Chapter 263: Chapter 263: 263: Don't Leave After School (24)

Chuzheng looked up, her face expressionless as she refused, “I won’t share a table.”

“Brother Qin is giving you face…”

Qin Feng stopped Ah Huang.

“Student Xu, you’d better think it through.” After being repeatedly refused, Qin Feng was starting to get annoyed.

He had grown up without anyone ever daring to refuse him like this.

“And?”

Qin Feng raised an eyebrow, “Buying this place would just take a minute.”

He left the rest unsaid.

But the implication was clear: soon you’re going to be embarrassed.

Chuzheng: “???”

It’s just sharing a table—why escalate to buying the restaurant?

What’s with Qin Feng’s brain… how is it wired?

Could it be that guys with many girlfriends have differently wired brains?

Ah Huang was showing off next to Qin Feng as if Qin Feng offering to share the table was a sign of respect for them.

Chuzheng leaned back slightly, her arms folded across her chest, exuding the aura of a boss, “How much do you plan to offer?”

Chuzheng’s response caught Qin Feng off guard.

“Student Xu, that’s none of your business.”

“This is my restaurant, why wouldn’t it be my business?” the girl replied, her tone indifferent.

“…”

The owner was sweating at the side, wondering when his restaurant had become so coveted.

He hadn’t planned to sell, but then this young lady had gone straight to the landlord and bought the place.

Chuzheng hadn’t forced him, but the price she offered hit the spot, plus he was still the owner here, keeping the earnings for himself.

He wouldn’t say no to a pie falling from the sky.

Zhu Zian and the others were staring, dumbfounded.

They had wondered why a seat was kept empty.

The little school sister is really rich.

She bought the place just like that.

Does your family know about your squandering?

“Even if I were to smash the place, I wouldn’t sell it to you,” Chuzheng added slowly and methodically.

Qin Feng: “…”

Everyone: “…”

Qin Feng just wanted to make Chuzheng lower her head, and now, not only did she not lower her head, but he had lost face instead.

“Xu Chuzheng, where did your family get the money? You’re not spouting nonsense, are you?” Yu Yue was quite familiar with Xu Chuzheng’s family background—her dad was just a driver, and her mom did odd jobs; they hardly had any money.

Chuzheng didn’t even flicker an eyebrow, “Is it wrong to strike it rich with a mine?”

“Who are you trying to fool?”

“Bastard,” the girl’s voice was clear and resonant.

“…”

With only their group of people around, it was obvious whom she was referring to.

She was insinuating them without directly saying it.

Yu Yue’s face turned livid in an instant, “Xu Chuzheng, who are you cursing at!”

“I didn’t curse,” Chuzheng said, her face dead serious, as if she was on the verge of writing “don’t talk nonsense” on her forehead.

I just mentioned a ‘bastard,’ what’s wrong with that? Is it forbidden for me to speak?!

Which law says I can’t?!

We’re just trying to eat, and here’s a group of you babbling on, is there no end to it?!

“You…” Yu Yue was pulled back by Qin Feng, “Qin Feng, why are you holding me back? She’s just playing us—how could she possibly afford to buy this place?”

Usually, treating classmates to a snack would now mean buying this place?

Bullshit!

“The boss is right here, why don’t you ask and find out?” Qin Feng looked towards the sweat-wiping boss on the side.

“Uh…”

Suddenly the focus of everyone’s attention, the boss’s sweat streamed down even more.

“This… is… Miss Chuzheng bought my restaurant before,” the owner finally admitted.

“If she bought your restaurant, why are you still here?” Yu Yue didn’t believe it, pressing aggressively, “Boss, did she tell you to say this for her?”

The boss was quick to defend, “No, no, it’s true. Miss Chuzheng is the owner now. Since Miss Chuzheng is still studying, I’m just helping her manage it.”

Qin Feng’s face began to sour gradually.

Thankfully, he didn’t lose his cool but just pulled Yu Yue along, “In that case, let’s not disturb Student Xu during her meal. Let’s go, we’ll find another place.”

“The environment here isn’t that great anyway, let Brother Qin treat us at Fuhai Building,” Ah Huang sneered dismissively.

Zhu Zian almost threw a punch when he saw it.

What kind of person was that!

“Sure thing,” Qin Feng readily chimed in.

Fuhai Building was also a famous restaurant nearby.

But it was rather upscale.

Ah Huang suddenly said again, “Brother Qin, isn’t Fuhai Building closed at this time?”

“No worries, I’ll give them a call,” Qin Feng said, sounding very nonchalant.

“Playing off each other quite impressively,” Chuzheng and Bastard commented.

The group hadn’t gone far, obviously saying it for them to hear.

Yu Yue walked to the door, then suddenly turned back, her voice slow and malicious, “Some people should be careful not to have their boyfriends stolen without even realizing it.”

That was directed at Yao Fei.

But Yao Fei was a bit lost, not knowing who Yu Yue was talking to.

“Have you ordered yet?”

“…” I haven’t ordered yet!

Jih Cheng casually ticked off a couple of items and passed the menu to others.

“Little junior sister, did you really buy this restaurant?”

“Mhm.”

“Rich,” Zhu Zian gave Chuzheng a thumbs up, “So does this mean we’ll always have seats from now on?”

“Won’t you get tired of it?” Surely one can’t eat here every day, no matter how good the food is, right?

“…Maybe a little,” Zhu Zian scratched his head.

“Let’s switch it up tomorrow, buy Fuhai Building.”

“Pfft…”

Look at her, changing flavors doesn’t mean switching restaurants, it means buying the restaurant outright.

Buying a restaurant at the drop of a hat!!

For little junior sister, it’s as casual as buying a lollipop.

This is a restaurant we’re talking about!

Is this really how the truly wealthy operate?

The poverty left them bewildered.

Since Yao Fei was there, Zhu Zian didn’t dare to drink too much, and left on time to take her home.

Fatty loudly claimed that Zhu Zian, having left the main group, was no longer their Brother Zhu.

After the meal, Chuzheng drove Jih Cheng home.

At first, Jih Cheng didn’t want Chuzheng to drive him, being a boy after all.

He should be the one to take her home.

However, Chuzheng was insistent, not giving him a chance to refuse.

Chuzheng took him to the bottom of his building, “Then I… will go up.”

Chuzheng held onto his hand, not letting go, and pulled him back by the neck.

Jih Cheng’s breath hitched briefly, “Someone might see…”

“Then go up,” Chuzheng released him.

Jih Cheng: “…”

Once upstairs, Jih Cheng hadn’t even switched the lights on when Chuzheng pushed him against the door and kissed him.

After kissing him, Chuzheng didn’t seem to intend on leaving.

Jih Cheng’s cheeks felt warm, so he went to the bathroom to wash his face first.

“Aren’t you going home?”

Chuzheng lay on his sofa, showing no sign of moving.

“Can’t I sleep here?” Going back would require going downstairs, then upstairs… Such a hassle.

And no Good Person Card kiss.

What’s the point of going back!

“There’s only one bed in my place,” Jih Cheng’s voice was low.

“Mhm.” One bed is enough for sleeping! I’m quite small!

“…” What does “mhm” mean?

Jih Cheng’s mind inexplicably drifted to the peaceful night they shared a bed at the countryside lodge, his ears heating up, his fingertips tingling.

[Miss, wouldn’t you dare to speak your inner thoughts out loud?] Even the King’s Account couldn’t stand watching anymore.

Why would I say it out loud? Don’t I want to maintain an image of grace and aloofness? You vile creature, your intentions are malicious!

Isn’t Miss Zheng being covertly passionate?

Definitely!!
