My Villain Is Super Sweet (GL) - CHAPTER 16

Ruan Qingci is meeting her college roommate tonight; they made plans early on.

Because the appointment was made early, one of the roommates, Dong Xiao, later mentioned that her boyfriend, Chen Hua, and his good friend Ye Mingchu heard that Qingci had returned and asked if they could come over to hang out together.

Sure, why not?

If it were anyone else, it would naturally be unacceptable. But Chen Hua and Ye Mingchu are a bit special; first, they are their direct seniors, and second, Ye Mingchu and Ruan Qingci are under the
same mentor.

When we were in school, we were quite close and even worked on projects together. Otherwise, Chen Hua wouldn’t have been able to take Dong Xiao away back then.

So, tonight’s gathering turned into six people.

Chen Hua and Ye Mingchu arrived a bit earlier and naturally sat down next to Ruan Qingci. When Dong Xiao and the others gradually arrived, Dong Xiao naturally sat next to Chen Hua, and the others
took their seats in order.

In this way, to Ruan Qingci’s right were Ye Mingchu, Chen Hua, and Dong Xiao, and to his left were his roommates Tang Yisheng and Fang Qingming. The small round table was completely full.

The hot pot of lamb caused everyone to steam up, and the atmosphere was very pleasant. When everyone met again, they were still very warm and friendly, discussing work matters and gossiping about
other alumni and classmates, filled with laughter and joy.

Moreover, since everyone else stayed in the capital city and hadn’t seen Ruan Qingci for over a year, they tended to chat with her more frequently. Occasionally raising their glasses, she didn’t
even have time to pick up any meat to eat.

Ye Mingchu used a slotted spoon to lift the cooked lamb slices and brought them to Ruan Qingci, gesturing for her to pick them up.

Ruan Qingci casually picked up two pieces of lamb and politely said, “Thank you, Senior Brother.”

Ye Mingchu’s eyes dimmed a bit, and he said somewhat helplessly, “Why are you being so polite to me? Just call me by my name!”

Ruan Qingci just smiled and said, “I’m used to it, calling you ‘senior brother’ is more friendly.”

Tang Yisheng and Fang Qingming glanced over at Ye Mingchu and Ruan Qingci, then exchanged a subtle look. Their minds were racing with comments, wishing they could communicate directly through
brainwaves!

Ah, Ye Mingchu is so annoying! What era are we living in, still playing the game of silent love, keeping feelings hidden and hard to express? Every day you hesitate to speak, then hesitate to stop,
can’t you just be straightforward? Like or dislike, isn’t it just a matter of one sentence?!

Doing this, could it be that he wants Ruan Qingci to actively notice his beauty and then confess?

How could you think so beautifully?

To be blunt, they really didn’t notice at all back then that Ye Mingchu had feelings for Ruan Qingci. It wasn’t until after graduation, when Qingci had already gone abroad, that they heard about it
from Dong Xiao.

A crush can be so secretive that no one can see it, enduring to this extent.

Sigh, just watching him makes me feel exhausted.

This time, he has really made progress. He specifically requested to come along and even took the initiative to sit next to Ruan Qingci, providing thoughtful service.

However, they think this matter is hopeless.

From a metaphysical perspective, one of them is refined and handsome, while the other is elegant and composed. Yet, when they stand together, they don’t give off any couple vibes at all.

To be realistic, Ruan Qingci has already gone abroad. Whether she will come back or not is another matter. Even if she does come back, she might not choose to develop her career in Beijing.

If you liked it, why didn’t you do it earlier? Are you looking for some excitement because you think your life isn’t tough enough?

Everyone had eaten enough, so they moved to the nearby sofa to drink tea, crack sunflower seeds, and continue chatting.

Tang Yisheng was quite regretful: “No mahjong? Well, we can make do with two decks of playing cards.”

Fang Qingming casually said, “Why don’t you suggest getting a mini KTV instead?”

Tang Yisheng nodded with an air of maturity, welcoming anyone who came: “That’s fine too!”

Ye Mingchu asked with concern, “Where do you live? I’ll give you a ride.”

Chen Hua quickly chimed in, “Yeah, Mingchu drove, so it’s convenient.”

Ruan Qingci smiled and politely declined, saying, “A friend will come to pick me up soon.” She shot a warning glance at her roommates who were pretending to be clueless: “Besides, we can’t all fit
in one car. We’ve already made plans to stay together tonight, girl’s talk.” Context: “She gave a warning glance at her roommates who were pretending to be clueless nearby: ‘Besides, we can’t all
fit in one car. We four made plans to stay over together tonight, girl’s talk.'”

“Besides, we can’t all fit in one car. We four made plans to stay over together tonight, girl’s talk.”

Ye Mingchu lowered his eyes, looking pitifully adorable, and was about to say something when Ruan Qingci’s phone rang.

Ruan Qingci seized the opportunity to escape this awkward situation and answered the phone.

“Are you here? Hmm, then just come up directly. Didn’t I already tell you the box number?”

“Hmm? Is there something inconvenient? Oh, you’re going to settle the bill first? Okay, got it! Come up quickly.”

The call was disconnected.

The expressions of the people present varied.

The roommates’ reaction: Oh wow, something’s going on here!

When have you ever seen Ruan Qingci speak to someone in such a petulant tone? Her tone was so affectionate, it was like being bathed in soft light. In an instant, she transformed from being cold and
composed to sweet and elegant. Even when she heard the other person had settled the bill first, she acted as if it were only natural.

However, thinking back, it was strange that he would come all the way to pick her up at such a late hour, and that Ruan Qingci would accept it so readily!

Compared to the reactions of the three ladies, the expressions of the two gentlemen were much more complex.

Ye Mingchu was completely dispirited, the smile on his face was visibly forced, almost impossible to maintain.

Chen Hua was doing okay, feeling a bit awkward, mixed with some pity for his good brother—setting out on a mission only to die before achieving success, who could be more unfortunate than this?

Not long after the phone call ended, the steady and solid sound of boots hitting the ground came, gradually getting closer. Then, the person knocked lightly on the box door twice as a formality
before pushing it open.

As soon as Lin Lang stepped into the private room, everyone’s gaze immediately turned towards him.
Hmm, tall and slender, with an impressive presence, not bad!

Pfft! Not even close!

The roommates looked at Ruan Qingci as if accusing him, their eyes saying, “Your roommates are very disappointed in you. What’s going on? We thought you brought your partner, but you brought a
female friend instead?”

Ye Mingchu’s eyes became lively again, and Chen Hua also quietly let out a huge sigh of relief.

Lin Lang was puzzled by the look she received. She turned to Ruan Qingci and asked, “Are we going to chat a bit more, or are we leaving?”

“Ready to go?” Ruan Qingci said cheerfully, getting up and walking towards her. First, he introduced Lin Lang to everyone, and then one by one, he introduced the other five people to Lin Lang.

Lin Lang greeted everyone calmly and naturally took the bag from Ruan Qingci’s hand, slightly turning to the side: “Shall we go? The car is waiting downstairs.”

Ye Mingchu looked at Ruan Qingci and gently suggested, “Didn’t you say one car isn’t enough? I can give you a ride too.”
Ruan Qingci hadn’t spoken yet, but Lin Lang exclaimed in surprise, “A seven-seater business car is enough!”

In addition to her, there are two men and four women here. Since Ruan Qingci said that her roommate would leave with her at night, it doesn’t include these two men!

Five people, a seven-seater business van, and there’s still room!

After leaving the restaurant, the three roommates watched as Ruan Qingci automatically and willingly linked arms with Lin Lang, skillfully using Lin Lang to shield herself from the wind. The two of
them walked forward, sticking together like conjoined twins.

Looking at Lin Lang as she opened the business car door with one hand, gently reminding them to get in carefully, and only after they were all seated did, she close the door and take her place in
the passenger seat.

Sitting in the back row, Tang Yisheng had a dreamy look on his face, his voice soft, both ethereal and real, he sighed, “Actually, older sisters can too. We don’t have to be so rigid about gender.”

Good-looking, charming, both assertive and considerate! Who wouldn’t want that!

Sitting next to her, Fang Qingming was full of black lines in his mind.

Sister, what kind of bold statement is this?!

Ruan Qingci is sitting in the front row!
