Chapter Three: The College Years. Got Hooked

  Lan Ruoxi followed the gentle breeze to the school cafeteria, where a glass door was adorned with potted green plants. Pushing open the door, one could see a long, ring-shaped dining table in the center of the cafeteria, lined with various delicacies, including Western-style steak salad and Chinese-style mantou pastries. Students held their trays, queuing up neatly to serve themselves, resembling a self-service cafeteria.

  It's really worthy of being a Fashion Academy, even the cafeteria is so unique.

  Seeing Lan Ruo's slightly appreciative gaze, Liu Qingfeng leaned in close to her and said softly, "Do you like the style here? I actually remodeled it based on foreign buffet restaurants."

  Silently pulling away from him, with a hint of estrangement in his eyes. "Mm! Not bad."

  Liu Qingfeng pulled her hand and walked to a window seat. "Xier, what do you want to eat? I'll go get it for you."

  "No need, I'll go get it myself." She pursed her lips and smiled lightly, shaking her head in refusal.

  "Alicia!" came Janice's surprised cry from behind her.

  Lan Ruoxi beamed with a radiant smile as she turned around. "Hey! Jenice."

  "Alicia, you really are fashionable." Janice warmly welcomed her with a gentle smile, like an intoxicating spring breeze that made people feel relaxed and comfortable.

  "Not yet! I'm here for the entrance exam, and there's another one this afternoon. Don't know if I can pass or not?" She asked with a mischievous glint in her big eyes.

  "Hehe......" Jenice's ocean-like blue eyes sparkled with an intoxicating smile, captivating the hearts of all the women present.

  "That teacher is so handsome! Like a prince from legend, he's really captivating!" Girl A stared at Jenice with sparkling eyes.

  "I heard he's our new foreign language teacher!" Girl B burst out with gossip.

  "Really! Which class is he in? Oh! So handsome! He gets more and more handsome the more I look at him!" The girl, Bing, had her hands clasped together in front of her chest, and couldn't help but drool from the corner of her mouth.

  "Actually, Teacher Liu is quite handsome! And he has a bit of a bad boy feel to him. Isn't it what people always say, 'men who aren't bad, women won't love'? I think Teacher Liu is my type!" Female student Ding also joined the discussion.

  The girls on this side were discussing heatedly, while on the other side, Liu Qingfeng looked at the two people who were chatting happily with a gloomy face.

  "Alicia, what would you like to eat? I'll go get it for you." Janice asked gently.

  "No need, I'd rather enjoy getting food myself. Let's go together." Lan Ruo Xue took the lead in walking to the dining table with her tray.

  "Good!" He picked up his tray and followed closely behind.

  Only the poor Liu Qingfeng was left on the side, drawing circles and cursing. YY's, after finally finding an opportunity to be alone with her, Cheng Yaojin suddenly appeared halfway.

  "Alicia, I'll accompany you for this afternoon's exam." He picked up the tongs and clamped a piece of steak onto her plate.

  "Thank you!" She replied with a gentle smile.

  Liu Qingfeng held a fork and followed them from behind, wishing he could stare a hole through Jenice's body.

  "Old... teacher, do you still want that steak?" The boy behind Liu Qingfeng asked cautiously.

  Liu Qingfeng lowered his head to see the overcooked and shapeless steak, and glared at the boy fiercely. "Can't I like eating a more well-done steak?"

  "The...the..." The boy picked up his tray and backed away a few steps before turning around and running off quickly.

  Liu Qingfeng saw that Lan Ruo and others had returned to their seats and were chatting intimately.

  He scowled, returned to his seat and slammed the dinner plate onto the table, trying to get their attention. But the two people just gave him a bewildered glance and continued to ignore him.

  Lan Ruoxi's eyes sparkled with a mischievous smile as she winked at Jenice.

  "Hey! Are you two treating me as if I don't exist?" Liu Qingfeng angrily stepped forward and asked loudly.

  "Alicia, what's wrong with Feng?" Janice glanced at Liu Qingfeng and looked at Lan Ruo with a puzzled expression.

  Shaking his head with an innocent face. "I don't know, probably got hooked."

  Liu Qing's eyes widened in anger as he stared at the two people who completely ignored him, his mouth twitching, and this time he really got angry.
