Chapter 34: Unlike me, I only know how to care for my senior (Please collect, please recommend)

"Dating?"

Hearing Yang Mi's words, Qi Hui and Jing Tian were both slightly stunned.

Qi Hui shrugged: "Nothing like that."

At least not for now.

Not long after, the steak was served.

To express his apologies, the manager also sent a bottle of red wine to the three of them.

"I also want to date my senior," Jing Tian said, sighing slightly while using her table knife to cut the meat:

"If I were as pretty as you, Senior, I would definitely be able to date my senior just like you date a man as good as Hu Ge."

Yang Mi smiled lightly: "Haha, compared to Hu Ge... cough cough, Qi Hui is no less impressive."

Damn it, I wasn't paying attention for a second and almost got trapped by this girl's questioning... Yang Mi felt secretly resentful.

"Oh?" Jing Tian asked in surprise: "So, are you really dating Hu Ge, Senior? I always thought that was just a rumor."

Hearing this, Qi Hui also raised his head, looking at Yang Mi with a bit of gossip.

Sizzle!

The table knife scraped across the plate, the metal colliding with the ceramic to produce a somewhat sharp sound.

Yang Mi couldn't quite keep her composure; faced with Jing Tian's question and Qi Hui's confusion, she could only offer an awkward smile: "Haha... no, I've always been single."

"Those were indeed rumors. It's just publicity; sometimes you really have to play out some fake things according to the requirements of the production crew and the show's staff."

"What do they call this on the internet? Oh, 'shipping a CP'."

Jing Tian looked suddenly enlightened: "So that's how it is..."

Then, she stopped paying attention to Yang Mi and focused on dealing with the steak in front of her.

Quiet and ladylike.

Yang Mi breathed a slight sigh of relief, but felt incredibly depressed inside; tonight's plan had not gone smoothly from the very beginning.

With this girl still on the side, she had no way to do the things she wanted to do with Qi Hui.

What should she do? Should she try to change the second half of the night?

Yang Mi ate her steak elegantly, but her mind was constantly shifting, preparing to find an excuse to shake off Jing Tian and switch to a different venue with Qi Hui.

Otherwise, tonight would truly be a waste.

Her eyes darted, and she quietly reached for her phone.

There was no other way; she would have to trouble Shanshan again.

She would compensate her when there was a chance later.

"Hello? Shanshan?" Yang Mi picked up the phone, pretending to take a call: "What did you say? Aren't you guys at..."

Jing Tian held the silver-white table knife and asked in distress: "Senior, how do I cut this steak?"

Qi Hui raised an eyebrow and laughed: "Come, let me help you."

As he spoke, he helped Jing Tian cut the steak hand-in-hand.

Jing Tian's pretty face flushed slightly: "Thank you, Senior. It's all my fault, I'm so clumsy..."

But Yang Mi, sitting to the side, felt like she was on pins and needles; the words she was prepared to say were stuck firmly in her throat, unable to come out.

"Cough... you two, Shanshan needs me for something, I'm leaving first." Yang Mi couldn't sit still any longer and made an excuse to slip away directly.

Neither Qi Hui nor Jing Tian tried to keep her, watching her leave.

"Here, Senior, eat some meat." Jing Tian was all smiles, adding fragrance to the scene for Qi Hui.

Look at this Senior Yang Mi, always thinking about using you; unlike me, who only knows how to care for my senior.

Where is there any 'green tea' here? This is clearly our good junior sister... Qi Hui sighed inwardly.

Minivan.

Long-Hair looked completely bewildered: "Why did Yang Mi leave?"

"Why did she leave?" Crew-Cut said angrily: "I should be asking you that. What's going on with that so-called intelligence of yours?"

"This..." Long-Hair scratched his head, sitting restlessly: "I received an anonymous call, and that's what it said."

"You can believe something like that?" The Gloomy Man sneered: "Take your head out of your heels and use it again!"

"Let's go, back!" Crew-Cut shouted, very annoyed.

Not long after, the minivan started and drove off into the distance.

Restaurant.

Jing Tian asked with worry: "Senior, Senior Yang Mi must be angry with me because of this, right?"

"She's so scary, Senior..."

Before she could finish, Qi Hui raised his hand and flicked her on the forehead.

"Ouch..." Jing Tian covered her forehead, looking aggrieved.

Qi Hui said: "Yang Mi is already gone."

"Hee hee..." Jing Tian chuckled, rubbed her forehead, and the aggrieved look instantly vanished, returning to her original lively self.

"Senior, how did I do on my mission?" she asked with great interest.

"Perfect!" Qi Hui gave her a thumbs up.

"Yay, then let's eat quickly," Jing Tian said: "I'm not used to staying in this restaurant."

"Okay." Qi Hui agreed, asked the manager for a pair of chopsticks, and finished the steak in a few quick bites.

As for the bottle of wine the manager had sent, it remained unopened, leaving the manager to clean it up himself.

Soon, the two left the Western restaurant.

"Are you full?" Qi Hui asked as they walked.

"No," Jing Tian answered truthfully: "That steak was only a small piece."

A Western restaurant was never a place to get full anyway.

"Let's go, let's change to the second half of the night," Qi Hui laughed: "I'll treat you to whatever you want to eat."

"Yay, okay!" Jing Tian cheered: "Then let's go eat Chang'an Hulu Tou!"

"Ah, this..." Qi Hui's expression froze; that thing seemed to be the fattest part of the large intestine.

He wasn't quite used to eating that...

"Don't worry, Senior, Hulu Tou is delicious!"

Alley, old shop.

Steaming heat rolled through the shop, and waves of fragrance drifted everywhere.

"Boss, two portions of mutton pita bread soup, and one Hulu Tou." Jing Tian's energetic voice rang out in the shop.

"Coming right up! Pick a Hulu Tou yourself, do you want it fatty or lean... oh? It's you?" The boss replied, and upon looking up, he exclaimed in surprise.

A regular customer had arrived.

He immediately smiled: "I know, you want it a bit leaner, and no cilantro, right?"

As he spoke, he opened a smoked marinade pot and picked out a piece of large intestine that wasn't too fatty.

"Mm-hmm!" Jing Tian nodded repeatedly.

Qi Hui watched her familiar way of doing things and couldn't help but smile: "I thought it was eating Hulu Tou with pita bread."

"I can't eat that either." Jing Tian playfully stuck out her tongue.

"Let's go, let's go break the bread." She pulled Qi Hui to an empty spot and began breaking the bread.

"Senior, where are we going later?" Jing Tian chatted while breaking the bread.

Qi Hui shrugged: "I'm going back to the hotel."

"Oh?" Jing Tian asked in surprise: "Staying in a hotel?"

"Yeah, I just finished filming not long ago," Qi Hui said.

"Uh..." Jing Tian's eyes rolled around, and she smiled: "Senior, are you going to rent a place here? I know a very good agent."

She also knew Qi Hui had just graduated, so she didn't ask about buying a house.

Hearing this, Qi Hui fell into thought; settling down in the Imperial Capital... it seemed like a good choice.

The original owner had spent four years studying here and was already used to this city.

Moreover, Ling Xiaosu, Zhang Ruoyun, and others all lived in the Imperial Capital.

"That works too." Qi Hui nodded: "Thank you for your trouble."

"Hee hee... it's no trouble." Jing Tian smiled very happily, like a little fox whose scheme had succeeded: "Then let's go after we eat; there's still time anyway, it's only past eight."

"Okay."

As the two talked, the mutton pita bread soup and the Hulu Tou were soon ready.

Qi Hui, with some hesitation, picked up a piece of Hulu Tou and took a bite.

The greasiness he had imagined didn't appear; instead, there was a rich fragrance with a faint smoky flavor.

Coupled with the very chewy texture, it was unforgettable.

"Mm... not bad!" Qi Hui couldn't help but praise.

"Yay, I didn't lie to you, did I?" Jing Tian was very happy, her mood joyful.

She was from Chang'an, and seeing others enjoy her hometown's food naturally made her very happy.

"There is also mutton soup with flatbread, Senior Brother, hurry and have a taste."

……

A residential compound, one of the apartment buildings.

The agent brought Qi Hui and Jing Tian to the front of a room.

"Mr. Qi, this is our room."

Qi Hui nodded; putting everything else aside, the environment of the residential compound outside was quite good.

If there were no major issues inside, he would not mind renting it.

Soon, the agent opened the door and led Qi Hui and Jing Tian inside.

Very quickly, some feminine decorations and ornaments appeared before Qi Hui.

"Huh?" Qi Hui looked at the furnishings and decor inside, and could not help but be slightly surprised: "This looks like a woman's apartment."

"Ahaha... perhaps the previous tenant was a girl," Jing Tian laughed and said.
