Chapter 16 Games

Actually, Lin Weiwei has a very high emotional intelligence.

She seemingly made fun of Alex, but there are two points worth noting. First, this kind of teasing was not excessive and was more of self-mockery. Second, she actually pushed Alex to the center of the topic.

After this, the sense of strangeness between everyone and Alex quickly disappeared, and everyone happily chatted together.

After Lucy came back, she quietly sat down beside Alex. Seeing that her girlfriends had accepted him, the smile on her face never faded.

Before that, she was worried that if Alex made the atmosphere awkward, she would have to let him go out and have fun by himself in the evening. After all, the birthday girl was the most important today.

Fortunately, that kind of awkward situation didn't occur.

Because of this, Lucy's satisfaction with Alex increased a little bit more. Really, just a tiny bit.

...

Since the topic of buying a Patek Philippe watch came up, everyone's curiosity couldn't be contained.

Reyina Wu, sitting on Alex's right side, was the first to speak up: "Alex, can I have a look at your watch?"

What's so difficult about that?

Without thinking, Alex took off his watch and handed it over. As a result, Reyina Wu was so scared that she quickly backed away.

"No, no, no! Just keep it on your wrist and stretch your hand over so I can have a look. Don't give it to me! Oh my god, it scared me to death. I wouldn't dare to touch it."

"I said, is it really necessary for you to be like this?" Alex didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He shook his head and placed the watch on the table.

"It's just a watch. It won't get damaged if you handle it normally on the table. If you want to have a look, just do it freely.

Even if it accidentally gets scratched or bumped somewhere, as long as it's not on purpose, there's after-sales service."

Only then did Reyina Wu dare to pick it up. She was both nervous and excited as she examined the watch.

Wang Xue couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. She whispered to Lin Weiwei, "Lucy is really lucky.

She could meet such a junior just by taking a train. This junior is really generous."

Lin Weiwei nodded.

There was a hint of depth in her eyes. "Yes. To be honest, I can't help but feel a little envious. At this passionate age, who doesn't want to meet an outstanding person?"

Lucy heard a few words and leaned over to ask, "Envious of what?"

Lin Weiwei affectionately patted her head and said straightforwardly, "Envious of you."

"Liars! Everyone knows you're a sucker for good looks." Lucy glanced at Wang Xue and chuckled. "If you said you were envious of Sister Xue, everyone might believe it..."

Wang Xue smiled proudly but didn't miss the chance to tease Lucy. "Don't say that. My old Han might work his whole life and still not have the wealth that your Alex has now. I'm envious of you."

Lucy's face turned red, and she insisted stubbornly, "There's nothing between us. Alex is going to study in Star City University."

Wang Xue curled her lips. "Is the airfare a problem for him?"

"But my time is a problem..." Lucy blurted out, and her expression immediately darkened. Her mood also took a nosedive.

Lin Weiwei and Wang Xue looked at each other, not knowing how to respond. They could only sigh silently in their hearts.

It seemed that Lucy really had a good impression of Alex, but no one could solve the problem of time.

Even classmates in the same school don't have much time to go on dates or fall in love. Let alone when two people are separated by most of China.

Unless Lucy is willing to give up her dreams, but is that realistic?

Meeting the right person at the best age sounds romantic.

But the best age is often not the right age for love, so first loves are often passionate but fruitless.

Who can we blame for that?

Just when the atmosphere was starting to get a bit sad, the waiter from the restaurant came to the rescue with big basins of seafood.

Everyone cheered and started to put the seafood into the steamer.

After Alex took back his watch, he got ready and scooped up a bowl of porridge with shrimps and crabs first.

Wow, this was life-saving porridge!

Several girls saw him wolf down a bowl of porridge in five seconds without looking clumsy at all.

They became even more curious about his family background and origin.

Lin Weiwei raised her glass after he put down the bowl and said, "It's my fault for making our guest so hungry.

Come on, everyone, let's raise our glasses together. Here's to our guest, to the rare fate today, and to the unbreakable friendship in the future!"

Once the little princess who could stir up the atmosphere spoke, everyone responded with enthusiasm.

"Cheers!"

Everyone gulped down half a glass of mineral water.

Lucy quietly asked, "Do you want to drink beer? Han Luzhou can accompany you to have some."

Alex shook his head with a smile. "No, thanks."

Today's atmosphere was really good. Everyone respected him without any kind of vulgar flattery, which made Alex feel very comfortable.

Compared to the college entrance banquet of his classmates a few days ago, it was much more pleasant.

Respect is mutual. The girls who study dancing didn't dare to drink too much. They wanted to save their energy for having fun in the evening. So, of course, it was up to the host.

The fresh seafood jumped around in the steamer for a while and then gradually quieted down. The aroma filled the air and wafted straight into everyone's noses.

Everyone was so hungry that they started to drool. Then they burst into laughter and teased each other.

Wang Xue complained, "We dance majors are really pitiful. We can't eat this or drink that..."

Her boyfriend Han Luzhou replied, "Actually, it's not that bad..."

"Get out!"

"Stinky man, go away!"

"If you bring him to dinner again next time, Wang Xue, we'll break off our friendship!"

Wang Xue suddenly hugged Lin Weiwei tightly and asked coquettishly, "Darling, what does breaking off friendship mean?"

While they were making a fuss, Reyina Wu was quietly shrinking back. Half of her body was almost hidden behind Alex.

But it was no use. She was quickly pulled out by Lu Yuanyuan.

"And you, Reyina Wu! You can't walk when you see food. Don't you know your ranking in professional courses is almost at the bottom?"

"Exactly! Let her do a backbend. With her center of gravity like that, it would be strange if she didn't fall."

Alex imagined that scene and almost burst out laughing.

This Xinjiang girl was really tough. Seeing that she couldn't hide, she slapped the table and said, "Is it my fault that I'm so well-developed? I'm one of a kind in the dance academy. I'll make you all envious!"

Pfft!

Alex couldn't hold back his laughter. He looked back at Lucy, and Lucy's face turned bright red with embarrassment.

Then both sides got rowdy. Alex was pinched, and Reyina Wu was threatened by them, pointing their fingers at her.

"With a boy here, you wait until tonight."

"If I don't beat you until you beg for mercy today, I'll write my surname Lu backwards!"

Reyina Wu decisively avoided the confrontation. "I won't go back to the dormitory to live today!"

Wang Xue widened her eyes. "Alex and Lucy are going to live there. What are you doing there? Eavesdropping?"

"They're staying in Yuanyuan's room. What does it have to do with me? I also paid for that room, okay?"

Lucy quickly clarified, "Stop! I'll go back to the dormitory. Only Alex will stay there. Don't involve me!"

Everyone's gazes immediately became very strange, staring at Reyina Wu with ill intentions.

Reyina Wu hunched her shoulders, hugged her chest tightly, and held her ground firmly. "Anyway, I won't go back! Don't even think about it!"

"Oh..."

Everyone drew out the sound, pretending to have a sudden realization, and started playing idiom solitaire.

"A lonely man and a widow..."

"Living together in one room..."

"Omit omit..."

"Block block..."

The group of girls led by Lu Yuanyuan and Wang Xue were getting more and more outrageous.

Alex could already picture it in his mind, and his heart fluttered. He quickly coughed to stop them.

"Cough cough... Ladies, I just graduated from high school. What are you talking about? I don't understand."

Lucy, who was scared out of her wits, immediately changed the topic. "Open the steamer quickly. I'm so hungry."

She didn't dare to confront those "female hooligans", so she could only divert their attention.

Reyina Wu immediately responded and lifted the lid of the steamer. A strong aroma instantly filled the entire private room.

Wow, this steamed seafood is really delicious!

Everyone was so hungry that their eyes were almost red. They didn't care about dealing with Reyina

Wu anymore and all stretched out their chopsticks.
