Chapter 438 - The First Song of Qin (11) (1/2)
Tang Jinchen chased Shi Sheng out. “You don’t like me?”
‘It’s not like you have an omnipotent attraction buff! Why should everyone like you?!’
Tang Jinchen felt a bit uncomfortable by Shi Sheng’s gaze that was like she was looking at an idiot.
“How are you related to Qiao Qian’qian?” Tang Jinchen changed the topic.
Back then, he’d heard her call Qiao Qian’qian “jiejie”, and they were both surnamed Qiao.
“Aren’t you the son of the school chairman?” Shi Sheng gave him an odd look. ‘He should be able to find out by just ordering someone, right?’
Tang Jinchen once again felt the contempt coming from Shi Sheng.
“You’re Qiao Qian’qian’s sister, aren’t you? Is she really dating Qin Ge?”
Tang Jinchen didn’t know if it was just him, but he suddenly felt the girl in front of him turn a bit off.
Shi Sheng flagged down a cab and entered it. She rolled the window down and spoke to Tang Jinchen, “If they really were dating, I’d kill them.”
Of course, that was under the assumption that Qin Ge was Feng Ci.
Tang Jinchen stared dumbly at the car that had already driven off.
……
Shi Sheng brought the takeaway to Chen Xi and gang. Their classroom was even more of a mess than it was last semester.
“Junior, you’re really too good! This is actually MY’s signature dish…”
MY was the name of that restaurant. Apparently, it was an abbreviation of the English words “Meeting You”.
“There’s meat to eat with junior.”
“Junior, help us check this program.” One of the seniors to the side pushed a laptop over to Shi Sheng.
She had some impression of him because he shared Chen Xi’s surname. His name was Chen Xiao and was already in Year 4. He was going to graduate soon. He should’ve been looking for a job around this time, but this project had delayed him.
“Hey, hey, enough guys! Chu-Chu isn’t here to work for you lot!” As her bro, Chen Xi naturally sided with her.
Chen Xiao snickered before waggling his eyebrows at Chen Xi. “C’mon, use all the resources at our disposal, right? Junior is so awesome, even Professor Qin admitted defeat.”
Shi Sheng didn’t say anything, merely taking the laptop from him to help them check. Once they’d finished eating, she set it down. “There aren’t any big issues. I’ve noted down the parts that need changing, so you guys can change it on your own.”
Shi Sheng pointed at a piece of paper on the table.
“Thanks, junior!”
They noisily crowded around the laptop.
Chen Xi walked to stand in front of Shi Sheng. “C’mon, I’ll walk you back. These beasts completely ignore people once they’re done with them!”
“Hey, hey now, Chen-gongzi[1]! Who do you think we’re doing it for? Don’t be an ingrate!” One of the seniors took the time to lift his head and retort to Chen Xi’s statement.
Chen Xi’s lips twitched. ‘I already told them so many times that Qiao Chu is just a bro to me…’
He walked Shi Sheng downstairs. He’d originally planned to walk her all the way back to her dorm, but she rejected it.
She still had something to do, so she’d have to head out again if she went there.
……
Nanshan International.
It was a high-end apartment complex. The houses here had soaring prices that only lowered slightly during the housing recession. But even then, the price of an apartment here wasn’t something an ordinary person could afford.
The security guard stood at the gates. Seeing someone approaching, he immediately straightened up. Recognising the person, the guard smiled and greeted, “Mr Qin, you’re back.”
Of course he’d have a deep impression of someone so handsome. Plus, he’d heard this Mr Qin was a professor at A University.
Qin Ge nodded slightly before flashing his card and entering.
“Mr Qin.” The guard called out to him.
The security guard advanced towards him a bit. “There was a young lady looking for you just now. You weren’t here, so we didn’t dare to let her in.”
“Did she say what her name was?” There shouldn’t be many people aware that he was staying here.
“No.” The guard shook his head. “I saw her head over there.”
The security guard pointed at a coffeeshop across the street.
