Around six o’clock in the evening, Luofeng sent Bai Lu a message on WeChat, suggesting they meet at their usual spot in the New Cafeteria.
The reply he received was just an "Oh."
But whether on the phone or in person, the little mute was still the little mute, not very talkative.
"Everyone, heading to the New Cafeteria for dinner?" Luofeng asked, placing his textbook on the table.
"Not me, I’m immersed in the ocean of knowledge!" Zhang Long replied.
WangGui added, "I’ll watch my online class a bit longer. If the New Cafeteria still has Kung Pao chicken, Brother Feng, could you grab a portion for me?"
"Same here!" Zhang Long chimed in.
"Alright, alright, alright!" Luofeng nodded. Soon after, he received sixteen yuan transferred from the two of them via WeChat.
Of course, Luofeng also sometimes asked others to help clean up. One mustn’t discard the principle of reciprocity just because they have money. Otherwise, you’d only end up with superficial friendships, not genuine connections.
Luofeng quickly spotted Bai Lu in a corner of the New Cafeteria.
"How’s the supermarket doing?" Luofeng asked while nibbling on a braised Large Meatball with his chopsticks.
He also glanced at Bai Lu’s attributes. Her appearance score had increased a bit. It clearly showed Bai Lu had good underlying features. She was just malnourished, too thin and small. As long as her nutrition improved, her appearance would also rise. However, her health level was still substandard. Perhaps her constitution was too weak and needed serious nourishment.
"The supermarket is doing great!" Bai Lu replied simply.
Her mood was quite complex at the moment. She had seen a post on the university forum, reposted from Normal University’s forum. She learned about Luofeng helping Shangguan Feier and had also seen Shangguan Feier’s photo. Even as a woman, she had to admit Shangguan Feier was indeed very beautiful. The crucial point was that Shangguan Feier and Shangguan Shui’er were twin sisters. A pang of sourness filled her heart. Even though she knew very well she had no chance with Luofeng, it didn’t stop her from feeling secretly upset. A saying suddenly resonated with Bai Lu: the most heart-wrenching feeling isn’t jealousy, but not even having the right to be jealous. That was precisely her current situation.
At seven in the evening, after dinner, Luofeng and Bai Lu went their separate ways.
"Guys, I brought you dinner. It might be cold, so you can heat it up in the microwave," Luofeng told his roommates.
Why was there a microwave in a university Dormitory? Don’t ask. If one asked, the answer was simply that Luofeng’s Dormitory lacked nothing. They even had air conditioning. One was asking about a microwave? The only thing missing was an electric massage bed.
"Thanks, Brother Feng!"
"Thank you, Boss!"
Both roommates were hungry. They each took their meal boxes and put them in the microwave. WangGui, too impatient to wait, felt that his was still warm enough, so he opened it and started eating right away.
Luofeng returned to his desk, intending to continue studying. But then, he received a WeChat call from Shangguan Feier.
What could she want from him at this hour?
"Classmate Shangguan, what’s the matter?" Luofeng put on his headset and spoke first.
"Boss, help me!" Shangguan Feier’s voice came through immediately.
"??? What happened???" Luofeng asked, puzzled.
Wang Xi had already been dealt with by Luofeng and was now ’inside,’ enjoying free meals. Who else could be bothering them?
"Excuse me, Boss, do you have time?"
"Boss, I need you to pretend to be my boyfriend for a bit!" Shangguan Feier said, not waiting for Luofeng’s reply before blurting out her second sentence.
It startled Luofeng.
"What’s the situation?" Although Luofeng had already mentally agreed to help Shangguan Feier, he still felt the need to feign surprise.

That made sense.
