Chapter 213: Square Dance on the Sports Field

On the quiet and desolate sports field, the moonlight and streetlights shone in tandem, illuminating the surroundings with a bright glow; amidst a burst of laughter and chatter, Wu Yue'er and her group walked onto the field.

At a single glance, Lin Yang noticed the two people frolicking and playing on the lawn.

He saw Shen Yan clasping the back of Hao Anqi's neck, while Hao Anqi playfully beat on Shen Yan's back in protest.

"Isn't that Old Shen and his girlfriend!"

Everyone turned their gazes over in unison, their expressions immediately varying; Wu Yue'er, however, took it quite well, merely curling her lips.

Whether one's mood is good or bad, it is still a day; why not let oneself be a little happier?

At the very least, most of Shen Yan's time was occupied by her.

Yu Youwei bit her lower lip lightly, her eyes filled with resentment, thinking to herself that so much time had passed, why hadn't these two broken up yet.

At this moment, she even had the impulse to turn around and leave, to have "out of sight, out of mind," but inside she also had a stubborn streak—why should she have to retreat three steps just because Hao Anqi was here?

Wouldn't that just make her look weaker than the other party?

She insisted on staying here and watching.

Chen Shanni was much more indifferent, recalling in her mind what her mother had said to her in private that day: "Shanni, Mom can tell that you have a good impression of Shen Yan; the young man is indeed very talented. If you can end up with him, I believe your father won't have any objections."

"If you like someone, you must know how to take the initiative to fight for it. My daughter is born beautiful as a flower and comes from a superior family background; you are not worse than anyone else."

To this, Chen Shanni merely shook her head.

From beginning to end, she never had too many extravagant hopes, and given her personality, she simply couldn't bring herself to engage in those acts of jealousy; furthermore, she could tell that Shen Yan was not the type of person to be fickle.

Rashly expressing her feelings would only make both sides very awkward and lead to an unmanageable situation.

Let it be for now.

Everyone stole glances at Yu Youwei; Yu Youwei had never hidden her thoughts, but seeing this scene now... Huh! Why was she so calm?

Harboring various thoughts, the group arrived at the center of the sports field; Shen Yan was taken aback upon seeing this, not expecting that a square dance would attract all these people.

He smiled and greeted the group, his gaze lingering slightly on Wu Yue'er's face; Wu Yue'er sent back a provocative look, as if saying: "Scared, aren't you? Letting you call the enchantress over."

Shen Yan really didn't have the slightest intention of panicking; Huniu was a bit reckless and her temper was a bit wild, but Shen Yan considered that he already had her firmly in his grasp.

What the hell was there to be afraid of!

Hao Anqi stood by Shen Yan's side, waving to everyone with poise and grace; except for Yu Youwei, everyone responded kindly, and Wu Yue'er even linked arms with Hao Anqi, looking like good sisters.

"An Qi, let me tell you, this guy Shen Yan skips class all day long; who knows if he's flirting and having a good time outside, you really need to keep an eye on him."

Everyone pursed their lips and snickered; only Wu Yue'er could make jokes so unscrupulously.

Shen Yan's eye twitched violently; it seemed the problem of Huniu's itchy backside hadn't been cured yet, and he would have to increase the dosage later. Hao Anqi smiled sweetly and said, "He is so smart; rather than wasting time staying at school, it's better to earn more money outside."

Earning money?

Lin Yang and the others were all stunned; they had thought that when Shen Yan skipped class, he was sleeping, flirting, or playing games, but the situation seemed different from what they had imagined.

"Old Shen, are you usually earning money outside of school?" Zhu Baoping hurriedly pressed for an answer.

No one was more eager for money than he was; he mused that if Shen Yan had some path, it wouldn't hurt to get involved—anything was better than being exploited in the External Liaison Department.

Lin Yang, Tang Song, and Luo Qiqi all cast their gazes over.

Hao Anqi stuck her tongue out at Shen Yan cutely; she hadn't been paying attention and wondered how she had forgotten this point. After so long, her little boyfriend had actually kept it so tightly under wraps without letting out a single whisper.

He was truly more patient than a Ninja Turtle.

Fortunately, she hadn't revealed anything.

Shen Yan sighed and said with a melancholy face, "You guys don't know how painful it is to have a foodie girlfriend; if I don't earn some money, that little bit of living expenses is simply not enough for her to squander."

Hao Anqi grinned, took a small step back, and quietly reached out to give his waist a light pinch.

Passing the buck was one thing, but he was actually complaining that she was a foodie in public.

Did she, Hao, not have any face?

Yu Youwei, Wu Yue'er, and Chen Shanni were trembling, almost unable to hold back their laughter; if they hadn't known some of the inside story, they really would have been fooled by Shen Yan.

A total drama queen!

If you can act so well, why don't you join the entertainment industry?

The others believed it to be true and looked at Hao Anqi with astonishment, not expecting that an ordinary little girl could eat so much, forcing Shen Yan to go out and work to earn money.

Even with Hao Anqi's thick skin, she couldn't quite handle it at this moment; she said awkwardly, "Shen Yan was just joking earlier; actually, I have a very small appetite, and... and..."

"I knew it, how could a little girl eat so much."

"Exactly, Old Shen really loves to joke."

Several people laughed it off to provide a way out.

They couldn't just let a little girl be left in such an awkward spot, could they?

Alright! Seeing that although they said they believed it, their eyes were filled with doubt, Hao Anqi felt extremely helpless in her heart; but since things had reached this point, she had no choice but to honestly carry this big black pot.

Actually, it didn't count as carrying a pot; she was indeed a big foodie.

Perhaps Shen Yan also felt she could eat too much and thought of this idea as a reflex.

Noticing Hao Anqi's aggrieved expression, Shen Yan touched her little head and even made a funny face at her mischievously; Hao Anqi didn't seem to buy it, pouting and remaining unhappy.

At this time, Zhu Baoping asked Shen Yan again: "Old Shen, how do you earn money outside? If you have a path, bring me along."

Shen Yan indicated that it was not convenient to disclose it for the time being; Zhu Baoping felt that Shen Yan was not enough of a friend, always doing his own thing and keeping everything hidden, and he felt some dissatisfaction toward Shen Yan in his heart.

Shen Yan didn't care about what Zhu Baoping thought; if a friend could be gotten along with, then fine, if not, it didn't matter.

Not long after, ten people from the Art Department arrived at the sports field; Chen Xiaowei and Zuo Qingfeng were among them, followed by a dozen others, all brought by the Art Department to fill the numbers.

Among them, the round-bodied Pangzi Jiang Yingyu was pulling a black speaker that reached his knees; just by its appearance, one could tell the quality was quite good.

At a glance, the scale of the square dance had already reached thirty or forty people, and the scene suddenly became lively.

After simple pleasantries, Jiang Yingyu began to tune the speaker; before long, a burst of impassioned music drifted over the sports field and gradually spread into the distance.

In an instant, the gazes of everyone on the field focused here; this formation... it seemed to be the prelude to a square dance.

No way? College students forming a group to do a square dance?

Isn't this just talking nonsense?

However, the bizarre thing happened regardless, and they could not help but believe it.
