Ye Chen politely declined an offer to train for ping pong, preferring his life as a delivery person. Afterwards, he accepted a lunch invitation from Xie Yingying and her friend Liu Tingting. During their meal, the two girls expressed concern about his delivery job and their own future prospects, while Ye Chen offered reassurance.

Xie Yingying also felt that her best friend’s behavior was a bit unusual, looking at her with a puzzled expression.

Just as Ye Chen and Xie Yingying were both baffled, Liu Tingting spoke up: "Brother Ye Chen, I disagree with what you just said."

"Everyone can read, it’s just learning the knowledge in books."

"But how many of those bookworms can actually survive in society?"

"Now with only a year left until graduation, I think what we should do now is to train ourselves in society."

"Brother Ye Chen, do you think I’m right?"

Liu Tingting’s family background is average too, she knows when she graduates, she won’t be able to find a satisfactory job through family connections.

The only thing she could think of was to use this year to really train herself, so she can compete with others.

Ye Chen felt that this little girl indeed has her own thoughts and nodded with a smile: "Tingting, I quite agree with your idea, but I just hope you all don’t neglect your courses, because graduating successfully for you right now is the most important thing."

He said this because he had already planned for the two girls once they graduated.

If they couldn’t find a satisfactory job, Ye Chen could help them out.

Therefore, neither Xie Yingying nor Liu Tingting needed to worry about finding a job.

Although it’s the first meeting between Liu Tingting and Ye Chen, he would also help this girl for the sake of Xie Yingying.

"Alright, Brother Ye Chen don’t worry, Yingying and I know what we’re doing, we definitely won’t neglect our studies," Liu Tingting said with a smile.

Hearing the girl speak like this, Ye Chen couldn’t say much more.

He definitely didn’t want his kind advice to make the girls feel resentful, thinking he’s preaching.

After all, Ye Chen was appearing in front of the two girls as a delivery worker right now, if he appeared as a business genius he might be more persuasive.

Just forget it for now, but Ye Chen was determined from the heart that if the two girls need help, he would definitely help them.

In Ye Chen’s eyes, Xie Yingying and Liu Tingting were like sisters.

He would protect these two girls like a big brother protecting his sisters.

Of course, this would have to be in the condition that both girls agreed.

While the three were chatting, the waiter had already served all the dishes.

"Brother Ye Chen, since this is our first meeting today and you helped Yingying and me out, I’d like to thank you by replacing wine with tea and toast to you." Liu Tingting raised her tea cup and looked at Ye Chen with a smile.

Ye Chen was a bit helpless with the girl’s gesture.

He could only raise his tea cup and drink the tea.

As the three of them ate and chatted, they unknowingly ended up talking about the recently popular song ’Simple Love’.

"Brother Ye Chen, have you heard the popular song lately?" Liu Tingting, full of quirky charm, suddenly asked.

"That song?" Ye Chen pretended not to understand and asked.

"It’s ’Simple Love’, how could you not have heard such a popular song?" Liu Tingting asked thoughtfully.

"Oh, you’re talking about that song, I have indeed heard it." Ye Chen nodded and said.

"I really think that song is very nice, I heard that the boy singing it is also very handsome, I’d love to meet him," Liu Tingting said with a face filled with infatuation.

When Liu Tingting first saw Ye Chen, she thought the boy in front of her was like a movie star.

Though she felt somewhat attracted to Ye Chen, she knew her best friend Xie Yingying liked the boy in front of them.

The two girls had a great relationship, Liu Tingting didn’t want to ruin their friendship because of a boy.

So she could only shift her target to the recently popular Wang Hao.

The reason Liu Tingting appeared provocative just now was that she was anxious for Xie Yingying to finally express her love for Ye Chen.

She just wanted to use this as a way to provoke her.

Xie Yingying of course knew that the boy Liu Tingting mentioned was Wang Hao, so she smiled and said, "What’s he like, how could he let you see him so easily?"

From her best friend’s tone, Xie Yingying could tell the clue.

If Liu Tingting really liked Ye Chen, how could she mention another boy in front of him?

Previously, Xie Yingying was worried, afraid her best friend might fight for the boy with her.

Upon hearing what Liu Tingting just said, her heart, which had been lingering, immediately relaxed.

Ye Chen kept silent and continued to eat.

After all, when faced with delicious food, just chatting would be a shame.

And with two girls talking, it wasn’t good for a man to interrupt.

While he was drinking tea, Liu Tingting suddenly said as if she had remembered something, "Brother Ye Chen, I heard the lyricist and composer of this song have the same name as you, isn’t it peculiar?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen choked on his water and started coughing violently.

"Brother Ye Chen, are you alright?" Xie Yingying asked with a worried expression.

Then she turned to her best friend and said, "Tingting, what are you doing making a fuss while Brother Ye Chen was drinking water, see you’ve choked him."

When Xie Yingying said this, she had a face of complaint.

Seeing Ye Chen choked on water, she felt a pang of heartache.

"This... can you blame me? It wasn’t intentional," Liu Tingting was evidently somewhat unwilling.

Ye Chen, fearing the two girls might quarrel, quickly waved his hand and said, "I’m fine."

He then looked at Liu Tingting with a surprised expression and said, "Is that so, it’s quite strange, I really didn’t know, I just thought the song sounds good."

Upon hearing this, Liu Tingting said speechlessly, "It’s not just good, it’s way too good, Brother Ye Chen, you don’t know several boys in our school managed to win over girls because of this song."

"Tingting, you’re making the song sound too magical, if that’s the case, every boy only needs to sing it to the girl he loves, and they’d all succeed," Ye Chen shook his head helplessly and said.

Before Liu Tingting could speak, Xie Yingying said, "Brother Ye Chen, Tingting isn’t joking, we’ve seen this with our own eyes, that song truly has magic power, capable of bringing two people together."

Ye Chen hadn’t expected not only would the song let Wang Hao, who has always wanted to be a star, achieve his dream, it also allowed those boys and girls to end up as couples.

His actions this time truly have helped many people, it’s truly a joy to help others.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen felt truly happy, and a smug smile appeared on his face.

Seeing Ye Chen’s expression, the two girls were also puzzled.
