This Bad Luck is Awesome!

Meanwhile, in a dance studio at the Modu Dance Academy.

A dozen or so young female students, all slender and poised, were practicing in the studio.

By any standard, every one of these university students was a beauty in her own right, with both stunning looks and figures.

One woman, in particular, stood out from the crowd with her long, elegant, swan-like neck.

In terms of both looks and figure, she was on a completely different level, putting the other girls in the studio to shame.

And to be clear, these other girls were definitely considered beauties themselves.

For her to still outshine them all just showed that her looks and figure were far beyond theirs, verging on supermodel status.

After practicing for a while, it was time for a break.

Everyone found a place to sit, pulled out their phones, and started scrolling.

Shen Qingying sat on the floor, her long, slender legs crossed, and unlocked her phone to open WeChat.

When she saw that Chen Mo still hadn’t accepted her friend request, a look of disappointment clouded her delicate, pretty face.

An overwhelming sense of defeat washed over her, and the light in her beautiful eyes seemed to dim.

Ever since she started school, she had been the universally acknowledged campus belle of the Modu Dance Academy.

Normally, whether on or off campus, countless guys would approach her, trying to hit on her and win her over.

She had always been very confident in her own charm.

But that all changed when she met Chen Mo. She wanted to get to know him, to understand what he was all about.

But first, Chen Mo had rejected her invitation to sit down for a drink. Then, after she finally managed to get his WeChat, two full days had passed, and he still hadn’t accepted her request.

’Who isn’t glued to their phone these days? If he hasn’t accepted, it just means he doesn’t want to add me.’

This made her doubt her own charm, plunging her into a rare state of insecurity.

"Qingying, what are you thinking about? You don’t look too happy."

Just then, her classmate noticed the disappointment on her delicate face and asked out of curiosity.

’Is there anything that could possibly get Shen Qingying down?’

’She’s the undisputed top campus belle in terms of looks and figure, and her dancing skills are among the best in the school.’

’She’s the object of envy for every other girl here.’

’How could someone like that have any worries?’

"Yueyue, what would you say if I told you I asked a guy out for coffee and he turned me down, and then after I added him on WeChat, he didn’t accept my friend request for two days?"

"Have I really let myself go lately?"

Shen Qingying asked her close friend. Chen Mo had truly shattered her confidence.

"What?!"

"You asked a guy out for coffee and got rejected, and he still hasn’t accepted your WeChat request after two days?"

"Is he brain-dead from doing drugs or something? Or is he into men?"

"If I were a guy and you asked me out, hesitating for even a single second would be a crime against that beautiful face of yours!"

Yueyue’s eyes went wide as she listened, her face a mask of disbelief.

The fact that Shen Qingying had taken the initiative to ask a guy out was surprising enough.

But what was even more outrageous was that the guy had actually rejected her, and then didn’t even accept her WeChat request.

It made her think the guy either had his brain fried from drugs or just wasn’t into women.

"He didn’t seem like he’s into men. He didn’t have any of the... typical signs."

"He must be very rich. He’s probably seen a lot of gorgeous women, so maybe his standards are just incredibly high."

Shen Qingying shook her head, the movement elegant along her long, swan-like neck, as she analyzed the situation seriously.

"Even if he’s seen tons of beautiful women and has the highest standards imaginable, there’s no way he’d be completely unfazed by you..."

Yueyue still couldn’t imagine how any man could remain indifferent when faced with Shen Qingying.

BUZZ BUZZ~

Just then, the phone in Shen Qingying’s hand vibrated.

She glanced at it and saw that Chen Mo had accepted her friend request!

Her confidence already shaken by him, she had to check several times to make sure he had actually added her.

Seeing that Chen Mo had added her, the knot of anxiety in her chest finally loosened.

’As long as I’ve made contact with him, I’m confident I can seize this opportunity.’

"Hello [Little Cat]"

She took the initiative and sent Chen Mo a sticker of a little cat waving to say hello.

「On Chen Mo’s balcony.」

"Hello."

He saw she had sent a sticker to say hello and replied in kind.

"Mr. Chen, you didn’t accept my friend request for two days. I was starting to think you hated me, haha."

Chen Mo raised an eyebrow at Shen Qingying’s message.

’Is she probing me? Asking why I took two days to accept?’

"I forgot. Did you need something?"

Chen Mo replied bluntly.

"I just wanted to get to know you, Mr. Chen. To be friends with you."

"Be friends with me?"

"Yes. I think you’re very special, Mr. Chen. I was wondering when you might be free to sit down for a drink and a chat?"

Reading Shen Qingying’s message, he was sure she had an ulterior motive.

’By my standards, Shen Qingying is an absolute top-tier beauty.’

’We’ve only met once or twice and barely exchanged a few words. She doesn’t even know my full name.’

’And yet she thinks I’m ’special’ and wants to get to know me?’

’Bullshit.’

"Tomorrow."

Chen Mo thought for a moment and suggested a time.

’I’ll find out what her motive is when we meet.’

’It’s not like I’m afraid of being scammed or tricked anyway.’

’If someone tried to scam or trick me, they’d be the ones ending up with the short end of the stick, not me.’

"Great! Coffee tomorrow is my treat. See you then!"

"Sure."

After replying to her, Chen Mo heard the washing machine finish its cycle.

He hung the bedsheets from the machine on the drying rack, then grabbed his car keys and headed out.

He hadn’t seen Wei Luyao in a few days, and he planned to take her out for a good time today.
