Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!

Chapter 263 - 158: Inevitable Headiness_3

The evening breeze was slightly cool.

Zhou Yuwen leisurely walked through the campus with a group of schoolgirls, who, hand-in-hand under the dim street lights, chatted primarily about Zheng Yanyan with a sisterly affection.

Praising Zheng Yanyan for her beauty, her excellent dance skills, and her handsome boyfriend.

It was all thanks to Sister Yanyan’s good dancing that we won this time!

Zheng Yanyan, flattered by their compliments, modestly claimed that they all danced well too.

Tao Tian, being a sophomore, maintained a certain aloofness and did not hang out with the underclassmen, instead walking at the back with Zhou Yuwen.

Tao Tian said, "It must be nice to be your girlfriend, if she could always be your girlfriend, I bet she’d become the next Arts Department head."

Zhou Yuwen replied, "The way you put it, it’s as though if she isn’t my girlfriend, she wouldn’t be the department head."

Tao Tian chuckled disappointingly, "Sigh, just now you mentioned treating me to barbecue, I thought it would be just me."

Zhou Yuwen said, it’s not impossible, but maybe another day.

"Then I’m holding you to that."

Zhou Yuwen replied, go ahead and do just that.

"Are you folks going to the expo tomorrow?"

"Yes, for three consecutive days,"

The two of them discussed some work matters, while the schoolgirls finished flattering Zheng Yanyan and began to form small groups. Zheng Yanyan, noticing Zhou Yuwen and Tao Tian chatting behind them, urged Zhou Yuwen to catch up.

Zhou Yuwen said, "Just go ahead."

Zheng Yanyan, linking arms with Lu Lin, waited at the front for Zhou Yuwen.

The two of them, being close best friends, usually shared everything with each other, and, indeed, after the evening’s events, Zheng Yanyan had quite a bit to vent about to Lu Lin.

Moreover, she didn’t want Zhou Yuwen hearing those complaints.

So on their way to the barbecue place, Zheng Yanyan engaged Lu Lin in a private conversation throughout.

Lu Lin could only listen, seldom sharing her own thoughts.

Tao Tian, however, stayed close to Zhou Yuwen.

But Zhou Yuwen, engrossed with his mobile phone, responded absentmindedly to whatever Tao Tian said.

It was just after nine when Liu Shuo’s second shift of temporary workers came to an end.

They also did security work, earning 110 yuan a day, and it included a meal.

At nine o’clock, when Liu Shuo and his team returned to the school, Zhao Jun personally handed Liu Shuo a thousand yuan, apologizing because they were so busy they ended two hours late, even though they had agreed to end at seven.

Liu Shuo asked if he should accept the money.

Zhou Yuwen said, if it’s given to you, just take it.

"Spend it on treating the guys to a barbecue or something, just handle it yourself, no need to ask me about everything."

"Oh alright, sure Brother Zhou (grits teeth)"

By this time, they had arrived at the barbecue place. It seemed rather quiet, probably due to the weather cooling off; there were hardly any people outside, and only a few tables occupied inside.

During the summer, this barbecue joint would be overwhelmed with customers, bustling inside and with tables and benches haphazardly set up outside, all occupied.

Zhou Yuwen took the girls inside and chose a table by the window to sit down at.

Zheng Yanyan asked, "Hubby, what shall we order?"

"You decide, it’s your treat today."

Zhou Yuwen treating the girls from the Arts Department to dinner was a gesture to give Zheng Yanyan face, making up for the fact that she had given her first time to Zhou Yuwen.

This gesture, as Tao Tian had mentioned, would certainly help make Zheng Yanyan the next head of the Arts Department.

Zheng Yanyan was thrilled, yet she couldn’t resist peeking over and asking, "Who are you chatting with? Always glued to your phone!"

Zhou Yuwen didn’t dodge; he let Zheng Yanyan see, saying, "Liu Shuo, he just finished work and we’re catching up."

"All you do is chat with this Liu Shuo, it feels like you’re closer with him than with me," pouted Zheng Yanyan.

Zhou Yuwen, wrapping his arms around Zheng Yanyan’s petite waist, said, "Don’t talk nonsense, my relationship with you is much deeper than with him."

"Hmph~"

Zheng Yanyan just wanted to hear Zhou Yuwen utter sweet nothings.

She sat on Zhou Yuwen’s lap, cuddling up to him for a while, and then mentioned that Tao Tian had met this good brother of his, yet she hadn’t.

Zhou Yuwen wondered what was there to meet about?

"And I’m your girlfriend, you’re not introducing your friend to me?"

"When two people are dating, why do they always like to drag others into it..." Zhou Yuwen was speechless.

Zheng Yanyan pouted on the side, saying that Zhou Yuwen always seemed ready to dump her.

What a jerk!

Zhou Yuwen helplessly said, "If that’s what you think, there’s nothing I can do."

"Hmph!"

Zheng Yanyan was just jesting and wasn’t really angry. She bantered briefly with Zhou Yuwen before heading with the other girls to order some food.

Zhou Yuwen asked Liu Shuo about the thing they discussed in the afternoon, had he asked?

Liu Shuo said he had.

"Brother Zhou, you suddenly need two hundred people for courier sorting, do you think there’ll really be that many packages to sort in November?"

"Yeah, two hundred is the minimum, of course the more the merrier."

"After we split this afternoon, I had a few guys go ask around, and they could find around fifty or sixty, I’ll ask more over the next few days."

"Okay."

"You guys haven’t eaten yet, right?"

"Yeah, we’re currently heading back to school by car. I wanted to treat them to barbecue, but a few places were either closed or too crowded."

Zhou Yuwen said, "There’s a barbecue spot near my school’s gate, not many people there, I’m here with my girlfriend, why not come over?"

"Holy shit, Brother Zhou, you have a girlfriend!?"

Zhou Yuwen, exasperated, said, "That’s why don’t you go calling every girl you meet ’sister-in-law’!"
