Chapter 179: 148 An occasional accelerated heartbeat isn’t necessarily... (2 more updates)_1

Bai Dingxian didn’t expect that Sun Qing’s visit this time was for his second brother, Bai Dingkai.

After listening to the conversation between the two, Bai Dingxian finally understood. She wasn’t here for his second brother either; she was here for the actor Qi Jiu.

Ha, at her age, still chasing after stars like a little girl, wanting an autograph in person and to take a photo with her idol.

How childish.

With such time, she doesn’t go and do more good deeds, accumulate some virtues for herself. Doesn’t she know that she has caused a lot of harm?

"Do you have a problem with your eyes tonight? Why do you keep rolling them upwards? Your scleras are too white, constantly rolling your eyes, it’s really scary, you know?" As the lamb soup was served, Lu Han ladled some snowy white lamb soup for Tang Su while teasing Bai Dingxian.

"I..." Bai Dingxian wanted to say that he should just take care of himself and his girlfriend and not always stare at him, "Forget it, I’ll go out for a smoke."

He really couldn’t stand that woman, Sun Qing, with such a heated, burning gaze fixed on the man in front of her.

These two people in front of him, the man a Sea King and the woman a Sea Queen; when they clashed, who would win and who would lose was actually quite interesting to watch. However, Bai Dingxian understood his second brother—Sun Qing would never be his target.

Bai Dingkai had always followed the principle of not eating the grass by his own burrow.

His saying was, "Come in peace, go in peace; the grass by the burrow is troublesome and hard to get rid of."

Sun Qing is Tang Su’s close friend after all, and besides, that woman wasn’t here for his second brother; she was here for that male celebrity. He didn’t need to worry about his second brother for her.

"What’s wrong with Doctor Bai? He seems to be in a bad mood today." Tang Su sipped her soup and ate her meat, thinking that since Bai Dingxian was Lu Han’s cousin, she might as well show some concern.

"Don’t mind him, it’s probably just some sort of disorder," Lu Han said as he helped her to another piece of charcoal-grilled lamb rib.

Tang Su: "..."

Who said that her Doctor Lu was so cold that he had no idea how to joke?

That was a completely wrong perception.

Clearly her Doctor Lu was so good at joking.

What disorder?

What kind of disorder could a man have?

In the chilly deep autumn, having a pot of lamb soup and a big plate of lamb makes one warm all over after eating and drinking.

With Sun Qing present, even if that disorderly Bai Dingxian occasionally rolled his eyes or interrupted with some dispiriting comments during the height of the conversation, it didn’t affect the main flow at all.

Bai Dingkai got along with Sun Qing; Sun Qing had read the novel "First Love," and Bai Dingkai asked her if Tang Su’s aura was similar to that of the novel’s heroine, Bai Qiao.

Sun Qing, who was looking at the novel, hadn’t really noticed this point. After all, as a reader, when the author uses words to describe the heroine, each reader probably imagines the heroine differently in their minds.

They had just talked about the character Bai Qiao, and Bai Dingkai had extracted some of the text to help Sun Qing remember.

Then, Sun Qing nodded, "President Bai, you’re actually right. There are some similarities in appearance, and moreover, our Su Su shares the same experiences as Bai Qiao. During her school days, she already had a crush on her male god."

"Sun Qing—" Tang Su was speechless, why did she have to bring that up?

She had a crush back then, but now her crush had become a reality, okay?

"Really? With that said, my cousin ranks third in Tang Su’s heart now, doesn’t he?" Bai Dingkai clicked his tongue twice. Good that he made it into the top three; if he had been any later, he probably wouldn’t have made it into the top five.

Today’s young girls are really amazing; despite their young age, they have quite rich experiences in love.

If one has too many romantic experiences, it really wouldn’t be possible to portray Bai Qiao.

After all, Bai Qiao is devoted from the start, falling for a top student during her school years, and for the rest of her life, she has been striving to get close to this top student.

Although it’s under the banner of love, it’s very inspirational.

Just like how schools and families nowadays fear their children having early romances, but is it the early romance itself they fear?

Not at all, because as people grow up, everyone has desires and emotions, which is all perfectly normal.

In ancient times, people married at the age of ten plus; in contemporary times, liking someone of the opposite gender at the age of ten plus is too normal, isn’t it?

Therefore, early romance isn’t scary; the adverse effects brought about by early romance are the true fears.

If every early romance, like in novels, turns an ordinary girl in terms of family and academics, through constant arduous effort out of love for a top student, into a female top student herself.

If later on, she also becomes very successful in her career, then who would still be afraid of their children having early romances?

Probably everyone would hope that their children go out and find an excellent top student to have a good romance with.

"Why would you think Doctor Lu ranks third in Tang Su’s heart, not the first?" Sun Qing was curious; did these brothers of his look down on Lu Han that much?

"Look, during her school days, Tang Su had a crush, he’s the first one. Before that, Tang Su had a boyfriend, and he’s the second one, right? Counting down, doesn’t my cousin Lu rank third?"

"One, two, three, the count isn’t wrong, but one and three are the same person." Sun Qing blinked her innocent eyes as she revealed the answer to Bai Dingkai.

"Ah?!"

Bai Dingkai was taken aback. He truly hadn’t expected that individual one and individual three were the same person.

Tang Su had fallen for Lu Han back when she was still in school?

What exactly was going on here?

Bai Dingkai looked at Lu Han with confusion, hoping for some answers. However, Lu Han had absolutely no interest in indulging him.

The experiences between him and Tang Su were their shared memories, why should they share them with an outsider?

While girls might indeed share such intimate topics when their friendship reached a certain level, no matter how deep the friendship between men, Lu Han didn’t have the inclination to share.

So, in the end, Bai Dingkai was left waiting in loneliness.

Bai Dingkai understood Lu Han’s temperament; if Lu Han didn’t want to talk, no amount of coaxing would get him to open his mouth.

Forget it, if he doesn’t want to talk, that’s his choice.

Anyway, as her brother, he was just worried for nothing.

He thought Tang Su wasn’t valuing him enough, but it turned out the girl valued him too much.

Heh, no wonder she was acting so proud and aloof.

After dinner, Lu Han went to pay the bill.

Once the bill was paid, Bai Dingkai sat in Sun Qing’s passenger seat; he had taken a cab there since the production crew had a vehicle, and he was too lazy to drive.

Bai Dingxian was planning to ride back with Lu Han like he did on the way there, but Bai Dingkai stopped him, "Hold on, Bai Dingxian, what’s with your mood tonight? The young lovers are being so affectionate with each other, and you want to be the third wheel in his car? Don’t you feel awkward?"

Bai Dingxian: "..."

Adhering to the principle that if he wasn’t embarrassed, it was the other people’s problem, Bai Dingxian was nonchalant.

Being a gleaming third wheel was better than being stuck in a car with someone like Sun Qing.

If he had known Sun Qing would be coming, he wouldn’t have scrimped on gas money by catching a ride with Lu Han.

"Fine, you guys go ahead. I ate too much meat anyway, I’ll take a walk to digest it."

"The wind is strong right now," Bai Dingkai raised an eyebrow.

"How strong can it be? I’ve had lamb soup and eaten lamb; it’s warm enough," Bai Dingxian then pulled his coat tighter around himself.

Behind them, Lu Han didn’t bother with their roadside chatter. After making sure Tang Su’s seatbelt was fastened, he drove off.

Tang Su even asked if they’re not waiting for Doctor Bai?

Lu Han casually responded with a "No need."

Starting from now, their life would have included an extra person like Bai Dingkai as a perpetual third wheel if Bai Dingxian had not been sensible enough to refrain.

For the little world that has only two people, he insisted on squeezing in.

Intent on being Lu Han’s most obedient and agreeable girlfriend, Tang Su cooperated fully with an "ohh," comfortably and rightfully following Lu Han away.

Watching Lu Han’s car speed away stylishly, Bai Dingkai laughed, "See that? That kid Lu Han never had any intention of letting you ride with him. Come on, get in the car. Sun Qing doesn’t mind giving you a lift."

"Heh, she might not mind, but I do. You guys go ahead," Bai Dingxian still refused.

Such rejection, such disdain; Sun Qing had almost forgotten about Bai Dingxian potentially disliking her due to their earlier conversation about her idol. Now, she was reminded again.

She turned off the engine, turned around to face him squarely, and asked seriously, "Doctor Bai, did I accidentally offend you at some point? You seem to really dislike me, and I honestly don’t remember. Could you remind me?"

"..."

Bai Dingxian had intended to say that it wasn’t just a semblance; he genuinely disliked her.

However, looking into Sun Qing’s innocent, clear eyes that resembled those of a deer, Bai Dingxian almost let his guard down for a moment...

Fortunately, Bai Dingkai lost his patience and warned him, "Bai Dingxian, man up. Are you getting in the car or not? If you don’t, I’m leaving you here."

"..."

In the end, Bai Dingxian got in the car without much of a backbone.

First, he was accustomed to saving money. Why would he take a cab and spend money when a free ride was available? It’s not as if he had banged his head against a wall or had water on the brain.

Secondly...

Forget it, an occasional quickening of the heart doesn’t necessarily mean that situation.
