2: Chapter 2: Unbridled Royal Control!

Inside the dormitory.

Han Bingqing excitedly threw her phone onto the bed, hopped down, opened her closet, and began carefully selecting an outfit for her meeting with Shen Zhou later.

Since she was in the girls' dormitory, Han Bingqing was dressed quite daringly at the moment.

She wore a small camisole on her upper body, revealing her fair neck and faintly visible collarbones, while her full chest resembled rolling mountains.

On her lower body, she wore a pair of shorts that revealed her long, straight, beautiful legs, perfect in proportion and with smooth lines.

Every step she took looked like she was walking a runway.

Her skin was fair and translucent, like porcelain lying in the sun.

Her long hair cascaded over her shoulders like a waterfall, smooth and silky, with a few strands clinging to her cheeks, which she casually tucked behind her ears.

"Which one should I wear?"

"I have no new clothes to wear; I have to go browse the clothing stores again."

Han Bingqing looked at her closet full of clothes and furrowed her delicate brows.

For girls, if all the clothes in the closet have already been posted on Moments, then there are no new clothes.

"There's only this one new piece left."

Han Bingqing took out a dress; it was the stepmother dress that was very popular online, and she had jumped on the trend to buy one.

"But will wearing this make Senior Shen unable to take his eyes off me?"

"However..." Han Bingqing bit her lip with her pearly white teeth, a smile forming at the corner of her mouth: "Being able to see Senior look like that seems quite nice, actually!"

Han Bingqing harbored vague feelings for Shen Zhou.

After all, back in school, Shen Zhou's appearance stood out even among the many handsome men and beautiful women in the Art Department.

And he was also overflowing with talent.

Even now, college professors often use Shen Zhou as an example in their teaching.

However, Shen Zhou had established a relationship with Lu Qinglian early on, and on top of that, Lu Qinglian was always on high alert, guarding him strictly.

So, Han Bingqing had always maintained a sense of propriety.

But today, Shen Zhou actually took the initiative to suggest eating together for the first time, and even hinted that Lu Qinglian wasn't around today.

This made Han Bingqing feel even more restless and eager.

Han Bingqing went into the bathroom to change, and when she came out, she couldn't help but admire herself in the mirror.

The upper part hugged her full chest tightly, perfectly showcasing her proud curves, while the deep V-neck design boldly released signals of sexiness, adding a touch of allure.

The lower skirt flared out naturally from the middle of her thighs, the smooth lines perfectly connecting with her long, straight, beautiful legs.

The entire outfit could be described as full of careful schemes.

Suddenly, a pair of hands reached out from behind and hugged Han Bingqing's slender waist.

"Oh, oh, oh, our beautiful department belle Han has already changed into her battle gear? Which junior is about to suffer?"

Giggling sounds filled her ears.

The person who came was Han Bingqing's roommate, Tang Xue.

Tang Xue rested her shoulder on Han Bingqing's, looking into the mirror, her hands wandering unrestrainedly up and down, while she joked: "How is a little junior supposed to handle this? Even I, a girl, am about to be obsessed with you!"

Han Bingqing slapped away Tang Xue's little hands, annoyed.

"I'm not interested in juniors."

"Oh? Then it must be a senior, huh?" Tang Xue blinked her big eyes, her face full of gossip.

Han Bingqing applied some light makeup while saying: "You're such a gossip. I'm just going to have a meal and ask a few questions along the way."

"A meal? Which cafeteria? I'll go act as your bodyguard. As long as that senior dares to get handsy, I'll go and chase him away!"

Tang Xue waved her little fists.

But this look had no deterrent effect at all; instead, it looked more like she was going to deliver herself as a snack.

"It's not a cafeteria; it's off-campus, not too far, it's called something like Yunyan Restaurant."

Han Bingqing said casually.

As soon as she finished speaking, Tang Xue's movements paused, surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she looked at Han Bingqing suspiciously.

"Bingqing, do you not know about Yunyan Restaurant?"

"I don't know, isn't it just a restaurant? Is there something special about it?" Han Bingqing asked.

As the department belle, Han Bingqing had many suitors and had been to some nice places.

But after all, she was still a student, and there weren't many places she could afford to frequent.

Tang Xue grabbed Han Bingqing's shoulders and said seriously: "Bingqing, that's Yunyan Restaurant! A high-end private restaurant! I heard the chefs there come from all over the world and are proficient in all kinds of cuisines!"

"I've heard that whether it's the taste, service, or environment, it ranks among the best in Shanghai, it's just that the cost is something ordinary people can't afford!"

Han Bingqing was stunned; she really didn't know these things.

Seeing Han Bingqing stunned, Tang Xue hurriedly stepped forward to shake her a few times, saying in an exaggerated tone: "Bingqing, you're done for; you're about to fall in love!"

"What nonsense are you spouting?"

Han Bingqing rolled her eyes at her, annoyed: "He has a girlfriend!"

Tang Xue smirked: "It's only exciting to score a goal when there's a goalkeeper!"

"What is in your head all day long!"

Han Bingqing reached out and poked Tang Xue's head.

"Ding!"

Just then, Han Bingqing's phone vibrated.

She thought it was a message from Shen Zhou, but when she opened it, half of her good mood instantly vanished.

"Bingqing, do you have time today? Let's grab a meal together?"

This was a boy who had been pursuing her recently; his family background was decent, but Han Bingqing had no interest in him.

He wasn't as handsome as Shen Zhou, he wasn't as talented as Shen Zhou, and now it seemed he might not even be as wealthy as Shen Zhou!

Han Bingqing had blocked this guy before, but he would change to a new phone number every few minutes to keep texting her, and even though Han Bingqing always left him on read, he was tireless.

So Han Bingqing couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him.

After deleting it as spam, she picked up her bag, turned around, walked out of the dormitory, and headed to the restaurant.

Yunyan Restaurant.

The interior decoration was low-key, luxurious, and had depth, which satisfied Shen Zhou very much.

As soon as Shen Zhou walked into the restaurant, a pretty Waitress immediately came up to greet him.

"Sir, how may I help you?"

Her smile was gentle and pleasant to look at.

"I booked lunch for noon!"

"Alright, sir, please provide your mobile number, and I will check it for you right away."

Shen Zhou gave his mobile number. After the Waitress checked and confirmed, her smile became even more respectful: "Is it Mr. Shen? May I ask if Mr. Shen would like to dine in the main hall or a private room?"

"I am still waiting for someone, let's wait in the main hall for a while!"

"No problem!"

The Waitress arranged a seat for Shen Zhou where he could keep an eye on the restaurant entrance at any time, and served a glass of warm water.

This service was impeccable!

Shen Zhou couldn't find a single fault with it so far.

This was money well spent!

At this moment, two young men walked in from outside. One of them seemed to be a regular here; they discussed while finding a seat to order.

"It's such a pity about earlier; we didn't even get contact information for such a beauty!"

"For one with such high looks, you can't take her down without some solid strength!"

"But I'm handsome!"

"Being handsome needs to be paired with talent or wealth to be a winning hand; playing it alone just makes you a clown."

"Sigh, don't mention it, it hurts. If it weren't for you treating me, buddy, I wouldn't even be able to get in here."

It sounded like two frenemies roasting each other.

Shen Zhou listened to it as a way to pass the time.

However, handsome men love beauties, and beauties also love handsome men.

Back then, it was precisely by relying on his handsome face and talent that Shen Zhou made Lu Qinglian pursue him actively.

The next second, a beautiful figure walked in from the door.

In an instant, she attracted many people's gazes.

It was Han Bingqing.

Han Bingqing looked around and saw Shen Zhou sitting not far away, smiling and waving at her.

Even though she hadn't seen him for a long time, seeing Shen Zhou, Han Bingqing still had that heart-fluttering feeling, her heart pounding wildly.

After adjusting her mood slightly, Han Bingqing walked towards Shen Zhou.

The two young men sitting nearby also saw this scene and immediately became excited.

"Look, look! Isn't that the beauty from earlier?"

"Is she walking towards us? I told you, how could I, being so handsome, not attract a beauty!"

"Watch me go up and give a gentlemanly invitation!"

After saying that, when Han Bingqing passed by him, one of them stood up directly, revealing a confident smile.

"Beauty, can I have your..."

Before he could finish, Han Bingqing walked straight past him without even sparing him a glance.

The young man's smile froze directly on his face.

"Senior Shen, I've kept you waiting!"

Han Bingqing walked straight to Shen Zhou, gently lifted the hem of her stepmother dress with her right hand, slowly bent her knees, and sat down gracefully, her legs naturally crossed. The simple action exuded a mature charm.

Shen Zhou sighed inwardly that Han Bingqing really hadn't changed a bit; she was unbelievably seductive!

Pure-hearted Xiao Chu men would be held firmly in her grasp.

But unfortunately, Shen Zhou was not one of them; he only knew how to floor the accelerator.

Seeing that Shen Zhou's expression hadn't changed, Han Bingqing said somewhat unconvinced: "Senior, can't you show some reaction? I specially wore a new outfit today!"

"If I show any more reaction, I'm afraid someone's heart will break!" Shen Zhou joked.

That guy from earlier was still standing and hadn't sat down yet.

"Pfft!"

Han Bingqing covered her mouth and giggled, her full chest trembling slightly with her laughter.

"Senior, but look, other people's eyes are full of envy for you. Don't you enjoy it?"

Come to think of it, this feeling was actually quite satisfying!

What tea art master, she's clearly my good little sister!

Shen Zhou stood up and said: "Didn't you want to ask me some questions? Let's find a quieter private room and sit down to chat in detail."

"I'll listen to whatever Senior says!"

Han Bingqing stood up and naturally hooked her arm around Shen Zhou's.

Shen Zhou glanced at Han Bingqing's small movement.

In the past, with Lu Qinglian around, Shen Zhou would intentionally keep his distance.

But now, since he was living life indulgently, who wouldn't want to enjoy something good?

Not active, not refusing, not taking responsibility!

The two followed the Waitress towards a private room on the second floor.

Crack!

When Shen Zhou passed by the young man, he vaguely heard a crisp sound.

It was as if something had shattered.

It seemed to be a broken heart.
