First date

  "You've liked me for over a year? So you ran to the dormitory building under the instigation of Huo Guangbo and called me out? And you even yelled for more than 10 minutes!"

  Looking at Wang Zhengyu's sincere appearance at this time, Mo Xiaoyao suddenly felt a warmth in her heart.

  "Yes! I've never confessed to a girl before, he's more experienced, so I listened to him!" The conversation between the two made Wang Zhengyu involuntarily recall the awkwardness of that night, and his voice became smaller as he spoke.

  "Oh? You can't be telling me you've never had a first love before!" Mo Xiao Yao said disbelievingly.

  Wang Zhengyu smiled wryly and shook his head, saying: "To be honest with you, there really isn't. Your roommate also said that we're poor and have no face, so we can only be good people!"

  When Wang Zhengyu said this, Mo Xiaoyao saw that he was really hurt by his roommate's words and suddenly felt a pang of sympathy in her heart. She opened her mouth and said, "Don't say that, you're actually not bad! You can even practice traditional Chinese medicine, and your skills are so exquisite. If Taozi and the others knew about your talents, they wouldn't say such things about you! And I've never been in a relationship either, I don't think it's a big deal!"

  At this time, with the heavenly book by his side, Wang Zhengyu had just finalized a 20 million contract over the phone with Xu Yihong, an internet big shot. What would he care about Mo Xiaoyao's roommate's sarcastic remarks? It was the girl's last sentence that suddenly got Wang Zhengyu excited, and he immediately plucked up the courage to say shamelessly: "Oh? Is that so? How coincidental! We've never been in a relationship before, why don't we try it out together and see what it feels like to be in love?"

  "Hmm?" Apparently, Mo Xiao Yao was a girl who easily blushed, and Wang Zheng Yu's words made her blush again. However, this time she didn't immediately refuse, but instead hesitated for a moment before sincerely saying: "Don't be in such a rush, okay? I'm not even prepared to fall in love yet, let alone understand you. How about we start as friends first? Is that alright?"

  Although Mo Xiaoyao did not explicitly agree to Wang Zhengyu, at least she did not directly refuse like last time. This was enough to make Wang Zhengyu excited. He nodded repeatedly and said: "Of course, we are friends now! It's almost lunchtime, I'll invite you to lunch to celebrate that I have another friend! After lunch, it's just right to go see your grandfather!"

  This time Mo Xiao Yao did not hesitate and nodded her head very quickly.

  ……

  Sitting in a small northeastern restaurant to the west of Jingjiang Hotel, Wang Zhengyu's mood was worlds apart from the previous day. The happiness that lingered in his heart made him feel like even the fog outside the window that had not yet dispersed seemed exceptionally fresh and clean.

  Wang Zhengyu's life has been quite dull, and he doesn't seem to be as mature as most post-90s kids. He spent most of his adolescence in a daze, accompanied by the internet.

  I also had a crush on a deskmate for a period of time in high school, but unfortunately, I got a sharp-eyed class teacher who changed our seats before my feelings could become real, directly cutting it off.

  Finally managed to get into university and have the freedom to fall in love, but ended up with a terrible roommate like Huo Guangbo. His social circle is so small, basically all the girls who are considered good-looking in his circle have been monopolized by this playboy Huo Guangbo.

  Until he developed a crush on Mo XiaoYao and it lasted for more than a year, yet he neither gave up nor dared to confess.

  The reason is simple. As far as he knows, he is absolutely not the first boy to have a crush on Mo Xiaoyao, nor will he be the last. Unfortunately, every boy who confessed to Mo Xiaoyao was rejected without exception, including those who were more handsome and richer than him.

  So Wang Zhengyu continued to hold onto his one-sided love, yet hesitated to confess. Until he was encouraged and supported by Huo Guangbo in various ways, he finally gathered the courage on the eve of National Day, with a heroic and unyielding heart, to let out the most uninhibited shout of his life under the girls' dormitory building.

  Unfortunately, it ended in tragedy after all.

  Just when Wang Zhengyu had given up and thought that the two of them would probably never have any intersection again, Mo Xiaoyao appeared in front of him once more, and even agreed to start as friends.

  This feeling of losing and regaining is enough to make Wang Zhengyu's hormones, dopamine, and other neurotransmitters secrete at a high level. The irrepressible joy is enough to ignite the passion of his youth that has been dormant for many years.

  So Wang Zhengyu had a great time eating this meal, and his mouth became as fluent as Huo Guangbo's possessed body, able to speak eloquently. It was so funny that the girl opposite him couldn't stop laughing out loud.

  This incomparable joy lasted until Wang Zhengyu took out his wallet to pay the bill.

  "Hello, that's a total of 138 yuan!" The waiter handed the order menu to Wang Zhengyu, who was in a daze.

  Mo Xiao-yao suggested this restaurant is not a big deal, the three dishes and one soup insisted by Wang Zheng-yu are not particularly wasteful, and the final 138 RMB is absolutely not expensive.

  It wasn't until he reached for his wallet that Wang Zhengyu realized that he, who was about to become a multimillionaire, only had more than 50 yuan in cash on him, apart from two 200,000-yuan checks.

  What is called "extreme joy begets sorrow"? This is it, looking at his own empty wallet, Wang Zhengyu suddenly had the urge to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

  The clever girl with icy eyes looked at the young man opposite her, who took out his wallet with a flourish, and suddenly had an expression like constipation. What situation couldn't be guessed? At this point, she naturally opened her small bag, pulled out 200 yuan and handed it over, saying cutely: "Forgot to bring money again? Old rules, double the amount back to me!"

  Wang Zhengyu let out a sigh, he naturally knew that the girl was only saying this in front of the service staff to help him save some face. However, Wang Zhengyu didn't care about losing face in front of the service staff; what he cared about was that today was the first time he had invited Mo Xiaoyao out for dinner and it ended up being such a mess.

  Wang Zhengyu took the money and said with a bitter face: "Next time I forget to bring something, I will absolutely not forget to bring money!"

  Walking out of the restaurant under the waiter's disdainful gaze, Wang Zhengyu suddenly felt that fate was really a **. He was full of expectation when he went to confess, but it brought him down to the bottom of his life. Just when he had lost all hope, Mo Xiaoyao was sent in front of him again, teasing him. When he had a perfect start, this kind of misfortune happened, which really made him feel very unhappy.

  "Alright, you're a celebrity now, aren't you? You won't feel too ashamed to show your face just because of 200 yuan, will you?" As they walked out of the restaurant, Mo Xiaoyao looked at the unhappy expression on the young man's face and comforted him.

  "This is the first time I've taken you out for dinner!" The girl's understanding made Wang Zhengyu feel even more melancholy.

  "Are you just planning on treating me to this one meal?" Mo Xiao Yao said with wide eyes, feigning surprise and looking extremely cute.

  Looking at the girl's lovely appearance, Wang Zhengyu unconsciously put his hand on his head and scratched it, thinking without thinking, he opened his mouth and said: "Of course not, I plan to invite you to dinner every day from now on!"

  The words of affection that slipped out made Mo Xiaoyao's face turn red again, and she gave Wang Zhengyu a white eye, no longer speaking.

  At this subtle moment, Wang Zhengyu's mobile phone suddenly rang, "Master, master, Old Huo is calling!"

  The soft voice from the phone attracted the girl's attention. Mo Xiaoyao turned her head to look, but due to the angle, she could only see a figure on Wang Zhengyu's phone screen, holding up one hand and shaking the phone in his hand like offering a treasure.

  After connecting the phone call, Wang Zhengyu briefly chatted with Huo Guangbo for a couple of sentences, informed him of his whereabouts, and then hung up the phone amidst Huo Guangbo's lewd laughter.

  "Is your phone voice-controlled? Can I take a look?" asked Mo Xiaoyao beside him curiously.

  The ringing sound of the mobile phone can be recorded by oneself, but when Wang Zhengyu answered the phone, he just uttered a casual sentence to answer it and directly connected the call, which made Mo Xiaoyao curious.

  "This is a voice-controlled mobile APP function, after installation, you can control the phone with your voice!" Wang Zhengyu explained proudly.

  To give Mo Xiao-yao a more intuitive experience, Wang Zhengyu also brought his mobile phone in front of Mo Xiao-yao for on-site demonstration.

  "Sesame, open!"

  "Voiceprint verification successful, master, what can I do for you?"

  The screen lit up, and then Mo Xiaoyao, dressed in OL attire, appeared on the phone screen.

  "Cough! Cough! Cough!"

  Wang Zhengyu glanced at the girl beside him with a look of astonishment, feeling that today was truly embarrassing. He had only wanted to offer his treasure to alleviate the awkwardness of forgetting to bring money to pay the bill, but he had forgotten that the image on his phone's screen was designed by Tian Shu, that guy with a bad sense of humor, referencing Mo Xiao Yao's appearance...

  Another awkward moment...

  ……

  It's okay, Mo Xiaoyao's phone rang at this time, the girl took out her phone, answered a few words, and after hanging up the phone, she broke the awkward atmosphere between the two.

  "My grandfather just arrived. He just had dinner with Mr. Zhang and others, and is now resting at the hotel. He asked me if you have time to see him now!"

  Wang Zhengyu immediately felt relieved and quickly replied: "Then let's hurry up and go, don't keep the old man waiting!"
