Chapter 406: Bai Wen is better off meeting her in person, it’s over!
"Why are you looking at me like this?"
Chen Zhuo felt a little strange being stared at by Huang Baihan and couldn't help but ask.
"Do you find it interesting that you're always being sarcastic?"
Huang Baihan turned his head away and said in a muffled voice: "I know Xiaomu is very good, and I am very grateful to her, but what happened in the past is in the past, there is no need for you to use it to provoke me again and again!"
Huang Baihan was ready to talk reason with his best friend and ask him not to rub salt into his wounds.
It turned out that Chen's eyes were full of confusion and puzzlement.
"Who is being weird with you?"
Chen Zhuo asked in confusion: "Did I say something wrong?"
"You said Mou Jiawen is my real girlfriend, but you obviously know it!"
Huang Baihan was also unhappy: "Xiao Mou and I don't really have a confirmed relationship at all!"
"What do you mean?"
Chen Zhuo slowly widened his eyes and asked, "Why did it seem to me that you two had been dating for the entire winter vacation?"
And didn’t you open this [Imperial Tea] just to prove to Xiao Mou that you don’t want to give up?
Why do you suddenly say that you have never confirmed the relationship?
How can I describe this feeling? It’s like I’ve always believed that “the earth is round”, but one day I suddenly saw clearly written in the textbook that “the earth is square”.
In an instant, I felt as if my memory was dislocated to another parallel time and space.
"Didn't you guys get back together before winter break?"
Chen asked with a frown on his face.
Huang Baihan didn't say anything, but silently looked at his best friend for a long time. It seemed like he was really knowing this situation for the first time.
But from Huang Baihan's perspective, he told Chen Zhe at the time, and he also comforted himself.
"Da Huang, is there something wrong?"
"Chen Zhe, are you really not kidding me?"
Chen Zhuo and Huang Baihan spoke at the same time, and their expressions were extremely serious.
The two looked at each other and closed their mouths at the same time.
Chen was sorting out his thoughts. He wanted to quickly sort out his memory and find out when he started to get confused.
But it's a bit difficult.
Although the interval was not long, he was very busy for more than a month and could only have a rough understanding of Huang Baihan's feelings, and there was no specific timeline at all.
Huang Baihan was thinking about the reason for Chen's misunderstanding. Could it be that Xiaomou didn't tell others that she already had a boyfriend?
Although that senior student seemed totally unworthy of Mou Jiawen.
But now when Huang Baihan recalled the scene of Mou Jiawen handing him the ice cream, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart.
"Chen Zhuo, didn't School Beauty Song talk to you about Xiao Mou?"
Huang Baihan suddenly asked.
"there has never been."
Chen shook his head and denied it: "I thought the milk tea shop was going to give Mou Jiawen a surprise, so I didn't take the initiative to ask about it, for fear of revealing the secret."
"Well."
Huang Baihan had a solemn expression on his face, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
"Da Huang, stop pretending to be so cool."
Chen couldn't figure it out, so he asked directly: "What's going on? Tell me."
Huang Baihan actually refused.
He said: "There shouldn't be any secrets between us brothers, but I can't agree to it this time. Xiaomu has helped me so much, there are some things she didn't say, and I don't want to take the initiative to promote her."
"hiss……"
Chen Zhuo felt his teeth ache: "What's so mysterious? I'm getting more and more curious."
"Anyway, don't ask."
Huang Baihan still refused: "I am not the kind of guy who would gossip about others behind their backs just because he can't get the love he wants! Anyway, I am very grateful to Xiaomu in my heart. In the future, if she needs me, I will definitely rush to her without hesitation!"
"As for now..."
Huang Baihan tightened the apron around his waist and said, "I don't want to talk about love or romance anymore. I just want to focus all my energy on Imperial Tea. Maybe doing business is easier than romance and love."
After saying that, Huang Baihan strode towards the busy production counter, leaving Chen with a back that seemed very resolute but actually very stupid.
"You haven't talked about it yet?"
Chen was too lazy to do the chores in the milk tea shop, so he just found a chair to sit down and sighed softly.
Although the specific reason is still unclear, are these two people really not suitable for each other, so they can't get together again and again?
"Chen, have some tea."
Not long after, a gentle call came to my ears.
Chen looked up and saw that it was Xu Yue who brought him a cup of hot drink.
"I can smell alcohol on you from a distance."
After Xu Yue put down the teacup, she folded her hands on her belly like a lady and said, "I specially asked Sister Jiang to make you a cup of hot tea. Drink it while it's hot."
Looking at Xu Yue's considerate words and considerate actions, Chen Zhuo couldn't help but sigh:
A bad woman controls a man by making him happy, but many stupid women hope to control a man by making him unhappy.
For example, he manages the accounts, checks my phone, gives me only a small amount of pocket money every month, and gets angry if I say a few words to other women...
With such a comparison, if I hadn't recognized Xu Yue's true face earlier, it would have been very easy for me to fall into the trap of the gentle land.
Chen Zhe is also a very good actor who can always make the "actresses" he plays opposite reach a climax.
He did not expose Xu Yue's motives, and even praised her with admiration: "There are so many people here, but only Senior Sister Xu can remember to care about my health."
"Oh! Maybe everyone has more important things on their mind."
Xu Yue seemed to be making excuses for others, but in fact she was implying that in her heart, Chen's side was the most important.
"The tea flavor of this tea is almost as good as that of the divorced women's director when I was on secondment."
After Chen made a self-deprecating remark and offered the hot tea to express his gratitude again, Xu Yue turned around and left.
Under the bright LED lights of the milk tea shop, she deliberately lifted her long hair, as if to leave the most perfect profile to Chen Zhe.
She didn't want to hook up with Chen Zhe, but she was used to showing her best side in front of outstanding boys.
But Chen Zhuo almost vomited.
This artificial coquettish pose, how can it compare to the natural charm of Sister Cos, and it is far inferior to the elegance of Sister Sweet. However, with Xu Yue's interruption, Chen's regret for "Bai Wen is not as good as seeing her once" faded a little.
It’s like you were missing someone, but then you forgot about it while watching TikTok.
Soon around 10 o'clock, the business of the milk tea shop gradually became slow, because the college students went back to the dormitory to wash up, and the lights in the second canteen were also turned off.
Huang Baihan began to realize that having an independent store would give him a lot more freedom. If it was near the basketball court in the West District, he could open until very late.
Gradually, the friends who were handing out flyers and maintaining order outside came back, and Chen's attention naturally focused on Song Shiwei first.
Maybe Sister Sweet has never been a flyer handing girl in her life, so she is indeed a little tired today.
On the cold and silent little face, there was a silly and cute look mixed with a bit of fatigue. Standing under the warm but not too glaring wall lamp of the cafeteria, she looked like a sweet-scented osmanthus flower emitting fragrance.
Chen walked over and asked, "Did you have enough tonight?"
Before Song Shiwei could say anything, Mou Jiawen jumped out from the side and replied, "I'm full, I'm full. We had noodles in the cafeteria. Chen, you haven't been so nagging before. Are you afraid that your school beauty Song will be hungry?"
"She's hungry and there's me."
Chen Zhuo began to pry information from Xiaomu: "Who do you look for when you are hungry? Da Huang?"
Mou Jiawen's face froze when she heard this, but she didn't want to appear embarrassed, so she raised her head and said unconvincedly: "I'll go find my parents when I'm hungry, they won't let me suffer!"
"You're not a child. If you lose, call your parents."
Chen sneered, and as if a knife was cutting into flesh, he suddenly asked, "Xiao Mou, if you hadn't abandoned Huang Baihan, someone would care about you now."
Chen said this deliberately in order to pursue "first-hand news" and catch people off guard.
Xiao Mou didn't react at all, and blurted out: "Who said I abandoned him? It was obviously his fault!"
When Mou Jiawen thought of that day, she held on to all her hopes of reconciliation, but Huang Baihan had no such intention at all, the flames in her heart suddenly ignited.
"I've actually already told Weiwei that I don't want to have anything to do with that person anymore!"
"If I hadn't come to see Weiwei today, I wouldn't have bothered to come to the second cafeteria."
"I'm only helping to share the burden of handing out flyers because I don't want Weiwei to be too tired!"
Mou Jiawen put the blame on Song Shiwei, trying not to let her current behavior contradict her past remarks.
Chen pointed out another loophole calmly: "When Da Huang was in trouble with Dong Yong, you stood up to support him."
"That's because..."
Mou Jiawen quickly thought of an excuse: "After all, he graduated from Zhizhong. If he ends up in such a mess, it would be a disgrace to our alma mater!"
"Hoho~"
Chen squeezed his cheeks with a forced smile, implying that this reason was too far-fetched.
"Believe it or not!"
Xiao Mou probably also felt that this explanation was not convincing, and given Chen's cunningness, he would reveal more and more loopholes as the conversation went on.
He simply stamped his feet, bared his little canine teeth, pulled Song Shiwei and turned downstairs: "Weiwei, let's go back."
"Forehead……"
Chen thought to himself, you can just go on your way. It's no big deal to drag Sister Sweet along.
However, from the conversation just now, it can be heard that Mou Jiawen thinks that the current situation between the two is mainly due to Huang Baihan.
But according to Dahuang’s previous statement, it seems that it is Xiaomou’s problem again.
"One of these two must be lying!"
After Chen Zhu came to this conclusion, he himself didn't quite believe it.
According to his understanding of Dahuang and Xiaomou, neither of them is the kind of person who tells lies.
This is difficult to explain, and Chen Zhuo couldn’t figure it out for a moment.
At this time, Huang Baihan saw Chen Zhe and the others were about to go downstairs, as if they were about to leave, and immediately shouted loudly:
"Chen Zhe, everyone has worked hard today, let's have a midnight snack together after work."
"Would you like to have a midnight snack?"
Chen was questioning Song Shiwei and Mou Jiawen, but Cong Ni and Han Xiao were also there.
It’s a pity that Xiao Mou didn’t answer, so Sister Sweet could only let her hold her hand while turning around and shaking her head.
The dim light in the cafeteria corridor shone on her fair cheeks, and a few strands of hair fell by her ears, reflecting a fleeting dark beauty.
If Mou Jiawen hadn't been here, Chen Zhuo really wanted to corner Song Shiwei and flirt with her harshly with a taboo that would destroy her beauty.
Unfortunately, the time and place were not suitable, so Chen could only respond to Huang Baihan: "We have to go back to school, Yuanyuan, you should stop eating to lose weight."
"Oh……"
Huang Baihan felt inexplicably lost.
I don’t know if it’s because my good friends didn’t stay to celebrate the success together, or if there was some other reason.
"Bai Han, what is the relationship between that pretty girl who doesn't like to talk to people and Chen Zhuo?"
After Chen and their figures disappeared, Xu Yue slowly walked over and curiously inquired about Song Shiwei's identity.
"She is……"
Huang Baihan almost said the title "girlfriend", but fortunately he kept his mouth shut at the critical moment.
"We were in the same class in high school. We were both competitors and friends with common topics."
Huang Baihan replied calmly.
Hearing that they were just "classmates" and "friends", Xu Yue no longer had any intention of gossiping and invited the staff of the Science and Technology Department to go out for a midnight snack.
"Fortunately you kept your mouth shut at the last moment."
Wang Changhua likes to join in the fun, so he naturally wouldn’t go back to school so early, but would stay for a midnight snack together.
"I posted some photos of the lively milk tea shop in the cosplay group. Yu Xiaohua and Wu Baolong both said they would come over after the competition is over tomorrow."
Wang Changhua said with a sense of relief: "If you had accidentally let it slip just now, I don't know what the world would have become. It's terrifying to think about it."
"Isn't this a time to pull back from the brink?"
Huang Baihan also wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then he became happy again: "If Yu Xian comes, I will also ask her to help distribute flyers! With beautiful women supporting the event for two consecutive days, won't the influence of Royal Tea be further enhanced?"
"Pooh!"
Wang Changhua looked disdainful and said, "What a businessman you are. I am a music artist and I am ashamed to be associated with you."
