Chapter 37 - Chapter 37: Anger

There were tables for four in the cafeteria. 

Shi Hai and Chu Chen sat on one side, while Jian Sichun and Zhu Lingjie sat opposite them.

It was lunch time, and Canteen No. 2 was the closest to the dormitory building, so the canteen was already full of students eating.

Fortunately, they arrived early, so they found a seat and sat down easily.

And as expected, their table was the most eye-catching.

Jian Sichun didn't even have the heart to eat. 

She looked at Shi Hai and Chu Chen with suspicion, trying to find out the clues between them.

Zhu Lingjie's reaction was even more pure.

Her androphobia kicked in.

Her joints seemed to be rusted, her movements became stiff, and her expression was completely frozen.

After all, what she have is genuine androphobia, not selective androphobia where one has no reaction at all when seeing handsome guys.

The most natural one was Shi Hai. 

After sitting down, he pointed his thumb at Chu Chen beside him and said.

"Meet my friend, Chu Chen."

Chu Chen actually didn't want to say a word.

But seeing that Shi Hai had introduced himself, he still reluctantly opened his mouth and said hello.

"…Hello."

Jian Sichun's social skills were completely ruined when facing strangers, and she spoke with an unnatural smile.

"Ah, hello, hello... I didn't expect that Shi Hai has such a handsome friend..."

Do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know?

As a reincarnated person, Jian Sichun has no reason not to know about Chu Chen's existence.

Shi Hai thought that this was probably just a polite remark.

But Jian Sichun had never seen Chu Chen, nor did she remember that Shi Hai had such a handsome friend.

That's why when she met Chu Chen, she suspected that there was something wrong with Shi Hai's sexual orientation.

As for Shi Hai, the moment he brought Chu Chen here, his goal had been achieved.

Now all you have to do is find a reason to go 'invisible'.

"I'll go order some food, you guys chat..."

Shi Hai took out his meal card and was about to order food, but Jian Sichun glared at him and snatched his meal card away.

"Sit down! Don't leave!"

"Well..."

Jian Sichun, who already knew what he wanted to do, was determined not to let Shi Hai leave, otherwise this guy would most likely leave again with an excuse like "going to the bathroom" and would not show up until after dinner.

Her original plan was just to have dinner with Shi Hai, how could she let this guy run away in the middle of the meal?

"Lingling and I will go! You just sit here!"

Thinking of this, Jian Sichun pulled the bewildered Zhu Lingjie to get food.

Shi Hai looked back at the two people in confusion.

Chu Chen still looked straight ahead, crossed his arms and commented calmly.

"It's the first I saw you made a mistake in judgment."

"Well..."

"They are not ordinary women and they have absolutely no interest in me."

"All right..."

Shi Hai scratched his head and felt that this operation was a bit wrong.

The main reason was that he didn't expect that the reactions of Jian Sichun and Zhu Lingjie were so different from those of ordinary girls.

He was very confident in Chu Chen's appearance, which could definitely win the hearts of 99% of girls.

But now it seems that Jian Sichun and Zhu Lingjie are the remaining 1%.

But if Jian Sichun and Zhu Lingjie have no interest in Chu Chen...what about the other way around?

While the two men went to get food, Shi Hai asked Chu Chen.

"Brother Chen, what do you think of them?"

"...scary."

"Ah? Scary? Are they scary?"

This evaluation was beyond Shi Hai's expectations.

He actually said that two beautiful girls were scary?

What was so scary about them?

Could it be that Chu Chen is also afraid of women? 

So, up until now, he's avoided getting close to women just because he's scared of them?

"Mm... women with deep obsessions are very scary." 

After saying this, Chu Chen gave Shi Hai a sympathetic yet pitying look.

Shi Hai was even more confused. 

How did Chu Chen see that these women had deep obsessions?

And what exactly did he mean by 'deep obsessions'?

Just as Shi Hai was puzzled, Jian Sichun and Zhu Lingjie came back with trays full of various dishes, both meat and vegetable, all of which were popular and would be gone if they arrived late.

By this time, the cafeteria was already quite crowded, and there were students lining up at the popular stalls. 

But because they were beauties, they naturally received preferential treatment from the 'gentlemen' who were willing to let them cut in line.

However, when everyone saw Jian Sichun and Zhu Lingjie walking towards Shi Hai's table, they all turned into clowns.

Seeing Chu Chen's face, they despaired at this world where girls only care about looks.

After cursing inwardly, 'So what if he's handsome?', they bitterly went to get some fruit, craving a peach.

No one noticed Shi Hai at all.

This was exactly what Shi Hai wanted.

Unfortunately, the dining experience did not go as he had imagined.

Except for the initial greeting, Chu Chen was silent, quietly eating his meal.

Despite being lively at breakfast, Jian Sichun was now also silent, and Zhu Lingjie turn completely mute.

Did I have to be the one to liven up the atmosphere? 

I can't come up with anything interesting to say...

Besides, he felt that if he told a few cold jokes now, it would only lower the temperature further. 

So he obediently shut his mouth and focused on eating.

In this suffocating atmosphere, Shi Hai experienced the consequences of his actions.

Fortunately, everyone was focused on eating, and the meal was finished much faster than usual, ending the gathering quickly.

After returning the trays, the four left the cafeteria, and Chu Chen casually thanked them.

"Thanks for the meal."

"We're buddies, no need to be so formal! Ah, since we don't have class this afternoon, let's go to the internet cafe, Brother Chen..."

Though it wasn't part of the original plan, Shi Hai patted Chu Chen on the back, looking like he was ready to go gaming with his good friend.

However, before he could take a step, Jian Sichun and Zhu Lingjie each grabbed one of his shoulders.

"Hold on!"

"Don't go..."

"Uh..."

Shi Hai broke into a cold sweat.

After pulling Shi Hai back, Jian Sichun gave Chu Chen an apologetic look.

"Sorry for the trouble..."

"It's no trouble."

Chu Chen thought for a moment and decided to give them some advice.

"...If you don't speak directly, even if he understands, he'll play dumb."

"I understand... Thank you. We'll treat you to a proper meal next time."

"No need."

Chu Chen waved and walked away, while Shi Hai reached out like a character from a drama, trying to hold him back.

"Wait! Brother Chen! Don't abandon me!"

But Chu Chen walked away without looking back.

When it came to matters involving women, he wanted no part of it.

After Chu Chen left, Jian Sichun and Zhu Lingjie flanked Shi Hai and 'escorted' him to the rooftop of the old dormitory building.

Once there, they finally let go of his arms.

Shi Hai turned around, saw their dark faces, and couldn't help but swallow nervously.

Chu Chen's words were right.

Very scary...

It seemed he had completely angered them.

Making women angry is scary, making beautiful women angry is even scarier...

But the scariest thing is angering two at once.
