"Duan Ningqi, it's almost our turn, let's go." Xia Tuchuan pulled at Duan Ningqi's arm, but found that he couldn't move it. "What are you looking at? You're so... fascinated..."
Following Duan Ningqi's gaze, Xia Tuchuan glanced into the distance and his breathing stopped.
"What are you two doing? Go over there! Your turn will be up soon!" Zhou Heng urged. "What are you looking at...oh my god, why does that guy look a bit like Duan Ningqi?"
Xia Tuchuan hit him with a hammer: "Is this what you're focusing on? No wonder you don't have a girlfriend."
Zhou Heng rubbed his head blankly: "? You're attacking me personally!"
While the two were arguing, Duan Ningqi had already taken a step forward, walked up to Guan Shi, and called out anxiously, "Guan, Guan...Shi."
Guan Shi raised her eyes and smiled meaningfully: "So nervous? I won't kill you."
Duan Ningqi: ...
She's still so humorous~
"Are you coming to eat too? What are you eating? Are you alone? I, I can accompany you."
Facing Guan Shi, Duan Ningqi's breathing became cautious, and his tone was filled with anticipation.
His eyes seemed to be glued to her, not even glancing at the person next to him.
Duan Shijing, who was ignored from beginning to end: ...
Guan Shi is a person, so what kind of person is he?
Guan Shi looked at her number and found that it was not her turn yet.
"Well, I'm alone."
"Eat hotpot?" Duan Ningqi glanced at the paper in Guan Shi's hand. It said the Xidi Lao Hotpot restaurant he was about to eat at. "My number has arrived. You can come with us."
Xia Tuchuan and Zhou Heng:?!
We're still here!
"There are three of us, plus you, so there are exactly four of us, so we can make a table."
The small tables at Xidi Lao Hotpot Restaurant are for 1-4 people, and it was just right for the three of them plus Shi.
As for the eldest brother standing aside, he was naturally not included.
Guan Shi glanced at Duan Ningqi's roommate and shook her head: "Forget it, your roommate and I don't even know each other."
Duan Ningqi: "They have nothing to do with each other."
Xia Tuchuan nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, we are fine."
For the happiness of your roommate!
Zhou Heng scratched his head: "That's not right, aren't they two people?"
Duan Ningqi: ...
Xia Tuchuan rolled his eyes: "Ahem - what a tactless guy! No wonder he doesn't have a girlfriend!"
Zhou Heng: "? Why are you making personal attacks again?"
Duan Shijing, who had been ignored for a long time, couldn't stand it anymore and intervened appropriately: "Ning Qi, don't you have anything else to say?"
Duan Ningqi finally looked at his cheap elder brother and said perfunctorily: "What can I say to you?"
It’s better to talk to poetry than to talk to you, huh!
Duan Shijing: "Nothing to say? Then you should at least explain why you followed Miss Guan."
!!!
He thought his actions were flawless and no one noticed, but he was exposed by his elder brother on the spot. Duan Ningqi's face instantly flushed with shame.
He hurriedly explained to Guan Shi: "No, I didn't mean to follow you.
My roommates were nearby, and I didn't want them to know, so I just followed you and didn't dare to come forward."
Seeing the young man's frightened expression, Guan Shi was about to speak when Duan Shijing spoke first, "Do you know that following someone will make them panic?"
Guan Shi: Others may not know, but I don’t. I have the hidden blade given by M.
"I'm sorry...Shi..."
Duan Ningqi bowed his head and admitted his mistake, but Duan Shijing frowned: "How do you address someone older than you?"
“…Sister Shi.”
"Well, don't do this kind of thing next time." Duan Shijing withdrew his gaze with satisfaction.
Duan Ningqi gritted his teeth: Damn it! Big Brother deliberately didn't let me chant poetry! Why didn't I see how insidious Big Brother was before!
"Wait." Xia Tuchuan suddenly realized something, his eyes widening, "Duan Ningqi, you're taking us around in circles, are you following the sister you like?"
Guan Shi: Hmm? My favorite sister? What's that name?
Zhou Heng suddenly understood: "Oh my god, I thought so! I was wondering why you suddenly had the leisure to go shopping for clothes, it turns out you have other intentions!
You little bastard, we tried our best to help you, and you still dared to hide it from us!"
I see you're trying so hard to drag me down! You're afraid I'll get into trouble!
Duan Ningqi quickly dismissed his two roommates: "Hasn't your number been called? Why don't you go over there? Be careful or you'll miss your turn and have to wait for three more tables!"
Zhou Heng: "You're not coming with me?"
"Stupid!" Xia Tuchuan grabbed his clothes, "The sister you like is here, what are you still doing with us?"
Zhou Heng: "Tsk tsk, a guy who forgets his friends when he sees a beautiful woman."
Duan Ningqi: ...
After they entered the hot pot restaurant, Duan Ningqi finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Guan Shi again: "Shi, Sister Shi, why are you with my brother?"
He glanced at his eldest brother with a hint of hostility.
It was the same last time and this time too. He was obviously the first to discover the poem, but every time his elder brother got there first!
Is it true that he and poetry are not meant to be together?
Duan Ningqi is sad, but he will not give up!
He is younger than his elder brother and has plenty of time and opportunities!
Guan Shi said, "We met on the road, but are you sure you don't want to eat with your roommate?"
"No, they eat too rudely."
Xia Tuchuan and Zhou Heng: A-choo——
"Why do I feel like Duan Ningqi is teasing us behind our backs?" Xia Tuchuan wiped his nose.
"Forget about that guy who forgets his friends for the sake of beauty. There's still plenty of room for the two of us." Zhou Heng snorted and sat down. "But who is the other man?"
Xia Tuchuan: "It seems to be Duan Ningqi's elder brother."
"Big brother?!" Zhou Heng was shocked. "Why is the sister that Duan Ningqi likes with his big brother?"
After Zhou Heng reminded him, Xia Tuchuan finally realized it and his jaw dropped to the ground in shock: "Tell me, could it be that Duan Ningqi has taken a fancy to his sister-in-law?"
Zhou Heng gasped: "So ridiculous?!"
Outside the store, Duan Ningqi didn't know that he had been turned into the male protagonist in a novel about a brother-in-law secretly in love with his sister-in-law by his two roommates. His eyes and heart were full of the girl in front of him.
It was almost Guan Shi's turn, and she asked again: "If you don't eat hot pot with your roommates, what will you eat?"
"I..." Duan Ningqi was about to speak when he suddenly realized that Shi had not invited him!!!
In an instant, embarrassment crept onto his face.
So embarrassing!
If I go back now, Xia Tuchuan and Zhou Heng will definitely laugh at me!
Besides, he didn't want to go back. How could he leave his elder brother and Shi alone!
Seeing the young man's hesitant expression, Guan Shi laughed and said, "Your eldest brother is alone too, why don't you go with him?"
Duan Ningqi looked at Duan Shijing, Duan Shijing looked at Duan Ningqi, and the air suddenly became quiet.
Guan Shi blinked: "What's wrong?"
"Sister Shi, look, you are alone, I am alone, and my elder brother... is also alone. We can be together." When talking about his elder brother, Duan Ningqi gritted his teeth.
Duan Shijing didn't care and nodded: "Yes, together."
Guan Shi thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay."
Duan Ningqi & Duan Shijing: That’s great!
For hot pot for one or two people, you can sit anywhere. For hot pot for four people, you can sit opposite each other. For hot pot for three people, you have to sit in the middle, which is awkward.
Who sits next to the poem and who sits opposite the poem?
