Su Tang did not refuse this time.
Under the waiter’s surprised gaze, she took out her phone and placed it in front of him, allowing him to add her contact number to his phone.
After he finished operating, Su Tang reached out and took the cell phone. She smiled and waved at him. “Goodbye, Mr. Doe.”
With that, she turned around and left without looking at the gloomy man.
After leaving the cafeteria, Shi Man called. When she heard that Su Tang had left safely, she heaved a sigh of relief. “I’ve already sent someone to pick you up. Find a safe place and wait. Don’t talk to strange men again.”
Su Tang agreed obediently. After hanging up, she found a nearby dessert shop and sat down to take a closer look at the surveillance screenshot Shi Man had sent.
In the video, after Su Tang said something to the anxious man, Su Tang walked around the man and walked towards the entrance of the exhibition.
However, the moment Su Tang passed by the man, the man quickly reached out and took her wallet from her open bag. Then, he pretended that he had picked it up and waited at the door for Su Tang to come out.
Actually, even without the surveillance video that Shi Man had turned on, Su Tang suspected that this man had ulterior motives.
She thought that this matter would end like this, but the next day, when Su Tang was reading alone in the library, she bumped into this man again.
He sat beside her with a history book. When he saw her, he pretended to be surprised and opened his mouth wide, his eyes filled with unconcealable joy. “Miss Su, it seems that we are indeed fated to meet in the library.”
Su Tang sneered. She would not be deceived by his flowery words, but she still nodded cooperatively. “It’s indeed quite a coincidence. 1 came to the library on a work day during the summer vacation and actually met Mr. John Doe, an elite in the workplace. How can it be a coincidence?”
The man sat opposite her awkwardly and secretly glanced at the people who were engrossed in their books. Seeing that no one noticed the commotion here, he heaved a sigh of relief and moved to her side. “Don’t call me John Doe. My name is Zhou He. You can call me Brother Zhou.”
“Oh.” Su Tang pretended to move away unintentionally and continued to bury herself in the words in the book.
Zhou He was unwilling to be lonely. He swallowed nervously and asked tentatively, “Miss Su, it’s already lunchtime. Why don’t we go to the library’s canteen for lunch?”
Su Tang hid the frustration in her eyes and lazily looked up at him. “Are you hungry?”
“I’m hungry. I rushed over to borrow books after work and haven’t had time to eat.” Zhou He blinked at Su Tang in distress and pity.
Unfortunately, he would never understand. Such actions would be very cute on a child, but on an adult man like him, it would look especially… disgusting.
Su Tang suppressed the nausea in her stomach and smiled as she put away the book. She nodded and said, “Alright, let’s go together.”
Zhou He subconsciously revealed a look of joy. He thought to himself that Su Tang looked cold on the surface, but she was actually just so-so. Wasn’t she still coaxed by him with a few words?
Su Tang had only agreed to go downstairs to the canteen with him for dinner, but in Zhou He’s opinion, she had already agreed to go on a private date with him.
Zhou He had already treated Su Tang as his girlfriend. He even had to pick up food for Su Tang during dinner.
This disgusted Su Tang. She lost her appetite and threw the food that she had not eaten into the trash can.
Zhou He was shocked by her sudden action. His face turned pale as he asked in confusion, “What’s wrong? You’re not eating anymore?”
Su Tang looked straight at him expressionlessly and said word by word, “I don’t like others using their own chopsticks to pick up food for me. I’m full. Goodbye.”
With that, Su Tang turned around and left with a straight face like last time. She did not give Zhou He another look.
Even though Zhou He had wanted to get close to Su Tang from the beginning, he could not help but be a little angry from embarrassment now that he was being snubbed by the same girl twice in a row. He stared at Su Tang’s back as she left; his gaze as cold as a poisonous snake that would always hide in the dark.
After successfully shaking off Zhou He again, Su Tang could not help but cheer herself on in her heart.
As long as she endured it a few more times and did it according to the method Chen Wei had taught her, she would definitely be able to successfully counter Zhou He’s tactics and use him to get close to that mysterious criminal organization faster.
She was not worried that Zhou He would be angered by her and give up on her completely. After all, a man like Zhou He, who had an inferiority complex and needed to pretend to be himself, should not be able to stand women’s contempt.
Sure enough, Su Tang returned to her seat and had just read a page when Zhou He walked back expressionlessly.
Along the way, he pondered over Su Tang’s attitude towards him.
If Su Tang really didn’t like him, she could have rejected him directly when he invited her.. Why did she have to eat with him and then pretend not to like him and throw away the food?
