C8 The Dashing Boyfriend!
"Fang Xue. Wait. Let me buy you a drink!"
They had just reached the school gate when Lee Yun halted by the café.
"A drink?"
Fang Xue pursed her lips squeamishly. Milk tea was fattening. She avoided it to maintain her figure. On the other hand, it was advised not to take cold drinks during periods.
Fang Xue tried to indicate her reservations to Lee Yun through gestures. If it were someone else, Fang Xue would not have bothered to be so courteous! She had been swept off her feet by the dashing boy.
"Sure."
"Make it two cups of milk tea, one warm and the other hot," Lee Yun dictated to the café attendant. "You have red dates tea as a special here, right?"
After placing the order, Lee Yun beamed at the girl and said, "Fang, you appear to be unwell. A cup of hot tea will make you feel better."
Fang Xue's pretty face flushed red again. She was amazed that the boy had been sensitive enough to realize it was her time of the month.
Moreover, he was so sweet!
Fang Xue regarded Lee Yun profoundly.
"That would be perfect!"
The attendant declared zealously, "That's correct. Red dates tea is our winter special hot drink at 25 bucks a cup! It is precisely suited for this weather!"
"That sounds lovely. I'd like one. A cup of warm bubble milk tea as well, please," Lee Yun settled.
25 bucks for a cup of tea was steep but Lee Yun could afford it then.
"All right. Please be seated. The order will be ready in a while!"
Lee Yun helped Fang Xue find a seat. He let out a sigh of relief seeing she was in a better mood.
The café attendant while handing out the drinks whispered to Lee Yun in jealousy, "Buddy, your girlfriend is gorgeous. Such a rare beauty!"
Fang Xue turned her head away sheepishly when she was referred to as Lee Yun's girlfriend. It was not surprising that the attendant had never seen her before. Fang Xue belonged to qn upper class family and had never visited the middling café.
As far as Zhicai High School was concerned, she regarded herself as the No. 2 in beauty. Pitted against her, nobody else could qualify as No. 1!
Even Lee Feng wasn't as pretty as she was!
Lee Yun, taken by surprise by the attendant's remark, coughed awkwardly. He was about to explain that Fang Xue was not his girlfriend, when the cafe attendant turned to the girl and added, "Of course your boyfriend is also very handsome and even more gentle. The two of you seem to be made for each other!"
Lee Yun coughed even louder in response. It appeared the attendant was acting too friendly to turn the couple into regular customers.
"You are mistaken. Fang Xue and I are just classmates."
"Oh! Are you two really not a couple?"
The clerk muttered. Lee Yun and Fang Xue had appeared intimate, walking into the café with linked arms. Did his eyes deceive him?
"No, we are not!"
The café attendant observed the pretty girl blushing. 'Ah I get it now,' he thought.
'The two of them are officially not a couple, but the way things are going, they would be hitched soon.'
"Fang Xue, let's go. I'll help you get back to the classroom!"
Lee Yun took the drinks and left hurriedly, lest the attendant should say something embarrassing again.
Things seemed a little awkward. Lee Yun assured the girl, "Fang Xue, there's no need to take what he said seriously."
"It's fine."
Fang Xue nodded bashfully but the truth was that she was not offended by what the café attendant said.
In the final semester of senior high, it would not be a bad idea to have such a dashing and caring boyfriend.
The two of them entered the school campus with Lee Yun supporting her while she walked. Numerous students noticed the duo in astonishment. Several of them even clicked photos of their intimacy on their smartphones and posted them on the school web forum.
The news of Zhicai High School's No. 1 beauty and Lee Yun walking hand-in-hand spread throughout the school campus like wildfire.
"Bloody Hell!"
The curse came from a boy from the experimental class. He had just seen a photo of Fang Xue in Lee Yun's arms. The gossip of the duo's intimacy had reached him as well and he seethed with anger. The boy cursed again, rushed to his feet, and headed downstairs.
"Zhou Xianming! Hey man, where are you going?"
"I need to teach someone a lesson!"
"That sounds exciting! Let me come with you!"
