However, Yu Xiaofei's plea was effective. 
Qin Yi soon became soft-hearted, hearing her sweet and kittenish voice. He had no choice but to ask, "What is it?"
It turned out that since Yu Xiaofei changed her major, a boy in her class had been pursuing her.
The boy asked several of her friends to persuade her to attend his birthday party today.
Yu Xiaofei wanted to find Qin Yi to pretend to be her boyfriend and make him give up so that she could study in peace.
When Qin Yi heard this, he snarled, "Hmph! How dare he covets my woman!"
"Haha! You sure know how to act!" Yu Xiaofei patted him on the shoulder in appreciation. "All right, I'll go to class first. Wait for me at the school gate in the afternoon."
She left Qin Yi alone after finishing her sentence. Then, he muttered, "Am I only putting on an act?"
After school in the afternoon.
At Qingyu Education University's gate was a massive crowd of people.
Yu Xiaofei found Qin Yi at the door and curled her lips in disdain. "Why don't you change your clothes?"
Although he was her fake boyfriend, he had to show her some respect, didn't he?
Qin Yi's outfit was a bit too old-fashioned.
"Why do I need to change my clothes?" Qin Yi looked at himself in confusion. "My T-shirt is Giordano's, and it costs 39 yuan. Look at my shoes! They're of high quality and a world-class brand. I bought them at the night market last night for 58 yuan! It's fashionable if I were to wear them in my village." 
Yu Xiaofei was speechless. 
At this time, Yu Xiaofei's classmates came out to greet her.
There were five men and four women in total.
The men and the women looked stunning. 
When they saw Qin Yi, they couldn't help but glance at each other.
"Xiaofei, who is this?" A long-haired girl with big earrings asked.
Before Yu Xiaofei could say anything, Qin Yi took the initiative to introduce himself. He smiled politely and said, "Hello, I'm Yu Xiaofei's boyfriend."
As soon as he said that, everyone was stunned and looked at Yu Xiaofei suspiciously.
"Xiaofei, I remember that you don't have a boyfriend." The girl with big earrings asked as she stole glances at Qin Yi.
"I just got a new boyfriend." Yu Xiaofei tugged at Qin Yi's arm tacitly.
For a moment, the atmosphere was a little awkward and nervous.
"Xiaofei, since your friend is here, let's sit together!"
The person who spoke was called Du Bin.
He was the birthday boy who constantly pestered Yu Xiaofei.
His branded clothes cost at least a few thousand yuan.
It was completely different compared to Qin Yi's counterfeit products.
He had a chance upon realizing this.
"We appreciate your kindness. We still have other things to do." Qin Yi rejected Du Bin with a smile.
He came here today to make those pursuing Yu Xiaofei give up, and he didn't intend to have dinner with them.
"Don't!" Hearing Du Bin's invitation, the girl with big earrings said, "Xiaofei, today is Du Bin's birthday. You can't just say that you don't want to go. Besides, he has already booked a place in Hongye Restaurant. It's not good to leave the seat empty."
"Yes, Xiaofei, Hongye Restaurant is one of the best restaurants on Red Star Street. It's rare for Du Bin to spend once on us. Haha!"
The others also tried to persuade Yu Xiaofei. 
Yu Xiaofei was about to say no again, but Qin Yi spoke first. "Hmm, since everyone's so enthusiastic, we can't make you lose your face."
Everyone exchanged gazes, and their eyes showed a deep contempt for Qin Yi. 
At first, it was quite a flattering rejection. But as soon as Qin Yi heard that they wanted to go to a big restaurant like Hongye Restaurant, he agreed. How shameless was Qin Yi! 
What a country bumpkin Qin Yi was! It was better to allow him to experience the world and understand his real identity so he would leave Yu Xiaofei as soon as possible. 
Yu Xiaofei frowned as she tugged at Qin Yi's arm and thought he was a pushover. Why did he suddenly change his mind?
Qin Yi responded with a smile, signaling her not to worry about anything. 
As for Qin Yi, he'd changed his mind because he heard them going to Hongye Restaurant. 
If he remembered correctly, this restaurant wanted to poach Shen Moyun, his cash cow. 
It was the perfect time to settle accounts with them. 
Hongye Restaurant was not far from Qingyu Education University. After walking for about ten minutes, they finally arrived.
As soon as Qin Yi entered the lobby, he felt that the atmosphere was different from that of his restaurant.
The decoration was luxurious and magnificent. The diamond-like crystal lamp in the hall was worth tens of thousands of yuan. 
No wonder they dared take Shen Moyun by force. They seemed to be capable," thought Qin Yi to himself.
When Du Bin and the others saw Qin Yi looking around as if he hadn't come to a big restaurant, they despised him even more. They didn't know what was on Yu Xiaofei's mind that she was interested in this kind of country bumpkin.
At this moment, Yu Xiaofei could also feel the strange looks in everyone's eyes. She truly regretted finding a fake boyfriend like Qin Yi. 
After all, she was also a girl who had vanity. 
"Can't you be a little calmer? Don't look around." Yu Xiaofei tugged at him and reminded him in a low voice.
Although her voice was very soft, Du Bin still heard it. The corners of his mouth curled into a smug smile.
He thought, "It seems I've chosen the right place for my party. Let the country bumpkin who took away my love lose face."
"Oh! I'm looking for someone." Qin Yi spread out his hands.
When the others heard this, they felt that it was hilarious. 
To look for someone in such a high-end restaurant?
Did he know not anyone who could afford to dine here?
His reason was too bad.
The big earrings girl purposefully asked, "Qin Yi, do you have a friend who works as a waiter here?" 
All of a sudden, there was a burst of laughter.
Qin Yi couldn't be bothered by them and continued to look around.
He wanted to see if he could meet Li Xueli, who had been beaten up today, so he could talk to their boss later. 
Du Bin beckoned everyone to sit down when they arrived at the private room they had booked in advance.
Some of his friends wanted Yu Xiaofei and Du Bin to sit next to each other, but they hadn't thought Qin Yi would squeeze into the middle of them. All of them found him even more unsightly.
They even felt ashamed to have a meal with someone like him who dressed in cheap clothes.
The waiter brought the menu over. Du Bin smiled and handed it to Yu Xiaofei. "Xiaofei, you can order whatever you like. Don't have to be too polite with me."
At this time, Zhang Ya, the girl with big earrings, said to her boyfriend next to her with an exaggerated expression, "Yang Fan, look! You need to learn from Du Bin. How gentlemanly he is!"
Yang Fan cooperated with him and said with a smile, "Du Bin comes from a noble family. How can a nobody like us have the chance to dine here?" 
The other girl also pretended to sigh. "Alas! It would be nice to have a man like Du Bin as a boyfriend. It's a pity that he has someone in his heart."
As they chatted, they cast meaningful glances at Yu Xiaofei, completely treating her fake boyfriend, Qin Yi, as nonexistent. 
Yu Xiaofei didn't move at all. She smiled and pushed the menu to Du Bin. "Anything."
"It's nothing, Xiaofei. You don't have to be so polite to me. It's my birthday today."
"There's no need. I'm okay with everything."
Du Bin sensibly took back the menu after she rejected him. In his heart, he was increasingly satisfied with Yu Xiaofei.
Yu Xiaofei was not only beautiful but also possessed the disposition of a lady from a respectable family. 
Usually, she was pure and beautiful, but she naturally showed a dignified and elegant demeanor on some important occasions. At first glance, she was not an ordinary girl. 
Moreover, she didn't live in the dormitory and rented a villa outside. 
Who would be willing to rent a villa for an ordinary student?
She must have an extraordinary identity!
Of course.
Du Bin didn't know that she rented the villa for only six hundred yuan a month, including the facilities bills. 
Moreover, he didn't even know that the country bumpkin, Qin Yi, was Yu Xiaofei's landlord.
