Zhou Mengmeng saw Jiang Xu enter the men’s restroom and stood in place, silently timing him.
According to a survey she had done,
men generally take about thirty seconds in the restroom.
Including washing hands, it wouldn’t exceed forty seconds.
As for why Zhou Mengmeng would research such a thing?
Any information could be a stepping stone on her path to success.
Zhou Mengmeng silently counted in her heart.
When she reached twenty, she took out her mobile phone and started fiddling with it, head bowed.
At the same time, she walked at the pace of one step per second.
“Twenty-two.”
“Twenty-five.”
“Thirty.”
“Thirty-two.”
——————
As Zhou Mengmeng internally counted to thirty-three, her head bumped into a sturdy chest.
“Ah~”
Zhou Mengmeng let out a cry of surprise, instinctively stepping back half a step.
One hand on her forehead, she also lifted her head.
Her eyes revealed a trace of confusion.
Upon seeing Jiang Xu, her expression naturally transformed into one of seven parts surprise and three parts embarrassment.
“Is… Is that Brother Xu, I’m really sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose.”
This acting, if she were to compete for an Oscar, she would be unmatched.
Jiang Xu asked in surprise, “Miss Zhou, what are you doing here?”
“I came with my cousin. She said this restaurant just opened, so she brought me to try it out.” Zhou Mengmeng smiled shyly.
Then she added, “You can just call me Mengmeng or Xiao Zhou. I can’t bear being called Miss Zhou.”
Jiang Xu laughed, “Alright, then I’ll call you Mengmeng from now on.”
“Which booth are you guys in? I’ll go say hi.”
“We’re in booth 668. You go ahead, Brother Xu, I need to use the restroom.”
“Okay.”
The two passed by each other, Zhou Mengmeng’s nose slightly sniffing.
Hmm.
Just now, when she bumped into Jiang Xu, she smelled a very pleasant scent on him.
Very sunny.
Very manly.
This proves that the man’s physical condition is quite good.
Score plus one.
Jiang Xu knocked on the door of booth 668.
Zhou Qingyue opened the door.
Seeing that it was Jiang Xu, she showed a hint of surprise, “What are you doing here?”
Jiang Xu smiled, “I saw your sister outside just now and came over to say hi.”
“Come in and sit.” Zhou Qingyue stepped aside, “Jiang Xiaoyan is here too.”
“Okay.”
When Jiang Xu walked in, he saw Jiang Xiaoyan lounging with her legs crossed, holding a grilled chicken wing in her right hand, in a hooligan-like pose.
Upon seeing Jiang Xu, she almost choked in fright.
She hurriedly sat up properly, tossing aside the chicken wing and quickly explained, “A ghost possessed me just now, that wasn’t me.”
Zhou Qingyue: “…”
Jiang Xu: “…”
I believe you have a brain.
Jiang Xu sat opposite Jiang Xiaoyan and said, “I originally wanted to go to the café to thank you last time, but when I arrived, you had already run off.”
Jiang Xiaoyan suddenly felt a heartbreaking pain, as if she had made a billion-dollar mistake.
“Did you come here by yourself?” Zhou Qingyue put some barbecued meat in front of Jiang Xu and asked.
Jiang Xu, “With Nuonuo and her cousin.”
“Oh.” Zhou Qingyue nodded, “Why not call them over, and everyone can eat together?”
Her heart was now quite calm, fully let go, so there wouldn’t be any negativity.
“Sure.” Jiang Xu texted An Nuonuo.
An Nuonuo and Zhou Mengmeng came in together, having just met outside.
With a crowd, it got lively.
Especially since Jiang Xu was the only man there, he just couldn’t get a word in.
Zhou Mengmeng watched An Nuonuo and Chu Youwei, her eyes twinkling, “Both sisters look so ethereal and beautiful.”
Yet, she became cautious in her heart.
Although she had seen Chu Youwei’s photos and videos online.
Meeting her in person, she was even more beautiful, with a fragility akin to Lin Daiyu’s, which easily aroused a man’s protective instinct.
This was a formidable opponent.
There were also Jiang Xiaoyan, Bai Xiaoya, among others, who were not to be underestimated and each had their strengths.
Meanwhile, Zhou Mengmeng truly admired Jiang Xu.
Despite having so many outstanding and beautiful girls around him, he had never done anything to wrong An Nuonuo.
Just that alone put him above all other men in the world.
Chu Youwei immediately took a liking to this innocent and cute little sister before her.
She added her as a friend right there and then.
Jiang Xiaoyan glanced at Zhou Mengmeng, feeling very annoyed.
She didn’t know why.
She just found her irritating.
She grabbed a chicken leg and bit into it forcefully.
“Sister Xiaoyan, hello.” Zhou Mengmeng greeted her with a smile.
As a top-level pretender, she definitely perfected her superficial skills when others were around.
Even if she disliked Jiang Xiaoyan, her face showed not a trace of it.
“Hello, little sister,” Jiang Xiaoyan greeted her with a smile too.
She wasn’t foolish to show any dissatisfaction.
“Mengmeng is really skilled,” An Nuonuo said, “She can do needlework too, and she’s even better at it than me.”
She wouldn’t mention the comics issue without Zhou Mengmeng’s consent.
But other things were no problem.
Upon hearing this—
Chu Youwei looked at Zhou Mengmeng with surprise, “That’s amazing, nowadays very few people learn that.”
Zhou Mengmeng said shyly, “Not really, just picked it up casually.”
Zhou Qingyue was very surprised, “You can do needlework? I didn’t know that.”
“It’s not something to boast about.”
Such a docile and modest demeanor dramatically increased Jiang Xu’s favorable impression of her.
Yes.
Everyone except Jiang Xiaoyan.
Perhaps it was because they were naturally incompatible, Jiang Xiaoyan saw right through Zhou Mengmeng’s pretender act with just one glance.
She pursed her lips, eating her food nonchalantly.
She thought, it’s none of her business.
As long as Zhou Mengmeng didn’t provoke her, it was all fine.
If she did provoke her, she’d make sure Zhou Mengmeng regretted coming into this world.
Yes.
Jiang Xiaoyan’s approach to dealing with pretenders was straightforward.
What goes in a white blade comes out a red one.
Simple, fast, effective, no need for surplus words.
Zhou Mengmeng seemed to sense something, her gaze becoming more reserved.
With her keen intuition, she perceived that Jiang Xiaoyan might have a crazy streak.
She made up her mind to not provoke her in the future.
She just wanted to snatch Jiang Xu from An Nuonuo’s hands; she wasn’t prepared to risk her life.
In the room, it was just the two of them with a lot on their minds.
Everyone else was eating and drinking, laughing and chatting, creating a harmonious atmosphere.
Suddenly, an argument erupted from next door.
Everyone grew quiet.
The noise was too loud, with sounds of things being smashed.
Jiang Xu listened for a moment and understood.
A man had discovered his wife eating with other men, and not just one…
Unable to contain his anger, he started arguing.
The woman shouted, “What are you freaking out about? I’ve only been to a hotel room with them ten times, and I always used protection, it doesn’t count as wronging you!”
