I rejected your confession, but you took my best friend home?

Chapter 288 On the first day of moving in, shouldn't we bless the new bed?

"Ah...she is..."

Just as Yin Mengran was about to introduce them, she saw Jing Yu take off her mask and hat, nod slightly to Zhou Heng, and smile gently.

"Hello, I'm Jing Yu. Um... I was invited to have dinner with you. You don't mind, do you?"

Jing Yu whispered, wanting to see Zhou Heng's reaction...

With so many beautiful women surrounding him this week... even without knowing his background, it's clear he's no ordinary person...

Then there's no need to think about it; Zhou Heng is definitely the one who keeps his word among these people.

Zhou Heng was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Yin Mengran beside him. Yin Mengran nodded to him.

Zhou Heng hadn't expected that Yin Mengran and the others would be involved with this Jing Yu.

"Ah...it was my wife who invited me, of course I don't mind, let's go together."

Zhou Heng was surprised, but he didn't refuse. After all, it was Yin Mengran's decision, so he naturally wouldn't say anything.

The group found a restaurant and decided to have dinner there.

Zhou Heng's presence with five beautiful women drew envy from the other diners in the restaurant, who began speculating about their relationship...

The group went to a private room, where it was quieter. If they had gone to the main hall, they would have been surrounded by onlookers and gossip.

After they sat down, the girls started chatting, but Jingyu still couldn't quite join in...

After all, the four of them were already quite familiar with each other, while I had only recently met them. It would be rather strange to force myself to get involved...

But she felt a little awkward sitting there alone...

Zhou Heng was sitting there playing on his phone, and Jing Yu thought, if all else fails... maybe I should chat with Zhou Heng?

But how do you find topics to talk about? If you don't choose good topics, it'll be even more awkward...

After hesitating for a moment, Jing Yu slowly opened her mouth and asked, "Um... Zhou Heng, what does your family do?"

"Ok?"

Jing Yu's words made Zhou Heng look up in a daze, and even the four girls stopped chatting and looked at Jing Yu in surprise.

Jing Yu suddenly paused, looking at the group with some surprise, and stammered, "Uh...wh...what's wrong?"

She thought it was a good topic...

Based on her observations, she guessed that Zhou Heng's family must have some connections. Normally, if she asked him a question, he should be able to answer, right?

Now it seems like... I asked a really presumptuous question... Is it really that bad?

“My family… runs a small business.” Zhou Heng nodded and replied softly.

"Oh..."

Jingyu was surprised by Zhou Heng's humility and low-key demeanor. Shouldn't he have been more open and honest about what his family did?

Could it be?

Jing Yu thought of a terrible possibility: Could it be that Zhou Heng's family business was something shady?

Is it an illegal business? That seems unlikely. So, is it a business that skirts the edge of the law?

Yin Mengran then realized that they had neglected Jing Yu somewhat. After all, they had invited her to dinner, so they should at least take care of her.

"Jingyu, you must be quite busy with work, right? Do you have time to go to school?"

Yin Mengran asked a question, and Jing Yu, hearing her speak, turned around and replied:

"Well... I've turned down most of my work assignments. I only attend really important ones. I still want to continue my studies as a student..."

Tang Zhi joined in, saying, "You've worked really hard too. I remember you debuted when you were 14, right? You played a role in a pretty popular TV series back then."

"Hmm...it's alright, a little hard work is nothing."

Jingyu looked back on her past and realized that it had indeed passed by quite quickly.

It felt so fast that she felt like she had experienced everything, yet also nothing at all...

She experienced things that her peers didn't, but didn't receive what her peers would receive.

Today, starting school on her own, she went to an unfamiliar school, made unfamiliar friends, and ate out with so many people. These were all first-time experiences for her, but for others, they were commonplace.

Yu Lingxue rested her cheek on her hand and looked at her, saying, "You seem like a nice person, not at all pretentious."

"Of course... I'm just an ordinary person. There are many people more capable than me, so how could I dare to be arrogant?"

Jing Yu's words seemed to have been approved by everyone, and the others nodded in agreement....

"Then you can interact with us more in the future. Anyway, you and Tang Zhi are roommates. Just get along well with them. They are all very nice people."

Yin Mengran pointed to Tang Zhi and Yu Lingxue standing to the side.

"Yes! I know you're all very nice people, and I'm happy to be friends with you..."

After the food was served quickly, the group ate dinner together, chatting quite a bit along the way.

Jingyu gradually became more involved, occasionally chiming in with a few words. Yin Mengran also took good care of her, chatting with her.

The conversation was also very measured; Yin Mengran knew exactly what to talk about and what not to talk about, and Jing Yu gradually opened up.

She told them a lot about her past, so that Zhou Heng and the others could understand that Jing Yu's past was not so happy.

Having such a great reputation at such a young age is not necessarily a good thing.

After dinner, everyone went back together. Tang Zhi and the others went back to their dormitories.

Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran returned to their residence.

It was already past 8 p.m. when they returned to Junheng Building. The security guard at the entrance immediately opened the door after seeing Zhou Heng.

All the staff in the building are now aware of Zhou Heng's existence.

Professor Han's exact words to them were: "When people come here, it's like they're coming home. No one is allowed to stop them or ask them any questions."

Back in their room upstairs, Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran sat on the sofa to rest, looking up at the ceiling in silence for a long time...

As if reflecting on the events of that day, they officially became university students from this day forward.

After a while, Yin Mengran looked at Zhou Heng beside her and said, "Let's go take a shower. Do you want to go first or should I go first?"

Zhou Heng slapped the sofa, stood up, and said:

"Together."

Yin Mengran paused for a moment, then instantly understood what she meant. She pursed her lips and whispered:

"Ugh... honey, we have military training tomorrow... it's so tiring..."

"So what? It's the first day we've moved in, shouldn't we give the new bed a blessing? Let's go!"

Without a word, Zhou Heng picked up Yin Mengran and turned to walk towards the bathroom...

Yin Mengran hugged Zhou Heng's neck, her ears turning red, and whispered:

"I wonder if the soundproofing here is good..."
