Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Meet the protagonist on a blind date!

Zijinhua Restaurant is a mid- to high-end Western restaurant with huge floor-to-ceiling windows outside and high ceilings inside. The restaurant is spacious and bright, exuding a remote and elegant atmosphere. Li Huanhuan usually doesn't like to come to this kind of restaurant with bright, white and cold colors. He always feels that it is too high-end and uncomfortable. He feels out of place and cramped when sitting inside.

"Miss, welcome. Do you have an appointment?" the receptionist at the door asked with a smile.

"Yes." Li Huanhuan quickly reported the seat number.

The staff led her in.

When she entered, she deliberately looked through the glass door.

Aunt?

Li was still imagining the misunderstanding just now, and still felt a little unconvinced. Is she that old?

However, the figure reflected in the glass door was wearing an old and bulky black coat, his hair was messy from running, and an orange scarf covered most of his face. Only a pair of tired eyes with dark circles from staying up late for a long time were exposed, and his whole body was unkempt.

"Hey, why did you take this coat?" Li Hao fantasized about covering his face.

The coat was something she had bought upstairs in the vegetable market. It was a bit old and had pilling on the surface. She usually wore it when she went downstairs to buy groceries or pick up packages.

Hiss, it is indeed easy to be mistaken when viewed from behind.

It was a bit disrespectful for a blind date, but it was too late to change it. Li Huanhuan raised his hand and tried to press down his hair.

The restaurant was spacious. She followed the staff inside and soon saw the group of people she had just met. She immediately felt embarrassed. She wanted to turn her head away, but was seen by the red-haired guy who bumped into her.

"Ah, isn't this the sister from before?" Red-haired Hu Xun raised his hand and greeted enthusiastically.

The voice was so cheerful that Li couldn't even pretend he didn't see it, so he turned his head stiffly and smiled awkwardly at Hu Xun. Then when he turned around, he inevitably noticed the person sitting with Red Hair.

There were five of them in the group.

The red-haired Hu Xun who bumped into her in the green belt, the fit boy Zhou Jianyu who helped her pick up her phone, the short-haired girl who was dressed coolly, and the gentle boy with glasses...

Li Huanhuan didn't take it seriously as they had just met briefly before, but now looking back, he felt that this group of good-looking men and women looked familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere before. But she swore that this was definitely the first time they had met.

Finally, she looked at the boy sitting in the middle with confusion. He was wearing a short bright gray down jacket and black Martin boots.

After Hu Xun spoke, the boy also raised his head, and a very impactful face entered Li Huanhuan's sight: unique eyebrows, deep and mysterious eyes, a high nose bridge, and plump and sexy red lips.

A wild and lively face!

Li Huanhuan's originally peaceful and relaxed world was hit by the owner of the face with a "bang".

main character? Qin Dynasty?

Li Huanhuan was stunned.

After learning that the world he was in was a book, Li Huanhuan searched for Qin Shi on the Internet and found out what Qin Shi looked like. Although she has gradually forgotten "The Protagonist" and "Awakening of the Passerby" in the past two years and her life has returned to normal, she still remembers Qin Shi's appearance.

She never expected that she would meet the protagonist in the real world? !

No wonder I felt that Hongmao and the others looked familiar before. It turns out that they were Qin Shi’s teammates and colleagues, and had appeared in e-sports news before.

Is Qin Shi having dinner here with his teammates?

At this time, Li Huanhuan had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter and only felt a little surprised. After her initial surprise, she quickly calmed down.

[Meeting the protagonist of the world in a restaurant], this may be the new plot that the world has arranged for her as an "awakened NPC".

"Miss, this is table 17." The staff member nearby reminded.

Li Huanhuan subconsciously turned her head and wanted to go forward, but found that the staff was looking behind her. Li Huanhuan was stunned for a moment, and followed the direction indicated by the staff, his eyes fell back on Qin Shi's table, and then he saw a number plate [17] on the table.

Huh?

Table 17? !

Li Huanhuan's eyes widened.

Did they take the wrong seat, or did she take the wrong way? The person she was going on a blind date with was the protagonist's... teammate?

When Li Huanhuan was confused, Hu Xun, who had just greeted her, also heard her conversation with the staff.

"Sister, are you also at table 17? Could it be..."

He stared at Li Huanhuan, then turned his head in surprise and looked at Qin Shi who was sitting next to him, "Qin Shi, this sister, isn't she the one you're going on a blind date with today?"

Who, who is she going on a blind date with?

Li Huanhuan's body shook and he looked towards Qin Shi.

Qin Shi happened to be looking at her at this moment.

They looked at each other in surprise.

"Really? What a coincidence." Someone whispered.

Yeah, what a coincidence.

But at this moment, no one was more shocked than Li Huanhuan.

Li Huanhuan stared at Qin Shi's handsome and wild face. He was indeed good-looking, but her mother did not tell her that the man she was going on a blind date with was called Qin Shi.

Qin Shi, the protagonist of the novel?

How is that possible?

Was it because her posture when she went out today was wrong, or the order of her steps was wrong? Or did something weird happen along the way? I didn't see flocks of crows flying, or wild cats suddenly speaking human language.

Although the world in his mind was collapsing and shaking like a magnitude 10 earthquake, Li Huanhuan did not show it on his face. He just looked a little dazed.

Qin Shi, who was sitting opposite, didn't think so much.

He raised his head and looked at her with his flamboyant face: "I am Qin Shi."

Li Huanhuan tightened his grip on the backpack: "Li Huanhuan."

Qin Shi glanced at her from head to toe and said in a cold tone: "Please sit down."

Li Huanhuan paused for a moment and sat down opposite him.

"Li Huanhuan?" I heard someone ask as I sat down.

Li Huanhuan raised her head and saw that it was the short-haired, muscular boy who helped her pick up her phone. Now she already knew the other person's identity, it was Qin Shi's teammate Zhou Jianyu, who was also very popular in the book, and the red-haired guy who bumped into her was Hu Xun.

Li Huanhuan was not surprised that Zhou Jianyu called her name wrong, because it is easy for people who meet for the first time to mispronounce her name. She explained: "Li Huanhuan, Li as in "peach and plum blossoms grow into a forest", Huan as in "return home", and Huan as in "fantasy".

Hu Xun glanced at the silent Qin Shi and asked, "Sister, how old are you this year?"

The restaurant staff brought water.

Li Huanhuan held the cup and took a sip: "26 years old."

"Wow, two years older than Qin Shi."

When Li Huanhuan heard what Hu Xun said, he subconsciously looked towards Qin Shi.

Qin Shi's face was very superior, especially his eyes. Li even imagined the description of these eyes in the book:

[Qin Shi has a pair of deep, cold eyes. If you see him on the field, you will feel the cold trembling of being stared at by a wolf king; but if you see him in bed, it will be a pair of exciting eyes...]

“Ahem…”

Li Huanhuan was choked by the water.

"Sister, are you okay?" Hu Xun asked with concern.

Someone handed her a tissue.

"Ahem, thank you." Li Huanhuan thanked him.

When she took it, she noticed that the hand handing her the paper was very beautiful, slender, white, and strong. Li also fantasized about the cliché metaphor, "a pair of hands that are perfect for playing the piano."

She was stunned for a moment, then looked up and found that the owner of the hand was Qin Shi.

"Thank you, thank you." She was a little surprised.

Qin Shi withdrew his hand, nodded lightly, then looked at the water cup on the table in silence, not knowing what he was thinking.

Li Huanhuan pinched the paper ball and calmed down from his initial shock.

No matter what went wrong in the book, which led her, a passerby, to go on a blind date with the protagonist, this blind date was destined to be fruitless.

Not to mention her identities as a [passerby] or [protagonist], her name does not appear in Qin Shi's story at all. The fact that Qin Shi brought so many friends to the blind date alone has already shown his attitude: he doesn't want to go on a blind date!

Coincidentally, Li Huanhuan thought so too.

Since both parties have this tacit understanding, the next step will be easy.

At this time, the staff brought the menu. Qin Shi, who was sitting opposite, took the menu and looked through it. He raised his head and asked Li Huanhuan: "What do you avoid eating?"

"Don't mind me."

Li Huanhuan quickly waved his hand, "I have something else to do later. I have an appointment with a friend."

After these words were spoken, Qin Shi's hand holding the menu paused. Qin Shi's friends also looked at her.

Li Huanhuan didn't think there was anything wrong.

The food in this restaurant is average, but the prices are not cheap. Li Huanhuan doesn't want Qin Shi to treat her, but she herself doesn't want to be a sucker and spend money. It would be better for her to take the initiative and everyone can part ways in peace.

Of course, the reason was a bit far-fetched, but Qin Shi didn't want to go on a blind date with her. Li Huanhuan felt that since they had such a tacit understanding between them, Qin Shi would definitely understand her hint.

Qin Shi's lively face showed no surprise, he just raised his eyebrows slightly: "What's the matter?"

"Yeah yeah."

Although she knew it was acting, Li Huanhuan still tried to make herself look convincing, "I made an appointment with a friend to buy cat food. I have a cat at home, and the cat food just ran out. Sorry."

As he said this, he stood up and looked like he was about to leave.

Qin Shi's eyes flashed with an inexplicable look, and he stuffed the menu into Zhou Jianyu's arms: "Since you have something to do, let's go first."

"Sorry to bother you, goodbye everyone." Li Huanhuan said while grabbing his backpack and left quickly.

The scene was silent.

Qin Shi's friends all looked at him at the same time.

"What's wrong with Qin Shi? He was not favored by others?" Hu Xun scratched his head.

Qin Shi leaned back in his chair with his arms around his shoulders, remaining silent without saying "yes" or "no".

"You're the only one who talks too much!"

Zhou Jianyu picked up the menu and patted Hu Xun on the head, "Don't be stunned, take a look at what to eat? Tsk, the dishes here look very ordinary."

"Huh~" Li Huanhuan came outside and breathed a sigh of relief.

She clutched her backpack and looked back at the brightly decorated Western restaurant behind her.

She actually came out like this? After all, he is the protagonist in Qin Shi, so he should ask for an autograph or something. At this moment, she was in the mood to joke. I was extremely nervous inside before.

But then...

Li Huanhuan looked at the time on his mobile phone and decided to find a place to have lunch first.

Qin Shi and his teammates were having dinner at Zijinhua. Li Huanhuan didn't feel comfortable eating nearby, so he took the bus two stops away and found a noodle restaurant to fill his stomach.

After dinner, Li Huanhuan took out his mobile phone, searched for navigation, and prepared to take the bus back. On the way to the bus stop, she spotted a pet supply store. Thinking of the reason she left the Zijinhua Restaurant, which was to buy cat food for her cat, Li Huanhuan hesitated for a moment, then turned and walked towards the pet supplies store.

"Welcome~"

The pet supply store was bigger than Lee had imagined.

She walked around inside a few times and found the shelf selling cat food. It’s just that the cat food brands on the shelves are not the ones she is familiar with.

After hesitating, she picked up a green bubble bag.

"Sister, this cat food is not good! The formula is too greasy. Cats will develop black chins if they eat too much." Suddenly, a serious male voice sounded behind her.

Li Huanhuan turned her head and saw a blond boy in his 20s stroking his chin. He stood behind her with a serious face and stared at the green bubble cat food in her hand.
