Chapter 14: You Are Quite My Type

【Youxia: Wait for me after class, I’ll come find you…】

Qin Yingxia was afraid that Jin Zhuo appearing at the classroom door would attract too much attention.

【Jin: You didn’t tell me, okay…】

【Jin: It’s okay, little Qin, I’m pretty free now, I can spend some time looking for you in your college slowly.】

Jin Zhuo’s text message revealed a hint of grievance.

【Youxia: …C106】

Qin Yingxia couldn’t resist, she honestly reported her location.

Jin Zhuo didn’t reply anymore.

For the rest of the class, Qin Yingxia was distracted, her eyes constantly glancing out the window, so she was even called upon by Professor Li to answer a question.

This elective course was Western Wine Culture, Yu Zhizhi dragged her to take it, saying she thought it was refreshing to taste wine in class.

The first class didn’t have a wine tasting session, it was mostly about the history of wine and different brands of wine.

Fortunately, Qin Shan liked to collect fine wines, Qin Yingxia had learned a bit from him.

She was able to answer the professor’s question confidently.

“Wow!” Yu Zhizhi gave a thumbs up, “Does your family own a winery, Yingying?”

Qin Yingxia was taken aback, remembering that Qin Shan did have a few wineries under his name, “Something like that.”

Finally, the class was over, Qin Yingxia grabbed her small bag, her voice urgent, “Zhizhi, I have to go out to treat someone to dinner, I won’t go back with you…”

Yu Zhizhi: “Who are you treating to dinner?”

She looked up and saw that Qin Yingxia almost left the classroom before the professor.

Professor Li slowly pushed up his glasses, with a hint of a smile, “In such a hurry, Qin Yingxia?”

“…A little urgent.”

“Is your boyfriend waiting for you?” The professor raised his chin suggestively.

The girl looked in the direction of his gaze and noticed that Jin Zhuo had been standing at the door eavesdropping all along.

Jin Zhuo leaned against the railing, his white shirt puffed up by the evening breeze, his chin lowered, playing with his phone casually.

Hearing the noise, he lifted his eyelids and looked over leisurely, his tone flirtatious and teasing, “Boyfriend? Me?”

Professor Li obviously knew Jin Zhuo, the darling of the Law School.

His gaze lingered on the two of them, then turned to Jin Zhuo, “You kid, you’re lucky.”

Jin Zhuo chuckled softly, but didn’t explain further.

And Qin Yingxia, standing beside him, was blushing with embarrassment and a little joy.

After Professor Li left, Qin Yingxia realized the students who were blocked in the classroom.

She was about to turn around to see what was going on, but Jin Zhuo pulled her back by the strap of her crossbody bag that was hanging around her waist, “Let’s go, I’m starving.”

Qin Yingxia heard him say he was hungry, and she couldn’t care less about the others, she happily patted her small wallet and invited Jin Zhuo to eat barbecue.

Leaving a row of heads peering out the window, their heads moving back and forth…

•  

The clouds were low, dyed with the colors of the sunset, hanging in the sky like a girl’s blushing face.

Jin Zhuo and Qin Yingxia walked along the street, the surroundings were bustling with activity, their quietness was out of place.

“So quiet, I thought we’d have a lot to talk about.”

He said with a smile, making Qin Yingxia chuckle.

“Senoir Jin, I just came to Imperial University, are there any good barbecue restaurants nearby?”

“There’s one that’s pretty good.” Jin Zhuo usually went out to eat barbecue with his dorm mates, he had tried a few barbecue restaurants, but only this one’s ingredients, dipping sauces, and service he thought were good.

…

About ten minutes later, the two stood in front of the “Li San” barbecue restaurant, the restaurant’s decor was very inS, simple yet cozy.

Jin Zhuo chose a window seat on the second floor, where he could see the bustling city in the distance, he pushed the menu towards Qin Yingxia first, “See what you want to eat?”

The waiter silently retracted his hand holding the menu.

Qin Yingxia had almost checked off all the meat dishes, afraid that Jin Zhuo wouldn’t have enough to eat.

When Jin Zhuo saw the dishes, his drinking action paused, “Little Qin Junior, you’re so generous~”

Qin Yingxia was a little embarrassed by the compliment, “I’m afraid you won’t have enough…”

“At this rate, I’ll be ready for slaughter in two months.” He laughed.

The waiter chuckled, but then quickly suppressed it and put on a professional smile.

Qin Yingxia licked her lips, “Then, then you choose… I’m not picky…”

Jin Zhuo appropriately deleted some items and pushed the menu to the waiter, “Just these, bring them over.”

Waiter: “Okay!”

While waiting for the food, Qin Yingxia had already started her “gradual plan” in her mind.

Now that she was having dinner alone with Jin Zhuo, could this be considered a date?

She was incredibly grateful to Yu Zhizhi for making her apply that “man-slaying” lipstick before going out.

Jin Zhuo had said that this barbecue restaurant had excellent service, and he wasn’t wrong!

The waiter was constantly grilling the meat, never leaving for a moment.

Several times, Qin Yingxia tried to create some finger-touching opportunities, but the waiter’s “thoughtfulness” interrupted her.

“Ma’am, this is hot, you don’t need to hold it, I’ll do it.”

Qin Yingxia put down the tongs, “…Okay ૮₍•᎔•₎ა”

During the meal, Jin Zhuo chatted with her about some professional matters, but Qin Yingxia was a little absent-minded.

Jin Zhuo took a sip of juice, lightly raised his eyebrows, “Not to your taste?”

Qin Yingxia stared at him, the man’s eyes were deep, the small mole on his high nose bridge added a touch of wildness to him.

Her eyes flickered slightly, her voice soft, “It’s right up my alley.”

Jin Zhuo narrowed his eyes, put down his water cup, and smirked, “You… are you talking about the food or me?”

Her gaze had been fixed on his face just now.

Qin Yingxia’s breath hitched, she had a strange feeling, afraid that Jin Zhuo would see through her thoughts.

As if on cue, the waiter’s tongs fell to the ground, making a noise that broke the slightly ambiguous atmosphere.

“Tsk.” Jin Zhuo was inexplicably annoyed.

The waiter wanted to say something, but silently swallowed it back, finally uttering two words, “I’m leaving(´⌒`｡)”

…

After the waiter left, Qin Yingxia visibly relaxed. She picked up the tongs again and placed the beef cubes on the grill, “I like the process of grilling, I like to eat what I grill myself.”

The beef cubes sizzled, the grease dancing on the grill.

“Be careful, it’s hot.” Jin Zhuo also picked up a clean pair of tongs, “I’ll grill, you eat.”

Qin Yingxia saw him stand up, taking the waiter’s former position. The man leaned on the table with one hand, his posture lazy as he grilled meat for her.

“Does Jin Senior like grilling yourself?”

To be honest, Jin Zhuo was used to being served, serving others was a first.

“I like to grill for Junior Xiao Qin ~”

He laughed first, the light in his eyes was soft and gentle, “Do you like this answer?”

Qin Yingxia blinked, her eyebrows curved, “I like it, thank you, Little Jin Waiter~”

She imitated Jin Zhuo’s tone of voice, answering him.

“Try the beef cubes you grilled yourself.” Qin Yingxia used the public chopsticks to pick up a piece of meat and brought it to Jin Zhuo’s face.

The girl’s eyebrows were like paintings, under the light, she was still beautiful beyond compare, “Do you want to eat?”
