Chapter 191: Xin Ya

"Manman, have you packed your things? I’m coming to find you."Shang Yu saw the video from Yu Manman’s account and guessed that she was almost done packing, so he called her.

"All done! Brother Shang Yu, come over! Let’s explore the campus later!"

You always need to figure out where the classes and dining halls are, right?

"Alright." Shang Yu chuckled lightly, "I’ll be there soon, and I’ll let you know when I’m downstairs at your apartment."

Yu Manman listened to Shang Yu’s magnetic voice and felt her ears tingle.

She suddenly thought, Brother Shang Yu is so gentle, if he becomes my beast husband in the future, I think I’d like that.

Then she shook her head, "Stop thinking about it! Anyway, there’s no rush!"

As long as she finds a beast husband before she’s twenty-five!

Yu Manman propped her chin up and sighed, "Time really flies."

It seemed like she grew up in the blink of an eye.

[Xiangxiangmiao: Manman, come down, I’m here.]

Yes, Yu Manman’s note for Shang Yu was ’Xiangxiangmiao.’

Isn’t it true, Brother Shang Yu is just like a fragrant kitty!

[Manman: Okay!]

Yu Manman opened the door to her room, just as Wu Yingyue was coming out from across the hall.

"Yingyue, are you going out too?"

Wu Yingyue nodded with a sweet smile, "Yes, my fiancé’s come to see me."

Yu Manman was surprised, "Yingyue, you already have a fiancé?"

She thought Wu Yingyue seemed about the same age as her!

"Yeah." Wu Yingyue didn’t find it strange at all, "I have three fiancés now, all arranged by my family. They’re all very good to me, and we’ve known each other since we were little."

Wu Yingyue didn’t mention that her family was planning to arrange more for her.

Though she didn’t know the others as well, her father asked her to interact more at school, and as long as she didn’t dislike them, she’d probably agree.

"Do you like them?" Yu Manman was a bit curious, family arrangements?

When Yu Manman was at home, her mom and dads were open about the topic, but they didn’t discuss it often.

The general idea was that as long as she liked the other person and they had no character flaws, they wouldn’t oppose it.

Wu Yingyue had a fleeting look of confusion in her eyes, "They’re pretty good..."

She was used to her family’s arrangements; her friends were carefully selected by her family, and anyone with ulterior motives would be blocked. Even her major was arranged by her family, and she didn’t find anything wrong with that.

Her father was good to her.

Yu Manman nodded slowly, not probing further into the topic.

Every family has its style, and everyone has their way of life. Some people like to explore, while others prefer peace. She didn’t want to judge others’ lives lightly.

"Well, I’m off!" Yu Manman carried a small pearl bag and went downstairs.

She immediately spotted Shang Yu standing not far away.

However, he was currently surrounded by a few females.

With her excellent hearing, she overheard their conversation.

"Hey handsome, want to be friends?"

"No." Shang Yu replied coldly.

Usually, Shang Yu seemed this way to outsiders, appearing like a graceful gentleman but keeping his distance, especially from unfamiliar females.

——Maintaining gentlemanly virtue...

Yu Manman couldn’t help but remember this phrase and couldn’t hold back her laughter.

Shang Yu heard Yu Manman’s laughter, "The person I’m waiting for is here, please move aside."

He bypassed the females and walked up to Yu Manman, "What are you laughing at?"

His tone suddenly became gentle, a stark contrast to just moments ago.

"Nothing." Yu Manman shook her head with a smile.

"I thought you were laughing at me being surrounded." Shang Yu’s words carried an unintentional sense of grievance, the kind reserved for someone very familiar.

Yu Manman chuckled, "Sorry, I got held up just now. What can I say, our Brother Shang Yu is just too attractive, drawing in butterflies?"

Listening to Yu Manman’s teasing tone, Shang Yu was somewhat helpless.

Manman had no idea about his feelings for her; to her, he was just a very good friend...

"Alright, let’s go. We’ll take a quick look around first, then go eat."

"Let’s go, let’s go!"

As they walked away, the females behind them commented, "So, he has someone he likes, what a pity..."

"But I guess it makes sense if he’s waiting for someone here. It’s probably for someone he likes."

Yu Manman’s ears twitched as she glanced at Shang Yu, opening her mouth.

"What’s wrong?"

Shang Yu turned to look at Yu Manman.

"Nothing..." In that moment, Yu Manman wondered if what those females said could be true—did Shang Yu like her?

But Yu Manman didn’t want to ask.

It seemed she wasn’t willing to disrupt the relationship between her and Shang Yu.

If Brother Shang Yu did like her, how would she respond? Accept or reject?

Yu Manman felt a bit lost and thought she might be being a bit narcissistic.

What if Brother Shang Yu just saw her as a sister?

"Hmm." Shang Yu’s eyes showed a hint of disappointment.

He knew Manman’s excellent hearing, and if he heard it, she surely did too.

But Manman didn’t ask him, did that mean she liked him too?

Shang Yu’s gaze flickered.


No matter what, he would try his best!

He believed that his competitiveness was stronger than other males!

They explored the nearby teaching buildings and finally went to the cafeteria.

The cafeteria was beautifully decorated, with cabinets selling various nutrient solutions for those in a hurry, but mostly it sold all kinds of food.

Yu Manman ordered a bowl of ramen and scanned her campus ID.

Thanks to her status as an A-level Purification Master and being the top scorer in the college entrance exam, her campus account had a ten thousand yuan balance recharged by the school, which was enough for her to eat and drink for a year!

"Not bad..." Yu Manman nodded in approval.

No wonder it’s Jiuzhou University!

"Yu Manman!"

After eating, Yu Manman leisurely left the cafeteria and suddenly heard a sharp voice from behind.

Shang Yu frowned, immediately stepping in beside Yu Manman.

Yu Manman turned around, and her good mood from just finishing her meal was half gone.

It was her again...

"This is between her and me, none of your business! Get lost!" The female glared at Shang Yu harshly.

Her followers also tried to block Shang Yu.

With one strong move, Shang Yu flipped one of them to the ground without even moving his feet.

The other follower looked shocked, cautiously watching Shang Yu.

"Shang Yu!" the female stomped angrily, "Yu Manman, don’t hide! Come out and face me! If you keep hiding, I’ll keep finding you! Now that you’re at Jiuzhou University too, let’s see where you can hide!"

Yu Manman stepped out from behind Shang Yu, "Xin Ya, what do you want?"

Yu Manman felt a bit helpless; Xin Ya had already caused her trouble several times.
