My Online Cloud Girlfriend - Chapter 34
Chapter 34: Eat
(Thank god, there’s no school friday. So happy )
Even if he spends money on these girls, there is no opportunity for a cash back. But now Chen Yan, who has a huge amount of money in his hand, ordered six or seven dishes without hesitation.
While waiting for their meals, a few of them started chatting casually.
The soul of Yu Qiaoqiao’s dormitory was the first to speak: Yang Nuan.
Yang Nuan looked more mature and lovely wearing a simple shirt, a small skirt, and narrow-rim glasses on the bridge of her nose.
While waiting for the waiter, Yang Nuan pushed her glasses back and said to Chen Yan, “Chen Yan, you called us out today because you had something to talk about, right?.”
Chen Yan smiled and poured water to the girls cups one by one, and then replied, “Yes. I have something to talk to you about.”
After pouring the water, Chen Yan put the pitcher on the table and continued, “I believe you already know. I like Qiaoqiao very much and want to pursue her.”
Chen Yan addressed the “process” of falling in love with Yu Qiaoqiao after confirming the matter at hand.
The scenario Chen Yan provided went like this;
He read a comic book and found that the heroine of the comic is very beautiful and has a very gentle personality.
After reading it, he went downstairs to buy instant noodles and ran into Yu Qiaoqiao.
He was surprised to find that she looked exactly the same as the heroine in the comic he read.
Thinking this was a fateful meeting, Chen Yan took the initiative to help Yu Qiaoqiao get around, and got to spend more time with her this way.
The next day…Chen Yan tried to pry on Yu Qiaoqiao’s life, only to find that Yu Qiaoqiao was a very beautiful and kind girl, and she would give him new surprises every day.
It made him understand that there are truly special and lovely girls in the world, and it involuntarily stirred his heart.
When talking about the first half, Chen Yan was still smiling, but as he talked about the process of familiarizing himself with Yu Qiaoqiao, he gradually “entered into the play”.
Thinking of the surprises Yu Qiaoqiao had brought to him these days, the corners of his mouth consciously conjure a gentle smile.
When seeing him like that, the girls looked at each other and nodded slightly.
He wasn’t deceiving them as it can be clearly seen in his eyes.
The girls confirmed Chen Yan’s “intention”, and the basis for the two parties’ conversation was also established.
What’s more, Yang Nuan’s tone towards Chen Yan also loosened a lot.
She took out the Wanbao fountain pen from her pocket, put it on the table, and said, “Then how about this, surely, you can explain, right?.”
Long before he came to meet them, Chen Yan had prepared a plan.
Seeing Yang Nuan and the others take out their pens, Chen Yan quickly shifted his expression from loving Yu Qiaoqiao’s “sweetness” to an appropriate “embarrassment” on his face.
He lowered his head and said, “Oh, you found it.”
“Then I won’t hide it from you.”
“Actually…I am a rich second-generation man.”
After learning that Chen Yan had spent a lot of money on them last night, the girls had guessed this earlier, so they were not surprised.
Then Chen Yan went on to say, “Although I come from a rich family, I am only the second-generation son..”
Then, he told his story that was partially true.
Generally speaking, his family has money, and his parents have no expectations for their children. Though their only hope is that Chen Yan can inherit the family property and collect rent from the residents.
But Chen Yan didn’t want to be a landlord, instead he wanted to play games. More specifically, he wanted to make Chinese games.
Therefore, his desire of creating games conflicted with his parents ideal future for him.
However, when he met Yu Qiaoqiao, he didn’t know how to express his feelings, so he could only spend money awkwardly.
After annoying Yu Qiaoqiao, he couldn’t help but quickly find a way to remedy it.
As for the gifts to Yang Nuan and the others, Chen Yan read an online guide suggesting that while in pursuit of a girl, you must first get her friends on your side. Thus, that is the reason he bought those pens.
After hearing what Chen Yan said, the girls glanced at each other.
They felt that Chen Yan’s true feelings about “conceptual conflict”, and “trying to remedy it”, made them understand that he wasn’t the type of person to cheat.
This also altered their attitude toward Chen Yan.
Yang Nuan looked at him with a serious look and said gently, “Chen Yan, we understand your intentions. Don’t worry, as long as you are good to Qiaoqiao, we will support you.”
“As for whether Qiaoqiao falls in love, it depends on you.”
She paused, looked at the others, and said, “We only hope that if Qiaoqiao does like you too, then you must treat her well.”
“If she doesn’t like you, please leave quietly and don’t disturb her. She’s suffered enough.”
Chen Yan nodded solemnly, “Don’t worry. I will.”
Hearing his response, Yang Nuan nodded, and then extended her hand to the three little ones.
The three little ones cleverly took out their pens and put them into Yang Nuan’s hands one by one.
Zhao Ying also put her pen on the table.
After doing so, Yang Nuan handed the pens to Chen Yan, and said, “But we will not accept the gifts. These are really expensive.”
“The best gift for us would be that you continue to be nice to Qiaoqiao, and be happy with her.”
Chen Yan looked at Yang Nuan and remarked, “Just accept the stuff.”
Seeing that Yang Nuan wanted to refuse again, Chen Yan added in a serious tone.
“First of all, this money is nothing to me.”
“Secondly, I am a Game Designer. Even if these pens are returned to me, I won’t be able to use them.”
“Once again, I gave this gift to Qiaoqiao, and Qiaoqiao distributed it to you. If you want to return it, you should give it back to her.”
“My final reason is that I wanted to give you a gift for taking care of Qiaoqiao all these years.”
“In addition…I actually have other things I want to ask you for help, so this gift is considered a thank you.”
The two parties then had a heated dispute regarding whether or not to accept the gift.
This debate lasted more than ten minutes and ended with Chen Yan prevailing.
Because Chen Yan would use Yu Qiaoqiao as a shield at every key moment: ‘I gave these to Qiaoqiao to distribute to her friends, and you must return it to her if you don’t want the gifts.’
Yang Nuan felt angry every time he made such an argument, wishing to throw the rogue Chen Yan.
It’s just that whenever she was annoyed by him, Chen Yan would quickly pour her a drink of water and apologize profusely, preventing her from becoming angry.
So after a few rounds of debating, Yang Nuan gave up.
With that finished, once again there was a unified consensus on the key issue, and the atmosphere on the table became more harmonious.
At this time, the dishes also began to arrive.
Soon, everyone was eating and chatting with happy smiles on their faces.
Then Yang Nuan and the others were confused as to what Chen Yan meant when he said he needed their help.
