"I happened to bring some grilled fish and kebabs."
"Hehe, that's good."
At this moment, Ju Zi also came over, took his hand, and Meng Hongchen, who had been cuddling with her for a while, smiled gently at Ju Zi after seeing this.
Then she quietly got out of his arms, and Ju Zi hugged her for a while.
In fact, Cao Yu had already confessed this to Meng Hongchen back when they were at the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy.
At first, Meng Hongchen ignored him for a long time.
Are you getting used to life here?
Meng Hongchen, while eating the grilled fish, said, "It's alright, about the same as the academy."
Ju Zi then added, "It's just that the food in the cafeteria isn't very good."
The thought of this made them angry.
Ke Ke chimed in from behind, "Besides, the food in the cafeteria is expensive, and it's not even as good as what Ju Zi makes."
Cao Yu said, "The real delicacies are outside the academy. I've opened quite a few restaurants there, such as fried chicken, hot pot, and grilled fish."
At this moment, Meng Hongchen looked at him with shining eyes and said, "Really? I've only been here for a few days, so I don't know much about it yet. I should have asked you first."
Ke Ke asked curiously, "You own this shop? I really need to try it tonight."
"By the way, is it free?"
Patting his chest, Cao Yu said cheerfully, "It has to be free, after all, you get food and lodging here." Then he said to Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan standing behind him, " Juechen, Ziyan, you two should come often, don't worry, we won't charge you."
As he spoke, Cao Yu took out five gold and red cards from his Storage Soul Tool and handed them out.
"As long as you bring these cards to the store, you can eat as much as you want without paying. Remember to keep them safe and don't lose them."
Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan awkwardly pushed away the cards that were offered to them, saying, "Wouldn't you lose money in your business then? We have our own money, and you even pay us salaries, so let's not take this."
Cao Yu forcefully shoved the cards into their hands, saying firmly, "Take them carefully. The purpose of those shops I opened wasn't to make money. I just got tired of the food in the cafeteria, so I started these things."
Ju Zi chimed in, " Ziyan, you should just keep it. Cao Yu has plenty of money; don't forget he's the big boss of the Soul Guidance Department."
"Alright then, looks like we'll have to rip off this rich guy a good time, haha!"
Everyone laughed happily, but they didn't forget to eat the delicious food. Ji Juechen gently punched his shoulder.
He chuckled softly, "I knew I made the right choice coming here. There are so many novel things for me to study. I wonder how you came up with this idea."
As he spoke, he took out something the size of a brick from his Storage Soul Tool.
"This 'Big Brother' telephone is so useful! I can contact the other party anytime, and it doesn't consume any Soul Power."
Cao Yu asked with some curiosity, "You have this too?"
Meng Hongchen also took out a mobile phone and said to him, "Yeah! We were given these as soon as we arrived, and they're pretty easy to use."
" Cao Yu, tell me your phone number, I'll save it."
"Okay." He silently pulled out his "big brother" mobile phone, but everyone clearly noticed that his phone number was different from everyone else's.
Especially in terms of color scheme, why is Cao Yu all gold, while the others are all black?
"Wow! This isn't fair, Cao Yu! How could you eat all the food while we're gone?" Meng Hongchen pouted angrily, glancing at the phone in her hand, feeling there was no way to compare!
The difference is simply too obvious.
"Haha! What can you do? That's one of the perks of being a boss." Cao Yu proudly showed off his gold-plated telephone, saying smugly, "How about it? Pretty, right?"
After being met with both envious and disdainful looks from the crowd, he finally promised to make them other colors as well, which calmed everyone down.
After saving the phone number, everyone leisurely ate their grilled fish.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Cao Yu went for a walk outside with Meng Hongchen and Ju Zi.
As Meng Hongchen walked, she said, "This morning, Dean Xian told us that the academy is going to hold an event in the next few days and that we all need to prepare."
Ju Zi nodded and said softly, "Yes, they specifically told us girls to dress up, saying it was some kind of grand event at Sea God Lake, I think?"
At this moment, Meng Hongchen suddenly remembered something, then looked at Cao Yu and asked curiously, "Could it be the Sea God Lake Matchmaking Convention you mentioned?"
"So fast? I thought it would take more time."
Holding Meng Hongchen and Ju Zi's little hands tightly, Cao Yu remembered this matter only after they reminded him.
But Ju Zi looked at him with a mischievous grin and said, " Little Yu, so what are you planning to do?"
After all, Cao Yu has been hooking up with more than just those two!
Thinking about this made Meng Hongchen angry. She pinched his arm hard and said irritably, "Let's see how you end up then!"
"Sister Ju Zi, let's not save him then, hmph!"
Ju Zi covered her mouth and chuckled softly, "Right, neither of us will save you then."
"We might even cause you trouble."
"Yes, that's right." Meng Hongchen also smiled smugly. The two women exchanged a glance, their meanings clear in their eyes. It seemed that they had already planned how to mess with her.
I felt inexplicably scared, and even trembled a little.
Cao Yu said weakly, "Can I not participate?"
"Can't!"
"Absolutely not!" Meng Hongchen and Ju Zi stared intently at him. Ju Zi then slowly added, "Even if we agree, what about your girlfriends?"
"They definitely won't agree."
"What you said makes so much sense, I can't even refute it." Cao Yu seemed somewhat resigned to his fate.
Then the two of them stood on tiptoe and patted his head, seemingly as a final comfort before the execution, "Don't worry, everything will be alright. Even if something does happen, it will only be a little bit."
"Don't be afraid, we're here. Don't worry! We absolutely won't help you."
Cao Yu said, almost in tears, "I'm so touched, you guys are so kind to me."
Meng Hongchen and Ju Zi both nodded with satisfied smiles; there was no way they could escape from their grasp now.
We need to teach him a lesson, otherwise his pent-up anger will wear him out.
For the sake of their own health, they have both made up their minds.
After returning to the dormitory and taking a shower in the afternoon, Cao Yu still couldn't find Wang Dong.
Huo Yuhao was already waiting outside the dormitory building. After putting on his coat, Cao Yu went downstairs.
" Brother Yu, what are you planning to eat today?"
"Make some of your specialty grilled fish, it's been so long since I've tasted your cooking."
"Okay." Huo Yuhao nodded in agreement.
"By the way, have you seen Wang Dong and the others?"
Even after he returned for so long, he still hadn't seen Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, Tang Ya, Ning Tian Jiang Nannan. He only saw Ma Xiaotao at the Sea God Pavilion, but Ma Xiaotao had already graduated from the Inner Court and officially become a member of the Sea God Pavilion.
"They're all preparing for the Sea God Lake Matchmaking Convention, and they said they have a surprise for you."
After saying that, Huo Yuhao added, "Oh, by the way, they also asked me to tell you that you absolutely must participate."
