Chapter 187: Chapter 187 She’s Playing You Chapter 187: Chapter 187 She’s Playing You Zhou Huaiyu raised his eyebrows and said, “What else could it be? They say the horizontal fears the upright, and the upright fear those who are reckless. That girl isn’t too smart. She might not care and could end up hurting you.”
“Got it!” Shen Zhaozhao nodded.
As long as it wasn’t using power to oppress.
Zhou Huaiyu then glanced at Sheng Chuyi behind him and said, “But you don’t need to worry too much. Although that girl is crazy, she bullies people openly, not behind their backs. Try to stay close to Brother Yi usually. I think she might restrain herself a bit in front of him.”
If it hadn’t been for a certain person, she wouldn’t have been targeted.
Why did she feel that staying away from that person was the safest and most secure method?
That girl’s expression was so obvious that everyone understood at a glance.
They all cast meaningful glances toward Sheng Chuyi’s direction.
Sheng Chuyi, who also understood the subtext of her facial expression, couldn’t help but look a little displeased.
But undeniably, this trouble was indeed brought to her by himself.
Thinking this, his handsome brows furrowed for a moment, and then he changed the subject, saying, “What should we have?”
“I heard there’s a new spicy pot restaurant on the second floor of the cafeteria. The base is both numbing and fresh; it’s incredibly tasty. Should we go?” The moment she mentioned food, Shen Zhaozhao immediately revived her spirits.
Ever since transferring to Jiu Middle School, the happiest thing for Shen Zhaozhao had been the cafeteria here. There were Chinese meals, Western meals, and even specialty restaurants. At this place, you could eat something different every day, and the chefs made delicious meals. The only downside was that everything was expensive.
“Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go…” A group of people headed toward the second floor.
Shen Zhaozhao looked at the menu board, unsure what to choose for some time.
When everyone else had finished ordering and saw that she was still indecisive, Sheng Chuyi, who was standing behind her, asked, “What’s wrong?”
Shen Zhaozhao looked troubled: “What if I want to eat both?”
Zhou Huaiyu, who had already placed his order, turned his head and said, “What’s so difficult about that? You and Brother Yi can each order a pot and eat together.”
Shen Zhaozhao’s eyes lit up, and she raised her head to look at Sheng Chuyi.
Sheng Chuyi: “Which flavors?”
Shen Zhaozhao said hastily, “Sichuan peppercorn and spicy.”
Sheng Chuyi then went to place the order.
Zhou Huaiyu glanced in Sheng Chuyi’s direction, and, winking at Shen Zhaozhao, said, “I’ve noticed that ever since you came, Brother Yi’s tastes have changed. He never eats these things when he’s with us.”
Sheng Chuyi had a preference for light flavors, but Shen Zhaozhao liked strong tastes. Most of the time when they ate together, it was Sheng Chuyi who accommodated Shen Zhaozhao.
Consequently, Shen Zhaozhao had grown accustomed to it and was only reminded by Zhou Huaiyu’s comment. Seeing Sheng Chuyi coming over after ordering, she couldn’t help but say, “Actually, you can order what you like. You don’t have to accommodate me.”
Sheng Chuyi: “It’s okay, it’s all the same to me.” He didn’t place much importance on the pleasures of the palate; to him, food was simply about filling the stomach.
After finishing their meal, the group went to buy drinks.
They happened to bump into Ye Zhen and her group.
Ye Zhen couldn’t help but show delight upon seeing Sheng Chuyi by her side. Before she could approach, she saw Shen Zhaozhao next to him and her face instantly turned sour, saying, “Didn’t you promise you would stay away from him?”
Shen Zhaozhao: “What if I say, it was just a coincidence, would you believe me?”
Ye Zhen frowned. Did she look that easy to deceive?
“Sister Zhen, she’s playing you,” a girl beside her stirred the pot.
Shen Zhaozhao: “I’m not, I didn’t, don’t wrong me.” Hmm, played indeed, but she wouldn’t admit it.
