"Why are you so late?"
Shen Lang pulled out a chair for Su Lexuan and set it up. "The waiters have already asked us a few times if we want to order."
"I've never been here before!"
Su Lexuan huffed and hit Shen Lang lightly with her tiny fists. "And don't blame me, and don't ever again!"
The four guys, who were originally indifferent, were now stunned into silence when they saw Su Lexuan in person.
Tan Linfeng even turned his phone to silent and secretly opened Douyin under the table to compare the video of the popular military training clip of Su Lexuan with the real-life version.
The result was a perfect match, and in fact, Su Lexuan looked even prettier in person, with a sweeter voice.
The guys began to wonder if Shen Lang had paid Su Lexuan to pretend for their benefit.
But Shen Lang had his hand around Su Lexuan's slim waist, hugging and touching her.
Not only did Su Lexuan not seem to mind, but she adjusted her seating to get closer to Shen Lang, making his embrace even more comfortable.
Just from this ambiguous behavior, they quickly believed this wasn't an act.
This guy really did manage to date the campus beauty from Zhuhai University!
Damn, you lucky bastard!
"Alright, alright, I can't mess with you."
Shen Lang smiled indulgently and turned to greet Su Lexuan's friends.
"Hey, how's it going? Good to see you all again. Make yourselves comfortable, don't be shy. Waiter, bring the menu!"
The waiter brought several menus, and Shen Lang asked her to give them to Su Lexuan's friends and roommates, saying generously, "Order whatever you want. Miss Su is covering the bill tonight!"
"Haha, then we won't hold back."
The two roommates eagerly grabbed the menus and started ordering.
"I'll pay, I'll pay."
Su Lexuan didn't mind at all; paying for the meal wasn't a big deal for her.
"Shen Lang, you're impressive."
Ye Xinxin, sitting next to Su Lexuan, said admiringly.
"You've only known my friend for a short time, and you're already introducing her to your parents?"
"Heh, it was bound to happen sooner or later."
After the girls had finished ordering, Shen Lang made a formal introduction of his friends.
"Let me introduce you all. These are my good buddies—these two are friends I've known since childhood, and these two are my college roommates."
As Shen Lang finished speaking, the girls curiously looked at the four shy guys in front of them.
The previously lively four guys suddenly seemed deflated, sitting on their chairs looking uncomfortable, with awkward yet polite smiles.
They hadn't expected Shen Lang's girlfriend to really be Su Lexuan, the campus beauty from Zhuhai University!
They were even more surprised that Su Lexuan's friends were all so pretty!
Especially this girl with short hair, who was as beautiful as Su Lexuan.
Ye Xinxin occasionally threw slightly flirtatious glances at the guys, making them blush and their hearts race.
"Come on, say hi."
Shen Lang reminded them, "You were so chatty earlier. Why are you all of a sudden too shy to talk to beautiful girls?"
Hearing the word "beautiful," the girls giggled, whispering among themselves, then started chatting with Shen Lang, their tinkling laughter filling the room.
"Hi, I'm Tan Linfeng."
Starting with Tan Linfeng, everyone began to nervously introduce themselves.
Even though the air-conditioned room was cool, the four guys were sweating after the introductions.
Shen Lang's friends weren't bad-looking, but their awkward and nervous smiles, along with their submissive demeanor, made them seem boring to the girls.
In simple terms, it showed a lack of confidence, and most girls don't find that attractive.
The two roommates clearly didn't pay much attention to these guys, chatting away on their own and occasionally interacting with Shen Lang.
"Hi, I'm Su Lexuan, a local and a freshman at Zhuhai University."
Su Lexuan, hugging Shen Lang's arm, greeted his four friends with a sweet smile, then looked at Tan Linfeng, who was sitting closest to Shen Lang.
"Shen Lang mentioned you were his roommate before?"
"Yeah, I'm also from Zhuhai University. Hi, hi."
Tan Linfeng nodded nervously, quickly downing his cup of tea to hide his anxiety.
Su Lexuan seemed a bit dissatisfied since Tan Linfeng didn't use the title she hoped for.
"Shen Lang, do you play 'Shovel'?"
Li Qiaoqiao, who was almost at 50 points of favorability, asked eagerly, "Since the food isn't here yet, let's play a game."
"My phone's almost out of battery."
Shen Lang decisively passed the opportunity to Tan Linfeng next to him. "My friend here plays, and he's a double-server 800-point King. Let him use a small account to help you."
Shen Lang then gave Tan Linfeng a look.
Tan Linfeng glanced at the cute Li Qiaoqiao and hurriedly took out his phone to open the game.
"Sure, let's play. I'll use a small account to help you. What's your ID? I'll add you."
"Okay."
Li Qiaoqiao smiled helplessly and started playing the game with Tan Linfeng, while the other three guys looked on with envy.
"How's that? I'm pretty thoughtful, right?"
Shen Lang whispered to Su Lexuan, proudly.
"Hmm, you're quick to react."
Su Lexuan responded with a hint of pride and then pouted, extending her right hand. "Shen Lang, I accidentally broke a nail when I went upstairs. It hurts a lot!"
"How could you be so careless? Does it still hurt?"
"A bit. It's burning."
"I'll blow on it for you."
….
"Isn't that gross?"
Ye Xinxin looked at the lovey-dovey pair with disdain, boredly taking out her phone to play a game.
"You, hi."
Seeing Ye Xinxin also starting a game, Wen Jie gathered his courage and invited, "Which server are you on? Do you want to duo with me?"
Ye Xinxin rested her fair chin on her hand, curiously looking at the nervous-looking guy. "I'm in Diamond. What's your rank? Can we duo?"
"I'm also a double-server King."
Wen Jie proudly replied and added, "But I happen to have a Diamond smurf account. Want to play together?"
"Sure."
Ye Xinxin nodded in agreement.
"My ID is: WakeUpAndSeeTheSea. Do you want me to add you or should you add me?"
Wen Jie was so excited he could barely speak clearly.
He hadn't expected it to be so easy to strike up a conversation with a girl as pretty as Su Lexuan.
Turns out, talking to girls isn't that hard—just take the first step!
Even just agreeing to play a game with him, Wen Jie started daydreaming about all sorts of romantic scenarios with Ye Xinxin.
He even exaggeratedly wondered if Ye Xinxin might have a crush on him, or if she simply liked guys like him.
Otherwise, why would she agree so readily!?
