BXBX NOVEL Chapter 142 - Dumbstruck
Chapter 142: Dumbstruck
The cafe immediately descended into complete silence.
Everyone’s eyes were focused on the beautiful young woman who had come in from the entrance.
The young woman was tall, slender, and curvaceous. She wore a pure white dress that flaunted her flawless legs, and she had a face that could launch a thousand ships.
As she walked, her long black hair waved and shimmered like a waterfall. The morning sun shone on her face, enveloping it in a thin layer of light, as though she had walked out of a dream.
She was like the moon which outshone all the stars in the night sky.
Her arrival at the cafe had outshone everyone around her.
All the eyes in the cafe were focused on her. The boys all looked infatuated, while the girls felt slightly ashamed of themselves.
She was too beautiful. Perhaps that was an example of someone with the face of an angel and the body of a devil.
She was the new beauty queen, Liu Bingyao.
Everyone at Z University knew who Liu Bingyao was. She had caused a commotion on Orientation Day. Many college seniors had crowded around to look at her, which caused a massive traffic jam.
After that, she had become the goddess of many male students in the university.
“Oh my god! It’s the beauty queen! She’s too beautiful!” Exclamations were heard in the cafe.
The boys looked at her eagerly with unblinking eyes. Even Tang Bowen and the other guys in his group all looked starstruck.
A crowd gathered outside of the cafe to look inside through the glass windows.
“Why would the beauty queen be having coffee alone?”
Everyone’s eyes sparkled. A few were raring to make a move.
Liu Bingyao’s eyes swept over the interior of the cafe. Suddenly, she fixed her gaze upon a seat near the window, then walked toward there.
Everyone followed her gaze and they naturally saw Tang Hao.
They were immediately stunned.
There were plenty of empty seats available in the cafe. Why was the beauty queen heading there? Right, she must like window seats!
There was only one available window seat left in the cafe, and it was next to the shabby kid.
“F*ck! Who’s this kid? He’s so lucky!”
The boys in the cafe were staring daggers at Tang Hao.
Meanwhile, Tang Bowen was taken aback. When he came to his senses, his expression looked ghastly.
He was extremely envious. In his eyes, his younger cousin brother was a useless person who did not belong in Z University, much less have the new beauty queen sit next to him.
‘Don’t! Don’t sit there!’ All the boys in the cafe were thinking of the same thing.
They silently looked at Liu Bingyao, praying to all their gods that she would not sit next to that kid.
Even so, Liu Bingyao stopped walking when she was next to that seat. She looked at Tang Hao and smiled.
The smile was like a million flowers blooming in spring and brightened the surroundings.
Tang Hao was caught in a daze. She had dressed up to meet him. She wore light make-up and a pair of crystal earrings. Her hair was combed straight and draped over her shoulders.
Tang Hao thought that she was more beautiful than the last time they met.
“You’re here!” He smiled.
“Yup! Sorry to keep you waiting!” Liu Bingyao covered her mouth and smiled, then sat down.
Everyone in the cafe turned into the stone when they overheard the conversation. Their eyes bulged and their faces displayed extremely incredulity.
‘Oh my god! What did I just hear?’
The two people knew each other? Furthermore, the beauty queen was at the cafe for a date with the shabby kid?
It seemed that the two were very close to each other too!
Everyone was stunned. They could not believe it.
Who was Liu Bingyao but a goddess-level figure in Z University, and who was the kid, who looked somewhat handsome but dressed shabbily?
Many people overheard Tang Bowen’s conversation with him and knew that the kid was not a student of Z University, but only a poor kid from a mountain village. How did these two people know each other?
As a beauty queen, Liu Bingyao was not short of pursuers. No one had been able to catch her attention, so how could she be so friendly toward this poor village kid?
Tang Bowen was stunned. “This is impossible...” he mumbled.
The other people in his group were also slack-jawed.
They could not believe that the person the kid was waiting for was Z University’s beauty queen!
They had looked at him with condescension earlier, but now, they looked at him with envy.
Liu Bingyao stuck out a tongue at Tang Hao when she noticed the awkward atmosphere of her surroundings. “Should we... go somewhere else?” She said with a smile.
“It’s fine!” Tang Hao said, then beckoned to a waitress.
Both of them ordered a vanilla latte each.
“That will be forty yuan!” The waitress said.
“Let me pay for it!” Liu Bingyao said as she took her wallet out.
“No, let me take this one!” Tang Hao said urgently.
Then, he retrieved his wallet from his pocket. He went cross-eyed when he opened it. He had only about twenty yuan worth of cash inside.
He did not keep a lot of cash in his wallet. Instead, his pocket dimension carried stacks of banknotes worth more than a million yuan.
He could have retrieved the money from his pocket dimension, but he did not want to be mistaken for performing a magic trick in public!
The waitress was also stunned when she saw his wallet.
Who would take the beauty queen on a date and forget to bring money?
“I’ll pay for it then!” Liu Bingyao smiled.
Everyone exclaimed in surprise when they saw the scene.
“Oh my god! This kid forgot to bring money!”
“He’s a genius!”
Tang Hao grunted disdainfully and his gaze was sinister. “Are you sure he forgot to bring money? I don’t think he has the money. Can a poor loser like him afford expensive coffee?”
“It’s fine! You treated me last time. I’ll have to pay this time,” Tang Hao said urgently.
Everyone wailed when they heard that.
“Oh my god! There was a ‘last time’? Is the beauty queen blind to go on multiple dates with this guy?”
“Is he even a man to have the girl foot the bill?”
Tang Hao rummaged his wallet, and his eyes sparkled. He took out a debit card. “Can I pay with my debit card here?” He said to the waitress.
The waitress was surprised. “Yes,” she replied while nodding.
“Alright, I’ll pay by card then!” Tang Hao gave the waitress the debit card.
The waitress was taken aback when she took the card.
The card looked rather unique. It was black and gold, and a flying dragon was embossed on it. She had never seen a debit card like that before.
Everyone was also confused when they saw it.
“What bank is that from? I’ve never seen that before,” Many people mumbled to themselves.
“It must be from some trashy bank!” Tang Bowen said disdainfully.
He knew that his younger cousin brother was a poor delivery boy.
Suddenly, someone shouted. “Oh my god! That’s the Black Gold card from Huaxia Bank!”
