Even the room had peach blossoms placed all over. Although they didn't know how they managed to find fresh peach blossoms on such hot summer days, they had to admit that this shop radiated the words "nouveau rich" throughout every inch of it!

No matter which aspect it was, in Zhou Min's eyes, this was all glistening with RMB!

When the door was opened once more, a series of serving staff continuously flowed in. As for Ruan Ru, her eyes were already long glued to the delicate plates of sashimi placed on the table, forgetting that she was sitting across a living breathing person…

"It looks great in the picture, but only when it has been actually placed on the table do you realize the incredible knife technique and carving skills. It has really made the food into an art piece! This is really something else…" Ruan Ru's eyeballs were about to fall onto the plate. Zhou Min could not help but chuckle, only to see that Ruan Ru had already taken the initiative to pick up the chopsticks and began to eat, not taking notice of anyone else.

"Miss, the last assorted tempura platter has been brought up. As for the desserts at the end, we will serve it up to you again in 25 minutes!" The waiter said politely.

Zhou Min saw that Ruan Ru's cheeks had been stuffed until they bulged and couldn't really speak. She couldn't help but raise her head as she nodded to the waiter.

Zhou Min originally intended to move her sight away from the serving staff once they exited, but as they were preparing to close the door, she saw another serving staff slowly open the door to the room directly across theirs from the corner of her eyes.

The decoration on the second floor was a wooden corridor that was less than one meter wide and only had enough room for two people to pass. Private booths lined both the left and right sides. In the gap of time where their door was slowly being closed and the door of the room across was being slowly opened, she saw a figure sitting alone at the main spot amongst the prim and proper group of sitting people. That lazily sitting silhouette was rather familiar!

Zhou Min couldn't help frowning and tilted her head, taking a few more glances as the room's door was about to close. However, because the man was leaning against the wall hidden in a dimly lit corner, with his arms crossed across his chest, in addition to how there were too many people in the room, and with the serving staff blocking the figure from time to time as they entered, Zhou Min was always unable to get a clear view. Nevertheless, that lazy nonchalant posture exuded an imposing aura of elegance all over. Even though it was but a simple action, it was done where it pleased one's eyes and heart.

And such a figure, you could tell at a glance, that this imposing manner was not something ordinary. It stands to reason that according to Jiang Min's nerdy and homebody nature that didn't like going outside, she shouldn't know such a person. But she still felt that this person was a little familiar. Sometimes, you know! Too much curiosity can really shorten your life…

Zhou Min couldn't help but leaned half of her body out, swaying her head left and right as she tried to get a clear look between the gaps of waiters that entered. Who was this person?

After the serving staff had finished bringing up all the dishes, they immediately exited one by one non-stop. As the last person retreated, they slowly closed the door shut. It was also at this time that both of Zhou Min's eyes were focused on that man. Perhaps he noticed that someone was looking at himself, that outstanding figure suddenly raised his head. That half-seated body straightened upright, slowly appearing from the dark corner of the light, revealing a clear distinct face that looked like it was carved by a sharp axe.

Scattered bangs blocked his forehead in disarray, without the slightest trace of sloppiness. Instead, it seemed to be a bit more casual. Never having worn glasses before, it led this person's usual unattainable air to soften into a more gentle and elegant manner on the occasional chance that he did wear it. Under the thin, tightly pursed lips was a chin that seemed as though it was honed. This was a gentle and elegant man with a refined temperament and a gentlemanly appearance.

Some people's temperaments were enough to overcome everything, even if no words were used to highlight them! Under the emphasis of the bright lights, this led Zhou Min's, who originally already felt some familiarity when he was in the dark corner, puzzled gaze to involuntarily become even more attracted by that young man. Because, he really was too familiar! Really, where has she seen him before…

The man also directed his gaze straight at Zhou Min. There was a moment of surprise but his eyes promptly became unfathomably deep. His mouth could not help but hook up into a perfect and well mannered smile but this caused Zhou Min's complexion to drastically change. The hand that propped her up from the wooden floor immediately softened. The moment the door of her private booth was closed, black lines had already covered her forehead as she laid on the floor! Suddenly there was a kind of depressed feeling of wanting to cry and laugh.

The metallic chopsticks also fell following Zhou Min's movements. The crisp sound caused Ruan Ru, who was immersed in the food, to snap back only to see Zhou Min lying on the ground, "Xiao Min¹, what are you doing? Are there flowers on the ground that make you want to scrutinize it that interestedly?"

Ruan Ru supported herself with both of her hands on the table as she leaned half her body over to look at the Zhou Min who was pretending to be dead, lying on the ground. However, even after a long while, she didn't see any reaction from Zhou Min.

Ruan Ru continuously called out several times in puzzlement but still didn't see any reaction from her. Concern couldn't help but creep onto her face as she got up and walked to her side, reaching out her hand to support the person up, "Xiao Min, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

As soon as she said this, Ruan Ru lowered her head, and saw Zhou Min's expression that looked like she wished to poke both her eyes blind along with a look that she wanted time to stand still. This caused her to become even more confused.

While Ruan Ru was puzzled by Zhou Min's inexplicable expression, the man in the other private booth couldn't help but be amused by Zhou Min's last awkward wishing to die expression!

Originally he had felt irritable and impatient because he found that he was being stared at by someone. Then, seeing the sudden appearance of the person that he had thought about for the whole week, the corner of his mouth revealed a playful smile.

Originally, the low pressure emanating from the big boss caused the senior management personnels to become so scared that they didn't dare to breathe within the same private booth because a report was rejected. Suddenly, because of this smile from the『Big Psycho』, they were able to breathe.

Although no one knew the reason why this originally moody person suddenly felt better, if they could witness such a miracle every day then they would rather live a few years less!

The man reached out his hand to stop the waiter from closing the door. Both his eyes stared straight at the closed private booth on the opposite side. He looked straight at the closed box on the opposite side and couldn't help but think back to Zhou Min's expression in the end. Inadvertently, the man stood up and strode out.

"Today's meeting ends here, you all return back to your own respective duties. I hope that I won't see the same thing happen the next time. You're all very clear that I, never have a use for trash!" It was obviously a clear and elegant tone, but it made people feel as though they were encased in the ice cold snow, shuddering!

"Yes, Doctor²!" Everyone simultaneously stood up together. He clearly was a fierce viper in the business world but he liked others to call him 'Doctor'. He clearly held control over the economic lifeline for the majority of Europe and America, including here, but he didn't like being called Boss!

Strange preferences caused everyone to be puzzled, but they didn't dare to voice it out. Because, despite how he clearly only looked to be the age of a university student, only they knew how fierce and resolute the methods of the young man in front of them were. Abnormal and extreme!

The man nodded and was very satisfied with the obedience from this group behind him, "After you finish eating, leave!" After he got his desired answer and finished instructing them, the man left the private booth and automatically closed the door.

After leaving the room automatically, an extra bit of mischievousness appeared on the man's beautiful and elegant face. Long legs were encased in a pair of black slacks underneath his black shirt. He then casually leaned against the wall of the private booth across and patiently waited.

"Xiao Min, talk to me!" The corner of Ruan Ru's lips twitched when she saw that Zhou Min wasn't saying anything, just lying there stiff as a corpse, pretending to be dead.

"That, well… Xiaoru, I uh…suddenly got a cold. I'll just be heading out first. This meal will be my treat, so you take your time to eat. I'm going to go first…" Zhou Min's heart was in a bundle of mess, her head all mush. A creature's acute sense of danger told her that leaving was the best choice right now!

Ruan Ru looked at her struggling to kip-up* a few times in her arms and then did a donkey roll after realizing that she could not get up. Like a ball, she rolled to the side and got up with both her hands and feet. Looking at the person that was frantically looking for her purse and preparing to leave, she felt her forehead twitch terribly!

Suddenly, getting a cold…in the hot scorching summer…

Are you trying to trick a ghost?…

Thinking back to the reason Zhou Min gave her, Ruan Ru only wanted to curse motherf * . This was too insincere. You could tell immediately that this excuse was used to deceive people and anyone with the slightest bit of IQ wouldn't believe it. Could it be that she looked like one of those who didn't have any IQ? To not even be given a decent excuse! Such terrible insincerity…

As for the man outside, upon hearing the conversation between Zhou Min and Ruan Ru, especially when he heard Zhou Min's words, he couldn't help but have a trace of bemusement flash across his eyes. The air around him instantly began to soften even more.

Seeing Zhou Min hurriedly pull open the door with a 'whoosh' and leave, Ruan Ru immediately prepared to intercept the person, but was shocked by the sudden appearance of the figure by the door. As for Zhou Min, she rammed, head first, straight into him. A lingering fragrance of ink wafted around her nose as scorching strong arms surrounded her waist. All of which led Zhou Min to shudder.

Although she didn't raise her head, Zhou Min suddenly had a bad feeling. When the familiar voice rang out by her ear, the words made her feel a sudden urge to strangle herself to start over again.

"Classmate Jiang, I never expected you to like me so much. To be this eager to come into my embrace…". Zhou Min heard the scorching sound of breathing in her ears and the ambiguous words. If she still didn't know who this person that caught her was, then she might as well find a piece of tofu to choke herself to death…

As for Ruan Ru, when she saw who it was at the door, her eyes became fixated. A faint smoky red flush bubbled up onto her face.

Elegant and noble, extraordinary aura, beautiful handsome face, gentle soft smile. Just that exceptionally elegant, refined jade-like manner was enough to cause everyone to disregard his appearance. His stature was extremely tall, at least over 1.85 meters in height. Every gesture of his, his low brows and faint smile all were noble.

"Liu, Liu, Haoyu….No, Classmate Liu!" Ruan Ru only felt that her own heart began to beat wildly. She felt shy and bashful, like the panicked pounding and unsettledness a junior high school girl felt when she first saw her prince charming! Her mouth was dry and she didn't know where to put her hands and feet.

The sound of Ruan Ru's voice instantly made Zhou Min pull herself together within Liu Haoyu's arms. Zhou Min restlessly wriggled, wanting to break free, but it was as if she was bound by a python; the more she tried to break free, the tighter she was embraced. Her waist was about to be broken!

This immediately caused Zhou Min's to subconsciously exhale out a cry from the pain. Only then was the strength exerted on her waist slightly reduced but Zhou Min did not feel relieved in the slightest. Instead, she became even more nervous and unsettled! It was also thanks to this bump from Ruan Ru that knocked Zhou Min back to her wits immediately.

"That, um, Classmate Liu, please let me go…" Zhou Min said uncomfortably. She wasn't really afraid of seeing Liu Haoyu, but just that the time she was transferred and the location where things happened between her and the male lead was quite sticky. This caused her to not have any preparation for what kind of a personality she should have when she met with Liu Haoyu in the future; what kind of attitude should she have when seeing him, so that he would not give her a negative score.

According to reason, she should be furious when she sees him since he snatched away her first time. But, at the time, when things happened between them, the longer it went on, the more she appeared willing in the end. If she held a cold and indifferent attitude the next time they met, there was no doubt that he would think that she pretended to be a fake immortal, pretending to have let go of indulgences and emotions. She feared that this would instead backfire on her!

However, if she completely ignored him, expressing that she didn't care in the slightest; upon thinking of how her first time had also happened in that kind of place and also the way she was dressed, it really was hard for people to believe that she had gone there simply to just vent and sing. Those revealing clothes really were hard to explain!

Or say that it was a trap. It's just that, as it stands now, ignoring how the male lead couldn't be said to like her, but even if he did, it couldn't possibly be more than that preconceived woman!

If she messed up in the slightest, wouldn't the male lead classify her as a scheming bitch, one whose private life had no boundaries? Like this, wouldn't her favor be reduced to minus one hundred?

Remembering how unrestrained and how she begged for love that night, Zhou Min hoped for the best. Looking back at the memories, she reckoned it should be fine to prove her innocence especially since it was her first time.

Liu Haoyu, the only son of Liu family. The only person that held power in the Liu family. The so-called only one, was because the illegitimate children of the Liu family, that couldn't be brought to light, were all cleaned up by him before anyone noticed.

The Liu family was originally a noble family, but the grandmother of the Liu family was the biggest leader of the underworld in Europe. It wasn't known how much power was held, but just from seeing the extent of how Su Xiaoxiao was able to call the winds and summon the rain after she married Liu Haoyu, it could be seen that the Liu family was far from being as simple as they appeared. Another way it could be said was that even in Jiang Min's last life, the things that Su Xiaoxiao knew of after she married Liu Haoyu, what was unearthed was but just the tip of the iceberg.

This was the conclusion that she came to after studying Jiang Min's memory back and forth this week. That was, this male lead was even more dangerous and more perverted than the male lead of the first story.

"Classmate Jiang, the matter between us has not been sorted out yet…" Liu Haoyu's clear, pleasing warm voice rang out beside Zhou Min's ears. A pair of what were originally calm, noble and warm eyes promptly changed and tightly stared sharply at Zhou Min's dodgy eyes like an eagle the moment he looked down.

The expression in his eyes was faint, but the air around him was imposing, making Zhou Min poor for words at once, instantly stopping…

Liu Haoyu faintly stared at the flustered and embarrassed Zhou Min. The corner of his mouth vaguely hooked up a slight trace. Just like a game of cat and mouse. A ridiculing expression showed in the depths of his eyes as his face revealed a playful look.

Originally, according to his own character, he would not have any interest in this goddess of Qing University, but after that night, he didn't know whether it was because her body was too sweet or whether it was because the gaze that she gave him was too complicated; causing him to think about this woman from time to time again this entire week!

To the point where he had even thought about what kind of a scene would play out when they met again. However, it seems like she always went above and beyond his expectations!

She wanted to hide from him, and it was the kind of hiding where she was eager to fling everything cleanly away to hide, as if he was some kind of plague. This was a very novel feeling for him, but it was nothing more than just that. It didn't reach the point where he felt like he wanted to investigate the case deeper!

He, Liu Haoyu, had never feared the unknown, because challenging the unknown has always been the only reason why he felt like life was the slightest bit interesting, and worth living for. But when he saw her again, the light in her eyes suddenly caused a torrent of unexpected surprise and pain to surge in his heart. Although the feeling was fleeting, it caused him to break his doctrine once again towards the unexpected and unpredicted, and made him decide to temporarily keep this woman by his side.

Because he suddenly had a kind of uncertain feeling that something was about to break free out of his control. This kind of feeling was both unfamiliar and caused him to faintly feel anxious! Ever since he was young, he knew that no matter what it was, be it people or objects, in order to prevent the track from drifting off course before he had a clear understanding of it, he had to strictly control it and pursue each point to find the answer he sought. Otherwise he would have to mercilessly destroy it!

The safest method for a woman, especially a woman that he was physically fascinated by, was to completely destroy her. However, this woman made him inexplicably reluctant to do so. Between killing her or keeping her alive, it seemed like he was more inclined to keeping this woman!

Since he was both reluctant and curious, then he wouldn't mind taking some time to carefully investigate it, until he hated her…

Lowering his head, Liu Haoyu's scattered bangs blocked most of his glasses. It also concealed the stern chilliness within the depths of his slightly upturned slender phoenix eyes.

Compared to Liu Haoyu's calm and composed casual elegance, was Zhou Min's helplessness and embarrassment. The stark contrast made Ruan Ru's fingers tightly sink into her flesh as she looked at the people embracing at the door!

Zhou Min did not expect that her wholeheartedly embarrassed and awkward expression had actually become that type of explanation in front of Liu Haoyu. Feeling the large hand tightly clasped on her waist, Zhou Min almost screamed out from the scorching heat radiating from it. It was also then that Liu Haoyu lowered his head once again, ambiguously whispering by Zhou Min's ear, "Student Jiang, let's have a chat!"

Chat…but I wonder if this chat include our bodies.. mmm…

Liu Haoyu's words were laced with a hint of threat, causing Zhou Min's back to shiver from chills. Also, she sensitively felt the large hand firmly around her waist lightly caress her lecherously before giving the soft flesh there a gentle pinch. This caused both her legs to soften as Liu Haoyu took the opportunity to embrace her even tighter!

Seeing Zhou Min softly collapsed within his embrace, that desire, which neither beautiful elegant ladies nor charming bewitching nymphs were able to incite, instantly had a tendency to look up. This caused Liu Haoyu to hug the person in his arms even tighter, pressing her soft tenderness closer to his firmness.

"Student Jiang Min, what do you think?" Liu Haoyu's voice laced with some tenderness sounded out again, as if it was even laced with a smile. The blazing heat that could be felt through the thin layers of clothes, radiating from the pair of firm arms did not allow for refusal as they tightly enclosed around Zhou Min's waist. She could be picked up with just a gentle lift.

As for that hardness protruding out and seemingly prodding her lower abdomen, there were some feelings of shock and embarrassment but even more so of excitement. Zhou Min looked at Liu Haoyu and her lips let out a soft gasp.

Her body subconsciously began to squirm. As if knowing that she would struggle, Liu Haoyu grabbed her waist with one hand, while the other hand easily reached out to press against the back of her head. He pressed her face tightly against the front of his chest as he gave a faint look towards the private booth. Then, he just left while embracing Zhou Min with a clatter.

The interaction between Zhou Min and Liu Haoyu, as if there were no one around, caused Ruan Ru's eyes to almost pop out. Even more so was the flames within her eyes that threatened to sear out. One was the flower on a mountain's peak¹, the school's goddess, and the other was the out of reach, unapproachable male god. Although they were both in the same class, Liu Haoyu had already held control of the Liu Conglomerate long ago. Because he had continued to further expand their business empire, the number of times he came to class could be counted on one's fingers.

That's why although the class always had this person, from the first year until now, the number of times that he had appeared within class could be basically counted on only one hand. Aside from the times he had never been absent at the end of each semester, there wasn't even a hint of his shadow within classes. Despite this, his grades have always firmly occupied the prized throne of being the number one in the school. There hasn't been even a single semester where he has conceded this spot.

Thus, with his grades, in addition to his family background and appearance, there were no qualms that he was a well deserved, uncrowned king. The Emperor of Qing University. As for Jiang Ming, her grades have always firmly stood just under Liu Haoyu, so both their face values added with their intellect had always made them as Qing University's god and queen. However, it has always been an existence of the king without a queen. There has never been any gossip about them but this also stemmed from how both were the type of people to keep to themselves, clean and honest.

The only exception was the recent rumor that had begun to spread around the school, saying how Su Xiaoxiao was Liu Haoyu's supposed girlfriend.

Although she snorted disdainfully, sometimes, when she saw how Liu Haoyu, who had never allowed any females near him before, suddenly allowed Su Xiaoxiao to follow him right and left, she still didn't dare to do much to her.

To the point where, several times, even when Su Xiaoxiao was bullied, although Liu Haoyu did not directly intervene in person, he still sent the people around him to safeguard her. Thus, in Qing University, even though this place was crawling with the second generation of officials and second generation rich, no one dared to do anything to Su Xiaoxiao.

On the contrary, under the unconcealed escorts that Liu Haoyu provided, Su Xiaoxiao had gotten a kind of development where it seemed like she was being complimented by such a rich and powerful son within the school! Although her appearance couldn't be compared with Jiang Min's at all, however, because of Liu Haoyu's interference, she actually had a feeling that she was on par with Jiang Min!

But what did she see now? These two people, who were originally supposed to not have anything to do with each other, were actually embracing one another quite intimately! Ruan Ru's heart suddenly seeped out a thread of a very complicated feeling. A crazy thought flitted through her mind. How wonderful would it be if it was her that Liu Haoyu was embracing!

Although she didn't want to admit it, Ruan Ru had to admit that Liu Haoyu's lethality was more than enough to have all the Chinese women go crazy over him. She was not an exception!

Ruan Ru looked at Zhou Min, who was being carried away by Liu Haoyu, and subconsciously put on her shoes in a flurry before running out the door. However, she didn't know why she needed to go out. At that moment, what she thought of wasn't Zhou Min, but rather Liu Haoyu.

"Liu, Liu Haoyu, Classmate Liu! I, I am Ruan Ru. I, I am Xiao Min's³ friend…" Upon realizing what she had said, Ruan Ru abruptly had a guilty conscious type of feeling, immediately adding, "I, you, can't, can't do this…"
