Chapter 25: Who is the Eldest Son? (To be continued)

  Han Xiaoxi's opinion was recognized by everyone, and Chen Chufan followed Ye Siying to the coffee shop to talk about music. Although Chen Chufan didn't know much about musical theory on Earth, art is universal, and having inherited an alien music civilization, Chen Chufan often had his own unique insights into music. After a conversation, Ye Siying looked at this self-proclaimed musical genius who couldn't even read sheet music with even more admiration.

  When Chen Chufan and his two girlfriends started talking about music, Yang Tao became restless. This wasn't strange for Yang Tao, a person who loved to talk but found himself in a situation where he couldn't get a word in edgewise. Yang Tao was clueless when it came to art and the like, and watching the three of them chat enthusiastically made him feel tortured. Finally seeing that it was almost five o'clock, he hastily suggested: "I think it's almost time for dinner, let's hurry up and reserve a spot! Otherwise, the restaurants outside school will be packed!"

  "Let's go!" Han Xiaoxi rubbed her slender belly, "I'm feeling a bit hungry! Chu Fan, where shall we eat?"

  "Isn't it? It's only been this long, and you're already so familiar with each other. Han Xiaohui, classmate, don't you dare to be a bit more reserved?" Before Chen Chufan could respond, Yang Tao overheard Han Xiaohui's address to Chen Chufan and exclaimed in surprise.

  "What's wrong? Are you jealous? Chen Chufan is now my boyfriend, what's wrong with me calling him Chufan? Is there a problem?" Han Xiaoxi said nonchalantly. This was Han Xiaoxi's personality, don't be fooled by her Lin Meimei-like appearance, she had always been bold and daring in love and hate.

  "You've hit the nail on the head again, I'm really jealous! Why don't you call me Second Brother to ease my jealousy?" Yang Tao, who had finally managed to interject, immediately became humble.

  "Alright, you two. Are you going to eat or not?!" Ye Siying said irritably beside them, thinking that Han Xiaohui and Yang Tao were like a couple, quarreling every day was so lively.

  "Let's go to Chuan Flavor Restaurant! The dishes there are quite good, our basketball team always has dinner gatherings there." Chen Chu Fan thought for a moment and decided.

  Then, the group walked out of the coffee shop and headed directly to the Sichuan restaurant at East Gate 2. Along the way, Yang Tao pulled Chen Chufan together and casually found a public phone booth to call their dormitory and inform Meng Wei, the leader.

  The four of them went ahead and arrived at a private room on the second floor of a Sichuan restaurant, ordered food and waited for Meng Wei's arrival.

  "Our boss Meng Wei isn't very talkative, if he's quiet later on, it doesn't mean he has an opinion about you guys, that's just how he is!" Chen Chufan warned the two girls beside him. Chen Chufan had learned from past experience, when he invited Wang Linlin to dinner with Meng Wei and Yang Tao, Meng Wei was like that too, saying less than three sentences throughout the whole meal, making Wang Linlin think Meng Wei had an opinion about her.

  "Lao San's evaluation is too kind, Lao Da is not a talkative person! He's simply a mute bell that can't be sounded no matter how hard you hit it!" Yang Tao added on the side.

  "But you have to admit, whatever the boss says is always right on point! One sentence from the boss is worth a hundred of your nonsense!" Chen Chufan bluntly exposed the essence of Yang Tao's chatter.

  As soon as Chen Chufan's voice fell, the door of the private room was pushed open, and the figure of Lao Da Meng Wei appeared in the private room.

  "What's going on today?" Yang Tao only said to call Meng Wei out for dinner over the phone, without giving a reason. So when Meng Wei arrived at the second floor private room of Chuanwei Restaurant, he saw two lovely girls sitting on either side of Chen Chufan and hesitantly asked.

  "Today our old three is in high spirits, and both beautiful women are taken into the house, so let's set up a table to celebrate!" Yang Tao replied with a sour tone.

  "Oh!" Meng Wei replied and directly found a seat to sit down.

  "This is our boss Meng Wei!" Chen Chufan introduced to the two beauties beside him: "Boss, her name is Ye Siying, she's called Han Xiaoxi, both are from the music department. Both of them can be considered my girlfriends now!" Chen Chufan introduced the two beauties beside him to Boss Meng again.

  Can't help but say, Chen Chufan is still a little proud in his heart. Whoever suddenly gets two girlfriends, both beautiful like flowers, will be a little proud.

  "Hello, boss." The two beauties gave Meng Wei a face-saving greeting.

  "Oh!" Meng Wei's expression didn't change as he nodded slightly and replied lightly: "You're all doing well too!"

  Yang Tao was greatly disappointed: "Boss, two? Are they two? In just one afternoon, San Ge got two girlfriends, don't you have anything to ask?"

  "Huh? Oh! Then who is the first wife and who is the second wife?" After being teased by Yang Tao, Meng Wei hesitated for a moment before asking seriously.

  "My god, the boss is indeed the boss, as soon as we meet, he can ask such in-depth questions! He's really impressive." Yang Tao said with his eyes wide open, "I've been talking nonsense for a long time, but the boss is still the most awesome, indeed a man who can hit the nail on the head with just one sentence!"

  Chen Chufan was somewhat disheveled, Han Xiaoxi had already been teased by Meng Wei into laughing, and even the normally reserved Ye Siyi couldn't help but reveal a slight smile.

  Meng Wei looked at Han Xiao Xi in confusion, who was laughing out loud. Was there something wrong with what he said? Or was his expression very funny? But he was clearly being serious!

  The whole private room was originally a bit awkward due to the unfamiliarity, but it became relaxed with Meng Wei's one sentence that he thought was very normal.

  No one answered Meng Wei's question after all, and the waiter had already brought up all the dishes.

  "Are you all drinking beer today?" Yang Tao looked at the two girls beside Chen Chufan.

  "Xiaosi doesn't drink alcohol, get her a bottle of juice instead. I'll keep you company for a drink!" Han Xiaoxi said generously.

  According to Han Xiaoxi's account, Yang Tao called for wine and water, and several people started. It has to be said that Han Xiaoxi really had a few drinks, a bottle of wine was poured into her delicate little belly in no time.

  Just like that, the meal was about to end, but Ye Siying suddenly remembered something and asked out of curiosity: "By the way, I heard that you had a conflict with the student union president of your grade at the entrance of the school cafeteria today, and Chen Chufan even hit him. What's going on?"

  In the afternoon, at the library, she was shocked by Chen Chufan, who was the boy in the music room, and forgot to mention it. At the coffee shop, she was first immersed in Chen Chufan's performance, then her mind was confused by Han Xiaoxi's wild ideas, and finally they started talking about music again, all of which made her almost forget about this matter, until she saw several people drinking, Ye Siying suddenly remembered it and asked directly. Because the more she thought Chen Chufan was excellent, the more she felt that she should figure out what the situation was. After all, this boy would be her best friend's boyfriend in the future, and she didn't want to have any misunderstandings about him.

  "Eh, right! I forgot to ask, our Xiaosi is really thoughtful. So what was the situation back then?" Han Xiao Xi's curiosity was also piqued, and she chimed in.

  "This thing! It's that little brat who deserves a beating. If I were Lao San, I'd beat that bastard to death!" Yang Tao heard Ye Siying mention Zhang Peng and immediately became furious, quickly telling the two girls about what happened at noon in detail.

  "Do you know why Zhang Peng always targets our family's Lao San? It's because our family's Lao San got a first-class scholarship and took his spot! Even with connections, they can't beat our family's Lao San, and he resorts to underhanded tactics to annoy people. You guys say this kind of person isn't asking for a beating?" Yang Tao concluded.

  "Ah, there are still such disgusting boys in school! I said Chufan, why did you only slap him three times? If it were me, I would have kicked him to pieces!" Han Xiaoxi, who had just finished drinking, exclaimed with her hands waving and teeth bared.

  Yeh Si-yue, who had always been gentle in nature, nodded her head unconsciously after listening to Yang Tao's explanation, acknowledging Han Xiao-xi's words. It seemed that she had misunderstood the boy after all, Yeh Si-yue thought to herself.

  "Alright, it's all in the past, let's not mention it again!" Chen Chufan thought of his own difficulties that had yet to pass and couldn't help but feel a bit down. "We've eaten enough, why don't we just pay the bill and head back?"

  "Come on, have another drink! It's not often that we're happy today!" Chen Chufan's companion, Han Xiaoxi, was the first to express her dissatisfaction. She didn't know how Han's small belly could hold so much liquor - two bottles of beer had already been consumed, yet she showed no signs of intoxication, making one wonder where all the alcohol had gone.

  "Alright, it's getting late for Han Xiaoxi too, time to head back to the dorm. It's almost time for you to call home!" Ye Siyi hastily advised beside her, knowing that if Han Xiaoxi got drunk and went back, she would make a ruckus all night.

  It's true that Han Xiaoxi's home is in WH City, and it's not far from Zhongbei University either. By car, it would take about an hour. Originally, her family wanted her to go back home every day, but Han Xiaoxi thought it was too much trouble and also wanted to experience a normal university life, so she firmly disagreed with her family's decision. Under duress, Han Xiaoxi's parents agreed to let her live on campus, but every night she had to call home before 10 pm from the dormitory.

  "Ah, it's that late already? Alright, let's head back then! Let's settle the bill and leave." Han Xiao Xi glanced at her watch and surprisingly it was almost 10 o'clock, she said helplessly.

  As soon as they came out of the coffee shop, Yang Tao secretly handed Chen Chufan 500 yuan. Chen Chufan had wanted that much, but Yang Tao's one sentence: "Borrowed money must be repaid!" shut down all of Chen Chufan's words.

  With Yang Tao's borrowed money, they bought a single row of five tickets and walked out of the restaurant.

  "My god, what's going on? Enemies meet on a narrow road!" As soon as Yang Tao walked out the door, he let out an exclamation of surprise. He saw Zhang Peng walking up the stairs to the second floor VIP room with a boy and two girls. Zhang Peng was turning his head to talk to the boy beside him. The two girls following behind Zhang Peng were both familiar to Chen Chufan - one was his ex-girlfriend Wang Linlin, and the other was Wang Linlin's roommate Ma Xiaoxiao.

  Originally, Zhang Peng had made plans with Wang Kun to have dinner together at noon, but it was true. However, after being hit by Chen Chufan, his mother gave him a hot compress on his face for the entire afternoon until dinner time and didn't let him go out. So he changed plans with Wang Kun to have a midnight snack instead, coincidentally choosing this Sichuan restaurant, and that's how the two groups met.

  Yang Tao's voice interrupted Zhang Peng's chat with the boy next to him. Zhang Peng looked up and was surprised to see Chen Chufan, his face changed as he exclaimed: "How is it you guys?"
