While Song Qi was in the restroom and Song Kai was away from the bar counter, Qing Qing smiled at the person she was talking to earlier, “Where did you see me that day?”
The person called Fengzi pointed outside the window, and the words “BenSe Bar” came into view across the street.
“You see, you can see BenSe’s bar counter from here. Song Qi saw you from there and hurried over to drag you out.”
Qing Qing covered her mouth laughing, “I didn’t expect it to be so close. I didn’t know you guys hung out there regularly.”
Fengzi said, “We rarely see Song Qi so anxious either, so it left a deep impression. However, sister-in-law, this is the third time I’ve seen you.”
Qing Qing was surprised and said, “How could that be? This is the first time I’ve met you!”
Fengzi said, “The first time was when you and Song Qi met for the blind date. Song Qi specifically arranged a private table for you two. You didn't see me then. The second time was when Song Qi dragged you out of BenSe Bar, and you didn't see me either. So this is the third time I've seen you, and your first time seeing me.”
It was Liu Baozhu!
When did Liu Baozhu and Song Qi get so close?
Qing Qing gritted her teeth. From the corner of her eye, she saw Song Qi walking over, so she stopped the topic and asked some unimportant questions instead, without halting her chat with Fengzi. By the time Song Qi sat down, their topic had turned to embarrassing stories from Song Qi’s childhood.
Qing Qing covered her mouth laughing while Song Qi fought back by recounting embarrassing stories from Fengzi’s childhood upon hearing him expose Song Qi's faults.
The night passed just like that.
On the drive home, Song Qi chatted with Qing Qing about his friends.
Qing Qing suddenly asked, “Who did you drag out of BenSe Bar that day?”
Song Qi was caught off guard. He blurted out “It was...” before catching himself, suddenly remembering his promise to Baozhu. He quickly changed his words, “You don’t know her. She was my former classmate whom I hadn’t seen in a long time. I happened to run into her so I went to say hi.”
Qing Qing didn’t say anything. She leaned her upper body against Song Qi. “Why did you think to bring me to meet your friends today? You should’ve told me earlier so I could dress up more.”
Song Qi complimented her, “You looked so beautiful today. You don’t need to dress up to dazzle their dog eyes.”
Qing Qing laughed and slid her hand from his right arm down to his fingers. “You say your brother has dog eyes. How about you then?”
Song Qi parked the car under a tree by the roadside, took off his seatbelt, and leaned over to seal her giggling lips with his.
After a brief murmur, Qing Qing lifted her head with her arms around his neck, letting him deepen the kiss.
When Song Qi finally left her lips, Qing Qing passionately said, “Song Qi, I’m very happy today. This is the first time you’ve brought me to meet your friends.”
Song Qi pinched her cheek. “I’ll bring you over more often from now on.”
In all the time we’ve dated, this is the first time you’ve brought me to meet them. Yet for the blind date you went through great lengths for Liu Director to arrange with Liu Baozhu, you arranged it here the very first time.
I guess this is the difference between active pursuit and being pursued, Qing Qing thought.
When Song Qi hinted that he didn’t want to take her home, Qing Qing coyly rejected his further suggestions and insisted that he take her back to her rented apartment.
After Song Qi had reluctantly left her almost an hour later, Qing Qing took off her high heels and changed into casual shoes. She took a taxi to the hospital dormitory.
She was very angry, so when she knocked on Liu Baozhu's door, she didn’t control her strength well. The motion sensor lights on the entire floor turned on.
But Liu Baozhu didn't respond. She wasn't at home. Out so late, the homebody actually wasn't home!
It was so late, yet the homebody showed up at a bar!
The homebody actually went to a bar alone?!
