Chapter 26 - Empathetic (1/2)

“How about we go find that couple and cause a bit of trouble?” Song Jia proposed.

“No,” Qin Fen shook his head, “Even though they did the infuriating thing of betting on my actions, they did save my life in the past. If they hadn’t given me that money back then, I might be dead from starvation by now. Let’s just say we’re even.”

Song Jia patted Qin Fen on the shoulder, “Excellent, I’m very pleased.”

The waitress arrived with their steaks at this time, leading Qin Fen to discover a very important problem.

He didn’t know how to eat Western food! If he was given a combat knife, then Qin Fen was confident that he could create a powerful gale with his skills in wielding it. It wouldn’t be a problem for him to sever the heads of a few tigers. However, when it came to using a small knife to deal with the steak before his eyes? Now that was a big problem!

A wisp of a sly and crafty light streaked through Song Jia’s eyes. With a smile, she raised her hand to speak to the waitress who was about to leave, “Apologies, can you give us two pairs of chopsticks?”

“Chopsticks?” The waitress looked at Song Jia with a bit of astonishment. She wore brand-name casual clothes, and her manners revealed a high status that was out of the norm.

Such a temperament and manner of dressing meant that she should be able to tell the age of a red wine even if a bottle without a label was given to her. How could she not know how to use a knife and fork?

“What’s the matter? Is there a problem?” Song Jia gave a slight tilt of her head as she asked.

“Huh?” The waitress recovered from her shock and began shaking her head over and over, “Nothing! Nothing at all!”

Asking for chopsticks in a western restaurant wasn’t something that happened everyday, but it did happen often. The waitress was already used to it.

“Thanks.”

“This is the third time you’ve said thank-you to me.” Song Jia pouted with her tiny mouth again, “I’m very displeased with all of the insincere thank-yous.”

Qin Fen gave a helpless nod, as he suddenly realized that Lady Song really liked to use a few certain words.

“I’m very pleased.” “I’m very displeased.” Could this be her catchphrase? Qin Fen was quite baffled. What an odd catchphrase to have.

Using the chopsticks the waitress gave them, Song Jia ate her steak in a bit unladylike fashion. Qin Fen suddenly got a certain feeling from this. A feeling that this girl wasn’t that far away from him.

“What’s up? This little miss sure looks beautiful when she’s eating, right? You’re dazed just by watching,” Song Jia didn’t cover it at all.

“Very beautiful…. I was just lost in thought, though. Not dazed,” Qin Fen felt a little diffident when saying these words. Song Jia had become very intimate within the recent period of time.

“Lies!” Song Jia smiled like a proud fairy, “I’m very displeased with your answer. As punishment, say what you were thinking when you decided to join the military. Don’t say stuff that everyone already knows.”

Qin Fen realized that this goddess’s thoughts were quite meticulous. Of course, her mind also possessed the gossip mentality that every girl had.

After his thoughts settled for a moment, Qin Fen said, “Where do you want me to start?”

“From the beginning. We have a lot of time left in the day,” Song Jia wanted to gain a greater understanding of Qin Fen’s affairs.

“I have a big brother.”

“Oh?” Even though she knew of Qin Fen’s family relationships early on, Song Jia still put on an act. She expressed astonishment as she said, “Then how come I’ve never met him before?”
