Chapter 21: Encounter with Song Linyuan
After telling the waiter to serve the dishes, Qin Qi went straight to the point. Seeing that he did not shy away from talking to Kong Nanzhu, Du Ran became more relaxed. She just wanted to convince Qin Qi that the photo incident had nothing to do with her.
Qin Qi: "Sister Ran, my sister is here on behalf of my parents. I hope you can explain to her the real situation behind the taking of those photos. "
Kong Nanzhu felt warm in her heart. She didn't expect that Qin Qi brought her here just to let Du Ran explain it to her in person.
Du Ran seemed to be very afraid of the Qin couple. After Qin Qi finished speaking, she explained everything to Kong Nanzhu, and it was exactly the same as what Qin Qi said.
She picked up her phone and sent a message to Qin Qi.
I believe what you said, there is no need to bring me to see her
Qin Qi typed a reply calmly under the table.
I want you to feel at ease
Kong Nanzhu looked at the words on the screen, the corners of her mouth rising uncontrollably. She finally tasted the sweetness of their conversation.
Qin Qi served Kong Nanzhu a bowl of soup. "The chef of this restaurant was invited from Suzhou. His Wensi soup is the most famous."
Kong Nanzhu took a bite and found it delicious.
"This lion head is also his signature dish."
"Try the pork ribs with preserved plum sauce."
There was a small mountain of food in Kong Nanzhu's bowl. Qin Qi's sudden care and concern warmed her heart. In return , she kept picking up food for Qin Qi.
"Eat more."
"I want to control my weight, so you eat more."
"Then eat more food."
Du Ran: “…”
You siblings have a good relationship but you don't have to choose this moment to show it.
Finally, when Du Ran cleared his throat for who knows how many times, Kong Nanzhu stood up and said he was going to the bathroom, giving the two a chance to talk alone.
After leaving the box, she couldn't help but call Xu Qingqing to share her experience. She lowered her head to type and didn't pay attention to the road, and almost got together with someone else at the corner.
The other party was three tall men in suits. The man walking in front turned sideways and politely asked Kong Nanzhu to go first.
"Sorry." Kong Nanzhu raised his head, apologized, then lowered his head and was about to leave.
"Sister Nanzhu?"
A familiar voice sounded, Kong Nanzhu turned around and saw Song Linyuan's brilliant smile. "It's really you. What a coincidence that we meet here."
The man walking in front looked at Kong Nanzhu with interest, "Lin Yuan, do you know him?"
Song Linyuan was wearing a standard four-piece suit, but his hairstyle was still unrestrained. His flamboyant bangs were not tied into a braid, but were casually pulled to the back of his head with hair oil. The neatness revealed a hint of casualness, a hipster and laziness, and he also wore a silver cross earring on his left ear.
"Of course I know him. This is my master!" Song Linyuan wanted to leave the other two people aside. "You go back first. I want to talk to my master."
Kong Nanzhu originally just wanted to hide out and was not really in a hurry to go to the bathroom. Song Linyuan enthusiastically invited her to the leisure area for a drink, and she was embarrassed to refuse.
Kong Nanzhu's fear instinct took over and he became very restrained. Meeting netizens in person is not as comfortable as chatting online.
However, Song Linyuan acted as if they were already good friends and called him "Master" warmly.
"I didn't agree to be your master, so don't yell."
Song Linyuan was anxious. The young man was actually acting like a spoiled child in broad daylight. "Sister Nanzhu, please, promise me that we can live stream together. Your fans will increase a lot. It's too boring to live stream alone without you. My greatest pleasure every day is to wait for you to live stream together in the evening. I only agreed to go out for dinner with them after seeing that you asked for leave tonight."
Kong Nanzhu knew the background of this club. Anyone who could come here to eat must not be an ordinary person, otherwise they wouldn't even be able to get a reservation.
Coupled with Song Linyuan's lavish spending on gifts before, Kong Nanzhu couldn't help but start to speculate about his identity.
"Aren't you rich? Why do you have to be a host?"
Song Linyuan sighed, "It's interesting. It can kill time and make money. This is simply my ideal job."
"Will your family agree?"
“They don’t care about me.”
"Being an anchor is fun, but you'd better discuss it with your family. Don't let a whim ruin your best time to find a job after graduation."
Song Linyuan's desire to be a host has something to do with her. If she ruins his bright future, won't his parents blame her for it?
Song Linyuan showed a cynical attitude on his face: "What I want to do is my own business. My father has only one request of me, that is, don't go out and cause trouble for him."
Kong Nanzhu's cell phone rang and Qin Qi called her, probably to urge her to go back.
"Let's chat in the live broadcast room tomorrow night. I'm going to go back to eat first. Your friends are probably still waiting for you."
Song Linyuan, "How about you ask for a day off from your fans tomorrow night? The guy you almost bumped into just now has just opened a new bar in Wudaokou, and he asked us to go and liven up the atmosphere."
Kong Nanzhu had never had any interest in places like bars, let alone going there with a person of the opposite sex whom she had just met once in real life.
"No, go and have fun. My husband rarely comes back from a business trip, so I have to stay at home with him."
Song Linyuan's eyes almost popped out of their sockets when he heard this, "Husband?! Are you married?!"
The phone kept ringing. Kong Nanzhu didn't want to keep Qin Qi waiting for too long, so he waved goodbye and said, "I'm going back first."
Song Linyuan was left alone sitting in the messy tea area.
After entering the box, the young men at the table all looked at Song Linyuan with teasing eyes.
The man who almost collided with Kong Nanzhu in the corridor just now sat in the main seat, "Lin Yuan, is that beautiful woman just now an artist from your father's company? Why haven't I heard you mention her before?"
Song Linyuan stopped laughing and changed his lively and sunny image in front of the live camera. He looked indifferent, as if he didn't take anyone seriously. Facing the teasing of the crowd, he turned a blind eye and pulled out a chair to sit down with lack of interest.
Picking up the wine glass, the amber color highlighted the spiciness of the liquid, but he drank it all in one gulp as if it were boiled water, without even frowning.
Others seemed to be used to his indifferent attitude and asked with interest, "Why are you still talking to me when I'm depressed? Brother Deng said she's a top-notch beauty. Seeing you look like you didn't get the chance to eat meat, I'm curious, how beautiful she must be to make you, Mr. Song, lose your mind."
This group of second-generations hang out together, just eating, drinking , having fun and looking for women. It's nothing more than normal. When Song Linyuan heard him talking about Kong Nanzhu in such a frivolous tone, he felt inexplicably irritated, "Don't talk nonsense, they are just friends, and they are married."
The man in the main seat was also stunned. "Married? I thought she was about your age."
About the same age. Song Linyuan remembered that Kong Nanzhu’s personal profile showed his age as 24.
Seeing that he didn't want to talk any more, the others stopped trying to make things boring. However, the person at the main seat who was called Brother Deng didn't intend to end the topic easily. "She is not your master in any sense of the word. Your Sanda coach is a world champion, and your piano teacher is a doctoral supervisor at the Central Conservatory of Music. Who can you call a master?"
Song Linyuan sneered, "It's a pity that he is still unwilling to accept me as his apprentice."
