Chapter 85: That right person
The man didn't even eat the food he ordered; he took out his wallet, pulled out a hundred-yuan bill, handed it to the waiter, and got up and left in a rage.
"Sir, here is your change."
The young waitress said hurriedly.
"No need."
The man didn't look back and walked straight out of the restaurant.
The young waitress curled her lips and began to clean up the things on the table.
Liu Xuan had already sat down at Qin Tian's table.
Xia Nuannuan had moved to Qin Tian's side, while Liu Xuan sat opposite them, looking at the two with great interest.
Qin Tian was calm and composed, while Xia Nuannuan was eating fries with a red face, not daring to look up.
After all, she was a teacher at school, and even if she wasn't in their class, it made her feel very embarrassed.
"Student Qin Tian, aren't you going to introduce her?"
Liu Xuan looked at Qin Tian with a smile and nudged her chin toward Xia Nuannuan beside him.
"My deskmate, Xia Nuannuan."
Qin Tian introduced her.
"Deskmate, huh!"
Liu Xuan nodded in realization, but the smile on her face became even more playful.
She was already twenty-seven this year; in the words of her mother, who was anxious for her, she was already an "older leftover woman."
She was single now, but she had also had a campus romance during her university days.
For two teenagers of seventeen or eighteen, she could naturally say she was someone who had been there; how could she not see that the relationship between the two was unusual.
"Teacher, were you on a blind date just now?"
Qin Tian smiled and changed the subject, taking the initiative.
Liu Xuan thought about how the situation just now had been seen by two students, and she felt extremely awkward inside.
Of course, her acting skills were still quite good, and her expression still looked very calm.
"Mm, it was introduced by my family. You were here before; why didn't you say hello?"
"We were afraid of disturbing you!"
Qin Tian replied with a dry laugh.
"Hehe!"
Liu Xuan rolled her eyes and retorted angrily: "You wanted to watch the fun, right?"
"Hehe..."
Qin Tian laughed cheekily, noncommittal.
Liu Xuan glared at him and looked at Xia Nuannuan beside her with a reproachful gaze.
"Student Xia Nuannuan, why did you join in the fun with him?"
"I'm sorry."
Xia Nuannuan hurriedly sat up straight and apologized like a good student.
Although her academic performance wasn't top-tier, she had always been a well-behaved student in the eyes of teachers since she was a child.
Facing the teacher's reproachful gaze, she still felt a lot of pressure.
"Haha... don't be nervous, don't be nervous, I'm just joking!"
Liu Xuan waved her hand hurriedly and said with a gentle smile: "This isn't school, so we can interact as friends; there's no need to be so constrained."
"Mm!"
Xia Nuannuan replied, feeling a sense of relief.
It seemed this teacher was actually quite nice!
"Sigh, consider it my bad luck today, being made a joke of by you two. But I still have to thank you for helping me out of the predicament; otherwise, it would have been a real headache."
Liu Xuan said with a faint smile.
"Teacher Liu, you are so beautiful and have such good conditions; you shouldn't lack excellent men pursuing you, right? Why are you still on a blind date!"
Qin Tian asked curiously.
Compared to Xia Nuannuan, who was a bit reserved, he was much more relaxed and casual when interacting with these teachers.
"No, I don't have many male friends, and my circle is small. I don't really care myself, just letting things take their course, but my parents are a bit anxious."
Liu Xuan said, sighing with melancholy: "Sigh, time passes too quickly; I feel like I just left campus not long ago, and in the blink of an eye, I'm an older leftover woman!"
Xia Nuannuan, sitting beside Qin Tian, opened her mouth to say something comforting when she heard this, but didn't know how to say it.
"Teacher Liu, I think you're quite good as you are; you should stick to your own opinions."
Qin Tian picked up his cup and took a sip of coffee, saying seriously: "If it's not the right person, everyone else will become a compromise. Love and marriage are a lifetime matter; they shouldn't become a compromise."
As soon as these words came out, both Liu Xuan and Xia Nuannuan were stunned, looking at him with surprised eyes.
"Cough, cough... alright, I read this in a book."
Qin Tian felt a bit embarrassed by the two of them looking at him and hurriedly laughed and talked nonsense.
"You read this kind of book? What's the title? I'll go buy it and take a look."
Liu Xuan asked back with a smile.
"Ah? That... I forgot the title."
Qin Tian continued to make things up.
"Hehe!"
Liu Xuan rolled her eyes at him again and teased with a smile: "As expected of our school's super dark horse top student, you know quite a lot at such a young age!"
Xia Nuannuan covered her mouth and giggled on the side, her beautiful eyes full of admiration and respect as she looked at Qin Tian.
Qin Tian's words just now were simply too good, and they also fit her beautiful longing for love.
"Uh... I read a lot of miscellaneous books; I was just talking nonsense, don't mind it."
Qin Tian said with a dry laugh.
"No, no, that was very well said. When I go back later, my mom will definitely lecture me, so I'll tell her that."
Liu Xuan said with a smile.
"Don't, I'm embarrassed."
"Hehe, you have such thick skin, and you still get embarrassed?"
"Teacher Liu, you can't talk about students like that!"
Hearing this, Liu Xuan and Xia Nuannuan couldn't help but be amused, and happy, pleasant laughter rang out in the restaurant.
After Liu Xuan restrained her smile, she looked at Xia Nuannuan and asked suddenly: "Then, Student Qin Tian, the 'right person' you mentioned just now—have you found them yourself?"
Qin Tian was dumbfounded upon hearing this.
Beside him, Xia Nuannuan's pretty face turned completely red, and she lowered her little head shyly.
She felt her heart beating very fast; while feeling extremely shy, she also had full anticipation and nervousness.
Liu Xuan was all smiles, her gaze wandering over the two faces, feeling inexplicably envious.
Pure campus love—just looking at it made people feel it was beautiful.
This might also be the reason why she had remained single until now after leaving campus.
As for why her campus romance in university ended without a result, it might have been those problems that the vast majority of campus couples would face.
Looking at the young boy and girl in front of her, she really hoped that the two could continue to be so happy.
Qin Tian came back to his senses, looked at Xia Nuannuan, whose ears were red, took a deep breath, and nodded with a light laugh: "Yes, I'm quite lucky; I've already found them."
The calm and gentle words made Xia Nuannuan's body tremble slightly; she felt as if she had drunk more of the most mellow wine in the world, and that unspeakable happiness and satisfaction made her brain feel a bit dizzy.
Liu Xuan was also stunned for a moment, then a more brilliant smile bloomed on her face.
Afterward, this topic ended here.
Liu Xuan, in a pleasant mood, felt like eating dessert.
So she called the young waitress and ordered a tiramisu cake and an ice cream.
Eating and chatting, laughing and talking.
Soon, Xia Nuannuan was no longer nervous or constrained, joining the conversation and chatting happily with Liu Xuan. ===== CHAPTER 86 =====
