Dine Out Let Yu Wan'er Bleed Heavily

"No classes this afternoon... Teacher Yu, would you like to come to my house and help me with my studies?"

Jiang Che's haunting voice sounded behind Yu Wan'er.

Yu Wan'er was carrying her small backpack, preparing to get into Ye Mengyao's car. Usually on weekends... Yu Wan'er would spend time with Ye Mengyao.

She would save money whenever possible and take advantage of any opportunity.

After all, the wealthy Ye Mengyao wouldn't mind supporting another little freeloader.

"You... Jiang Che, I have something else to do this afternoon!"

Yu Wan'er instinctively wanted to refuse. Going to Jiang Che's house to tutor him?

Wouldn't that be like a lamb walking into a tiger's den? She had completely seen through this terrible guy now!

"Oh? Is that so? What a pity!"

Jiang Che licked his lips and chuckled.

"Since the top student doesn't want to help a failing student like me... then forget it! The elite just don't understand the struggles of poor students~"

Yu Wan'er: "......"

What emotional manipulation!

Yu Wan'er was a girl of contrasts. Although she was quite cunning and materialistic on the inside, she gave others the impression of being soft, cute, beautiful, and kind-hearted - a model student.

So she was very popular, at least... except for Jiang Che, no one else had seen Yu Wan'er's other side.

Yu Wan'er was now in a dilemma, "Um... alright then! But I only have two hours to tutor you!"

Better maintain her image first!

"Well, thank you, Teacher Yu. Haven't had lunch yet, right? Shall we go eat lunch together?"

Yu Wan'er's nails were almost digging into her flesh, but she still put on an innocent look, even gently biting her finger.

"This... is that appropriate?"

A natural-born actress!

"There's a newly opened Chinese restaurant across the street, how about we eat there?"

Yu Wan'er was conflicted. She was indeed hungry... hunger was uncomfortable, and she had long grown tired of that feeling.

After much consideration, the little girl nodded firmly.

After all, once she finished eating, she could just find an excuse to slip away. Even if Jiang Che was a jerk, he couldn't possibly grab her on the street!

Plus, she could get a free meal, how wonderful!

Ye Mengyao, who had been left aside, stepped forward. The relationship between Yu Wan'er and Jiang Che was clearly unusual...

Ye Mengyao inexplicably felt jealous, and it was about her favorite and closest friend!

So Ye Mengyao directly followed along, "I want to go too!"

Jiang Che glanced at her. This Miss Ye... was really irritating.

As destined female protagonists, both Ye Mengyao and Yu Wan'er were undoubtedly stunning in terms of looks.

Most importantly... the destructive power of such youthful, energetic young women on men was simply too great.

No man could resist 18-year-old beautiful girls; they were lovely and full of vitality.

While he liked them, he couldn't break his cold persona.

"Hehe... Is Miss Ye planning to freeload?"

Ye Mengyao seemed determined to come along and directly linked arms with Yu Wan'er.

"I'm going to eat with Wan'er, is that not allowed?"

Jiang Che smiled slightly. She took the bait!

"That's fine, but if you're coming, let's have Yu Wan'er pay the bill!"

Jiang Che's words made Yu Wan'er's expression change slightly.

Her... paying?

Where would she get the money to pay?

Although she didn't know how expensive this Chinese restaurant was, but any restaurant Jiang Che chose... would definitely not be cheap!

She understood now!

Jiang Che was doing this on purpose, he wanted to embarrass her!

Sure enough, Ye Mengyao had absolutely no concept of paying bills... In her mind... spending money was as simple as swiping a card.

The young lady never looked at prices when shopping!

"Hmph, it's just a Chinese restaurant, it's not like we can't afford it!"

"Right, darling Wan'er!"

Ye Mengyao held Yu Wan'er's delicate hand.

"Mm~" Yu Wan'er nodded, her voice trembling.

......

The newly opened Chinese restaurant was very luxurious, obviously not a place with simple prices.

"You... Sister Mengyao, why don't you order?"

Yu Wan'er originally wanted to give the menu to both of them but cleverly only gave it to Ye Mengyao.

She knew very well that if she gave the menu to Jiang Che... this terrible guy would definitely order the most expensive items.

"Darling Wan'er, I love you so much!"

The young lady's thoughts were as pure as a child's, except for occasional bouts of jealousy... she was simply a perfect example of a naive sweet girl.

"Um... one Minnan ginger duck, mushrooms in scallion oil, stir-fried scallops with Chinese sausage, turkey-flavored rice crisps..."

Although Ye Mengyao was simple-minded, she didn't order too much, just casually picking a few moderately priced dishes.

"Give it here! How is this enough for anyone?"

"The next table will think we can't afford to eat properly!"

Jiang Che took the menu and added several expensive dishes.

Yu Wan'er: "......"

The young girl secretly lowered her head, looked at the few thousand yuan left in her account, and felt a sharp pain in her heart.

This meal would cost at least one or two thousand.

Bad guy! Such a bad guy!

Yu Wan'er felt like crying at this point.

When the food arrived... looking at the table full of delicious dishes that were a feast for both eyes and palate.

Yu Wan'er's sad tears finally flowed from the corners of her mouth.

Since she was spending her own money anyway... might as well eat more to make up for it!

...

Paying the bill was painful, Yu Wan'er's heart ached unbearably seeing the 1,700 yuan deducted.

She cursed Jiang Che countless times in her heart.

"Miss Yu, our campus beauty? You seem a bit unhappy? Is treating us to a meal making you sad?"

Jiang Che asked teasingly.

"Not at all! I'm very happy! Actually, I've wanted to treat Sister Mengyao for a long time, since she always treats me... I've been feeling quite guilty!"

Yu Wan'er's acting was simply divine.

Ye Mengyao was in a good mood too, "What are you saying, darling Wan'er! There's no yours and mine between us!"

Then she turned her gaze to Jiang Che.

"Jiang Che, about the birthday party I mentioned this morning... you'll come, right?"

Jiang Che pondered for a moment, his expression calm and unreadable, then silently nodded.

Ye Mengyao's face lit up with joy. She wanted to continue speaking... to ask about the woman who was with Jiang Che that night...

But she ultimately didn't, after all... she wasn't anything special to him right now.

"Um... I'm also very good at math, I could help tutor you," Ye Mengyao tried.

Jiang Che slowly stood up, wiped his mouth, "No need to trouble yourself, Class Monitor. After all, I'm just a poor student, a failure that you look down upon."

With that, Jiang Che left, pulling Yu Wan'er along.

Watching Jiang Che's departing figure, Ye Mengyao's heart filled with endless regret.

In the past, she had indeed rejected Jiang Che's confessions multiple times using academic performance as an excuse, and had even been quite arrogant about it.

But... those words she had spoken then were like bullets precisely hitting the girl's forehead.
