Chapter 85: Chapter 85: The Beauty

You Yu led Bai Tang and the disgruntled Zhang Xiaochu through the formalities. By the time they finished, it was already noon. You Yu smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, how about grabbing lunch together?" Zhang Xiaochu was quite annoyed by You Yu's address for Bai Tang and couldn't help correcting him: "Don't call her that randomly! She's my girlfriend!" You Yu paused, his gaze landing on Zhang Xiaochu with a hint of teasing. Having just joined the team, You Yu still had some protective feelings toward newcomers. He raised a hand and gently patted Zhang Xiaochu on the shoulder, speaking earnestly: "Kid, isn't living good enough?" Zhang Xiaochu snorted and pushed his hand off his shoulder. Bai Tang ignored the chuunibyou Zhang Xiaochu and asked You Yu, "Will your boss be joining?" You Yu nodded. "Of course!" "Then let's go!" With that, she was already walking ahead. Zhang Xiaochu followed reluctantly. "I'll treat you to a big meal!" "No, I'm going to find my beauty and have lunch together!" Bai Tang said cheerfully. Zhang Xiaochu snorted, knowing he couldn't stop her, so he had to tag along. Originally, Zhang Xiaochu thought they'd go to a restaurant outside for lunch, but instead, they headed straight to the employee cafeteria. Carrying his tray, Zhang Xiaochu spotted someone already squeezing in next to Sheng Qi. Despite his disdain, he hurried over, shoving You Yu aside to sit beside Bai Tang. "Beauty, want some of my tofu?" Bai Tang smiled and picked up a piece of tofu from her tray, placing it in Sheng Qi's. Everyone: "..." Such an ambiguous remark! Sheng Qi expressionlessly used his chopsticks to push the tofu aside. Bai Tang: "..." "Beauty, don't you know every grain is hard work? Wasting is shameful!" Sheng Qi glanced at the tofu beside him, took a deep breath, and finally picked it up with his chopsticks, putting it in his mouth. Bai Tang smiled in satisfaction. Then she continued adding tofu to Sheng Qi's tray. Sheng Qi: "..." Taking another deep breath, he stared coldly at her, but she just grinned brightly and said, "Eat up." Sheng Qi tightened his grip on his chopsticks, his lips pressed together. After a moment, he looked away and quietly ate. The onlookers watched in shock. Zhang Xiaochu was thoroughly displeased with Bai Tang's behavior and shoved his tray in front of her. "I want to eat your tofu too!" "Scram!" Bai Tang was curt. Zhang Xiaochu: "..." Damn it!!! He reached out, grabbed Bai Tang's tray, and dumped the remaining half of her tofu onto his own. Everyone: "..." Kid, you're bold! Fighting the boss over a woman—have you picked out your grave yet? "Since you don't like tofu, I'll eat it all for you!" Zhang Xiaochu set the tray down, finally feeling pleased. Bai Tang didn't bother with him and turned to look at Sheng Qi, only to see him pushing the tofu aside again. "Beauty—" "I'm full!" Sheng Qi stood up, picked up his tray, and left. Bai Tang's mouth hung open, her words unfinished as Sheng Qi walked away. Staring at his distinctly chilly back, Bai Tang turned and glared at the chuunibyou kid beside her. "Zhang Xiaochu, I'm challenging you to a one-on-one fight!" Zhang Xiaochu, who had been about to put a piece of tofu in his mouth, let it drop onto his tray. He mechanically turned his head to look at the fierce girl, putting on a fawning, ingratiating smile. "Tangtang, sweetie..." "Don't call me Tangtang!" Bai Tang snorted, eyeing him darkly and grinding her teeth. "Eat up properly. When you're full, we're having a one-on-one!" Zhang Xiaochu nervously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, telling himself that as a school bully, he had to be tough!
