A waiter walked over to Fang Yan’s table.
He spoke respectfully, “Hello, guests. Today is our shop’s anniversary celebration, and your table just happened to be selected as the lucky winner.”
“We’ve launched a zodiac-themed menu. Whatever zodiac dish you want, just tell us, and we’ll serve it to you for free.”
“Huh?”
Fang Yan was stunned. Even the roadside food stalls in snack streets were this fancy now?
The waiter was still waiting for his order.
What zodiac dish?
The dish he wanted.
Could he even say it?
Jiang Wanrou looked toward him. Fang Yan’s old face reddened slightly, and he coughed awkwardly a few times.
“Then give me an Aries dish.”
Just as he expected.
The waiter brought over a large bowl of lamb.
So this was the Aries dish.
Fang Yan was greatly disappointed.
Still, who did not like free food?
While they were eating, Chen Ruru suddenly let out a scream.
“Ah!”
“What’s wrong with you? Did eating food make you feel that good?” Fang Yan showed absolutely no mercy toward her weird habit.
“No, no. I suddenly remembered something. Isn’t Wanwan an Aries too? Doesn’t that mean we’re eating her?”
“Don’t talk nonsense, Ruru.” Jiang Wanrou calmly glanced at her.
Aries?
Then her birthday should be sometime between March and April.
Fang Yan and Jiang Wanrou were the same age.
He was a Leo. He had just celebrated his birthday last month in July.
Which meant Jiang Wanrou was actually a few months older than him.
Oh, so she was technically an older sister.
Fang Yan found it amusing. He felt far more mature than Jiang Wanrou, especially in the way he handled people and situations.
Yet she was still older than him by several months.
Mentally, she still seemed like a child.
Only knowing how to use indifference to avoid interacting with others.
Jiang Wanrou had no idea that in Fang Yan’s mind, she had already become a child.
With her fair and slender fingers, she picked up several vegetables and slowly ate them.
She never touched the lamb, probably because she did not like it.
Fang Yan had noticed long ago that she had not eaten a single piece of lamb from beginning to end.
Curious, he asked, “The lamb is pretty good. Why aren’t you eating any?”
Then she explained in a voice only Fang Yan could hear, “When I was little, I watched Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf. I don’t dare eat it.”
“Pfft. Hahahahaha…”
Fang Yan burst out laughing. So the reason the campus belle refused to eat lamb was actually this funny.
But did she not know about Professor Wang’s True Fragrance Law?
Wang Ziyu and Chen Ruru had no idea why he suddenly laughed so loudly.
They only saw Fang Yan pick up the serving chopsticks and place several pieces of lamb into Jiang Wanrou’s bowl.
“Try it. It’s really tasty.”
“I… don’t want it.”
“Even if you don’t want it, it’s already in your bowl. If you’re not going to eat it, then who are you saving it for?”
Fang Yan lectured her seriously, “Food is precious. Don’t waste food just because your family is rich. That’s shameful behavior.”
“Got it~”
Jiang Wanrou picked up a piece of lamb. After struggling internally for a long time, she finally put it into her mouth.
Her cool expression instantly lost control, and her brows wrinkled slightly.
“It… it doesn’t taste good.”
“Alright then, don’t eat it.”
Fang Yan took out an empty bowl and let Jiang Wanrou place the unwanted lamb into it.
Although she did not understand why, Jiang Wanrou still did as he said. As long as she did not have to eat the lamb, she did not care about anything else.
Fang Yan picked up the bowl and immediately walked away without another word.
“Yan, where are you going?” Wang Ziyu stood up and asked.
“I’m going to feed the cats outside.”
“I’ll go with you!”
Not long after, Fang Yan and Wang Ziyu returned with their arms around each other’s shoulders, chatting and laughing.
Chen Ruru rested her chin in her hand and sighed. “I seriously don’t understand their relationship. One second they’re arguing and about to fight, and the next they’re acting like best brothers.”
“But honestly, it’s enviable. Having a childhood friend who’s still your classmate after all these years.”
“Wanwan, don’t you think so? He’s really lucky.”
Jiang Wanrou lightly nodded. She was also a little envious of Fang Yan having a childhood friend like that.
After returning to his seat, Fang Yan grabbed some untouched skewers from the table and started eating them.
Jiang Wanrou sat quietly, occasionally glancing at the time on her watch.
She probably did not notice that Fang Yan was secretly looking at her side profile.
There happened to be a hanging lamp above their four-person table. The light fell across her fair and delicate face, making it appear bright and luminous, with beautifully elegant contours.
Her face alone was enough to draw everyone’s attention.
Of course, it was not just her face that was attractive.
For example, right now, Fang Yan bit into a skewer while his eyes casually drifted beneath the table toward Jiang Wanrou’s long, slender legs. Read this novel at novelping dot com for the best experience.
His gaze was too aggressive, and he was eventually caught.
“W-What are you doing?” Jiang Wanrou looked at him in alarm.
“Uh… I thought a pair of chopsticks fell on the ground.”
Fang Yan calmly explained without blushing or skipping a beat, pointing seriously toward the pair of chopsticks trapped beneath Jiang Wanrou’s long, fair legs.
Following the direction he pointed, Jiang Wanrou indeed saw a pair of chopsticks under her foot.
Fang Yan could not help admiring his own brilliance. He had intentionally dropped those chopsticks there earlier.
The plan had been a complete success.
What Fang Yan did not know was that Jiang Wanrou had already noticed the chopsticks under her foot long ago and had even been amusing herself by rolling them around like a skateboard.
To his surprise, she pulled out a tissue, picked up the chopsticks, and handed them to him.
“Why are you giving them to me?” Fang Yan asked in confusion.
“Didn’t you want them?” Jiang Wanrou said softly.
“Uh… yeah.”
Fang Yan could only stare helplessly at the dirty chopsticks now placed in front of him.
Seeing that he was almost done eating, Jiang Wanrou suggested going home.
Naturally, Fang Yan had no objections. After all, his goal of treating Jiang Wanrou to dinner had already been achieved.
After paying the bill, the group left together.
Jiang Wanrou and Chen Ruru walked in front.
Fang Yan and Wang Ziyu followed behind them.
“Yan, tell me honestly. When you picked up those chopsticks earlier, were you actually thinking something dirty?” Wang Ziyu truly lived up to his feminine appearance. His instincts were sharp.
He had immediately noticed Fang Yan’s strange behavior earlier.
“Xiao Yu, have you heard this saying before?” Fang Yan asked while resting his hands behind his head.
“What saying?”
“When looking at a woman, first look at her eyes. If she’s not looking at you, then you can look at her legs.”
“Damn! You’re really shameless. That’s the campus belle!”
“Isn’t she still a girl?”
“You shameless bastard!”
Wang Ziyu’s furious howl made Jiang Wanrou and the others turn around. He could only awkwardly wave it off and claim it was nothing.
“Don’t get so excited.” Fang Yan slung an arm around his shoulders. “Hey, you’ve never had a girlfriend before, right? Want one?”
“Haven’t you never had one either?”
“That’s because I don’t want one. If I wanted to date, with all the girls chasing me, I could casually become the unforgettable white moonlight in any of their hearts.”
“Seriously, do you two stop breathing if you stop bragging?”
“Hehe, forget that. Do you want a girlfriend or not?”
“If she’s free, then of course I do.” Wang Ziyu looked at Fang Yan suspiciously. He had a feeling Fang Yan was definitely planning something bad.
But he still wanted the chance.
Being single for too long was terrifying. He did not dare miss even the slightest opportunity.
