Xie An kept giving Ji Xia meaningful glances, and Ji Xia, feeling helpless, introduced her roommates to her.
After the group introduced themselves, Ji Xia led Xie An out of the private room: "Young Master Xie, what are you doing here?"
"I came with Ah Xun and the others."
Xie An pointed to the opposite room, where several boys and girls were indeed eating and laughing together.
Judging from the voices, Ji Xia recognized Xie Xun and Jiang Yizhi, but the other voices were not very familiar.
Ji Xia looked at Xie An suspiciously. They were eating here, and then they came up to greet her? It felt a bit like a dream.
Ji Xia looked at Xie An with suspicion for a long time, but when she saw that Xie An's ear tips were a little red and his expression was a little awkward, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
"Young Master Xie? Fourth Young Master, what's wrong? Did you not bring enough money?"
"Tch, what are you talking about? Even if I, your brother Xie, didn't have any money on me, would I need to borrow from you?"
That makes sense. With so many of his friends there, even if he didn't have the money, he had no reason to come after her.
"Why did Young Master Xie specifically call me out?"
"Um, I need your help with something."
Xie An's face flushed slightly, but fortunately the dim light concealed his embarrassment. After fidgeting for a while, he asked, "Does your roommate have a boyfriend?"
"Roommate? I have three roommates, which one are you talking about?"
Ji Xia looked back at her roommates suspiciously, while Xie An whispered, "It's that girl with the cheerful laugh and short hair, Jiang Qingci."
"You want to pursue her?"
Ji Xia suddenly realized, glanced at Jiang Qingci who looked bewildered in the private room, and then turned back to Xie An, whose shy and bashful expression resembled that of an innocent young boy, which made her feel a little shocked.
Take a closer look. Jiang Qingci has pretty short hair, sweet and delicate features, an elegant temperament, a pure smile, and a cheerful personality. Moreover, she is talented and gifted, and is very popular at school.
Looking at Xie An again, he was handsome and dashing, 1.8 meters tall, with broad shoulders and long legs, and a straight back like a little poplar tree. He usually looked like a domineering CEO, but at this moment he looked like an innocent big boy.
These two seem to be quite a good match.
However, in both her lives, Zhi Liao had never been a matchmaker. After all, everyone in later generations knew that a good matchmaker brought happiness to their families.
If a matchmaker does a bad job, a young couple may become a bitter, unhappy pair, and everyone will blame the matchmaker. It's especially taboo for friends or acquaintances to act as matchmakers.
However, Ji Xia thought that there weren't many exceptional people in this era, and Xie An and Jiang Qingci weren't those kinds of people, so perhaps she could help ask around.
"She probably doesn't have a boyfriend yet. However, we talked about this topic once, and she seemed to say that she didn't plan to date during her studies because she didn't want to marry someone from another place. I heard that her parents only have one daughter and don't want her to marry someone from far away."
Upon hearing this, Xie An's face showed disappointment mixed with reluctance: "Could you do me a favor? Could you ask around for me?"
She bit her lower lip and hesitated for a moment: "I'll give it a try. I'll find out about her hobbies another day and create some opportunities for you."
"However, Brother Xie, if she is determined not to be in a relationship, I hope you won't pester her relentlessly."
Xie An's face darkened, and he glanced at her with displeasure: "Of course not, I, Xie An, am not so bad that I can't even find a partner and need to force someone else."
"It's good that you think this way. If you can get along, then get along; if not, then break up. Don't force it."
As they were talking, Lin Chen returned after paying the bill and saw Xie An and Ji Xia whispering to each other outside the private room. He couldn't help but wonder why Fourth Young Master Xie was here.
Judging from their expressions, the two seem to have a very good relationship.
Chen Jing is really lucky. Not only can his partner help him develop his career, but even the friends he makes are helpful to his career.
He hesitated for a few steps, then carefully retreated. Only after the two had finished their conversation did he deliberately stride over.
"Fourth Young Master, what a coincidence, you're eating here too?"
When Xie An turned around and saw Lin Chen, the smile on his face became somewhat distant, unlike the sincere smile he had given Ji Xia just now.
"Oh, it's Comrade Lin. You're eating here too?"
Lin Chen pointed to the private room: "Yes, I'm having dinner with my cousin and her roommate."
"Oh, your cousin? Which one?"
He glanced into the private room, and Ji Xia whispered a reminder: "Jiang Qingci is his cousin, and they are from Jiangnan."
"Jiang Qingci?"
Xie An was taken aback for a moment, then immediately suppressed his disdain.
Seeing Lin Chen's ingratiating smile, she suddenly had an idea: if Ji Xia couldn't succeed, this man could probably help.
Ji Xia entered the private room: "Qing Ci, let's go for a walk together later. It's rare for us to go out together, so let's go back together!"
Rong Ruoshi and Liu Yujuan had just decided to go shopping together, but Jiang Qingci was still hesitating.
Jiang Qingci thought for a moment, then turned to look at Liu Yujuan: "You're going back to school tonight, right?"
"Let's go back together."
Ji Xia said, "Actually, if it's too late, you can stay at my house for the night. I have plenty of beds, so don't worry."
Although most of the rooms in the courtyard house have been cleared of furniture and turned into workshops, a few rooms and two guest rooms have been left to store furniture.
Jiang Qingci was relieved upon hearing this, and pulled Liu Yujuan's arm with a grin: "That's great! I've heard that Ji Xia has a big house here, let's go see it."
When the group was about to pay, Ji Xia asked the waiter, who pointed to Lin Chen and said, "Room 14? That gentleman has already paid."
Upon hearing this, Ji Xia smiled politely: "Comrade Lin, we agreed that Yu Juan would treat us, so why did you insist on paying?"
"I don't have the habit of letting women pay, so Liu, you can treat me next time," Lin Chen said magnanimously, waving his hand.
Ji Xia shook her head: "It's obvious that Mr. Lin is single."
"What did you say? What do you mean by 'single dog'? What kind of talk is that?"
Before Lin Chen could speak, Rong Ruoshi tugged at her, reminding her not to talk nonsense and to stop being so unrestrained.
Ji Xia chuckled helplessly and apologized to Lin Chen with a smile: "A single dog means someone who is single and doesn't have a partner. I didn't mean to insult you."
“A truly good man, once married or engaged, puts the woman in control of the finances, so the woman will definitely pay for everything.”
Lin Chen touched his nose sheepishly: "I was so ignorant. I didn't know that being single only makes you a dog, not even a human."
"I haven't even treated you to dog food yet," Ji Xia thought to herself with a smirk, as the three girls burst into laughter.
Hearing that the group had gone to the night market together, Lin Chen insisted on accompanying them. Xie An looked around and realized that the two boys were a bit short, so he went into the private room and pulled Xie Xun and Jiang Yizhi out as well.
Upon seeing Ji Xia and the others, Xie Xun and Jiang Yizhi exchanged worried glances.
"Ji Xia is here too? Fourth Brother, why did you drag us out here? Chen Jing isn't here, so please don't make any mistakes!"
Jiang Yizhi nodded: "That's right, Fourth Brother, you can't mess with a friend's wife. Chen Jing is our friend, so don't do anything reckless."
Xie An couldn't help but feel annoyed: "Shut up, it's not what you think."
