Chapter 806: Chapter 287: Reunion with Tao Min After a Long Separation (2)
Later, every time she saw the icon of "handsome since one" lit up, she felt the urge to chat with him. She resisted for a long time, but finally couldn’t help sending a message to Su Zelin during the New Year, and from then on, it was unstoppable.
She had to admit, although this guy was very dangerous and could easily make women become his love captives, chatting with him was always enjoyable. Even in her most troubled times, he could make her laugh, so she really liked this feeling. When Su Zelin said he was coming to Shenghai, Tao Min’s inner anticipation grew over the past few days.
Thinking this, Tao Min laughed and said, "Just kidding, look how nervous you are! I don’t plan on finding a boyfriend now; I’ll leave it to fate. It will come naturally when the time is right!"
The two chatted and laughed in the restaurant, the atmosphere relaxed and pleasant, as if they were back in their University days.
After finishing the meal, Tao Min went to the front desk to pay the bill but was told it had already been paid. She immediately guessed it was Su Zelin who went to the restroom earlier and settled it.
"Junior, didn’t we agree that I would treat for this meal? Why rush to pay? Even though my salary is not high, I can still afford to treat you to a meal!"
Tao Min pretended to be angry.
"Haha, it doesn’t matter who pays. I haven’t seen you for a long time, and I’m happy. Besides, I don’t have the habit of letting ladies pay for meals."
Su Zelin smiled.
"Alright, I know you’re a rich guy now."
Tao Min was a bit helpless, as this junior was indeed tall, rich, and handsome. Even when at school, he was wealthy and often treated her and her roommates to meals.
Of course, while she pretended to complain, Tao Min actually enjoyed this gentlemanly behavior.
Walking out of the restaurant, the sky had just darkened, and it was still early.
There was a park nearby, so the two went for a stroll, then found a quiet bar, enjoyed some soothing light music, and drank some fruit tea drinks. Before they knew it, it was close to ten o’clock.
Tao Min had to work as usual in the morning, and Su Zelin didn’t want to keep her out too late, so he took her home.
Tao Min’s work didn’t provide a dormitory, but there was rental allowance. Her place was in an apartment building near her workplace, not far from the bar, and soon they arrived at the entrance.
The Passat stopped, but Tao Min didn’t get out of the car. Instead, she tentatively asked, "Junior, do you want to come up and sit for a while?"
It’s already late at night, and Senior Sister Tao invites me to her apartment now. What does it mean for a man and a woman to be alone together?
Moreover, she doesn’t have a boyfriend and is still single.
Su Zelin couldn’t help but let his imagination run wild.
"Don’t get it wrong. I’m sharing with another roommate."
Seeing his mischievous thoughts, Tao Min replied in a displeased tone.
Ah, it was a misunderstanding!
Su Zelin felt a bit embarrassed and quickly changed the subject, "Senior Sister Tao, since your roommate is there too, it’s probably not convenient for me to come uninvited, right?"
"It’s fine. She’s a colleague from my job, and we graduated the same year. We all have personalities that get along well, and we’re quite familiar."
Tao Min laughed, "She just asked me earlier where I went for fun. I said there’s a handsome guy coming from Lin’an to see me, a former University heartthrob. That woman is a romantic at heart; as soon as she heard, she got interested and insisted I bring you up to let her see, to verify if you’re really that handsome!"
"Well then, since that’s the case, I will respectfully accept the invitation!"
Su Zelin also wanted to see what Tao Min’s place was like, so he didn’t refuse and drove straight through the gate, as Tao Min mentioned there was a shared underground parking lot in the community, though it required a fee.
They found an empty space in the parking lot, and while heading towards the elevator, Su Zelin observed that there were quite a few good cars, including BBA—still not as common as in future years, implying the owners must be wealthy.
It seemed this apartment building was of high quality. Tao Min was someone who valued the quality of life and wouldn’t let herself be too constrained.
They took the elevator to the fifth floor. As soon as they entered, they saw a girl of about the same age as Tao Min, who must be her roommate.
Standing about 5 foot 1, she had a petite and delicate figure, looked decent, but was somewhat less attractive compared to Tao Min.
"Wow, Minmin, is this your school’s heartthrob? He is really a handsome guy!"
Upon seeing Su Zelin, the female roommate exaggeratedly covered her face and screamed.
"See, I told you she’s a romantic!"
Tao Min had expected her roommate’s reaction.
Usually, whenever she sees a slightly handsome guy on the street, she would take a few more glances, eager to chat. Encountering someone like Su Zelin would make her drool.
"He’s my junior from the University, Su Zelin!"
"Gan Ting, my colleague, from Jinling University of Finance and Economics."
Tao Min gave a simple introduction of the two.
"Hi, Senior Sister Gan, hope I’m not bothering you by showing up uninvited!"
Su Zelin greeted Gan Ting warmly.
Since she was from the same year as Tao Min, she was technically his senior.
"Not only handsome but with a sweet mouth too!"
Gan Ting was quite pleased.
"No wonder Tao Min likes you. I’ve never seen this woman go on a date with any man before."
"What are you talking about!"
Tao Min blushed and started chasing her roommate around.
"Did I say anything wrong? No wonder you don’t fancy other men; you already had a heartthrob in mind!"
Gan Ting had an active personality, liked joking around, and spoke freely.
The two ladies playfully chased each other for a while but then Tao Min remembered and went to pour a glass of water for Su Zelin, "She’s just babbling nonsense, Junior, don’t take it to heart!"
