Peerless Cupid System

Looking at Su Mingxi, whose face was streaked with tears and whose expression was full of sorrow, Ling Ziqian felt as if his heart had been struck by something.

He couldn't explain what it was.

Su Mingxi struggled again, violently trying to break free from Ling Ziqian's grip on her hand.

Ling Ziqian didn't want to let go. He had a premonition that if he did, he would lose something...

Su Mingxi cried silently, unable to break free from Ling Ziqian's grasp; all she could do was let her tears flow freely.

A middle-aged man with a large belly stood for a long time in front of the deserted coffee shop.

After a long while, he came to his senses and looked at Su Mingxi with despair.

"Get out of here." He said it softly, but his tone was firm.

Su Mingxi gave up struggling, her face streaked with tears, and looked up at Ling Ziqian, "Now, are you satisfied?"

Chapter 36: Two people alone, is it a date?

Su Mingxi asked him this question.

Ling Ziqian felt empty inside, and he couldn't quite understand what he was doing.

Without realizing it, his hand was no longer holding Su Mingxi's arm.

Finally released, Su Mingxi didn't leave. She lowered her head and stood with Ling Ziqian.

The two of them stood motionless on the bustling commercial street, like two strange people, while all sorts of passersby walked by.

The ornate flyers that had fallen to the ground were scattered all over the place by the wind.

There was an indescribable sense of loneliness and melancholy in the air, the opposite of the bustling atmosphere.

After a long pause, Su Mingxi spoke first, wiping her eyes, "I'm sorry, I'm going in."

Ling Ziqian nodded. "I'll wait for you."

Su Mingxi paused for a moment, then turned and entered the coffee shop without saying anything.

Ling Ziqian pushed his bicycle to the side of the coffee shop and parked it. He stood quietly to the side, watching the pedestrians on the street.

With the internet so prevalent these days, the coffee shop's bad reputation has spread.

Ling Ziqian stood at this bustling intersection for half an hour, and only a handful of people went into the coffee shop to make a purchase.

During this time, Yu Meiren called to urge Ling Ziqian to buy ice cream on behalf of Cupid Sauce.

I bought the ice cream a while ago, but when I hit the thug while riding my bike, I don't know where it went.

After giving Yu Meiren a perfunctory reply, Ling Ziqian hung up the phone.

Huan Yue's voice rang out, "What happened just now wasn't ambiguous at all, so..."

Ling Ziqian raised his hand and looked at his silver watch. He had been holding Su Mingxi's arm for so long, but the level of ambiguity hadn't increased at all.

It remains ambiguous in three aspects.

Ling Ziqian didn't pay attention to this matter.

After waiting for a while, Su Mingxi finally walked out of the coffee shop.

She put on her usual clothes and removed her heavy makeup, looking just like she did at school.

When she saw Ling Ziqian standing at the door, she smiled slightly, feeling a little embarrassed.

Ling Ziqian can now tell that Su Mingxi's smile is not a genuine smile.

He pushed his pink bicycle out from the side.

Su Mingxi didn't rush to ride her bike. She and Ling Ziqian, who was also pushing his bike, walked along the street.

When the two of them are alone together, they don't really have much to talk about.

Moreover, after what just happened, the relationship between the two did not become any closer; instead, it became awkward.

Huan Yue was sensible enough not to say anything or offer Ling Ziqian any unreliable advice.

My phone vibrated in my pocket. I took it out and saw that it was a call from Dou Xiaorong.

Ling Ziqian swiped his phone and called out "Xiao Rong." Su Mingxi, standing beside him, raised her index finger to her lips.

The meaning is simple: she doesn't want Ling Ziqian to tell Dou Xiaorong that they are together now.

Ling Ziqian said that he had delivered the cake, but he would not be going to school to tutor Shen Qiaoyan this morning.

Dou Xiaorong didn't care. After ending the call with Ling Ziqian, she looked at Shen Qiaoyan with a headache.

Shen Qiaoyan felt even more troubled. She scratched her short hair and wrote on the draft paper with a pen. As she wrote, she muttered, "x, y, z are so hard to remember, why not use a, b, c to represent them?"

Dou Xiaorong laughed, "In mathematics, some formulas are represented using a, b, and c!"

"Hmm..." Shen Qiaoyan changed the subject, "What, is Master not coming?"

“Yes, he has something to do.” Dou Xiaorong nodded.

Shen Qiaoyan's eyes darted around, and she started to have a mischievous idea. "Um, Sister Rong, we've been studying for so long, shouldn't we take a break and relax a bit..."

Dou Xiaorong nodded. No problem.

"I meant... let's go for a walk outside..."

"no!"

"Don't be so strict. Master will be here this afternoon, right? I'll work extra hard to catch up then. Sister Xiaorong, you didn't have a day off last week, so you had tutoring for both days?"

"Um……"

"People aren't machines, Sister Rong, you can't exhaust yourself for my sake. Besides, you've already studied today, so relax a bit and continue this afternoon..."

Shen Qiaoyan kept making various excuses.

Does Dou Xiaorong not know what Shen Qiaoyan is thinking?

Since Shen Qiaoyan has no interest in tutoring, continuing to tutor her won't be very effective.

With a stern face, she instructed Shen Qiaoyan, "I'm giving you the day off now, but you'd better work extra hard this afternoon!"

"Mmm!" Shen Qiaoyan nodded without hesitation. She stood up abruptly, giggling, and pulled Dou Xiaorong outside. "I'm so bored! Let's go for a walk!"

Dou Xiaorong couldn't refuse. Shen Qiaoyan, that violent girl, was incredibly strong and easily pulled her out of the school.

As Ling Ziqian walked down the street with Su Mingxi, he gradually became a little nervous.

After taking a deep breath, he awkwardly suggested to Su Mingxi, "Let's find a place to sit down."

Su Mingxi hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

The two walked forward, leaving the bustling commercial street and reaching the quiet riverbank.

After parking her bicycle, Su Mingxi sat on a bench by the river, watching Ling Ziqian's retreating figure as he went to buy drinks. Suddenly, she blushed a little.

Why did I nod in agreement?

Recalling what happened outside the coffee shop, Su Mingxi felt that she really needed to have a talk with Ling Ziqian.

When he was being harassed by thugs, it was Lingzi who rushed to his rescue.

Not only did I not say thank you, but I was actually...

Su Mingxi found it difficult to describe herself at that time.

Returning with two bottles of mineral water, Ling Ziqian sat down next to Su Mingxi.

He felt a little nervous and a little excited.

No guy can sit next to a pretty girl without feeling a little flutter in his heart.

Ling Ziqian took a sip of mineral water, then stared at the river, avoiding looking at Su Mingxi.

The two seemed to be having a cold war, neither of them saying a word.

Ling Ziqian is not used to interacting with girls he doesn't know well.

Su Mingxi felt the atmosphere was a bit ambiguous and awkward.

For a while, the two of them felt that they couldn't stay silent.

He gritted his teeth and looked at the other person.

"How could you..."

"Thanks……"

The two spoke at the same time and bumped into each other.

After a moment of surprise, the two burst out laughing.

The awkward atmosphere became normal.

"Well, you go first," Ling Ziqian said with a smile, scratching his head.

"Hmm, pfft..." Su Mingxi looked at Ling Ziqian, and she couldn't stop laughing.

"Still laughing?" Ling Ziqian looked at Su Mingxi awkwardly.

Su Mingxi covered her mouth with her hand, trying hard not to laugh. She saw that Ling Ziqian's face turned red.

These days, there are still boys who blush. Su Mingxi has been confessed to by quite a few boys.

Those boys were able to boldly express their feelings for each other without feeling embarrassed at all.

Facing the portly manager, Ling Ziqian dared to grab his hand, but now, just sitting together, he blushed like a girl.

The phrase "like a girl" is not meant to be derogatory.

Boys like this are likely to score high marks in girls' eyes.

After a while, Su Mingxi regained her composure and thanked Ling Ziqian, "Thank you for saving me!"

Ling Ziqian shook his head awkwardly, "Although I saved you, I made you lose your job."

"It's okay." Su Mingxi had already come to terms with it. "Although it's a part-time job, it's really embarrassing to work in a place like that."

"Why did you..." Ling Ziqian wanted to ask Su Mingxi why she was doing part-time work, but he regretted it as soon as he opened his mouth.

Ling Ziqian had already seen himself wearing a cat-eared maid outfit, so there was no harm in telling him some things.
