Chapter 84: Helping Teacher Liu out of a predicament

Xia Nuannuan gave Qin Tian a look of disdain and pouted.

Obviously, she also felt that the man was a bit of a turn-off.

Qin Tian couldn't help but laugh, nudging his chin toward that side, signaling to continue eating melons and watching the show.

At this time, the man had already ordered his food, and the young waitress took the menu and turned to leave, looking like she didn't want to stay for even a second longer.

Afterward, while waiting for the food to arrive, the two started chatting.

It was basically the man finding topics, and Liu Xuan chiming in with a word here and there.

The man happened to be the type who could talk quite a bit; he didn't realize that Liu Xuan had no good feelings toward him, but instead felt very good about himself, talking incessantly.

In his mind, the woman opposite might just have a more introverted personality and didn't like to talk.

And Liu Xuan's polite pretense of listening also allowed the man, who had low emotional intelligence, to have his desire for expression greatly satisfied, and he spoke even more vigorously.

Until the waiter brought the salad Liu Xuan had ordered and the fruit juice the man had ordered.

The man felt a bit thirsty from talking and picked up the juice to take a sip to moisten his throat.

"Miss Liu, I think you're quite good. How do you feel about me?"

"Ah?"

Liu Xuan was stunned for a moment.

"Oh, I'm a more direct person when I speak; after all, everyone's time is very precious, right!"

The man said with a smile.

"Mm!"

Liu Xuan nodded slightly with a dry laugh. Under the man's expectant gaze, she said with difficulty: "I think... let's get to know each other more!"

It was a very obvious polite phrase, but the man didn't catch the subtext at all.

"Yes, then if we are together, Miss Liu, can you transfer to work in Jiangcheng?"

A confident smile appeared on the man's face, and he continued in a tone as if he had already won:

"I've already bought a house there, and naturally, I'll be settling down there in the future. If you go there to work, we can better understand each other, right? I'm not a person who likes long-distance relationships."

"Hehe!"

Liu Xuan laughed awkwardly and shook her head: "I don't have that plan for now; I think Yucheng is quite good."

"Yes, Yucheng is quite good, but it's still a bit small. I think with your ability, Miss Liu, you can completely go to Jiangcheng to develop; there are more opportunities and more room for development there."

The man gestured outward with both hands, suggesting.

"Thanks, but I really don't have that thought for now."

Liu Xuan forced a smile on her face.

"Is that so!"

The man picked up his glass and took another sip of juice, leaning back against the sofa.

He crossed his legs and said with a troubled look: "Miss Liu, I think a relationship requires both sides to contribute. If you are willing to go to Jiangcheng, you don't even have to work; I have the ability to support the family."

Liu Xuan's eyelid twitched slightly; she really couldn't sit there anymore.

Where on earth did this weirdo come from!

She really wanted to get up and leave, but thinking of her mother's strict warnings when she left the house, she gritted her teeth and endured it, lowering her head to eat the salad like it was tasteless.

For this blind date, her mother had put in a lot of effort; if she just left, she would definitely be lectured by her mother upon returning.

"Qin Tian, Qin Tian, should we do something?"

Xia Nuannuan looked up at Qin Tian and whispered.

As a woman herself, she could better understand Liu Xuan's mood at this moment.

Since she was a teacher at school and knew Qin Tian, she felt it was necessary to help her out of the predicament.

Qin Tian looked hesitant and conflicted.

It wasn't easy to meddle in this kind of thing!

And if Liu Xuan saw them, she might feel even more awkward.

"What do you think?"

Qin Tian handed the choice back to Xia Nuannuan.

Xia Nuannuan thought for a moment, nodded, and said: "I think Teacher Liu seems quite pitiful."

"Aren't you afraid of letting her see us..."

Qin Tian only said half of it, his face showing an "you know" expression.

Xia Nuannuan's pretty face flushed, and she said seriously: "The school doesn't have a rule that students can't go out shopping together, right?"

"Well said!"

Qin Tian nodded with a smile, glanced at the man who was still being "confident" over there, and cleared his throat with his fist to his mouth.

Xia Nuannuan's large eyes were sparkling, and her full expectation was evident.

"Teacher Liu?"

Qin Tian suddenly said loudly.

At the table over there, the man's voice stopped abruptly, and his puzzled gaze fell on Qin Tian.

Liu Xuan also turned her head to look over.

Seeing Qin Tian sitting there, a look of surprise immediately appeared on her face.

"Qin Tian? Why are you here?"

"Eating here!"

Qin Tian replied with a smile.

Liu Xuan subconsciously looked at the person opposite him.

Xia Nuannuan also poked her little head out, turned her head to look at her, and gave her a sweet smile: "Hello, Teacher Liu."

"Hello."

Liu Xuan nodded blankly.

After understanding the situation, she only felt her face burning fiercely, and she felt so awkward that her toes curled up.

"Your student?"

The man opposite asked in surprise.

"Mm!"

Liu Xuan turned her head and nodded.

Although he wasn't in her class, he was from the same school, so he could be considered her student.

"What a coincidence; that's why I say Yucheng is still too small."

The man said with a smile.

Hearing this, Liu Xuan had countless complaints she wanted to voice.

She didn't know how many times the man had said similar things; no matter how small Yucheng was, wasn't it his hometown?

After studying in Jiangcheng for a few years and working for a few years, was he that amazing?

Those who studied and worked in first-tier cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou—wouldn't they have their eyes on the top of their heads?

"Teacher Liu, is that your boyfriend?"

Qin Tian asked with a chuckle, pretending not to know.

Liu Xuan glared at him and denied: "No!"

The man opposite's smile stiffened upon hearing this.

Although it wasn't quite there yet, was there a need to deny it so decisively?

"Then Teacher Liu, do you want to come over and share the table?"

Qin Tian invited with a smile.

Liu Xuan was stunned for a moment. After seeing him give her a subtle look, she immediately understood.

"No..."

"Mr. Xu."

Just as the man was about to say something, he was interrupted by Liu Xuan, who looked at him with a puzzled gaze.

"How about we leave it at this for today? I have some things to talk to my student about."

Liu Xuan said with a polite smile on her face.

No matter how low the man's emotional intelligence was, he understood after hearing this, and his face became a bit ugly.

He still had a very good feeling about Liu Xuan; she had looks, she had a figure, and she was a teacher—very suitable to marry and bring home as a virtuous wife and mother.

He had originally thought he had performed well, and as long as he could persuade Liu Xuan to go to Jiangcheng to develop, this matter would be stable.

Now, he was suddenly rejected?

"Miss Liu, whatever you have to talk to your student about, you can talk about it when you get to school, right? Why don't we change places and continue chatting?"

The man suggested with a smile.

"No need."

Liu Xuan smiled and called out to the young waitress not far away: "Waiter."

"Coming!"

The young waitress responded and walked over quickly: "Is there anything you need?"

"Let's settle the bill!"

Liu Xuan replied.

"Mm?"

The young waitress was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked at the man opposite.

"Miss Liu, let me do it; there's no reason for a woman to pay."

The man said with an expressionless face.

His low emotional intelligence was one thing, but he still wanted to save face.

Liu Xuan glanced at him and said to the waiter: "Then let's split it in half!"

"Okay!"

The young waitress smiled knowingly. ===== CHAPTER 85 =====
