Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!

Chapter 292 - 167: Lu Lin’s Boyfriend?

"No way, Brother Hao, we’ve been persuading you for a while and you didn’t budge, but the minute you heard Zhou Yuwen was bringing Zheng Yanyan, you agreed!?" Li Qiang exclaimed in shock.

"You’re talking nonsense, that’s not the reason." Chang Hao quickly denied.

Li Qiang pouted.

Chang Hao couldn’t be bothered to explain to Li Qiang and asked Gu Yaoyao what good movies there were for next Friday.

Gu Yaoyao picked up her phone and checked. There were quite a few movies worth watching in 2013, such as Pacific Rim, Iron Man 3, The Wind Rises, American Dreams in China, and The Great Gatsby.

Chang Hao asked which movie looked good to watch; Ma Tian and Li Jing wanted to see The Wind Rises, but Li Qiang, having heard it was an animated film, was a bit reluctant.

Then Gu Yaoyao coughed twice and said, "We also have to consider the cost of watching a movie."

The movie theater at school had a special price for students; most movies cost 9.9, but some were 12.9.

At the start of the school term, each person had contributed fifty yuan for class funds, from which twenty was spent on renting choir robes; now thirty remained.

Watching a movie would definitely involve more than just the movie; snacks are a must, and on average they’d be about fifteen yuan per person, so it was better to choose the movies costing 9.9.

Thus, the 12.9 movies like Iron Man and Pacific Rim were passed over.

Only The Wind Rises and The Great Gatsby, more artsy films, were left.

Li Qiang thought this movie was about billionaire Bill Gates’s life story, so he opted for that one.

Ma Tian and Li Jing were also uncertain about the movie and just said whatever.

Liu Yue asked if she could bring her boyfriend along.

"Bring him, Zhou Yuwen is bringing his girlfriend; if you want to bring someone, go ahead. I’ll get to see this boyfriend you’ve been praising to the skies," Li Qiang joked.

Liu Yue gave Li Qiang a disdainful look and said, "My boyfriend is way handsomer than you!"

"Hey!"

Chang Hao said it was okay to bring a boyfriend.

"But you’ll have to pay an extra ten yuan for the ticket."

Liu Yue suggested, "With the campus theater, you can just talk directly to the vendors; they might even let you rent the whole theatre."

Gu Yaoyao smiled and said, "Renting the whole place might be a bit much, but we could probably get a two yuan discount; however, considering other expenses, having you pay an extra ten yuan actually makes sense."

Liu Yue immediately looked displeased, glanced towards Zhou Yuwen and the others who were waiting for hotpot in the distance, and asked, "Does Zhou Yuwen have to pay ten yuan for his girlfriend too?"

Chang Hao said, "I paid Zhou Yuwen’s ten yuan; it’s not personal, anyone who brings a family member has to pay."

"Damn, Brother Hao, you’re no ordinary dude, paying for Zhou Yuwen to bring his girlfriend to the movies; I admire you!" Li Qiang genuinely gave a thumbs-up.

Chang Hao told him to cut the nonsense.

"I only did it because of Zhou Yuwen’s face."

"Oh, really?" Li Qiang, as if he saw through everything, suddenly grinned and said, "At the movie theater, when you see Zhou Yuwen and Zheng Yanyan kissing, thinking that you paid for Zheng Yanyan’s ticket, doesn’t it feel like you’re part of it?"

"Drop dead!" Chang Hao was momentarily stunned by the comment, then grabbed Li Qiang’s neck, while Li Qiang quickly begged for mercy, just kidding, just kidding.

Zhou Yuwen, holding hotpot, initially wanted to find another place to sit, but Zheng Yanyan intrusively sat down next to Gu Yaoyao.

The cafeteria seats were arranged with four on each side and three seats in the middle, accommodating twelve people.

Chang Hao, Li Qiang, and Lu Yuhang sat on the far left.

The four girls, including Gu Yaoyao, took the middle seats.

Zheng Yanyan, very much at ease, took the far right seat and actively joined the conversation: "Hey, decided what movie? I just checked, Iron Man is on next week."

"Yanyan, you want to see Iron Man? Brother Hao, did you hear that?" Li Qiang continued to tease Chang Hao.

Chang Hao told him to scram, then told Zheng Yanyan, "We’ve decided on The Great Gatsby."

"What’s that movie?" Zheng Yanyan was uninterested in artsy films.

Zhou Yuwen sat next to her and explained it was a Leonardo movie, pretty good.

"Leonardo’s all washed up, what’s there to see." Zheng Yanyan scoffed.

Lu Lin, holding hotpot, came to sit at the most external part of the table, just opposite Zhou Yuwen.

Zheng Yanyan felt the seating wasn’t good and asked Lu Lin to move next to her instead.

Lu Lin responded, "I won’t, it’s too cramped."

Indeed, if Lu Lin moved over, she would be sitting right next to Liu Yue.

It was odd. Previously, when Zheng Yanyan and Zhou Yuwen were together, Lu Lin would feel jealous, but it wasn’t very obvious. However, after being with Zhou Yuwen for a longer time, Lu Lin developed a possessive desire towards him; whenever she saw Zhou Yuwen and Zheng Yanyan getting cozy, she felt displeased with Zheng Yanyan.

It was just like now, seeing Zhou Yuwen and Zheng Yanyan enjoying hotpot together made her uncomfortable.

During the meal, Zheng Yanyan kept serving Zhou Yuwen, saying, "Honey, this tastes good."

"This tastes good too."

"I can serve myself."

"Heehee, I’ll try some of yours."

Zheng Yanyan was playfully happy, unable to stay calm even while eating, constantly switching beverages.

Lu Lin said, "Just eat, why all the drama?"

Zheng Yanyan replied, "Well, I’m happy my boyfriend’s back."

"Then why don’t you bring your boyfriend out to see! Heehee." Zheng Yanyan actually was quite eager to meet Lu Lin’s supposed boyfriend.

At that moment, with everyone there, Zheng Yanyan’s comment really stunned the others; Gu Yaoyao and Lu Lin had run into each other a couple of times in the student council and, hearing this, curiously asked, "You got a boyfriend?"

Lu Lin glared at Gu Yaoyao, not expecting Zheng Yanyan to be so loose-lipped, and could only acknowledge with a yes.
