Chapter 440: Chapter 440: Liking Her Was the Best Thing I’ve Ever Done

Shen Zhaozhao: “Anything is possible. Remember, my dad used to think that the best I could do was sweeping streets.” If it had been when she first entered Jiu Middle School, she never would have imagined that she could get into Jing University without taking the entrance exam.

“Plus, even if you don’t get into Jing University, you could still apply to other good universities. Didn’t you say yourself that if you wanted to do well, being number one wouldn’t be a problem? I used to think you were just boasting, but seeing how much you’ve improved in just one month, if you keep it up, it really might be possible.”

Xie Yu: “Are you trying to feed me a pie in the sky?”

Shen Zhaozhao: “I am clearly encouraging you and helping you set goals. You’ve got to have dreams, right? What if they actually come true?”

“I really owe you one.”

Shen Zhaozhao then led him to their cafeteria.

Xie Yu, with hands in his pockets: “I’ve come all this way, and you’re treating me to the cafeteria?”

“What’s wrong with the cafeteria? Let me tell you, don’t underestimate our Jing University’s cafeteria. Have you heard of the ‘Eight Cuisines’? Shandong, Sichuan, Cantonese, Suzhou, Zhejiang, Fujian, Hunan, Anhui… Whatever you like, we have it here. Besides, it’s cheap and hygienic, way better than eating out, right?”

“So, the last sentence is the key point, isn’t it?”

“Right, you’ve got it all figured out, so are you eating or not?” Treating him to the cafeteria was already quite good, but he was still picky.

“Eat, why not? I want to see if your cafeteria is as good as you say.”

“Of course, it has to be. Don’t worry, you won’t be disappointed.”

“Alright!” Xie Yu said and then strode toward the cafeteria. Seeing that Shen Zhaozhao hadn’t caught up, he stopped and urged, “Why aren’t you coming in? Hurry up, I’m starving!”

“Hold on.” Shen Zhaozhao had just spoken when she saw a familiar figure approaching not far away. She immediately waved and called out, “Yiyi, over here.”

Xie Yu followed her gaze and saw a guy whose looks were no worse than his own walking toward that girl.

Thinking of what she had said before, Xie Yu’s expression became slightly odd. He looked Shen Zhaozhao up and down, then turned to the newcomer and said, “Is this really your boyfriend?”

He had indeed checked their school’s wall of honor and had seen photos of both of them. Several of her classmates had gotten into Jing University, all with pretty high attractiveness levels.

Especially the guy in front of him, although he graduated over a year ago, one could still find out his name if one inquired.

Even now, there were quite a few girls at Jiu Middle School who fancied him.

Shen Zhaozhao, with a satisfied expression, said: “Authentic, guaranteed! How about that, I didn’t lie, did I? Didn’t I tell you my boyfriend is much more handsome than you?”

Xie Yu firmly refused to admit that the other guy was more handsome than himself– they were at most about the same level.

But indeed, in terms of looks, she was really punching above her weight.

“Hey, dude, what on earth did you see in her?” Xie Yu greeted Sheng Chuyi with a familiar tone.

“Who are you calling ‘dude’?” Shen Zhaozhao glared at him.

Xie Yu quickly corrected himself: “Is it okay to call you ‘senior’?”

“That’s more like it!” Shen Zhaozhao said, barely satisfied.

Xie Yu turned again to Sheng Chuyi, seeking confirmation: “So you two are really a couple?”

Sheng Chuyi nodded politely and introduced himself: “Hello, I am Sheng Chuyi, Zhaozhao’s fiance. And…” He glanced at Shen Zhaozhao and, in front of Xie Yu, took her hand, “She’s great! Liking her is the best thing I’ve ever done.”

Xie Yu: …

I’ve been force-fed dog food, thanks!
