Forced to Date a Big Shot - Chapter 165

Chapter 165: Little Kid, What a Coincidence

Qin Shuang turned around and saw Old Liu walking over. He had a serious expression and exuded an aura. He blocked Qin Shuang and said to Qin Lu, “Why are you doing this?”

Qin Lu jumped in shock. The ruthlessness she had felt earlier had completely vanished, leaving her with a pitiful expression. “I was just giving Xiao Shuang some water. Mr. Liu, what did I do wrong?”

“What did you do wrong?” Old Liu was exasperated. “Don’t you know that Qin Shuang is afraid of water?”

Xue Xi had greeted Old Liu as soon as class started today. She’d also meticulously put away the transparent glass cups around her.

She had long realized that as long as the cup was not transparent, there would not be any ripples on the water surface and it would not reflect light. Hence, there would not be any problem.

She had told Old Liu everything.

But now, Qin Lu was actually holding a cup and blocking Qin Shuang?

If it were in the past, Qin Shuang would have taken action long ago. But now, she… had a huge psychological problem!

Qin Lu widened her eyes and looked at Qin Shuang in disbelief. “Xiao Shuang, so you’re afraid of water?”

Qin Shuang hid behind Old Liu and did not dare to look at the cup in her hand. However, Qin Lu still raised the cup. “But it’s impossible to not drink water. Are you afraid of even drinking water? Xiao Shuang, you can’t do this. Let me help you resist this kind of fear. If you can’t even drink water, what should we do?”

After saying this, she walked past Old Liu and placed the cup in Qin Shuang’s hands. “Take it, Xiao Shuang. Don’t be afraid. This is the water that humans rely on to survive!”

Qin Shuang took the water and saw that the water in the transparent glass was swaying. She was so frightened that she pushed it forward and the water fell from the third floor!

“Pa!”

The transparent cup shattered.

Qin Shuang widened her eyes and looked downstairs.

Old Liu also hurriedly looked down. Fortunately, there were few people downstairs. Otherwise, it would have been a problem if it had hit someone!

After the two of them were done looking, Qin Lu continued, “Mr. Liu, we can’t always run away when we’re in trouble. We have to face it. If Xiao Shuang is afraid of water, then show it to her more. Humans have to be strong.”

If it was something else, she would definitely have faced it firmly.

However, she could not resist the psychological barrier. If she resisted it forcefully, it might lead to more serious psychological problems.

Old Liu immediately said sternly, “Student Qin Lu, you’re just a student. It’s not your place to worry about these matters. Please go back!”

Qin Lu pouted secretly, but she still nodded calmly.

When Qin Lu had entered the class, Qin Shuang’s eyes turned red.

Old Liu sighed and said, “Let’s enter the classroom.”

Qin Shuang nodded.

The morning quickly passed. During the class breaks, the members of the Roaring Flame Society came to visit Qin Shuang, and everyone was fine.

Soon, it was noon. There was a fish tank in the canteen. There were a lot of fish inside, and there was also water.

Hence, Xue Xi thought for a moment and said to Qin Shuang, “That rice noodles shop at the school’s entrance is not bad. Let’s go eat there!”

Qin Shuang thought about it and nodded. “Alright, I’ll treat you to it then!”

She waved her bank card. “I have money now.”

When Mr. Qin had passed the money to her, he had spoken to her privately. “I can understand why you don’t want to go home. I also know that the harm your mother and I have caused you is not something that can be made up to with words. Take this money and stay with the Xue family. With this, you don’t always have to rely on the Xue family for your needs, and you can buy more gifts for Xue Xi…”

Qin Shuang intended to treat Xue Xi to a meal from the bottom of her heart. She did not know how to thank Sister Xi for saving her.

The two of them left the house and headed to the rice noodles shop.

Actually, they were not allowed to leave the school at noon, but Old Liu knew about the situation in the canteen, so he gave them a fake note.

When they reached the shop, they saw there were not many people inside.

The two found a corner and sat down opposite each other. Xue Xi ordered a bowl of beef noodles while Qin Shuang ordered a portion of tomato fat beef noodles.

After a while, the rice noodles were served.

Xue Xi looked at the few pieces of beef in her bowl and fell silent.

After a while, the store owner walked over and served a plate of beef.

Xue Xi: “?”

She looked at Qin Shuang in confusion. “Did you add it?”

Qin Shuang shook her head. “It’s not me!”

Both of them looked at the boss and saw him smiling. “That gentleman added a plate of beef for you.”

Not far away, a man in a black sweater was lazily sitting. The chair was short and the store was also very small. His legs were sticking out a little, so he’d hooked them on the chair’s legs. On his cold face, his narrow eyes were just slits as he was smiling at her. It was Xiang Huai.

This morning, Xue Xi had taken a pill. After suppressing her pain, she did not bring Qin Shuang to look for Xiang Huai. Instead, she went to school after having breakfast at home.

Hence, they did not meet today.

After a pause, Xiang Huai stood up and walked over to her side in a few steps before sitting down beside her. “Little kid, what a coincidence.”

“…”

Qin Shuang silently swallowed the taste of dog food in her mouth. She lowered her head. This taste was truly refreshing.

Still, Sister Xi’s boyfriend is really cool!

Xue Xi blinked and placed a piece of beef in her mouth. She suddenly felt that the meat today was a little sweet.

After swallowing the piece of meat, she replied with an “Oh.” Then, she suddenly realized that despite knowing him for so long, she actually did not know what he was usually doing.

He would wait for her in the provision store every morning, and after they’d had breakfast, she would go to school. But after that, what was this man doing? How did he do for lunch? Did he always come to this store to get food?

As Xue Xi’s imagination ran wild, Xiang Huai reached out and knocked on the table in front of Qin Shuang. “I prepared a surprise for you.”

Qin Shuang: “?”

Xiang Huai then lifted his chin and pointed at the farthest corner.

Qin Shuang instinctively looked over—and then her eyes widened!

The man sitting there was wearing a mask and a baseball cap, covering himself tightly. However, she could still recognize the person who was very familiar to her even if he’d turned into dust!

Isn’t this my husband, Cen Bai?!

She suddenly picked up her bowl and stood up. “Sister Xi, you guys eat slowly. I-I’ll go over there!”

However, when she walked over with the bowl, she suddenly felt that the more she thought about it, the more Sister Xi’s boyfriend seemed to have planned this to give both pairs some alone time.

…

During this time, Old Liu had returned to his office after having lunch.

He thought about it carefully and decided to call Qin Shuang’s father. When the call connected, Old Liu said, “Mr. Qin, I called you not because of Qin Shuang, but because of Qin Lu. She stopped Qin Shuang in the corridor today and insisted on making her drink water… Moreover, her eyes looked unfriendly.”
