Where did Shen Ting go?
Who exactly is lurking around Scarface all day long?
The phone rings.
"Hey? Tiger, come to Dongcheng and help me investigate someone secretly... Her name is Zhao Shirui."
Chapter 198 Confession
Tianyuan Hot Pot Restaurant.
"Brother Jiang Fan~ Let's go to the internet cafe to play duos after we finish eating?" Shen Qi said with a grin as he ate crab sticks.
The stunningly beautiful girl and her alluring figure drew frequent glances from male passersby.
In the short time it took to eat, at least six men bravely rushed up to chat with her, seemingly unafraid of danger.
Shen Qi refused, as was her usual practice.
She seemed to possess an endearing quality, and no man would get upset if she was rejected.
Jiang Fan ate his favorite tofu puffs and shook his head slightly: "It's too dangerous. It looks like we won't be able to catch any fish today."
Shen Qi never felt that gaze again.
"You...Teacher Shen will be back tomorrow."
After finishing her water, Shen Qi stuffed a piece of chewing gum into her mouth: "Even if my sister comes back, it's no use. There's nothing we two weak women can do if we encounter a thug."
Jiang Fan wanted to reassure her: "Don't worry, we live in a society governed by law now, and there are cameras everywhere."
"Hmm~ If only my sister had a strong and capable boyfriend~"
Shen Qi deliberately blew bubbles while secretly observing Jiang Fan's micro-expressions.
If it were the Jiang Fan of the past, there might have been flaws.
But he is no longer an ordinary student.
He possesses immense wealth and remarkable abilities, and he's not a love-starved virgin.
The skills provided by the two goddesses allow him to maintain a state of composure, remaining unmoved by emotions.
Jiang Fan poured himself a glass of lemonade but didn't reply.
A strange feeling rose in Shen Qi's heart.
what happened?
Why is he still unmoved when his sister is mentioned?
When Mingming was alone with Jiang Fan, he still seemed reserved.
Why did he become so composed when he came to eat at the hot pot restaurant?
Did I guess wrong?
Are Jiang Fan and his sister unrelated?
In fact, Shen Qi had been rummaging through drawers and cupboards at home all night, trying to find proof that a man existed.
Jiang Fan did not stay overnight at Shen Ting's house many times.
The "human cub butt cover" left over from the last fierce battle had long been cleaned up by Shen Ting.
Therefore, there was no trace of anything suspicious in the house.
No, I have to ask!
Shen Qi's bubbles exploded.
"Jiang Fan, do you like my sister?"
Jiang Fan was completely baffled by the blunt question.
What happened to this child?
They don't play by the rules!
To answer "I like it"?
No, Shen Ting's character is that of a traditional, aloof female teacher.
She shouldn't tolerate a male student who has a crush on her entering her life.
Jiang Fan knew very well that Shen Ting was not the kind of woman who lacked a sense of self.
Teaching is her faith.
He also admires and adores the aloof and proud ice rose on the podium!
For the sake of Teacher Shen's public image...
Jiang Fan smiled slightly: "Why ask such a question? Are you interested in me?"
Shift the topic and turn the tables!
Jiang Fan no longer has the same straight-male mindset as before.
This trick was also learned from Lin Xue.
You don't necessarily have to answer every question someone asks you, right?
Since you little brat want to embarrass me... humph~ time flies.
Shen Qi really didn't expect Jiang Fan to pull such a move.
Her cheeks flushed, and her eyes looked somewhat embarrassed.
Jiang Fan sipped his drink with a satisfied smile, thinking to himself: I told you to ask all this nonsense, hmph~ you're embarrassed now, aren't you?
Shen Qi probably won't make a fool of herself again...
The blushing girl in front of me suddenly pressed her hands on the table.
His expression became extremely serious.
"I...I am indeed a little interested in Brother Jiang Fan."
Jiang Fan: "..."
Oops!
What expansion is this?
My damn charm!
Can you turn it off?
Jiang Fan scratched his head awkwardly: "Ahem~ I didn't mean that... I was just joking... I'm sorry."
Shen Qi's neck turned bright red with embarrassment.
She had never been in a relationship and didn't know how to get along with boys.
But in her mind, you have to fight hard for what you want; if you just sit around doing nothing and wait, nobody will pay attention to you!
"I...I'm not joking!"
Shen Qi spat out the chewing gum and spoke in a much louder tone.
"I...I really like Brother Jiang Fan...I want you to continue to be with me...watch over me and protect me...and play games together!"
Jiang Fan listened to the girl's somewhat naive confession.
My mind goes blank.
His first reaction was smug satisfaction; being liked by a beautiful woman is a really great thing.
Not to mention, Shen Qi is such a beautiful young woman.
Next, the brain takes over the game.
Shen Qi is Teacher Shen's younger sister.
In any case, he could not and should not touch the younger sister that Teacher Shen cared about the most.
Looking into the girl's eyes, which were both evasive and brave.
Jiang Fan sensed something was wrong.
I should have answered "I like Teacher Shen" earlier.
Actually, his answer is useless.
Shen Qi is that kind of straightforward girl.
Even if Jiang Fan is Shen Ting's boyfriend in name only... she still can't suppress her true feelings and will confess her love.
Jiang Fan had a sudden inspiration.
"Oh, I see~ I like Shen Qi too~ She's smart and beautiful, good at studying, and great at video games."
"How could any guy not like you?"
The innocent Shen Qi's eyes widened: "Really? Brother Jiang Fan likes me too?"
“Of course, everyone likes beautiful things,” Jiang Fan said with a smile.
Shen Qi noticed that his smile carried a sense of distance.
"No, that's not it... The kind of liking I'm talking about... is the kind of liking you see on TV!"
"It's the feeling of being in love with your boyfriend!" she said, mustering her courage.
Jiang Fan felt a mix of sadness and numbness after hearing this.
It was a feeling that was hard to describe.
I'm sorry, I can't let Teacher Shen down, and I can't destroy all my previous efforts.
Jiang Fan felt a pang of heartache, but a gentle smile appeared on his face.
"I'm sorry, I already have someone I like."
"I can't hurt her feelings, and I can't deceive yours."
"You're too young to understand what..."
Shen Qi's smile suddenly froze.
His eyes held an indescribable pain and loss.
Does Jiang Fan already have someone he likes?
If I do this... wouldn't I be like a mistress in a TV drama?
Why is this happening?
The naive Shen Qi completely failed to consider that relationships are a two-way street.
She is both confident and insecure.
It was her beauty that gave her confidence, making her believe that as long as she took the initiative to speak, Brother Jiang Fan would definitely agree.
"I...I'm sorry."
For the first time, Shen Qi felt the sensations of 'unable to obtain what she desired' and 'shame'.
Her tears were almost uncontrollable.
He could only flee the restaurant in a disheveled state, following his memories back to his sister's house.
Jiang Fan stared at the empty seats.
Was what I did right or wrong?
Accepting her confession and secretly dating her would be a betrayal of my feelings for Teacher Shen.
By refusing her confession, he hurt Shen Qi's true feelings.
At that moment, the voice of a demon rose from the depths of his heart.
"Idiot, what are you doing? That's a beautiful young woman who's just as stunning as Teacher Shen, and she'll only grow up to be even more gorgeous... Don't you want to have her? Why are you refusing!"
