Chapter 361: Offending a Woman Like That Is Scary
Huang Fei looked at Shen Meng Jie, who was wearing a swimsuit, and grinned foolishly. “Don’t worry about two meals, I’ll take ten if you want.”
Shen Meng Jie glanced at Huang Fei, unimpressed. “Silly, take Long Brother to get used to the place first, don’t be so reckless—you’ll choke yourself, and that’d be embarrassing.”
After she finished speaking, she jumped into the swimming pool. Her delicate fingers skimmed across the water surface, ripples spreading out in waves. Her soft waist swayed gently in the water, her perfect curves radiating an irresistible charm. Huang Fei couldn’t help but be captivated.
Suddenly, a slap! “Still looking? Hurry up and teach me!” Huang Fei exclaimed, eyes pleading. “If I get choked, you three will be responsible for all eternity!”
The training finally ended.
Shen Meng Jie gracefully stretched her body, water beads sliding down her slender curves, like a living masterpiece of flowing art. A peaceful scene until her eyes drifted to the four maniacs splashing around in the pool—she rolled her eyes helplessly.
“Hey, you four, stop playing! Change into your clothes and wait outside,” she called out.
Hearing her voice, the four still clowning in the pool swam towards the edge.
Huang Fei and the others enjoyed their fun, while Long Brother slowly made his way over.
“Got it. We’ll wait outside. No rush, dry your hair in the cold,” Huang Fei leaned on the pool edge, looking up at Shen Meng Jie with concern.
Recently, Shen Meng Jie had shed her cold attitude toward him—occasional chats even felt pretty pleasant. Huang Fei was very satisfied and confident that he could win her over in the future.
“Where are you looking?” Shen Meng Jie shot Huang Fei a playful glare, then crossed her long legs.
Maybe the boys’ passive touches triggered something, because Huang Fei just chuckled awkwardly. “What do you want to eat later?”
Hot pot. Perfect for this weather.
“No problem,” Huang Fei nodded.
He took a quick glance at the three coming over, urging Shen Meng Jie to change first.
She rolled her eyes at him mockingly, wrapping herself in a towel over her swimsuit and heading toward the changing room.
Huang Fei kept smiling foolishly at her. The more he looked, the more he thought he was worth it—beautiful face, fiery figure—it was his ideal.
Seeing Huang Fei’s creepy expression, Long Brother and the others exchanged a quick look. Simultaneously, they approached Huang Fei and, amid his begging for mercy, easily heaved him into the pool.
Climbing out, Huang Fei called out behind the three: “Hot pot, hot pot at noon!”
The trio ignored him and left without a backwards glance.
“Top ten dating principles—I’ve already written the confession part!” Huang Fei suddenly declared.
In an instant, three bodies splashed into the pool with a thud, and Huang Fei was lifted out by his friends.
“You’re lucky I pulled you out today,” Huang Fei bragged excitedly. “I’ve compiled countless confession experiences into just two words. I’ll show you later—you’ll be amazed!”
In the changing room.
Long Brother and the others stared at Huang Fei’s notes on sincerity in his confession, and they frowned.
“Only two words? d*mn, you’re talented!”
“Got hard, fist’s hard now!”
“I haven’t felt murderous in a long time. Old Huang, you’re the first!”
Meanwhile, Huang Fei, already dressed, quietly snuck toward the exit. “Hot pot later, I’ll go reserve a spot first.”
Seeing him slip away, Long Brother quickly started dressing. “Wait for me, I need to talk to you about something.”
“Yeah! Just a sec, we’ll be right there!” Xu Shuai and Li Long Long also hurriedly got dressed.
Seeing this, Huang Fei didn’t even bother grabbing his phone and just turned around and bolted. He was an athletic guy after all; Long Brother and the others simply couldn’t catch up.
Panting and sweating, the three watched Huang Fei run off. Huang Fei snorted amusedly—sometimes, boys’ happiness was just this simple.
“What are you guys doing?” Shen Meng Jie asked, watching the four gasp for air with hands on hips.
Huang Fei looked at Shen Meng Jie, about to say they were just fooling around.
Suddenly, three gusts of wind tore past his side. Recognizing the signs, his smile faded, and he slowly turned his head to face the three who had already surrounded him. “Can I have one more chance?”
“No use. We already gave you a chance. But once we saw those two words, your words were useless,” they replied, smirking.
Long Brother and the others burst into hearty laughter.
Watching the mess they made, Shen Meng Jie couldn’t help but smile slightly.
She took out her phone, sent messages to Han Xiao Jing and Wang Li Juan, arranging to meet at the school gate, then walked over to the still-playing four. “Hey, stop fooling around! Hurry up and leave. Xiaojing and Lijuan are already heading to the gate.”
The three looked at Huang Fei. “This time, it was the hot pot that saved you!”
“Here, your phone,” Long Brother handed Huang Fei his phone from his pocket.
…
Two tables pushed together, with two steaming hot pots. It wasn’t unusual for them to meet like this anymore.
Everyone was used to it; no one was overly polite.
During the meal, Huang Fei kept asking Long Brother about the division of work for their club project.
Shen Meng Jie looked at Long Brother, biting her chopsticks. Her lips slightly pursed as she gently sucked on them, then softly said, “Watch the screen, three, two, one—end the countdown with a whistle. Don’t say I didn’t take care of you—that spot is in high demand.”
“Though only a basic grade, it should be enough for you, right?”
“Thanks. Is it troublesome?” Long Brother asked earnestly, because it was actually very important to him.
Shen Meng Jie slowly dipped her lamb, glancing at Long Brother out of the corner of her eye before smiling softly. “It’s not too troublesome for me.”
That damned flippant tone, making people love and hate at the same time!
“Last time I couldn’t help you, so this time is my apology.”
“Just to prevent some petty people from snitching behind my back.”
Long Brother cleared his throat. These days, after his family’s social status changed, he knew well—never argue with women about right or wrong.
Because they wouldn’t listen; even if they aimed to needle you or twist facts, their basic move was to overturn black and white. If you had no reason, you’d still be losing by three points—an absolute k*ll shot…
Especially a fierce girl like Shen Meng Jie, whose words were sharp enough to cut deep. Talking sense to her would only make you lose face.
Huang Fei nudged Long Brother with his shoulder and whispered, “What’s going on?”
“Nothing, just a little misunderstanding,” Long Brother whispered back.
He felt Shen Meng Jie was his nemesis—offending her was just plain terrifying.
Seeing Long Brother get stuck, Shen Meng Jie was practically thrilled. Usually, she got the worst of him, always on top, not a bit of advantage. Now, finally, she felt pretty good…
