Fu Chen and Jing Hanchuanâs eyes met, and swords clashed. At this moment, Duan Linbai rushed out from the sideâ¦
âThird Fu, youâre finally here.â Duan Linbai was so frightened earlier that he had hidden.
Jing Hanchuan flirting? The scene was simply horrifying, comparable to a horror movie. If he had appeared, Jing Hanchuan would have definitely shot him to death with his eyes.
Fortunately, Fu Chen came.
Otherwise, he would definitely suffocate to death if he kept hiding.
âSince everyone is here, letâs hurry up and eat.â Fu Sinian had returned from accompanying Yu Manxi for a walk. The group walked toward the private room.
Xu Yuanfei was the least familiar with them. As the host, Yu Manxi naturally had to take care of her. She accompanied her all the way to the front, and on her other side was Song Fengwan.
âWanwan, is summer vacation soon?â Yu Manxi asked casually.
âYes, Iâve been preparing for the CET6 exam recently, and I still have to prepare for my finals, so Iâm very busy.â At this moment, all classes at Beijing University had already stopped, and it was time to review for exam week. Next week, the various universities would start their exams one after another, and all the schools would be on summer break starting in early July.
âNo wonder I havenât seen you much recently.â
Song Fengwan smiled. Speaking of which, time flew by fast. After the summer vacation, she would be in her second year of university.
âMiss Xu, what have you been busy with recently?â Yu Manxi looked at the person beside her.
âThe weather was good, so I went out to play.â
âI saw your friend. Is he your boyfriend?â Song Fengwanâs question made the four men following closely behind look at Jing Hanchuan in unison.
A certain someone was walking leisurely without a change in expression.
âNo, heâs my younger brother. I donât have a boyfriend yet.â Xu Yuanfeiâs heart was in her mouth, and she was inexplicably nervous.
Thinking that Jing Hanchuan had a girlfriend, she felt it was really unreasonable for him to be so close to her.
âOhhhâ¦â Song Fengwan dragged out and smiled evilly.
âEveryone seems to have a good relationship. Do you meet up regularly?â Xu Yuanfei smiled and changed the topic.
âWeâll meet if weâre free.â
âDo you bring your partners?â
âIf we have one, weâll definitely bring them,â Yu Manxi replied casually. She only thought that she was worried about them teasing her and deliberately found another topic.
Xu Yuanfei was startled.
She had eaten with this group of people twice. Although Fu Chen and Song Fengwan didnât publicize it, she could guess their relationship. Jing Hanchuan had always been alone, and no one had mentioned that he had a girlfriend or anything.
Yu Manxiâs answer meant that if he had a partner, he would bring them with him.
But her brother clearly said that he had a girlfriend, and he wouldnât spout nonsenseâ¦
She didnât dare to ask further. She was confused.
***
Everyone sat down, and Fu Sinianâs friends from the studio naturally sat next to each other. They already occupied half of the seats, and the remaining few people left empty seats for Jing Hanchuan and Xu Yuanfei.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Xu Yuanfei had no choice but to sit beside Jing Hanchuan.
Because they were congratulating Fu Sinian and Yu Manxi on moving to a new home, they would naturally toast them. Everyone was very familiar with each other, so there was no such thing as urging others to drink. It was just a token.
When the dishes were served, Xu Yuanfeiâs eyes widened when she saw the waiter serve a large bowl of small lobsters.
Minced garlic, fragrant spices⦠These few flavors were mixed together, and just the smell of it made peopleâs mouths water.
After Yu Manxi became pregnant, she ate very carefully. She liked spicy food, but she had been afraid of stimulating her stomach, so she had avoided eating spicy food for a period of time. She didnât expect that a while later, she would like to eat spicy food even more. She also liked to eat lobsters, but she didnât dare to be greedy.
Fu Chen didnât eat much. He almost always had his head turned to talk with Duan Linbai at the side. Seeing that Song Fengwan was about to put on gloves, he pulled them out of her hands. âIâll do it.â
âOkay.â Song Fengwan subconsciously looked at everyone at the dining table.
Actually, everyone present knew about their relationship and had a tacit understanding.
âSlow down. Donât get pricked.â Song Fengwan gulped greedily.
âDonât worry about him. Heâs been trained by his sister since he was a child. Heâs good at handling lobsters and crabs.â Duan Linbai held back his laughter.
Everyone knew that Fu Wan liked to eat crabs.
âHey, let me tell you something funny. You definitely donât know this. When Third Fu and his brother-in-law first met⦠Mmphâ!â Duan Linbai was about to speak when Fu Chen picked up the half-eaten chicken drumstick on his plate and stuffed it into his mouth.
âEat your food!â
âMmphââ Duan Linbai snorted coldly.
âWhat about their first meeting?â Song Fengwanâs curiosity was already piqued.
âItâs nothing. Eat the lobsters.â Fu Chen glared at a certain someone angrily, signaling him to shut up.
On the other side, Xu Yuanfei was staring at the lobsters, hesitating whether to eat any.
It was really not elegant to peel lobsters. At home, she had once eaten until her hands were covered in oil, and even her forearms had oil spots. With Jing Hanchuan here, she had to pay attention to her image. She gritted her teeth and got some of the plate of cold cucumber salad in front of her.
Jing Hanchuan elegantly put on a pair of disposable plastic gloves, rotated the turntable so that the lobsters were in front of him, took out a few, and placed them on a plate.
He usually cooked at home, so he handled the lobsters and removed the shells elegantly. Xu Yuanfei glanced at him from the corner of her eye and thought to herself that she had to order delivery when she got back and eat a few pounds of lobster.
While chatting with Fu Sinian from time to time, he deshelled the lobsters, dipped the meat in sauce, and placed it on a small white plate, but he didnât touch it.
He deshelled more than ten lobsters, took off his gloves, wiped his hands, and quietly pushed the plate to her side.
Xu Yuanfei was dumbfounded. At this moment, everyone was talking, and no one seemed to notice her.
ââ¦â She looked at Jing Hanchuan.
âYou donât want to eat?â
Xu Yuanfei wanted to reject him, but the temptation was too great. She blushed and thanked him.
She held her chopsticks and picked up some lobster meat, eating carefully.
She ate very slowly and chewed in small bites. It was as if she wasnât eating lobster meat, and she didnât know what it tasted like. It was clearly spicy, but there was a sweetness in her mouth.
It felt as if there were little deer antlers constantly bumping against her chest. Her heart was pounding like a drum, and her palms holding her chopsticks were slightly hot.
âYour hand is injured. Itâs better not to peel lobsters. Itâs easy to get infected,â Jing Hanchuan said softly.
Xu Yuanfei had just drawn a bow and shot arrows. Her palm was a little scratched, but there was no blood. She was not that delicate and didnât care about it at all, but she didnât expect him to notice.
Her heart felt sweet and bitter.?Does he have a girlfriend?
She hesitated, but she still said in a low voice, âYouâre very careful. Your girlfriend should be very happy with you.â
âPeople say that falling in love with me is fatal. No one dares to step into my house,â Jing Hanchuan said casually.
âYou donât have a girlfriend?â she asked.
âWhat do you think?â Jing Hanchuan didnât answer her question directly, but his meaning was very clear.
Xu Yuanfei bit her lip and lowered her head, holding back her smile.
Jing Hanchuan shouldnât lie about this kind of thing. There was no need for him to lie to her.
At this moment, her heart felt like it was on a roller coaster soaring to the sky.
Xu Yao, just you wait.
Jing Hanchuan didnât know why she suddenly smiled.?I donât think I said anything special.
â¦
After the gathering ended, a few of Fu Sinianâs friends wanted to find a place to sing and continue. Naturally, some wanted to go, while others didnât.
âItâs getting late. I have to go home early, so I wonât be accompanying you.â Xu Yuanfei smiled and said goodbye to everyone.
âI thought you didnât drive here. How are you going back?â Yu Manxiâs gaze landed on Jing Hanchuan. âSixth Master is going back too. Why donât you get him to send you back?â
âNo need. Weâre not going the same way. I called a taxi, and itâs already waiting at the entrance of the clubhouse.â Xu Yuanfei didnât wait for Jing Hanchuan to speak and said goodbye to everyone before walking straight to the entrance of the clubhouse.
Duan Linbai nudged Jing Hanchuanâs arm. âHey, why isnât she letting you send her back? Does she not like you?
âWhat did you say to her when you were flirting? She might not like you at all.
âWhen a girl says that itâs not on the way, itâs a disguised rejection. She just doesnât want you to send her back. TskâLittle Sixth, youâre overthinking things. Besides, she clearly said that you were just her customer.â
Jing Hanchuan glanced at him. âItâs a pity Iâm not good at sewing.â
âWhat?â
âOtherwise, I could thread a needle and sew up your mouth.â
Duan Linbai immediately shut his mouth obediently.?F*ck, the girl doesnât like you. Why are you venting your anger on me?
âSixth Master, should weâ¦â a Jing family member asked in a low voice, clearly asking if they should follow her.
âNo need.â It was fine as long as she appeared.
At this moment, Xu Yuanfei had already jumped into her car. The driver was a middle-aged man in his forties. âMiss, youâre playing with fire.â
âIâm not.â Xu Yuanfei was almost certain that Jing Hanchuan didnât have a girlfriend, and her mood improved a lot.
âIf Master finds out, how will you explain it? Not to mention that you havenât developed to that stage yet, even if you two start dating, he definitely wonât agree.â
âI can steal my household register,â Xu Yuanfei said half-jokingly.
The driver smiled bitterly.?Did Missâs head get damaged from being hit when she was a child?
