Chapter 472

The next day at noon, when Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan were eating together in the cafeteria, a strange number called in.

Qin Tian stared at the caller ID for a moment, then answered the call under Xia Nuannuan's encouraging gaze.

"Hello, who is this?"

In fact, he had already guessed who might be on the other end; he was doing this on purpose.

After a long silence on the other end of the phone, a steady, middle-aged male voice came through.

"It's me."

"Who am I?"

Qin Tian ate a bite of rice with a blank expression, still asking a question he knew the answer to.

The person on the other end was clearly choked up as well, and after another few seconds of silence, said, "Qin Hongwen, your mother gave me the number."

Qin Tian looked up at Xia Nuannuan, who was sitting across from him, and saw her with a bitter little face, her eyes revealing a few hints of pleading.

After learning about those things from back then, although Xia Nuannuan had stated that she was on Qin Tian's side and supported him unconditionally, she also hoped more that they could be reunited as a family and be on good terms.

"Is there something?"

Qin Tian asked in a calm tone.

"Mmm, I'm coming to Jiangcheng for a meeting in a couple of days, do you have time... can we have a meal together?"

Qin Hongwen invited tentatively.

Qin Tian didn't answer immediately; he picked up some food, put it in his mouth, and chewed.

On the other end of the phone, Qin Hongwen didn't speak again either, quietly waiting for his reply.

Xia Nuannuan's expression became increasingly anxious, but it wasn't easy for her to get involved.

Qin Tian glanced at her and said, "I'm not sure if I'll have time then, we'll talk when you get here!"

"Eh, good, bring Little Xia along when the time comes."

Qin Hongwen's tone became noticeably lighter.

Across from him, a sweet smile bloomed on Xia Nuannuan's pretty face.

"Got it, hanging up!"

After saying that, Qin Tian hung up the phone directly.

"Here, eat more meat."

Xia Nuannuan added a pork rib to his bowl with curved eyes.

"Why are you so happy!"

Qin Tian looked at her with amusement.

"Hee hee... I'm just happy!"

Xia Nuannuan smiled even more happily.

Looking at her cute appearance, Qin Tian's somewhat depressed and restless mood inexplicably improved a lot.

"He said to bring you along and have a meal with him when the time comes."

"Mmm, mmm!"

Xia Nuannuan nodded excitedly and agreed, asking, "Did Uncle say when he's arriving? Should we go pick him up?"

"He didn't say, why pick him up, isn't it convenient to take a taxi?"

Qin Tian said flatly.

Upon hearing this, Xia Nuannuan felt very helpless, but she didn't say anything more.

She also knew that the relationship between this father and son had to be thawed step by step; if it was too rushed, it might be counterproductive.

"Qin Tian, Xia Nuannuan!"

A female voice came over.

The two of them looked in the direction of the voice and saw two girls walking over with trays, smiling.

"Senior, good noon!"

Xia Nuannuan greeted with a sweet smile.

The two were none other than the two seniors from the School of Foreign Languages in their sophomore year whom they had seen in this cafeteria after returning to school.

"Senior, why don't you sit here!"

Xia Nuannuan got up, moved to Qin Tian's side, and signaled for the two seniors to sit in the seats opposite.

After the two thanked them, they sat down as requested.

"What a coincidence, we ran into each other again."

Ding Xuan said with a beaming smile.

"Yeah, we had class in the teaching building in front this morning, so we came to this cafeteria to eat."

Xia Nuannuan gave a sweet smile, then looked at Fu Yan beside her and said, "Senior, you look like your complexion is much better!"

"Really?"

Fu Yan touched her face in surprise.

"Yes, yes."

Xia Nuannuan nodded repeatedly.

"Is there progress with your boyfriend?"

Qin Tian asked curiously.

Last time they met these two seniors, Fu Yan and her fickle boyfriend, whom she had been dating since high school, had problems in their relationship, and they had come to them for advice.

"Yes, thanks to the idea Qin Tian gave, it was so satisfying."

Ding Xuan said with some excitement.

Fu Yan had a smile on her face, clearly in a very good mood as well.

"How so, how so?"

Xia Nuannuan leaned forward, the fire of gossip burning in her beautiful eyes.

"After listening to Qin Tian's method last time, we tried it immediately; Fu Yan endured not contacting her boyfriend, and when she really couldn't help it, I would snatch her phone and turn it off. In less than two days, her boyfriend really couldn't sit still."

Ding Xuan recounted with a brilliant smile.

"Continue."

Xia Nuannuan's eyes shone, urging impatiently.

Ding Xuan continued to speak with spirit while eating.

Simply put, Fu Yan's boyfriend, after Fu Yan became colder than him, felt a sense of disparity in his heart and quickly began to get anxious.

Comparing the "warblers and swallows" around him with Fu Yan, his brain began to clear, and he realized that in this relationship, his conditions were at an absolute disadvantage.

As a top student at Jiang University, Fu Yan had looks, education, and a personality that was much better than the girls around him who often went out and messed around.

And so, the positions of both sides were reversed, and Fu Yan's boyfriend began to coax her.

"You guys don't know, how good her boyfriend is to her now; it was already past nine last night, Yanzi was on her period and wasn't feeling well, and he came running over with warm baby patches and a bunch of fruit."

Ding Xuan said with a chuckle.

Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan looked at Fu Yan and saw her eating in small bites with a happy and sweet smile.

"Senior, congratulations."

Xia Nuannuan sent her congratulations with a sweet smile.

"Thank you, it's all thanks to you guys."

Fu Yan thanked them gratefully.

"I didn't help much, it's all Brother's credit."

Xia Nuannuan looked at Qin Tian with a smile.

"Right, right, Qin Tian, you're really amazing."

Ding Xuan looked at him with worshipful eyes.

"It's nothing, if you think about that logic carefully, Senior, you can actually understand it."

Qin Tian waved his hand with a smile.

"No, I really want to thank you, do you guys have time tonight, let me treat you to a meal?"

Fu Yan invited.

"No need, it really doesn't count as helping much."

Qin Tian refused without hesitation.

"Yeah, Senior, forget about the meal, we're just happy that you and your boyfriend can be happy."

Xia Nuannuan chimed in.

After Fu Yan invited them again and was politely refused by both of them, she had no choice but to give up helplessly.

"Master Qin, give me some advice too!"

Ding Xuan looked at Qin Tian with burning eyes, suddenly saying with anticipation.

"Master Qin?"

Qin Tian was stunned.

Xia Nuannuan beside him was also dumbfounded.

Ding Xuan nodded with a beaming smile and said, "I like a boy, he's a junior at our school, but he doesn't have that kind of feeling for me."

"Does he have a girlfriend?"

Xia Nuannuan asked curiously.

"No... I think?"

Ding Xuan frowned slightly.

Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan looked at each other, both with wry smiles.

"Oh my, I haven't even said a few words to him, how would I know if he has a girlfriend."

Ding Xuan felt a bit embarrassed.

"Then Senior, have you expressed your interest to him?"

Xia Nuannuan asked again.
