Chapter 410: Zhu Baoping Takes a Difficult Step

This sentence filled Yu Youwei with deep emotion.

Yes! From childhood to adulthood, hadn't Shen Yan and she been exactly like this, sneaking into each other's homes for meals, which was why their relationship was so close and intimate? It was a pity...

As the two of them moved along different tracks, their intersections became fewer and fewer.

And Shen Yan had also made countless friends, no longer needing her.

Yuan Mingqing's face revealed a gossipy look: "Guess, who will Shen Yan end up with in the end?"

Tang Song shook his head: "Hard to say. From a man's perspective, Chen Shanni is more suitable to be a wife; she is gentle and quiet, and her conditions match in every aspect. However, looking at Wu Yue'er's performance just now, I reckon Old Shen won't be able to resist for long."

Yuan Mingqing tilted his head to look at Luo Qiqi: "What do you think, Qiqi?"

"Ah?" Luo Qiqi seemed to wake from a dream; she lifted her head and smiled reluctantly: "I don't know either. Matters like this still depend on the thoughts of the people involved."

"In the dark, I have a feeling that the three of them will have a very deep entanglement," Yuan Mingqing said.

Tang Song's expression froze: "You mean... as time goes on, it's very likely that Old Shen won't be able to let go of either side?"

That's right!

How had he not thought of that?

As a hot-blooded man, if two girls were both infatuated with him at the same time—one gentle and quiet, the other passionate and unrestrained—and crucially, both were top-tier beauties, putting himself in those shoes, Tang Song didn't know how he would choose either.

According to the thoughts of a normal man... it should be to have both.

Hiss!

Thinking of this, Tang Song couldn't help but gasp; damn it! It was enough to make one die of envy; suddenly, he yearned for that kind of life as happy as an immortal.

It was a pity he wasn't Shen Yan and didn't have such great ability.

Hearing this, Yu Youwei suddenly gave a start.

No way!

How could the world of romance tolerate a third party? Shen Yan shouldn't be capable of such an outrageous and absurd thing; otherwise, how would he conduct himself when the time came?

Chen Shanni and Wu Yue'er would surely tear him apart alive.

Looking again at the calm figure beside her, Yu Youwei let out a soft breath.

It was fortunate that this best friend was relatively rational and hadn't plunged in headlong.

Yu Youwei wondered whether she should give Shen Yan a piece of advice, but right now everything was just speculation; who knew what Shen Yan's truest thoughts were?

Forget it, forget it!

Just let him be, lest she become annoying again.

That evening, the news that Wu Yue'er was preparing to open a milk tea shop on Gourmet Street spread like wildfire, simply because the two living signboards were too conspicuous.

One was the Most Beautiful School Beauty, the other was the school-famous "Rice Noodle Brother."

It was hard not to attract attention.

Seeing the discussions in the class group and the campus forum, Wu Yue'er was as happy as a monkey, jumping up and down; the milk tea shop had caused such a stir before it even opened.

The celebrity effect was evident.

This wave was a huge profit!

As soon as Zhu Baoping returned to the dormitory, he asked Tang Song impatiently: "Old Tang, have you heard that Wu Yue'er is going to open a shop on Gourmet Street?"

"How could I not have heard? I even inspected the site in person."

Tang Song, who was strumming his guitar, didn't even lift his head and replied casually.

"Then do you know where Wu Yue'er got so much money? Opening a shop has to cost at least a hundred thousand or so."

Lin Yang, who was playing a game, quietly pricked up his ears.

Tang Song said with composure: "It was lent to Wu Yue'er by the little rich girl. I really don't know what the little rich girl's family background is, to lend such a large sum of money just like that."

Hearing this, Zhu Baoping clicked his tongue twice: "I don't know what Old Shen is thinking. The little rich girl has looks and money, and her personality is gentle. Not making a move on such a good cabbage—once you miss this village, you won't find this shop."

Tang Song rolled his eyes: "You think everyone is like you? Old Shen is a very devoted person; it's not that easy for him to walk out of his previous relationship."

"What's wrong with me? Dating isn't marriage. If this one isn't suitable, just switch to the next one; what's there to be conflicted about?" Zhu Baoping curled his lips.

In his view, Shen Yan was no different from a fool; having money and not knowing how to indulge in luxury and pleasure—how could a single tree compare to a vast forest?

Sleep with this one today, switch to that one tomorrow.

Three hundred and sixty days without repeating.

Sleeping together under one quilt was the ultimate pursuit of a man; it was hard to imagine how wonderful such a life would be.

Tang Song shook his head and laughed; a novice who had never even dated, how could he know the taste of it? If one really liked a person, how could it be forgotten just by saying so?

"By the way, you haven't been handing out flyers these past few days and you've been coming back so late; could it be that you're dating?" Tang Song looked at Zhu Baoping suspiciously.

Zhu Baoping's heart jumped, but his face remained calm: "I don't have money to date; I'm out looking for ways to make money."

"Being a driving school agent is actually quite profitable. It's a bit difficult at the start, but once the situation is fully opened up, word of mouth spreads, and old customers introduce new ones, it will naturally become smoother and smoother."

Tang Song advised Zhu Baoping not to mess around and to focus on one path, but Zhu Baoping waved his hand perfunctorily.

In one ear, out the other.

Compared to the slow pace of expansion, he now yearned to eat until he was stuffed in one go.

These past few days, Zhu Baoping's head was full of rich women. He didn't know how to approach this group, so he first registered a burner account and posted on some dating forums.

Unfortunately, the results were minimal.

Almost no one paid any attention, and there were quite a few who came to ridicule and curse.

Then Zhu Baoping went to hunt in high-end places where rich women often frequented, such as massage parlors and beauty salons.

At the beginning, Zhu Baoping's spirits were quite high; whenever he observed a gorgeously dressed, unaccompanied young married woman, he would bite the bullet and take the initiative to strike up a conversation.

He thought, what if one of them was blind and took a fancy to him?

If that really didn't work, he would go find those rich women who were old and faded.

It didn't matter if he didn't look, but the more he looked, the more Zhu Baoping's heart itched; compared to the green student girls, these ripe peaches were truly full of charm.

With a voluptuous figure, every movement she made was naturally enchanting, and she emitted the scent of high-end perfume, which often stirred the deepest desires in a man's heart.

In any case, Zhu Baoping, who had been single since birth, could not resist this kind of temptation.

However, the ideal is beautiful, but reality is cruel.

When those beautiful young women heard Zhu Baoping's intentions, some showed disdain in their eyes and immediately dodged away as if they had seen a ghost; others looked Zhu Baoping up and down and said dismissively, "Take a look at your own character; you're actually trying to be a gigolo like others, how laughable!"

Whenever he encountered such a situation, even with a face as thick as Zhu Baoping's, his old face would turn as red as a monkey's backside.

Shame and anger were unbearable!

Having been an excellent student with good character since childhood, it was only after a long internal struggle that he had managed to take this difficult step.

Never would he have thought...

The late emperor's cause was only half-finished, yet he passed away midway.

Some even threatened to call the police to arrest Zhu Baoping, scaring him into fleeing in a sorry state.

After this battle, Zhu Baoping finally gave up his fantasies and had no choice but to settle for the next best thing.
