This Bad Luck is Awesome!

"It’s nothing. I just think you’re too popular."

Wei Luyao’s feelings were complicated. She turned to glance at him and said softly.

"Don’t overthink it."

Chen Mo understood. She must have seen what was on his phone screen.

’She thinks I’m too popular, which is making her feel insecure.’

"You’re very popular at school too, aren’t you? So how come you aren’t in a relationship?"

The light happened to be red, so Chen Mo turned to her and asked with a smile.

"The guys at school are too immature. They’re nothing compared to you."

Wei Luyao said, shaking her head without a second thought.

"Well, in my eyes, all those people who add me are nowhere near as good as you."

"The way you see those guys at school is the same way I see the girls... and guys... who add me."

A gentle smile touched Chen Mo’s lips as he spoke in a serious tone.

’If I explain it this way, I’m sure she’ll understand what I mean.’

"I get it!"

After hearing Chen Mo’s explanation, Wei Luyao’s beautiful eyes lit up, and the smile and energy instantly returned to her youthful, pretty face.

She understood what Chen Mo meant.

Even though many girls added him, Chen Mo wasn’t interested in them.

It was just like how all those guys at school liked her, but she paid them no mind at all.

"Instead of wasting your energy thinking about this, you should think about what soup base and dishes we should order."

Seeing that she’d come around, Chen Mo couldn’t help but smile.

"I’ve already decided! I want to eat..."

Back to her usual cheerful self, Wei Luyao started listing all the dishes she wanted to eat.

The light turned green.

Chen Mo stepped on the gas and drove through the intersection.

A short while later, Chen Mo pulled up in front of the villa-style restaurant.

After parking the car, Chen Mo took her hand and led her into the restaurant.

A waiter led them to an empty table.

"Let’s order."

Chen Mo scanned the QR code with his phone and started browsing the menu.

Wei Luyao also scanned the code with her phone and began to place her order.

Signature Matsutake Clear Broth, Kuroge Wagyu, Chaozhou-style Milk Pudding, Longevity Peach Buns...

Soon, the broth was brought to their table.

"Have some soup first. This broth is really good."

Chen Mo ladled a bowl of the clear broth for her.

"Thanks."

Wei Luyao scooped up a spoonful of the clear broth, puffed out her cheeks to blow on it a few times, and then took a small sip.

"This is delicious!"

As the broth touched her lips, its savory, delicious flavor made her beautiful eyes narrow in pleasure.

She then took several more sips.

Seeing the look of pure bliss on her pretty face, Chen Mo shook his head with a smile, then ladled a bowl for himself.

’The last time I came here with Xia Shiqing, we ordered the same broth.’

’It really is good.’

After that, the dishes they ordered were brought out.

Once cooked in the clear broth, the two began to eat.

Wei Luyao was indeed just as she’d said: an insatiable appetite in a tiny stomach.

She loved to eat, but her capacity was small.

Chen Mo ate most of it; she, at most, just tasted a bit of everything for the flavor.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Chen Mo drove her back to the university.

"Want to take a walk around campus?"

Wei Luyao sat in the passenger seat. A hint of reluctance to part ways lingered in her beautiful eyes as she invited Chen Mo for a walk on campus.

"Sure."

Of course, Chen Mo wasn’t going to refuse.

He parked the car just off campus, and the two of them walked onto the university grounds.

As they walked side by side, Chen Mo felt a soft, delicate hand take hold of his right hand.

He smiled slightly and smoothly interlaced their fingers.

’Walking hand in hand on campus, I feel like I’m back in my college days.’

The students who passed by were surprised to see the two of them walking so openly hand in hand across campus, and many quickly pulled out their phones to take pictures.

They shared the photos in various group chats.

Wei Luyao noticed but didn’t react.

’I’m not trying to keep a bunch of guys on the hook, so it doesn’t matter if everyone knows I’m in a relationship.’

Soon, Chen Mo had walked her to the entrance of the women’s dormitory.

"Well, I’m going to head up?"

Wei Luyao stood before Chen Mo, her beautiful eyes meeting his as she spoke in a soft voice.

"Come a little closer."

With a slight smile, Chen Mo took her slender arm and pulled her a little closer to him.

"What is it?"

They were standing very close now. As Wei Luyao looked up at Chen Mo, she could feel his warm breath on her face.

Her pretty face flushed slightly, and she blinked, not quite daring to meet his gaze.

’This is a little too intimate.’

"We need a kiss before we part."

Chen Mo said softly, the corners of his mouth turning up.

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Wei Luyao froze for a second. Before she could even react, she saw Chen Mo lowering his head, his lips pressing against hers.

In an instant, the distance between them was gone.

Her eyes flew wide, and her mind went completely blank.

’So this is what a first kiss feels like?’
