Chapter 294 Diligence
School had started for a while, and Xu Mingyuan would occasionally go to class.

Although world history is a major that is only for getting a diploma, most of the students in the class attend classes as usual and the attendance rate is not low. There are about thirty students attending each class.

Xu Mingyuan is the only one who sometimes doesn't attend a class for a week.

Last night, Tao Shuxin asked for leave and went back home on the pretext that the dormitory was too hot. After breakfast in the morning, they went to school together.

"You have a professional class today, do you want to go?"

Tao Shuxin rummaged through the bag and threw a notebook to him.

"Professor Li's class, you can go and take a look."

Xu Mingyuan had nothing to do today, so he looked at the class schedule and saw that it was the history of world civilization, so he prepared to listen.

"Let's have lunch together at noon."

Tao Shuxin stuffed a pen into his pocket.

Xu Mingyuan responded, and the two of them waved goodbye to each other and went to their respective classrooms at the stairs.

The History of Civilization course is a large class, and students take it in the same lecture hall as those majoring in history. Xu Mingyuan prefers to take this kind of class. Professors who can teach such large classes are more or less capable.

Xu Mingyuan arrived on time and was seen by his classmates, who greeted him.

Xu Mingyuan often came to teach large classes, and most of the students in the history department were familiar with him.

Xu Mingyuan is not a star, and most people are very busy. When they talk about him, they just praise him as awesome, and when they see him, they just glance at him and then continue to do their own things.

Of course, it is not ruled out that there are girls who want to get to know Xu Mingyuan privately, but they were all blocked by Tao Shuxin.

Occasionally, there were bold girls who would tag him in the grade group and want to add him as their QQ friend, and Tao Shuxin was the one who handled it.

Once Tao Shuxin adds someone as a friend, he will reveal his identity, seemingly casually, but in a sarcastic tone, and then ignore him.

With Tao Shuxin's unremitting efforts, such incidents are becoming less and less common. After all, only a few girls are so bold as to want to steal a guy's boyfriend. Once the stock is used up, it will be difficult to replenish it.

Unless there is a purpose, like Su Muqing.

In fact, Xu Mingyuan admired her very much. He had already made it clear that he did not want to have too much contact with her and had even made sarcastic remarks about her before.

But after the incident, Su Muqing continued to get along with Tao Shuxin day after day, hoping to use this as a breakthrough to establish a network of relationships with him.

But Tao Shuxin couldn't resist the sugar-coated bullet after all. She was so overwhelmed by the praise that she softened her ears and agreed to help speak.

noon.

Tao Shuxin made an appointment with Su Muqing and took Xu Mingyuan with her to get into her big red BMW 3 Series.

Xu Mingyuan consciously sat in the back seat, and as soon as he got in the car, he sneezed at the strong rose-scented car perfume.

"Xu Mingyuan, long time no see. Why didn't you go to the music club to learn songs this semester?"

Su Muqing chatted with Tao Shuxin for a few words and greeted her during a break in the topic.

"I've been very busy lately and I haven't attended many classes." Xu Mingyuan said casually.

"Is that so? We can still go with Tao Tao when we have time together in the future."

Su Muqing glanced at the rearview mirror inside the car and smiled at him as a greeting.

"Ah."

Xu Mingyuan nodded.

"Senior, can I drive your car?"

Seeing the exquisitely decorated interior of the car, Tao Shuxin asked with shining eyes.

"Sure, I just happen to be staying on campus for a while. If you like, I'll leave the key with you, but remember to cheer me up." Su Muqing said with a smile.

"This is not a good idea, I just want to try it." Tao Shuxin rubbed his hands and said.

"It's okay. There's no point leaving the car there. It's not good for the car if it's parked for a long time. Just help me fill up the gas. I'll contact you when I need it."

Su Muqing opened the passenger door and helped Tao Shuxin open it while she was still hesitating.

"Hmm...thank you, but forget it. I just want to try something different."

Tao Shuxin simply wanted to try it, so she shook her head and declined.

"It's up to you. If you want to drive, just call me and tell me. It's very busy at the beginning of the senior year. I'm usually on campus. If I'm not, there's nothing I can do. Taotao, do you think the seat is suitable for you? Can you adjust it?"

Su Muqing sat in the passenger seat and tilted her head to speak to Tao Shuxin.

"It's OK. It's a little bit to the back, so it doesn't need to be adjusted."

"Let's adjust it. It's not difficult. Once the habit is broken, it's easy to bump into other cars. Although I'm going to change my car, it's still a bit troublesome to bump into others. The rearview mirror is in this position. What do you think?"

As Su Muqing spoke, she adjusted the rearview mirror to a position where she could see Tao Shuxin's seat.

"Thank you, senior sister."

Tao Shuxin happily adjusted her seat, saw Xu Mingyuan in the rearview mirror, and shook her head at him proudly.

Xu Mingyuan sneered and ignored her.

Su Muqing is still good at it. Xu Mingyuan had told Tao Shuxin in advance that she came here deliberately to get close to you, a silly girl.

But Su Muqing has a high EQ and speaks nicely. Apart from being a little immature, her overall performance is much better than Xu Mingyuan, not to mention the silly Tao Shuxin.

Su Muqing does things properly, and doesn't give people the awkward feeling of being too attentive for no reason. It's as if she is showing concern and friendliness inadvertently.

Tao Shuxin was on guard and understood the trick, but ultimately he was unable to withstand Su Muqing's attack.

Besides, Su Muqing did not hide anything and just said directly that she wanted to discuss something with Xu Mingyuan. Tao Shuxin was shy and had not learned how to refuse.

It would just take up the lunch time, at most two hours, and he could also find an excuse to leave early because of afternoon classes. Tao Shuxin thought it was no big deal, so he called Xu Mingyuan out.

In fact, Xu Mingyuan didn't hate Su Muqing. On the contrary, he admired her very much. He had always been unwilling to pay attention to her because he just thought she was a bit troublesome.

After all, Su Muqing was not of much help to Xu Mingyuan, and he had to spend energy to help her. How could he have so much leisure time to deal with these trivial matters? "Turn right ahead, um, after passing an intersection, it's not far ahead."

Leaving the school from the remote south gate, Su Muqing did not mind Tao Shuxin driving at a snail's pace and patiently pointed out the road conditions.

It took more than ten minutes to get out of the school gate and the car stopped at a corner of the road.

Tao Shuxin looked up at the sign and asked curiously, "Bobo Chicken? Senior, what is this?"

"Oh, it's almost like fried skewers."

"Want some fried skewers? They're a bit too hot."

Tao Shuxin looked embarrassed. How could she eat fried skewers in the middle of the day? But she hadn't eaten them for a long time and she really wanted to eat them.

"It's not fried skewers, it's cold boiled skewers, and they taste very good."

With Su Muqing's emotional intelligence, how could she not have considered this detail, and she had already figured out what kind of food Tao Shuxin liked.

"There are also cold ones, Brother Xiaoyuan, have you tried them?" Tao Shuxin asked.

"No." Xu Mingyuan said perfunctorily.

"Let's go try it, shall we? Thank you, Senior, for bringing me here to eat something delicious."

Tao Shuxin seemed to be asking, but in fact, she had already made a decision.

"You're welcome. This restaurant is just too far from the university gate. Even though there are few people at noon, it is very busy at night and on weekends. You have to queue up if you want to eat there."

"Is it?"

"Yes, I happened to pass by and saw the queue at this store. I will make a note of stores like this and try them sometime in the future. The taste must be good." Su Muqing said.

"Wow, you are so understanding, Senior."

“Who doesn’t like to eat?”

"Hey, I love eating it the most."

Tao Shuxin nodded in agreement, as if he had found a soulmate.

Xu Mingyuan listened to their casual conversation, then followed them to a table in the corner, pulled out a stool and sat down inside.

"Taotao, what do you like to eat?"

"Hmm... I don't know. Senior, you should order it."

"Xu Mingyuan, what about you?"

Half an hour passed and Su Muqing finally remembered Xu Mingyuan.

"Senior Su, you've been here before, haven't you? Just keep an eye on it."

Xu Mingyuan glanced at the menu and pushed it across.

"Well, okay, do you have any dietary restrictions?"

Su Muqing held the menu in one hand and raised her eyes to ask.

"I don't like coriander and celery, so he doesn't need to ask. Xu Mingyuan is not picky about food." Tao Shuxin said.

"I rarely eat cilantro, but it's acceptable as a seasoning."

"Me too, Senior, you and I are alike."

"Hehe, a lot of girls are like this. Can you eat spicy food?"

"Yeah, I really like spicy food."

Tao Shuxin kept nodding.

Su Muqing didn't waste too much time. After asking about the two people's tastes, she said to the waiter, "Ten skewers of chicken, ten skewers of duck intestines, and five skewers of fish balls and fish tofu. What dish do you order the most?"

"Meat dishes like baby squid, beef, and tripe are all good, and vegetarian dishes like mushrooms and kelp are popular with many people."

"Let's start with five skewers each, a plate of your specialty taro balls, um... and some crispy okra, and a can of freshly squeezed watermelon juice." Su Muqing ordered the dishes.

People like her are similar to Xu Mingyuan. They all know that Tao Shuxin would be embarrassed to order dishes when eating out for the first time, so they just order less and let her eat for a while before she can order by herself.

Su Muqing captured Tao Shuxin's preferences very well.

After learning that Tao Shuxin had a heavy taste and liked to eat spicy strips, Su Muqing guessed that she probably liked the spicy, sweet and fragrant flavor of Bobo Chicken.

The effect was very good. Tao Shuxin's eyes lit up after eating a few skewers. When she thought something was delicious, she pulled Xu Mingyuan to try it.

It’s not that Xu Mingyuan hasn’t eaten Bobo Chicken before, but he thinks that this kind of skewers cooked in sauce is more like a casual snack, not delicious but not bad either.

But Su Muqing was in a dilemma. She had a light taste and obviously didn't like these things very much. However, she still ordered a plate of vegetarian skewers that were not soaked in sauce. She dipped them in the soup in the pot to add some base flavor, and ate them with a tasteless taste.

"Senior, can you eat like this?"

Seeing that she didn't take the skewers from the bowl to eat, Tao Shuxin asked curiously.

"Well, not bad." Su Muqing nodded.

"Really? Let me try it." Tao Shuxin reached out and took a vegetarian skewer, dipped it in the soup and took two bites, then said with a bit of disdain, "Hmm~ It doesn't taste good, Senior Sister, why do you like to eat it like this?"

"I'm worried about getting acne, Taotao. Eating too much cold meat skewers can cause stomachaches. If you want to eat more, it's okay to come back next time." Su Muqing reminded him while missing the topic.

"Thank you, Senior. I will try to eat less."

Tao Shuxin wiped her mouth and continued to hiss with her tongue.

Xu Mingyuan shook his head when he saw this. It was really hard for him. Seeing that Su Muqing was so persistent, he directly said, "Senior Su, are you free this afternoon?"

Su Muqing paused, nodded and smiled: "Yes."
