Li Yuqi didn’t want to get too entangled with him in front of others, so she reluctantly nodded her consent.

Zhou Dong helped Wu Xiaoyu place the two suitcases on the tricycle, and then started observing Li Yuqi.

He had been classmates with this girl for three years but had never really understood her.

This girl wrapped herself up too tightly, practically all armed up, afraid that others would see through her and then hurt her.

In the past, Zhou Dong thought she was just insecure, but today, seeing her so distant and cold to both Wu Xiaoyu and her own sister, it seemed rather heartless.

After walking for a while, Wu Xiaoyu noticed the heels Li Yuqi was wearing were really high.

Worried that she might have trouble walking, he said, “Yuqi, how about I give you a ride?”

Li Yuqi glanced at the crowd around them, then at the tricycle, frowned slightly, and said, “I’ve been sitting for so long, my whole body feels uncomfortable.

I’ll just walk for a bit!”

Hearing this, Wu Xiaoyu didn’t push further.

Li Yujia had to hold onto her, fearing she might trip again.

Zhou Dong whispered into Wu Xiaoyu’s ear, “Xiaoyu, there’s something I’m not sure if I should say…”

Wu Xiaoyu noticed his rare seriousness, composed his expression and said, “What is it?

Just say it, don’t beat around the bush!”

“You and Li Yuqi…

are you sure you’re in a relationship?” Zhou Dong asked hesitantly.

Wu Xiaoyu was actually left speechless by Zhou Dong’s question!

Were he and Li Yuqi a couple?

In the second half of their second year, it seemed to be confirmed, but he suddenly dropped out of school and went to work in Guangdong Province, while Li Yuqi went to college.

Over the past year, their contact had significantly reduced, and every time they did communicate, they had little to say, ending the conversation quickly.

So…

did they still count as a couple?

But she never mentioned breaking up, they seemed to be still connected somehow.

In the silence, they arrived at the entrance of Juxian Inn.

Wu Xiaoyu stopped and said, “Let’s eat here!”

Hearing this, Li Yuqi looked up and saw the sign of Juxian Inn.

Although she hadn’t eaten out much in town, she knew this was the best restaurant in Longhe Town.

Wu Xiaoyu wants to eat here?

Li Yuqi felt a bit puzzled.

She had heard from her sister that Wu Xiaoyu had made over a hundred thousand yuan selling ginseng.

Just because he had made this bit of money, he was showing off like a nouveau riche, indulging in extravagant meals.

She thought he had no sense of the world.

Her opinion of Wu Xiaoyu dropped even lower.

A person like him could only eke out a living in Longhe Town, what future did he have!

When Li Yujia heard Wu Xiaoyu say they were eating at Juxian Inn, she immediately said, “Brother Xiaoyu, let’s go somewhere else!

I heard it’s quite expensive to eat here.”

“It’s fine, it’s on me, let’s go in!” Wu Xiaoyu parked the tricycle, carried down the two suitcases, and he and Zhou Dong each carried one into Juxian Inn.

Seeing him like this, Li Yuqi didn’t say anything more and pulled Li Yujia inside.

It was just after ten o’clock, so the restaurant was quite empty.

As soon as the four of them entered, a waiter came over and led them to a table by the window.

“What would you like to eat?” The waiter handed the menu over, asking respectfully.

Li Yujia opened the menu in front of her and was immediately shocked by the prices.

A bowl of noodles cost over thirty yuan?

As she flipped through a few more pages, she became even more stunned.

A simple moo shu pork dish cost over eighty yuan, and some dishes were priced in the hundreds, far beyond her expectations.

“Brother Xiaoyu, maybe…

we should go somewhere else!” Li Yujia said timidly.

Seeing this, Zhou Dong smiled and said, “Order whatever you like, since Wu Xiaoyu is treating.

It’s like we’re catching a big fish!”

Wu Xiaoyu didn’t comment and told the waiter, “We’ll have sautéed fish fillets, fresh shrimp balls, first-rank tofu, quick-fried mixed tripe, and a vegetable soup.”

After ordering, he turned to Li Yuqi and the others and said, “Order whatever else you want, don’t be shy!”

While Wu Xiaoyu was ordering, Li Yuqi had checked the prices of those dishes.

Four dishes and a soup would cost over six hundred yuan.

Was Wu Xiaoyu showing off?

How ridiculous!

“Just a bowl of rice for me…” Li Yuqi closed the menu and said.

Li Yujia, hearing this, timidly said, “I’ll have a bowl of rice too…”

Zhou Dong, seeing the look on their faces, knew the story of Wu Xiaoyu becoming wealthy was probably still unknown.

“Scrambled eggs with shrimp, carrot-braised lamb chops…”

Zhou Dong took the opportunity to order a few more expensive dishes and secretly glanced at Li Yuqi, but she didn’t seem to care at all.

However, Li Yujia quickly reopened the menu to find those dishes and then looked worried.

While waiting for the food, Wu Xiaoyu asked Li Yuqi, “How’s it going at university?

Are you busy?”

Li Yuqi responded perfunctorily, “It’s alright!

The coursework is quite intense, no free time at all!”

“Have you made any new friends?” As soon as Wu Xiaoyu said this, he regretted it.

It seemed a bit inappropriate and too intrusive.

Indeed, upon hearing this, Li Yuqi’s expression changed slightly, her eyes dodged, and she didn’t answer, instead taking a sip of water.

Zhou Dong, seeing her series of actions, knew his buddy was probably doomed.

To avoid awkwardness, he interjected:

“Sigh!

I have no fate with university life.

Took the college entrance exam twice and still couldn’t get into even a third-rate school, it’s really embarrassing!”

Li Yuqi cooperatively changed the subject, smiling, “What’s so great about university?

It’s just a few more years of studying.”

“…”

As they spoke, the dishes were gradually served.

Li Yuqi looked at the food on the table and thought, “Hmph!

Just because you made a hundred thousand, you’re being so extravagant.

You really don’t know your place!”

In her view, Wu Xiaoyu’s windfall could indeed lead an enviable life in the village, but in the big city, in the Provincial City, it was nothing.

Inviting her to such an expensive meal, was he trying to show off and make her think highly of him, and then be devoted to him?

What a frog in the well, an insect that cannot discuss ice!

In just one short year, their values and behaviors had undergone drastic changes.

Li Yuqi saw herself as having entered the ivory tower, witnessing the world’s splendors, her simplicity and diligence dissipating, replaced by the desire to rise with the powerful.

Wu Xiaoyu had changed from his former dullness and confusion, now bolstered by a fortunate encounter, turning everything he touched into gold.

Wealth, to him, was merely a matter of choice.

A simple meal like this, in Li Yuqi’s eyes, was Wu Xiaoyu putting on a show, but to Wu Xiaoyu, it was just an ordinary meal.
