No One Can Compare to Him

A few minutes later, Liu Bo and Chu Qiunan emerged from another street.

They were accompanied by two girls walking hand-in-hand.

The four of them chatted as they walked, looking like old friends.

"They're here."

Su Yang looked towards the group approaching. He automatically ignored Liu Bo and Chu Qiunan, his gaze settling on the two girls walking beside them.

These two girls were decent-looking, but they didn't reach the level of Wang Shuyue and Chen Chen, probably only around a 70 to 75 out of 100.

One of them was wearing extremely short denim hot pants, while the other wore a black miniskirt with black over-the-knee stockings.

About ten seconds later, the four of them walked over quickly.

Liu Bo looked at everyone and said with a smile, "We're here. These are the teammates I found."

"What do you mean you found them? I found them!" Chu Qiunan glared at Liu Bo.

Seeing them about to start bickering again, Zhang Ziming quickly interrupted, "Hey, you two, could you introduce our new friends first? It's rude to leave them standing there."

"Oh, right, right." Liu Bo turned to the girl in the black stockings and miniskirt and introduced, "Let me introduce everyone. This is Zhang Jie."

Zhang Jie smiled brightly at Su Yang and the others and said warmly, "Hello, everyone~ Nice to meet you!"

"Hello, hello."

Chu Qiunan then introduced the girl in the ultra-short hot pants. "This one is Du Wenli. She's with Zhang Jie."

The girl named Du Wenli also greeted everyone warmly.

Su Yang took this opportunity to confirm their looks in his mind.

—System, check.

[Zhang Jie, Appearance: 71]

[Du Wenli, Appearance: 73]

—Just as I estimated.

After everyone got acquainted, Meng Wenzhou said, "Alright, now that we're all here, let's go eat."

"Okay, let's go."

The twelve of them walked, chatting and laughing, following Zhang Ziming, who had made the restaurant reservation.

"Is it far, Ziming?"

Zhang Ziming shook his head. "Not far. Just on the next street, a few hundred meters."

"Good."

On the way, the six girls automatically formed a small group, chatting and laughing as they walked behind the guys.

Chu Qiunan had already noticed the most beautiful one, Ren Lingxi, earlier.

After giving everyone another once-over, he quickly moved to Su Yang's side and asked in a low voice, "Old Su, don't tell me the most beautiful one, that sister Lingxi, is your teammate?"

Su Yang glanced at Chu Qiunan, nodded, and smiled. "That's right."

"Holy crap, you, you, you!!"

"What's wrong?"

"Where did you find such a top-tier resource? I walked several streets and didn't see anyone at that level. I feel this girl is even slightly better than our four campus belles!"

"I just found her while strolling down this street."

"Phew~" Hearing this, Chu Qiunan took a deep breath.

He finally understood what it meant to be infuriated by comparing oneself to others.

"Do you have some kind of peach blossom charm on you? Or did you pray at a temple?" Chu Qiunan said, starting to pat Su Yang down.

Su Yang swatted his hand away and shot him a look. "What are you groping for? I told you I just ran into her on the street. I don't have any peach blossom charm."

"So how come the one you found is so beautiful, she's practically a fairy. Her face, her figure... tsk tsk, if she went into acting she'd be a perfect leading lady."

As the two were talking, Liu Bo also walked over quickly.

"What are you two whispering about?"

"I was asking Old Su how he has such good luck with women."

"Haha, I've told you many times, don't compare yourself with Brother Yang on this, no one can beat him."

"I'm not comparing! I just want to learn and discuss with him, and maybe absorb some of his insane lady-luck aura."

Liu Bo glanced back at the six girls chatting and laughing behind them: "Brother Yang, that girl named Ren Lingxi is the one you found, right? I just saw her sitting with you."

Su Yang nodded: "Yeah."

"See, I knew you wouldn't let us down. Even picking someone at random, you manage to find someone who rivals our own girlfriends."

"I don't agree with that~" Chu Qiunan retorted.

"You don't agree? You mean you don't think she's good-looking?"

Chu Qiunan shot Liu Bo a sidelong glance: "What I mean is, this Ren Lingxi is even prettier than Pan Pan and Qianyu."

"Well, I wouldn't go that far. Let's just say they each have their own charms. But it's a shame, such a top-tier beauty isn't on your team~"

"Ah, just not my fate, I guess. Looks like I really need to hang out with Old Su more often, properly soak up some of his romantic luck."

......

The group chatted as they walked, soon arriving at the Old Fatty Yak Hot Pot restaurant on another street.

The restaurant was grand and imposing, much larger than many other eateries on the street, with a total of four floors. Many red lanterns hung over the main entrance.

Numerous chairs were placed outside the door, currently occupied by a crowd waiting for their table numbers.

Looking at the shop name on the signboard, Su Yang joked, "Hey Fatty, you didn't open this place, did you?"

"Me?"

"Look at the name."

Liu Bo looked up and read: "Old Fatty... Hot Pot."

"Damn, 'Fatty' wasn't enough, had to be 'Old Fatty'? But no, it's not mine. If I opened something, it'd definitely be a bathhouse!"

"That could work too. Free foot massages from then on."

Bantering, they reached the entrance. Zhang Ziming took a number, and the twelve of them found seats outside to wait for their call.

After about twenty minutes, the in-store broadcast finally called Su Yang's group's number.

Everyone followed a server inside.

The place was huge; just the first floor had dozens of tables filled with diners. Steam rose from the hot pots, filling the air with a hazy mist. Combined with the cacophony of voices, the atmosphere was bustling and full of life, incredibly lively.

They followed the server upstairs and soon entered a large private room.

The room was similar to most restaurant private rooms: a large round table, a sofa lounge area, plus a separate restroom.

Everyone went to the round table and took their seats. The girls instinctively sat next to their respective partners.

Zhang Ziming added a few extra orders of yak meat slices and other specialty side dishes to their group purchase deal.

After ordering, the server hurried off. Half an hour later, the private room door opened, and a server came in with a trolley to serve the dishes.

Soon the table was laden with an array of delicious food. In the center sat the star of the show: the wild mushroom and yak meat hot pot.

Ren Lingxi sat beside Su Yang. Her eyes were fixed unwaveringly on the hot pot on the table, and she kept swallowing her saliva.

Su Yang smiled and asked, "Hungry?"

"Yeah, I'm hungry." Ren Lingxi nodded with a reverent gaze fixed on the table full of delicious food.

Seeing her expression, Su Yang thought to himself, 'Now this is a true foodie, showing such reverence for good food~'

He gave a slight smile. "Then eat plenty later. You'll need the energy for fun tonight."

"I won't hold back~"

Everyone chatted while they waited, and a few minutes later, the hotpot broth finally came to a rolling boil.

Since they would be driving after the meal, Zhang Ziming didn't order any alcohol, opting instead for several pitchers of freshly squeezed juice.

He proactively stood up to pour drinks for everyone, while Ji Bo served the rice.

Once that was done, Zhang Ziming raised his glass and said with a smile, "Alright, before we eat, let's have a toast with our juice standing in for wine. Even though it's our first time meeting, the fact that we're all sitting here eating together today is fate. From now on, we're all friends."

"That's right, come on, let's all do this together," Liu Bo chimed in, raising his glass as well.

"Okay~" The girls also cooperatively picked up their glasses.

After everyone took a sip of juice, they dug into the meal.

Because the table was quite large and the hotpot sat in the middle, it was a bit far from the seats, requiring one to reach a little further to pick up food.

This table setup was somewhat inconvenient for the shorter girls.

Noticing Ren Lingxi was having a bit of trouble, Su Yang tilted his head and asked, "What would you like? I'll get it for you."

"Beef~" Ren Lingxi said, her eyes fixed on the hotpot.

Su Yang nodded, reached out with his chopsticks, and picked up several slices of cooked yak meat, placing them into Ren Lingxi's bowl.

Ren Lingxi smiled politely. "Thank you, Brother Su Yang~"

"Huh? Changing how you address me again? You keep switching it up."

"Hehe, I just tried it out in my head, and I think calling you 'Brother Su Yang' feels more natural."

Su Yang gave a faint, unconcerned smile. "Alright, call me whatever you like, it's all good. Now hurry up and eat, try the flavor."

"Okay, you eat too." As she spoke, Ren Lingxi picked up a cold seasoned preserved egg from in front of her and placed it in Su Yang's bowl.

Seeing this, the other boys also started helping the girls beside them pick up food.

Chu Qiunan, in particular, was closely observing Su Yang's every move throughout, hoping to glean some tips on charming girls.
