Chapter 149: Insatiable Greed.

Suddenly, a voice sounded from ahead.

Xu Xiuwen looked up.

On the path in front of the girls' dormitory, Shen Minyao, Tang Weiwei, and Su Yanyan were walking toward him.

The person speaking was none other than Shen Minyao, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.

Shen Minyao had changed her appearance; she no longer wore heavy makeup or revealing clothes, but was dressed in jeans and a plain T-shirt, with her hair tied back in a ponytail, looking just like an ordinary college student.

Tang Weiwei was the same as before, always walking with her head down, her long bangs covering her eyebrows and eyes.

Su Yanyan still wore her black-framed glasses and braces.

The reactions of the three upon seeing him were very different.

Shen Minyao's expression was one of surprise mixed with a hint of doubt.

Tang Weiwei was simply shy and happy.

Su Yanyan, on the other hand, looked like a fangirl, beaming with a big smile that revealed her braced teeth.

Bai Yue'er also noticed her three roommates at this moment. She was startled and inexplicably anxious.

She nervously swallowed and was about to explain why she was with Xu Xiuwen.

But Xu Xiuwen spoke first, "Dong Jun invited us to dinner tonight. Brother Shi got drunk, so I brought Yue'er back."

His expression was calm, his speech neither too fast nor too slow, very composed.

Shen Minyao, who had initially been somewhat doubtful, relaxed considerably upon seeing his reaction.

Xu Xiuwen's explanation relieved Bai Yue'er as well.

She quickly walked out from behind Xu Wen, smiling as she asked, "Sister Minyao, where did you go just now?"

Shen Minyao raised her hand, showing the plastic bag she was holding. "We went to buy some things."

Still not entirely reassured, Shen Minyao asked, "Dong Jun treated you guys to dinner tonight? What's the occasion?"

Dong Jun hadn't mentioned the football match to the girls in the class. Since girls typically aren't interested in football, almost none of them knew about it.

Bai Yue'er also only found out today. Hearing Shen Minyao's question, she immediately explained, "Xiuwen and others won the match today, and Dong Jun was celebrating their victory by treating them to dinner."

Shen Minyao sensitively noticed that Bai Yue'er referred to him as "Xuiwen" instead of "Xu Xuiwen" with his full name, and she also detected a tone of familiarity in her voice.

She frowned slightly.

Tang Weiwei quietly glanced at Xu Xiuwen. Just as she did, he looked back at her. Their eyes met, and she shyly lowered her head again.

Su Yanyan, on the other hand, didn't think too much about it and curiously asked, "DaDa, you participated in a match? What kind of match?"

Xu Xuiwen hesitated for a second, but then he explained about the football match.

After he finished, all three girls, including Shen Minyao, were silent.

Then Su Yanyan excitedly exclaimed, "Such an important event, and the class monitor didn't even tell us. That's really unfair. DaDa, do you have another match tomorrow? I'll come and cheer for you."

Xu Wen shook his head. "No, not tomorrow. The next match is the day after tomorrow at the earliest. There's a reason Dong Jun didn't tell you about it; it's inconvenient to explain. Just know about it and don't tell the other girls in the class."

"Oh, I see. Okay then. But DaDa, if you have a match, make sure to tell sister Weiwei in advance. I'll go with her to support you."

Almost all the boys in the class had participated in the soccer game, but as the class monitor, Dong Jun hadn't informed the girls in the class, which made Shen Minyao feel something was off.

After thinking for a moment, she said, "Yanyan is right, after all, we are all in the same class. Next time there's a game, you must let us know so we can cheer for you."

Xu Xiuwen wanted to say, "That's not necessary."

But noticing the expressions on the girls' faces, especially that of his little admirer Su Yanyan, he knew it would be futile to argue, so he nodded.

Seeing this, Shen Minyao didn't say more. She pulled Su Yanyan towards the dormitory and reminded Bai Yue'er, "Let's go, Yue'er."

Su Yanyan was dragged along, exclaiming in surprise, "Sister Minyao, why are you pulling me?"

Bai Yue'er, however, had guessed Shen Minyao's intention.

She glanced at Xu Xiuwen, noticed his gaze was fixed on Tang Weiwei, and then silently followed Shen Minyao into the dormitory building.

This left only Xu Xiuwen and Tang Weiwei.

Xu Xiuwen hadn't planned to see Tang Weiwei tonight, but now that they had run into each other, he couldn't just ignore her and leave.

Tang Weiwei's roommates had all gone, but she remained standing there.

Xu Xiuwen chuckled softly, took the girl's hand, and walked in the opposite direction.

There were many small paths and secluded spots around the dormitory area. Xu Xiuwen definitely wouldn't go to those secluded spots, who knows if they'd run into other couples.

However, the edge of the flowerbed was a place they could sit for a while.

Xu Xiuwen led Tang Weiwei to the edge of a flowerbed. He sat down first, then pulled the girl to sit on his lap, just like the first time.

By now, Tang Weiwei was used to this position. Although she still felt shy, she wasn't as uneasy as the first time, when it felt like there were needles under her, making it hard to sit still.

When he was with Tang Weiwei, Xu Xiuwen no longer needed to hide his desires.

He always did whatever he wanted.

Tang Weiwei always let him have his way; as long as it wasn't too excessive, she would grit her teeth and bear it.

However, Xu Xiuwen was someone who knew how to push his limits.

At first, he was satisfied with just a bit of kissing, but soon he started to use his hands.

Now he was advancing towards the high ground tightly wrapped in clothing.

It was the first time Tang Weiwei had been touched there, and even though it was through her clothes, she felt incredibly shy.

Her back was straightened rigidly, and she let out soft, delicate sounds.

The girl tightly grabbed his hand, preventing him from continuing to fondle.

Under the moonlight, Xu Xiuwen gazed into Tang Weiwei's eyes, seeing a hint of pleading in them.

Xu Xiuwen had to relent.

But he had already made significant progress tonight, having touched her there; next time he could savor it a bit longer.

Finally, Xu Xiuwen hugged and kissed Tang Weiwei for a while before escorting her back to her dormitory just before the doors closed.

Lying in bed that night, Xu Xiuwen scrolled through the messages on his phone.

There were messages from Xiao Youran, Song Siyu, as well as Shen Minyao and Bai Yue'er.

Xiao Youran's message followed the usual pattern, first telling him about her day and then asking what he had been up to.

Xu Xiuwen had already told the girls in Dorm 601 about the soccer match, so he didn't tell Xiao Youran and just made up an excuse.

Xiao Youran didn't suspect anything and simply replied with a "Good night" before resting.

Song Siyu asked him via text if he would be visiting Jiaotong University to see Xiao Youran soon.

He replied that he had been very busy lately and didn't respond further.

Bai Yue'er's text reminded him that she would definitely come to watch his next match and asked him not to forget to tell her the time.

Xu Xiuwen replied with "Okay."

Finally, there was a text from Shen Minyao.

Shen Minyao's message was straightforward: "Weiwei is a good girl; don't let her down."

For a moment, Xu Xiuwen wondered if she had found something out.

But then he thought, no, he hadn't done anything.

So he simply didn't reply.
