Chapter 108 Invite him to dinner
Xiao Ze sent the four pictures but received no response for a long time.
Xiao Ze was getting impatient and suspected that the other party had already gone to rest.
He gave the other person a jolt.
[Senior, are you still there?]
"Do you like her?" Finally, a message came from the other end, but it left him somewhat puzzled.
"Yes, I think I might be in love. I feel like she's very special, unlike any other girl I've ever known." Xiao Ze told his senior his thoughts without reservation.
Leave her!
Xiao Ze was stunned for a moment.
"Senior, you've never even met her, how can you ask me to leave her?"
There was no response.
[Senior, do you have someone you like?]
There has been no response from the other party.
[I can tell you've never been in a relationship. Your misogyny is even worse than mine. I've already found someone I like, and I hope you can find someone too.]
There was still no response from the other party.
Well, it seems he's angry.
"Senior, can you help me? Please reply!" Xiao Ze stared at the screen anxiously.
I'll give it a try, but it'll take a little time.
[If my senior is willing to step in, there's nothing he can't do. I'd wait a whole day, let alone a little bit!]
The other party did not respond.
This senior is truly aloof!
[I'll take a nap first, otherwise I'm not staying up all night for that junior girl, I'm exhausted.]
After typing those words, Xiao Ze lay down in front of the computer and went to sleep.
ding dong~
Xiao Ze was awakened by a message notification after an unknown amount of time. He opened his eyes and saw the information sent by his senior.
Wow, that's amazing! No wonder he's a genius among geniuses!
Xiao Ze glanced at the time on the screen; in just one hour, he had found so much information.
This is one person's; I'll send you the others' ones gradually.
Okay, thank you, senior.
It's too late, I'm going to sleep.
The other party announced that they had gone offline.
Xiao Ze organized the materials sent by his senior and then printed them out.
The next day, after breakfast, Xiao Ze took the materials Chu Xinglan wanted and went to the acting department to find her. At the time, Chu Xinglan was performing in the play "Hamlet."
She serves as a foil to the male protagonist, Hamlet.
"To be or not to be, that is the question."
As soon as she spoke, a round of enthusiastic applause erupted from all around.
Xiao Ze stood at the door watching Chu Xinglan finish her performance. If he had only had a slight liking for her before, he now knew for certain that he was truly attracted to her and had fallen in love with her.
After the performance ended and everyone left, Xiao Ze walked over to Chu Xinglan, who was preparing to leave.
"Chu Xinglan".
"Xiao Ze?" Chu Xinglan was both surprised and delighted to see Xiao Ze walking towards her.
"It's Xiao Ze! Oh my god, what's Xiao Ze doing here in our acting department?"
"He's so handsome! I'm so lucky to finally get to see him up close."
"Who is he calling? Chu Xinglan? Is he here to see Chu Xinglan?"
The female students in the performing arts department were thrilled when they saw Xiao Ze.
Chu Xinglan and Xiao Ze ignored the screams around them.
"How is it? Is there any result?" Chu Xinglan asked anxiously.
"Really... the first thing I do when we meet is ask what you asked me to do." Xiao Ze pretended to be angry.
"If I don't care about that, why would I care about you? I wouldn't dare to meddle in such trivial matters." Chu Xinglan twitched her nose.
"How is caring about me considered meddling?" Xiao Ze was genuinely dissatisfied this time.
"Okay, okay, I'll try my best to take care of you from now on, is that alright, Young Master Xiao? Do you have any good news for me?" To achieve her own goals, she had no choice but to please him.
"Not sincere enough!" Xiao Ze felt she was being too perfunctory. This wasn't how you try to please someone; he had stayed up all night for her.
"Then what do you want?" Chu Xinglan was at a loss. She didn't want to rack her brains over this matter, so she simply asked him.
"Treat me to dinner later!" Xiao Ze said with a smile.
"Xiao Ze smiled? He's never smiled at any girl before."
"He wants Chu Xinglan to treat him to dinner? Did I hear that right?"
"Could it be that Chu Xinglan is dating him?"
"Wait, what's going on? Wasn't Chu Xinglan and Xu Yang a couple before? How come she hooked up with Xiao Ze so quickly? Our Prince Xiao Ze has actually been taken by a fickle girl?"
Annoyed by the noise from the girls around them, the two left together under the watchful eyes of everyone.
"Thanks to you, I seem to have become the target of everyone's criticism." Chu Xinglan frowned.
Good-looking men always attract trouble. Gu Ye was like that before, and now Xiao Ze is the same. She must stay away from these good-looking men next time.
Chu Xinglan thought to herself.
"At worst, I'll protect you from now on," Xiao Ze smiled.
"Forget it, you'd better stay away from me, so I won't be in danger."
Chu Xinglan increased the distance between herself and Xiao Ze.
Xiao Ze's expression changed.
"Can you at least treat me to dinner?"
"Didn't you dislike it when I treated you to dinner?" She remembered that she had treated him before, but he had refused.
“You didn’t like me before, but you like me now. Are you not willing to spend money on me?” Xiao Ze looked at Chu Xinglan anxiously.
"It's just a meal, what's there to be reluctant about?" Chu Xinglan smiled. "So, where would you like to eat?"
"The Red House!"
“The Red House? That’s a place couples go to.” Chu Xinglan’s face fell. She whispered, “The worst part is that the food there is very expensive.”
Can't you see how carefully she's managing her finances these days? Isn't he just bleeding her dry?
Seeing Chu Xinglan's pained expression, Xiao Ze just smiled and reached out to pull Chu Xinglan along: "Let's go."
"Stop pulling and tugging, we're not close." Chu Xinglan shook off Xiao Ze's hand. She looked around, worried that if people misunderstood their relationship, how could she stay at school properly?
Chu Xinglan and Xiao Ze arrived in front of the red house, a high-end restaurant where the cost of a single dish could cover the monthly expenses of an average family.
"Are we really going to eat here?" Chu Xinglan felt her wallet gradually shrinking.
"I think this is the best place to eat, and the food here is delicious," Xiao Ze said with a smile.
“But everyone who comes here is a couple.” She hoped to change Xiao Ze’s mind.
"Who says only couples can come here? I like to come here to eat alone all the time." Xiao Ze noticed her pained expression.
I never expected this junior high school girl to be such a money-grubber.
In the end, Chu Xinglan was still reluctantly led into the red house by Xiao Ze.
"Welcome." The waitress at the door warmly ushered them in and seated them.
"You two are such a perfect match!"
"We are not..."
Just as Chu Xinglan was about to explain, she suddenly heard a voice: "Lanlan, what are you doing here?"
Upon hearing the sound and looking at the scene, Chu Xinglan's mood soured.
Xu Yang and Yu Jiaojiao walked towards her.
