Chapter 26 - Empathetic (2/2)

“He went missing….” Qin Fen had a bit of a lonely look.

“Really….” Song Jia followed him with a sigh.

“My brother is very strong. I’m sure that he wasn’t in danger when he disappeared.” Qin Fen spoke with confidence, “So I am waiting for a chance to find my brother.”

“Very strong?” This time Song Jia was surprised for real. She had some powerful investigations done on Qin Fen’s brother, but the result was a complete blank when it came to information pertaining to him. Nothing turned up at all when it came to what in he was doing and his current whereabouts.

“He’s very strong in my memories.” Qin Fen laughed, “It was just that my brother suddenly said he had to leave one day. He also said I should stand on my own two feet and live like a man. He disappeared the next day.”

“Really….”

Qin Fen’s memories from a long distant past seemed to instantly come back to him when he talked about his brother. Qin Fen, who normally didn’t talk much, couldn’t stop talking after opening his mouth.

Song Jia watched Qin Fen silently as he talked. His features were sharp and clear, and his eyes were shining with passion. She also observed his body and its near-perfect proportions. Aside from the grandmaster aura that exuded from his body, there was also the masculine air of a man. He was much better looking than the typical handsome-yet-smooth man by God knows how many fold.

He really was someone who became tastier the more one looked at him. Song Jia unconsciously became attracted to Qin Fen. Her initial curiosity had now turned into an interest in Qin Fen himself.

Their chat went on for several hours, and Qin Fen once again proved that he had an appetite of a king. He also proved that the military, with its free meals, was certainly a suitable place for him.

Sixteen servings of black pepper steak. Two servings of grilled fish. Nine cups of milk tea. Such a radiant battle record shocked the staff silly. It wasn’t that they’ve never seen a customer who could eat, but the way Qin Fen could eat was something they really hadn’t seen before.

“Full now?” Song Jia smiled very sweetly.

Qin Fen had a faint feeling that something was a bit off, but he still nodded and said, “Yep, I’m full.”

“Then come with me to go shopping!” Song Jia carried Qin Fen’s arm, not caring at all whether or not Qin Fen resisted.

“Excuse me, you haven’t paid the bill yet,” The staff kindly reminded them.

“Oh! Yeah!” Song Jia began to rummage though her purse, but Qin Fen had already handed over the money to the waitress.

“The heck are you doing?” Song Jia watched Qin Fen as he paid, “We said that I’d be the one treating you.”

“How can a man let a woman pay when eating out together?” Qin Fen smiled, “I may not be rich, but I don’t dawdle over paying a bill.”

Song Jia carefully studied Qin Fen once more before frowning in the end. She looked cute as she pondered, “Will you pay for every girl you eat out with? Or just me?”

Qin Fen swallowed after glancing at the chopsticks on the table. For an expert, that little thing could also be a tool for creating bloodshed. Song Jia’s gaze scanned the chopsticks on the table. The wrong answer would be a very dangerous matter.

“Just you,” Qin Fen answered, suddenly discovering that this wasn’t a lie. This was because he practically never ate with a girl before. Back then, Tian Tian had firmly refused him to pay. The only girl he really did pay a meal for was Song Jia.

“Excellent,” Song Jia nodded happily. “I’m very pleased.”

“‘Very pleased’ and ‘Very displeased’,” Qin Fen muttered to himself. These really were her catchphrases.
