PDLP Chapter 21: The Unexpected Miss Jin
Chapter 21: The Unexpected Miss Jin
"You're the one who got plastic surgery!"
Lin Bei slowly stood up from the ground, dusted himself off, rubbed his aching lower back, and glared at Song Qingning with annoyance:
"I just got a haircut, is it really that hard for you to not notice?"
"I think you guys are doing this on purpose, trying to use this as an excuse to beat me up."
Su Qianqian lowered her head somewhat shyly and did not speak.
"This isn't just a haircut, is it?" Song Qingning looked Lin Bei up and down, her round face filled with disbelief.
"You look like you've had a completely new head!"
"Was that cool, slightly roguish guy from earlier really you?"
Su Qianqian took a few steps back and carefully examined Lin Bei.
He used to always have thick bangs and messy flaxen hair that almost covered most of his face.
He looked颓废 and gloomy.
Now that his bangs are no longer covering his face, his already handsome features and face are fully revealed.
With relaxed eyebrows and eyes, a full forehead, and a refreshing short haircut, along with an unintentionally confident gaze, she looks like a completely different person.
Su Qianqian also felt that Lin Bei at this moment was indeed very handsome and clean-cut, better looking than most boys.
Even so, in her heart, her husband is the most handsome man in the world.
Although she didn't know what her husband looked like, and had never seen a photo of him.
But a guy who is as gentle, considerate, and ambitious as my husband can't be too bad.
At this moment, Song Qingning's round face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
She looked at Lin Bei's collar, which was slightly open after the fall, and the lines of his arms full of male hormones, and her heart was pounding like a deer.
I never expected... that stinky Lin Bei would actually be so handsome!
How come I never noticed this before?
She always knew Lin Bei was handsome, but she never expected him to be this handsome—it was almost too much!
"What shall we eat?" Lin Bei rubbed his lower back and looked at the two people in front of him who were deep in thought.
Before Song Qingning could speak, Su Qianqian said, "Um... I'll treat you to dinner."
Consider this an apology for my recklessness earlier.
Lin Bei immediately waved his hand: "This isn't your fault, you don't need to apologize."
"Exactly!" Song Qingning snapped out of her daze, put her hands on her hips, and looked at Lin Bei: "He deliberately pretended to be a thug to scare us, so he deserved to get a beating."
"You'll know next time that you can't just harass people on the street."
After saying that, she pulled Su Qianqian away: "Let's go eat hot pot. I know a place with extra spicy broth that's really delicious."
Lin Bei watched the two figures disappear into the distance and shook his head helplessly.
Song Qingning is absolutely right. We should make fewer jokes like this in the future. We were lucky this time that we didn't get hurt, but we might not be able to next time.
Just as the three of them left one after another.
The boys who had been hesitating and wanting to strike up a conversation with Su Qianqian all slunk away.
I'm glad I held back and didn't go up to bother them.
Otherwise, the over-the-shoulder throw just now would have been the end result.
It looks painful!
……
A few minutes later.
Song Qingning led Su Qianqian and Lin Bei to a hot pot restaurant.
The shop is not large, but it is nicely decorated, exuding a clean and warm atmosphere.
There are many people eating here. It's not even 12 o'clock yet, and the place is already almost full.
There were nearly fifty customers eating in the shop, and the sounds of laughter and clinking bottles filled the air.
Lin Bei opened a bottle of beer as soon as he sat down and immediately drank more than half of it.
After drinking the chilled beer, my previously irritable and hot mood instantly calmed down.
Even my back, which had been sore, felt much better.
Lin Bei put down the wine bottle and looked at Su Qianqian and Song Qingning sitting opposite him.
Song Qingning was holding her phone, tilting her head to talk to Su Qianqian, both of them smiling.
Once the food was served, the piping hot spicy broth began to churn and release its sizzling, spicy aroma.
With a happy expression, Song Qingning put the sliced meat into the pot, and added some meatballs and other ingredients.
Once the meat slices were cooked, she first picked up a slice for Su Qianqian, then a slice for Lin Bei, and finally picked up a slice of meat and put it into her own bowl.
"start!"
Song Qingning chuckled, picked up a slice of meat dipped in sauce, and put it directly into her mouth.
"Ouch... It's so hot..."
Despite gasping for breath from the heat of the meat, she didn't spit it out. After chewing it a few times, she swallowed it whole.
Su Qianqian didn't say much, and ate the meat elegantly, her pretty face soon turning slightly red.
She picked up an iced drink and drank it to cool down from the heat and spicy smell.
Lin Bei ate a few bites of meat, then looked at the two people in front of him, somewhat surprised.
Song Qingning is one thing.
After all, Lin Bei and she grew up together, their families were neighbors, and their quality of life was similar.
It's not surprising that she frequents these kinds of small restaurants.
But Su Qianqian is the daughter of the Su Group, and her parents' assets are already over 100 million yuan, so her conditions are not ordinary.
Given that, why would Su Qianqian like to eat this kind of street food?
When wealthy families dine out, they go to expensive Western restaurants, drink 82 Lafite, and eat steaks that are flown in from abroad. They would never try food from small restaurants, as they feel it is unhygienic and would lower their social status.
After all, that's how it was portrayed in short dramas from my past life.
Su Qianqian, even in high school, never had the airs of a rich girl. She did everything herself and never cared about her meals.
That's why none of Su Qianqian's classmates, including Lin Bei, realized her true identity.
Lin Bei didn't think much of it and continued eating hot pot and drinking beer.
Many of the boys eating around Lin Bei glanced at him from time to time, their faces filled with envy.
Having dinner with a beautiful woman is a dazzling thing in itself.
Well, that's great, he actually has two beautiful women by his side.
The key point is that they are also good-looking, handsome and pleasing to the eye. The three of them are a perfect match.
Lin Bei felt they had eaten enough, so he looked up at Song Qingning and asked, "After dinner, do you want to continue shopping?"
"Yeah, right." Song Qingning swallowed a piece of luncheon meat and nodded. "We didn't have enough fun this morning, so we're going to continue this afternoon."
"Will you come with us?"
Lin Bei hurriedly waved his hand: "Never mind, I'm going to the driving school this afternoon to practice driving and get my driver's license during the summer vacation."
"Getting a driver's license?" Song Qingning asked in surprise. "You haven't even bought a car yet, why would you need a driver's license?"
Lin Bei: "Let's test it first as a backup."
Once he gets to university, he'll be busy doing business and making money, so he won't have time for these little things.
Besides, once the money earned from warrants comes in, buying a car will be a piece of cake.
