Zhi Jinhua was lost in thought for a moment. She sat down stiffly, turned her head to one side, stretched out one arm, and propped her forehead up with a frustrated expression, saying jokingly, "Now I know why you're the school heartthrob."

"you flatter me."

Xia Linyuan said softly, then sat down next to Zang Long.

Opposite him was a strange man wearing an iron mask. Judging from his skin, he was no older than 20. He had dyed his hair gray and looked very mature, but his eyes were unusually clear.

Xia Linyuan and he locked eyes.

The man said calmly, "My name is Yun."

"Nice to meet you."

Xia Linyuan nodded.

"Linglong, Linglong, stop eating, there's a handsome guy here."

A petite-looking girl nudged the pink-haired girl who was engrossed in eating tofu pudding and whispered something.

babble babble

The pink-haired girl ignored everything and kept putting food into her mouth with the white porcelain spoon. Hearing the small girl's voice, she said loudly, "Shi Xue, this is not right of you. You can look at handsome guys anytime, but not when it comes to food. Slurp~ My great-grandfather and master only let me eat three meals a day and don't let me have midnight snacks. Disturbing my meal just to look at handsome guys is not worth it for me. Slurp slurp slurp."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at them.

Zang Long slammed his hand on the table and exclaimed passionately, "As expected of Linglong! Your words are so insightful! Only a good girl like Linglong, who doesn't judge by appearances but by inner qualities, could say something like that. That's right! Handsome guys are always available! You must eat well! That makes so much sense. I've decided that this will be my guiding principle from now on!"

"Shut up, you damn simp!"

"You have a problem with a miserly person?"

Zang Long and Bai Shixue immediately started arguing.

Yun chuckled and said to Xia Linyuan in a very gentlemanly manner, "Don't mind them, the two of them are often like this."

Xia Linyuan nodded, indicating his understanding: "They have a very good relationship."

Hearing Xia Linyuan say this, Yun Wei glanced at him and said, "They do have a good relationship. They've been arguing ever since they met, but they've never fought."

In Xia Linyuan's eyes, although the two people were arguing, the fierce expressions on their faces were definitely feigned.

They're kind of like a pair of bickering lovers...

At this moment, Lu Linglong finished her tofu pudding and patted her stomach contentedly, saying, "I'm full, I'm full..."

Chapter 51 Sense of Distance

Lu Linglong leaned back in her chair, her eyes sweeping across the room. She was startled to see Xia Linyuan chatting happily with Yun. She tugged at Zhi Jinhua to her right: "When did Xia Linyuan arrive?!"

Zhi Jinhua was speechless. "You've been here so long, and you only just noticed?" she said helplessly. "It was when you were eating your ninth bowl of tofu pudding."

"Oh my god, so he saw all my embarrassing moments!"

Lu Linglong covered her face, saying in disbelief.

"Yeah, it's because Xue'er told you to look at handsome guys, but you didn't look and instead made a bunch of comments."

Zhi Jinhua said calmly.

"Help! I'm dying! Flower, save me~"

Lu Linglong buried her head in Zhi Jinhua's arms and said in a sweet voice. She tugged at Zhi Jinhua's sleeve, looked up at Zhi Jinhua, and saw a pair of big, watery eyes that truly evoked pity.

"How can I save you? You can just say hello to them."

Zhi Jinhua couldn't stand Lu Linglong's appearance, so she casually offered a suggestion.

"Okay, Flower, I believe you!"

Lu Linglong withdrew her supernatural powers and spoke to Zhi Jinhua with a resolute expression. She seemed a little dazed.

After saying that, she stood up and said loudly to Xia Linyuan, "Mr. Xia! Is your... burrito delicious?"

Lu Linglong was about to greet him when she was drawn to the deluxe wrap in Xia Linyuan's hand. She blurted out the name without thinking.

Xia Linyuan, who was discussing the ruler method with Yun, was taken aback. Looking into Lu Linglong's clear eyes, he said softly, "It tastes good."

"Uh-huh."

Lu Linglong nodded emphatically and sat down calmly.

Xia Linyuan glanced at Lu Linglong, amused. *My wraps aren't for you to eat...*

"By the way, Yuan'er, you're fighting Zhang Lingyu today! Are you confident?"

At this moment, Zang Long looked at the match schedule on his phone and asked Xia Linyuan.

Xia Linyuan chuckled: "I will do my best."

"No, give me a straight answer! I need to place my bet. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll lose money."

Zang Long chuckled, then put on a pitiful look.

Xia Linyuan saw through Zang Long's plan at a glance, pretended to think for a moment, and laughed, "If you're afraid of losing money, just bet on me to win. We're roommates, I don't have that kind of confidence in you."

Zang Long was overjoyed; he had finally gotten the information out of him: "Okay~ then I have to bet on you to win!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Linglong's eyes widened: "Fat Dragon, what are Mr. Xia's odds now?"

Zang Long, slightly reserved and shy, said, "Yuan's odds are now 3 times."

Three times the price! What to do? I really want to buy it!

But could Xia Linyuan defeat Zhang Daoren?

Lu Linglong's big eyes darted around as she looked at Xia Linyuan and said, "Ahem, Mr. Xia, Zhang Lingyu is a tough opponent! Are you sure you have the confidence?"

Xia Linyuan noticed that she was the girl who had been chopped into charcoal by Zhang Lingyu. In order not to make her look bad, he chose to be more modest and said, "Master Zhang is very powerful. If I want to defeat him, I'm afraid I will have to go through a fierce battle."

"Oh~"

Lu Linglong lay down, struggling with the decision of which player to buy. Her chubby face was practically scrunched up in a frown.

Time passed slowly.

The group finished their breakfast.

Xia Linyuan glanced at the time and asked the group, "Are you all going to the competition venue?"

The Lu family members remained silent, all turning their gazes towards Lu Linglong. This surprised Xia Linyuan, who stroked his chin with interest, 'The leader, huh...'

Lu Linglong pondered for a moment and said, "Zang Long is going to the competition venue to monitor the situation, and we also need to go to the back mountain to survey the terrain. Quanxing is going up the mountain, so we can't let them leave so easily."

Xia Linyuan nodded and reminded the group, "The Four Madmen may also be hiding in the back mountain, so you should be careful."

Lu Linglong was taken aback and quickly asked, "Has Mr. Xia seen them?"

Xia Linyuan nodded: "I saw three. I didn't see Dou Mei; she must have gone up the mountain too. You should be careful going to the back mountain."

"Understood, thank you for reminding me, Mr. Xia."

Lu Linglong thanked her sincerely, but then seemed to remember something and quickly asked, "What arrangements has your company made in the back mountain? We know about the arrangements of the North China company, but we don't know about the East China company."

Xia Linyuan smiled slightly: "Don't worry about us in East China. Just do it the way we agreed with North China. We in East China are really just playing a supporting role."

"Alright, the match starts in thirty minutes, so I'll be going now. I wish you all the best."

After Xia Linyuan finished speaking, he took the trash he had made from his breakfast with him and left the cafeteria with Zang Long.

"Wow, what incredible luck that fat guy had! His roommate is so handsome. He must date a lot of girls!"

Bai Shixue muttered to herself as she watched Zang Long's retreating figure.

"What's wrong, Xue'er? Are you jealous?"

Zhi Jinhua leaned close to Bai Shixue and teased her.

Everyone knew Bai Shixue's thoughts, except for Zang Long.

"Pah, pah, pah, being jealous of that fatso is just bad luck." Bai Shixue proudly raised her neck, revealing her delicate white neck.

"Hehe, you can't judge a person based on their appearance. I don't think Mr. Xia is the kind of person who likes to flirt with women."

Yun spoke up quietly from the side.

Lu Linglong looked over and asked, "Why?"

Yun gently stroked her ruler and said calmly, "A person who knows how to use a ruler is definitely not a promiscuous person."

"Well, Mr. Yun is right. Let's go up the mountain."

Lu Linglong sighed and then addressed the crowd.

Afterwards, the rest of the Lu family followed Lu Linglong out of the cafeteria. Lu Linglong subconsciously looked at Xia Linyuan's back.

Zhi Jinhua noticed this instantly and asked in a low voice, "Why have you taken a liking to him?"

Lu Linglong blushed deeply and whispered, "What nonsense are you talking about? I just think he's a little strange."

"Strange?" Zhi Jinhua was taken aback, feeling a little disappointed. She had thought the child had grown up.

Lu Linglong whispered, "I'm telling you, but don't tell anyone else."

"You said it, anyway, I think Xia Linyuan is a really good person, handsome and gentlemanly. Your mother approves of your relationship," Zhi Jinhua said.

Lu Linglong stomped her feet in anger: "Listen to me!"
