Chapter 41: The Cannon Fodder in a Dogblood Novel (41)
Qin Yizhou?
Shen Tangqing frowned, completely unexpected that Qin Yizhou would be Qin Min’s cousin.
However, he wore women’s clothing at the banquet and put on makeup that even his own relatives wouldn’t recognize.
Qin Yizhou definitely wouldn’t recognize him.
Shen Tangqing silently withdrew his eyes again, pretending to be a quail on the side.
…
Qin Yizhou’s gaze swept over everyone in the private room like a falcon, finally landing precisely on Shen Tangqing.
A trace of undetectable surprise flashed in his eyes—
It’s him?
The next second, a trace of realization flashed past.
He hooked the corner of his lips silently, sighing again in his heart that Shen Tangqing had good methods.
Definitely wanted to approach him through Qin Min.
Even specially changed back to men’s clothing to attract his attention; truly interesting.
Qin Yizhou was really curious, who was the person behind the scenes? Where did they find such a man who fit his aesthetics so well to seduce him?
Seeing Qin Yizhou didn’t speak, Qin Min spoke carefully again, “Cousin, please be seated first!”
Qin Min called him very affectionately. In fact, his family and Qin Yizhou’s family were already beyond three generations of separation, considered a small branch of the main family.
Qin Yizhou slowly withdrew his eyes and looked at Qin Min. “I’ll just sit anywhere. You don’t need to be so restrained.”
His voice was somewhat cold. Combined with that handsome and sharp face, his noble temperament was even more superior, suppressing the room to be a few degrees quieter.
Voice falling, he lifted his foot and walked in Shen Tangqing’s direction—
Then, in everyone’s surprised gaze, sat in the empty seat next to Shen Tangqing.
Shen Tangqing: …
He had specially sat in the position furthest from Qin Min and the others to eat in peace, so the seats on both sides of him were empty.
Now that Qin Yizhou sat next to him, he also became a focal point along with him.
After Qin Min reacted, he hurriedly followed to Qin Yizhou’s side. “Cousin, how can you sit here? Sit in the main seat and we’ll have two drinks?”
Qin Yizhou glanced faintly at Qin Min, his tone flat. “Won’t drink wine today.”
A light sentence made Qin Min not even dare to have the thought of urging him to drink.
He hurriedly smiled and continued, “Alright then, Cousin, you sit for a few minutes. I’ll ask the waiter to serve a new table of dishes.”
Qin Yizhou nodded slightly, considered agreeing to Qin Min’s words.
Although the dishes on the table hadn’t been touched much, Young Master Qin’s status was there; he absolutely couldn’t eat things “leftover” by others.
Qin Min hurriedly asked the manager to arrange a new table of dishes.
Soon, the waiters began clearing the plates swiftly.
Shen Tangqing’s gaze fell on that plate of cherry ribs from which he had only eaten one piece, feeling it was a pity in his heart. He actually liked eating it quite a bit.
…
Qin Yizhou aside seemed to lower his eyes listening to Qin Min speak, but in reality, his peripheral vision closely watched Shen Tangqing’s every move.
He thought Shen Tangqing would actively climb up to get close upon seeing him.
But he was destined to be disappointed.
Shen Tangqing’s eyes only held desire for food. From beginning to end, except for the initial curious glance, Shen Tangqing never looked at him again.
Qin Yizhou tapped his knee idly with his fingertips, hooking the corner of his lips in a playful arc.
Just felt Shen Tangqing’s move of playing hard to get was really interesting. Really treating him like a fish to catch?
He suddenly looked up at Qin Min. “What dish is that?”
Qin Min was stunned for a moment, completely unexpected that Qin Yizhou would suddenly pop out such a sentence. His gaze followed Qin Yizhou’s line of sight.
“Cherry ribs, this is one of their store’s signatures. Sweet and sour taste. Cousin want to taste?”
Qin Yizhou raised his chin. “Serve a portion.”
“Okay, I’ll go instruct them right away.”
Qin Min eagerly ordered the manager again.
…
Since Qin Yizhou arrived, the atmosphere in the room wasn’t as hot as before.
Although Qin Min euphemistically introduced that Qin Yizhou was his cousin.
But regarding other things, except for Chen Lei present who knew some, the others weren’t clear.
However, this didn’t hinder their curiosity about Qin Yizhou.
All secretly observing this man sitting on the chair with a cold expression.
The aura was too strong; they didn’t even dare to go up and climb connections.
When Qin Min sat back down again, Qin Yizhou swept a glance at everyone and spoke faintly, “Tell your friends to be at ease, no need to be restrained because of me.”
“Oh, okay…”
Qin Min looked at everyone. “Everyone drink what you should drink, chat what you should chat. Dishes will be served immediately.”
Just as the voice fell, the private room door was pushed open. The waiter brought in the freshly brewed tea.
Qin Min stood up and personally poured a cup of tea for Qin Yizhou.
“Cousin, I’m especially happy you could come sit for a while today. I’ll drink wine, you drink tea. I toast you a cup.”
Qin Yizhou glanced at him, didn’t say polite words, just nodded and raised the tea in front of him to clink lightly with him.
Soon.
Waiters began serving dishes one after another.
Qin Min asked the waiter to place the cherry ribs Qin Yizhou specially ordered in front of him.
“Cousin, taste how the flavor is?”
Qin Yizhou picked up his chopsticks and put a piece on his own bone plate.
Seeing Qin Yizhou move his chopsticks, others began to eat, but the atmosphere in the room could never return to the casualness of before.
Qin Yizhou put down his chopsticks after eating one bite.
His taste was picky; he never liked this kind of sweet and sour taste.
Just now, it was only because he saw Shen Tangqing’s gaze linger on this dish for a few seconds that he opened his mouth.
Silently turned this dish in front of Shen Tangqing.
Shen Tangqing was stunned for a second, looking up at Qin Yizhou.
His expression was calm, making it impossible to tell his mood. He was holding a teacup drinking slowly, the line of his profile appearing particularly sharp under the light.
Regarding Qin Yizhou’s “unintentional act,” Shen Tangqing was naturally happy.
With this dish in front of Qin Yizhou, he was embarrassed to turn the table.
He picked up a piece of rib and lowered his head to eat. The sweet and sour sauce wrapped around the soft and tender meat; the texture was very good.
Qin Yizhou’s peripheral vision fell on his bulging cheeks, the corner of his lips hooking into a very faint arc, even the coldness around him dissipating a few degrees.
Didn’t move his chopsticks much again.
Leaning against the back of the chair, seemingly listening calmly to Qin Min and the others chat, but in reality, his attention was on Shen Tangqing all night.
Seeing Shen Tangqing finally put down his chopsticks.
Qin Yizhou silently sat up straight.
Full now, should start climbing connections with him, right!
As a result, he waited for several minutes.
Shen Tangqing still made no move, leaning back in the chair and lowering his head to scroll on his phone.
Qin Yizhou: …
Something’s wrong!
Is this person waiting for me to take the bait voluntarily?
On what basis is he so confident I will definitely take the bait?
Qin Yizhou, who usually didn’t show his feelings, was really a bit broken at this moment.
Does this person have professional ethics? Simply not playing by the rules.
He lowered his eyes, long eyelashes covering the strange look in his eyes.
After a moment of silence, decided to attack actively!
Enemy doesn’t move, I move! He wants to see what tricks this person is actually playing!
Qin Yizhou pulled a cigarette from the box, held it in his mouth.
Turned his head to look at Shen Tangqing beside him, lowering his voice, “Student, can I borrow a light?”
Shen Tangqing was stunned for a second. Looking up, his gaze met Qin Yizhou’s in a deep stare.
Before he had time to speak, Qin Min aside, who was always paying attention to Qin Yizhou, hurriedly took his own lighter. “Cousin, I have a lighter, I’ll light it for you.”
Qin Yizhou: …
Thing with no perception!
