Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!-Chapter 501 - Two Hundred and Thirty-Nine: Daily -

The journey from Jinling to Suzhou took a total of two hours by car, and Zhou Yuwen just hugged Zheng Yanyan and leaned there, dozing off without realizing it.

Su Qing, who had been driving the X7 and following behind the coach, woke them up once along the way. Initially, Su Qing had been following along, but after a while, she felt that Zhou Yuwen and his group were going too slow, so she simply decided to overtake them.

As she overtook, she noticed Zhou Yuwen and Zheng Yanyan leaning on each other and gave a honk of her horn.

At that moment, Zheng Yanyan, already half asleep, lifted her head, frowned, and took a glance at Su Qing and the others outside the window.

Zhou Yuwen asked what was wrong with them.

Zheng Yanyan said she didn't know.

"Acting like they're sick," she complained carelessly before continuing to lean on Zhou Yuwen's neck, half-closing her eyes to sleep.

Zhou Yuwen just took a glance at Su Qing passing them by the window and didn't take it to heart, after all, at almost thirty years of age, if one can't even drive well, then it would be better to be reborn again.

And so, with his head tilted onto Zheng Yanyan's head, he continued to sleep.

They set off at 8:30 in the morning, and by the time they arrived in Suzhou it was just 10:30. As they got off the highway, the trip leader, Teacher Sun Lili, woke everyone up. She had a small horn clipped to her waist, which she used for lecturing.

She tested the volume briefly and then announced, "Okay, we are now off the highway. Due to the tight schedule of our trip to Suzhou, we won't be going to the hotel first. Instead, we'll go straight to Suzhou's Lingering Garden. The Lingering Garden is one of the smallest of the several gardens in Suzhou, occupying relatively less space, but the space it does occupy is incredibly well utilized, offering a wealth of features and great control of the spatial layout."

"I will take you to tour the Lingering Garden first, and then at twelve o'clock we will head back to the hotel," she said.

As the responsible teacher, Sun Lili was only in charge of teaching; other matters were left to the class officers, such as booking hotels and organizing meals.

Chang Hao, the class president, had already discussed it with the other officers, deciding that only hotel arrangements would be managed while the students were to handle their own meals.

After sleeping for two hours, Zheng Yanyan felt refreshed and rubbed her eyes, asking Zhou Yuwen what they should eat for lunch.

Zhou Yuwen suggested, "Why don't you call Shen Yu and the others and see what they're doing for food? Otherwise, we'll go find them during the free time later."

So, Zheng Yanyan made a call to Shen Yu and, indeed, while Zhou Yuwen's group had just left the highway, Su Qing and her group had already arrived at Shen Yu's house—a full half an hour earlier. Su Qing even took the phone to complain, "How come you've only just arrived? We've been here for half an hour."

Zheng Yanyan couldn't be bothered with her and told her to pass the phone to Shen Yu.

Shen Yu's mother was planning to invite them to a meal at a hotel at noon, as a way of showing hospitality to her daughter's university friends who were visiting.

Shen Yu's mother had some recollection of Zhou Yuwen; she had even mentioned him earlier while chatting with Su Qing and the other girls.

She asked, "Hey, are you still in contact with that senior you met at the beginning of the term?"

"Senior?" Su Qing and Lu Lin were puzzled when they heard Shen Yu knew a senior; they were utterly confused.

It wasn't until Shen Yu clarified that she was talking about Zhou Yuwen.

Then the two of them suddenly realized.

Shen Yu told her mother that he was actually from the same grade as herself.

"At the time, I think he pretended to be a senior just to sell phone cards," she explained.

"Pretended?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yu's mother uttered an 'oh' and said, "So this young man must come from a family that's not so well-off, having to earn money at such a young age. Afterward, did you keep in touch?"

"We did. He became my roommate's boyfriend. He's here with us this time. This car is his," Shen Yu admitted.

As she spoke, Shen Yu pointed to the BMW X7 parked in the residential parking spot.

Now Shen Yu's mother was completely baffled. Hearing about Zhou Yuwen selling phone cards had given her the impression that he was working his way through school. Suddenly her daughter was telling her that he drove an X7?

What exactly did this young man do?

Isn't this car your roommate's?

Faced with her mother's confusion, Shen Yu had to explain everything clearly, saying that Zhou Yuwen's family wasn't short of money, but he was very smart. He started selling phone cards upon entering university, and later even started a company. Now, most of the food delivery and courier services at their school were organized by his company.

It seemed he had made quite a bit of money.

After listening to her daughter, Shen Yu's mother finally understood but then felt a touch of regret. In her local dialect, she said, "This boy, the first time I saw him, I found him quite promising, a good match for you. Look at you; you let someone else snatch him away."

Hearing this, Shen Yu's cheeks flushed with embarrassment. She stealthily glanced at Su Qing and Lu Lin beside her, and seeing that they didn't react, she sighed in relief.

She replied in her soft Suzhou dialect, "What are you saying? My friends are still here!"

"So what if they are? They won't understand. You're just shy, always one step behind everyone else. You're in university now; you can date."

The gentle Suzhou dialect is quite different from Mandarin, and those who are not familiar with it can't understand it at all. Even Su Qing, who had lived with Shen Yu for four years in her previous life and had made some friends from southern Jiangsu after graduating, still found their speech hard to understand.

Curious about the unintelligible conversation between the mother and daughter, Su Qing asked what they were talking about.

Shen Yu brushed it off with "Nothing much."

"My mom said she'd treat you for lunch, and then I told her I'd take you, but she insisted on taking you herself," Shen Yu came up with an excuse.

Hearing this, Su Qing immediately waved her hands to Shen Yu's mother, saying, "Auntie, there's no need. We can just grab something simple to eat."
