"No boyfriend." Lu Xingzhi held a teacup and took a sip of water. Under the strange gazes of the other three girls and Xue Bei’s relaxed state, she said, "I have a fiancé."
"Fiancé?" Xue Bei almost choked on his own saliva. "How old are you to have a fiancé already?"
Lu Xingzhi: "Eighteen, had him since before I was born."
Who’s really asking you about this? Why are you answering so seriously?
"That’s nice." Xue Bei could only say this. What else could he say, something like, in this day and age, there still are such betrothals?
After hearing Lu Xingzhi has a fiancé, Luo Qingchen felt a bit disappointed.
But he didn’t think much of it, he hadn’t said he wanted to date her or anything. Lu Xingzhi is very beautiful, he admits it. She has a distinctive look, her own uniqueness, and a very pure temperament.
Sweet but not cloying, alluring but not seductive.
He felt that Lu Xingzhi didn’t seem to care much about anything, including talking about her fiancé, as if she was just stating a fact.
Is it indifference towards the fiancé, or simply a cold nature?
The group had a meal together, when it was over, and the girls were about to pay, Xue Bei smiled and said, "No need, your Senior Qingchen already paid."
"Then... Senior Qingchen, how much was it in total, let us pay you." Liu Bailu said timidly.
"No need." Luo Qingchen said coldly.
"But..." Liu Bailu still wanted to say something, but she was interrupted by Xue Bei.
"No buts, Junior Sister Bailu, how could we let such cute junior sisters pay! We are guys, next time we’ll dine together again." Xue Bei thought there was a reason Luo Qingchen didn’t have a girlfriend.
He had to say it as if the girls owed him if they didn’t pay?
"Treating girls to a meal is gentlemanly behavior. If you pay, we won’t be able to hold our heads high in the future. Do you want Qingchen and me to feel awkward about this for the rest of our lives?"
Hearing this, the girls naturally felt it inappropriate to insist on paying.
"If you don’t let us pay, we’ll feel we got a free ride. We’ll be awkward for life too." Lu Xingzhi raised her eyes, cast a charming glance, and spoke sweetly and softly, "That would be selfish, not the behavior of a true gentleman."
"Little Zhi Liao, when you speak, you leave me speechless. You’re born to counter me!" Xue Bei felt that his mouth was usually unmatched in charm.
Today, Lu Xingzhi had defeated him.
"Should I apologize?" Lu Xingzhi said.
"Senior, Little Zhi Liao is right. We won’t feel good about it." Ke Yanchu also chimed in.
"How about this, after your military training, invite us to dinner? Is that okay?" Xue Bei was indeed quite a gentleman with the girls.
Especially with pretty girls.
"Let’s do that. After our military training, we’ll treat you to dinner." Ke Yanchu readily agreed.
Such a handsome senior, having more opportunities to interact is a good thing.
Having settled this, the group left together.
Watching them leave, Xue Bei said, "Ah! What a pity, such a beautiful girl, how does she have a fiancé already! But having a fiancé doesn’t matter, it’s not like she’s married. Right?"
