Chu Mengyao, Zhao Shiyan, Lu Xiangxiang, and Liu Shangxiang, the four girls are famously known as the four beauties within their circle.
At this moment, including the four girls, along with Chu Biyao, Shen Yahut, and Zhang Lu, seven stunning beauties were surrounding Ye Fan, making the men who witnessed this scene feel envious, although they hid their feelings well and didn’t show it.
What a joke, letting them openly express their envy towards Ye Fan would just damage their pride.
Whether it was the men or the women, the way they secretly looked at Ye Fan was filled with complex emotions.
They thought, who the heck is this guy, and why is he so popular?
"Ye Fan, come on, let’s go have a bite to eat over there, let the sisters have some girl talk," Chu Biyao said casually.
"Sure," Ye Fan agreed, then walked away with Chu Biyao, Shen Yahut, and Zhang Lu.
Chu Mengyao and the other three girls found a place to sit down. From start to finish, Zhao Shiyan was very amiable, hiding her thoughts deeply without showing any unusual expression.
Actually, Zhao Shiyan really wanted to chat with Ye Fan for a while, even if just to exchange some pleasantries.
How could Zhao Shiyan not understand Chu Biyao’s intentions? She didn’t want Zhao Shiyan clinging to Ye Fan.
At this moment, she couldn’t just follow them along, as Chu Mengyao and the other two were there too, it wouldn’t be appropriate to just tag along with Ye Fan.
Neither Chu Mengyao nor Zhao Shiyan mentioned Zhao Shiyan’s claim that Ye Fan was her boyfriend, to avoid damaging relationships, the matter could only be kept in their hearts.
"What is going on with you guys? When did you meet such an oddball?" Liu Shangxiang amusingly stared at Chu Mengyao, implying Ye Fan with her words.
"What do you mean, don’t overthink it," Chu Mengyao said casually.
Lu Xiangxiang frowned, displeased, "That lousy man is not just peculiar, but also a pervert, isn’t he?"
Her words made both Chu Mengyao and Zhao Shiyan feel discontent to varying degrees in their hearts. Chu Mengyao bluntly said, "You’re just being contradictory. You want to ask for a favor but can’t open your mouth, so you just criticize him with your words."
"You defend him all you want. Anyway, I don’t think highly of him, even if his medical skills are better than mine," Lu Xiangxiang said strangely.
"He knows medical skills?" Zhao Shiyan seemed to have discovered a secret that only she knew, filled with astonishment.
"Judging by Xiangxiang’s tone, it seems his medical skills are quite profound, otherwise, Xiangxiang wouldn’t show such a hesitant look, as Mengyao said he’s probably too embarrassed to ask for a favor," Liu Shangxiang said, growing more curious.
The three girls knew Lu Xiangxiang well. She was interested in medical skills, and only those with profound knowledge in this area could get her slight approval. Otherwise, in her eyes, no man was any good.
"Pervert, what did he do to you?" Liu Shangxiang asked, puzzled, drawing the topic back to Lu Xiangxiang’s criticism of Ye Fan.
"It’s well-known that I’m interested in medical skills, right? That lousy man, as Mengyao’s friend, should’ve tried to win me over and taught me everything he knows about medical skills. But no, he knows about my interest yet says nothing, greeting me with a cold stare, he’s really an unpleasant person," Lu Xiangxiang said indignantly.
"Sorry, Ye Fan has no interest in your hobbies, so he doesn’t know about your almost obsessive love for medical skills," Chu Mengyao said weakly.
Lu Xiangxiang immediately widened her eyes, "Mengyao, how can you be ? It’s your duty to persuade him to help me. Now you didn’t persuade him and didn’t even tell him such an important thing. Do you think he’s going to figure it out himself? If he doesn’t come to help me willingly, isn’t it a lost cause?"
"It’s unlikely he’d help you willingly, I think even if you begged him, he might not help you," Chu Mengyao said mysteriously, "Think about how unpleasant your first meeting with Ye Fan was, you know it yourself."
"What? Could it be that he holds grudges? My stomach almost turned, and I didn’t even care about it," Lu Xiangxiang got even angrier, grumbling about the small-minded man.
"Threw up, what happened?" Zhao Shiyan and Liu Shangxiang got interested.
Just as Chu Mengyao was about to explain, Lu Xiangxiang interrupted, "Don’t tell embarrassing stories."
Then she glared at the other two, "Stop being so nosy, can’t you be normal?"
Suppressing their curiosity, Liu Shangxiang and Zhao Shiyan didn’t ask further. To maintain normalcy for Lu Xiangxiang, the two kept quiet, knowing among the four, Lu Xiangxiang was the one who truly stood out as unconventional.
"Mengyao, I don’t think Xiangxiang has any good feelings towards any man. You should persuade Ye Fan to teach Xiangxiang some medical skills. Maybe Ye Fan could be the first man Xiangxiang doesn’t dislike," Liu Shangxiang suggested.
"Exactly, given Xiangxiang’s character, it’s rare for her to ask a man for something. Since we’ll all be interacting in the future, if you can help with this, you should help Xiangxiang," Zhao Shiyan chimed in.
Chu Mengyao said helplessly, "This has nothing to do with me. Whatever he wants to do, I can’t decide."
"How can that be?" Zhao Shiyan didn’t believe it, but inwardly she was rather pleased. If that were true, it meant Ye Fan’s relationship with Chu Mengyao wasn’t that close, giving her a chance. What she didn’t know was that Chu Mengyao just didn’t want to make Ye Fan do something he didn’t like, even if it was for Lu Xiangxiang’s sake.
Liu Shangxiang changed the subject, "What exactly does Ye Fan do? Why are you suddenly so close to him?"
This question was quite tricky to answer. Chu Mengyao pondered for a moment and then said seriously, "I knew him since we were kids, you could say we are childhood friends. As for what he does, it’s none of your concern. He’s temporarily my advisor."
She occasionally cast sidelong glances at Ye Fan within her field of vision, maintaining his image as much as possible.
"Childhood sweethearts?" Liu Shangxiang’s eyes widened.
"Don’t go linking it to romance, okay?" Chu Mengyao shook her head helplessly.
Lu Xiangxiang made things clear, "Let me analyze the current situation for you. Mengyao, you live with Ye Fan, and Shiyan, you claim Ye Fan as your boyfriend. Which one of you is actually interested in that lousy man?"
"Boyfriend, what boyfriend? That’s nonsense," Zhao Shiyan said innocently.
"Xiangxiang, your mouth can’t spit ivory. I get it, how can you say I live with Ye Fan? Can you think before you speak?" Chu Mengyao said powerlessly.
"Do you think I can’t hear you’re calling me a dog? You’re the dog," Lu Xiangxiang rolled her eyes at Chu Mengyao, admonishing, "I think you’re just guilty, living in the same villa is living together, right? Why are you so eager to explain? Explanation is just covering the truth, don’t you know?"
"..." Chu Mengyao was speechless with embarrassment.
