Chapter 5: Little Fatty Said She Likes Him

Tang Shu couldn’t help shaking her head.

Every boyfriend Shi Manman had ever dated carried a bit of Shen Wenbin’s shadow.

She had a crush on him.

But she was stubborn and too afraid that he might not like her back.

That was why she kept changing boyfriends.

As for those boyfriends, none of them were innocent either.

Every breakup ended with them receiving a hefty breakup payment.

Looking at Shi Manman’s gaze, Tang Shu felt as though her eyes were practically glued to Shen Wenbin.

Leaning closer, she whispered into her ear,

“Manman, if you like him, then go after him.”

Shi Manman immediately snapped back to reality.

“ShuShu, what are you talking about?”

“I don’t like him at all.”

“You know perfectly well that every time we meet, we end up fighting.”

Tang Shu smiled knowingly.

“But Manman, eyes don’t lie.”

“I’ve never dated before, but I can tell how your emotions change.”

She had noticed it from the very beginning.

After all, she drew romance comics for a living.

To gather inspiration, she’d read countless novels.

Campus romances.

Sweet romance stories.

Domineering CEOs chasing their wives through crematorium-level regret.

She’d read them all.

Shi Manman pinched Tang Shu’s cheek in annoyance.

“ShuShu, you really need to read fewer novels.”

“Or you’re going to end up malnourished.”

Tang Shu’s face immediately turned red.

Not from embarrassment.

From being pinched.

Her skin was so delicate that even the lightest touch would leave a blush.

“Seriously, your skin is ridiculously soft.”

“I barely pinched you, and your face is already red.”

Tang Shu grinned.

“The waters and soil of Jiangnan nurture people well.”

“So?”

“Any interest in visiting Yuncheng this year?”

The topic was successfully diverted.

Shi Manman immediately brightened.

“Sure!”

“I was supposed to go last year.”

“But Shen Wenbin forced me to spend two months studying advanced mathematics.”

The memory made her sigh.

Back in her freshman year, she had failed advanced mathematics.

Shen Wenbin had laughed at her for ages.

Eventually, her mother asked him to tutor her.

Just so she wouldn’t fail the makeup exam too.

She had practically relearned every math concept from elementary school all the way to university.

Even now, thinking about it gave her a headache.

Thankfully, those two months had actually helped.

Her later courses became much easier.

“See?”

Tang Shu laughed.

“Now you’re completely comfortable in linear algebra classes.”

“That’s true.”

“So this year I can finally travel.”

Just then, Shen Wenbin and his companion passed by them again.

This time, they stopped.

The young man beside him was named Wei Chengze.

They had apparently been childhood friends.

Wei Chengze was the classic sunshine-boy type.

He looked at Shi Manman and smiled.

“Manman, taking a walk with your roommates?”

“Yep.”

“Finished running already?”

“Mm.”

“We just wrapped up.”

Beside him, Shen Wenbin’s gaze swept across Shi Manman.

“So what happened this time?”

“Heartbroken again?”

“You really have terrible taste in men.”

“You insist on picking rotten melons and crooked dates.”

Shi Manman immediately exploded.

“Mind your own business!”

“I didn’t get dumped!”

Shen Wenbin chuckled.

“Then who was the one sulking all afternoon?”

“Shen Wenbin!”

“Do you have a problem?”

“Were you spying on me?”

Without answering, Shen Wenbin walked over to where their bags were stored.

He picked up a bottle of water and drank several mouthfuls.

The moment Shi Manman saw him, her anger instantly diminished.

Too damn handsome.

Tang Shu fought hard not to laugh.

Once again, Shi Manman was staring blankly at Shen Wenbin.

After finishing his water, Shen Wenbin said,

“I just happened to see you at the library.”

“Honestly, for a rich young lady, you’ve become quite the lovesick fool.”

Well…

That instantly reignited Shi Manman’s anger.

The two immediately launched into their usual bickering.

Meanwhile, Tang Shu’s phone vibrated.

She walked over to the side and took it out.

[Yu: Mm, it looks lively.]

[When I come back, I’ll walk around with you.]

Tang Shu’s hand trembled slightly.

What did that mean?

Was he planning to return to China?

But that shouldn’t be the case.

Aunt Qiao had specifically said the whole reason for this mission was because he refused to come home.

[ShuShu Has Candy: You’re coming back to China?]

[Yu: Not yet.]

[A few more months.]

The moment Tang Shu saw the reply, she relaxed.

A few more months.

Good.

She only had less than two months remaining.

After that, things between them would be over.

[ShuShu Has Candy: Then I’ll wait for Brother to come back and tour the campus with me~]

[Yu: Whatever others have, you’ll have too.]

Tang Shu clicked her tongue.

As expected of a young master.

Even the way he spoke sounded like a domineering CEO.

Whatever other people had?

She didn’t care.

Nor did she want anything.

This relationship was just a mission.

Once it was complete, she’d get paid.

Her family’s situation would improve.

Her parents would have less pressure on them.

So she immediately changed the subject.

[ShuShu Has Candy: Brother, did you just wake up?]

[Yu: Mm.]

[ShuShu Has Candy: Good morning, Brother~]

[Today is another beautiful day~]

[Yu: Mm.]

Another “Mm.”

Still as cold and aloof as ever.

For a moment, she’d thought he had changed.

Instead, it felt like everything had returned to square one.

Tang Shu quickly searched online for a collection of cheesy pickup lines.

Then copied and pasted one.

[ShuShu Has Candy: Today’s breeze is sweet.]

[But not as sweet as Brother’s lips~]

In America, Shi Zhiyu froze mid-brush.

His gaze landed on the final two words.

Sweet lips?

Did she want a kiss?

Was it because spring had arrived?

Did she…

No.

He had to stop this immediately.

She absolutely could not kiss another man.

[Yu: Do you want a kiss?]

When Tang Shu saw the message, she nearly threw her phone.

What kind of nonsense was that?!

Who wanted a kiss?!

Only then did she actually read what she’d sent.

She had copied and pasted it without looking.

And had accidentally pasted something huge.

[ShuShu Has Candy: …No.]

[Yu: Oh.]

[Remember this.]

[You’re not allowed to kiss anyone else.]

[ShuShu Has Candy: Huh?]

[Yu: Wait until I come back.]

[Then you can kiss me.]

Tang Shu rubbed her forehead.

Well…

He had completely misunderstood.

But whatever.

Let him misunderstand.

She sent a shy cat sticker.

[ShuShu Has Candy: Brother is so nice~]

[Can I touch your abs?]

Shi Zhiyu became even more convinced.

Yes.

This was definitely his wife.

He had to indulge her.

Otherwise, she might go looking for some other man.

[Yu: You can touch them when we meet.]

[ShuShu Has Candy: Brother, aren’t you spoiling me too much?]

[I’ll become arrogant from all this pampering.]

[Yu: I want to.]

When Tang Shu saw those three words, her heart skipped several beats.

She had originally wanted to test Shi Zhiyu’s boundaries.

Instead, she discovered he had none.

She was fairly certain that if she told him right now that she wanted to sleep with him when they met…

He’d probably agree.

Good grief.

Covering her chest, Tang Shu wondered if this was really okay.

It felt like she was deceiving the feelings of a perfectly innocent man.

With just over a month left, it seemed she wouldn’t even need to flirt anymore.

The young master was already spoiling her without limits.

Wouldn’t her mission be ridiculously easy at this rate?

Whatever.

His mother was the one who arranged this whole thing.

Besides, weren’t there countless women around the young master anyway?

At worst, Aunt Qiao could simply introduce him to a few more later.

[ShuShu Has Candy: Wow~]

[How can Brother be this wonderful?]

[I like Brother more and more~]

When Shi Zhiyu saw the message, a smile immediately appeared in his eyes.

How wonderful.

Little Fatty said she liked him.

That meant she probably wouldn’t run away.

Across from him, Song Yan noticed that Shi Zhiyu was in an excellent mood while eating.

Looks like his online sweetheart had successfully cheered him up again.

Honestly, he was dying to meet this legendary person.

What kind of girl could make his friend obsess over her for more than a decade?

What did she look like?

What kind of person was she?

“Zhiyu.”

“Where’s your fiancée from?”

“Yuncheng.”

“And where is she now?”

Shi Zhiyu thought for a moment.

“Probably Jiang City.”

“My mom gave her my WeChat.”

“That means she’s studying in Jiang City.”

“Then what’s her name?”

“And which university in Jiang City does she attend?”
