Chapter 15 No WeChat? Why didn’t you say you didn’t have a phone?
“This world and these people are just like that, they love to joke around.”
Chen Yuan explained to Cu as he got out of the car with her at their destination.
Cu nodded; she was happy to hear the driver’s words, but Chen Yuan’s reaction made her a bit discouraged.
It seemed… the teacher still regarded her as a little girl…
Even though this wasn’t the original world anymore.
Upon arriving at University Town, most of the people shopping here were university students.
Although the freshmen hadn’t officially started school yet, the upperclassmen had already been attending classes for a week.
This time was also when people came out to eat.
Walking down the street, just with Cu’s striking white hair, she had already attracted too many gazes…
Plus her stunning looks and figure…
Chen Yuan seemed to realize this as well; after all, that white hair was a bit too eye-catching.
Although college advocates freedom, and no one cares if you dye your hair yellow, green, or purple, students should still maintain a student-like appearance.
With Cu’s looks, even if she dyed her hair black, it should still look good and not affect anything.
Chen Yuan was contemplating whether to take Cu to dye her hair, when immediately a thick-skinned guy approached asking for her WeChat.
Hey, wait a second? I’m still here?!
As expected, the guys claiming they were too shy to ask for WeChat were all just putting on a front; the main reason was simply not enough looks. When faced with someone particularly attractive, even if there’s a goalie, they’d still take a shot!
Cu evidently didn’t know what WeChat was, but looking at the behavior of these boys, she could roughly guess what it meant.
During her time as a queen when she secretly visited the common folk, she had also encountered being approached by strangers asking for her gloves…
She generously gave the man her gloves, only to see him endlessly kissing them…
So, facing this situation again, she felt both nervous and disgusted, coldly responding to the few boys who approached, “No.”
After saying that, she glanced at Chen Yuan, as if to ask: is this how I should act? This shouldn’t pose a problem, right?
Seeing this, Chen Yuan reached out and gently patted her head: “It seems you’ve already learned quite a bit about some common practices in this world.”
In his view, Cu clearly wasn’t encountering this situation for the first time, which was why she handled it so decisively.
He intentionally patted Cu’s head, and this affectionate action directly dispelled the thoughts of the boys who were still preparing to approach.
The rejected boys, realizing, complained: No WeChat? Why didn’t you say you didn’t have a phone? If you won’t give it, just say so! No need to be so heartless! Boohoo…
Cu felt happy being patted by Chen Yuan, her mood was up!
Being patted on the head by the teacher again…
She just wanted to return to such days, and now she had finally achieved that, so she was thoroughly enjoying it.
After passing through the dense crowd and various fragrant restaurants, Cu finally followed Chen Yuan up to the second floor, arriving at a self-service barbecue restaurant.
Cu inhaled the aroma inside, swallowing her saliva.
After being hungry for several days and having only had some porridge that morning, her stomach had already rumbled past the restaurants…
“We have to eat back what we’ve lost!” Chen Yuan teased, seeing the gleam in her eyes.
“Okay!”
The waiters were busy, as the restaurant always had an extremely good business.
“Table for two?”
Chen Yuan: “Yes.”
“Alright, over here please.” The waiter said.
Then the two were led to their seats, where the waiter set their utensils and laid out oil paper.
After that, a waiter placed coal under the grill.
Once all this was done, the waiter backed away.
“Let’s go, we need to get the ingredients.” Chen Yuan said.
Cu didn’t understand these steps and closely followed Chen Yuan.
With so many people around, if Chen Yuan ran off, she wouldn’t find him.
Arriving at the ingredients cabinet, it was filled with all kinds of fresh produce.
Chen Yuan handed her a large basket and took one for himself.
Then he immediately began scooping all kinds of beef, pork, and lamb into the basket.
Watching Chen Yuan place all the fresh beef in front of him into the basket, Cu was slightly taken aback.
Is this how it’s done?
In her surprise, she also reached out to grab a plate of what looked like decent hot dogs.
However, as soon as she picked it up, the chef preparing the ingredients immediately filled the empty space she left behind.
When she looked up: “Oh…”
So amazing…
It actually refills automatically…
She then tried to grab a plate of some unidentified meatballs that only had one left in the tray, curious to see how it would refill.
After waiting for a long time, the refill still didn’t happen.
Could it be that just by looking at it, it wouldn’t refill?!
Well then, I won’t look.
She averted her gaze.
Chen Yuan was by her side, and his basket was already nearly full. He approached Cu, just in time to see her battling with the air.
“What’s wrong?” Chen Yuan looked into her basket, which only had one plate of hot dogs and one plate of fish balls, “Don’t you want to eat anything else?”
“How amazing… Teacher…” Cu’s clear eyes sparkled as she exclaimed, “How does it automatically refill?”
“Huh? Automatically refill?” Chen Yuan looked at the supply cabinet, vaguely understanding that the chef inside was busy to the point of being rushed.
You just brushed past the automatic refill part?
“I just took one hot dog, and immediately a second one appeared, but when I took the meatballs, nothing came out.”
“…” Chen Yuan pressed his lips together, “There are people in there. As soon as you take one, they’ll refill it.”
As he spoke, Chen Yuan pointed to the other side of the opening, clearly showing a hand reaching out from it to place a stack of beef.
“Then why doesn’t this one…” Cu, like a curious child, felt satisfied but continued to ask foolishly.
“This one is probably still being prepared.”
“Oh…”
“Let’s go eat for now.” Chen Yuan didn’t ask her to keep grabbing.
He already had enough, would see what she liked to eat and then grab a bit more for her.
“Okay.”
Cu followed Chen Yuan, carrying a basket that only had two types of ingredients in it.
Back at the table, Chen Yuan placed her hot dogs and fish balls on the grill first, then put his beef and other items down.
Next, he began preparing the dipping sauce.
Chen Yuan preferred dry sauce, so he scooped out some chili powder, pepper, and crushed sesame seeds.
Cu followed suit, mimicking him, but each time she scooped, she had to smell the aroma first.
After preparing, Chen Yuan adjusted one oil dip.
This one was for her.
He would see which one she liked and then let her eat it.
After everything was ready, they just waited for the meat to cook.
Chen Yuan sprayed oil on the grill and turned the meat over.
Cu’s eyes were glued to the grill, her gaze shifting between Chen Yuan and the grilling meat.
Perhaps in her heart, she was praising herself for being amazing, Chen Yuan thought proudly.
The teacher knows so much…
Cu indeed thought so.
Meanwhile, as the two were grilling meat, someone elsewhere had already taken their photo.
“Who is that girl? Is she from our school?”
Liu Nan and Zhou Chengcheng happened to be having lunch at this barbecue restaurant. After being busy for a long time, Zhou Chengcheng generously treated Liu Nan as a thank you for her help.
“I don’t know. If she were from our school, it would be impossible for us not to know; just her hair is so eye-catching.” Zhou Chengcheng said confidently.
Then she asked, “Should we send this to Yu Enqi to let her know?”
“Better not. Isn’t it good? Chen Yuan has finally seen the light; you also think it’s sad for him to be with Yu Enqi.”
“No, I mean to make Yu Enqi feel uncomfortable.” Zhou Chengcheng said with her clear eyes showing her dark side.
“Let her see that a prettier girl is getting close to Chen Yuan, wouldn’t that be worse than eating a bitter pill?”
Liu Nan was taken aback; she hadn’t expected Zhou Chengcheng to be so wicked: “I thought you were going to be all benevolent…”
“She and Li Ailin gossip about Chen Yuan all day behind his back. Chen Yuan treats her so well, and I can’t stand it. I even kindly advised her a couple of times, but she distanced herself from me. I’ve long viewed her unfavorably…”
Zhou Chengcheng bit into a piece of grilled meat, gritting her teeth as she said.
Though Zhou Chengcheng was kind-hearted, she was also a champion of justice.
Liu Nan had seen Yu Enqi looking upset that morning, probably related to this matter. She also liked to watch the excitement, especially scenes like this that brought satisfaction.
“Alright… then go ahead and send it.”
