Chapter 164: A Pair of Happy

"Mom, Qin Tian is going to Jiangcheng the day after tomorrow. Can I go with him?"

Xia Nuannuan brought up this matter.

"Go to Jiangcheng?"

Su Xia paused.

"Mm, he said he has something to do in Jiangcheng, and we plan to go check out Jiangcheng University while we're there."

"I see. That's fine, you two go ahead!"

"Thank you, Mom, I knew my dear mom was the best."

Xia Nuannuan was overjoyed and hugged her mother's arm, shaking it and acting spoiled.

"Alright, alright."

Su Xia couldn't help but smile and asked, "Are you coming back the same day?"

"I don't know, I didn't ask!"

Xia Nuannuan blinked and said.

"You!"

Su Xia was torn between laughter and tears. She raised her right index finger and pressed it against her daughter's forehead, saying seriously, "You can go have fun, but if you don't have time to return to Yucheng at night, you go find your dad and let him arrange your accommodation."

Although she had already accepted Qin Tian and they had met each other's parents, they had only confirmed their relationship a few days ago, and she didn't want her daughter to develop to that step with Qin Tian so quickly.

Things that are easily obtained are often not cherished.

This sentence didn't just refer to dating, nor was it only aimed at boys.

It was just that in the dating of young men and women, the probability of this happening with boys was indeed higher.

"Find Dad? Why?"

Xia Nuannuan was a bit reluctant.

Old Xia didn't really like Qin Tian, and without her mother there, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to handle the situation.

"What a silly girl."

Su Xia smiled bitterly and leaned into her daughter's ear to whisper something.

When the look of confusion on Xia Nuannuan's face faded, her pretty face turned red as fire in the blink of an eye.

"Mom, are you overthinking it? Qin Tian isn't that kind of person."

"I know, I certainly trust Xiao Qin's character, but this has nothing to do with character, understand? A young man and woman alone in a room, especially a young guy, it's very easy to lose control of oneself."

"I... he..."

Xia Nuannuan was so shy she was almost incoherent.

"Alright, just listen to me, Mom won't harm you."

"Alright, then... then I'll discuss it with Qin Tian."

"Mm!"

Su Xia nodded with satisfaction and changed the subject with a smile, "Then tell me about the situation at Xiao Qin's house today."

"Ah? There was no situation!"

"Just tell me what happened, hurry up."

"Oh!"

At 10:00 AM, Qin Tian first met up with Xia Nuannuan, and they took a taxi to the train station.

After sitting in the waiting area for about ten minutes, the two checked their tickets and entered the station, boarding the train to Jiangcheng.

Xia Nuannuan carried a pink backpack, while Qin Tian only brought his ID card, phone, and wallet, plus a USB drive for Wang Hao's aunt, which contained the clothing designs he had been working on during this time.

After the train started, Xia Nuannuan lowered the small table on the seat in front of her and opened her backpack to start taking things out.

Wangzai milk, White Rabbit creamy candies, beef jerky, beef cubes, a bag containing various washed fruits, and a can of cola...

"You packed so much, isn't it heavy to carry?"

Qin Tian teased with a smile.

"It's alright!"

Xia Nuannuan smiled and pointed to the pile of fruit and snacks on the table, asking, "What do you want to eat?"

"Beef cubes, I guess!"

Qin Tian replied casually.

Xia Nuannuan handed him the bag of beef cubes and the cola, while she ate a grape from the bag herself.

"So sweet!"

After praising it with a beaming smile, she took another one and held it to Qin Tian's mouth.

Qin Tian opened his mouth and ate it naturally, nodding and saying, "Mm, delicious!"

"Right?"

Xia Nuannuan smiled even more happily.

The two ate snacks and fruit, looking at the scenery outside the window and chatting.

The hour-and-a-half journey seemed to pass too quickly.

After packing up their things and walking out of the station with the crowd of passengers, both of them felt a sense of lingering attachment.

"In the future, during university summer or winter vacations, as long as we have time, let's take the train and travel together!"

Qin Tian proposed.

Xia Nuannuan's eyes lit up instantly, and she nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "Okay, okay, it's a deal then!"

"Mm."

Qin Tian responded with a smile and asked, "Where do you want to go most?"

A look of thought appeared on Xia Nuannuan's face, and she replied, "When I graduated from junior high, I went to the Imperial Capital with my parents, and when I was little, I went to Shanghai for a trip, and that's it. There are quite a lot of places I want to go, like going to Shancheng to eat hot pot, going to Qingdao to eat seafood, going to Huacheng to eat morning tea..."

"Why is your focus all on eating?"

Qin Tian couldn't help but laugh.

Xia Nuannuan paused, smiled embarrassedly, and said righteously, "Isn't the main point of traveling just to eat and drink? Just check in at those scenic spots and take some photos to prove you've been there, isn't that enough?"

"What you said... makes so much sense!"

"Right?"

"Mm, then in the future, we'll eat our way through the whole country, and then eat our way through the whole world, and be a pair of happy 'rice-scoopers'."

"'Rice-scoopers'? Pfft, that's an interesting term!"

Xia Nuannuan laughed happily.

"It's quite vivid, right?"

"Mm-hmm!"

The two chatted and laughed as they checked their tickets and left the station.

Last night, he had played games with Wang Hao and told him about coming to Jiangcheng today.

However, this time Qin Tian didn't ask him to drive over to pick them up; he planned to treat Zhao Mingyuan to a meal first and then go check on the situation at the internet cafe in the afternoon.

After coming out of the station exit, Qin Tian took out his phone and called Zhao Mingyuan.

"Hello, Xiao Qin!"

Zhao Mingyuan's deep voice came through.

"Brother Zhao, I've arrived in Jiangcheng. Where are you now? I'll take a taxi over."

Qin Tian said directly.

"Already arrived? So fast? Okay, okay, I'm at the internet cafe on the pedestrian street. Give me a call when you arrive, and I'll come find you."

Zhao Mingyuan agreed hurriedly.

Before coming to Jiangcheng, Qin Tian had also called Zhao Mingyuan. Zhao Mingyuan had originally wanted to come to the station to pick them up, but with three internet cafes about to open, there was simply too much preparatory work to do.

"Alright, I'll hang up then!"

"Mm!"

After hanging up, Zhao Mingyuan quickly sent his location.

Qin Tian led Xia Nuannuan out of the station, hailed a taxi on the side of the road, and asked the driver to take them to the pedestrian street.

"That's the owner of the internet cafe where we used to go online; you've met him."

After getting in the car, Qin Tian explained to Xia Nuannuan.

"Mm, I remember."

Xia Nuannuan nodded, looking at him with a puzzled gaze.

"I'm collaborating with him on a business venture, opening three internet cafes in Jiangcheng. They're about to open now, and the main purpose of coming to Jiangcheng this time is to check on the situation."

Qin Tian continued with a smile.

"Opening an internet cafe?"

Xia Nuannuan's surprise was evident.

"An internet cafe, equivalent to a more high-end internet cafe!"

"That must cost a lot of money, right?"

"Mm, the clothing designs from before, the game boosting shop I did with Xu Hao, and the money I earned from stock investments, it's just barely enough."

After listening, Xia Nuannuan was so shocked she couldn't speak.

While Qin Tian was going to school every day just like her, he had quietly started his own business? And he had already done it so well? ===== CHAPTER 165 =====
