Chapter 170 - Asking For A Favor (2)
Su Xiaofei's eyes glinted with delight as she pierced her fork into the cake slice on her plate, taking a bite of it, savoring its delicious taste with glee. Who would have thought that a place like this existed in Qiying City? The café was smaller and looked simpler than the ones she had visited previously with Lu Qingfeng, but their menu was far better than the previous ones.
"I take it, you like the place." Lu Qingfeng said as he took a sip from his black coffee. It didn't matter if he was young or an adult man, his palate was more accustomed to the taste of the coffee than traditional teas. This was the reason he used to have a collection of different coffees in his previous life.
"I don't like it," Su Xiaofei shook her head, "because I love it!" She corrected him.
The food here was really tasty, and they also offered low-calorie sweets for those who were health conscious but still wanted some sweets for their meals. The interior of the place was very beautiful. It was divided into different sections, meaning they provided tables according to age.
For example, older people were allocated spaces on the first floor. On the other hand, because most of the patrons were young people, the café provided a wide space and a variety of things for them.
"I would have never thought that something like this was near the Qiying city public market. I should have known about this earlier." Xi Qian couldn't help but agree with Su Xiaofei's opinion.
This café was called 'Hazel Brew Café'. It was located right in the city center, but it didn't have flashy signage like others. It seemed to be known for its authentic taste and quality ambience. This place has very comfortable furniture where they can sit for hours without getting tired and where one can enjoy a wide range of beverages and snacks.
"How did you end up finding this place anyway?" Su Xiaofei asked Lu Qingfeng.
Not only did the food taste amazing, even the way it was presented was appetizing. The best part was that one could enjoy music, which makes the experience of visiting this place enjoyable. In addition, this café was quite peaceful and undisturbed. They can sit here and enjoy gossiping without worrying about other patrons eavesdropping in their conversation.
The staff at this place was also very cordial. They spoke very politely and gave the best service experience. However, this place was a little expensive for common folks, so no wonder not many came to this place, aside from those who frequented here.
Lu Qingfeng lowered his cup and glanced out the window of the café.
"Actually, it was Nine who recommended this place to me. I was getting tired of the same taste and wanted to try something new. I also think it's nice to try something else before my departure."
"You are leaving?" Xi Qian was shocked upon hearing that, while Su Xiaofei frowned when he reminded her of it.
"En. I'll be moving to Shenjing after my graduation. Grandpa needs me there." Lu Qingfeng answered her.
Xi Qian looked at him and then to her best friend, whose smile immediately vanished from her pretty face. Su Xiaofei was obviously upset that Lu Qingfeng was leaving soon, but she couldn't do anything to stop him from leaving.
'Oh-uh, I can see why Lu Qingfeng is doubling his efforts to get Feifei's attention.' She thought. 'He wants to make sure that his place wouldn't be snatched by other men during his absence.'
It seemed like the topic had immediately dampened Su Xiaofei's mood, as she remained silent throughout their stay at the café, leaving Xi Qian feeling a bit guilty. When Su Xiaofei excused herself to use the powder room, leaving Xi Qian and Lu Qingfeng on their own, Xi Qian immediately questioned Lu Qingfeng.
"You are planning to return, right? If you leave, no one would be able to fend off Feifei's other suitors. You should know that she's starting to gain some popularity in school."
"Oh?" Lu Qingfeng seemed amused with her sudden curiosity. "I didn't know Miss Xi is partial towards me now, but I don't really feel threatened by them. Unless they are able to move Feifei's heart, or somewhat bewitch her like Mo Yuchen did, I have nothing to worry about."
Xi Qian scoffed and rolled her eyes.
"Still as arrogant as usual. I should have known better." She muttered, which only earned an amused smile from the little tyrant in front of her.
"But I would like to ask Miss Xi for a favor. Something that, I believe, only you could do for Feifei." He said.
Xi Qian raised a brow at him, wondering what he was up to this time.
"If you are asking me to chase away other men to ensure that no one would be able to sweep Feifei off her feet, then you are asking the wrong person." She scoffed and nibbled on her cookies.
"No. That's not it." Lu Qingfeng shook his head. "I only want you to stop Feifei from getting back together with Mo Yuchen. Whatever happens, even if that man grovel at Feifei's feet, don't allow Feifei to be deceived by that man."
Xi Qian opened her mouth to say something, but she suddenly realized that she didn't know what to say, as she hadn't anticipated that Lu Qingfeng would even ask her for such a favor. He was worried that Feifei would be tricked by Mo Yuchen and get back together with that man.
"It would be Feifei's decision whether she wants to be with him or not. It has nothing to do with me."
"Xi Qian. You know how Mo Yuchen has treated Feifei, right? You still haven't forgotten why she was engaged to him in the first place, right? In order for Mo Yuchen to get what he wants, he needs to deceive Feifei first."
