The streamer is being too gentle with her, but the super-rich man can't handle it.

Chapter 276 Invitation

The green light comes on.

Zhou Yanchuan released his grip on the steering wheel, smoothly shifting gears and accelerating. His movements were so natural that it was as if the brief moment of tenderness just moments before had been nothing but her illusion.

Only the lingering warmth on the back of my hand testifies to the reality of that moment.

Xiao Jiu quietly withdrew her hand, her fingertips curling as if trying to retain that little bit of warmth. She turned her head to look at the street scene receding outside the window, but couldn't help but let a smile quietly creep onto her lips. This feeling was really good, just as she had thought, she liked it.

Zhou Yanchuan caught a glimpse of her barely concealed smile out of the corner of his eye, and a smile also curved his own lips in a way that went unnoticed.

The car finally came to a smooth stop at Xiao Jiu's school gate.

"We've arrived," Zhou Yanchuan said, his voice steady.

Xiao Jiu unbuckled her seatbelt but didn't get out of the car immediately. She turned to look at him: "This lunch was delicious; I really enjoyed it."

"I'm glad you like it." Zhou Yanchuan looked at her and felt that everything today was wonderful when he heard her say she liked it. "I'll take you to eat taro chicken next time."

Instead of asking "when is the next time," they directly decided on the content. Xiao Jiu's eyes crinkled into a smile: "Okay!"

She pushed open the car door, one foot already outside, but then suddenly turned back. The sunlight outlined the delicate lines of her neck.

“Brother Yanchuan,” she called out, her voice soft but clear, “I’ve received your praise for your abilities.”

After saying that, before Zhou Yanchuan could react, she jumped out of the car like a nimble deer, closed the door, waved to him through the car window, turned around and merged into the crowd at the school gate, quickly disappearing from sight.

Zhou Yanchuan sat alone in the car, watching the bustling school gate, without making a move for a long time.

He seemed to snap out of his daze when a horn blared from behind him.

He raised the hand that had just held hers and brought it to his nose, as if he could still smell that faint, sweet fragrance that belonged to her.

"Received it?" he repeated in a low voice, his dark eyes swirling, finally transforming into a very soft, confident laugh.

"This is nothing."

Xiao Jiu returned to her dorm with the desserts she had packed and shared them with her roommates.

How was the date?

The group looked at Xiao Jiu, whose face was slightly flushed, with a mischievous grin.

"Did you kiss?"

"Have you held hands yet?"

The group of people asked questions one after another, and Xiao Jiu picked up the desserts she had brought back and stuffed them into their mouths.

"Oh dear, even food can't shut you all up. You have so many questions, how am I supposed to answer them?"

"Just answer them one by one, it's okay, we're not in a hurry." The afternoon class didn't start until around three o'clock.

"The date was alright. The food at that restaurant was pretty good, especially their spicy chicken, which was very fresh and tender."

Xiao Jiu reminisced about lunch today, feeling that she could go back to eat there a few more times. She really liked their spicy chicken and chicken soup, and the other chicken dishes were delicious too (?＞?＜?).

"Um, Jiu Jiu, why did you only focus on eating on your date? Didn't you develop anything else?" The group continued to ask, unwilling to give up. Who doesn't like to gossip about their best friend's love life, especially a handsome man and a beautiful woman? What's the difference between that and shipping them?

"Nothing else, we held hands, and it felt pretty good. His hands were quite big, and they felt nice to touch, warm and cozy. They would be perfect for warming hands in winter."

"Mmm, it tastes so sweet."

Although nothing particularly special happened, the two of them still seemed so sweet together. Maybe it's because they're both attracted to good looks; just looking at their appearances, they felt like a perfect match.

As evening approached, Xiao Jiu's phone screen suddenly lit up; it was a video call invitation.

Caller ID – [Wen Qiyu]

Xiao Jiu's lips instinctively curled into a smile as she swiftly swiped to answer the call. Wen Qiyu's handsome face immediately appeared on the other end of the screen; his handsomeness was different from Zhou Yanchuan's.

"Brother Yu," Xiao Jiu's voice was sweet and clear, carrying a hint of excitement as she answered his call, "Did you miss me?"

Wen Qiyu looked at her, his eyes crinkling into a smile, his tone as gentle as ever: "Hmm, I wanted to see if our Jiu Jiu got any sun exposure today."

"No, I didn't go out much today. Except for having lunch with Brother Yanchuan, I spent the rest of the time going back and forth between the dormitory and the classroom."

As soon as Xiao Jiu heard his words, she knew that he knew about her date with Zhou Yanchuan that day, and she told him directly.

She only agreed to be with them after asking if they minded; if anyone minded, then she would have to back out.

Anyway, she can't possibly have only one man. Their lifespan is only a hundred years, but she can have many hundred years. She won't close her heart and soul for anyone.

Foxes are the most carefree. When they meet someone they like, they get together, and even if it's just a fleeting romance, they won't feel regret, since they've already been together.

"Did you have fun?... With Zhou Yanchuan?" Wen Qiyu knew what the girl was thinking. He didn't want to let go, but he felt a little jealous when he heard that the two of them went out on a date alone. He didn't mean to interrogate her. Besides, in this relationship, Jiu Jiu was in a dominant position, so it didn't seem to be his place to interrogate her.

"It's pretty good. The food at that restaurant is quite good. They have a spicy chicken dish that's really delicious, and the desserts are good too. We can go together next time."

Xiao Jiu has a bright smile on her face. She loves sharing her favorite foods with those close to her.

When Wen Qiyu heard her say "next time" and "we," the bitterness he felt just moments before was instantly replaced by sweetness. She remembered him; didn't that mean she cared about him?

“Okay, I also know a restaurant that specializes in chicken, and it tastes pretty good. You really like chicken, right? We can go try it together.” He knew, you could say they both knew, that the little girl liked chicken, a habit that was quite like a little fox.

Foxes love to eat chicken.

"Really? Then let's go try it together tomorrow night." Xiao Jiu didn't wait for Wen Qiyu to make an appointment with her. As soon as she heard that there was delicious chicken, she set a time herself. She was determined to go and try this restaurant that specializes in chicken and see how delicious their chicken dishes were.

This restaurant was invested in by Wen Qiyu. It not only serves chicken, but also other meats. However, in order to lure a young girl to come and eat with him someday, he specially created a menu just for her and found several chefs who were good at cooking chicken.

Opportunities are for those who are prepared, and sure enough, he achieved his goal.

"Okay, I'll pick you up tomorrow night."

Wen Qiyu's smile softened even more; he had achieved his goal for making the call today.
