Joey explained, "We don't have many students in archaeology, let alone female students. Across four batches, Yankee and I make up the entire female student demographic. Therefore, we live in the same dormitory. As for what happened just now, it was all an act. I asked Yankee to do that on purpose, just to make those annoying boys give up."
"Oh, I see!" Upon hearing this, Fade finally understood. At the same time, he couldn't help to think that Joey's mischievous character still hadn't changed at all!
Yankee looked at Fade with curiosity, appraising him from head to toe.
Joey then explained to Yankee, "Yankee, this is Fade Chen, my senior, and also my older brother."
"Oh!" Upon hearing this, Yankee was confused. "You guys-"
Joey simply explained, "Fade and I grew up and studied at the same place, that’s why we're close."
"Oh, I see." Yankee nodded, then naturally stretched out her right hand to Fade, and greeted, "Hello, Mr. Chen."
Fade shook hands with Yankee with a smile and said, "You need not be so formal. You are a friend of Joey's. You can address me by my name. If you don't mind, you think of me as a brother too, just like Joey."
Yankee smiled and said, "I'd better call you Fade, then."
"Okay! Then I'll call you Yankee." Fade said with a smile, and Yankee nodded in agreement.
"Fade, stop flirting." Joey held Fade's arm and said with a smile, 'Ts not often that you'd drop by for a visit. Let's go. Dinner's on me."
"Nice!" Fade nodded, then looked at Yankee and said, "Yankee, join us!"
"Of course. Let's not forget that Yankee is my 'boyfriend' now!" While she spoke, Joey held Yankee with one hand as the three of them walked out together.
Fade was not familiar with Capital University, so he let Joey lead the way. Soon, the three of them walked out of the school gate and came to a welldecorated hotel. Yankee pointed to the hotel and said, "Let's dine here."
Fade looked at the five-star hotel rating, and then at Joey in surprise. "Joey, since when have you become so generous? You're inviting me to dinner at a five-star hotel. I still remember that when you were a child, you wouldn't even let me take a bite out of your sweet potato!" "Don't be silly!" Joey glared at Fade, and then shot him a smile. "It's my treat, but you're footing the bill."
Hearing this, Fade was momentarily stunned. He then laughed and said, "So, that's what you mean by 'treat'! It's your treat but I’ll be paying."
"Don't be so stingy! Master already told me that you have made a lot of money. Can’t you spare some change and treat your own sister to a meal?" Joey held Fade's arm and began acting like a spoiled child.
Fade was speechless.
Joey pulled Yankee before Fade. She winked at Fade and said, "Yankee is not bad, right?"
