Big socks! Do you even understand how you kiss a villain?

The bodyguards were clearly highly professional; even though it was their first time seeing someone so timid, they didn't show any change in expression.

"Mr. Shen, Miss is not injured." The lead bodyguard had already put away his pistol and stood protectively beside Yi Qingyue.

"Yi Qingyue, come here."

The man, referred to as President Shen, walked over unhurriedly. He was wearing a dark suit, and his sculpted features appeared somewhat cold and hard under the lights, exuding an aura of asceticism.

The cowardly Zuo You gritted her teeth and rushed forward when she heard Yi Qingyue's name, shielding the dazed Yi Qingyue behind her and trying her best to stop herself from trembling.

"Who are you? Don't even think about taking my sister away while I'm here."

The man's cold, narrow eyes locked onto Zuo You like a fierce beast. Seeing that her protectiveness seemed genuine, he then turned his gaze to what was behind her.

"Yi Qingyue, don't make me say it a second time."

"Come on then." Yi Qingyue pouted and walked out from behind Zuo You, standing timidly beside the man, looking as if she was afraid of him.

She explained to Zuo You in a low voice, "This is my uncle. I won't be going back with you later."

“I don’t want this to happen again, like bringing her to a bar to order male models.” The man’s eyes were cold and his presence was incredibly intimidating.

The chill intensified, especially when he looked at Shen Yan, who was not far away.

"So domineering, you're such a domineering CEO~" Knowing that he was Yi Qingyue's uncle, Zuo You felt a little relieved, but her mouth started itching again, and she muttered to herself.

After speaking, she was afraid that the man would hear her, so she secretly looked over and found that the man's gaze towards Yi Qingyue was somewhat...inappropriate?

[System, is this man the female lead's? Or does he like Yi Qingyue?]

I don't know, he and the female lead don't have a romantic storyline.

Now Zuo You has a pretty good idea of ​​what's going on.

"If you really care about her, you should first think about why she was put in solitary confinement," Zuo You suddenly said, looking at the man with a probing gaze.

"You're the study companion she chose?" The man finally looked at Zuo You properly, his eyes revealing a confrontation only the two of them understood.

Zuo You raised her head slightly, her voice firm and strong: "Yes! She is also her good friend."

She was gambling. Gambling that he cared about Yi Qingyue, gambling that he was destined to be cannon fodder.

There always needs to be teammates to make things difficult for the female lead, otherwise she'll just become cannon fodder. This man is quite suitable.

The man smiled, his cold gaze fixed on Zuo You. "Give her my business card."

The bodyguard immediately handed over a black business card with gold lettering, on which were three large, elegant characters: Shen Yubai.

A telephone number is also attached to the back.

Zuo You didn't know if Yi Qingyue had been safely brought home by her indifferent uncle; all she knew was that Shen Yan was about to leave her speechless.

"Shen Yan, who taught you to drive like that?"

It turns out that people can actually laugh out loud when they're extremely angry.

Shen Yan was driving Zuo You's pink electric scooter at a snail's pace when a couple pushing a stroller on the sidewalk next to them looked at them and laughed: "What a romantic young couple, riding an electric scooter on the sidewalk."

Shen Yan's ears turned red, and she silently accelerated forward for a while, then slowed down when she saw that no one was around.

Zuo You was speechless for a long time before finally speaking slowly: "Can you hurry up? People will laugh at my little pink one if you keep doing this."

"Didn't you say to go slowly?"

"But don't go that slow!"

"Ah."

Shen Yan silently quickened her pace.

Soon, Zuo You was safely delivered by Shen Yan.

"Pay up." The man uttered two words and showed his QR code for payment.

Zuo You didn't waste any words and took out her phone, saying, "Add me as a friend first, then transfer the money."

After adding each other as friends, Zuo You transferred half of the money, saying, "You haven't reached the time you promised today, so I can't transfer it all to you unless..."

Shen Yan wasn't angry that he was acting so shamelessly, and asked, "Unless what?"

"Unless you stay home all night and keep in touch with me constantly, I'll give you the rest of the money right after midnight." Zuo You was really going all out to avoid meeting the female lead.

"can."

Shen Yan readily made a voice call to Zuo You and strode away.

He recently found three part-time jobs, so he'll just take a good rest tonight; after all, nobody wants to turn down money.

Zuo You got home, plugged in her phone, checked the call duration, and called out somewhat worriedly, "Shen Yan?"

"Yes," Shen Yan replied simply.

He didn't seem to be home yet; Zuo You could hear the rustling of footsteps.

She felt a little relieved, but before going to take a shower, she still reminded him, "Don't hang up the phone, don't talk to other girls, and definitely don't go with her!"

As Shen Yan listened to the unreasonable demands on the receiver, he couldn't help but wonder what she was thinking. She seemed very afraid that someone would come looking for her tonight, and that person seemed to be a girl.

"Hey, did you hear that?"

"Ah."

Shen Yan responded softly, but there was no further response from the other end of the phone, though the call continued.

Just as he was about to put his phone in his pocket, a notification popped up in his notification bar.

Barbecue owner: We're getting a lot of orders tonight, Xiao Shen, do you want to come help out? I'll give you a raise.

Shen Yan replied without hesitation: Thank you, I won't go tonight.

Qinglong Street.

The boys, who had just been through a chaotic fight, sat awkwardly together, each unwilling to look at the other.

"What would you like to eat? I'll get it for you."

When the girl spoke, the others all said in unison, "You stay here, I'll go!"

Su Nuannuan smiled and shook her head, "Okay, then I'll just wait to eat what's ready!"

Two boys rushed to the ordering area first, while the rest of the boys who didn't get a chance could only sit in their seats.

"Are you still a student?" Finally, a boy mustered up the courage to speak, and the others quickly looked at Su Nuannuan, their eyes full of curiosity.

Su Nuannuan's heart stirred. In other people's eyes, these people might be good-for-nothing hooligans, but in her opinion, they were all forced into this state. If given a chance, they might not be like this now.

At least so far, she has not encountered any truly heinous villains.

Thinking of this, her smile warmed even more, and she said softly, "I'm a junior at Rhodes College, the same age as you."

“How can we compare to you? Rhodes Academy is a prestigious academy. The students there are either academically gifted or come from very wealthy families. And you are so...so beautiful and kind. We are just drifting through life.”

Su Nuannuan's smile deepened as she comforted him, "Don't feel sorry for yourself. How will you know you can't do it if you don't try? You need to learn to leverage your strengths and amplify your advantages."

"But we don't have any advantages either." The two who ordered the food returned and were a little unhappy to find that the seat next to Su Nuannuan had been taken.

"Who says you have no merits? You are righteous, generous, and brave, those are all qualities."

For the first time, a group of people realized they had so many good qualities. Thinking about it carefully, it made sense. They were never afraid to fight, and they were willing to go to great lengths for their friends. As for generosity, they would definitely be much more generous than the rich when they became wealthy.

“Nuan Nuan is right, we are all still young and have opportunities! From today onwards, you are our friend, and we will go through fire and water for you if you are in trouble!” a boy suddenly said, and a chorus of agreement followed.

The boy closest to Su Nuannuan suddenly stood up and said angrily, "Nuannuan, what happened to the injury on your face? Did someone bully you?"

Su Nuannuan quickly covered the faint scratches on her face with her hand, looking somewhat embarrassed: "It's nothing, I bumped into it by accident."

Everyone panicked, "Nuan Nuan, don't you consider us your friends? If you've been bullied, we're definitely going to get revenge for you!"

Su Nuannuan smiled helplessly: "You guys are making a mountain out of a molehill. It's normal for classmates to have some minor conflicts."
