Chapter 10: Young Master Gao, hello, I am Shi Yanzhou

That girl was indeed good-looking, and her aura was very fresh and refined, but at a glance, she was clearly the type of person who… would be incredibly boring to spend time with.

The trio’s evaluating gazes weren’t exactly subtle.
Shi Kezhen sensed someone watching her and slightly raised her eyes.
Across a few tables, the three prominent figures of Jingda were looking in her direction.

She didn’t flatter herself into thinking they were interested in her, nor was she curious about why they were suddenly paying attention to her.

Pretending not to notice, Shi Kezhen remained unfazed and continued eating at her slow, deliberate pace.

Her appetite was indeed very small, and she ate very little.
However, due to her dining habits, her eating speed was incredibly slow.

Therefore, even though she didn’t eat much, it still took her a full twenty minutes to put down her chopsticks.
She took out a tissue, gently wiped the corners of her mouth, then picked up her tray, stood up, and left.

As she walked past Gao Cheng and his friends, her gaze didn’t deviate the slightest bit, nor did her footsteps pause for half a second.

She remained completely indifferent to their undisguised scrutiny.

By the time she left the cafeteria, it had reached the peak dining hour.
More and more students were pouring in to eat.

The number of female students secretly glancing at Gao Cheng and his friends was also increasing.
Some girls had even taken out their phones to sneakily snap photos.

A few bold girls, highly confident in their own looks, even carried their trays over, attempting to share a table with them.

But without exception, not a single one succeeded.
From beginning to end, the three guys didn’t even spare them a glance.

Gao Cheng withdrew his gaze, feeling somewhat disappointed, and stood up.
“Let’s go.”

The three of them left the cafeteria, turning and heading straight for the school gates.

On the way, Jiang Chengshuo made a phone call to book a private room at a restaurant, ordering their favorite dishes in advance.

***

At a newly opened “Mist Escape Room Experience Center” near Jingzhou University, the heavy doors were pushed open, and several young men and women walked out, laughing and joking.

Among them was a girl with long, wavy hair cascading to her waist, possessing a bright and dazzling beauty.
She was clinging to the arm of the exceptionally handsome boy next to her.
“Yanzhou, after playing all afternoon, I’m starving. Let’s go get something to eat.”

Shi Yanzhou looked down at her and nodded with a smile.
“Sure, what do you want to eat?”

Li Yunshu turned to look at the other two couples and asked, “What do you guys want to eat?”

It was obvious that those two couples were just tagging along with them, and they were very sensible.
They waved their hands one after another, expressing, “Anything is fine! Whatever Goddess Yunshu wants to eat, we’ll eat.”

“Goddess” Li Yunshu smiled in satisfaction.
Shaking Shi Yanzhou’s arm, she said, “Then let’s go eat hotpot.”

Shi Yanzhou had no objections.
“Let’s go then.”

***

The group had a lively and bustling meal at the hotpot restaurant.

Halfway through the meal, Li Yunshu felt hot and took off her small jacket, revealing a tight black camisole underneath, which prompted Shi Yanzhou to steal several extra glances at her.

After finishing their meal and coming out, Li Yunshu touched her neck, struck by another idea.
“I’m too full, I don’t want to go back to school so early. Let’s hang out a bit more and head back later.”

When it came to hanging out, Shi Yanzhou was always generous.
He practically paid for all the food and entertainment.

Naturally, the other two couples were happy to continue tagging along for free food and fun, chiming in one after another: “Sure! Sounds great!”

Shi Yanzhou glanced at the time; it was already past nine in the evening.
His smile faltered slightly as he hesitated.

He hadn’t been at school all afternoon, so Shi Kezhen was definitely worried.
At this hour, she might even be waiting downstairs at his dormitory building.

How annoying.

“Yanzhou~~”

Sensing his hesitation, Li Yunshu shook his arm and acted spoiled.
“Let’s go back to school a little later~~ Please~~”

Being shaken by her, Shi Yanzhou surrendered very quickly.
“Alright, alright, we’ll go back later then.”

Delighted, Li Yunshu hugged him and planted a loud kiss on his cheek.
“Where should we go to play next then? How about we go to KTV and sing?”

Shi Yanzhou thought for a moment and shook his head.
“Let’s go to the billiards club instead.”

After spending the entire afternoon playing the escape room, his brain was a bit tired, and he didn’t want to go to a noisy place.

Li Yunshu knew Shi Yanzhou liked playing billiards, so she didn’t object, nodding with a smile.
“Okay, then we’ll go to the billiards club.”

***

The group went to the largest billiards club near Jingzhou University.

They headed straight for the nine-ball area on the second floor.
The moment they pushed the door open, the crisp sound of colliding billiard balls reached their ears.

Shi Yanzhou’s gaze swept casually around the room and then paused.
What a coincidence to run into the three great “male gods” of Jingda right here.

Shi Yanzhou didn’t have much interaction with Gao Cheng or Jiang Chengshuo, but he was familiar with Jiang Zhexi.

After all, their two families had business dealings with each other, and since both were the only sons in their families, they occasionally bumped into each other at social events with their parents.

Furthermore, they happened to both be sophomores at Jingda’s Business School—one in the

Finance Department, and the other in the Business Administration Department.

When they ran into each other, they always had topics to chat about.

Shi Yanzhou whispered to Li Yunshu, “Wait for me here.”

He then took the initiative to walk over and greet them.
“Hi, Young Master Jiang. What a coincidence to see you playing here too.”

Jiang Zhexi was holding a cue stick. Hearing the voice, he raised his head and glanced at the person approaching.

He thought to himself, ‘What a true coincidence. We were just gossiping about his Shi family this afternoon, and we run into the main character tonight.’
