Quick Transmigration: After Fake Death, All the Protagonists I Flirted With Went Crazy

Chapter 444 The Beginning of Everything 35

"Gu Yao, let's hurry! We're close to the third canteen, and they have sweet and sour pork ribs today!"

As Chen Zhao hurriedly packed his things, he waved to Gu Yao, his anxious appearance making Gu Yao frown.

He was sketching something on a tablet in his hand. Hearing Chen Zhao's voice, he replied without looking up, "If there's no food in the cafeteria, I'll take you out to eat. Order whatever you want. Now, quiet!"

Hearing Gu Yao's words, Chen Zhao was no longer in a hurry. He unconsciously lowered his head and pinched his stomach, where the soft flesh on his waist was beginning to take shape.

He unconsciously pinched his cheek again, and whether it was psychological or not, he felt that he had gained more weight.

He sat in the seat in front of Gu Yao, rested his head on Gu Yao's desk, blinked, and sighed with worry, "Gu Yao, have you been eating and drinking too much lately? I feel like I've gained a lot of weight this semester."

Gu Yao raised his eyes, twirling the stylus in his hand, and raised an eyebrow. "If you don't want special treatment, that's fine too..."

Chen Zhao immediately chimed in, "How could I? As a good roommate of the new era, how could I leave our precious roommate here all alone?"

Gu Yao smiled and leaned back in his chair, looking relaxed and casual. "Tell me, how am I the darling of our dorm? Does anyone's darling bring food to a bunch of roommates who can't get out of bed every day?"

Chen Zhao choked up.

Gu Yao added, "Usually, this kind of person is everyone's dad in the dormitory, you should call him 'Dad'."

A roommate who doesn't want to be a friend's father isn't a good boss.

Chen Zhao scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, "I just couldn't get up..."

Five days a week, four of which I didn't get up at 8 am, so it's no wonder I couldn't get up.

Of the four people in their dorm, apart from Gu Yao whose schedule was abnormally regular, the rest were all night owls.

Oh, Yu Ran usually stays up late, but lately he's been getting involved with (crossed out) Yu Ran teaching him how to play games, so he's been staying up a bit late.

Gu Yao twitched the corners of his lips, looking at the tablet's image that was beginning to take shape. In a good mood, he closed the tablet, stood up, and waved to Chen Zhao, "Come on, Dad's in a good mood today. I'll take you to that spicy crayfish place you've been craving for so long."

Chen Zhao suddenly stood up, his eyes shining. "Really?"

Gu Yao raised an eyebrow, ignored Chen Zhao, and walked straight out. He waved his hand with feigned regret, "Since you don't want to eat it, I'll pack it up and take it back to Yu Ran and Yu Bai."

As he spoke, Gu Yao sighed.

Chen Zhao didn't care about anything else. He rushed forward and grabbed Gu Yao's wrist. "Brother, you are my only brother."

Gu Yao glanced at him sideways and clicked his tongue lightly, "Chen Zhao, can't you have any integrity? Besides, isn't your only brother Yu Ran?"

Chen Zhao's face stiffened, his mind racing, but Gu Yao "mercifully" waved his hand, "I'm not interested in being a big brother. With your shamelessness, I'll doubt my family's genes. I'm more interested in being a father. You can call me Dad."

Gu Yao looked at Chen Zhao with a light smile, as if he was expecting something.

Chen Zhao's thought process was different from ordinary people. He looked puzzled and blurted out, "Why don't you, as the father, doubt your own genes?"

Gu Yao was taken aback, then sighed softly, gently placed his hand on Chen Zhao's head, and said earnestly, "Because no parent in the world would despise their child, even if he is mentally challenged."

"What else can we do but keep raising them? It's not like we can't afford it."

Gu Yao's face was solemn, his whole demeanor was worried and distressed, and there was even a hint of...kindness?

Chen Zhao was taken aback, but Gu Yao had already sighed and walked out with a slightly hunched back, as if he were really an old man who was heartbroken over his silly son.

It took Chen Zhao a while to react, "Gu Yao, who are you calling stupid?"

His voice was somewhat exasperated, but Gu Yao's eyes revealed a smile, looking at him with a hint of mockery.

Chen Zhao then changed his tune, "No, who's the stupid son? No, I'm your father!"

Chen Zhao was somewhat incoherent, his whole being filled with annoyance at being mocked. Gu stood at the door watching him, raised his hand to check his watch, his gaze deep and his voice light and airy, "Chen Zhao, if you don't hurry up, we might have to wait in line outside until we die."

Restaurants near universities that offer good food at reasonable prices are always a favorite among students.

And this restaurant, which specializes in spicy crayfish, is one of the best.

Chen Zhao hurriedly stuffed his things into his bag. "Let's go, let's go quickly. I don't want to wait outside in this cold weather. In this cold weather, we should eat some spicy crayfish to warm ourselves up."

Seeing Chen Zhao holding his hand, Gu Yao felt somewhat helpless and followed him forward.

When they arrived, they ran into Yu Ran and Cen Yubai.

Looking at the two people opposite him, Chen Zhao had a betrayed expression on his face. "Gu Yao, you promised to give me special tutoring! I waited for you for so long, and in the end, I was wronged!"

He clutched his chest, as if he were Lin Daiyu, about to collapse at any moment.

Gu Yao smiled and looked at Yu Ran, who had no expression on his face, with a hint of teasing in his eyes, "Today I'm not the sugar daddy of our dorm. Today, all the expenses will be paid by Young Master Yu."

Chen Zhao was taken aback. "Young Master Yu, Yu Bai, you've struck it rich?"

Cen Yubai smiled, "My full name is Cen Yubai, my surname is Cen, not Yu."

Chen Zhao's gaze became even more suspicious. He rushed forward and pulled Yu Ran aside, asking in a low voice, "Yu Ran, where did you get the money? Is it enough? I have some more here."

Chen Zhao gritted his teeth, thought about his bank balance, and realized that he should tighten his belt this month.

He regretted it a bit; he had bought a lot of things during the Double Twelve shopping festival a couple of days ago, otherwise he wouldn't be so poor now.

Yu Ran looked at him, a faint smile in her eyes. She turned slightly to the side and lowered her voice, "So, how much will our Young Master Chen sponsor me?"

Chen Zhao bit his lip, hesitated for a moment, then declared with boundless confidence, "Five hundred!"

That's almost a third of his monthly living expenses.

Seeing Chen Zhao's resolute expression, Yu Ran's smile deepened. She raised her hand and ruffled his hair, her voice softening as she said, "Silly boy, keep your things for yourself. I have money."

Chen Zhao had some doubts, after all, from childhood to adulthood, in his eyes, Yu Ran's family was not very well-off.

His family was considered to be slightly above average in terms of wealth, while Yu Ran's family was struggling financially, living with his grandmother in the countryside.

He never mentioned his parents, so Chen Zhao guessed they must have passed away.

He never asked.

"Don't try to be brave. At worst, my mom will scold me, and I'll just act like a pushover and ask her for an advance on next month's living expenses."

Yu Ran shook his head, looked at Chen Zhao's appearance, and suddenly sighed, "Actually, I won a free meal voucher from this restaurant a couple of days ago. It can get me a free meal worth a thousand yuan. I definitely can't eat that much by myself. Isn't this just using it to give away to someone else?"

Chen Zhao's eyes lit up. "Really?"

Yu Ran nodded, "Of course it's true!"

The worry on Chen Zhao's face vanished instantly. He straightened up, patted his chest, and said, "Don't worry, I'll definitely make the most of that stupid thing! I won't waste a single drop!"

Yu Ran's lips twitched, and seeing Chen Zhao's happy expression, he ultimately said nothing.

Fine, fine, I'll just say I'm 250.

Being a fool is fine too.
