Chapter 51 - : Can be Considered Childhood Sweethearts

Chapter 51: Chapter 51: Can be Considered Childhood Sweethearts

Zhou Yuan said, “Just giving your word doesn’t count, you have to treat me to a meal for it to count.”

Sister Wang from the same dorm had gone home to see her husband and child, and Su Meixi happened to have nothing to do, so she let Zhou Yuan send her the location, and she could take a taxi there.

The location Zhou Yuan had picked was a Michelin star restaurant in a mall, with an average spend of 2000 per person.

Su Meixi didn’t find it strange; with the status of Zhou Yuan’s father, it was quite normal for them to eat at such a restaurant.

“Sister Su, over here!”

Zhou Yuan waved enthusiastically at Su Meixi.

This time when Su Meixi saw Zhou Yuan, she felt an even better impression of her. The last time they met was in a mall, and she was dressed like the girl next door. This time, she wore a white dress that was well-tailored, appearing both cute and elegant.

Su Meixi walked over, first smiled at Zhou Yuan, and then greeted Mr. Zhou politely.

“Sister Su, sit next to me.”

“Okay.” Su Meixi also felt more relaxed sitting next to Zhou Yuan.

Then came the ordering. When the waiter came to ask her what she wanted, Su Meixi said she would have the same as Zhou Yuan.

Last time, she had ordered the same as Gu Wei and it turned into a joke. This time, ordering the same as Zhou Yuan couldn’t possibly be a joke, right?

Zhou Yuan was about to say something, but Mr. Zhou smiled and said to the waiter, “Make it the same as mine, otherwise, I’m afraid Dr. Su won’t be full.”

It wasn’t until all the food had arrived that Su Meixi realized that Zhou Yuan had been on a diet recently, not eating any staples; she only wanted a small steak and a mushroom soup.

Although Mr. Zhou was a man, his appetite was average, a normal combination.

“Sister Su, how do you eat so much and not gain weight?” Zhou Yuan envied her greatly.

Su Meixi said, “Maybe because I’ve been practicing fighting and Sanda lately, I’ve gained more muscle.”

“No wonder, I’ve noticed your figure is getting better and better, very curvy.”

Then Mr. Zhou spoke to his daughter, “So you see, if you want a good figure, you must exercise well. It’s only when you eat and drink well that you have the energy. Eating so little every day like you do, lacking strength, how is that healthy?”

Zhou Yuan pouted, “First I need to starve myself thin, then slowly sculpt my figure, I’m not talking to you about it, you don’t understand.”

“Looks good to be skin and bones? I really don’t understand you young people.”

“So you want to be chubby? Isn’t that just like raising a pig?”

“…” The father and daughter bickered back and forth, inciting immense envy from Su Meixi.

Her biological father was also in Guang City.

But it had been a long time since they had contacted one another, and she even felt there was no need to.

After the meal, Mr. Zhou had something to attend to and left first, leaving time to the two girls, as they wouldn’t feel as free to talk if he was around.

Zhou Yuan dragged Su Meixi to go shopping together, and Su Meixi didn’t refuse.

She had been tension-filled with her studies all week, and relaxing now didn’t seem bad at all.

When girls go shopping, they just try on clothes and maybe have some milk tea or something.

The mall was air-conditioned and comfortable to walk around in.

As they were shopping, someone called out, “Xiao Xi.”

At that sound, Su Meixi’s scalp went numb.

Why was Bi Yuanhang here, too?

“Sister Su, who is that?” Zhou Yuan also curiously looked at Bi Yuanhang.

Zhou Yuan had met Gu Wei before, a very tall man with a commanding presence, whereas this man in front of them was still quite handsome, though in a refined way.

“He’s here with me to study,” said Su Meixi.

“Oh.” Zhou Yuan was a mature girl, and she could tell from Bi Yuanhang’s eyes that he fancied Su Meixi.

It was normal for someone as pretty as Sister Su to be sought after.

Just didn’t know if Sister Su’s heart was steadfast.

Bi Yuanhang approached with enthusiasm, “Xiao Xi, what a coincidence, you’re at this mall too? And who’s this young lady?”

“It’s my friend,” said Su Meixi simply.

“Are you not going to introduce us?” Bi Yuanhang asked.

“There’s no need.”

Bi Yuanhang was rejected, but he didn’t give up. Pointing towards a milk tea shop ahead, he said, “Xiao Xi, how about I treat you to a milk tea?”

“No thanks, I’m on a diet, can’t have that,” Su Meixi declined bluntly, then pulled Zhou Yuan away.

Bi Yuanhang stood there for a few seconds.

The more Su Meixi pushed him away, the more it showed that her heart wasn’t steady.

If it was steady, she would have treated him like an old friend.

Clearly, she was afraid to face her own feelings.

Once they were far away, Zhou Yuan curiously asked Su Meixi, “Sister Su, was that guy just now trying to pursue you?”

Su Meixi said, “Possibly, I’ve known him since childhood, you could say we are childhood sweethearts.”

“Childhood sweethearts? Then why can’t you be together?”

“He disappeared suddenly one day, it was only recently that he reappeared, but I already have a boyfriend, there’s no chance for us to be together.”

“Not even as normal friends?” Zhou Yuan asked curiously.

“No, I don’t want any misunderstandings, especially with my current boyfriend,” Su Meixi said.

She didn’t have family and trusted few friends, so it was the same to share some thoughts with Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan understood a bit and admired Su Meixi even more, “Sister Su, you’re really a good girl. You know, if it were someone else, having so many good-looking men chasing after them, they would be pleased as punch every day. There’s a girl in our class who is always flitting between several men, calling this one ‘big brother,’ that one ‘male confidant.’ Everyone envies her, and I’m starting to doubt my own principles; shouldn’t someone like that be knocked senseless?”

Su Meixi smiled, “I don’t understand what others think; I prefer things to be simple.”

Having a family was all she wanted.

And that family, Gu Wei had provided.

After sending Su Meixi back to the Chinese Hospital, Zhou Yuan also returned to the hotel.

She came on this trip following Mr. Zhou on business. Mr. Zhou often took her wherever he went, and when he was busy during the day, he’d let Zhou Yuan browse around nearby, which was a good way to gain experience.

When Mr. Zhou saw Zhou Yuan had returned, he inevitably asked, “Did you have fun going out today?”

“It was fun, Sister Su is really a good sister, she gave me a lesson in morality.”

“A lesson in morality?”

Zhou Yuan told about Su Meixi rejecting Bi Yuanhang.

After listening, Mr. Zhou couldn’t help but frown.

“Dad, why the frown? Did Sister Su not handle the situation right?”

Mr. Zhou said, “She did the right thing, but… men are not that simple.”

Especially men like Bi Yuanhang with high education and great prospects. If he had many tricks up his sleeve, Su Meixi might not remain unwavering.

However, Mr. Zhou had no energy to deal with these matters, it was the Gu Family’s affair to handle.

Mr. Zhou said to Zhou Yuan, “I’m going to make a phone call.”
