Chapter 548: She’s Saying I’m Stupid
by xennovelBook Chapter 548: She’s Saying I’m Stupid (Update 1)
Night. Lin
A Defender BJ80 SUV was parked in a public parking spot outside a coffee shop.
Its muscular frame boasted explosive, defined lines that screamed power and swagger.
A rugged ride like this was sure to catch many a man’s eye.
When the door swung open and an office lady stepped out,
many male passersby nearly popped their eyes out.
A woman? Driving a car like that?
The woman appeared to be in her mid-twenties.
Her cool, finely chiseled features were remarkably striking.
Despite her athletic build and long work-ready legs, she was barefoot, carrying a pair of high heels.
As she bent down to slip on her shoes, her graceful curves held many men in rapt attention.
After donning her heels, Zhou Yanyu furrowed her delicate brows, glanced at the coffee shop, and stepped inside with elegant poise…
……
Wang Cheng was both nervous and excited, fidgeting in his seat.
He thought he’d acted too rashly, too recklessly.
But his master had been right.
One must have dreams, charge ahead, and fear nothing.
To pursue the boldest endeavors and live out a passionately spirited youth.
Otherwise, what tales will you spin in your old age?
Just go for it!
Just as Wang Cheng’s blood was boiling and he grinned wildly, boosting his confidence,
a woman sat down across from him, watching him with a half-smile.
The adorably clueless Wang Cheng was lost in fantasies of winning over an older woman,
completely oblivious to the extra company as he grinned foolishly.
Heh heh… Zhou Yanyu mused inwardly, eyeing the ‘little brother’ before her.
To her, Wang Cheng was nothing more than an adorably suck-up puppy.
They had met just once before, and she found him rather amusing.
Simple-minded, goofy, and a bit clumsy, he loved to act all macho in front of her.
Facing a guy like him, Zhou Yanyu felt that yesterday had been quite pleasant.
It was carefree and relaxing—no need for a fake mask.
“Ah, you’re here?”
Wang Cheng finally noticed Zhou Yanyu and exclaimed in surprise.
“Yeah.”
Zhou Yanyu replied coolly and signaled to a nearby server, “One latte, please.”
Just as the server turned to leave, Wang Cheng interjected, “It’s evening; coffee might keep you awake.”
The server looked startled while Zhou Yanyu frowned.
Wang Cheng realized he’d misspoken and lowered his head sheepishly.
He almost wanted to slap himself.
How low can you go?
You’ve barely met her—only twice—and you have no right to boss her around!
That’s it, you’re done for!
“Could I have a glass of juice, please? Thank you.”
The cool, detached tone reached a regretful Wang Cheng.
“Uh!”
Wang Cheng looked up in astonishment, staring blankly at the indifferent Zhou Yanyu.
“What are you looking at me for?”
A hint of a smile flashed in Zhou Yanyu’s eyes.
“So beautiful.”
Wang Cheng blurted it out before he could stop himself.
Zhou Yanyu arched her brows, a trace of irritation in her tone.
Flirting?
Glancing at the goofy Wang Cheng before her, Zhou Yanyu smirked.
It wasn’t flirting; he was just plain silly.
She couldn’t help but laugh inwardly…
Wang Cheng blushed, realizing he had misspoken again, and stammered, “I… I didn’t mean to…”
“I know.”
Zhou Yanyu smirked and asked, “Are we having dinner tonight?”
“Not yet.”
Wang Cheng grinned foolishly, “I was actually planning to invite you for dinner.”
“Haha!”
Unable to hold back her laughter, Zhou Yanyu asked, “Is this how you’ve always pursued girls?”
So silly, so straightforward, but… it’s fun!
“I haven’t really pursued anyone,” Wang Cheng admitted, scratching his head.
He felt like a complete fool!
“Let’s grab dinner first.”
Zhou Yanyu stood up and called over the server to settle the bill.
But Wang Cheng pulled out his wallet and paid the tab before she could.
Zhou Yanyu just smiled and said nothing.
The two left the coffee shop together.
“What shall we eat?” Zhou Yanyu asked.
“I…”
After a brief hesitation, Wang Cheng gritted his teeth, “Let’s hit a barbecue spot—the kind you find at a street stall.”
Zhou Yanyu gave him a puzzled look.
“If you don’t like it.”
Wang Cheng, a bit nervous, replied, “We can go somewhere else.”
Zhou Yanyu asked seriously, “Why do you keep insisting on taking me to a street barbecue?”
“Oh, it was my master who said that.”
Wang Cheng said with a grin, “He said if there’s someone you like, take her for barbecue. It’s delicious, affordable, and practical. He even mentioned that he once took his master’s wife for a street barbecue—and she loved it. I think you might enjoy it too.”
With that, Zhou Yanyu’s lips curved as she replied, “Let’s go.”
Wang Cheng, astonished, blurted, “Huh? What?”
“Aren’t we going for barbecue?”
Zhou Yanyu chuckled lightly, “I actually like it.”
“Really?”
Wang Cheng beamed, “Alright then, let’s go.”
The two headed toward a barbecue stall at the nearby night market…
Inside a Red Flag Car.
A young couple, who had planned to enjoy some barbecue,
accidentally witnessed the scene unfolding before them…
“Is he a fool?”
Xiao Yu stroked his chin and turned to glance at Mu Qingwu in the passenger seat, “Sis, can you believe it? He’s actually my disciple!”
“Haha!”
Mu Qingwu burst into laughter, her dewy eyes exuding an enchanting charm, as she playfully teased, “Who has a mischievous master like you snooping on his disciple? Aren’t you a fool as well?”
“……”
Xiao Yu noted that his elder sister could use some discipline.
A real man always stands tall!
“Let’s head home.”
Xiao Yu grinned broadly, “I reckon Mu Mu desperately wants a little sister!”
Mu Qingwu could easily see her little brother’s mischief and teased, “Stop it.”
“So, are we still going for barbecue?”
Xiao Yu, feeling exasperated with his clueless disciple, mused, “I wonder if they’ll even end up together.”
Watching the two fading figures, Mu Qingwu’s eyes twinkled as she remarked, “Chances are they’ll be together.”
Xiao Yu exclaimed, “Ah?”
“Boys love girls with pure hearts, and girls cherish sweet, silly guys.”
Mu Qingwu pinched Xiao Yu’s cheek, her luminous eyes like glasses of fine vintage, “Got it?”
Xiao Yu looked puzzled.
Was she hinting that Wang Cheng was stupid?
No, a disciple’s silliness goes without saying.
Damn, is she calling me stupid?
Just as Xiao Yu was about to properly ‘discipline’ the bossy master,
suddenly,
an accident occurred at a street stall in the distant night market.
Bang, bang, bang… gunshots rang out!
