Chapter 1825 - 1826: Reserved

When a girl says this sentence to you with deep affection, you should know what to do. I miss you too!

"

After Lin Xian said this, he held her small face with both hands and pressed down hard. Fan Xiaoman let out a cry of surprise, but

didn't struggle. Instead, she wrapped her arms tightly around him. Witnessing this scene, Zhou Hui looked at them with a forlorn expression.

As a single person, she felt a thousand points of emotional damage. Moreover, she was force-fed with a mouthful of dog food again.

Oh, so frustrating!

Zhou Hui pondered whether she should find a boyfriend herself, otherwise constantly seeing others showing off their love would turn her into a lemon spirit.

At this moment, Wang Li and two others approached, looking distinctly odd.

Because, usually at school, she always carried a cold goddess demeanor, and they had never seen Yan Xiaoman being so passionate and bold before. After a moment, the two hugging separated.

Noticing the gazes from Wang Li and the others, Yan Xiaoman's pretty face couldn't help but flush slightly, a hint of shyness flashing in her eyes.

Her personality is relatively reserved.

But just now, she really couldn't hold back.

Suppressing the shyness in her heart, Yan Xiaoman spoke: "Let me introduce..."

Lin Xian interrupted with a smile, "No need for introductions. The host has already introduced us on stage."

Speaking so, he turned to look at Wang Li and the others with a light smile and said, "My name is Lin Xian, and I'm Xiaoliang's boyfriend. Nice to meet you."

Wang Li and the others nodded with smiles.

They had known for a long time that Yan had a boyfriend, and today they finally saw him.

Wang Li couldn't help but secretly nod after sizing up Lin Xian a few times. Very handsome, great temperament, and gave a comfortable first impression.

From appearance alone, he indeed matches well with Yan Xiaoman.

Lin Xian invited them with a smile: "Thank you all for helping and taking care of Xiaoliang during this period, and also to celebrate your victory against a strong opponent in your first match. Lunch is on me, shall we have a meal together?" Wang Li considered it and nodded in agreement: "Sure, thank you for the treat." Initially, she didn't want to go. The semi-finals are tomorrow, and she wanted to make more preparations today. But considering her good relationship with Yan, and since her boyfriend rarely comes, it seemed appropriate to accept the offer.

Zhu Xianfeng and Wang Weizhong each had their own girlfriends, and upon hearing Lin Xian say he wanted to treat, Zhu Xianfeng said apologetically, "Sorry, I've already made plans with my girlfriend." "Same here," Wang Weizhong echoed.

They won the match, of course, they wanted to share the joy with their girlfriends. So Lin Xian didn't push them, but nodded and said, "No worries, next time we'll gather."

Alright, I'm off then.

Zhu Xianfeng waved his hand and turned to leave.

After the two left, Lin Xian hugged Yan Xiaoman affectionately and said, "What do you want to eat?"

Yan Xiaoman gently bit her finger, clearly in a dilemma again. Despite her clear and logical thinking during debates,

When it comes to food, her foodie nature brings out indecisiveness. After thinking for a while,

she made a difficult decision: "How about we have some local cuisine? I haven't had braised pork in ages!" "Sure, as long as you like it," Lin Xian said, lightly pecking her forehead.

Lin Xian, you're so nice!

Yan Xiaoman's eyes brimmed with mist, her heart full of sweetness.

Seeing this, Wang Li and Zhou Hui glanced at each other, seeing helplessness and melancholy in each other's eyes. This

T M can't enjoy a meal at all

They were already full on the dog food.

Wang Li suddenly felt that agreeing to stay for lunch might have been a mistake. The group arrived at the school's entrance, and Yan Xiaoliang took out his phone, about to call a taxi, but Lin Xian stopped him: "No need, I drove here."

"But isn't your car only meant for two people?" Yan asked in confusion. Lin Xian explained, "I sent it for repairs a while ago and bought a new one." Wang Li looked at Lin Xian with some surprise.

She didn't expect that Yan Xiaoman's boyfriend had such a good family background. Lin Xian said this while heading towards the parking lot.

He took out the car key and pressed it, and the black Rolls-Royce Phantom ahead flashed its lights a couple of times. Then the Flying Little Golden Man slowly rose from the hood. Upon seeing this, Wang Li couldn't help but swallow a gulp.

Okay, she took back what she said earlier.

His family background wasn't just good—it was extremely rich! Though she wasn't knowledgeable about cars, she recognized the Flying Little Golden Man symbol. Yan Xiaoman eyed the car with interest and asked, "Wow, the car's design is interesting. How much did it cost?"

Including the customization fee, 9 million.

Lin Xian casually explained and opened the car door to get in.

Wang Li raised her eyebrows and asked in a lowered voice, "What's Xiaoman's boyfriend's background? Judging by his age, he should still be in school, right?"

At most, he's his late teens and casually buys cars approaching 10 million. And based on their earlier conversation, it's not his only one.

Yeah, he's studying at a university in Jinling.

Zhou Hui nodded and explained, "They were classmates in middle and high school, childhood sweethearts. It's enviable."

"What do you think of him?" Wang Li continued to ask.

She hadn't known Fan Xiaoman for long, but they got along well. Like attracts like.

Xiao Hui said seriously, "Lin Xian is really nice! He's different from those second-generation types, easygoing, humorous, and romantic. Our dorm is immensely envious of Xiaoman."

After hearing Zhou Hui's evaluation, Wang Li was taken aback.

Is the evaluation really that high? It seems she was overthinking.

When Wang Li and Zhou Hui got into the car, Lin Xian started the car and smoothly maneuvered towards the Shangri-La Hotel.

There are indeed more upscale hotels than the Shangri-La, but he's used to staying there. Besides, he thinks the Shangri-La Hotel is pretty decent all around, so there's no need to switch. After about ten minutes, the Rolls-Royce Phantom steadily stopped at the hotel entrance. Getting out of the car, Lin Xian gracefully handed the car keys and a tip to the valet and led the three of them to the second floor of the hotel to Guihua Building.

Finding a spot by the window to sit down, the waiter immediately handed over a menu. Lin Xian passed the menu to Wang Li and Zhou Hui, smiling and inviting them, "Order whatever you like, don't worry about saving money for me, no need for polite talk."

Right now, he possessed the [Heart of Fine Food] skill, so dining out was almost free, and he could even earn a bit in return.

Wang Li flipped open the menu, and upon seeing the prices, she couldn't help but gasp internally. It's her first time eating with Lin Xian, so she felt embarrassed to order anything too expensive, thus choosing a cold dish. Zhou Hui, on the other hand, felt more at ease, knowing that this man really wasn't short on money. Last time, he treated them to a meal worth over a hundred thousand, so why worry about a few thousand?

Yan Xiaoman ordered the secret recipe braised pork and Buddha jumps over the wall fish head, then recommended, "Sister Li, Xiao Hui, the fish head wall here is great, the rich soup is a perfect match with the rice." No wonder she's a foodie, her food descriptions were so vivid.

Gulp!

Zhou Hui couldn't help but swallow.

Lin Xian added two more dishes, bringing the total to eight, which was more than enough. After ordering, the waiter kindly poured them a cup of hot, steaming appetizing flower tea.

Yan Xiaoliang held the tea cup in both hands, sipping the flower tea in small sips.

She's lost some weight during this time, her once graceful oval face was now almost turning into a pointed chin. Lin Xian, feeling distressed, said, "Shall we go for a spa treatment after the meal?"

Yan Xiaoman seemed a bit tempted, but still...

We can't, Lin Xian. We have to prepare for tomorrow's semi-finals this afternoon. Once the competition is over, I'll take two days off to spend with you, how about that?

Lin Xian waved it off, understandingly.

You've worked hard, you can't drop the ball at the last moment; otherwise, all your efforts would be wasted. Besides, to be honest, the teams participating this time are from top universities domestically, those qualifying for semi-finals are strong.

A single mistake could lead to elimination.

Didn't Tsinghua University get knocked out in the first round of the preliminaries?
