Chapter 1139: Chapter 494: The Awkward Shared Table at the Hot Pot Restaurant

Ever since Shen Yu learned about the complicated and chaotic relationship between Zhou Yuwen and several girls, she originally wanted to distance herself. However, to be honest, after leaving Zhou Yuwen’s circle, Shen Yu felt somewhat bored. Neither Zheng Yanyan nor Su Qing seemed to notice Shen Yu’s intentional distancing, as they all had their own things to do.

On the contrary, Shen Yu noticed that Su Qing had flown overseas to study, while Zheng Yanyan and Lu Lin were free every day, either flying to Sanya for fun or going to Xi’an.

To be honest, the main social circle in university is still centered around the dormitory. No matter how well you get along with others, there’s always a sense of a barrier, unless you knew each other from high school. Otherwise, your university classmates are never as close as your roommates.

So, after distancing herself from Zheng Yanyan and the others, Shen Yu thought about making friends with other people, but in their eyes, Shen Yu was ultimately an outsider.

Now, Zhou Yuwen personally invited her.

Shen Yu thought about it for a moment and decided to go. She figured she would just maintain a simple friendship and not get involved in any emotional entanglements. She told Zhou Yuwen, “I might need to go back to the dorm to change my clothes.”

At this time, Shen Yu was still wearing her hosting dress.

Zhou Yuwen said, that was definitely not a problem.

So the group waited for Shen Yu to go to the dormitory to change clothes.

The gathering tonight could only be considered a small get-together with Zhou Yuwen, Zheng Yanyan, Lu Lin, and Shen Yu.

Shen Yu returned to the dormitory, leaving the remaining three chatting downstairs.

It was nearly nine o’clock, and the stars were sparse in the sky.

As the saying goes, the moon is rounder on the sixteenth, not just on the sixteenth day itself but around the Mid-Autumn Festival. Like today, the sky was cloudless, with only a full moon hanging high.

The campus was filled with the scent of osmanthus.

While chatting, Zhou Yuwen and the others couldn’t help but reflect on the changes of the past year.

Yes, unknowingly, a year had passed. So much had happened that year. Originally, they were a large group, with Zhou Yuwen’s dormitory and Zheng Yanyan’s dormitory all involved.

Now, Zhou Yuwen was the only one left among the guys.

And on the girls’ side, Su Qing had left for overseas.

Zheng Yanyan brought up the topic.

She was expressing her feelings, pouting and saying that she used to find it bothersome teasing with Su Qing all the time, but now that Su Qing was gone, she kind of missed it.

Lu Lin said, oh? Really?

“I thought you missed Chang Hao instead~”

“What are you talking about~”

Hearing this, Zheng Yanyan burst into laughter and chased after Lu Lin, saying she was going to beat her up, and mentioned, she hadn’t even talked about Lu Lin and Li Qiang, so why was she making jokes about her?

“I have nothing with him, ”

“Ew~ where’s your Qiang?”

Both Chang Hao and Li Qiang’s names were too unfamiliar, and even Zhou Yuwen needed a moment to recall, oh right, those two were his roommates.

Before long, Shen Yu came down with a change of clothes.

On the summer night, Shen Yu wore a white shirt paired with a grey pleated skirt, and her long white legs appeared particularly striking on this summer night.

“Sorry to keep you waiting~”

As they walked out of the dormitory building, Zhou Yuwen noticed that Shen Yu’s hairstyle was slightly curled.

When Shen Yu was hosting on stage earlier, her hair was put up, so Zhou Yuwen didn’t pay much attention. Now, seeing Shen Yu with her hair down, he casually asked, “Did you get a perm?”

Hearing this, Shen Yu pursed her lips slightly, looking a bit helpless.

Zhou Yuwen was puzzled as to why she had this expression.

But Zheng Yanyan suddenly burst into laughter and said, “Honey, didn’t you realize even now, she permed it at the end of last semester?”

“Really? How come I don’t remember?” Zhou Yuwen had a look of complete bewilderment.

Shen Yu felt even more helpless, saying, “Sigh, you can hardly keep track of your girlfriends, let alone remember me!”

Hearing this, Zheng Yanyan and Lu Lin laughed, while Zhou Yuwen was left a bit embarrassed by her words and suggested they hurry to eat.

And with that, they went ahead.

Zheng Yanyan called out from the back, “Honey, why are you running away, afraid of our teasing?”

Zhou Yuwen said, “Could we not use that title here at school, please?”

“I insist, I insist!”

A man in his thirties being called “Honey” by Zheng Yanyan in such a public setting was somewhat embarrassing after all.

Following behind, Shen Yu listened and laughed.

She thought, perhaps interacting in this way was pretty good, without the need to deliberately avoid things.

At around nine, it was just the time when evening self-study ended, and many students had just come out of the cafeteria. Shen Yu, now the vice president of the student council, was quite well-known. In a short span, many people greeted her.

And there were quite a few discussions about Zheng Yanyan.

“That’s the Minister of the Cultural Department, Zheng Yanyan.”

“She looks much better in person than in photos!”

“I’ve heard that she’s the only sophomore at our school who’s become a minister!”

Zheng Yanyan still had her old habit of loving the limelight; when she heard people talking about her, she’d raise her head high, looking like a proud mother hen.

In the crowd, Zhou Yuwen also spotted some familiar faces, like Liu Yue and her boyfriend, walking hand in hand past.

This somewhat surprised Zhou Yuwen, as he thought they were having some issues?
