I have big problems with my superpowers and my relationship

You don't want to cross the line, do you?

Lu Chen frowned slightly: "What's the matter? Upgrading the relationship is impossible."

Lu Shuyu quickly waved her hand slightly: "No upgrade, no upgrade, just good friends are fine."

"It's fine if you don't want to upgrade. Tell me what's the matter."

"Oh, so I said..."

Lu Shuyu clenched her hands and looked over nervously.

"Lu Chen, can you please stop making good friends... Ah, in return, I won't make good friends anymore."

"From now on, you are my only good friend, and I am your only good friend..."

"Is it okay..."

......

......

As the saying goes, alcohol and cigarettes are the best social tools.

A glass of wine or a cigarette can make two complete strangers become friends within a minute.

Although no one present today smoked, most of them, except Zhou Yan, drank a little, so it didn't take long for the atmosphere to heat up.

After all, we are all of the same age and classmates, so we are sure to have common topics.

After a few drinks, Gao Jiayi, who is from Jiangsu and is usually quiet, performed a Tianjin quick-talk on the spot. She spoke Tianjin dialect in a very attractive way, and no one knew who she learned it from.

Sun Chao also temporarily put aside his wife Fulilian and chatted and laughed with Liu Lu, and the words "I am a rich second generation" made the latter laugh out loud.

Wang Tianyu was even more addicted to public speaking. He drank while reminiscing about his college days, from the class autumn outing last semester to Lu Chen pursuing Zhou Yan in his sophomore year.

Bringing up this matter in front of the two parties involved will more or less involve some of it.

But Lu Chen and Zhou Yan didn't react much when they heard this.

Lu Chen had let it go a long time ago anyway, and Zhou Yan probably thought that this might awaken Lu Chen's "good memories" of her.

In short, neither of them stopped him and just ate calmly.

However, Lu Shuyu, who had nothing to do with it, was a little unhappy.

"Lu Chen, I don't like Wang Tianyu."

After taking a small bite of the eight-treasure winter melon soup, she hummed and expressed her opinion to Lu Chen: "You were right not to be good friends with him."

"He's actually a nice guy, he just drank too much today."

Lu Chen glanced at Wang Tianyu and said, "I almost got into a fight with a few boys from the accounting major on the basketball court. Everyone else was trying to stop the fight, but he and Sun Chao wanted to help me fight."

"Really? Then I don't hate him anymore."

The rich young woman was stunned and immediately changed her attitude. At the same time, she took out a small notebook from somewhere.

"Lu Chen, what are the names of those boys?"

"..."

Oh boy, Death Note, huh?

"forget."

It was normal to have conflicts while playing basketball. Lu Chen certainly would not use Lu Shuyu to settle these old scores. He waved his hand and stood up.

"I'm going to use the bathroom."

"Oh......"

Lu Shuyu silently put the notebook back into her bag and lowered her head to continue working on the Eight Treasure Winter Melon Soup.

Shortly after Lu Chen left, Zhou Yan also pretended to answer a phone call and stood up and walked out of the private room.

She walked quickly to the bathroom at the end of the corridor, adjusted her skirt and hair, and waited silently.

After a while, Lu Chen came out with his hands swinging.

"What's wrong? There's a queue for the ladies' room?"

After taking a look at Zhou Yan, Lu Chen was not too surprised.

Zhou Yan shook her head and said directly: "Lu Chen, I want to talk to you."

"Why can't we talk about it at any time? Do we have to chat next to the toilet?"

"I don't want to, but I feel like you've been avoiding me."

"No, you are overthinking."

Lu Chen walked to a window facing the street and looked back at Zhou Yan who had followed him: "So what do you want to say?"

"I just wanted to ask you..."

Zhou Yan's expression was very serious: "Lu Chen, are we friends?"

Chapter 70 The truth finally revealed

Friends?

"That's it."

Looking at Zhou Yan, Lu Chen's definition of "friend" was not as strict as Lu Shuyu's, and he nodded indifferently.

Zhou Yan continued to ask: "Then did I do something wrong to make you hate me so much?"

"When did I ever say I hate you?" Lu Chen frowned.

"You didn't say it, but I could feel it."

Zhou Yan bit her lip, her tone a little aggrieved: "Is it because you pursued me before and I didn't agree to you?"

"Or is it because I drank with Senior Huang that day, you think I am a person who does not respect myself?"

"No, why do you have to say that I hate you?"

Lu Chen was a little impatient: "If I really didn't consider you a friend, why did I help you that day?"

"I......"

Zhou Yan was suddenly stunned, staring at Lu Chen blankly. After a long while, she lowered her head and apologized softly:

"Lu Chen, I'm sorry. Maybe it's because you've suddenly become so outstanding that I regret not agreeing to your request at that time. So I think too much about it."

"..."

Ok?

No, isn't it so frank?

After a moment of hesitation, Lu Chen was completely confused by this apology.

Zhou Yan shook her head bitterly and continued with some self-mockery:

"Lu Chen, don't be surprised. It makes me feel better after I tell you about it."

"My family is not well off, so I have always been strong-willed since I was young. I can endure a lot to achieve my goals."

"But I'm really not a girl without bottom line."

"I know Huang Hao likes me, but he really helped me with my internship, so I invited him to dinner."

"Although I'm allergic to alcohol, I've occasionally drunk a little before, and I thought I wouldn't get drunk if I drank less... Anyway, I really didn't think of exchanging my body for anything!"

"Many boys have pursued me during my four years in college, including many rich second-generations. If I really wanted to do this, I wouldn't even need to go to Xingyue for an internship now!"

The voice became louder and louder, and the tone became more and more urgent... Her long eyelashes kept trembling, and Zhou Yan was a little out of control for a moment.

Lu Chen looked at her silently and did not doubt her words.

After all, everyone in the class knew that Zhou Yan had never been in a relationship in her four years of college.

To be fair, with Zhou Yan's looks, if she only uses "money" as the criterion for choosing a boyfriend, then it should be easy for her to find a rich second-generation guy like Sun Chao.

Even as she said herself, she doesn't even need to look for one, there will be many good boys pursuing her.

This does not include those extremely wealthy "old men".

Being able to resist these temptations means that Zhou Yan has a bottom line for herself and her boyfriend.

Therefore, naturally, they would not sell their bodies just for an internship opportunity.

Of course, although Lu Chen believed that Zhou Yan was not lying, he did not really think that the latter was a naive person.

She knew that Huang Hao liked her, but she didn't reject him explicitly. Instead, she used this to gain benefits for herself, and in the end, she didn't want to pay the price...

To be honest, from a certain perspective, this is even worse than being a "gold digger".

At least after a gold digger gets the benefit, he will repay you with his own actions...

"You don't have to tell me this."

Glancing at Zhou Yan, Lu Chen shook his head and said, "If you think I have any misunderstandings about your character, then I can tell you clearly now that I believe you have a bottom line."

"......Thanks."

Zhou Yan was stunned for a moment, and her eyes gradually changed from anxious to calm.

The window was open, cars were moving on the road, there was little wind tonight, the hot and sticky air seemed like it was going to rain.

Looking at the scene outside the window, neither of them spoke for a while.

Lu Chen didn't care what kind of person Zhou Yan was. The reason he listened to her patiently was actually because he just wanted to "break up" with her as soon as possible.

And now that Zhou Yan has admitted that she really regrets it, then...

"I have a girlfriend. I told you that a long time ago."

After a moment of silence, Lu Chen spoke first, his tone calm: "But even if I'm not in a relationship now, it's definitely impossible for us."

"Actually, you don't have to regret it, because I'm not as good as you think."

"To tell you the truth, the reason why I was able to intern at Xingyue and get the treatment of a formal employee has nothing to do with my ability. It's all because of Lu Shuyu's help."

"I am no different from my sophomore year. I am still a person who doesn't strive for progress and just wants to get by."
