It was still drizzling outside the window. But as Leon watched Michelle shake her head, it suddenly felt as if the sky was sunny.
Needless to say, he knew that she was referring to him as her date even though they weren't even in a relationship at the moment.
He wasn't the type of man who knew nothing about love and romance. Of course, he understood what being a date meant.
The atmosphere over them felt vague. It made him feel even more awkward and out of place in the process. But he soon snapped out of it upon meeting Michelle's eyes.
It caught him off guard a bit, and so he narrowed his eyes at her. It seemed like he had misunderstood her just now. Apparently, she had no idea what being a date really meant.
"Michelle, are you referring to me?" Leon cleared his throat and pointed at himself. "Do you even know what a date means?"
"Of course, I know." Michelle smiled sweetly at him and then turned her attention back on her roommates on the other end of the phone. "I'll be bringing Leon with me on that day."
Her eyes were clear as spring water as she said this. It seemed like she really didn't know what a date meant.
Leon fell silent at that. If she really wanted him to come along, then he would go with her.
But upon hearing how Michelle was planning to bring Michelle with her, her roommates began complaining. Debra said that she also wanted to bring a brother along even though she didn't even have one in the first place. Instead, she would bring along a male classmate whom she was friends with and would treat him like a brother.
Coincidentally, the male classmate she was referring to was staying in the same dormitory as Austin and Aron. Lydia came up with an idea to ask them to join them too. Of course, Michelle agreed with her proposal.
After all, she was already in good terms with Austin. Likewise, she was already quite familiar with Aron.
Once everyone agreed with the proposal, Lydia went to Austin to invite him over. He and his friends immediately accepted the invitation, and the entire matter was settled.
Michelle cheerfully hung up on the phone. Whenever she was in a good mood, her appetite would naturally increase as well. She picked up the chopsticks and began to eat again.
But her phone kept vibrating. It was her WeChat notifying her that someone had requested to be her friend.
She opened the WeChat app and saw 49 friend requests. Her eyes widened when she realized that the number of friend requests was still increasing.
"Why do I have so many friend requests?" Swallowing the braised pork in one gulp, she handed her phone to Leon and asked, "What should I do?"
"Just ignore them." Leon accepted her phone and saw that the number of her friend requests was already reaching over a hundred. This number dazzled him to the point where he decided to just mute the app.
"Okay." Michelle nodded in confusion.
Wynn said, "You don't have to worry about it. Do you remember the three conditions that Leon mentioned just now? Your roommate didn't promise them that you would accept all their friend requests."
Upon hearing this, Michelle finally understood. "Oh yes! Leon is so smart!"
"He isn't just smart. He's cunning. Your roommates didn't guarantee that you'd accept their friend requests. Also, they didn't reveal your phone number. As long as you don't accept their friend requests, nobody can harass you. On top of that, your roommate can take the red packets." Wynn then looked at Leon, who sat beside Michelle. There was no trace of guilt in his eyes. "A cunning fox indeed," Wynn muttered in a low voice.
Leon didn't seem to mind it at all. He merely raised his eyebrows and smiled, as if he was quite proud of himself. Wynn rolled his eyes.
He then turned to Michelle and said, "Michelle, I'm curious about just how much your WeChat number is worth. I'll probably sell it one day if I no longer have enough money."
