193: An acquaintance?

An acquaintance?

"Are you guys implying that I am old?" Xi Ting's face was extremely dark.1

"Yes!"

"No!"

The little guy and Xi Jung answered at the same time.

Hearing his son's affirmation, Xi Ting was completely infuriated. A cold air spread across the room making Xi Jung shiver.

His brother's reaction made Xi Jung realize that he had misspoken earlier. 'Oh god! Will I be able to survive this calamity?' He thought to himself.

To salvage the situation, Xi Jung explained hurriedly, "Brother, we don't mean anything like that. It's just that Qin Yan is very outstanding and it's normal for guys to covet her. If you don't declare your sovereignty, there is a chance that someone will definitely try to pursue her."

Xi Ting listened to his younger brother and felt that he made sense. He let go of the fact that his brother and son were calling him old and said firmly, "Okay then, we will visit Beijing University tomorrow itself."

The little bun's eyes lit up. 'Yay, I will get to visit Sister Yan!' he exclaimed in his mind.

The next day, after her classes, Qin Yan went to the cafeteria and met up with Han Jun. The three friends Qin Yan, Han Jun and Qiao Qing would have lunch together whenever possible.

But from last few days, Qiao Qing was not present with them. When asked about what happened, she had told them that she was busy in some family issues. The duo didn't mind and reminded her to look for them if there is any problem.

Han Jun and Qin Yan thus went to the cafeteria without Qiao Qing. As usual, after taking the lunch, they sat on a table to enjoy the food.

Qin Yan was a gorgeous beauty. Even without makeup she looked stunning. Similarly, Han Jun was a very handsome guy. Also because he was born in a reputed family, he naturally possessed a lofty and mighty aura around him.

Their appearances gathered a lot of attention from the other students. Some of them even thought that these two might have something going on.

Qin Yan and Han Jun were used to the stares. Being good looking, they had people gazing at them almost all the time. So now they had gotten immune to it.

"How are you coping with your studies?" Qin Yan asked Han Jun.

"I am fine, boss," Han Jun replied respectfully.

"Good, don't let me down. If you have any difficulties, you can look for me. I will try my best to help you," Qin Yan said to Han Jun.

"Yes!"

As both the friends were talking, they saw a person with a lunch plate coming towards their table. Both Qin Yan and Han Jun were surprised. The girl looked delicate and charming.

"Qin Yan, hello," Zhuang Yu stood next to Qin Yan, "Can I sit here?" she asked hopefully.

Qin Yan nodded calmly.

Seeing Qin Yan nod, Zhuang Yu was overjoyed. She sat beside Qin Yan, "Thank you! It's good that you have just started eating now! Otherwise, like last time, I wouldn't get opportunity to interact with you," Zhuang Yu said sadly remembering her last meet with Qin Yan.

"Yes, we have just started eating now," Qin Yan was not a good talker to unknown people, so she did not say much.

Zhuang Yu was not affected even a bit by Qin Yan's lack of response. She continued speaking while eating, "How are you adjusting in the campus? I am really not used to this. I really miss home.. Don't you miss your family? I wish to return back. Although my roommates are very good, I have still not adjusted to this atmosphere..."

Zhuang Yu kept chattering while Qin Yan replied in one or two sentences.

Han Jun was speechless seeing the scene. He couldn't believe how this little girl could speak so much to a stranger and that too this continuously. It seemed that this girl really liked Qin Yan. She had almost told everything going on with her to Qin Yan.

The surrounding students looked at the two campus beauties in surprise. Usually, the beauties were to be each other's competitions and eventually rivals. But their interaction didn't seem like enmity. On the other hand, the two seemed to be getting along with each other.

As their lunch was getting over, Zhuang Yu looked at Qin Yan hesitantly.

Qin Yan feeling the gaze turned to Zhuang Yu, "Is there anything on my face?"

Zhuang Yu waved her hands in denial, "No, no!"

"Then what's the matter?" Qin Yan asked calmly.

"Umm, Qin Yan, I wanted to ask you something," Zhuang Yu's hesitation did not lessen.

"Ask away!" Qin Yan did not have any fluctuation in her expressions.

"Ummm, Qin Yan, I wanted to ask..," Zhuang Yu paused, "Can you be my friend?"

Qin Yan and Han Jun looked at Zhuang Yu together. 'Is this what she wanted to ask? Why hesitate so much for asking for this? Moreover after speaking continuously to an unknown person the whole time, you still hesitate to ask this! What a weirdo!' Han Jun thought.

Qin Yan smiled at Zhuang Yu before extending her hand towards the latter, "Sure!"

Zhuang Yu immediately shook Qin Yan's hand before almost hugging her, "Thank you, Yan Yan!" Her happiness was evident on her face.

Qin Yan and Han Jun were not surprised at Zhuang Yu's change of addressing Qin Yan. Till now they had understood that she was an outgoing girl. Both of them looked at each other and smiled.

Qin Yan also exchanged her contact number with Zhuang Yu now that both of them were friends. The surrounding onlookers were shocked. They could not believe that two potential rivals had turned into friends. But the truth of the situation was in front of their eyes.

The lunch ended on this note.

Zhuang Yu and Qin Yan had to return to the medical school while Han Jun had to return to his department.

Qin Yan walked with Zhuang Yu while listening to the latter's chattering. When they were about to reach their department, Qin Yan looked up and saw a familiar figure. She couldn't help but be stunned.

"Wait a moment," she said to Zhuang Yu while stepping forward, "I think I've met someone I know. You return to the class. I'll take a look."

Zhuang Yu wanted to say something, but she could only watch as Qin Yan quickly walked quickly and disappeared from her sight.

On the other side, a tall man was looking ice-cold with a hint of inhumanity. The girl beside him had a slim figure. She was shy and timid in front of the man. She said, "There's a concert later, do you want to go together?" The girl clearly had a crush on the man. She invited him, "I happen to have two tickets."

Shen Yong lowered his eyes and looked at the girl. A hint of disgust flashed across his eyes. These women were all the same. They were not his type at all! However, when he thought of the benefits that he could get, he had no choice but to pretend that he was interested! 

Shen Yong clenched his fists tightly. He could not help but feel a little humiliated. He frowned in his heart, but his expression softened a little. He said in a low voice, "Of course, it's my pleasure to be able to attend the concert with you, Qing Qing."

"That's great!" Qiao Qing smiled without hiding her joy. She said, "I don't have many friends here in the capital. It's great that you can be with me, Brother Yong."

"I think nobody would be able to reject a darling like you, Qing Qing," Shen Yong lowered his eyes and said calmly. "If you are bored in the future, you can come and look for me anytime."

"Really? Won't I disturb you?" Qiao Qing's face got even brighter as she said that. She smiled shyly and said, "I am so lucky to have you in my life! Thank You for always being there with me, Brother Yong!" Qiao Qing was truly grateful to Shen Yong for everything.

Hearing Qiao Qing, Shen Yong turned a little impatient. He wished that he could leave this place as soon as possible, but he had no choice but to suppress his temper, "You deserve it, Qing Qing!"

From the moment they met, Shen Yong's expression had been cold and stern. Standing tall and charismatic, his appearance could be considered top-notch. He was the perfect image of a tyrant. Qiao Qing was very satisfied with her boyfriend. What was even more surprising was that Shen Yong had no issue with the scar on Qiao Qing's face.

Qiao Qing blushed after listening to Shen Yong. She nudged her boyfriend shyly.

Shen Yong frowned. He didn't like Qiao Qing even a little bit. He liked someone who was beautiful, pure, charming, and needed to be cared for. He didn't like someone as ugly as Qiao Qing. How could she deserve someone as outstanding as him!
