He was well aware of the amount of money Xia Wan had earned from selling clothes over the past few days. It was just a meal, so it wasn’t a concern.

If it were only him, he could manage with inexpensive food. However, now that Liu Hua was present, Xia Chen hoped they could enjoy a better meal.

The trio headed to the second floor. The selection of dishes there was much broader than on the first floor.

They had Sichuan and Chongqing-style stir-fried dishes, specialty dishes, and even several Western options.

In the end, they opted for the stir-fried dishes.

Despite the bustling crowd, there were still three available tables. They picked a spot to the side and settled in.

Just then, a male voice chimed in. “Hey, isn’t that Senior Xia Chen? My sister is in the same grade as you and is now in university. Are you back in high school?”

Xia Wan furrowed her brows and turned her attention to the speaker.

The four young men sat together. Their table held three dishes, four bowls of rice, and four bottles of beer. Their appearance was far from that of exemplary students.

At a glance, Xia Wan could discern their nonchalant attitudes. Furthermore, the speaker had a clear hostility towards Xia Chen.

Xia Chen glanced at him. “Chu Yue. Congratulations to your sister for making it into a good university.”

Chu Yue was far from appreciative. He let out a disdainful snort before continuing, “Indeed, my sister is already in her second year of university. She excels academically and garners admiration from many, who even present her with various gifts. It’s a shame you didn’t get a chance to meet her.”

“At that time, you and she were well-regarded.”

Xia Wan paused, her interest piqued.

Chu Yue’s sister and brother had been acknowledged publicly as a couple?

She leaned closer to Xia Chen and inquired, “Brother, did you have a girlfriend before?”

Liu Hua also watched Xia Chen, his hands clutching his clothes corner. His feelings were indiscernible.

Xia Chen blushed. “No, we weren’t in a relationship. People just thought we were a good match.”

Chu Yue’s mocking tone grew louder. “Of course, you’ve always been aloof. You excel academically, attracting the attention of numerous girls. Consequently, you may think my sister isn’t worthy of you.

“You’re fully aware of her feelings for you, yet you choose to ignore them and dampen her spirits repeatedly.

“She’s in a relationship now. Her boyfriend is wealthy and handsome. He even intends to spend the New Year at our house.

“Let me tell you, letting my sister go was your loss.”

Xia Chen’s expression grew complex. He lowered his head, his thoughts obscured.

Initially, Xia Wan had regarded this as a mere story. But, hearing Chu Yue’s increasingly audacious statements, she stood in front of Xia Chen, shielding him from Chu Yue’s gaze.

“Your sister is living well. We wish her the best. You need not provoke my brother with these matters.

“Why? Just because your sister had feelings for my brother, does that mean he had to agree to be with her and attend the same university?”

Chu Yue stared at Xia Wan. “So, Xia Chen is your brother. How much do you know about him?”

Xia Wan held her ground. “How much do I know? How much do you know? The situation between my brother and your sister is none of your concern. Hence, you have no right to discuss it.”

Then, she tugged Xia Chen. “Let’s go, Brother. Let’s eat. Don’t waste time on him.”

A waiter, who’d been waiting, hastened over as they finished their conversation.

“Wanwan, shall we find another place to eat?” Liu Hua suggested softly.

Xia Wan responded, “No need. He doesn’t own this place. Why shouldn’t we eat here?”

With that, she ordered loudly: sweet and sour pork, chicken with mushrooms, spicy cabbage, three servings of rice, a large drink, and a bowl of green bean porridge.

The waiter was content. Xia Wan’s choices were all high-priced dishes.

“Seems like you’re doing quite well. You’re dining lavishly,” Chu Yue taunted.

Xia Chen was about to respond, but Xia Wan intervened. “Don’t bother with him, Brother.”

As she spoke, she retrieved her MP4 player and handed a pair of headphones to Liu Hua.

Seeing this, Xia Chen also retrieved his MP4 player and put on his headphones. As expected, the world around them grew quieter.

The guy beside Chu Yue muttered, “Brother Chu, they seem wealthy. That’s the latest MP4 model. It costs two to three hundred yuan. That’s equivalent to my dad’s monthly salary.”

Chu Yue’s expression soured.

“Let’s leave,” he declared, rising from his seat.

After the four of them departed, Xia Wan glanced at their retreating figures and removed her headphones. Simultaneously, she took off Xia Chen’s headphones.

“Brother, they’re gone.. Can you tell us about you and Sister Chu Yue?”
