After the car was quiet for a few seconds, Gu Qingyuan spoke.

"Are her parents here?"

"Her father is here." Kang Xiaoyong replied.

"That's fine. Don't take on anything by making your own decisions. People in your family make the decision, so don't show off."

"Also, I don't have to pay back the 1,000 yuan, just treat it as a donation to Mao Doudou."

Kang Xiaoyong didn't answer after listening, and sat there with deep thoughts.

Xia Chenling sat in the corner and felt that what Gu Qingyuan said was very mature and rational.

"Well... why don't you send me back to school first? I won't go with you."

Xia Chenling suddenly said.

Gu Qingyuan frowned slightly and was about to speak when He Chaoran turned around and opened his mouth with a smile and said:

"We'll still have to run back and forth a few times, so let's go together."

"Ah? That's too... too troublesome for you." Xia Chenling whispered. Although she was already very hungry, it would be too embarrassing to think about eating with Gu Qingyuan.

"Otherwise...send me back."

"It's troublesome to run back and forth, let's go together."

He Chaoran said with a smile, his eyes falling on Xia Chenling's delicate cheeks and never moving away.

Xia Chenling smiled reluctantly. She had no choice but to bite the bullet and go ahead. At worst, she would treat herself.

...

Ten minutes later, Gu Qingyuan parked the car on the side of the road, and the four of them came to the hot pot restaurant. It was a perfect match for hot pot in this weather!

Gu Qingyuan ordered a large portion. After the mutton was cooked, he picked it up and took a big bite. The taste was delicious.

Seeing that the three of them were eating voraciously, Xia Chenling hesitated for a moment with her chopsticks. Finally, her hunger overcame her restraint. She picked up a piece of meat, dipped it in some sauce, and put it in her mouth.

At this moment, Xia Chenling's eyes were bright. Maybe it was because she had never been so hungry. This hot pot was so delicious.

The four of them ate with their heads down in a tacit understanding, without saying a word. After finishing the first batch of rice, they poured the vegetables into the pot and cooked it again.

The four of them raised their heads at the same time and looked at each other. Gu Qingyuan couldn't hold it back and laughed.

Then, He Chaoran also grinned, Xia Chenling pursed her lips and smiled, and only Kang Xiaoyong raised the corners of his mouth, looking worried.

"We have such a tacit understanding that we only care about eating."

He Chaoran said with a smile.

"Come on, continue."

After the second pot was cooked, Gu Qingyuan opened the lid and everyone started eating again.

After that, He Chaoran and Xia Chenling chatted a lot. The moment Xia Chenling's eyes came into contact with Gu Qingyuan's eyes, she would quickly lower her head, looking a little cute.

"Well, you guys eat first and I'll go to the bathroom."

Xia Chenling put down the chopsticks in her hands and walked to the bathroom.

"Um, Brother Gu, what's your relationship with that girl? She's a top-notch one!"

He Chaoran looked at Xia Chenling's graceful back and said with a lewd smile.

"classmate."

Gu Qingyuan glanced at He Chaoran and lit a cigarette.

"Just a classmate? You're welcome, bro. I happen to be single too."

"Are you embarrassed to say you are single?"

Gu Qingyuan laughed. In the previous life, this fat man and he were drunk and dreaming all day long, with women around them all the time. How dare he say that he was single?

"Hehe, for her, I am willing to change my ways!"

He Chaoran said seriously.

Gu Qingyuan was stunned for a moment. For some reason, his heart hurt when he heard these words, and he suddenly became irritable.

"Get out of here!"

Gu Qingyuan frowned and said something.

"Tch!" He Chaoran curled his lips, "You said it doesn't matter, look at that look on your face."

Gu Qingyuan took a long puff of cigarette. After calming down, he was a little surprised by his previous emotions.

Gu Qingyuan said in her heart, "It's really strange. I don't feel anything about this girl either. Why did I feel so heartbroken at that moment?"

"Ah, Gu Qingyuan!"

Suddenly, Xia Chenling's exclamation came from behind. She was held by a drunk man on the table by the arm. Her face was full of horror. At this time, she subconsciously called out Gu Qingyuan's name.

Just like when she was in the dark alley, Xia Chenling knew that Gu Qingyuan would definitely save her.

"Call your boyfriend. How dare he come over? Sit down and have a drink with me."

The obese man showed his fat belly, his face was full of flesh, and he showed a faint smile.

Seeing this scene, Gu Qingyuan immediately stood up and strode over.

Kang Xiaoyong also quickly stood up and was about to follow, but He Chaoran grabbed his arm.

"My name is Gu Qingyuan, what were you doing there?"

He Chaoran said calmly, while Kang Xiaoyong's expression looked very nervous at this time.

"No, I have to go over and help."

"Sit down, Gu Qingyuan is enough alone."

He Chaoran smiled lightly, pulled Kang Xiaoyong to sit on the chair, and looked at Gu Qingyuan with interest.

On the night when the two of them had a conflict, He Chaoran thought that Gu Qingyuan was very skilled. He was able to escape unharmed when facing so many security guards. The most important thing was that the guy had very strong hands.

Seeing Gu Qingyuan approaching, the fat man looked at him with disdain. He was fair and clean, and although he was in a suit and leather shoes, his young face looked like he was a student.

"Why, you are his boyfriend, get out of here..."

Gu Qingyuan didn't waste any words, and quickly hit the fat man in the middle of the forehead with a heavy punch. His voice stopped suddenly, and he fainted in an instant.

Xia Chenling's hand weakly let go.

There were still three people sitting with the fat man. He didn't expect Gu Qingyuan to act so neatly and looked at him in surprise.

A person on his right looked up at him. Gu Qingyuan grabbed his hair and knocked it hard on the table. The whole table hit the ground with that person, and the pot was boiling hot.

Water spilled all over the floor.

"Do you think you guys will be fine?"

Gu Qingyuan asked coldly.

"Gu Qingyuan, forget it, let's go."

Xia Chenling stood behind Gu Qingyuan, gently pulled off his clothes, and said worriedly.

"No matter what, you know that when you bully your classmates, each one is more powerful than the other."

Gu Qingyuan whispered something and did not look back at Xia Chenling. He suddenly took a step forward and punched left and right. The two people who were sitting instantly fell to the ground and lay motionless on the ground.

"Let's go back."

Gu Qingyuan pulled Xia Chenling, who was in a daze, back to the dining table. The fight just happened so fast that no one who wanted to watch the excitement had even reacted. Only four people were seen lying on the ground.

"ox!"

He Chaoran gave a thumbs up, and felt that Gu Qingyuan was not a simple person. Can ordinary people have such skills?

Pulling Xia Chenling back to his seat, Gu Qingyuan and He Chaoran clinked glasses and started eating and drinking again. Neither of them said anything about what happened just now.

Xia Chenling looked at the two of them in panic, holding her hands together tightly.

"Otherwise... let's leave quickly."

"Sister, why should we go for a walk before we finish eating?"
