"Living here is really comfortable. The scenery is beautiful, and the air is fresh. Except for shopping being a bit inconvenient, everything else is great."
Su Yang was muttering to himself when Shen Yixue, who was walking in front, turned around and smiled. "What are you mumbling about? Walk a bit faster."
"What's the rush? Isn't taking a walk just about strolling slowly?"
"Come up and walk with us."
"Alright, right away. I'm just finishing my cigarette." As Su Yang spoke, he happened to see a trash can by the side of the road.
He stepped forward, put out the cigarette butt, and threw it into the bin.
After throwing away the cigarette, he quickened his pace and caught up behind the three of them. At this time, Pan Ning was walking in the middle, while Shen Yixue and Meng Qianyu walked on her left and right sides, holding her arms.
Seeing this, Su Yang asked, "Where do I stand?"
"Come, come, come, you can stand between me and Pan Pan," Shen Yixue said, letting go of Pan Ning's arm with a smile.
Just as Su Yang was about to step forward, Meng Qianyu on the right also hurriedly let go of Pan Ning's hand and shouted, "Brother Su Yang, come stand between us."
Su Yang turned his head, looked left and right, and smiled helplessly. "No, seriously, which side do I stand on?"
"Stand by me!" Shen Yixue shouted.
"Stand by me!" Meng Qianyu chimed in.
Caught between the two, Pan Ning reached up to cover her ears. "I say, what is there to fight about? Isn't it the same wherever he stands?"
"No, he has to stand on my side!"
"I want Brother Su Yang to stand on my side!"
Speechless, Pan Ning turned her head and looked at the two of them. "How about this, let Su Yang choose for himself."
Saying that, she looked at Su Yang and smiled. "You choose."
Su Yang scratched his head. "If you guys do this, I can't choose either side. If I choose Yixue's side, I'll offend Qianyu. If I choose Qianyu's side, I'll offend Yixue. Forget it, I'll just follow behind you guys and enjoy the sweet scent of your perfume. That way, I won't offend anyone."
Pan Ning smiled. "Did you hear that? He's walking behind us. Let's just leave it at that and keep moving forward."
"No way! The four of us are a group, we have to walk side by side!" Meng Qianyu shouted.
Pan Ning sighed helplessly. "How about this then? You two play rock-paper-scissors. Whoever wins, he stands on her side."
"Alright, let's do it." Shen Yixue and Meng Qianyu were women of action. They stepped out and prepared to play.
"One round determines the winner, no cheating, okay?"
"Absolutely no cheating."
"Deal."
As they spoke, they started chanting.
Rock, paper, scissors!
Su Yang and Pan Ning looked down, only to see Shen Yixue throwing paper and Meng Qianyu throwing rock.
"Haha!! Qianyu, you lost." Shen Yixue looked at Meng Qianyu with a smug face, blinking and smiling.
Meng Qianyu took a deep breath. "Fine, I accept my defeat. I'm a very reasonable person, I never cheat."
Pan Ning laughed. "Have you cheated any less in the past?"
Meng Qianyu looked up and said, "That was before. It's different now."
"Hehe, Su Yang, hurry up and come stand between me and Pan Pan." Shen Yixue grabbed Su Yang's wrist and pulled him between her and Pan Ning.
"Do we really have to stand like this?" Su Yang turned his head and looked left and right.
"Just like this. The sidewalk is quite wide, and we aren't blocking anyone," Shen Yixue said, openly linking her arm through Su Yang's.
Su Yang also reached out and linked arms with Pan Ning, and on the other side, Meng Qianyu followed suit and linked arms with Pan Ning.
The four of them walked forward locked together like a chain.
[Ding, it is detected that the host is feeling joyful and thoroughly enjoying this moment. Rewarding 3 million.]
This feeling really wasn't bad. Surrounded by three great beauties, it felt amazing!
As they walked, Meng Qianyu suddenly leaned forward to look at Shen Yixue on the far left and said, "Wait, Sister Xue, I suddenly thought of a question!"
"What question?"
"Don't you have a boyfriend? You're actually walking arm-in-arm with my Brother Su Yang. Aren't you afraid Ziming will get jealous?"
"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you. He and I broke up a long time ago."
"Huh??! Seriously?" Hearing this gossip, Meng Qianyu's face was filled with shock.
"It's true, why would I lie to you?"
"Y-y-you guys were doing so well, weren't you? How could you just break up like that?"
"Sigh, it's not something I can explain clearly in a sentence or two. I'll tell you the details when we get back tonight. Anyway, to sum it up in one sentence, we just weren't compatible."
"Not compatible?"
"Yeah, not compatible, so we just had a peaceful breakup."
"I'll be damned!! Did you two already know?" Meng Qianyu looked at Pan Ning and Su Yang.
The two of them nodded.
"No wonder I was thinking why you weren't with Ziming and came over here to hang out. Wait a minute!!"
As Meng Qianyu spoke, she suddenly raised her voice again.
"What is it? Can you stop pausing so dramatically when you speak?" Shen Yixue smiled and rolled her eyes at Meng Qianyu.
"You're single now, and you're holding onto Brother Su Yang. You're not trying to make a move on him, are you?"
Shen Yixue turned to Meng Qianyu and replied with a beaming smile, "Yes, I am. What's wrong with that? Is there a problem?"
"Huh?"
Hearing this, both Su Yang and Meng Qianyu let out a synchronized sound of surprise.
Pan Ning remained expressionless. She stared straight ahead like a hermit master who had seen through all worldly affairs.
Before Su Yang could speak, Meng Qianyu said anxiously, "My sister is still standing right here! How dare you say that so openly?"
"What's there to be afraid of? She already knows. She hasn't said anything, so what are you getting anxious about? Wait a minute!!"
At this point, Shen Yixue also suddenly raised her voice.
"Oh my, could you guys stop suddenly roaring? It's really scary!" Su Yang said, patting his chest.
"Don't interrupt. Qianyu, you little brat, are you getting so anxious because you also want to make a move on Su Yang?"
Hearing this, Meng Qianyu actually did feel a bit anxious inside, but she pretended to be calm, looking up and saying, "How is that possible?!"
"Hehe, what's impossible about it? Your reaction doesn't even need anyone to point it out. It's too obvious," Shen Yixue giggled.
"Y-you better not slander me! I don't have any thoughts like that." Meng Qianyu turned her head to look in another direction, stammering.
"Then what were you fighting with me for just now? I'm doing it openly, what about you?"
This single sentence left Meng Qianyu speechless, and for a moment, she didn't know how to reply.
Just as the atmosphere was getting a bit awkward, Pan Ning finally spoke up. "Alright, alright, Qianyu, you don't need to act anymore. I know you like Su Yang too."
"Uh... Sis... I... Sis..."
With Pan Ning saying this, not only was Meng Qianyu embarrassed, but Su Yang also started to feel a bit awkward.
He pulled his arm out, rubbed his eyes, and muttered while looking around, "Sigh, my eyes haven't been feeling too well lately..."
Ignoring Su Yang, Pan Ning continued looking at Meng Qianyu and said, "It's not just you. There are plenty of people who like him, and it's no big deal."
"Uh... Sis, you know everything? You..."
"I'm not blind. How could I not see something so obvious?"
"You, Little Tang, Little Lu, Little Su, which one of you doesn't like him?"
Meng Qianyu awkwardly scratched her nose. "Uh... me."
"And besides you all, I reckon there are many other people we don't even know who like him. So, one more or one less doesn't matter. Who you choose to like is your own business, and it's not something I can control anyway."
Shen Yixue rolled her eyes playfully, looked at Su Yang, and laughed. "So there are actually quite a few people who like you. Not bad, Su Yang, you're pretty charming."
Su Yang pursed his lips into a smile and didn't reply. Being caught between three girls discussing this topic was more than a little awkward, especially since the main girl in question was sitting right next to him.
"By the way, I know Little Tang and Little Lu, but who is Little Su?" Shen Yixue seemed to notice Su Yang's awkwardness, so she looked at Pan Ning and changed the subject.
"You haven't met her. She's a girl we met later on. She's incredibly beautiful—even prettier than the three of us."
"What?? Prettier than us? Is there really a girl that beautiful in this world?" Shen Yixue said in disbelief.
Pan Ning knew Shen Yixue was just joking. She shot her a look and said, "Little Su really is gorgeous. She has a great figure, she's tall, elegant, and very young. I think she's even a bit younger than Qianyu."
"Holy crap! Then I definitely have to meet her! You guys better introduce me when the time comes."
"There'll be a chance. We're all on pretty good terms right now. We even went on a road trip together a while back."
