Tian Zhiyuan hadn't expected An Ran to be so straightforward. He followed the two of them to a snail noodle shop near Nan University.
Each of the three ordered a bowl of snail noodles. Tian Zhiyuan didn't eat much and spent the whole meal trying to talk to An Ran and Xiao Xiao, asking them to help persuade Wang Xiaoyi to stop working at the bar.
"Tian... Zhiyuan, right?" Xiao Xiao swallowed a mouthful of snail noodles and said to Tian Zhiyuan, "Actually, if you as her boyfriend can't persuade her, we won't be able to do much either. Xiaoyi is an adult and can weigh the pros and cons. When she joined the university, she told us her family's situation wasn't good and she needed to work to pay for her tuition. The coursework at Nan University is intense, and tuition fees are high. She works there out of necessity. Besides, Xiao Yi has been working at the bar for over six months, and nothing has happened, right? You don't need to worry too much."
