Chapter 427 - 374: Full of Tea Flavor, an Arrogant Land Rover

When Wu Yun woke up, the first thing he saw was Wen Meng lying beside him, laughing and video-chatting with Qi Fei.

Qi Fei saw a man’s face appear next to Wen Meng’s on her screen. She grinned and said, "Well, well! My Lord! You’re awake?"

Wu Yun instantly perked up. Placing a hand on Wen Meng’s shoulder, he smiled and said, "Video-calling this early? Are you two already planning where to go for fun after the shoot wraps?"

"Fun? We’re in no mood for fun. If we don’t pay attention, someone’s going to poach from our own backyard and we won’t even know it!" Qi Fei said, rolling her eyes.

Wu Yun was completely lost. He gave Wen Meng a pat on the butt and asked, "What’s going on?"

Wen Meng turned to her side, giving Wu Yun an alluring look. "Who else could it be? Your classmate from the same department, Zhang Qiuyue! Junior, haven’t you seen her latest Moments post?"

’Zhang Qiuyue must have posted something about me on her Moments,’ Wu Yun immediately understood.

When Wen Meng saw Wu Yun pull out his personal phone, she teased, "Looks like we were right! Junior, you really did have a secret rendezvous with Zhang Qiuyue in the middle of the night!"

Wu Yun shrugged. "I went upstairs, but nothing happened!"

With that, he opened Zhang Qiuyue’s WeChat Moments feed and saw her latest post.

A few seconds later, Wu Yun looked up. "This Zhang Qiuyue really has a few tricks up her sleeve! Good thing I didn’t fall for it."

"But she miscalculated. She didn’t expect our relationship to be more complicated than she imagined."

’Zhang Qiuyue knew perfectly well that she had Wen Meng on WeChat. In a normal relationship, seeing a post like that would, at the very least, plant a seed of doubt and act as a fuse for a future argument, even if it didn’t cause an immediate fight.’

’What a move. If I went to confront her, there’s an eighty or ninety percent chance Zhang Qiuyue would say: "I’m so sorry, it’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have been around you and made your girlfriend misunderstand. I just... I like you so much, that’s why I posted that! It’s all my fault. How about this? Should I go and explain it to her?!"’

"Xiaoyunzi! What are you planning to do? Are you trying to add another ’sister’ to the family? I’m telling you right now, based on how she’s acting, the two of us do not approve!" Qi Fei’s voice came from the phone.

Wu Yun glanced at Wen Meng, who nodded in emphatic agreement.

Wu Yun chuckled slyly. "Don’t worry! If she keeps acting up like this, I’ll just ignore her. Besides, having you three as my girlfriends is more than enough! I really don’t have time to take care of any more!"

"Just us three girlfriends! But you have plenty of ’female friends,’ don’t you!?" Qi Fei rolled her eyes but didn’t press the issue. She knew Wu Yun understood his boundaries.

Just then, an assistant’s voice could be heard from behind Qi Fei. She turned back to the screen and joked, "I was hoping to watch you two put on a live show, but the director’s calling me! You’ll just have to perform for me next time!"

After the call ended, Wu Yun looked at Wen Meng with a wry expression. "You guys are kind of overreacting, don’t you think?"

Wen Meng frowned slightly and said in all seriousness, "We’re not overreacting. Someone else has already made their move."

"In your guy-speak, this Zhang Qiuyue is a total ’green tea’—and exactly the kind of girl guys fall for!"

"Right now, she just wants to be near you. The next step is to push us out of the picture! We don’t like people like that."

Wu Yun caressed Wen Meng’s face reassuringly. "Alright, alright. I’m hardly ever at school, so how could we possibly cross paths that much?"

"Besides, if she really wants to play games, she’s not necessarily going to win against me. Don’t worry!"

As he spoke, Wu Yun picked up his phone and, right in front of Wen Meng, sent a message to Zhang Qiuyue: "Are you guys up? Go on back to school by yourselves later. I’m not coming upstairs. Something came up at the office!"

Seeing Wu Yun send the message, Wen Meng broke into a smile and promptly pinned him to the bed.

"MWAH~"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!~ Let go, I really do have work! Don’t you have class?"

...

DING DONG~

The elevator doors opened.

"Wu Yun! And Senior, what a coincidence!" Inside, Zhang Qiuyue and the three other girls, who had been chatting happily, looked up in surprise at Wu Yun and Wen Meng standing outside.

Wu Yun hadn’t expected to run into them either. His mouth twitched into a smile. "What a coincidence. Did you all rest well last night?"

Xie Miao gave them a grateful look. "Thank you again, Wu Yun, and you too, Senior, for letting us stay. Otherwise, it would have been really late by the time we found another place."

Wen Meng linked her arm through Wu Yun’s, a radiant smile gracing her lightly made-up face. "We’re all classmates; it’s only right that we help each other out!"

Then, changing the subject, Wen Meng extended an invitation. "None of you have eaten breakfast yet, right? We can all head out of the complex together. There are plenty of breakfast places just outside."

Zhang Qiuyue’s expression remained unchanged, but Xie Miao looked a little embarrassed. "Oh, no, it’s okay! We wouldn’t want to intrude on you two."

Wen Meng smiled. "It’s no problem! Since we’ve already run into each other, let’s go together. We can head to school together after we eat. It’s a walk of over ten minutes from our complex."

After some polite back-and-forth, Zhang Qiuyue and her friends couldn’t refuse Wen Meng’s enthusiastic offer and agreed.

The breakfast options in Rongcheng were quite varied. From soy milk and fried dough sticks to soup dumplings and noodles, you could find just about anything.

Generally speaking, being in the south, Sichuan wasn’t known for its love of wheat-based foods. The Ba and Shu Region, however, was an exception; every city there boasted its own signature noodle dish.
