Zhang Xiaoyue and others' discussion about Qin Yun was unknown to him. At that moment, he noticed Yu Leyao sitting down beside him.

Just as he was about to speak, Yu Leyao spoke first, "Qin Yun, my store has some new dishes. Want to try them out at lunch?"

Yu Leyao invited him with a smile.

Hearing her words, Qin Yun, who already had something to ask her, nodded and said, "Sure."

After class, it was almost twelve o'clock, and the two of them went to the mala tang restaurant. Yu Leyao had prepared some newly developed side dishes.

"How do they taste?" Sitting at the table, Yu Leyao asked with a smile.

"Very good." Qin Yun gave a thumbs up and said, "With these cooking skills, you could probably be a head chef at a star-rated restaurant."

"As long as you like it." Yu Leyao began eating as well.

Qin Yun asked a classmate at the store for a small bottle of juice and poured a glass for Yu Leyao.

"By the way, Yu Leyao, I wanted to ask you something." After eating for a while, Qin Yun finally asked, "You know Professor Zhao Yanlin, right?"

He had been planning to ask this yesterday.

Upon hearing his inquiry, Yu Leyao didn't hide anything and laughed, "She's my grandmother."

"Professor Zhao of Jinling University is your grandmother?" Qin Yun was quite surprised.

He didn't expect Yu Leyao to have such a background.

However, if Professor Zhao is at Jinling University, why did Yu Leyao come to study at Jiangyuan University?

Seeing Qin Yun's confusion, Yu Leyao explained, "I didn't score high enough on the college entrance exam to get into Jinling University."

Hearing this, Qin Yun understood.

Jinling University is ranked in the top ten nationwide; getting in isn't just about connections. If the score is close, it's somewhat possible.

But the score gap between Jiangyuan University and Jinling University is substantial, so even if Yu Leyao had the highest score in her Business Management program, it wasn't enough.

"So, you know about the clothing store situation?" Qin Yun thought for a moment and asked.

"Yes, I found out by chance." Yu Leyao nodded seriously and said, "Qin Yun, your question is a silly one."

Since her grandmother was involved, she surely knew about the issues with the Celestial Fortune and Cold Dew clothing stores.

"Yeah, it is a bit silly." Qin Yun chuckled, "Come on, class monitor, I toast to you and thank you for your help."

"It's nothing."

Yu Leyao took a sip of juice, waved her hand, and said, "I didn't do much. The old lady's got nothing better to do at home; coming out is a way to get some fresh air, and she can make some money too."

If the old professor were here and heard these words from her beloved granddaughter Yu Leyao, it would be intriguing to know what her reaction would be, whether she'd get angry or even reach for a broom.

However, Qin Yun sincerely said, "This isn't a small thing; it's very important for the clothing store."

Professor Zhao's ability isn't the main point, but rather the reputation and prestige she brings, and the influence behind it.

Attempting to suppress the Celestial Fortune clothing store means facing the lawsuit from the old professor of Jinling University, which automatically deters many odd ideas, all of which aren't something money can measure.

It's like when a newly established company is unstable and the staff lacks unity, but suddenly a significant figure arrives—a very famous one.

Having such a person in charge, even if they do nothing, quickly stabilizes the place.

This is prestige and deterrence.

Qin Yun was truly grateful for Yu Leyao's help.

"To me, these are really small matters." Yu Leyao said with a smile.

Qin Yun thought for a while and suddenly asked, "Class monitor, do you know the specifics of Cold Dew clothing? Its backing is impressive, so I'm a bit puzzled about why you'd help me?"

Cold Dew Clothing is a large corporation valued at over a billion, and directly opposing it isn't a wise choice, especially when siding with the weaker Celestial Fortune clothing.

Looking at Yu Leyao, based on his understanding of her, she definitely knew about the interests between the two but still helped him.

"You want to know the reason?" Yu Leyao looked at Qin Yun and asked.

Qin Yun nodded.

Looking at the boy in front of her, Yu Leyao smiled and said, "The reason is simple, because I like you."

She was very straightforward, without any shyness, and said it directly.

"Uh..." Hearing this, Qin Yun was stunned.

"Qin Yun, do you like me?" After saying this, Yu Leyao gazed at Qin Yun, seriously asking.

Looking at her serious expression, Qin Yun didn't know what to say. A few seconds later, he said, "I don't have any plans for a relationship right now."

"Alright, let me know when you have such plans; I'll wait for you." Yu Leyao said, without showing any sign of pestering.

Hearing her words, Qin Yun couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

First Lin Mengmeng was like this, and now Yu Leyao as well.

Lin Mengmeng was a bit shy; whereas, Yu Leyao was very direct.

"Class monitor, you don't have to wait for me. I might want to enter a relationship in the future but might not choose you."

Qin Yun thought for a moment and tried to say as gently as possible.

"I'll only give up when that time comes." Yu Leyao said, looking at Qin Yun.

"However, if you plan to start dating someone, do let me know."

She looked at Qin Yun with a serious expression, waiting for his response.

Qin Yun hesitated for a moment and then nodded.

Leaving the mala tang restaurant, Qin Yun was unsure of how he felt.

Matters of the heart seemed much more challenging than running a clothing store to him.

Leaving the mala tang restaurant, Qin Yun arrived at the school's building 3, dorm room 305.

But only Liu Xin was there; Zhao Kanghao, Li Hanyu, and the others weren't around.

"Brother Qin." Seeing Qin Yun enter the dorm, Liu Xin whispered.

At that time, he was cleaning the dorm by himself and was wiping Qin Yun's desk.

Qin Yun didn't stay in the dorm, but his bed and desk were very neat, which Qin Yun knew was mostly Liu Xin's doing.

Liu Xin usually lived frugally, and it was clear his family was not well off. Qin Yun had the idea of helping him.

However, the clothing store mostly hired women in their twenties and thirties, so Liu Xin wasn't a fit.

"Where are the others?" Qin Yun asked with a smile.

Liu Xin whispered, "Brother Zhao and the others are playing cards; Brother Li and the rest went out."

"Playing cards?" Qin Yun asked curiously.

Liu Xin explained, "They're at dorm 308 now."

College life is undoubtedly relaxed. If one wants to study seriously, preparing for graduate school would require spending time studying.

For those not planning to pursue further studies, college offers lots of leisure time, like going out, playing cards, and so on—these are common activities.

Many college students spend years in school, forgetting almost everything they learned and making little progress themselves, before finally entering society.

Qin Yun had played cards with Zhao Kanghao and the others in the dorm a few times, and his luck was always unbelievably good. He never lost a game, earning him the nickname 'Gambling God' from Zhao Kanghao and the others.
