This Bad Luck is Awesome!

"You don’t need to understand. Just enjoy the free fancy meal."

Chen Mo joked in a lighthearted tone.

"That’s true. Who cares what you rich people are thinking? As long as I get my fill, I’m happy."

Hearing this, Wei Luyao paused for a moment before catching on and replying with a grin.

’What does the world of the rich have to do with me anyway?’

’I don’t need to understand their world.’

’There’s a feast, so I just need to eat.’

’Why overthink it?’

’I got a great meal and a new experience.’

’Total score.’

"That’s the spirit."

Seeing that she’d figured it out, Chen Mo nodded.

"Come on, get in. I’ll take you back to school."

Chen Mo glanced at her and tilted his head toward the parking lot.

"Oh, you don’t have to do that..."

Wei Luyao said politely as she trotted to keep up with Chen Mo.

The two of them got in the car, and Chen Mo started it, pulling away from the restaurant.

As they drove, the two chatted cheerfully and easily.

They talked about everything.

Video games, gossip, campus life, work, food, relationships, and more.

Wei Luyao felt like Chen Mo knew a little bit about everything and could talk to her about anything.

It was remarkably easy to talk with him.

Laughter filled the 911 supercar the entire time.

"Should I park somewhere else this time?"

As they neared her university, Chen Mo remembered the crowd of gossips from last time and turned to ask her.

"Huh?"

Wei Luyao hadn’t even realized they were almost at the university. It was the first time a car ride had ever felt so short.

"Park wherever you want. Everyone already knows anyway."

’It probably doesn’t make a difference where he parks,’ she thought.

"Alright."

Hearing this, Chen Mo understood what she meant.

"Why don’t you come take a look around my university?"

Wei Luyao suddenly turned to Chen Mo, blinking as she extended the invitation.

’Chen Mo drove me all the way back to campus. I can’t just get out and run off, can I?’

’Inviting him for a walk around campus will make his trip worthwhile.’

"Sure."

Chen Mo thought for a moment. He didn’t seem to have anything else planned for the evening.

Since they were going to walk around the campus, Chen Mo parked near the university entrance.

This was a residential area, the kind of place where the old Masters of Hu used to live.

Old money, all of them.

After getting out of the car, Chen Mo and Wei Luyao walked through the campus gates together.

As they walked across campus, they could feel the strange looks from students passing by.

"You’re pretty popular at school, huh?"

Chen Mo teased Wei Luyao, who was walking beside him.

’The reason people were staring was definitely because of Wei Luyao.’

’After all, he wasn’t a student here, and none of them knew him.’

"I’m alright, I guess. Just a lowly first-place winner of the debate tournament."

Wei Luyao waved her hand in a gesture of false modesty.

At her words, Chen Mo glanced at her and smiled without saying anything.

"Alright, fine. My student ID photo got posted on the campus forum when I started freshman year, and they voted me as the campus beauty."

Seeing the teasing smile on Chen Mo’s face, Wei Luyao dropped the act and laid her cards on the table.

"Now that’s more like it."

Chen Mo had never seen a debate champion who was this popular.

But if she was the campus beauty, that made a lot more sense.

They continued walking and eventually reached the athletic field.

Many students were here running, while others walked around in groups.

Nearby, there were several basketball courts where lots of guys were working up a sweat.

And of course, you couldn’t have a scene like this without a few couples on dates.

Just then, a few girls who were out for a walk spotted Wei Luyao and Chen Mo.

They were Wei Luyao’s roommates. They knew she had gone out to dinner with her online boyfriend.

So, seeing her strolling through campus with an unfamiliar guy, they figured it had to be him.

"Luyao, is this your online... friend?"

one of her roommates asked tentatively.

"Yep, my online friend. I’m just showing him around campus."

Wei Luyao rolled her eyes at her roommate.

’She knew what her roommate had been about to say.’

"Oh, okay! Well, you two have fun. We won’t bother you."

The roommates gave Chen Mo a polite nod and then left.

"My roommates are always joking around like that. Don’t mind them."

Wei Luyao knew Chen Mo had heard what her roommate almost said, so she offered an explanation.

’She didn’t mind, she was used to it.’

’But she was afraid Chen Mo would think she was getting ahead of herself.’

’After all, Chen Mo was young, rich, and handsome.’

’She was just a university student. And even though the guys at school had named her campus beauty...’

’Modu is full of universities, and every university has its own campus beauty. That title isn’t exactly worth much.’

"Don’t worry about it."

Chen Mo really didn’t mind, shaking his head with a smile.

The two continued their walk.

"Hey, look over there! It’s Luyao and her online friend, taking a walk."

Meanwhile, her roommates had rejoined the crowd and started spreading the gossip.

"What? Wei Luyao is on a date with her online boyfriend?"

"Really? Campus Beauty Wei and her boyfriend were hugging?"

"Quick, look! The campus beauty and her boyfriend are kissing on the athletic field!"

"..."

Listening to the rumors getting more and more ridiculous, the roommates were all dumbfounded.

’Whoa, hold on, guys! That’s not what we said at all!’

However, the rumors spread like wildfire across the field.

Meanwhile, Chen Mo and Wei Luyao were sitting on the bleachers, watching the guys play basketball.

"Do you know how to play basketball?"

Wei Luyao asked suddenly, her curiosity piqued.

"Yeah, I can. But I haven’t played since I graduated."

Chen Mo nodded. ’After graduation, he’d been in such a sorry state, who had the time or energy to play basketball?’

’He used to really enjoy it, though.’

"You should go play for a bit! I’ll cheer you on!"

Wei Luyao raised her small fists, making a cheering gesture.
