Chapter 750: Do You Have To Embarrass Me?

Sure enough, Huo Yao got it spot on.

Huo Yao went quiet briefly before she asked. “Feiyu, have you eaten?”

The last time she was at Tsing University, Yi Feiyu had bought her lunch.

Yi Feiyu smiled. “Not yet.”

Huo Yao replied. “Perfect. Let’s have lunch together.”

“Sure thing,” agreed Yi Feiyu. He had a very good impression of Huo Yao. She was confident and had a candid personality.

Before long, they headed over to the canteen where Huo Yao paid for lunch.

Yi Feiyu and Yi Lianfan were not the shy types, so they ordered food without restraint.

After the four of them sat down at a table, Meng Ying felt moved and miserable for sharing the table with three straight-A students. She could not help feeling inferior.

She was having lunch with some of the most intelligent people in the country, so the experience was both incredible and stressful.

Meng Ying chewed on her chopsticks as she pondered over this.

Yi Feiyu had a warm, sociable personality. He would take the initiative to talk to Meng Ying often when he noticed that she was unable to join in the conversation, so as to alleviate any awkwardness.

“Oh yes. Who is the third year representative? Is it you, Lianfan?” Yi Feiyu turned to look at his cousin as he took a piece of pork ribs and put it in his mouth.

He knew that Yi Lianfan always came in first in the level, so he automatically thought it was him.

Yi Lianfan’s hands paused. However, he glanced at Huo Yao without the slightest awkwardness. He sighed and said, “It’s not me.”

The moment Yi Feiyu heard this, he raised his brow in shock. “Not you?”

Yi Lianfan cleared his throat and lowered his head to eat some rice as he answered in a muffled tone. “Uh huh.”

Although he did not feel awkward, he certainly felt embarrassed.

Yi Feiyu blinked as he contemplated quickly. He turned to look at Huo Yao and slapped his forehead. “Look at this memory of mine. Yao must be the one giving the speech, right?”

Since she was the champion for the International Quiz Contest, her results must be far better than Yi Lianfan, but it had slipped his mind.

Yi Lianfan lowered his head even more after listening to what Yi Feiyu said.

He suddenly felt that it was a bad idea to bring Yi Feiyu to the canteen today.

Huo Yao acknowledged modestly.

“Yao, you are brilliant…” Yi Feiyu stuck his thumb up at Huo Yao.

“Just keep your mouth shut and eat,” interrupted Yi Lianfan as he kicked his cousin’s leg under the table for speaking in such an exaggerated tone.

Yi Feiyu glanced at him sideways. “Now you know what it means when they say there are smarter people out there, right?”

In the past, Yi Lianfan acted so cockily for coming in first in school all the time and kept showing off in front of their friends and family.

Despite never coming in first, Yi Feiyu was always in the top five. Did he deserve to get ostracized for coming in the top five?

Yi Lianfan said, “… Do you have to embarrass me?”

“Did you ever care about how I felt in the past?” chuckled Yi Feiyu happily.

Yi Lianfan went speechless.

Huo Yao shook her head and couldn’t help laughing as she looked at them before she lowered her head and continued with her lunch.

A gentle female voice suddenly interrupted the conversation.

“Hmm? Feiyu, are you having lunch here too?” Jiang Mingyue looked at Yi Feiyu in surprise.

She glanced at the three students sharing the table with Yi Feiyu. The moment she saw Huo Yao’s gorgeous face, she was stunned.

Yi Feiyu raised his head when he heard Jiang Mingyue’s voice. He composed himself as he looked at her. “Uh huh. I haven’t eaten at the canteen in ages. Since I am back at my alma mater, I decided to have lunch with my cousin and his friends.”

Jiang Mingyue was also among the alumni attending Tsing University invited to give a speech.
