Li Yingying pouted, feeling the world was incredibly unfair. Why hadn't she met such a good man?
Looking at Chen Dong's profile, she felt a sense of familiarity. She took out her phone and opened Penguin.
She clicked on a photo her aunt had sent—it showed a young, handsome man holding scissors for a ribbon-cutting ceremony. The photo wasn't particularly clear, but she could vaguely make out that the person looked very similar to Chen Dong.
"Yingying, this is the young man your aunt told you about, Chen Dong. This is the second supermarket he's opened, called East Victory Supermarket."
Li Yingying felt her mouth dry. Her little heart found it hard to bear everything that had happened today.
It was only the first day of school; did it have to be this intense?
Fortunately, the car quickly arrived at Du Mao Plaza. The four beautiful girls followed behind Chen Dong.
Chen Dong, meanwhile, continuously held Xia Xuehan's delicate hand, giving her a full sense of security.
Dongpo Roasted Meat, a relatively popular barbecue restaurant.
There were no private rooms, so they could only sit in the main hall. The moment Chen Dong and his group entered the barbecue restaurant, they instantly attracted many people's attention.
The men all cast envious glances. One man with four girls—that was too amazing. Truly a role model for their generation!
"Just these kinds of meat, let's order a bit of each," Chen Dong said, handing the menu to the girls.
"Dongzi, you pick."
Chen Dong ordered a pile of meat and some lettuce.
Under the table was a charcoal basin, with an opening in the middle of the table where an iron rack was placed. They just needed to put the meat on the iron rack to grill it.
It was somewhat similar to self-service barbecue, offering the experience of doing it themselves.
Plates of meat were brought up, and Chen Dong started cooking.
Beef, pork belly, chicken wings—they were arranged neatly, then sprinkled with cumin and chili. In no time, a fragrant aroma wafted up.
"It's ready to eat. Wrap it in some lettuce, otherwise, you'll get tired of it after two pieces."
Chen Dong picked up a piece of beef, wrapped it in lettuce, and handed it to Xia Xuehan, dotingly brushing the strands of hair from her forehead behind her ear.
"Here, try it."
"Mm-hm." Xia Xuehan's tender cheeks flushed, and she lowered her head slightly, a wave of sweetness welling up in her heart.
Taking a bite, the fragrance of the lettuce mixed with the aroma of the beef—it was a taste she had never experienced before.
"How is it? Does it taste good?"
"Mm, it's very delicious. Dongzi, you eat too."
Xia Xuehan brought the beef she had taken a small bite from to Chen Dong's mouth, and he opened wide, taking the entire piece in one bite.
The table instantly fell silent. The three roommates quietly watched the couple displaying their affection, feeling as if they were already full.
Xia Xuehan, whose skin was already very thin, then realized their actions were too intimate. Her entire face instantly began to burn, and even her earlobes turned red.
"Don't just watch, eat!" Chen Dong had thick skin and paid no mind to the three girls' gazes.
Zhang Ruolan, with a beauty score of 71, was considered a pretty girl in the eyes of ordinary people, but Chen Dong, accustomed to grand meals, naturally wasn't interested. Moreover, the system didn't allow him to flirt with girls with beauty scores below 80, otherwise it would affect his charm.
Although Jiang Ziyi and Li Yingying each had their own unique charms, Chen Dong was not a man who wanted every woman he saw; he wasn't lacking in women.
Furthermore, a rabbit doesn't eat the grass near its burrow, and he certainly had no intentions toward Xia Xuehan's roommates.
But he might have overlooked one point—women in this era had fully awakened, and many of them were extremely bold, wanting to pursue their own happiness.
Chen Dong not actively flirting with others didn't mean others had no thoughts about him!
Zhang Ruolan knew her looks were far inferior to Xia Xuehan and the others. A rich young man like Chen Dong certainly wouldn't be interested in her, so she didn't have many thoughts.
But Jiang Ziyi and Li Yingying each harbored their own intentions, nurturing their own little desires for a high-quality man like Chen Dong.
At 7 PM, Chen Dong dropped the four girls off downstairs at the girls' dormitory.
Jiang Ziyi and the other two consciously went upstairs first. Chen Dong stayed downstairs, holding Xia Xuehan's soft hand. Not far away, several other couples were also reluctantly saying goodbye.
"Dongzi," Xia Xuehan said, lowering her head reluctantly, her lips slightly upturned, feeling a little wronged.
"If you miss me, just call me. It's very convenient for me to come over, or if I don't have time, I'll send a driver to pick you up."
Chen Dong ruffled her beautiful hair, "Go on up. Get along well with your roommates, but don't let yourself be wronged.
No matter who it is, if anyone dares to bully you even a little, call me and tell me. I'll teach them a lesson."
"Mm, I know." Xia Xuehan mustered her courage, stood on her tiptoes, and lightly kissed Chen Dong on the cheek, then, blushing, turned and ran into the girls' dormitory.
On the 5th-floor railing, Jiang Ziyi and the other two watched everything happening downstairs, covering their mouths and laughing.
"Wow, how sweet, Xuehan!" Xia Xuehan was surrounded by the three as soon as she appeared at the dorm room door.
"I'm going to unpack first." Xia Xuehan really couldn't resist their fiery gazes.
"Xuehan, tell us, how far have you and the handsome Chen developed?" Don't let Jiang Ziyi's usual cold demeanor fool you; she was the most enthusiastic when it came to gossip.
"What do you mean, 'developed how far'?" Xia Xuehan's cheeks flushed slightly.
"I mean, you and Dongzi, have you slept together?"
Xia Xuehan could hardly withstand such a direct question, but she wasn't good at lying, so for a moment, she didn't know how to answer.
"Wow, Xuehan, you haven't already done 'that' with Dongzi, have you?" Li Yingying, seeing Xia Xuehan's expression, also became interested. She leaned her head closer, her face full of gossip.
"Xuehan, tell us, what does it feel like?"
"I, I still need to unpack." Xia Xuehan quickly took out the skincare products Chen Dong had prepared for her from her suitcase, one by one, intending to put them in the bathroom.
"Alright, stop asking. Can't you see Xuehan is shy?"
Although Zhang Ruolan was also full of curiosity, it was their first day meeting, and asking such private questions was truly impolite.
"Wow, these skincare products look so high-end! Did Dongzi buy them all for you?"
Li Yingying immediately shifted her focus, holding the large and small bottles on Xia Xuehan's desk, her eyes full of envy.
"Holy moly, this is Chanel perfume, I'm not mistaken, am I?" Jiang Ziyi immediately spotted the two most expensive small bottles of perfume among them.
"It's really Chanel Chance Eau Tendre! This bottle must cost tens of thousands, right?"
"Xuehan, you're so lucky! I envy you so much. When will heaven grant me such a perfect boyfriend...?"
Xia Xuehan was not a vain person, but humans are social creatures. Who doesn't hope to gain others' approval and make others envious of them?
Xia Xuehan was no exception to this. Although a blush hung on her face, her lips curved slightly upward, and a warm current of happiness welled up in her heart.
"Ding-dong! Congratulations, Host! Your intimacy with Xia Xuehan, a female with a score over 90, has reached 100!
System unlocks new function: Self-Scan.
Self-Scan: Can detect the Host's various metrics, allowing for targeted enhancement."
It can do that? Chen Dong immediately activated Self-Scan.
