Chapter Index

    The next day.

    Xu Shaochen carried Zhao Qingyu’s bag to school, planning to tease her a bit.

    But all day, he didn’t see Zhao Qingyu at all. He was puzzled. Could she be avoiding him out of shyness?

    Left with no choice, he brought the bag back home.

    Oh, and he kindly washed her underwear and stockings.

    He can handle both the living room and the kitchen, and even wash clothes for women. Good men like him are hard to find nowadays.

    The weekend flew by. In those two days, Xu Shaochen shuttled between Song Xinran, Xie Wei, and Du Ruyan, which left him exhausted.

    But there’s one thing worth mentioning: he went to school on Sunday to look for Zhao Qingyu but still didn’t see her.

    It wasn’t until Xu Shaochen called his brother-in-law Zhao Qingfeng that he found out Zhao Qingyu had gone to Yunzhou for a teacher training session, which would last for half a month.

    Xu Shaochen couldn’t help but wonder if it was fate or destiny, since he was also about to go to Yunzhou.

    He even brought Zhao Qingyu’s bag with him, as part of his little mischievous scheme.

    He had also taken a leave of absence from school for half a month. For someone as academically gifted as him, every day was a holiday as long as he aced his exams.

    He was certain that Zhao Qingyu would be thrilled to see him in Yunzhou.

    On Monday morning at 8 AM, Xu Shaochen and Mei Liangxin boarded their flight to Yunzhou.

    Xu Shaochen had called Liu Rushuang in advance, and she would be picking them up at the airport.

    “I’m always worried the plane might crash,” Mei Liangxin said to Xu Shaochen.

    Xu Shaochen rolled his eyes. “What are you afraid of? I’ve got more to lose than you. If the plane crashes, I’m the one who stands to lose the most.”

    “When you put it that way, it does make sense. I feel much better now.” Mei Liangxin nodded, then called out to the flight attendant, “Hey beautiful, could you come over here?”

    “Hello sir, how can I assist you?” The tall, uniformed flight attendant came over with a sweet smile on her face.

    “Do you have any red wine?” Mei Liangxin asked.

    The flight attendant nodded. “Yes, we do.”

    “What about soda?” Mei Liangxin asked again.

    The flight attendant maintained her smile. “Yes, we have that too.”

    “Then I’ll have… a bottle of mineral water.” Mei Liangxin said after a brief pause.

    The flight attendant’s smile never faltered, but Xu Shaochen clearly saw the corners of her mouth twitch twice.

    She was surely cursing Mei Liangxin’s ancestors in her mind.

    Xu Shaochen sighed. “Mei Liangxin, you’re the kind of guy who’s going to get punched someday.”

    “I’ve lived this long without getting punched, so I must be destined for something great.” Mei Liangxin said seriously.

    Xu Shaochen: “…”

    Jiangzhou and Yunzhou weren’t far apart. It only took a few hours by car, so flying was even quicker.

    By shortly after 9 AM, their plane had landed at Yunzhou Airport.

    ………

    Outside the airport.

    Liu Rushuang stood there in a long white dress, her flowing hair caressed by the breeze. With her ethereal beauty, she looked like a fairy who had descended from the clouds.

    Many people around her couldn’t help but take another look. Several men approached her to strike up a conversation, but they were all turned down.

    Suddenly, everyone saw a faint smile appear on Liu Rushuang’s face. That smile was so captivating that even the flowers in the nearby garden seemed to lose their color. It was the kind of smile that could topple a nation.

    Xu Shaochen spotted Liu Rushuang, who was as radiant as a pearl, and immediately walked over briskly.

    Seeing this, the people around laughed, ready to enjoy the show.

    “How many does this make? Seven, right? Tsk tsk, another fool about to hit a wall.”

    “How long do you think it’ll take for him to get shut down?”

    “Heh, there was a guy with a Ferrari earlier who didn’t last a minute. This guy? I give him five seconds tops before he’s sent packing.”

    A group of people started gossiping, looking at Xu Shaochen with mockery. Most of them were guys who had just been rejected by Liu Rushuang themselves.

    After getting rejected, they were now taking pleasure in watching others get rejected. It made them feel a little better.

    Some of them were quite well-off and had even gone back to fetch their luxury cars, but Liu Rushuang still hadn’t given them the time of day.

    Now, here was Xu Shaochen casually dragging his suitcase over to chat her up, and in their eyes, it was just a joke.

    But the next second, the expressions on their faces froze.

    Liu Rushuang suddenly rushed over and hugged Xu Shaochen tightly, and then the two of them started kissing passionately right in front of everyone.

    Ever since they had taken their relationship to the next level, Liu Rushuang didn’t shy away from showing affection to Xu Shaochen anymore. After all, they’d already been intimate.

    “Wow!”

    Everyone who had been waiting to enjoy the spectacle was stunned and immediately started talking.

    “Damn, these two are a couple! That guy is insanely lucky.”

    “Yeah, Damn, I’m so jealous. I’m already thinking about where to bury him.”

    “Darn it, even my Audi didn’t work. What does this guy have that I don’t?” A young man cursed, his eyes filled with envy.

    A middle-aged man next to him chuckled and said, “Kid, driving an Audi A4 isn’t something to be so smug about. That watch on his wrist could buy two of your Audis.”

    “Buddy, you’re kidding, right?”

    Everyone else was equally shocked, looking at the middle-aged man in disbelief. Wearing such an expensive watch seemed too far-fetched to them.

    Forgive them—their poverty limited their imagination.

    “Kidding? I’ve got no time for jokes. Look at his outfit: everything he’s wearing is worth at least four figures. The watch on his wrist is a Rolex.”

    The middle-aged man laughed lightly, somewhat exasperated by their lack of awareness.

    After hearing this, the crowd went silent. Compared to him, they were just kids.

    The young man who had mentioned his Audi earlier now alternated between looking embarrassed and pale. He felt like he’d lost face completely.

    With such an impressive boyfriend, why would she bother with any of them?

    “Hey, you two, that’s enough. Don’t you care about my feelings?”

    Mei Liangxin stood to the side, his eyes filled with resentment as he watched the two of them making out. Even his words were tinged with bitterness.

    How many single people in the world could understand his pain?

    “We just didn’t want you to go hungry, so here’s some doggie treats to fill you up,” Xu Shaochen said, releasing Liu Rushuang and smiling at Mei Liangxin.

    Mei Liangxin rolled his eyes, feeling like the world was filled with malice towards him.

    Xu Shaochen was juggling multiple relationships, while Mei Liangxin hadn’t even secured one.

    Instead of having one stable relationship, Xu Shaochen was monopolizing several women at the same time.

    Thanks to him, the world was bound to have a few more single people.
