Chapter 318: 311: Meeting the Parents

“I’ve been careful,” Tang Yuxin lowered her head, still trying to pull her hand out, but it seemed that for a man overly narcissistic, he wouldn’t allow such actions.

“Why didn’t you call me?” Qin Ziye had been waiting for her call all the time, but he never got one. He thought to himself, this little girl’s defenses are so strong. However, it was fortunate that he ran into her today. It seemed she often came here.

“I don’t have anything to say,” Tang Yuxin finally pulled her hand out, placing it behind her. She was still not used to being so close to a man.

Qin Ziye didn’t force her further. He put his own hand in his pocket, but his fingertips still had a faint lingering scent from her.

“You can call even if there’s nothing to say,” Qin Ziye smiled.

“My name is Qin Ziye, male, 24 years old, own a small company, fully functional limbs, in good health, non-smoker, non-drinker, no bad habits.”

Tang Yuxin’s fingers held tightly behind her. Why was he telling her all this?

“Playing dumb.”

Qin Ziye lightly flicked Tang Yuxin’s forehead, “You’re a smart girl, you should know what I’m saying?”

“Do you have a boyfriend?”

He asked straightforwardly, pacing himself to match Tang Yuxin’s steps, not too fast, not too slow, everything was just right.

“I’m a freshman in college.”

Tang Yuxin emphasized her status. She was just a student, a freshman intern, she had just come of age.

“Well, you’re old enough to date,” Qin Ziye deliberately misinterpreted Tang Yuxin’s words.

Tang Yuxin’s lips moved slightly. She didn’t want to argue with him on this. This man was like a timed bomb strategically placed in her peaceful life. Her instinctive response was to reject him, but this man started appearing frequently in her life.

Tang Yuxin got a call, the dormitory supervisor was calling her again. And Tang Yuxin was really afraid of hearing the supervisor’s voice on the phone. Ever since Qin Ziye had escorted her to school and forced her to give him her phone number, he called her every day. She was worried that if this continued, the dormitory supervisor would be annoyed with her.

“Could you please stop calling me?” She lowered her voice. She felt that she could control everything, her past and her future, but she seemed to have no control over these unexpected events in her life, and Qin Ziye was just such an unanticipated occurrence.

It was impossible to prevent these unforeseen incidents.

“Okay,” Qin Ziye was still smiling, “I’ll pick you up tomorrow.”

“Pick me up?” Tang Yuxin didn’t understand what he was implying.

“I need to meet your parents,” Qin Ziye continued smiling, it was a pity that Tang Yuxin couldn’t see his smile, so it wasn’t possible for her to wipe it off his face.

“Parents?” Tang Yuxin was stunned, “What parents?”

“Your roommates,” Qin Ziye spoke in the same tone.

Whatever he wanted to do never followed the norm, and he always had to get what he wanted. He was like fire, capable of melting a whole iceberg, let alone a mere Tang Yuxin.

When he took interest in someone, when his heart started to flutter, then the prey he had in sight could never escape his palm, and would eventually submit to him wholeheartedly till death.

After much haggling, Tang Yuxin eventually agreed.

She wanted to clarify her stance with him. She was not looking to fall in love or find a boyfriend at this time. Even if she had experienced a tiny flutter in her heart, the time wasn’t right. But, even refusing him felt like someone was burning a fire under her seat, it seemed to melt her resolve.

“Let’s go out together tomorrow,” Tang Yuxin spoke only when all her roommates were present. It was necessary to say it, like it or not.

“What’s the occasion?” Lin Yile was applying toner to her face, she turned around, surprised and asked, “Yuxin, don’t you always stay in at night?”

“Someone’s asking us out for dinner,” Tang Yuxin responded resignedly.

Once the words were out, they couldn’t be taken back.

“Huh?” Lin Yile dropped the mirror, ran over, and stared at Tang Yuxin’s face, probably trying to see through her. Unfortunately, there was nothing to see on Tang Yuxin’s face, it was still as fair and calm.

Her face had always had a calm expression, she seemed easily in control. She could plan her moves, choose her desired school, her preferred major, and probably also have a smooth life ahead. What exactly happened today that made her so indecisive?

“Why are you going out?” Lin Yile sat down, “Are you inviting?”

“You’ll know once you go,” Tang Yuxin didn’t want to explain too much about the matter. The more she explained, the more confusing it got. Once they went and met the person, there wouldn’t be any need to explain.

“Are you not telling me something?” Lin Yile examined Tang Yuxin for a long time with suspicion.

Tang Yuxin opened her lips slightly.

“You’ll know after going,” she repeated. In fact, even she didn’t know how all of this happened?

It appeared to be destiny, from their first meeting in Qing’an till now. That flutter of the heart she felt at that moment could not be hidden. As for the future, nobody knew, they could only live in the present and speculate about the elusive future.

The next day, all the girls in the dormitory dressed up in new clothes. For some reason, they all wanted to look their best. “Qingtong, here apply some of my lipstick, your lips are too pale.”

“I want some too,” Ting Yuan also joined, “let me use it.”

“Sure,” Lin Yile was very generous, she let anyone who wanted to, use it.

Before Tang Yuxin could ask, Lin Yile looked at her, “You don’t need it, you’re fair, your lips are red, like you’ve drunk human blood, you don’t need any lipstick.” The others nodded in agreement.

Indeed, Tang Yuxin was naturally blessed and didn’t need any makeup.

And Tang Yuxin didn’t want any. After all, this was not a blind date, why dress up so nicely?

She was dressed plainly as usual. But even her plain look was adorned with a face that was naturally attractive, a feature that no amount of make-up could achieve.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Let’s go, let’s go,” Lin Yile pulling Tang Yuxin to her feet said, “Why, you want to take her with us as well? I warn you, if you dare to take her along, I will break off friendship with you. You know very well how much I hate her!”

And as to who “she” was, everyone knew. If not, the woman who always holed up in her bunk, picking a fight with them every single day.
