Chapter 129: Weather Forecast? Why Does It Sound Like a Love Letter? “What? Dating? Me and him?!” In the third bedroom on the north side of the hot spring hotel, Ding Yue, who had just woken up, let out a strongly disdainful retort. “That’s what Jiang Zhou said…” “I can see it now. You’ve been completely won over by him. Whatever he says, you just believe it.” Feng Siruo looked at her pitifully as she got out of bed. “Where are you going?” Ding Yue scratched her head. “Aren’t we going back to school? I haven’t had lunch yet, so I’m going to eat. You eaten?” “Mhm, I ate with Jiang Zhou.” “Jiang Zhou, Jiang Zhou, Jiang Zhou. You can’t go three sentences without mentioning that hateful guy!” Ding Yue was as irritable as a barrel of oil about to explode. That frustration came from forcing herself to stay up all night. But she still remembered the unresolved duel from yesterday. Next time she caught Xu Haodong, she definitely wouldn’t let him off. It would be a fight not only for victory but for life and death! After muttering through her wash-up, Ding Yue dragged Feng Siruo down to the hotel’s first-floor restaurant. They drank tea, chatted, and before long the whole morning had passed. After lunch and group photos, Class 3 got on the return bus, slowly leaving the hot spring town. Overall, the trip had been a success. A few couples had even been brought together. But once the excitement of travel faded, all that remained was emptiness and fatigue. So on the bus ride back, the sound of snoring rose and fell. Apart from that, there was only silence. Compared to the trip out, the liveliness was worlds apart. By then, Feng Siruo was drowsy. She accidentally leaned on Jiang Zhou’s shoulder. In her sleep, she felt unexpectedly comfortable, and after shifting around for a better spot, she sank into a deep slumber. When they returned to Shangjing University, the autumn air had thickened, and the temperatures in mornings and evenings had dropped sharply. Taking advantage of the still-manageable weather, Jiang Zhou wandered over to Qingbei University. The autumn scenery of the university town was stunning, beautiful beyond words. Chu Yuwei obediently followed behind him, walking along the lake toward the student club center. “Jiang Zhou, is this necklace really fake?” Jiang Zhou yawned. “Fake. That old man wanted a hundred for it, I bargained it down to thirty.” Chu Yuwei nodded lightly. “Actually, a hundred isn’t too much. It sparkles so nicely.” “You’re not worth a hundred yet. Maybe when you grow up more. That’s why I only bargained to thirty.” “You stinky Jiang Zhou! I’m not as little as you say I am!” Chu Yuwei stomped her foot in anger but still trailed close behind, afraid of being left behind. Soon, they reached the activity room of the Part-Time Job Club. Its president was surnamed Wang, with the given name Shan. She had been organizing student part-time work for over three years. The Ganfanren promotion was the biggest business she had ever taken on. This time, Jiang Zhou had come with money to settle accounts. After all, the Qingbei University promotion for Ganfanren was nearly finished. Jiang Zhou could be shameless in many ways, but one thing he couldn’t stand was owing people money.

Jiang Zhou nodded politely. “We may still need off-campus promotion in the future. If your club is interested, we can continue working together.” “That would be great. After all, other part-time jobs aren’t stable, and most students don’t want them.” “Then let’s talk in December. We can find a place to sit down.” Wang Shan nodded, then her eyes were drawn to Chu Yuwei. “This must be Student Chu? Our school’s new campus beauty?” Chu Yuwei blushed. “No, no, that’s just what other people say.” “And you and Jiang Zhou… are you boyfriend and girlfriend?” Hearing that, Chu Yuwei instinctively glanced at Jiang Zhou. She didn’t know how to introduce herself. She wasn’t really his girlfriend… was she? “Is that such a hard question to answer?” Jiang Zhou grinned. “Sure, let’s say she’s one of my many girlfriends.” Wang Shan thought he was joking. After all, so many boys liked Chu Yuwei. Winning her heart would be a blessing from the heavens. Who wouldn’t treasure that? “Hey, Student Chu, is that the latest IDO clover necklace?” Chu Yuwei looked down at her necklace. “It’s fake. Uh, no, it’s a high-quality imitation.” Wang Shan shook her head with a smile. “You’re too modest.” “Don’t forget, I used to work at a jewelry counter.” Chu Yuwei froze. “So… what are you saying?” Wang Shan leaned closer for a look. “This is real diamond. The cut and clarity aren’t top-tier, but it’s definitely real.” “Of course. I wouldn’t mistake it.” Chu Yuwei turned to the spot where Jiang Zhou had been standing, but he was already gone, walking leisurely out of the room. “Senior Wang said it’s real. Why did you lie to me?” “So what if it’s real? You can still wear it. Same as fake. Don’t be picky!” What kind of twisted logic was that?! Chu Yuwei was nearly speechless. “I mean… why would you spend so much money on me?” “Didn’t I tell you? You’re worth it. Stop nagging, it’s annoying!” Chu Yuwei bit her lip, warmth flooding her heart. That was exactly the kind of man she liked. Always pretending to be cold and unreasonable, but every time you were with him, you realized you had no idea just how good he was to you.
