After the interlude, Mu Changsheng sat down next to He Shuyu and Xu Wen.

Although Song Haoning was displeased, he knew he had to stop there. If he continued, he'd be shooting himself in the foot.

Wang Xing, being perceptive, chuckled, "Old Song was a bit careless just now. Changsheng, don't take it to heart. We're all in the same dorm. Old Song definitely didn't mean anything by it. Come, let's have a drink."

Seeing Wang Xing's quick thinking, Song Haoning nodded inwardly. He raised his glass and took a sip.

Song Haoning felt much better seeing this. He took out the menu and said, "Everyone, help yourselves to whatever you want to eat."

Xu Wen chuckled, "Haoning's treating today, so order whatever you like."

"Then we won't be polite," a woman wearing glasses said with a smile.

Song Haoning magnanimously declared, "Order whatever you want."

"Unlike some people, I don't have to think twice about ordering a cup of bubble tea."

He Shuyu frowned, about to speak, but Mu Changsheng raised his hand and gently pressed her small hand, giving her a look that seemed to say, "I'll handle the rest."

Seeing Mu Changsheng's confident gaze, He Shuyu's heart fluttered.

"I'll have the stir-fried beef with green peppers and shredded potatoes."

"Then I'll have the coconut chicken."

Song Haoning nodded slightly. These dishes weren't expensive. The meal would cost at most one or two thousand yuan, which was pocket change to him.

Soon, the menu was passed to Song Haoning. Without even looking, he said, "One braised abalone, and one braised lion's head."

Du Yaming blinked at the prices of these two dishes, "Old Song, aren't these two a bit too expensive? They're over five hundred each."

"It's just a small amount, a small amount. I'm treating today, so order whatever you like."

"This braised lion's head is one of the restaurant's signature dishes."

"I've had it over ten times already." Song Haoning chuckled.

Du Yaming's jaw dropped, "Over ten times... at 268 each, that's thousands over ten times!"

Jiang Ruizhao said with a faint smile, "Brother Song often eats here."

Song Haoning leaned back in his chair and laughed, "I haven't tried Tianhongmen's braised abalone yet, but I've had it at Zunyue Hotel."

"The taste was very good."

"Zunyue Hotel, that's... one of the top hotels in Tannan City. Wouldn't a meal there cost over a thousand?" Wang Xing asked, slightly taken aback.

"Not really. I went with some friends back then, and we only spent tens of thousands." Song Haoning waved his hand dismissively.

Talk about showing off.

"Tens of thousands?!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment. Spending tens of thousands on a meal was something they couldn't even imagine.

Song Haoning felt an immense sense of satisfaction. He then tossed the menu in front of Mu Changsheng and said with a smile, "Changsheng, you order a few things too."

"I know you might not have dined at such a fancy restaurant before, but it's okay. We're all in the same dorm. I'm treating today, so feel free to order whatever you want."

Mu Changsheng's lips twitched. He looked at the menu, picked up a pen, and his gaze fell on dishes costing thousands. He feigned surprise, "These are so expensive."

Jiang Ruizhao sneered, "Brother Song told you to order, so just order."

Song Haoning looked at Mu Changsheng with disdain and chuckled, "Changsheng, don't let your hand shake. You might only get to come to a place like this once in your life. But it's okay, if you want to come again in the future, just tell me, and I'll definitely bring you again."

Mu Changsheng's lips twitched. "Since you're so enthusiastic, I'll order a few things then."

Without hesitation, Mu Changsheng ticked off dishes like garlic stir-fried Shanghai greens, ice cream beef, wagyu beef sandwich, and teppanyaki crab.

After ordering, Mu Changsheng handed the menu to the waiter. The waiter glanced at the menu and was slightly taken aback. He walked over to Song Haoning and asked, "Sir, are you sure you want these?"

Song Haoning couldn't be bothered to look and said indifferently, "Just serve what they've ordered."

The waiter nodded, "Please wait a moment."

Mu Changsheng smiled slightly, propping his head up, and looked at Song Haoning. "Old Song, I didn't expect you to be so generous."

"I was blind before."

Song Haoning was stunned. He hadn't expected Mu Changsheng to become so compliant. Song Haoning felt a surge of secret delight. Little brat, I still can't handle you.

Xi Chunpeng was also surprised. What's going on with Old Mu?

"Changsheng, follow me closely in the future. Maybe after graduation, I can even help you secure a job so you can support your family."

Jiang Ruizhao also chimed in with a smile, "That's right. Following Brother Song means you won't be left out."

Mu Changsheng smiled, I hope you can still smile so happily when it's time to pay the bill.

Wang Xing and Du Yaming were social butterflies, quickly striking up conversations with Xu Wen's roommates.

Xi Chunpeng, on the other hand, was socially anxious and didn't say much.

But what Mu Changsheng didn't expect was that a quiet, ordinary-looking girl from Xu Wen's dorm actually approached Xi Chunpeng to talk.

Meanwhile, Mu Changsheng and He Shuyu were exchanging pleasantries.

Seeing He Shuyu and Mu Changsheng chatting and laughing together, Song Haoning felt quite displeased.

Song Haoning hadn't expected Xu Wen's dorm to have such a beautiful woman.

Song Haoning licked his lips, thinking he needed to find a way to get her contact information.

As he spoke, Song Haoning placed his hand on Guo Xiaolan's thigh.

Guo Xiaolan's face flushed red, and she glanced at Song Haoning with embarrassment.

Jiang Ruizhao, standing nearby, didn't notice anything.

Mu Changsheng's senses were far beyond those of ordinary people, and he clearly caught Guo Xiaolan's subtle reaction.

Mu Changsheng frowned. Could the relationship between these two... be unusual?

Mu Changsheng immediately activated his Fiery Golden Eyes.

"Name: Guo Xiaolan

Attractiveness: 73

Ability: Bed Warmer

Partners: Xu Shan, Wang Ming, Lin Yu, Song Haoning."

Upon seeing Guo Xiaolan's profile, Mu Changsheng almost spat out his red wine.

Jiang Ruizhao looked at Mu Changsheng and teased, "That's expensive red wine. I know you haven't had it before, but you don't need to cherish it so much."

Mu Changsheng looked at Jiang Ruizhao with a strange expression. After talking for so long, this woman still hadn't been won over by Jiang Ruizhao.

Was he just a complete failure?

His own girlfriend was almost fully charged by someone else, and he didn't even know it.

Mu Changsheng chuckled lightly, "Old Jiang, I honestly didn't realize you liked wearing a hat."
