Chapter 160: Come Quickly to Show Off

Jiang Qin received a call from Cao Guangyu after leaving the bathhouse.

“Old Jiang, the food is ready. Come quickly to show off!”

Jiang Qin was still a bit worried. He repeatedly confirmed with Cao Guangyu whether he had made it clear with Ding Xue. If she still called him “brother” or whined, he wouldn’t bring the little rich girl no matter what.

If you learn well it lasts a lifetime, if you learn bad things it spreads quickly, especially for a goddess-like girl like Feng Nanshu.

And the tricks she learned were all used on him.

“?”

Feng Nanshu seemed to have caught the keywords and slightly raised her head as if eavesdropping.

On the phone, Old Cao spoke with certainty, saying there was absolutely no problem!

“Don’t worry about my work. Ding Xue definitely won’t say half a word of ‘brother’ today.”

“Alright, you guys order first. We’ll be there soon.”

As the sun set, the originally warm Linchuan suddenly became cold again. With the raging west wind, the cold was even more intense.

Night quickly enveloped. People coming and going inside and outside the school couldn’t help but wrap their clothes tighter.

At the same time, in the private room on the second floor of Food is Heaven, Ding Xue left Cao Guangyu to go downstairs to order. Sitting opposite Old Cao were Ding Xue’s two roommates, Qu Yating and Cui Min.

These two girls had heavy makeup and were dressed quite fashionably. Seeing Ding Xue leave, their subtle sarcasm gradually started to act up again.

“Ding Xue’s clothes are a bit outdated today.”

“Cao Guangyu, advise her to change her style. She’s just an ordinary girl. If she doesn’t put effort into her clothes and makeup, she really has no highlights.”

It’s normal for female dormmates to have accumulated conflicts. This kind of two-faced plastic sisterhood is also quite common. It’s not really feuding, just taking verbal jabs.

For them, this subtle sense of superiority is quite addictive.

They didn’t dare say these things to Ding Xue’s face. Ding Xue was fierce when angry and really dared to hit people. But there was no problem saying it to Cao Guangyu.

If Cao Guangyu got irritated, they could still say “Hey, you’re a grown man, how can you take it so seriously with us girls.”

But Cao Guangyu wasn’t irritated at all today. Instead, he said “Ah yes yes yes” very casually, making Qu Yating and Cui Min feel a bit confused.

It felt like punching cotton, with no impact.

“Actually, you’re also ordinary girls, right? I don’t see any highlights anyway.”

Qu Yating and Cui Min were stunned for a moment. Then a hint of a mocking expression appeared. They were about to retort that Cao Guangyu had no taste, but then the door to the private room opened.

The next second, Jiang Qin walked in with Feng Nanshu.

The little rich girl’s looks were truly flawless from every angle. Matched with her expressionless, aloof vibe, the pressure was immense.

She didn’t know she was a weapon today. She sat obediently with a slight frown, not wanting to take her hand out of Jiang Qin’s pocket.

“Let me introduce, my dormmate, and his girlfriend.”

Cao Guangyu smiled crookedly, oozing charisma. “Where were we just now? You’re ordinary girls, right?”

“…”

Qu Yating and Cui Min’s expressions changed. Facing Feng Nanshu’s face, the confidence from before instantly scattered.

When they came back to their senses, they suddenly understood. Cao Guangyu’s “ordinary girl” comment just now was a delayed move, waiting for this moment to “slap” them in the face.

Girls put on makeup to be beautiful. But if even with makeup they don’t look as good as someone barefaced, psychologically they’ll feel inferior.

This guy… so vicious!

“I’ll go see if Ding Xue is done ordering. Cui Min, you keep them company and chat first.”

“Oh I just remembered there are dishes I want to eat too. Wait for me.”

Seeing the two leave with excuses, Cao Guangyu couldn’t stop laughing, feeling endless joy in his heart.

So satisfying, truly satisfying.

People say humans fight for face, Buddhas burn incense for it. Old Cao felt awesome, simply delighted to his core.

Jiang Qin looked at him like he was an idiot, thinking Cao Guangyu’s joy was really inexplicable.

“What are you laughing at?”

“Before you came, those two girls were being sarcastic, saying Ding Xue is an ordinary girl with an outdated style. I said they’re also ordinary girls. They wanted to retort, but you happened to come in right then. The two immediately didn’t dare speak.”

After hearing this, Jiang Qin clicked his tongue. “Just for this? This makes you so happy?”

“I bet from today on, they won’t be so confident anymore. I hate how they act all high and mighty with Ding Xue the most. So what if they can do makeup? My Ding Xue looks great even barefaced! In the future when they want to say ‘ordinary girl’ or whatever, they’ll definitely remember today and shut up.”

Cao Guangyu laughed for a while, then suddenly felt a bit sad. “Old Jiang, you can show off like this every day. I’m really a bit envious.”

Jiang Qin spat at him. “If you find them so annoying, why invite them to dinner? Got money to burn?”

“They previously treated when they started dating. If Ding Xue and I get together and don’t even treat a meal, they’d probably be even more sarcastic.”

“Awesome, Old Cao. You live your whole life just for face.”

Jiang Qin sighed in admiration and turned to Feng Nanshu. “You too, look how pretty your little face is. You scared them off.”

“?”

Feng Nanshu was dazed for a while, pondering for a long time but still not understanding the reason. She whined and scratched his pocket a couple times.

When Qu Yating and Cui Min returned after ordering, they were indeed much more well-behaved, eating with their heads down, occasionally chatting a bit with Ding Xue. It could be seen that their previous high and mighty attitude had completely vanished.

The fast tongue that comes from looking down on others is like this. Once hit, the previous pride turns into awkwardness.

Old Cao had deeply realized this principle, so he used it more maturely than anyone.

Just like at the beginning of the semester when he said Jiang Qin was ordinary and couldn’t get Song Qingqing. In the end, campus beauties kept showing up one after another that day. It was all experience built from blood and tears.

But what Old Cao didn’t expect was that the door to the private room was pushed open once again.

A guy with gelled hair walked in, wearing a silver chain around his neck, clearly a trendy fashionable guy. After entering, he greeted them.

“Bro, you’re here!”

Hearing this, Feng Nanshu’s eyes lit up and she turned to look at Jiang Qin.

Jiang Qin’s face darkened. He lowered his head and drank water without any expression.

Why does the whole world call their boyfriend “brother”? Can’t you call him “doggy” or “idiot”? It’s more affectionate!

“Let me introduce, this is my boyfriend, Liu Tiange, from University of Technology, a junior this year.”

Qu Yating put her arm around the newcomer and swept a cold gaze over Cao Guangyu, instantly boosting her confidence.

Girls’ competitive mentality is actually very direct. You bring a fairy to indirectly mock us as ordinary girls. So what if we can’t compare.

If we can’t compare ourselves, then we compare boyfriends. We must find our place, otherwise it’s too suffocating to hold it in.

“I just went to wash my car, sorry for being late.”

Liu Tiange took off his coat. His gaze casually swept over and froze when he saw Feng Nanshu, unable to react for a long time.

Smack–

Right at this moment, Jiang Qin tossed a pair of chopsticks over, hitting Liu Tiange. “Bro, you worked hard. Washing cars part-time is so tiring, but you still have to make time to accompany your girlfriend. Eat more, eat until you’re full so you have energy to work.”

Liu Tiange came back to his senses, his eyes a bit angry. “I went to the car wash to wash my own car!”

“Oh, then say it clearly. I thought you were washing cars for others.” Jiang Qin casually fed Feng Nanshu a peanut.

“What, never seen a student drive to school?”

“Never seen one. I have seen quite a few part-timers though.” Jiang Qin shook his head humbly.

Cui Min couldn’t help but speak up. “Yating, your boyfriend bought a car before even graduating?”

Qu Yating smiled charmingly. “The car was a birthday gift from his dad. We went for a drive together yesterday.”

“A car worth over 100,000 yuan, nothing worth mentioning.”

Liu Tiange took out a Volkswagen car key and casually tossed it on the table, acting nonchalant. “Having a car isn’t always good. Friends often want rides. I’m a softhearted person and rarely refuse. I have to wash the car every few days.”

Cui Min nudged Qu Yating. “That’s perfect then. Take us for a drive too!”

“Too many people, my car can’t fit everyone. Why don’t you buy one too? Then we can go on a road trip together. I know a place that’s especially suitable for self-driving.”

“Hey Ding Xue, tell your Cao Guangyu to buy a car. Then we can all go on a self-driving tour together!”

Ding Xue sensed something was off and immediately raised her eyebrows. “Are you paying? Buy buy buy, if not shut up and eat. So much nonsense.”

Cui Min pursed her lips in fright. “I wasn’t the one bragging about being a rich second generation.”

Hearing this, Jiang Qin raised his head. “Buying a 100,000 yuan car makes you a rich second generation now? The bar is so low?”

“Pfft…”

“What are you laughing at?”

Qu Yating shrugged. “Not laughing. A bug just flew by.”

As soon as she said this, the last dish for their private room was brought up. But the one serving this time wasn’t a waiter, but the boss of Food is Heaven, that pot-bellied old man with a BMW 5 Series.

He had noticed Jiang Qin as soon as he came upstairs and specially came over to serve the dish. But his expression was a bit smug, looking like he was holding in a fart.

“Jiang Qin, changed cars huh? Hehe!”

As soon as he said this, the private room instantly quieted down.

Jiang Qin glanced at him. “Change what car? No.”

“I clearly saw you come. Where’s the Bentley from last time? How come it changed to an A6!”

“Oh, you’re still holding a grudge? My family has many cars. I can’t change it up and drive a different one?”

“Downgrading from a Bentley to an Audi, that’s quite the drop. Tell me, the Bentley from last time was borrowed, wasn’t it?” The boss of Food is Heaven winked, looking like he had seen through everything.

“Me driving an Audi is the same level as your BMW. What are you so gleeful about?”

“…”

Jiang Qin grinned. “The worst I drive is an A6. I’m already quite arrogant. Wait until next time when I drive a crappy Volkswagen. Then you can mock me for being broke, it won’t be too late.”

The boss’s face changed. He thought, what Jiang Qin said makes sense! Jiang Qin’s worst car is an A6, my best is a 5 Series. What did I run over here for?

Damn, I can’t be so impulsive next time. I’ll wait until he drives an even crappier car to come mock him.

Jiang Qin turned back. “What were you saying just now? Going for a drive? Say more, I’ve never experienced it. Love listening to it.”

“…”

Liu Tiange silently reached out, stuffing the car key into his pocket. The words “crappy Volkswagen” were still ringing in his head.
