Chapter 33: Destined Encounters Will Happen

Chapter 33: Destined Encounters Will Happen

TL: Etude

By the way, didnt you say you were bringing your roommates?

They went shopping and might take a while to get here.

Zhou Chao couldnt help but lean forward and asked Hong Yan, Is your roommate pretty?

Hong Yan sneakily glanced at Jiang Qin, her cheeks slightly flushed, Yes, shes much prettier than me.

Really?

Really, youll see when they arrive.

As they were talking, the kitchen had finished preparing the dishes, which the waiter brought to the table one by one, along with eight bottles of beer.

Perhaps because the restaurant was too busy, Jiang Qin couldnt find a bottle opener and resorted to slamming the bottle caps open against the edge of the table.

Bang

Ren Ziqiangs eyes widened, Jiang, thats quite a skill.

Jiang Qin waved it off, Nothing special, just a practiced hand.

Hong Yans eyes sparkled slightly, her eyelashes fluttering, Thats from Ouyang Xiu, a great literary figure of the Song Dynasty, in The Oil Seller. Jiang Qin, you can even apply classical literature?

?????

Jiang Qin was momentarily stunned, thinking to himself that this was a stale internet joke from the future. He remembered seeing it every time he skipped the opening of an anime on a small online platform. Besides, there was also Nothing special, just an automatic transmission.

Now has this phrase not yet become clich?

Jiang Qin subconsciously glanced at Hong Yan, his brows slightly furrowed.

This girl seems to have some incredible filter for him

I think my roommate is here, Ill go fetch her.

After some idle chat, Hong Yan left her seat. Zhou Chao and Ren Ziqiang immediately couldnt hold back anymore, their straight backs slumping as they each grabbed Jiang Qins arm and wouldnt let go.

Jiang, start teaching us, were all ears!

Jiang Qin struggled to pull his hand free, Youre overthinking it, Im not even into dating.

Cao Guangyu couldnt help but be moved, Arent you interested in such a beautiful girl?

Its not that Im not interested, I just think dating is a waste of time.

Zhou Chao couldnt help but pout, Jiang, Im not making this up, Hong Yan definitely has feelings for you.

Jiang Qin was surprised, You can tell?

Of course, the way Hong Yan looks at you, its like shes melting. And she smiles every time you speak to her, isnt it obvious?

Looks like we cant eat together anymore

Zhou Chao: ?????

Ren Ziqiang casually continued the conversation, Old Jiang, Hong Yan just said her roommate is even prettier than her, you should let her introduce us.

Jiang Qin gently shook his head, Hong Yan is very emotionally intelligent. Shes very considerate when speaking, so her saying her roommate is pretty might not be true. Be careful later, dont say anything inappropriate.

Cao Guangyu was overwhelmed. While he didnt mind being generous, he was the one paying the bill! As a rich second-generation, he cared about his image and couldnt directly express his concern. Plus, Hong Yans roommates, especially Chu Siqi, were indeed beautiful, matching Hong Yan in attractiveness.

He realized that Hong Yan was interested in Jiang Qin, so he probably didnt stand a chance. After all, a girl chasing a guy is like a veil separating them. But if he could develop a relationship with a beauty of the same caliber, that would be a story worth telling.

Chu, do you drink?

No, thank you.

What about your favorite dishes? Shall I order some for you?

Chu Siqi shook her head again, this time not even bothering to speak.

Cao Guangyus eagerness was met with indifference, leaving him feeling extremely frustrated. Was the disparity in life this obvious and painful?

Lets eat first, we can talk later.

Jiang Qin suddenly spoke up, passing the chopsticks to Hong Yan.

It was just a friendly gesture, without much meaning, but Chu Siqi couldnt hold back any longer, feeling a piercing pain in her heart, and her eyes filled with a mournful look.

Jiang Qin was supposed to like her, those gentle and considerate moments were supposed to be hers alone.

She couldnt bear it any longer.

Jiang Qin, you said we would end things amicably, so why have you suddenly appeared before me?

Chu Siqi looked at Jiang Qin, her words silencing the entire table.

Jiang Qin paused while picking up food, then looked up reluctantly, Its just a coincidence. I had arranged to have dinner with Hong Yan, but I didnt know you were roommates. Its too accidental.

Chu Siqis temper flared up, If I say you are, then you are. How dare you deny it?

I have something else to do, you guys enjoy your meal.

Jiang Qin truly detested this kind of entitled attitude. If I say you are, then you are? He thought to himself that she should be a doctor at a fertility clinic for such miraculous claims.

He placed his chopsticks on the plate, gave Hong Yan an apologetic smile, excused himself to the others, and then got up from his seat.

Do you know each other? Hong Yan, still trying to make sense of the situation, looked somewhat lost.

Jiang Qin paused briefly, then nodded indifferently, Yeah, high school classmates.

Not just classmates, you also said you would love me forever! Chu Siqis voice trembled with sadness at his understatement.

Meanwhile, Cao Guangyu, Ren Ziqiang, and Zhou Chao were all stunned, struggling to comprehend what had just happened.

What just took place?

Is Chu Siqi also involved with Jiang Qin?

Did Jiang Qin just silently outsmart us again?

TL: Damn this book is pretty good imo
