Chapter 290 Who taught you that?
Fearing that Qin Ce wouldn't take him along, he planned to act first and ask for permission later, and stay at their house first.
"Weren't you going to participate in that city competition with Yang Han and the others?"
Qin Yi said, "That's after the New Year. Besides, I don't need to be on-site beforehand. I just need to log in. There will be a maximum of three sessions a day. So, where are you?"
"I'm in the car, heading to the small commodities market." They sell everything there, so going there is definitely the right choice.
"Coming right away."
Before Qiao Xing could speak, Qin Yi hung up, leaving Qiao Xing somewhat confused.
Upon arriving at the market, Qiao Xing paid the fare. Remembering that Qin Yi had said he would come, she stood at the entrance and waited for a while.
Less than ten minutes later, a taxi stopped in front of her. Qin Yi got out of the car, took a large black suitcase from the trunk, and walked up to Qiao Xing to greet her.
"sister in law."
Qiao Xing looked him over several times before speaking, "Are you carrying such a big suitcase to shop at the market with me?"
Qin Yi lifted the suitcase slightly. "It's not heavy. I can even help you pack some things."
What he said made perfect sense, and Qiao Xing couldn't refute it. "But why don't you just go to the Celestial Phenomenon Water Garden?"
"I'll go with you."
Qin Yi didn't show anything on his face, but Qiao Xing felt that he seemed embarrassed to go alone.
She was right. If Qin Ce didn't want her to go, Qiao Xing could put in a good word for her.
Qiao Xing didn't bother with him and let him follow him into the market.
It's a huge place, with stalls lined up one after another, and people everywhere.
Qin Yi followed behind her and said, "Sister-in-law, listen to me, just bring a few more power banks, no need to buy all that other stuff."
"You haven't been there either, have you?"
"I've never been to France, but I've been abroad."
Qiao Xing paused, turned around to look at him, and suddenly remembered something, "Then, do you speak French?"
"It's alright, I only know the basics, so communication shouldn't be a problem."
Qiao Xing was somewhat envious of him, and couldn't help but ask, "How many foreign languages do you speak?"
Qin Yi thought for a moment, "The Three Kingdoms?"
"English, French, and what else?"
"Korean language."
"Wow, that's impressive. So where do you work?" Qiao Xing suddenly remembered that it had been a while since he came here. Didn't he work?
Qin Yi touched his nose, somewhat embarrassed, "I'm not at work right now."
"Resigned?"
"Uh, more or less."
Qiao Xing was puzzled for a moment. What did that mean? She was too lazy to ask and continued to discuss the important matter. "Then could you teach me a few French phrases? Just everyday ones."
"You should ask my brother to teach you; he's more professional than me."
“He’s too busy. I’ll see if I can learn it first, so as not to waste his time.”
Qin Yi remained silent for a long while; with his mediocre skills, he was too embarrassed to speak.
But seeing the eagerness on Qiao Xing's face, he could only steel himself and ask, "Which one do you want to learn?"
"Just the most basic greetings: hello, goodbye, sorry."
Qin Yi opened his mouth, but swallowed the words that were about to come out. A hint of shyness appeared on his face. He stretched out a finger and scratched his forehead. "How about we buy things first and talk about it when we get back?"
Qiao Xing looked at him suspiciously, then glanced at the people around them. "There are so many people here, are you embarrassed?"
"A little."
Qiao Xing was amused by his appearance. "Okay, let's buy things first."
She bought several charging adapters, power strips, and, as Qin Yi suggested, several power banks and data cables, as well as chopsticks (she heard they didn't use chopsticks), and some other small items as gifts for Xue Ling and the others.
After coming out, she went with Qin Yi to buy some commonly used medicines.
These items were all packed in Qin Yi's box.
"I guess we don't need to buy anything, right?" Qin Yi's physical condition wasn't bad, but for some reason, after shopping with Qiao Xing for several hours, he felt very tired.
Qiao Xing thought for a moment, "I'll take another look at the strategy guide."
Qin Yi's lips twitched slightly. He reminded Qiao Xing again, "My brother has been abroad for so many years, he definitely has everything he needs, there's really no need to buy so much."
Seeing that he was getting tired of shopping, Qiao Xing hesitated for a moment, then put away her phone and decided not to make things difficult for him.
"Alright then, let's go home."
Qin Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief, quickly raised his hand to stop the car, and bumped the box into the trunk.
After getting in the car, Qiao Xing asked him to teach her French again.
Qin Yi was speechless, but he still forced himself to say a few words.
Qiao Xing studied it several times before she memorized it, and she planned to go back and test it on Qin Ce.
When she got home, she opened the door and invited Qin Yi in.
Qin Ce had already finished get off work and was standing on the balcony making a phone call.
Qiao Xing asked Qin Yi to take out the things they had just bought and packed them in a travel bag.
She walked towards the balcony, making almost no sound, but Qin Ce seemed to have eyes in the back of his head; before she even got close, he turned his head and looked at Qiao Xing.
Qiao Xing gave him an awkward smile.
Qin Ce spoke a few words to the person on the phone and then hung up. He saw Qiao Xing's hesitant expression and his brow twitched; he had a bad feeling.
Qiao Xing suppressed his embarrassment, coughed twice, and said, "Qin Ce, save him."
"What?"
"French, isn't that right?"
Who taught you that?
After saying this, Qin Ce looked past Qiao Xing and landed on Qin Yi in the living room behind.
Qin Yi pretended not to see his gaze, looked up at the ceiling, and then went to the refrigerator to find something to eat.
Qiao Xing noticed his gaze and felt a little uneasy. Could it be that Qin Yi taught her the pronunciation wrong?
Sure enough, Qin Ce spoke up the next second: "Wrong."
"Um... then what should I do?"
Qin Ce said, "The 'j' in 'Bonjour' cannot be pronounced as [j], it can only be pronounced as []. Say it again."
Qiao Xing hesitated for a moment before tentatively pronouncing the word.
Is this the right way?
Qin Ce nodded slightly, "Barely. If you want to learn, I can teach you. Don't go looking for those half-baked people."
Some half-baked individuals twitched their lips, pretended not to hear, and unscrewed the bottle of mineral water, taking a big gulp.
Qiao Xing pretended not to hear and said, "I've learned a few more. I'll discuss them with you after I finish cooking."
She bought some groceries on her way back, and then ran to the coffee table, picked them up, and went to the kitchen.
Qin Ce walked from the balcony into the living room, stood in front of Qin Yi, and looked down at him. "Are you going too?"
Qin Yi nodded. "I brought all my luggage with me. Did you buy a ticket? If not, buy one for me too."
Qin Ce stared at him for a few seconds, "Your French..."
Before he could finish speaking, Qin Yi interrupted him, "I'm a half-baked amateur."
Qin Ce fell silent.
Qin Yi added, "You're going abroad for the New Year, aren't you going to visit Grandpa?"
"Go pick him up for dinner." Qin Ce took the car keys out of his pocket and tossed them to Qin Yi, then added, "Don't let me see Shi Yi."
Just as Qin Yi was about to say that, Shi Yi was staying at the old man's house, and he would inevitably run into her if he went there. Qin Ce shut him up with a single sentence.
"Why do you hate her so much?" Qin Yi couldn't understand. "She's a really nice person."
"It's your business if you think she's good, it doesn't stop me from disliking her, go ahead."
Qin Yi sighed, grabbed his car keys, and resignedly walked out.
When they reached the door, Qin Ce called out to him again, "Wait."
