Chapter 2049: Chapter 2048: Blind Date
In the afternoon, Jing Xiaocha arrived at the arranged café.
Not fond of being late, she arrived ten minutes early, but the other party hadn’t arrived yet.
After sitting down and ordering a coffee, Jing Xiaocha took out her phone to read an online novel. A few minutes later, a pleasant voice sounded beside her, “Miss Jing.”
Jing Xiaocha put away her phone and looked up to see the owner of the voice, Shi Tian, standing at the table in a dress shirt and trousers, looking handsome and carefree.
“Please have a seat, Mr. Shi.”
Jing Xiaocha greeted him with a generous smile.
Shi Tian sat down on the chair opposite her, ordered a coffee from the arriving waiter, and then gazed warmly at Jing Xiaocha.
He briskly introduced himself, “Although we met once before, to help Miss Jing understand me better, let me introduce myself again. My name is Shi Tian, 28 years old, and I am the only child in my family…”
Shi Tian revealed his family history in great detail.
“Mr. Shi, do you often recite your resume?”
Jing Xiaocha asked amusedly, Shi Tian raised an eyebrow, and then replied, “Of course not, though my parents often force me into blind dates, I never go into such detail with them.”
“Why?”
Jing Xiaocha found Shi Tian to be humorous and charming, and his smile was cheerful and carefree.
A man like this is definitely a heartbreaker.
Shi Tian responded matter-of-factly, “If I went into such detail with them, I would’ve been devoured long ago.”
“Pfft.”
Jing Xiaocha couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “You didn’t need to be so detailed today either.”
Shi Tian laughed, “Miss Jing is different. After seeing you once at the bar, I thought you were incredibly beautiful, cute, and straightforward. If I don’t introduce myself properly, it wouldn’t be good if you thought I was a bad person.”
“Cute and straightforward?”
Jing Xiaocha shook her head with a smile, “That doesn’t sound like a compliment.”
“Absolutely a compliment.”
Shi Tian laughed heartily and then earnestly added, “Yesterday Yi Han called me seriously instructing me to introduce myself clearly. If Miss Jing has any questions or things you don’t know, you can ask me; I promise to hold nothing back.”
“I don’t have any questions.”
Jing Xiaocha lowered her head and picked up her coffee to drink.
Shi Tian seemed very interested in Jing Xiaocha, “I heard Miss Jing is a writer and now a screenwriter?”
“I’m just a newcomer to the industry, can’t be called a writer or a screenwriter.”
Jing Xiaocha took a sip of coffee, placed the cup back on the table, and met Shi Tian’s gaze calmly.
“Compared to Miss Jing, I’m just a rough person. I wonder if Miss Jing minds being friends with a rough person.”
“If Mr. Shi is considered rough, then how would anyone else manage?”
Jing Xiaocha asked lightly.
“Xiaocha.”
A familiar voice suddenly sounded beside her, and Jing Xiaocha turned to see Jin Zheyu striding towards them.
She mentally complained, this Jin Zheyu, didn’t they agree this morning?
Why is he still here making a scene?
Shi Tian followed the voice to see Jin Zheyu approaching, amusement flickered in his eagle-like eyes, “Miss Jing, who is this?”
Yi Han didn’t tell him that Jing Xiaocha has a boyfriend.
Shi Tian’s eagle eyes scanned Jing Xiaocha and Jin Zheyu, and he dismissed the idea of them being romantically involved, thinking that Jin Zheyu must like Xiaocha.
He searched through his mind and remembered.
Not long ago, there were rumors in the newspapers about Jin Zheyu and Jing Xiaocha. He knows this Crown Prince of Star Summer Film and Television.
Jing Xiaocha secretly glared at Jin Zheyu and awkwardly introduced him to Shi Tian, “This is my senior, Young Master Jin of Star Summer Film and Television. Senior, this is Shi Tian…”
“Hello, Mr. Shi.”
Jin Zheyu proactively shook hands with Shi Tian.
Jing Xiaocha watched them shake hands, seeming reluctant to let go quickly.
She furrowed her brows slightly.
Shi Tian kept a smile on his lips, while Jin Zheyu’s expression gradually stiffened.
These two men were not merely shaking hands; they were subtly competing, and obviously, Jin Zheyu took a loss.
Just as Jing Xiaocha was about to speak, the two of them released their hands.
Shi Tian smiled and praised, “I heard the new film recently shot and highly anticipated by everyone was overseen by Young Master Jin. Young Master Jin is truly young and capable…”
“Mr. Shi is also very capable.”
Jin Zheyu’s hand was still sore, making him frustrated.
“Xiaocha, whenever you have time, you can visit the bar often; though it’s a mixed bag there, it’s a great place for novel material.”
Shi Tian ignored Jin Zheyu and instead gazed warmly at Jing Xiaocha.
Jin Zheyu snorted coldly, pulled out a chair, and sat down uninvited, “Xiaocha is a good girl, she doesn’t like going to messy places like bars.”
“Has Young Master Jin never been to a bar?”
Shi Tian wasn’t angry at Jin Zheyu’s words; instead, he looked at him with a smiling squint.
Jin Zheyu was momentarily choked, he wasn’t stupid, and he could clearly detect the hidden meaning in Shi Tian’s tone.
For a moment, he didn’t know how to respond.
Jing Xiaocha’s phone rang at that moment, breaking the tension between Shi Tian and Jin Zheyu. She quickly took out her phone, saw the caller ID, and immediately answered.
“Hello, Sister Wen.”
“Xiaocha, I’m downstairs in your apartment building, I’m not coming up; come down and we’ll go to school together.”
Wen Ran’s voice was gentle and pleasant, and Jing Xiaocha glanced at Jin Zheyu and Shi Tian. She was ready to leave, smiling as she replied, “Okay, Sister Wen, I’ll be right down.”
After hanging up, Jing Xiaocha politely explained, “Mr. Shi, Senior Jin, I have to go now. Will you continue chatting, or…?”
“Xiaocha, I’ll take you.”
“Miss Jing, I’ll take you.”
Shi Tian and Jin Zheyu spoke simultaneously, standing up with burning gazes directed at Jing Xiaocha.
Jing Xiaocha forced a laugh, “No need for you to take me, it’s just a few steps.”
“Miss Jing, here’s my business card. Please keep it, and we’ll get in touch later.”
Shi Tian didn’t insist, handing Jing Xiaocha a business card, but it was snatched away by Jin Zheyu.
He grinned with a hint of displeasure, “Mr. Shi can give this card to me. I enjoy making friends with people like Mr. Shi.”
Jing Xiaocha opened her mouth, a hint of worry appearing in her eyes.
Shi Tian generously laughed, “If Young Master Jin likes it, take it.”
After he spoke, he didn’t give Jing Xiaocha another card but smiled and said, “Miss Jing, I have your number, I’ll contact you later.”
“…”
Jin Zheyu’s handsome face darkened, and his gaze at Shi Tian showed a trace of anger.
Shi Tian’s warm and elegant smile made Jin Zheyu appear immature, like a childish kid.
Jing Xiaocha saw Jin Zheyu’s dark expression and murmured, “Let’s talk later then.”
