What?

Pinch me till I cry?

Hearing those words, Bai Xiaochun nearly burst out laughing.

She looked to Chu Tians eyes and tried her best to restrain her laughter, How could there be someone like you, someone who forces a girl to become his girlfriend? Didnt you know that if you force a melon off its vine, it wouldnt be sweet?

[1. This means that if something isnt meant to be, you shouldnt force it because the result wouldnt satisfy you.]

All that matters is that I can eat the melon to quench my thirst. I dont care, said Chu Tian. Weve already kissed. Even if you want to say that you dont want to be my girlfriend, its already too late. So, are you going to be my girlfriend or not?

Seeing how overbearing Chu Tian was acting, Bai Xiaochun suddenly laughed. Then, she threw her head into his chest.

7PM!

When Chu Tian and Bai Xiaochun returned to the university holding hands, Yang Rong was waiting for them by the entrance.

Seeing them walking toward the entrance, Yang Rong smiled and ran over to them.

Quite capable, arent you, deskmate, Yang Rong joked as she looked at the couple, I only decided to give the two of you a chance to enjoy a date alone. Who wouldve expected that youll manage to capture our Xiaochun in one go. It would appear that Ive underestimated your ability.

Thats of course, Chu Tian smiled, You shouldve checked out who your deskmate is.

Mn, youre right.

As she said those words, Yang Rong looked at Bai Xiaochun with a beaming smile on her face, Lazily, she said, Xiaochun, why couldnt you hold steady for a bit longer? Youve only spent a single day alone with him. Youve allowed my deskmate to hook you away in a single day, youre simply making things too easy for him.

Thats because hes a total scoundrel, said Bai Xiaochun with embarrassment, He said hell pinch me if I refuse him.

Ah? Yang Rong looked to Chu Tian speechlessly. She laughed, Deskmate, Im not trying to criticize you here. But, thats a bit despicable, no?

Doesnt matter, Chu Tian waved his hand, Despicable or not, what matters is its effectiveness. See.

As he spoke, Chu Tian lifted his hand holding onto Bai Xiaochuns hand, Shes mine now.

Bai Xiaochun laughed. Then, she pinched Chu Tians arm with her other hand.

Well then, Chu Tian laughed, Deskmate, dont be courteous with me tonight. What do you want to eat? Ill make sure youre completely satisfied.

You shouldve told me that sooner. If you did, I wouldnt have eaten half a bun, Yang Rong started thinking, I dont know whats going on with the Yang Family Restaurant. Its actually undergoing construction. Else, Id say we should go there since their food is pretty good.

Now that you mention it, Bai Xiaochun let go of Chu Tians hand and, in a natural manner, hugged his arm, I remembered that the Yang Family Restaurant was still open several days ago. Hey, Chu Tian, youve passed by that place today. Do you know whats going on?

Eh

You dont say!

How could he not know whats going on?

He was the one who purchased the Yang Family Restaurant. It was not being remodeled into a club.

But

Chu Tian shrugged his shoulders, No idea. I also remember that it was still open last week. Perhaps its being transformed into something else?

Then lets go to that Korean restaurant, said Yang Rong, Its not far and Ive heard the foods pretty good.

Sure, lets do that, said Chu Tian, Korean restaurant it is.

Ten minutes later!

Chu Tian, Bai Xiaochun and Yang Rong entered a Korean restaurant near the university.

But, the moment he entered the Korean restaurant, Chu Tian discovered a situation. Li Sisi was actually also in the restaurant.

She was not alone. There was another woman sitting across from her. That woman seemed to be roughly thirty or so too. She was wearing glasses.

Li Sisi was surprised to see Chu Tian walk in. But soon, a crafty smile appeared on her face. She continued with her discussion with the woman across from her.

Hey, hey, hey!

Suddenly, Bai Xiaochun pulled at Chu Tians arm. Quietly, she said, Look! You see that woman? Shes the one I mentioned to you about this morning. Whatd you think? Isnt she very womanly?

Eh.

Chu Tian wouldnt be able to pretend to not see Li Sisi this time around.

He looked over and said, Damn! Youre right! That woman possess an enticing charm.

See, I told you so, Bai Xiaochun smiled, I told you she gives off that sort of charming and womanly air from a single glance.

Meanwhile, a server came up to Chu Tians group, Hello. Three people?

Chu Tian nodded, Right, three.

Please follow me to be seated.

They were seated next to Li Sisi.

Right after the three of them sat down, the server handed them a menu, Please have a look. We have special meal packages here too. They range from 108, 128, 188 and 218 RMB. Which option would suit the three of you?

Chu Tian smiled as he handed the menu to Yang Rong, Deskmate, you can do the ordering.

Yang Rong smiled, You want me to order? Well, I wouldnt hesitate then.

Hey hey! Bai Xiaochun pouted, You better not order something too expensive. My boyfriends no cash cow. For the three of us, the 128 meal package should be enough.

Pfff!

Hearing Bai Xiaochuns comment, Li Sisi, seated next to them, couldnt help but spray out her water onto the ground.

Seeing that, the woman across from her was completely confused.

That woman asked, Whats wrong? You think these two designs are very funny?

No, no, Li Sisi began wiping her mouth while still smiling, I suddenly thought of something funny and didnt manage to control myself. It has nothing to do with your plans.

Yang Rong took a glance at Li Sisi before turning around and smiling, Xiaochun, I truly cant with you. Youve only just started dating him but you wanted to help your boyfriend save money already? He had obtained you that easily, shouldnt you take this opportunity to bleed him a bit?

Nonsense, said Bai Xiaochun, My boyfriend works real hard to earn money, okay?

Its alright, said Chu Tian with a smile, Lets let my deskmate enjoy herself. Lets go with the 218 meal package.

Heh. Look, see how open-handed my deskmate is? Yang Rong laughed, Okay, well order the 218 meal package.

Li Sisi was watching the three university students every action. Hearing their conversation, she nearly burst out laughing again.

Truly interesting!

218 RMB was an act of bleeding?

[2. Bleeding, in this context, means to lavish with money.]

If they knew that Chu Tian spent 39 million not long ago and did not blink an eye while doing so, what sort of expression would they have?

Her boss really knew how to have fun.
