department for your part time job. I've heard of your name for a long time.”

It was only natural that Happy knew all of that. The person in front of him was a very good friend of Xu Yao's in his previous life. He was exceptional at programming, and he liked Xu Yao a lot. But he regarded himself very highly and liked flirting with many girls.
