"Xiaohan, are you free tonight? Shall we grab dinner together?" Wei Zhao asked.
"Dinner tonight? Of course, no problem. Just the two of us?" Xu Shilan's heart suddenly skipped, and a faint anticipation crept up in her.
"The others from my dorm with Bai Weituo, and Xinyan's roommates too," Wei Zhao said. "Yaoyao and Xiaoshu may come as well."
"Oh..." Xu Shilan was slightly disappointed, though she kept her tone light. "Sure, sounds good!"
"Shijie, is Wei Zhao treating us to dinner?" Cheng Yiyi came over just then and asked.
"Yes. Oh, Yiyi, will you come?" Xu Shilan nodded and asked.
"Of course! Never mind Great Hero Lin treating us—even if he weren't, I'd want to treat him, to thank him for saving my life yesterday!" Cheng Yiyi said.
"Great!" Xu Shilan turned to Wei Zhao. "Wei Zhao, Yiyi wants to come too."
"Sure, the more the merrier—let's all go together!" Wei Zhao didn't mind one extra person.
After hanging up, Xu Shilan gave Cheng Yiyi a knowing look. "Yiyi, this isn't like you. Usually when someone invites you to dinner, you never go—not even Zhang Duopan, whose father has dealings with you, has managed to get you to his table, has he?"
"Heh heh, isn't this different? Great Hero Lin risked everything to protect us yesterday. If he's treating, of course I'm going!" Cheng Yiyi said, as though it were the most natural thing in the world.
"Of course?" Xu Shilan frowned, then gave Cheng Yiyi a teasing look. "Yiyi, don't tell me you've fallen for him? Saw Wei Zhao being so dashing yesterday and lost your heart at first sight?"
"Hmph, so what if I have?" Cheng Yiyi said carelessly. "Since ancient times, beauties have loved heroes—haven't you fallen for him too, Jiejie? I just think a man like Wei Zhao is a real man. If I could be his woman, how safe I'd feel!"
"Yiyi, are you serious?" Xu Shilan's eyes went wide.
"Of course I'm not! Haha!" Cheng Yiyi giggled. "I do admire him, but I haven't thought about dating yet. I've only just debuted, and I've always had a pure, innocent image—if I started seeing someone now, it would probably hurt me badly! You, though, Jiejie—you ought to have a boyfriend by now! Why don't you go out with Wei Zhao for a while, and when you've had your fun, hand him over to me..."
"Me? Cough, cough!" Xu Shilan nearly choked on Cheng Yiyi's words. "Fun? What fun? Fun my foot!"
"I was only joking... Jiejie, don't tell me your conscience is pricking you?" Cheng Yiyi looked at Xu Shilan with a grin. "What are you so nervous about?"
