Chapter 1525: You Are My Little Love Song (92)
Qin Siting picked up the phone in the room and asked for the hotel menu from the front desk. After someone sent the menu over, Shi Niange sat on the sofa, looking like she was seriously choosing food. From time to time, she would secretly raise her eyes to look at the man who had one hand in his pocket and was standing by the window.
He stood there. The sunlight passed through the window and stood against the light. She could only see his silhouette clearly.
After casually selecting a few dishes on the menu, she said, “I’ve already chosen. Let’s have ramen and golden egg rolls. What do you want to eat? This hotel has quite a lot of food.”
“Anything.”
“Then I’ll help you choose ramen and golden egg rolls? Can it be the same as mine?”
“Sure.”
After Shi Niange finished ordering, she stood up and walked out. Sure enough, she saw that the room service staff was waiting outside the door. She walked out and informed them. When she turned back to the room, she saw that he was still standing there.
Shi Niange looked in his direction and felt that he did not wish to speak. Furthermore, she had promised that she would remain quiet and not disturb him.
He needed a quiet space.
She did not say anything and silently sat back on the sofa. She took out the book she had brought to school today from her bag and placed it on her lap. She sat on the sofa and started reading it.
The room was very quiet. In the beginning, she kept thinking about the person by the window. However, after reading for a while, she gradually became attracted to the book’s contents because she was interested in medicine. This time, she no longer felt that time was slow.
As the food in this hotel was made on the spot and not automatically heated, it took longer. After working for half an hour, someone sent it over. When Shi Niange heard a knock on the door, she got up to open it. The room service staff had already pushed a small dining car.
After thanking them, she pushed the food cart into the room. She then placed the two portions of food on the desk in the room and arranged the chairs by the side. She then called out to him, “Let’s eat first.”
Two seconds later, Qin Siting looked back and saw that she had already sat down. His gaze landed on her slightly awkward shoulders as she held the chopsticks. He turned and walked over, sitting down on the chair by her side. At the same time, he suddenly took the disposable chopsticks in her hand, broke them apart, and handed them to her.
Shi Niange took it silently and looked up at him.
He glanced at her and said, “Eat.”
“You should eat too. It’s so early in the morning… cough… you ran out to race…, so you definitely didn’t eat.” Shi Niange paid attention to his expression as she spoke. Seeing that he didn’t seem to mind, she picked up a golden silk roll and placed it in her mouth.
“Oh, it’s quite delicious. It tastes better than the food made by the kitchen of many high-class hotels.” Shi Niange ate as she said, “Let me tell you. My parents have been out frequently for so many years. When I was young, I often followed them around. As they would go everywhere, they didn’t buy a house, so I usually stayed in a hotel. At that time, I ate the food in their shop every day. It was so bad that you couldn’t imagine it. I ate it all since my parents were so busy. Furthermore, it wasn’t easy to order takeaway when I was young, so I could only eat in the hotel.”
Qin Siting still ate without speaking. Shi Niange did not wait for him to speak. She only looked at him as she said, “When you were young? Did you live in the Qin family home or somewhere else?”
After speaking, she lowered her head to look at the beef in her bowl. As she had yet to eat her noodles, there shouldn’t be any saliva on them. She didn’t know if Qin Siting was a clean freak, but she felt that he wouldn’t mind if she gave him the meat. Thus, she picked up the two pieces of meat with another clean disposable chopstick and placed it in his bowl. “I don’t like the meat in the noodles. Help me eat it.”
Qin Siting glanced at her and suddenly put down his chopsticks.
Shi Niange’s expression faltered. Could it be that he despised the meat she had picked up?
“The chopsticks I used to pick up the meat earlier were the ones by the side. I have not used them….”
Before she could finish explaining, Qin Siting said in a low voice, “When you saw the police arrive, your first reaction was to protect me. Even if there’s meat in my bowl, you have to share yours with me. Shi Niange, do you not treat yourself as a woman, or do you not treat me as a man?”
Shi Niange looked at him in a daze and subconsciously said, “I don’t know either. I just… want to treat you well…”
Qin Si’s handsome brows raised slightly. “Treat me well? How am I worthy of you treating me well?”
“You’re worth it in every way.” She bit her lip and suddenly found the courage to look him in the eye. “You know that I like you.”
I like you. A twenty-year-old young man and a young woman. What a pure sentence. She thought she would never be more pure in her life than when she said these words.
Qin Siting looked at her. Shi Nian also looked at him. Her gaze was initially calm, but after being stared at by him for a long time, she finally felt slightly embarrassed. However, since she had already said it, there was nothing to hide. She blinked. “You’ve always known, haven’t you? Qin Siting, I like you.”
Perhaps because she had been frightened for too long, this sudden confession made him unable to react. Otherwise, why would he only look at her and not speak?
“Let’s eat first.” She suddenly turned back, picked up her chopsticks, and lowered her head to eat her ramen.
Qin Siting watched her for a while before looking away. When he picked up his chopsticks, he glanced at the two pieces of meat in his bowl. He seemed to have thought of something and said, “I really should move to another place. Shida Group should have some connections with the real estate company. Do you know which houses are more suitable near the Medical University?”
Seeing that he was asking her directly, Shi Niange stopped eating and began to think seriously. However, after thinking for a long time, she did not have an answer. “I really don’t know. I only know that the villa opposite my Lishui Villa is empty.”
After speaking, she suddenly realized what she had just said. She turned her eyes to meet his gaze again and chuckled at him to dissolve the feeling.
He wouldn’t go to Lishui Villa. He would just treat her as a joke.
After lunch, it was almost noon. Qin Siting did not chase her away. Shi Niange continued to sit quietly on the sofa and read.
The two of them sat on the sofa in tacit understanding. At times, they would stand and look out of the window. At other times, they would sit in front of the business table and continue looking out of the window. However, none of them said that they wanted to sit on the bed or lie down to sleep for a while.
