Fu Chen and Jing Hanchuan’s eyes met, and swords clashed. At this moment, Duan Linbai rushed out from the side…

“Third Fu, you’re finally here.” Duan Linbai was so frightened earlier that he had hidden.

Jing Hanchuan flirting? The scene was simply horrifying, comparable to a horror movie. If he had appeared, Jing Hanchuan would have definitely shot him to death with his eyes.

Fortunately, Fu Chen came.

Otherwise, he would definitely suffocate to death if he kept hiding.

“Since everyone is here, let’s hurry up and eat.” Fu Sinian had returned from accompanying Yu Manxi for a walk. The group walked toward the private room.

Xu Yuanfei was the least familiar with them. As the host, Yu Manxi naturally had to take care of her. She accompanied her all the way to the front, and on her other side was Song Fengwan.

“Wanwan, is summer vacation soon?” Yu Manxi asked casually.

“Yes, I’ve been preparing for the CET6 exam recently, and I still have to prepare for my finals, so I’m very busy.” At this moment, all classes at Beijing University had already stopped, and it was time to review for exam week. Next week, the various universities would start their exams one after another, and all the schools would be on summer break starting in early July.

“No wonder I haven’t seen you much recently.”

Song Fengwan smiled. Speaking of which, time flew by fast. After the summer vacation, she would be in her second year of university.

“Miss Xu, what have you been busy with recently?” Yu Manxi looked at the person beside her.

“The weather was good, so I went out to play.”

“I saw your friend. Is he your boyfriend?” Song Fengwan’s question made the four men following closely behind look at Jing Hanchuan in unison.

A certain someone was walking leisurely without a change in expression.

“No, he’s my younger brother. I don’t have a boyfriend yet.” Xu Yuanfei’s heart was in her mouth, and she was inexplicably nervous.

Thinking that Jing Hanchuan had a girlfriend, she felt it was really unreasonable for him to be so close to her.

“Ohhh…” Song Fengwan dragged out and smiled evilly.

“Everyone seems to have a good relationship. Do you meet up regularly?” Xu Yuanfei smiled and changed the topic.

“We’ll meet if we’re free.”

“Do you bring your partners?”

“If we have one, we’ll definitely bring them,” Yu Manxi replied casually. She only thought that she was worried about them teasing her and deliberately found another topic.

Xu Yuanfei was startled.

She had eaten with this group of people twice. Although Fu Chen and Song Fengwan didn’t publicize it, she could guess their relationship. Jing Hanchuan had always been alone, and no one had mentioned that he had a girlfriend or anything.

Yu Manxi’s answer meant that if he had a partner, he would bring them with him.

But her brother clearly said that he had a girlfriend, and he wouldn’t spout nonsense…

She didn’t dare to ask further. She was confused.

***

Everyone sat down, and Fu Sinian’s friends from the studio naturally sat next to each other. They already occupied half of the seats, and the remaining few people left empty seats for Jing Hanchuan and Xu Yuanfei.

Xu Yuanfei had no choice but to sit beside Jing Hanchuan.

Because they were congratulating Fu Sinian and Yu Manxi on moving to a new home, they would naturally toast them. Everyone was very familiar with each other, so there was no such thing as urging others to drink. It was just a token.

When the dishes were served, Xu Yuanfei’s eyes widened when she saw the waiter serve a large bowl of small lobsters.

Minced garlic, fragrant spices… These few flavors were mixed together, and just the smell of it made people’s mouths water.

After Yu Manxi became pregnant, she ate very carefully. She liked spicy food, but she had been afraid of stimulating her stomach, so she had avoided eating spicy food for a period of time. She didn’t expect that a while later, she would like to eat spicy food even more. She also liked to eat lobsters, but she didn’t dare to be greedy.

Fu Chen didn’t eat much. He almost always had his head turned to talk with Duan Linbai at the side. Seeing that Song Fengwan was about to put on gloves, he pulled them out of her hands. “I’ll do it.”

“Okay.” Song Fengwan subconsciously looked at everyone at the dining table.

Actually, everyone present knew about their relationship and had a tacit understanding.

“Slow down. Don’t get pricked.” Song Fengwan gulped greedily.

“Don’t worry about him. He’s been trained by his sister since he was a child. He’s good at handling lobsters and crabs.” Duan Linbai held back his laughter.

Everyone knew that Fu Wan liked to eat crabs.

“Hey, let me tell you something funny. You definitely don’t know this. When Third Fu and his brother-in-law first met… Mmph—!” Duan Linbai was about to speak when Fu Chen picked up the half-eaten chicken drumstick on his plate and stuffed it into his mouth.

“Eat your food!”

“Mmph—” Duan Linbai snorted coldly.

“What about their first meeting?” Song Fengwan’s curiosity was already piqued.

“It’s nothing. Eat the lobsters.” Fu Chen glared at a certain someone angrily, signaling him to shut up.

On the other side, Xu Yuanfei was staring at the lobsters, hesitating whether to eat any.

It was really not elegant to peel lobsters. At home, she had once eaten until her hands were covered in oil, and even her forearms had oil spots. With Jing Hanchuan here, she had to pay attention to her image. She gritted her teeth and got some of the plate of cold cucumber salad in front of her.

Jing Hanchuan elegantly put on a pair of disposable plastic gloves, rotated the turntable so that the lobsters were in front of him, took out a few, and placed them on a plate.

He usually cooked at home, so he handled the lobsters and removed the shells elegantly. Xu Yuanfei glanced at him from the corner of her eye and thought to herself that she had to order delivery when she got back and eat a few pounds of lobster.

While chatting with Fu Sinian from time to time, he deshelled the lobsters, dipped the meat in sauce, and placed it on a small white plate, but he didn’t touch it.

He deshelled more than ten lobsters, took off his gloves, wiped his hands, and quietly pushed the plate to her side.

Xu Yuanfei was dumbfounded. At this moment, everyone was talking, and no one seemed to notice her.

“…” She looked at Jing Hanchuan.

“You don’t want to eat?”

Xu Yuanfei wanted to reject him, but the temptation was too great. She blushed and thanked him.

She held her chopsticks and picked up some lobster meat, eating carefully.

She ate very slowly and chewed in small bites. It was as if she wasn’t eating lobster meat, and she didn’t know what it tasted like. It was clearly spicy, but there was a sweetness in her mouth.

It felt as if there were little deer antlers constantly bumping against her chest. Her heart was pounding like a drum, and her palms holding her chopsticks were slightly hot.

“Your hand is injured. It’s better not to peel lobsters. It’s easy to get infected,” Jing Hanchuan said softly.

Xu Yuanfei had just drawn a bow and shot arrows. Her palm was a little scratched, but there was no blood. She was not that delicate and didn’t care about it at all, but she didn’t expect him to notice.

Her heart felt sweet and bitter. Does he have a girlfriend?

She hesitated, but she still said in a low voice, “You’re very careful. Your girlfriend should be very happy with you.”

“People say that falling in love with me is fatal. No one dares to step into my house,” Jing Hanchuan said casually.

“You don’t have a girlfriend?” she asked.

“What do you think?” Jing Hanchuan didn’t answer her question directly, but his meaning was very clear.

Xu Yuanfei bit her lip and lowered her head, holding back her smile.

Jing Hanchuan shouldn’t lie about this kind of thing. There was no need for him to lie to her.

At this moment, her heart felt like it was on a roller coaster soaring to the sky.

Xu Yao, just you wait.

Jing Hanchuan didn’t know why she suddenly smiled. I don’t think I said anything special.

…

After the gathering ended, a few of Fu Sinian’s friends wanted to find a place to sing and continue. Naturally, some wanted to go, while others didn’t.

“It’s getting late. I have to go home early, so I won’t be accompanying you.” Xu Yuanfei smiled and said goodbye to everyone.

“I thought you didn’t drive here. How are you going back?” Yu Manxi’s gaze landed on Jing Hanchuan. “Sixth Master is going back too. Why don’t you get him to send you back?”

“No need. We’re not going the same way. I called a taxi, and it’s already waiting at the entrance of the clubhouse.” Xu Yuanfei didn’t wait for Jing Hanchuan to speak and said goodbye to everyone before walking straight to the entrance of the clubhouse.

Duan Linbai nudged Jing Hanchuan’s arm. “Hey, why isn’t she letting you send her back? Does she not like you?

“What did you say to her when you were flirting? She might not like you at all.

“When a girl says that it’s not on the way, it’s a disguised rejection. She just doesn’t want you to send her back. Tsk—Little Sixth, you’re overthinking things. Besides, she clearly said that you were just her customer.”

Jing Hanchuan glanced at him. “It’s a pity I’m not good at sewing.”

“What?”

“Otherwise, I could thread a needle and sew up your mouth.”

Duan Linbai immediately shut his mouth obediently. F*ck, the girl doesn’t like you. Why are you venting your anger on me?

“Sixth Master, should we…” a Jing family member asked in a low voice, clearly asking if they should follow her.

“No need.” It was fine as long as she appeared.

At this moment, Xu Yuanfei had already jumped into her car. The driver was a middle-aged man in his forties. “Miss, you’re playing with fire.”

“I’m not.” Xu Yuanfei was almost certain that Jing Hanchuan didn’t have a girlfriend, and her mood improved a lot.

“If Master finds out, how will you explain it? Not to mention that you haven’t developed to that stage yet, even if you two start dating, he definitely won’t agree.”

“I can steal my household register,” Xu Yuanfei said half-jokingly.

The driver smiled bitterly. Did Miss’s head get damaged from being hit when she was a child?
