Chapter 2018 — You Did That on Purpose!
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Freshman gala, freshman gala—don't you know what a freshman gala is? It's a gala for freshmen. If everyone onstage is a freshman, that's a freshman gala. Inviting a star makes it a concert!" Zhang Duopan said. "You're bringing in outside help, so it's not purely freshmen anymore, and of course it doesn't count!"
Bai Weituo was furious at Zhang Duopan's words but could not refute them. The man was splitting hairs, insisting on the word "freshman," and there was nothing Bai Weituo could do about it—after all, he really had brought in an outsider.
"Haha, Brother Zhang is right. This is all just joking around. We and Meiyue are all classmates—we can't cut ties over a little bet!" Fan Ganhe chimed in, echoing him.
Wei Zhao sneered inwardly. As expected, even if they lost outright, they still had an excuse ready.
But this was Bai Weituo's business, and Wei Zhao had no wish to get involved—there was no reason to. If Wang Xinyan were involved, though, he naturally wouldn't let it slide.
Soon the drinks and dishes were brought to the table one after another, and Zhang Duopan raised his glass smugly. "First of all, thank you, Yiyi and Shihan, for gracing my humble dinner with your presence. Meiyue and I are both your fans—it's truly an honor beyond words to dine with you!"
Bai Weituo rolled his eyes in contempt. Xu Shilan was clearly invited by Wei Zhao, yet from Zhang Duopan's mouth it sounded as though he had brought her himself.
"Wow, this shrimp is really delicious! Arrow-Brand Bro, you try some!" Shen Yushu picked up a big shrimp and placed it on Wei Zhao's plate, not sparing Zhang Duopan a single glance—leaving him standing there, unable to either keep talking or sit down.
"Yeah, Brother Lin, the food here is really something. If it weren't for a big spender treating us, I'd never get to eat here!" Bai Weituo nodded and said, "Brother Lin, let Sister-in-law have a taste too!"
"What?" Wei Zhao shot Bai Weituo a glare, thinking, can't this kid read the room? Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu both seemed less than fond of Wang Xinyan, and here he was calling Wang Xinyan "Sister-in-law"?
"Bai Weituo, don't go shouting nonsense... There's nothing between Wei Zhao and me..." Wang Xinyan, mortified at being talked about like that by Bai Weituo in front of so many people, hurriedly waved her hand.
"He was calling me and Sister Yao, wasn't he? Who was calling you? Such a flatterer!" Shen Yushu glanced at Wang Xinyan and said.
"I... I'm flattering myself?" Wang Xinyan pointed at herself, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. But she had never been one for quarrels, so she just shook her head and said nothing more.
Seeing the trouble he'd caused, Bai Weituo quickly shut his mouth and dared not make another sound—but Zhang Duopan looked as though he had discovered a new continent!
