Chapter 398 What do you like about me?

Qiao Xing naturally wouldn't refuse, and placed her hand on the table. The nail technician, Kaka, took several photos of her.

Qin Ce walked over at some point, stared at her fingernails for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Are they so long? Is it convenient to type?"

The nail technician smiled and said, "You'll get used to it. It will definitely be a little inconvenient at first. Also, be careful not to scratch too hard, don't soak it in water, and remember to wear gloves when doing housework."

Qiao Xing nodded. "Okay."

Qin Ce then heard that one should wear gloves when doing housework.

He took out his phone, paid the bill, which came to 380 yuan, and the two of them walked out of the nail salon.

After coming out, Qiao Xing raised her hand and looked at it. It was sparkling in the light and looked really beautiful.

"Is it pretty?" She held her hand out to Qin Ce.

Qin Ce held her hand and examined it carefully for a moment. Her fingers were long and slender, and they looked even longer after the manicure.

"nice."

Qiao Xing grinned and took out her phone to take a picture. But when she tried to unlock it, she realized that her fingernail had poked the screen, and it took her a while to unlock it.

The same went for taking photos; she tried pressing the shutter button several times but couldn't get it to work, and she gradually got angry.

She handed her phone to Qin Ce, saying, "Take a picture for me."

Qin Ce calmly took out his phone and snapped a few pictures of her finger.

Qiao Xing then said, "Could you also post this on my WeChat Moments?"

Qin Ce did as he was told and posted a picture on his WeChat Moments. Before Qiao Xing could even think of a caption to add, he had already posted it.

Qiao Xing forced a smile. She gave up and took the phone back from his hand. "Where to next?"

"Let's go eat and watch a movie."

Qiao Xing had no objections, after all, she had just gotten a manicure and was busy admiring her beautiful fingers.

Then problems arose during the meal. She couldn't pick up the food with her chopsticks, and her nails were fighting as she gripped them. She had an urge to break them off, but then she remembered that she had spent 380 yuan, so she held back.

380 yuan, at least wear it for two days.

Qin Ce stared at her intently for a long time, and seeing that she couldn't pick it up with her chopsticks, he took the initiative to pick up a chicken wing for her and put it to her mouth.

"Thank you." Qiao Xing said, biting into a chicken wing, "I'll go find her to remove it for me the day after tomorrow, no, I'll go tomorrow. It's too inconvenient."

"Why remove it? It looks great."

Qiao Xing sighed, "It looks nice, but it's not practical or convenient. You can't even pick up a piece of food with it."

"I'll help you, don't take it off, just keep it on."

As he spoke, he picked up another piece of fish for her. The last time he fed her was when she was hospitalized, and he didn't usually have the chance.

Qin Ce glanced at her fingernails and found them increasingly pleasing to the eye.

Qiao Xing forced herself to eat the food he was fed. Luckily, this was a private room, and no one else could see them.

Out of the corner of her eye, Qiao Xing saw the man's focused expression and thought to herself, "Getting a manicure suddenly makes me unable to take care of myself."

But he showed no sign of impatience.

Qiao Xing's heart stirred slightly, and she subconsciously asked, "Qin Ce, you..." The words were on the tip of her tongue, but she was too embarrassed to ask.

"What?" Qin Ce looked up at her.

Qiao Xing's eyes darted away, and she asked shyly, "What do you like about me?"

"Beautiful," he said bluntly.

"..." Qiao Xing thought he was going to say something cheesy, but he just said something beautiful.

Qiao Xing suddenly felt a little hungry. "But there are so many beautiful people."

Qin Ce put down his chopsticks, thought for a moment and said, "I don't have to think so much when I'm with you. You wear your heart on your sleeve."

Are you praising me?

"Doesn't that count?"

"There are many people like that."

Qin Ce nodded slightly, "Yes, there are many, but I only need one."

Although his answer was acceptable, Qiao Xing still couldn't be happy. "If I were disfigured, would you still like me?"

"If I had been disfigured before I fell in love with you, I definitely wouldn't have liked you. But now it doesn't matter."

"Couldn't you just remove the first half of the sentence?"

Qin Ce pondered for a moment and said, "I will like it."

Qiao Xing suddenly felt a breath rising in his chest, neither rising nor falling, neither able to breathe nor laugh, leaving him completely at a loss for words.

"What if you get tired of looking at it?"

Qin Ce sighed and said helplessly, "It's not like I haven't seen beautiful women before. How could I possibly get tired of them?"

Qiao Xing thought about it and realized it made sense. He had probably seen more beautiful women than she had eaten salt, and more women had been eager to throw themselves at him than she had eaten rice.

If he falls in love with every woman he meets, the number of women he'd get tired of would probably circle Chongqing three times over.

If it weren't for Grandpa Qin forcibly bringing the two together, she would probably just be one of those many beautiful women to Qin Ce, someone he wouldn't even glance at.

Thinking about it this way, she still got a great deal.

She finally felt a little better, then pointed to the boiled fish and said, "I want to eat more fish."

Qin Ce picked up his chopsticks again and carefully fed her a piece of fish.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, the two went to the movie theater.

He bought tickets for the recently popular suspenseful detective movie. After picking up the tickets, he bought two large buckets of popcorn and milk tea. The names of the milk tea here weren't as fancy.

The two sat in the last row. The movie had a good plot and was full of suspense.

Qiao Xing ate popcorn and glanced at Qin Ce out of the corner of her eye. Qin Ce was sitting with his legs crossed and head propped up, looking quite casual, and was watching the movie intently.

In the third row in front of them, there was a couple huddled together, seemingly kissing. Qiao Xing could see this very clearly from her position.

This was the first time she had ever seen such a scene, and she reached out and gently tugged at Qin Ce's sleeve.

Qin Ce glanced at her sideways.

Qiao Xing raised his chin, gesturing for him to look down.

Qin Ce followed her directions and looked around, but he didn't understand what she meant.

"What?"

Qiao Xing leaned closer to him and whispered, "Count three rows ahead, and this is the spot for the two of us."

Qin Ce looked down and saw the couple. His expression suddenly became somewhat subtle.

Qiao Xing whispered in his ear, "See? They really know how to have fun."

After she finished speaking, she looked up and met Qin Ce's gaze, and the smile on her lips froze.

A bad feeling rose in Qiao Xing's heart, and he hurriedly sat back down.

Suddenly, she felt a tightness on the back of her head as a large hand pressed her back down, followed by a man's lips pressing against hers.

Qiao Xing's mind went blank; this man had clearly misunderstood her.

Before she could push him away, Qin Ce released her and gave her a light kiss.

But Qiao Xing's heart was pounding. He looked back and thankfully there was no one behind him.

She didn't have the guts to do such a thing in this kind of setting. Qin Ce's kiss made her feel guilty, like she had stolen a million dollars from a bank, and she was afraid of being discovered.

Qiao Xing couldn't bear to watch the rest of the movie; all she could think about was finishing it and getting out.

There was no one behind me, but there were people on both sides, so I might get seen.

Qin Ce, however, acted as if nothing had happened and continued watching his movie. It was clear that he quite enjoyed it.
