'Xia Minghua?'
Another pang of familiarity.
"It wouldn't be that Senior Xia they all talk about?"
"It usually is. I don't think that they understand they have no chance with Third Bro. He's traumatized." Wu Zhiting chuckled in schadenfreude.
"?"
"He was rejected by his first love. He hasn't shown any interest in a woman since. And mind you, this was back in high school."
"Ah, the curse of first love. Even the greatest people can be rejected."
"Yeah, we all didn't believe him at first, it wasn't until-"
"What kind of nonsense are you spouting now?"
"Third Brother!"
Zhou Lengxin looked up to see a handsome youth in a basketball uniform, his sweat glistened under the sunlight. It was the Game Store Prince!
Her line of sight passed from him to Wu Zhiting, to her currently squealing roommates.
"This is your Third Brother?" Zhou Lengxin felt a sharp kick at her foot.
Chen Xiaoxiao tried to send her a message with her eyes.
"What are you doing? You look so ugly."
Xiaoxiao face was scrunched up and her eyes were looking towards Game Store Prince. She used her whole body to nudge Zhou Lengxin towards him.
"Senior Xia is so close, hurry and say something! We may never get this kind of chance again!" She hissed not so subtly.
Xia Minghua looked over and gave a knowing smile.
"H-hello, Senior Brother, I-I'm Chen Xiaoxiao."
He nodded, "Hello."
His voice made Chen Xiaoxiao sigh dreamily. Senior Xia talked to her!
"Zhou Lengxin," Zhou Lengxin added curtly.
"Hmm, I know."
Wu Zhiting's jaw dropped. 'He only said a few words, bu why did it feel like his Third Bro was flirting with a girl?'
"Third Brother, wanna grab lunch after this?"
"Sushi. My treat."
"Really?! Wow, you must be in a good mood!" Wu Zhiting called over two other men who were playing.
"Third Bro's treating us to Japanese cuisine!"
Zhou Lengxin felt her stomach rumble. Damn! Now she wanted some.
The end of Xia Minghua's lips curved upwards.
"Do you also like Japanese food?"
"Junior Sister, we just met, but why don't you join us? Don't worry about the cost, our Third Brother is loaded anyway." How could he not understand Xia Minghua's intentions?
*sigh* All the pretty girls are either taken or Third Brother's fan... finally found one that wasn't, and turns out Third Brother's taken a liking to her. He really had the heart of a martyr.
Zhou Lengxin's heart felt conflicted. On one hand she really wanted this free meal, but on the other, it was with four male strangers.
On her right, she felt three burning gazes.
"Um, I feel a bit embarrassed to ask, but can these three idiots come?" Any other day, this sentence would spark bickering, but today they accepted their title as 'idiots' graciously.
"Of course! More the merrier!" This Junior Sister of his had many pretty friends as well! Things weren't so hopeless for young bachelor Wu Zhiting ah!
At the back of her head, Zhou Lengxin had a nagging feeling that she had seen the Game Store Prince somewhere before... forget it la. A face like his is hard to forget, it's probably nothing important.
"Xinxin, you've worked hard," Wei Lina gave her a thumbs up, "to snag a meal with Senior must take an unimaginable amount of skill. I acknowledge you!"
