章 25: Girlfriend
編集者: Nora
"Winning a bet?" Qin Fen froze. A bad premonition bubbled to the surface of his heart.
"Yeah," the man placed a hand on Tian Tian's shoulders. A devious light flashed in his eyes, "My babe made a bet with me when she first met you back then. She bet that you could survive with your pitiful amount of money in this city. I didn't believe it, but in the end she won. This time she made another bet with me. She bet that you'd confess to her. Obviously, she won again."
What? Qin Fen looked, his whole body stiff, at the smiling Tian Tian lean on the man's chest. The pure smile suddenly became arrogant.
"Have you forgotten that I love to make bets?" Tian Tian still had the same laugh, but her voice sounded like it came from far away to Qin Fen. Every time he had met Tian Tian in the past, she would always mention something about betting. He was replaying memories in his mind at this moment.
"What are you betting?" The voice of a proud princess rang from behind Qin Fen, and a beautiful hand, akin to jade, hung from Qin Fen's shoulder. The familiar and beautiful cheeks appeared next to Qin Fen's face. "Darling, didn't you say that you're just giving a friend a gift and you'll be done quick? How long are you going to make me wait?"
Song Jia, the prettiest girl of Founding Central, had magically appeared by Qin Fen's side. She was a goddess that would make any other beauty be envious to the point of hate, and she intimately lay her head on Qin Fen's shoulder, completely stupefying Tian Tian and her boyfriend.
W-W-Where in the world did this beauty come from? The man next to Tian Tian felt as if his soul had flown out of his body.
"Huh...?" Qin Fen had yet to awaken from the series of events that just occurred.
"What's the matter? Not going to keep your word?" Song Jia came to Qin Fen's side, pulling his arm into her hands. She donned a cute girl's apperance and said, "You promised to take me to Hawaii for dinner tonight."
"Let's go~~" Song Jia practically dragged Qin Fen out of his seat. She snuggled cutely like a little bird within Qin Fen's chest, and stuck out her cute tongue toward the blinking Tian Tian and her boyfriend. "We won't disturb your world any longer. We're going to start our weekend date. See you next time."
Qin Fen was dazed as if he has lost his soul, but Song Jia dragged him out of McDonald's. He didn't even remember how he had walked into this 'high-grade' restaurant, and he didn't know what in the world he had ordered on the menu as well.
"Back to reality?" Song Jia waved her lovely hand in front of Qin Fen's face.
"I'm back," Qin Fen leaned weakly against the back of his chair. His face carried a hint of self-derision as he said, "I've heard of people having lost their love without being in a relationship of love. It seems like its true, and it just happened to me."
"Yeah," Song Jia fiddled with her hair. She spoke with no interest in comforting him, "It's a terrible tragedy."
"It really is a bit tragic," Qin Fen nodded lifelessly, "Thank-you."
"Just a thank-you?" Song Jia put her face close to Qin Fen's face. She used her beautiful eyes to observe Qin Fen's eyes at super close range, "A bit too simple, don't you think? I'm not satisfied at all. In no way is this thanks sincere."
"It seems to be...." Qin Fen subconsciously pulled some distance away from Song Jia. He thought very seriously for a moment, "However, you're very rich. Anything I do as thanks will probably be superficial to you."
Song Jia rolled her eyes at Qin Fen. She puted her lips like she was not content at all, "You really lack sincerity. I'm really not pleased...."
"God!" Qin Fen sighed, the pain in his smile lessening a bit, "Thank-you for doing this to lighten my mood a bit."
"You're just saying thanks, kay," Song Jia dragged a chair to Qin Fen's side. She looked at Qin Fen very seriously, "How about this? How about I be your girlfriend?"
Qin Fen sprayed out the entirety of the cold water he had in his mouth. He looked at Song Jia stunned, wondering whether or not she was joking around.
After a moment of shock, Qin Fen wiped the cold water from the edge of his mouth and smiled wryly, "Lady, I just had my heart broken."
"I know," Song Jia said, appearing to be very experienced. "So, now's a time when you really need someone to care for you."
"No need." Qin Fen shook his head, "I'm more used to finding a place to lick my own wounds."
"Just like a wolf...."
"I'm not that beastly, right?"
"Am I not as beautiful as that Tian Tian?"
"You're even more beautiful."
"Am I not as charming as that Tian Tian?"
"You're even more charming."
"Is my figure inferior to hers?"
"...." Qin Fen studied Song Jia up and down, observing the golden proportions of her figure. He gently shook his head, "It's even better."
"Then why can't I be your girlfriend?"
Qin Fen gently rubbed his head when faced with Song Jia's relentless pursuit. He secretly speculated just what sort of reaction Lin Liqiang would have if he was in this situation.
"Excellent! There's a hotel nearby. Let's communicate with each other on a deeper level, both spiritual and physical...."
This was the answer that Lin Liqiang, the messenger of love, would make, and it appeared within Qin Fen's mind.
Qin Fen shook his head hard, throwing this fellow's answer out of his mind.
It was better to think of what Enzo Rota would say. Perhaps Qin Fen could use it....
"...." Enzo Rota's expressionless appearance of a cool brother appeared within Qin Fen's mind.
It was only in this moment that Qin Fen discovered something about the friends around him. There seemed to be some problems with their personalities.
Song Jia's gaze grew hotter and hotter, while Qin Fen felt his headache become worse. He couldn't tell a girl that her family's status was too high. That her status was too high. That he could never be match for her.
Such an answer was way too unmanly! And Qin Fen didn't believe that status wasn't something that couldn't be obtained by hard work! Anything was possible! This was the truth Qin Fen firmly believed.
It was just that he went through the abnormal romance of having lost his love without being in a relationship of love. Qin Fen was on edge a bit; he was once bitten twice shy. Plus, it was impossible for one's love toward another to completely disappear to dust in the blink of an eye. Such a person was never truly in love.
"This.... I just had my heart broken. I need some time to adjust, don't you think?" Qin Fen awkwardly produced this answer.
"I'm not satisfied at all with this answer, but I can accept it," Song Jia rubbed her chin, looking like a workplace examiner. "Can I be your first choice once you feel one hundred percent?"
"Yeah," Qin Fen was not an idiot. The Lady Song beside him was rubbing her chin with one hand and wielding a steak knife with the other. If his answer was no, then only God knew what sort of bloodshed would occur in this restaurant.
"Finally a satisfactory answer," Song Jia's slowly loosened the grip on her knife. Qin Fen observed this motion before his eyes, and he mentally let out a breath of relief.
