My brother pays and I provide labor

  In the private room of the restaurant, Shen Yao sat down beside Di Yu on her own initiative, which made everyone doubt again. He Meng tentatively asked: "Yao Yao, did something happen between you and Di Yu this afternoon?"

  "This afternoon, my newly bought bag was stolen by a thief. Fortunately, Di Yu helped me chase it back." Shen Yao recounted the events of the afternoon in detail, much clearer than Di Yu's explanation to Ma Hao.

  As soon as Di Yu showed off his skills, bravely catching the thief, Ma Hao slammed his hand on the table and exclaimed: "Brother Yu, I really didn't expect you to be so skilled! It seems that last time's Shaolin Fist manual was thoroughly studied by you and actually came in handy? Quickly tell me, when you were fighting with the thief, did you use 'Tiger Crane Double Form' or 'Mount Tai Pressing Top'? Since it's so useful, next time I'll also go to the library to borrow it and practice for two months."

  "It's not as exaggerated as you said, coincidentally, coincidentally." Di Yu was covered in black lines. Last time he did borrow a book on Shaolin Kung Fu, but it was just to read for fun, what effect could practicing according to the book have?

  "No way, I think your skills are quite good, ordinary detectives may not be able to compare. However, why did you run so fast later on? It seemed like I was going to eat you up or something." Shen Yao looked at Di Yu with a somewhat accusatory gaze, and that's exactly what she felt about him at the time.

  "How could I? I remembered that the book I borrowed from the library was overdue, so I walked a bit faster." Di Yu said innocently.

  "Eh, I can testify to this. At that time, Di Yu rushed back to the dormitory and the first thing he did was to return books to the library." He Meng listened to the two of them and found it very amusing. When Di Yu returned to the dormitory, he just greeted her and then went to the library to return books, without any extra eye contact. She had thought that she wasn't charming enough, but now that she knew Shen Yao received the same treatment, she felt much more at ease. She naturally spoke up for Di Yu and also secretly pitied this bookworm."

  Di Yu's explanation was not believed by Shen Yao at all, but He Meng said so, and she had to half believe it.

  "Hehe, Yao Yao, I heard from people in their dorm that this guy is a bookworm, the most important thing he does every day is reading." He Meng whispered to Shen Yao with a smile.

  Bookworm? Shen Yao couldn't believe that someone who could deal with a thief so easily would be a bookworm.

  "By the way, why are we eating at such a high-end place today? Is there something to celebrate?" Ma Hao suddenly said, staring at Huang Shaofeng and Yun Lei, feeling that Huang Shaofeng was somewhat different today.

  "Of course it's a good thing! You don't know, do you? Shaofeng's father gave him some money to start his own company, get familiar with business matters, and accumulate some experience before taking over his dad's company." said Qin Ming.

  "It's not entirely like that, mainly because I myself want to start a company, and this money can be considered as borrowed from my dad." Huang Shaofeng explained. His father wanted him to go work in the family business, get familiar with some things on the business scene, but Huang Shaofeng wanted to try his hand at entrepreneurship.

  "No way, you guys just entered university and want to start your own business, that's too awesome!" He Meng's face showed a look of admiration.

  "What's so fierce or not, I'm not afraid of you guys laughing at me. In the end, it's destined to be this way, whether it's earlier or later doesn't make a difference. Hehe, Qin Ming has already agreed to join forces with me, does anyone want to invest? Let's share the fortune and misfortune together!" Qin Shao Feng patted his chest and laughed, this time his old man just let him try out the business waters, also test himself in these murky waters, see if he had what it took to do business, didn't think he'd achieve anything amazing, so spoke very casually.

  "Not bad! Today everyone gathers together, and I also want to ask Ma Hao and Di Yu if you have any intention of joining? Of course, if the three beauties are interested, they can also participate, unlimited welcome." Huang Shaofeng smiled at Ma Hao and Di Yu.

  Before he could finish speaking, Shen Yao and He Meng shook their heads in refusal.

  Ma Haogang initially showed some excitement, then looked embarrassed and said: "I'd better not join in the fun with you guys, how can I be compared to two big masters like you? I still don't have enough money to buy a car until now."

  Ma Hao was quite self-aware, his family had some money, but to take out a large sum of money to do business, especially compared to Qin Ming and Huang Shaofeng, it was simply impossible.

  "Xiao Bai! You're not right to say that, mainly because the four of us are happy together. Talking about money is hurtful. Whatever you can take is whatever, even if you don't give a cent, Qin Ming and I won't say a word if we split the shares equally!" Huang Shaofeng had an attitude of brothers not discussing money, very dissatisfied with Ma Hao's words.

  In the dormitory, the four of them naturally had a good relationship, and when they went out to eat, Huang Shaofeng and Qin Ming would always fight over who paid the bill, never keeping track. Ma Hao was a bit embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Since you've all said so, I'll take out my 'savings'! If we really make money, I won't ask for more than my share of the profits. Let's agree on this first, brothers are brothers, you can't let me be taken advantage of, right? Today there are so many beautiful girls here, at least give me some face, or they'll think I'm someone who takes advantage of his brothers."

  "Alright, brother!" Huang Shaofeng burst out laughing. He then turned to Di Yu and said: "Di Yu, what about you?"

  "I? Haha, I have no money, I'm not capable, and I'm not interested. I won't participate — hey, don't say I'm not a good brother, if the company opens and invites me to eat and drink for free, I'll definitely come!" Di Yu's words made everyone burst out laughing, and Huang Shaofeng couldn't say anything more. Di Yu's three reasons were indeed all reasonable, especially the third one. Since he said he had no interest, it was natural that they couldn't force him.

  Qin Ming heard that Di Yu was not participating and said with a disappointed face: "Ah, actually we value your diligence the most! We wanted to let you help out at the company and exploit your labor, but didn't expect you to refuse so bluntly!"

  "Haha!" Qin Ming's words made everyone laugh even harder and deeply agree! Di Yu often reads books that give them headaches and make them drowsy, and he can sit still for several hours without moving, something they might not be able to do even if they were wearing shackles.

  Such people are diligent and can endure hardships. If they really start a company, Di Yu will definitely be able to help out.

  Di Yu burst out laughing and said: "This is no problem, I don't have much else, but I do have a bit of strength, let me help you guys with some odd jobs, moving things around is no issue."

  "It's settled then!"

  A meal was eaten very happily, with three beauties accompanying, and the topics of conversation were numerous, ranging from heaven to earth, nothing was left unspoken, even Shen Yao and He Meng, who were not too familiar with the crowd, had a lot to say.

  After eating for nearly two hours, when it was time to settle the bill, Shen Yao wanted to pay, but Huang Shaofeng and Ma Hao firmly refused. With so many people saying that Huang Shaofeng would treat them, if Shen Yao were to pay the bill, they would lose face if others found out.

  As they came out of the restaurant, Qin Ming glanced at everyone and said: "It's still early, we're going back to participate in the game competition. Are you guys coming with us or playing for a while longer before leaving?"

  "It's still quite early, why don't you guys head back first?" He Meng suggested.

  Huang Shaofeng glanced at Di Yu, He Meng and Shen Yao, saying: "Since that's the case, then let Di Yu represent our dorm to accompany these two beauties for a bit. Lele, are you coming back with me?"

  "I'll go back and see what kind of firewall Di Yu's friend installed for Xiao Bai." Yun Lei still remembered the time when Di Yu's friend helped fix Ma Hao's computer, so she agreed to go back with her boyfriend.

  "Ah, sister, you're not going with me? Then I'll go back with you too."

  He Meng said she wanted to take a walk, then said she wanted to go back. She turned around and looked at Di Yu and Shen Yao, saying: "Di Yu, I'm counting on you to accompany our school flower, remember to protect her well. If the people chasing after her find out, be careful or you'll have endless trouble!"

  Seemingly threatening, but actually creating an opportunity for Di Yu and Shen Yao. Shen Yao didn't understand her roommate's intentions, knowing she was testing her, yet Shen Yao didn't object, remaining silent.

  Di Yu originally wanted to go back with them, but seeing Shen Yao didn't say a word, he naturally couldn't object, so he shrugged his shoulders to indicate it was no big deal.

  Soon, Huang Shaofeng and his gang threw Di Yu and Shen Yao down without hesitation and drove away with a screech.

  "Where are we going now?" With no one else around, Shen Yao became even more relaxed and spoke up first.

  "I don't care, where do you want to go?" Di Yu asked.

  "It's not far from school anyway, let's just walk back?" Shen Yao said.

  "Good." Shen Yao said what he meant and didn't have many thoughts about it.

  Shen Yao felt a little disappointed, and Di Yu seemed to have no interest in being with her. She asked softly, "I feel like you don't really want to talk to me?" Thinking of the scene where Di Yu quickly left in the afternoon, this suspicion was not unfounded.

  "No!" Di Yu turned his head and looked at her, saying: "I just haven't thought of what to say yet. Usually most of the time I'm alone reading books, rarely strolling with such a beautiful girl like today."

  Shen Yao slightly smiled and asked, "You've never been on a date with a girl before?" As soon as she finished speaking, she realized her mistake. Did that mean the two of them were now considered to be on a date?

  Di Yu seemed to have ignored Shen Yao's slip of the tongue and didn't respond, instead falling into deep thought.

  Seeing Di Yu's eyes were a bit off, as if recalling some painful things, making people feel melancholy. Shen Yao looked at him and asked softly: "Are you thinking of your girlfriend?"

  Di Yu smiled slightly and spread his hands, making it impossible to understand what he meant. However, he smiled with great difficulty, which Shen Yao was very sure of.

  Shen Yao felt that Di Yu had a secret. Previously, when Huang Shaofeng and others were discussing the company's affairs, she could see that Di Yu didn't seem to be interested in it because of lack of money or ability, but rather because he wasn't interested. In Di Yu's eyes, sometimes Shen Yao saw sadness, sometimes wisdom, especially a kind of seemingly unintentional yet all-knowing gaze that made her feel strongly curious about him.

  "Let's go back." Shen Yao said with a sweet smile.

  "Hmm...? You'd better go back yourself!"

  Di Yu suddenly said something that made Shen Yao very surprised, and then he saw him quickly leave in the direction of a tall and beautiful woman. Di Yu rushed towards her, and Shen Yao's face sank. Di Yu's actions were too hurtful!

  For another girl, she was abandoned!

  The plot is slowly unfolding, and those who didn't enjoy it at first can get into it now.
