Chapter 437 - The First Song of Qin (10) (2/2)

Tang Jinchen appeared to have been enraged for he growled in a low voice, “Where is he better than me?!”

“Everywhere.” Qiao Qian’qian enunciated.

“Qin Ge, over here!” Qiao Qian’qian suddenly called out.

Shi Sheng tightened her grip on her spoon and turned to look in the direction of the entrance.

Qin Ge had just entered. Hearing Qiao Qian’qian’s voice, he lifted his head slightly and frowned. His gaze then swept to Shi Sheng, who was sitting at a table next to them. His frown deepened.

Shi Sheng looked at him expressionlessly.

For some reason, Qin Ge felt guilty. It came out of nowhere.

‘What am I being guilty for? I’m not guilty! I’m not even that well acquainted with her!’

After re-adjusting his mindset like this, Qin Ge walked towards Qiao Qian’qian.

When passing by Shi Sheng, his peripheral gaze swept over her. Her head was lowered. She was scooping up the dessert on her plate and delivering it to her mouth. She wasn’t looking at him.

Only once he walked past her did Shi Sheng set her spoon down forcefully against the table, making a crisp clinking sound.

Qin Ge’s body trembled. He wanted to immediately turn around and leave. But Qiao Qian’qian had already gotten up and interlocked his arm with hers.

“Junior Tang, my boyfriend’s here to fetch me. Thank you for treating me.”

“Qiao Qian’qian!” Tang Jinchen’s eyes turned red at the edges.

Qiao Qian’qian shot him a slight smile, before leaving with Qin Ge in tow. “C’mon, let’s go. Did your class end late today?”

“En.” Qin Ge nodded slightly.

On the way out, he especially checked out Shi Sheng’s seat, but it was already empty. He hadn’t noticed when she left.

Qin Ge suddenly felt a bit frustrated. But when he exited the shop, he saw her standing outside.

She was on the phone, making a call, her expression a bit lax. The person on the other end said something that caused her lips to tug into a smile.

Qiao Qian’qian was in a rush to leave, so she didn’t notice Shi Sheng.

Qin Ge had driven here, so the two got into his car. He subconsciously looked in the rear-view mirror.

She’d already hung up and was currently looking in his direction.

The guilt intensified. This feeling had come out of nowhere and swept him up. It was as if he’d done something to let her down.

But he wasn’t even familiar with her…

Qin Ge hurriedly started up the car. Her figure gradually grew smaller and vanished from view.

But that didn’t cause Qin Ge to feel relieved.

He felt like he might be possessed.

……

Shi Sheng put the phone back to her ear. “…I’ll return to school in a bit… I’m not your babysitter… Fine, seeing as you’ve complimented me.”

Shi Sheng hung up and turned around to head back inside.

She ordered a few dishes and asked them to package it for takeaway.

While they were doing that, Tang Jinchen walked past her with a dark face. He walked a few steps before doubling back.

“Qiao Chu?”

Shi Sheng, “…” ‘What? I(bbb) don’t remember provoking you!’

Tang Jinchen continued, “Be my girlfriend.”

His tone was very overbearing, as if he was merely informing Shi Sheng, not asking for her opinion.

Shi Sheng, “…” ‘Have you gone crazy from the FL’s actions?’

“Miss, your takeaway is ready.” The waitress brought her order over.

Shi Sheng took it from her. She then tugged her lips into a smile directed at Tang Jinchen. “Not interested.”

“You’re rejecting me?!” Tang Jinchen had an expression of disbelief.

“You can just take it as me trying to catch your attention.”

Tang Jinchen, “…”
