Chapter 21 The Sisters' Discovery
Chen Yan was shocked, but the girls in the room didn't know the real reason for his shock.
I thought he was... flattered.
So, they looked at each other and saw smiles in each other's eyes.
Even Yang Nuannuan, who had been doubtful about Chen Yan's actions tonight, couldn't help but smile warmly.
Chen Yan's behavior made her feel that maybe :
That's exactly how a boy would express himself by giving a surprise to the person he likes.
From this perspective, some unreasonable and over-the-line behaviors may just be because he wants Qiaoqiao's approval too much...
Of course, others were relieved, but Yu Qiaoqiao was not.
She saw Chen Yan standing there blankly, and she felt confused for a moment.
She asked quietly, "Don't you... like the gift I gave you?"
Yu Qiaoqiao's voice woke Chen Yan up.
Chen Yan quickly shook his head, "No, no."
"I am..."
"How should I put it..."
Chen Yan scratched his head. For the first time, he felt that things were a little beyond his expectations.
"Hmm...I didn't expect that."
After all, no one has ever thought of a scenario where you don’t even have to fight the boss and the equipment will drop directly, right?
Seeing his silly look, Yang Nuannuan and the others laughed secretly.
I think Chen Yan really likes Qiaoqiao.
After Chen Yan expressed his feelings , he looked at Yu Qiaoqiao's cautious look, and for a moment, the softest part of his heart seemed to be touched.
He walked over, took the gift, and said sincerely, "Thank you, Qiaoqiao."
When Chen Yan took the gift, two pink clouds climbed onto Yu Qiaoqiao's cheeks. She said shyly, "Don't let your imagination run wild. This is... is... is a return gift."
Chen Yan quickly said "Oh", "Don't worry. Don't worry. I won't think too much."
The other people in the room... held their foreheads.
As Chen Yan answered, the room fell silent for a moment.
No one spoke, just watching the couple.
Chen Yan and Yu Qiaoqiao, two guys who had never been in a relationship, were so nervous that they didn't know what to say. So they just stood there, one standing and the other sitting, not knowing what to do next.
After a while, Yu Qiaoqiao looked up cautiously and asked, "How about you open the gift and see if you like it?"
Chen Yan said "Oh" twice and asked, "Just tear it down on the spot?"
Yu Qiaoqiao was confused by the question.
She doesn't understand either.
She looked at Chen Yan with her big eyes, "Then...why don't you go back and dismantle it?"
Chen Yan was also confused.
He has never accepted any gifts from girls.
He looked into Yu Qiaoqiao's big eyes and blinked his own eyes, "Then I'll go back and take it down?"
Yu Qiaoqiao: ...
Chen Yan: …
The air seemed even quieter.
Finally, Zhao Ying couldn't stand it anymore. She stood up and said, "If you don't tear it down, I will!"
The others quickly grabbed this fool.
At this moment, the atmosphere became lively and the scene suddenly became chaotic with everyone running around.
And Chen Yan... was finally no longer confused.
His face turned slightly red, he coughed twice, and put the gift behind him, "Forget it, forget it, I'll open it when I get back."
The matter was resolved satisfactorily. The scene gradually quieted down. Everyone pretended nothing happened and started playing in the restaurant.
But for some reason, even though there were still these seven people, the atmosphere suddenly became a little weird and ambiguous, and it was not as harmonious as at the beginning.
Especially the two parties involved, Chen Yan was always absent-minded from time to time, and Yu Qiaoqiao always kept her head down and didn't speak. The atmosphere was even more difficult to describe.
Seeing that the two protagonists were distracted, the sisters in the dormitory were no longer in the mood to continue playing, so they simply ended the party early and left the restaurant.
This time, Chen Yan did not turn around and leave, but sent them back to Qindao University first: because... it was on the way.
They separated at the East Gate. Chen Yan went home, while the girls carried the remaining pastries they had packed and walked towards the dormitory.
Without Chen Yan, the sisters relaxed a lot and could talk freely.
"By the way, Sister Nuannuan, how much do you think Chen Yan spent on our dinner tonight?"
Yang Nuannuan thought about the dishes she ordered tonight and the personal service provided by the waiter. She hesitated for a moment and said vaguely, "I don't think it's cheap...right?"
One of the three kids held up his phone and said, "I posted a photo of what we ate on WeChat Moments. The comments went viral."
"They asked me if had booked the restaurant. They actually ordered so much food."
"Some people also said that the food alone would cost at least three to four thousand yuan."
Hearing her say this, the other two of the three little ones all screamed.
“So expensive?”
"Oh my god. I ate my own living expenses for a month!?"
Even Zhao Ying, who had been indifferent, had his eyes move slightly, obviously not expecting to spend so much money.
Yu Qiaoqiao, who had been walking in silence, suddenly looked up and asked in surprise, "How much?"
Yang Nuannuan glared at the three little ones, then said to Yu Qiaoqiao, "Qiaoqiao, it's just an estimate."
Yu Qiaoqiao pursed her lips into a straight line, "But...it must be very expensive. It's not good to spend other people's money like this."
Yang Nuannuan looked at the other people and comforted them, "Don't worry. We'll come back another day."
"Don't worry about it. We'll make the arrangements when the time comes. After all, we eat a lot."
Yu Qiaoqiao shook her head stubbornly, "That won't do. Chen Yan treated us because of me."
Yang Nuannuan looked at the others and said, "Then you can come too. Let's go back and invite Chen Yan together."
Yu Qiaoqiao then nodded slightly and began to calculate her own small treasury.
Three thousand dollars...
So many.
I can only afford it if I receive a scholarship, right?
Looking at Yu Qiaoqiao's expression, Yang Nuannuan sighed slightly.
She looked at the bright moon in the sky and at the chattering sisters around her who were ignorant of the world, but she had a deeper worry in her heart: Did this meal really only cost three or four thousand?
Why does it feel like it’s not enough?
After returning to the dormitory, the three little ones chattered and wanted to go wash up, but Yang Nuannuan stopped them with a look.
Yu Qiaoqiao originally wanted to go wash up with Zhao Ying, but Zhao Ying refused under the hint of Yang Nuannuan's eyes. She said she was too tired and wanted to rest for a while, and let her wash up by herself.
Yu Qiaoqiao didn't notice anything unusual, and no one was there to accompany her, so she could only wash up by herself.
After she left, Yang Nuannuan stuck her head out to look at the corridor, locked the door, and then said, "Sisters, I have something to say."
"I feel like something's not right tonight."
As she spoke, Yang Nuannuan began to talk about her discovery tonight.
For example, there always seemed to be a few waiters standing outside the restaurant, stopping customers who wanted to enter the store.
For example, the waiter was too enthusiastic towards his group.
For example, Chen Yan always secretly communicated something with the waiter.
For example...I didn’t see Chen Yan go to pay the bill, etc.
All this shows that tonight’s meal is actually not simple.
Hearing what Yang Nuannuan said, the three little ones looked at each other, unable to hide their shock.
Zhao Ying also frowned.
After a while, she looked up and said seriously, "So, what you mean is... Chen Yan is a gangster, and he is using the excuse of inviting us to dinner to make contact with others?"
Yang Nuannuan:? ?
The three little ones tilted their heads in unison: ???
