“This is a good thing. Why would you hide it from me? I won’t blabber about it or mock you,” Liu Man said, amused, “Jiang Chengfeng is just more introverted; he’s great in all other aspects. He is decent looking, fairly tall, and is a top student at Capital University. He compliments you very well.”

Li Xiaoru rolled her eyes, “Don’t you want to ask me why I like him?”

Liu Man felt nosy, she looked at her, “Can I ask now?”

Li Xiaoru: “……”

“In school, as long as I’m with you or Wang Nina, none of the boys ever give me attention. I know it’s because I am not as attractive.

Small concerts are held regularly in our major. It is obvious that I am more skilled than most people, but the teacher will always choose those beautiful girls to do solo performances. They completely treat me like an invisible person and ignore my achievements. I would be lying if I say I don’t care at all about how I am treated.

Last Thursday, we returned backstage. Your boyfriend was worried about the injury on your hand and hurriedly took you away for treatment. Which, I can understand. After you guys left, it was Jiang Chengfeng who sent me back to our dorms. He was considerate and brought me my coat. “

In art schools, good-looking girls had many suitors. Most of those men spent money like dirt, driving luxury cars, giving flowers, perfumes, and bags, in an exaggerated posture asking for courtship.

Li Xiaoru didn’t fall for that kind of stuff. It was not that she was salty; she just thought that those men are very fake. She thought that the ideal love should be two people spending their ordinary days together. Only the two people actually in the relationship needed to know about their love for each other. There was no need to be so blatant in fear that others wouldn’t know all about it.

Jiang Chengfeng made her feel real.

He did not have much money, nor was he great with words; however, he used practical actions and made her see this simple young man with sincerity in his heart.

She saw how he liked her though his shy expression and clear eyes.

But why, in Princess Man’s live-stream room last night, was he flirting with Peach! Calling her a ‘sis’ in a playful way! Yes, Li Xiaoru also went to the live-stream room to watch Liu Man’s live-stream last night. She watched silently without any interaction. She saw with her own eyes how affectionate the conversations between Jiang Chengfeng and Peach were.

Li Xiaoru became angrier and angrier as she continued to think about it. She was so angry that she tossed all night in bed and barely slept.

“Are you jealous?”

“No!” Li Xiaoru firmly denied.

Liu Man smiled, “You are jealous.”

Seeing that Li Xiaoru’s mouth was pouting enough to hang a pot, Liu Man stopped teasing her, “Have you not seen the video of the latest episode of “Happy Guo Guo”? Jiang Chengfeng is a new member.”

“I saw his name at the end of the video. What does this have to do with what I said?” Li Xiaoru was still mad.

“Have you noticed the name of the member in charge of filming? She is also a newcomer, Tao Zhiyao. She is Peach.”

Li Xiaoru widened her eyes, surprised.

“When Jiang Chengfeng and Sis Peach met in private, there were more than the two of them around. I was there, and so were several other students from Capital University. We went to work. Sis Peach is a senior at Jinghua University. She is about to graduate, so Jiang Chengfeng calls her Sis.”

Li Xiaoru’s anger disappeared all at once.

“Oh, so that’s what happened,” she said, her face a little unnatural, “Huh, that makes it much more clear.”

The look on Li Xiaoru’s face caused Liu Man to giggle.

“Not angry anymore?”

“Yeah,” Li Xiaoru’s mind was sharp, and she thought of a question that gave her chills. She stared at Liu Man and said, “‘The Happy Guo Guo’ team only has a total of six people. Now two of them are your friends. According to this trend, are you preparing to take the ‘Happy Guo Guo’ for your own? It would be a piece of cake.”

Liu Man really didn’t have such insidious thoughts, but after Li Xiaoru’s reminder, she realized that she really seemed to have inserted her friends in the “Happy Guo Guo” team.

“No, the screenwriter of “Happy Guo Guo” is my old childhood friend. My parents have a very good relationship with her parents. I went to film “Shi-Senpai” to help her.

Recently, their team was in a conflict. Two people quit and they lacked manpower. That’s why I introduced Jiang Chengfeng and Tao Zhiyao to join. You have watched way too many drama shows! My intentions aren’t that complicated.”

Li Xiaoru didn’t think so. Now, it turned out there was another person in “Happy Guo Guo” who was Liu Man’s friend, making the ratio three to three. That was interesting, she felt that “Happy Guo Guo” would be controlled by Liu Man sooner or later.

“Since you are interested in Jiang Chengfeng, let’s find a time and invite him to dinner,” Liu Man suddenly remembered that Yu Zhan said that he would invite Li Xiaoru and Wen Fangfei to dinner. But because of Wen Fangfei’s quitting and her finger injury, they never officially scheduled the dinner, “I will invite Tao Zhiyao. I’m sure you will like her. “

It just so happened to be a day off in Yu Zhan’s clinic. Liu Man decided to invite everyone to dinner tonight. She first called Yu Zhan to ask him.

Yu Zhan certainly didn’t mind.

“You make a reservation, and I will pick you and your friends up.”

Liu Man called Tao Zhiyao again to ask if Tao Zhiyao was free. Tao Zhiyao said, “I’m bored out of my mind, so of course, I have time. Just send me the address and I will ask my driver to drive me there.”

Liu Man contacted Jiang Chengfeng next. When Jiang Chengfeng heard that Li Xiaoru would be there, he excitedly promised, “You bet I will be there. I am most definitely free! Even if I am not free, then I would still make time! Give me the restaurant’s address, and I will take a taxi.”

When it was time, Yu Zhan came to pick up Liu Man and Li Xiaoru. Li Xiaoru greeted Yu Zhan happily, “Mr. Handsome, after not seeing you in a few days, you became even more handsome.”

“Your face is ruddy. Are there exciting news? Better share it with us,” Yu Zhan smiled.

How could Li Xiaoru have told Liu Man’s boyfriend that she liked Jiang Chengfeng? That would be weird.

Liu Man said it for her,

“The person she likes is eating with us tonight.”

That was indeed a good thing, so Yu Zhan decided that later he would take a good look at that boy and see if he was worthy of Man Man’s close friend.

Liu Man chose a Japanese cuisine restaurant on Yelp instead of the Ju Jiu Wu in front of their school.

This store was located downtown, which was not far from Capital University and Jinghua University. It was quite fancy, with a dedicated parking lot, which was convenient for Yu Zhan and Tao Zhiyao’s driver.
