Chapter 6 The shameless enjoy the world first.
No sooner had Qi Jiahao left than Li Xingzhi, like an acrobat, came over carrying three plates.
"Brother Cheng, what did that show-off Qi Jiahao say to you just now?"
"Like a dog trying to catch a mouse, he actually thinks he can use his stinking money to force me to apologize to Xia Ning—"
As Zeng Cheng spoke, he flicked the brand-new hundred-yuan bill in his hand.
Li Xingzhi immediately pouted, his face full of disdain, and said, "Brother Cheng, you're not going to agree, are you? If you are, I'll really look down on you. Can't you be like me, uncorrupted by wealth and status?"
Zeng Cheng rolled his eyes at the kid: "Go away, how could I possibly agree? I told him that apologizing was out of the question. If you keep arguing, I'll release my cicadas to bite you." Then he slunk away, forgetting even to take the hundred yuan.
"Pfft, this guy is always all bark and no bite, I despise him the most..." Li Xingzhi chuckled for a moment before realizing what he meant, his expression turning indignant. "Brother Cheng, what do you mean by letting me bite him? You think I'm a dog?"
"Bao—" Zeng Cheng flicked the banknotes in his hand again, his expression smug, "What would you say if I said we'd split this money in half?"
After a two-second silence, Li Xingzhi uttered two words: "Woof woof."
To be fair, the book says that one should be wealthy but not licentious, but it doesn't say that one can't bark like a dog.
He has thoroughly understood the subject of dialectics.
Yu Baiwei transferred to Dezhou No.1 High School from Shanghai in the first semester of her senior year.
She had been studying for more than half a year, but she had never eaten in the school cafeteria—her nanny would deliver meals to the school on time every mealtime.
Today is the first time she has refreshed the school cafeteria.
In May, the Shuzhou Basin is already very hot, with temperatures often soaring to 30 degrees Celsius. The semi-enclosed environment of the canteen, with so many students, is naturally even more stuffy.
But the moment she stepped into the cafeteria, many people felt as if a cool breeze was gently caressing their faces.
Yu University's campus belle is indeed Yu University's campus belle; she managed to carve out a touch of coolness from this sweltering early summer.
The cafeteria quickly erupted in chaos.
"Am I seeing things? This...this is Yu, the campus belle?"
"She...she actually ate in the cafeteria?"
At a national key high school like Dezhou No. 1 High School, students are focused on their studies and wouldn't be so bored as to create lists of school beauties and hunks.
Students with exceptionally high looks may receive more attention, but that's about it.
Even someone as beautiful as Xia Ning never received the title of "school beauty".
However, there are always exceptions—Yu Baiwei is that Only-Exception.
She's such a supermodel; her looks, figure, achievements, and family background are all off the charts.
So soon after she transferred to the school, she became the only and undisputed beauty queen of Dezhou No. 1 High School.
Many teenagers' eyes fell on Yu Baiwei, accompanied by hushed discussions.
However, after Yu Baiwei's cool, crescent-shaped eyes swept over them, these guys all lowered their heads, some even blushing on the spot.
This is what numerical monsters are like.
Although she had no intention of doing so, she always managed to use her beauty to commit crimes.
"Yu, the school beauty, is really as aloof as the rumors say. I doubt any boy in the entire Dezhou No. 1 High School would dare to sit at the same table with her, not even the girls!"
"Yeah, her aura is just too strong..."
As the boys were whispering among themselves, they saw one of them stand up and wave at Yu Baiwei.
Yu Baiwei had a stern face after entering the cafeteria, but a slight expression appeared on her face when she saw Zeng Cheng.
Her sharply defined lips twitched slightly, and her willow-leaf eyebrows also lifted slightly.
The boys felt their hearts skip a beat.
Is Yu Da's campus belle smiling?
The spring breeze, oblivious to romance, stirs the heart of a young man. At this moment, the beautiful Yu's gentle smile is like that irritating spring breeze.
But who is that guy waving at Yu Baiwei?
It's not necessarily true that the campus belle Yu came to have dinner with him.
Under the watchful eyes of many questioning people, Yu Baiwei actually walked over to Zeng Cheng and sat down next to him.
The eyeball shattered and was scattered all over the ground.
It would be appropriate to have the Chairman make an appearance here.
I don't understand (Fenghua accent) --
Not to mention others, even Li Xingzhi's eyes widened to their physiological limits.
Cheng asked him to get three meals, and one of them was actually for Yu, the school beauty...
These two are completely unrelated, when did they get together?
It's not that Li Xingzhi looked down on Zeng Cheng, but rather that the gap between the two was simply too great.
To be honest, aside from being a little handsome, Cheng Ge is nothing special, if not unremarkable.
Yu Da's campus belle is a flower on a high mountain, a goddess of the ancient Gushe Mountain, who should be displayed on a cliff for thousands of years!
Doubts may exist, shock may be astonishment as it may be, and I may not understand as I may not understand, but objective facts do not change according to subjective will.
Yu Baiwei, for the first time ever, came to the cafeteria, and actually did come to eat with Zeng Cheng.
"Eat it while it's hot—"
Zeng Cheng waved to Yu Baiwei, then took the lead in starting his own car.
Which seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy isn't a reincarnated starving ghost?
Yu Baiwei frowned as she watched Zeng Cheng eat, thinking that even Dou Dou ate more politely than him—Dou Dou was her family's Border Collie.
Zeng Cheng's eating habits may be unsightly, but he easily stimulates the appetite of those around him.
So Yu Baiwei also picked up her chopsticks, took a shredded potato, and slowly stuffed it into her rosy lips.
The food cooked in the school cafeteria can't possibly be very tasty.
It's also impossible for it to be as refined as what Yu Baiwei's family chef makes.
The ingredients are incomparable.
However, refinement often implies blandness.
The food in the cafeteria was more likely to whet Yu Baiwei's appetite.
Gradually, she ate faster, her rosy lips glistening with oil droplets, yet her eating manners remained so refined, vividly illustrating what "that damn elegance" truly meant.
As for Li Xingzhi, he said he felt like he was walking on thin ice.
Not to mention being as relaxed as Zeng Cheng, he even forgot how to eat.
"Are you crazy? Eat up!"
He only picked up his chopsticks after Zeng Cheng tapped him, but he was still very awkward about it.
She was afraid that her eating manners would be bad and annoy Colonel Yu—although Yu Baiwei had only glanced at him briefly from beginning to end.
That's right, most boys in this age group have a lot of inner monologues.
Zeng Cheng must have noticed Li Xingzhi's embarrassment and Yu Baiwei's restraint hidden beneath her aloof exterior.
So he took the initiative to start a conversation.
He glanced at the stunning profile of Yu Meiren beside him.
"Yu, I thought you weren't coming."
Yu Baiwei glared at Zeng Cheng, and only spoke after confirming that there was no food in her mouth.
"Zeng, keeping your word is a basic quality of being a good person."
"I agree with that," Zeng Cheng nodded and smiled slightly, "especially since we're friends, we should be even more committed to keeping our promises!"
They say older men have a lot of tricks up their sleeves.
Yesterday afternoon, Yu Baiwei only agreed to have dinner with Zeng Cheng, but she didn't agree to be friends with him at all.
Zeng Cheng, however, has already taken it as a fait accompli and is now specifically bringing it up to emphasize it.
There's a saying—the shameless enjoy the world first!
A look of wariness immediately surfaced in Yu Baiwei's clear, crescent-shaped eyes: "Zeng Cheng, do you really want me to be your friend?"
Pay attention here—answering "yes" or "no" is not appropriate.
The former makes people think you have ulterior motives, while the latter makes people think you are hypocritical.
What is the correct way to play?
Let's invite Mr. Zeng to come out and share his experience with everyone.
"Yu, I believe in fate. We were complete strangers just three days ago, and now we're having dinner together. It might just be destiny's arrangement... So it's not a matter of whether we want to or not. Becoming friends should be a natural progression."
The wariness in Yu Baiwei's eyes gradually faded—clearly, Zeng Cheng's answer had earned her a high score.
On the other hand, Zeng Cheng's words, while somewhat formulaic, were not without sincerity.
He genuinely just wants to be friends with this sect's holy maiden and then take advantage of her as much as he can.
As for whether they will develop into lifelong best friends, what does that have to do with him now?
Let me emphasize this again—this is dialectics!
Li Xingzhi at best mastered this thing, while Zeng Cheng successfully applied what he learned.
