Campus Ace Girl-Chapter 525 - 526: Zhou Yunchen’s Girlfriend! Congwen Is Jealous
A slight, forced smile touched Shen Congwen’s lips. "Is that so?" she asked.
Gu Anxi said with regret, "Apparently, that girl isn’t his type either. I’ve heard his taste is quite unique. Congwen, you’ve been so close to him; have you heard anything?"
Shen Congwen was about to take a sip of water when she heard this—
His ideal type, and some unique taste!
She reflexively spat out the water! A patch on her shirt was soaked!
Gu Anxi stared at her. "Your shirt’s wet. How about going inside to change?"
Shen Congwen calmed down then, calmly took a tissue, and wiped herself. "Just a little, it’s fine."
Gu Anxi’s stare was rather intense, always seeming to carry a hidden meaning. Shen Congwen found it overwhelming and pretended not to care.
As Shen Congwen lowered her head, Gu Anxi glanced toward a certain man, raising an eyebrow provocatively.
The moment Zhou Yunchen’s gaze met Gu Anxi’s, he knew what this little rascal was up to. She wasn’t helping him; she clearly just wanted to watch him make a fool of himself.
And with Congwen’s prickly disposition, falling into the hands of that little scamp Gu Anxi, who knew how many times she’d end up blushing and flustered!
Zhou Yunchen thought deeply, suddenly realizing that Gu Anxi hadn’t been like this before. She used to be an aloof and pure young woman, but after getting together with Bo Xichen, her image seemed to have leaped directly from 2D to 3D!
He frowned, exhaling a long smoke ring.
The girl beside him was named Xiao Dong, and she was indeed very pretty. Many boys in An Pu pursued her.
What was truly surprising was that she had chosen Zhang Niuniu, also known as Yellow Hair.
Zhou Yunchen had just borrowed Xiao Dong from Yellow Hair for the evening, so Yellow Hair hadn’t come tonight.
Xiao Dong was naturally poised and generous. In Gu Anxi’s and Zhou Yunchen’s words, her being with Yellow Hair was a case of a beautiful flower being wasted on him. But Xiao Dong genuinely liked Manager Zhang; their relationship was quite stable.
During tonight’s charade, Xiao Dong also found herself secretly observing Deputy General Manager Shen.
Although she knew Shen Congwen was a woman, she was still somewhat taken aback!
She really was too... It wasn’t that she had a masculine air; on the contrary, she was very delicate and refined, almost overly so. But dressed in a light gray shirt and black trousers, she looked remarkably natural and extremely attractive.
Xiao Dong was staring, and Zhou Yunchen nudged her. "Hey, you’re not falling for her, are you? I’m warning you, she’s a woman. She can’t give you happiness."
Xiao Dong, who was quite familiar with him, glanced at him. "Where are your thoughts heading, Manager Zhou? I just want to see what the woman you like looks like."
Zhou Yunchen caught the teasing tone in her voice and hummed softly. "You seem to have ill intentions."
"Obviously," Xiao Dong said, then suddenly leaned toward him, angling herself—
From Shen Congwen’s perspective, the gesture looked incredibly intimate, almost as if they had kissed.
Her gaze flickered, but she didn’t say a word, remaining quietly seated.
Gu Anxi coughed lightly. "Actually, Congwen, if you like Zhou Yunchen, it’s not too late to confess now."
Shen Congwen glanced at her, then smiled faintly. "You know?"
Gu Anxi was quite straightforward. "Yeah, I know."
Shen Congwen’s voice grew softer. "Then, do you think it’s possible?"
Gu Anxi beamed. "Then you should ask yourself if you like him, and whether seeing him with someone else is an eyesore."
"I don’t like him, and it’s not an eyesore," Shen Congwen stated, letting out a long sigh.
Gu Anxi chuckled softly. "Dishonest."
She opened a bottle of champagne and poured a glass for herself and Shen Congwen. "If it’s not an eyesore for you, have some wine. I’ll introduce you to some pretty young women later."
Shen Congwen shot her a reproachful look. "Anxi!"
Gu Anxi raised her glass, motioning for Shen Congwen to do the same. "What?"
A knowing smile crept onto her lips. "Don’t you want to see him hopping mad? How can you always let him tease you like this?"
Shen Congwen’s gaze landed intently on Gu Anxi’s face. "What’s your goal today?"
She looked at the wine. "There isn’t anything in this, is there?"
Gu Anxi exclaimed, "Oh, Congwen, you think too poorly of me."
She then rested her chin in one hand and smiled.
Shen Congwen felt a bit flustered.
Because Gu Anxi’s tone and expression were strikingly similar to a certain someone. She was convinced in her heart that both of them were very bad. The very, very bad kind. Sometimes, she even wondered if Zhou Yunchen and Gu Anxi were actual siblings!
Gu Anxi looked at her, then at Zhou Yunchen over there, and smiled. "Congwen, you really don’t need to be sad. Look, many of the young women here like Zhou Yunchen, and quite a few have been sneaking glances at you."
"I’m not sad." The composure on Shen Congwen’s exceptionally fair face was visibly cracking.
Gu Anxi moved closer. "As long as you’re not sad, then drink up. I guarantee there’s nothing in it."
She took the first sip herself.
Shen Congwen looked at her skeptically, then finally took a small sip.
She was naturally very fair-skinned, exceptionally refined and attractive. After just a small sip of wine, a faint blush spread across her face, making her look even more beautiful.
The alcohol content really wasn’t low.
Around them, other young women were surreptitiously watching Deputy General Manager Shen. In fact, everyone had heard the rumors about Zhou Yunchen and Shen Congwen, but no one had expected Shen Congwen to actually attend such an event.
Truthfully, Shen Congwen herself was miserable. If she had known what kind of gathering this would be, she would have refused to come, even if it killed her. However, she was someone who always observed proprieties; since she had come, she couldn’t very well disrespect the host.
In the end, she could only endure the awkwardness, feeling miserable.
But after a small glass of wine, things seemed a little more bearable. She took another small sip.
Just then, a figure in dark blue sat down beside her. Shen Congwen’s heart gave a jolt, and she turned her head to look.
It was none other than Zhou Yunchen.
Moreover, he had taken the empty seat right between Shen Congwen and Gu Anxi, sitting rather close.
Shen Congwen could even smell the faint scent of tobacco on him. The aroma was pleasant... yet it also made her feel a bit dizzy.
It must be the alcohol, she thought.
Her face felt hot, and a subtle discomfort spread through her body. She wanted to leave, but an arm lightly pressed hers, followed by a low voice. "Why are you leaving just as I arrive?"
Zhou Yunchen turned his head, looking at her.
Shen Congwen lowered her eyes and said softly, "I wasn’t."
Zhou Yunchen chuckled softly. "That’s good, then."
He then released her arm and casually began chatting with Gu Anxi, smoothly picking up Shen Congwen’s glass and taking a drink.
He frowned after just one sip. "This wine?"
The alcohol content was definitely not low.
His gaze fell on Gu Anxi’s small face, then shifted back to Shen Congwen, his eyes holding an unreadable expression.
Gu Anxi chuckled. "Oh, Congwen handles her alcohol very well."
As she spoke, she stretched lazily. "You two chat. It seems they’ve started grilling over there; I’ll go take a look."
Zhou Yunchen’s gaze was deep. He gave a light laugh, watching Gu Anxi depart.
