Chapter 943: 684 Next Time (Requesting Monthly Pass!)_3

"No, but I can guess that your childhood must have been fascinating."

"Yes, it was really fun back then. My brother, Brother Tie Jun, and Sister Fang Qing..."

Hong Xiaoyu stopped, suddenly feeling like he might have said something wrong again. Luckily, the other person was busy ordering and didn’t notice.

"...I still don’t know your name."

He shifted the topic rather abruptly.

"Ai Qian."

"I’m Hong Xiaoyu."

Ai Qian smiled slightly and continued to write down her order, head lowered. Then she handed the menu to Hong Xiaoyu, "I’ve finished ordering, you take a look."

Hong Xiaoyu took it and politely asked, "Would you like a drink?"

The other party was generous. "I can only drink one bottle."

"Me too."

Hong Xiaoyu added two bottles of beer.

Since there was a friend around, Tie Jun didn’t come over to talk; he just joined them for a drink when he brought out the food.

"The taste is not bad."

"You and my brother have similar tastes; you both like spicy food."

Hong Xiaoyu lifted a disposable plastic cup.

"Cheers," Ai Qian clinked glasses with him. It was lucky that Wei Chuyin wasn’t there, or she would have been nagging too.

The cold drink went down, soothing the needle-like pain in his joints.

Ai Qian exhaled, "It’s been a long time since I’ve enjoyed food like this."

Hong Xiaoyu looked surprised, "Not even at East Sea Barbecue?"

Ai Qian couldn’t help but laugh.

"Of course they have it, but big city fare really can’t compare to the food in small towns."

"Mhm!"

Hong Xiaoyu nodded emphatically, sharing the sentiment. "I feel the same way! I went to school in River City, and the cafeteria food was terrible, especially breakfast, so bad that..."

He almost let out a swear word.

"Sister Ai Qian, how did you and my brother... break up?"

As they ate and talked, Hong Xiaoyu couldn’t restrain his overwhelming curiosity any longer.

"Why don’t you go ask your brother?"

Hong Xiaoyu fell silent.

How could he dare to ask about such a topic?

"Your brother and I breaking up was his good fortune."

Hong Xiaoyu didn’t understand the meaning, but the other person had already lifted their cup.

He could only accompany her.

After dinner, it was already dark, and the stars were thick overhead.

Even though Ai Qian had insisted on treating him, Hong Xiaoyu still snuck away to pay the bill under the guise of going to the bathroom. But Tie Jun wouldn’t take his money and gave them a complimentary meal.

"This hotel is not bad; it has a good value for money."

Hong Xiaoyu walked Ai Qian to the entrance of a chain hotel near the East Gate.

"Yeah, I’ll stay here. Thank you for today."

Ai Qian thanked him again.

"Sister Ai Qian, how long do you plan to stay in Sha City?"

"I’m leaving tomorrow."

Hong Xiaoyu was taken aback. "Didn’t you just arrive?"

"I don’t have much time, and I’ve already seen what I needed to see."

Of course, Hong Xiaoyu wouldn’t understand the meaning of this; he just assumed it was because she had to work.

"Alright then, you’re welcome to visit again."

Next time.

Ai Qian smiled but didn’t pursue the topic, offering her hand instead, "It was nice to meet you."

Hong Xiaoyu also raised his hand and they shook hands; he said, somewhat shyly, "Sister Ai Qian, you’re making me not know what to say."

"You’ve got to be more confident, boy. That’s something you could learn from your brother."

Ai Qian let go of his hand, "Go on back now."

"Then, Sister Ai Qian... goodbye."

Ai Qian gave a small smile.

"Goodbye."

Just as Hong Xiaoyu turned around and reached the roadside, about to hail a cab, a voice came from behind.

"Can you do me a favor?"

Hong Xiaoyu turned around.

"Don’t tell your brother about today, and don’t mention that you saw me."

Hong Xiaoyu was stunned.

"If you promise me that, I’ll treat you to a big meal next time we meet."

Ai Qian’s smile was bright.

Hong Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment but eventually nodded slowly.

"Okay."

"Take care."

With a smiling wave, Ai Qian turned and walked into the hotel, step by step.
