Especially her outgoing personality made it easy for people to feel close to her. Mu Yunze smiled politely in response to Wu Yuwei's enthusiasm, but his mind was still preoccupied with thoughts of the Class Flower, feeling a hint of unease. Han Jincheng, on the other hand, kept his head down, silently playing on his phone as if everything around him was irrelevant.
Seeing this, Li Haoyu quickly tried to ease the tension. "Alright, alright, let's order first. I'm starving here!"
Wu Yuwei finally paused, picked up the menu, and began enthusiastically introducing the restaurant's signature dishes. As she spoke, her eyes darted around, occasionally glancing at Mu Yunze and Han Jincheng as if observing their reactions.
"This Black Pepper Steak is excellent; the meat is tender and flavorful! And this Pan-Seared Cod is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside; it melts in your mouth! Oh, and don't forget this Creamy Mushroom Soup; it's incredibly rich—guaranteed you'll want more after trying it!"
Li Haoyu helplessly rubbed his forehead. "Alright, enough already! If you keep going, we're all going to drool."
In the end, under Wu Yuwei's strong recommendation, they ordered a Black Pepper Steak, a Pan-Seared Cod, a Creamy Mushroom Soup, and a Vegetable Salad.
The dishes arrived quickly, and Wu Yuwei eagerly grabbed her knife and fork to dig into the food. Her manner of eating was quite bold, completely disregarding any semblance of ladylike behavior, leaving both Mu Yunze and Han Jincheng momentarily stunned.
"How is it? Tasty, right?" Wu Yuwei asked through a mouthful of steak.
"Yeah, not bad," Mu Yunze replied dismissively.
Han Jincheng said nothing and continued silently eating his Vegetable Salad.
Wu Yuwei twirled her fork to catch the last piece of steak and savored the delicious juices. Satisfied, she licked her lips to clean off the remaining sauce and let out a contented sigh.
Setting down her knife and fork, she elegantly wiped her mouth with a napkin before looking up with wide eyes that sparkled with curiosity. Leaning in conspiratorially, she lowered her voice and winked at Mu Yunze and Li Haoyu. "Hey, hey! I have to tell you guys—school has been buzzing lately! There’s explosive news; do you want to hear it?"
Li Haoyu immediately perked up, putting down his chopsticks and leaning forward with curiosity. "What explosive news? Spill it!"
Although Mu Yunze was still thinking about the Class Flower, he couldn't help but be drawn in by Wu Yuwei's exaggerated expressions and cast an inquisitive glance her way.
Wu Yuwei cleared her throat dramatically and paused for effect before revealing in a mysterious tone: "Did you know? Liu Shixiong from the Computer Science Department—yeah, that Liu Zijian who’s known as the campus heartthrob—he's actually dating three girlfriends at once! Isn’t that wild?"
Li Haoyu's eyes widened in shock as he exclaimed: "No way! Is that for real? He's juggling three relationships? That's so thrilling!"
Han Jincheng had been quietly eating his salad but couldn’t help but look up at Wu Yuwei in surprise before quickly returning to his meal.
Wu Yuwei raised her eyebrows triumphantly and continued: "Absolutely true! A friend of mine's cousin saw it happen firsthand! Apparently, these three girlfriends are all stunning—one is our school's Class Flower, another is the beauty from the Art Institute next door, and the last one is a White-Collar Beauty from an outside company!"
Li Haoyu listened intently and pressed on: "What happened next? What happened after that?"
Wu Yuwei animatedly described: "It got even more exciting! All three girlfriends ended up at the same cafeteria at the same time on the same day! Can you imagine that scene?"
She mimicked their confrontation with heightened volume: "Liu Zijian! You scumbag! How dare you date two girls behind my back! And me too! I’m his girlfriend!" The three girls shouted back and forth at each other until it became chaotic. "And then guess what happened?"
Li Haoyu eagerly asked: "What happened next?"
Wu Yuwei gestured animatedly as she spoke, "Those three actually started tearing into each other right there! Hair was everywhere, clothes were ripped apart. The scene was just—wow, it was even more exciting than a palace drama! I heard that in the end, security had to come and pull them apart!"
Mu Yunze shook his head, but his mind was still on the Class Flower. She hadn't been to class for several days, and he wondered what had happened.
Han Jincheng remained silent, mechanically shoving salad into his mouth as if he had no interest in Wu Yuwei's gossip.
"And there's more!" Wu Yuwei seemed to have opened a floodgate of chatter. "You all know Handsome Wang from the sports department, right? The one with that sunny smile and those cute dimples? He’s actually been captivated by a sophomore girl! He sends her flowers and gifts every day, practically offering up his heart!"
Li Haoyu chuckled teasingly, "Looks like spring is here, everything is coming back to life—even Handsome Wang is getting frisky!"
Wu Yuwei leaned in closer, lowering her voice conspiratorially. She paused for effect, scanning the group with a mischievous glint in her eyes before dropping the bombshell: "I heard that Class Flower is pregnant!"
Mu Yunze's head snapped up, and his fork clattered onto his plate with a sharp sound. His eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Wu Yuwei, as if she had just revealed something utterly unbelievable. "What did you say? Class Flower? Pregnant? How is that even possible?"
Wu Yuwei shrugged, wearing an expression that said she already knew this: "Why not? Young people these days are quite wild." She paused again before continuing, "I heard the father is Ye Jingtai."
Li Haoyu interjected, "Ye Jingtai? The notorious playboy?"
Wu Yuwei nodded. "That's him. That guy didn’t want to take responsibility and just dumped Class Flower. Tsk tsk, after being hurt by that scumbag once before, she went back for more. Now look where she ended up—running back home in shame."
Mu Yunze felt his head buzzing; everything around him blurred as he struggled to process this news. Class Flower—the proud and beautiful Lin Shu Yao—was actually pregnant out of wedlock and abandoned by a scoundrel? It felt like an absurd play unfolding before him. He muttered to himself, "Class Flower pregnant... Ye Jingtai..."
