He licked his lips, almost tripping over his own feet.
“I’m sure he’s interested in our Yaoyao.” Tang Xinrou also supported her chin as she tapped her head.
Amusement appeared in her beautiful eyes.
“Would you believe it if I told you that he will be stopped within 3 seconds?”
“Huh?” Meng Qiqi was confused.
But Tang Xinrou had already begun counting. “One, two…”
As soon as she said, “three”, a young man stretched out his arm and stopped the boy.
They weren’t too far away, so Meng Qiqi heard his crisp voice.
“Student, what’s in your hand? Let me see.”
The boy was embarrassed to be stopped in front of the beautiful girl. “Why should I let you see it?”
“Oh? So fierce.”
The youth slowly stood up and realized the man was really tall; taller than him by an entire head.
Huo Jiu’s wide palm fell upon the boy’s shoulder. It didn’t look like he was using any strength, but he easily pushed the boy back down into his seat.
Not allowing him to refuse, he grabbed the note from his hand and took a look at it.
“Hi Pretty Miss, are you interested in being friends? Here’s my contact. Looking forward to your reply… Wow!” Huo Jiu held back a laugh and waved the note. “Student, before you flirt with someone, shouldn’t you investigate whether they have a boyfriend first?”
He raised an eyebrow.
The boy angrily tried to grab the note back and glared at him. “How is this any of your business? Give me back my note, unless…you’re her boyfriend. If not then get lost and mind your own business!”
“Tch—”
Huo Jiu laughed as coldness appeared in his dark brown eyes. Between his eyebrows, there was a sense of indifference. His palm remained on the boy’s shoulder, preventing him from standing up.
When the boy’s friends saw this, they quickly approached.
But, he leaned into the boy’s ear and said quietly, “I’m not her boyfriend. I’m just…her boyfriend’s subordinate.”
“You!”
The boy glared at him and his face burned red.
F*ck, this man looked skinny, but why was he so strong?
He gritted his teeth. What year was it? Who still had subordinates?
“I am confiscating the note. As an apology, I shall pay for your coffee. Now, please distance yourself from my family’s Young Mistress.”
Huo Jiu patted on the boy’s shoulder and returned to his seat. He then threw the note into his cup of unfinished coffee.
The dark liquid quickly swallowed the note and washed away the writing.
The boy was furious. It had taken him a long time to write that and it took a lot of determination to give it to the girl.
Now, it was just rubbish.
“B*st*rd! Would you believe it if I—”
“Huh? What did you say?” Huo Jiu smirked and glanced over.
He was extremely cold like a bloodthirsty knife.
The boy who had yet to see much of the world was immediately frightened.
While he was overcome by fear, his friends quickly dragged him away.
Far away, the boy’s displeased voice could still be heard.
“What are you doing?”
“What can I do? That guy doesn’t look like good news! Even if we all go up against him, we may not beat him!”
“Does he know that girl? Is he her boyfriend?”
Hearing this, the boy scrunched up his mouth in disgust. “What boyfriend? He’s just…a lackey!”
He refused to admit that he was frightened.
It was such a shame that he didn’t get the pretty girl’s contact details.
In the end, this small interlude gave everyone a bit of entertainment while they were waiting. Tang Xinrou laughed and a sinister look appeared in her eyes.
