Chapter 1453: You Are My Little Love Song (20)
s.h.i.+ Niange was still in a daze when she was brought into the crowded street near the school.
When she finally came back to herself, the temperature on her wrist had already left. She lowered her head to look at her hand, then raised her eyes to look at the boy with indifferent eyes. She saw that Qin Siting’s expression was much colder than before, and then he saw her dumbstruck expression. His handsome brows moved slightly, and then he looked at her wrist. It was the place he had held earlier.
“Is your hand stiff?” He watched as her hand remained suspended in mid-air and asked coldly.
s.h.i.+ Niange abruptly placed her hand down and blinked. “No.”
Qin Siting did not say more. He returned to look at the restaurants behind him. Most of the things on this street were suitable for students to buy. There were also quite a few restaurants of various sizes. Although they were not too luxurious, they could still find a clean restaurant. He said, “Didn’t you say you haven’t eaten? What do you want to eat?”
s.h.i.+ Niange looked at him. Her hand, which had just been placed down, quietly reached behind her back. She pinched her other hand to confirm that it really hurt. After confirming that everything was real, she quickly took the opportunity to say before Qin Siting became impatient or regretful, “Anything is fine!”
Qin Siting glanced at her thin figure under her school uniform and s.h.i.+fted his gaze away from the beef noodle shop behind her. He turned back to see a restaurant with stir-fried vegetables and walked over.
Under his silence, s.h.i.+ Niange understood what he meant and quickly followed him. After entering the shop, she saw that there were already two tables of students eating. However, the students from the other schools nearby did not know or interfere with them. Qin Siting walked to the side of the table where there were few people and was quiet. He placed his black shoulder bag down and looked back to see that she had quickly followed him. He signaled the waiter to hand her the menu.
When she received the menu, s.h.i.+ Niange was still in a daze.
Earlier, he had clearly rejected her. Why did he suddenly turn back and treat her to a meal without saying anything?
She raised her head to look at him. At this moment, Qin Siting’s phone rang with a pleasant ringtone. Not wanting to disturb him from answering the call, she quickly ordered two drinks and two light dishes from the waiter before letting him leave. She planned to ask him what he wanted to eat after he answered the call.
However, after ordering, she realized that Qin Siting did not pick up the phone.
The waiter had already walked away. When s.h.i.+ Niange sat down, she heard his phone ring again. Qin Siting sat down opposite her and took out his phone. She didn’t know if he had turned it off or if he had muted it. Before she could see clearly, she saw him throw his phone aside without looking at it.
“Aren’t you going to answer it?” s.h.i.+ Niange asked.
Qin Siting did not answer. He picked up the gla.s.s of lemonade the waiter had poured for him and took a sip. The handsome boy’s clean and well-defined fingers held the transparent gla.s.s. No matter how one looked at it, it was tempting.
Until he put down the gla.s.s, he did not seem to have any intention of answering her or answering the phone. s.h.i.+ Niange probably felt that he was not especially sincere in treating her to a meal. Earlier, the car had stopped in front of him and he suddenly turned back. Now that he was sitting here with her, he was probably just taking advantage of the situation.
It wasn’t appropriate for s.h.i.+ Niange to ask further. She could only pick up the cup in front of her and take a sip of water. This lemon water should have been freshly brewed this afternoon. It was also very sweet and sour, stimulating her taste buds, but it made her more awake and sure that this was not a dream.
“By the way, I only ordered two light dishes. I don’t know what flavor you like, so I didn’t order for you. Go tell the waiter what you want to eat. After all, we’ve already sat down. Even if it’s perfunctory, we can’t waste time. We have to eat dinner anyway,” s.h.i.+ Niange said softly.
She could sense that Qin Siting was not in a good mood. She did not know what was going on between the Qin family and his mother, so she could not ask around. She could only use other topics to distract him and relieve her own agitation and nervousness.
Qin Siting then glanced at her. “Even if you know it’s just for show, can you eat it with a clear conscience?”
“Why can’t I eat it? It’s your treat. I can even eat ten bowls.” s.h.i.+ Niange’s eyes were smiling. She was fearless and sincere.
Qin Siting snorted indifferently and beckoned for the waiter to come over. He took the menu and asked a few questions. After knowing that she had ordered a fish egg tofu and steamed crab soup, he ordered stir-fried prawns and kelp soup before asking the waiter to leave.
Seeing that he was serious about ordering and did not intend to continue patronizing her, s.h.i.+ Niange’s originally good mood brightened.
“I’ve never been to this restaurant, but I saw that the dishes recommended on the menu are all fish or seafood. Are you used to it?” Qin Siting asked.
“I’m used to eating seafood. Before my family moved to Hai City to do business, although we lived in an inland city, I liked to eat seafood and fish when I was young. Now that I live in Hai City, it’s fresher and more convenient to eat,” s.h.i.+ Niange said as she supported her chin with one hand on the edge of the table and looked at him. “You like seafood too?”
Qin Siting’s tone was mild. “I’m not picky. I randomly ordered two.”
“Oh.”
After she said ‘oh,’ the topic seemed to have stopped. She once again fell into an atmosphere of silence.
Qin Siting did not look at her. It was as though there was no one opposite him. Occasionally, he would drink his water, and at other times, he would quietly wait for the dishes to be served. He was quiet but happy.
Finally, when the dishes were served one by one, Qin Siting asked the waiter to bring her a bowl of white rice. s.h.i.+ Niange originally thought that there were a lot of dishes, but after seeing this bowl of rice, she instantly felt full. She raised her eyes to look at him and picked up her chopsticks to eat. Her appet.i.te was not big usually, and since she was young, her habits could not be said to be completely pampered, but she would not eat too much. Basically, she was seventy to eighty percent full. Now that this bowl was full, she knew without thinking that she would definitely be stuffed.
In the end, she really held on.
Qin Siting, on the other hand, was not in a rush to eat. He glanced at her again and saw that she was clearly full, but was still resisting the urge and kept shoving more rice into her mouth. The man’s beautiful lips were stained with an imperceptible smile. It flashed past, and he looked at her and asked, “Can you still eat?”
“En, I can.” s.h.i.+ Niange almost hiccuped when she said this. She held it in and took a sip of water.
Of course she could. Almighty Qin was treating her. Even if he really wanted her to eat ten bowls, she had to work hard!
Qin Siting watched her for a while and then ignored her. He picked up his chopsticks and continued eating.
