Chapter 26 Do you really like him? ...

Hello, Zhao Manzhi.

It's not long time no see, it's hello. Not just hello, it's hello, Zhao Manzhi.

Zhao Manzhi vaguely remembered that when Chen Hang was rarely moved, he talked to her about Qiu Huai's specialness, and he said that Qiu Huai only responded indifferently to other people's greetings, but only when he saw Chen Hang, he would take the initiative to say "hello" to her.

At that time, she laughed at Chen Hang for thinking too much, but she didn't want to fall into a rut and nitpick over a word.

In fact, it was such a light sentence, and it didn't even take five seconds. After Zhuang Youkai finished speaking, his eyes paused on her for a moment, and then he walked into the venue calmly.

Zhao Manzhi sent Han Xiaoshuang to the door and left. After slowly returning to the dormitory, she lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling for a long time. What does he mean by this? He politely expressed that he still remembered her, but he could only say so much?

So annoying!

Shouldn't he be enjoying the good life of the crown prince of Huanye in Deep Water Bay? Why did he condescend to come to the mountains of Zhongda University and give a speech to the naive children he hates the most?

Is this Zhuang Youkai himself?

Zhao Manzhi was distracted and scrolled through her phone. She switched to Facebook and happened to see a post from Cynthia. As expected of Cynthia, she was able to hike in just over a month after her confinement.
After she clicked the like button, she noticed Cynthia's caption: new journey in New Territories. 

After thinking for a while, she clicked into the chat interface and greeted Cynthia: Long time no see! Are you in the New Territories now? I still owe a gift for my baby. When is it convenient for us to go out for dinner together? 

The other party replied quickly: OK, I will be in the New Territories often recently, and I have plenty of time. 

Often in the New Territories? Zhao Manzhi's heart skipped a beat. 

If there is no personnel adjustment, Cynthia's job nature will still follow Zhuang Youkai. She will be stationed in the New Territories. Does that mean... 

Before she could think about it, Fang Ling called: "Manman, we are done here. According to the arrangement of MUA, we still have to go back to the groups for lunch. We plan to go to Dewen Canteen. Do you want to come?" " 

Okay, I just want to eat red bean ice. Let's meet at Canteen." 

She put on her shoes and went out. When she went downstairs, she passed by a few girls who cast their eyes on her intentionally or unintentionally, and whispered about her. Zhao Manzhi stopped to look at them, but found that they seemed to have never seen them before. They were new faces. 

New students? What are they talking about her? 

It's not that she hasn't felt such attention before, but people whispered along the way, which inevitably made her feel weird. 

When she arrived at the canteen, she was not in the mood to order even red bean ice, so she sat directly next to Fang Ling. During this time, people nearby were still secretly looking over here. Zhao Manzhi couldn't help but feel even more curious and asked Fang Ling, "What happened after I sent Han Xiaoshuang to the lecture? Why are so many people looking at me?" 

"Do you really not know, or are you pretending to be stupid?" Fang Ling lowered her head and stirred the Yuanyang Coffee in front of her. "Your former boss ignored everyone and only greeted you. Xiaoshuang told everyone she met that the team mom knew today's speaker. You are famous again!" 

Zhao Manzhi's brain was stuck for a moment, and it took her a long time to recover. "Is it that exaggerated?" 

"Yes, this group of newly graduated kids have never seen such a young and wealthy entrepreneur up close, so they are naturally extra concerned." 

"It's just a greeting..." 

"It's indeed just a greeting, but you don't even look at who is greeting you." Can the big shot condescending to call her name be compared with a hi when meeting classmates? Fang Ling seemed to suddenly think of something and looked up at her, "Hey, Manman, did you get the news that the former boss is coming to CUHK? Someone around him should have told you, right?" 

Zhao Manzhi shook her head, "No way, he's so busy, how could he think of me? I only found out it was him when I was browsing my Moments on the way." 

"So." Fang Ling's tone was light, "What a coincidence, we just happened to meet at the door." 

Her words made Zhao Manzhi feel a little uncomfortable, as if she was deliberately showing off her relationship with Zhuang Youkai in front of others, but Fang Ling's expression didn't contain too many emotions. She was afraid that she was thinking too much, so she touched her lips, and finally stood up holding the Octopus card, "I'll go buy a cup of red bean ice." 

"Okay." 

Li Ke walked in, leaned against Chen Muchuan's desk and tapped it lightly, "Send two male helpers to get the materials for your group, just outside Feng Su, according to the leader, one for each parent of the freshman group." 

Chen Muchuan raised his eyes, "What is it?" 

"A gift box of dim sum from Huanye Hotel." Li Ke saw that he was in a bad mood and reminded him, "Don't think too much about it. This has been prepared a long time ago and has nothing to do with what happened today." 

"How can I think too much about it? He is the prince of such a big group, so I just want to give him a little gift." Chen Muchuan's tone was sour, full of concern. 

The lecture of the business school this morning was undoubtedly the most sensational. In addition to the original freshmen and group parents, many students from other grades also squeezed in to listen. Chen Muchuan led the students to their seats and retreated to the back row. While watching Zhuang Youkai talk about business thinking in a graceful manner, he listened to Fang Ling sighing. No wonder Zhao Manzhi often mentioned her boss before. It was indeed extraordinary. 

What's so extraordinary? Who has such a background and wealth, sitting in such a position, can still talk a lot, and a little gift can win people's hearts. 

The dim sum set sent by Huanye is extremely exquisite. People with sharp eyes can see that this is the specification of the usual thank-you gift for suite customers. 

Chen Muchuan felt more and more upset. When he returned to the dormitory, he threw the whole box into the trash can.

The Ocamp for mainland students is commonly known as Little O. After the end, it is the Big O organized by the school. In addition to mainland students, local and international students also join. According to convention, a group night talk will be arranged on the last day after the Little O. Seniors will lead the freshmen to the Tolo Harbour, and talk about some more in-depth topics while enjoying the sea breeze. 

Reporting status is also a tradition of this day. 

Usually, students in Hong Kong schools use A (available) and NA (not available) plus numbers to indicate their status. A means single, NA means not single, and the number represents the number of relationships. From this, more expressions are extended, such as ABNA, which means Available but not available, usually means that single but the person present cannot flirt. 

At that time, the word crush was not popular. Everyone called potential development objects potential. If someone reported ABNA in this link, everyone would ask whether there was potential, and lock in the candidate from the college, school, and grade. Compared with the mainland, the atmosphere in Hong Kong schools is more open. When they talk about such topics at night, they are not shy. The freshmen may be a little hesitant at first, but they can quickly integrate. Those who have stories will share their love stories, and those who don’t have stories will also listen with great pleasure. 

As the handsome men and beautiful women of Ocamp, Chen Muchuan and Zhao Manzhi are naturally the focus of the topic. 

Li Ke cheered on the side: "Zhao Manzhi, set an example, don’t be shy, set an example for the freshmen." 

Liu Yifan echoed: "That’s right, you have to set a good example!"
"Hey, why are you only talking about me and not Chen Muchuan?" Zhao Manzhi pushed Li Ke, "His status is very exciting."

"Nonono, it's because yours is not that exciting that everyone is curious whether there is any update."

Luo Yuner chuckled, "You guys are so bad!"

The freshmen who didn't know the truth were confused by their charades and looked at Zhao Manzhi, "What's wrong, what's the situation with the group mother?"

Chen Muchuan raised his eyebrows, "To put it simply, the last time she reported A0."

"A0?"

Fang Ling explained with a smile, "It means virgin solo."

"Ah?!" Sure enough, like a thunderclap, the whole audience exploded, the sea breeze blew away the young laughter, and buzzed into Zhao Manzhi's ears.

"Is it true?! The team mom is so beautiful!"

"It seems that the team dad is not working hard enough."

"Is the team mom too picky, so she doesn't want to date at all?"

"This really shocked me!"

"Oh my, what's wrong with A0? If you haven't dated, then you haven't dated. There is no need for any reason." She always felt that love was the least worthwhile part of life experience, and she was not in the mood to divide her energy on it. "Looking at you one by one, my jaw is about to drop."

"Then the team mom, do you not want to, or haven't met the right one?" Han Xiaoshuang turned her head and looked at her with bright eyes.

Zhao Manzhi thought for a while and said, "I didn't want to before, but now..."

It seems that she can't do it now.

Does she like Zhuang Youkai? She doesn't know, she just knows that wanting to be with him seems like an extremely absurd joke. Her love seems to be destined to end in vain, so she doesn't seem to ask for the result, but just hides such a person in her heart, and then there is no room for anyone else.

"Do you mean potential?" Li Ke looked at her expression and sensed something different. "Which academy, which college? Tell me the truth!"

Someone subconsciously looked at Chen Muchuan. Yes, everyone likes to see good things happen when people help each other.

Chen Muchuan's throat rolled and he clenched the Vita Lemon Tea in his hand. He knew that Zhao Manzhi didn't like him, but at this moment, he was more concerned about whether she really had someone she liked.

Zhao Manzhi just shook her head, "Not from our school."

"Does that mean she really has someone?!" Luo Yuner applauded, "When you get him, treat us to a pool meal!"

"Just kidding, I don't even know if that counts. Can a possibility of 0 still be considered potential?"

Zhao Manzhi casually changed the subject and shifted the blame to Li Ke. In the night, Chen Muchuan quietly deformed the can. Fang Ling looked at him, her eyes darkening inch by inch.

They chatted until after one o'clock, and everyone went back to the dormitory one by one.

CUHK is built on the mountain, and it is too painful to walk around the mountain. Most of the time, you can save effort by taking the elevators in the teaching buildings dotted in the mountains. Coming out of the medical building is the rooftop of the German College, which overlooks the dazzling night view of Tolo Harbor.

Liu Yifan was talking about the campus legend of the medical building, which scared the girls to scream. In the playfulness, Chen Muchuan slowed down his pace to wait for Zhao Manzhi, holding her, "I have something to tell you."

Fang Ling on the side was stunned for a moment, and left tactfully, "Manman, I'll wait for you in front."

Zhao Manzhi looked straight into Chen Muchuan's eyes, knowing that this day would come sooner or later, pursed her lips, and said to Fang Ling, "You go back and wash up first, I'll come later."

"...Okay."

The voices gradually faded away, and their figures also merged with the swaying shadows of the trees in the distance, like a group of blurred ink. The gentle night breeze blew Zhao Manzhi's long hair away. She brushed it back and casually tucked it behind her ear. "Okay, go ahead."

"The person you just talked about at night was your former boss, right?" Chen Muchuan took a deep breath. "Do you really like him?"
