Qin Shi looked down at Ye Nianzhen, blinked innocently. He was usually very calm; it was this person who wasn't calm.
Luo Xing released her grip and turned to check on Ye Nianzhen: "How are you? Are you alright? Who is this person? Why did he treat you like that?"
Ye Nianzhen gently patted Luo Xing's hand to reassure him, then turned to Qin Shi and gave him a wink.
She said softly, "Luo Xing, this is Qin Shi, a friend of mine from abroad. I didn't expect him to suddenly appear here and cause such a misunderstanding."
Upon hearing this, Qin Shi quickly explained, "Yes, I had some things to take care of when I returned to China this time. I didn't expect to run into Ye Nianzhen here. I got so excited that I forgot my manners. I'm really sorry."
Luo Xing's anger gradually subsided after listening to their explanations, but his gaze toward Qin Shi remained wary.
He didn't want anyone to approach Ye Nianzhen for no reason, especially someone who looked like someone you didn't want to mess with.
Ye Nianzhen seemed to sense Luo Xing's emotions. She smiled slightly and said to Qin Shi, "Qin Shi, this is Luo Xing, a friend I recently met. He's very interesting, and we have a lot in common."
Upon hearing this, Qin Shi's gaze lingered on Luo Xing for a moment before he nodded in greeting.
Although Luo Xing was still uncomfortable, he didn't make a scene. After all, Ye Nianzhen had said that this was her friend, and he couldn't go too far.
As a result, the atmosphere among the three gradually eased, and Ye Nianzhen suggested going to a nearby coffee shop to sit down and chat about their respective matters.
In the coffee shop, Qin Shi spoke first, explaining why he had returned to China and giving a brief description of the dreams that had been bothering him.
Luo Xing was somewhat surprised as she listened to Qin Shi's words. She hadn't expected that this seemingly rude man would have such strange dreams.
Ye Nianzhen, on the other hand, remained calm, seemingly unsurprised by Qin Shi's dream.
When Qin Shi mentioned his trust and reliance on Ye Nianzhen in his dream, Luo Xing couldn't help but interject, "Hmph, you may rely on her in your dream, but that doesn't necessarily mean you'll rely on her in reality!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Shi raised an eyebrow, about to retort, but was interrupted by Ye Nianzhen.
She said softly, "Alright, let's not dwell on this anymore. Qin Shi, how long do you plan to stay in China this time?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Shi composed himself and replied seriously, "I plan to stay for a while and finish dealing with things back home."
Ye Nianzhen nodded, then turned to look at Luo Xing and said, "Luo Xing, aren't you looking for a job recently? Perhaps Qin Shi can help you; he has some connections and resources abroad."
Upon hearing this, Luo Xing's heart stirred. He was indeed worried about finding a job, and it would be great if Qin Shi could really help him.
So he forced a smile and said to Qin Shi, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Qin Shi. If there's any suitable opportunity, I hope you'll take care of me."
Qin Shi looked at Luo Xing's forced smile and couldn't help but find it amusing, but he didn't take it to heart, after all, the two had clashed before.
He nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on it."
The three chatted in the coffee shop for a while longer before leaving.
Ye Nianzhen waited until Luo Xing's figure disappeared around the corner before turning to Qin Shi and saying:
"Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Qin Shi was stunned when he heard this. He had thought Ye Nianzhen was really prescient and knew everything just because of her calm reaction.
Ye Nianzhen sighed helplessly: "In that situation just now, if I hadn't said what I did, how could you two have sat down and had a proper talk?"
Qin Shi understood and nodded obediently, asking, "Then which part do you want to start listening to?"
Ye Nianzhen really wanted to ask me? Then she thought that it was indeed Qin Qiu's personality, almost identical to the one in the apocalypse.
How does someone with such a straightforward personality survive in modern society?
She could only put it bluntly: "Let's start with why you suddenly came to find me! After all, we shouldn't know each other, right?"
Qin Shi was still a little puzzled: "Then how did you know I came back from abroad?"
When Ye Nianzhen said this to that Luo Xing, Qin Shi thought that Ye Nianzhen had also had some kind of dream, such as a precognitive dream, so she was confident.
Ye Nianzhen smiled and said, "Your watch hasn't been set to the time zone yet, has it? And your clothes are also a foreign brand. Do I need to give you examples?"
Qin Shi suddenly realized what was going on. He awkwardly covered his wrist, because he had been paying attention to whether there was any news about Ye Nianzhen, and he usually used his phone to check the time. The watch was more of a decoration, so he hadn't noticed it at all.
That was really embarrassing.
He coughed lightly, then stopped asking questions and began to honestly recount his experiences over the past few days.
Coincidentally, he had only come to this city to meet a friend who had a wide network of information, and he wanted his friend to help him find out if there was any news about Ye Nianzhen.
Unexpectedly, he actually ran into Ye Nianzhen here, which surprised and delighted him. For a moment, he forgot his limits and grabbed Ye Nianzhen's wrist.
Looking back now, he really regretted it. After all, they were just acquaintances in a dream, and Ye Nianzhen didn't know him at all in reality. What he did would undoubtedly scare her.
Fortunately, Ye Nianzhen was a magnanimous person and did not hold it against him. Instead, she introduced Luo Xing to him.
Qin Shi's first impression of Luo Xing was not good; he felt that Luo Xing was impulsive and full of hostility towards him.
But Qin Shi wasn't a petty person; he wouldn't hold a grudge over such a small matter.
After all, they might have a lot of interaction in the future, especially if Luo Xing could really become his friend, then his life in China would undoubtedly be much more convenient.
Thinking about this, Qin Shi couldn't help but feel a little emotional. He never expected that he would develop such a great interest in a complete stranger because of a dream.
He shook his head, banishing these random thoughts from his mind, and then focused intently on recounting his experiences over the past few days to Ye Nianzhen.
