To avoid awkwardness, Liou Qingcheng took the initiative to change the topic: "You guys really know how to choose a place, coming to Yihong Courtyard for a meal!"
"Those who know are here for a meal, those who don't might think you came to have fun!"
"I thought this restaurant looked nice, so I picked it!" Lin Tian smiled awkwardly.
Yihong Courtyard might not matter to men, but when women enter such places, it always leads to misunderstandings.
"What would you like to eat?" Lin Tian picked up the menu on the table and asked Liou Qingcheng.
Wu Yong watched from the side, thinking how the saying "all for love and none for friendship" is spot on.
Ever since Liou Qingcheng joined, Lin Tian hadn't said a word to him.
Everything was said to Liou Qingcheng.
Making Wu Yong feel like the third wheel here.
A glaringly bright third wheel, at that.
"You order, I'm good with anything!" Liou Qingcheng stood up and said, "I'm going to the restroom first!"
"Alright!" Lin Tian nodded.
With Liou Qingcheng gone, Lin Tian looked at the menu and was completely at a loss, not knowing what to order.
Everything looked tempting to order but he wasn't sure if it was any good.
Suddenly Lin Tian felt the call of nature too, so he tossed the menu to Wu Yong: "You order first, I need to use the restroom too!"
"Order what?" Wu Yong was instantly baffled.
Usually, two bowls of Lanzhou noodles would fill him up, so he had no clue how to order!
"Order the expensive ones!" Lin Tian got up and headed to the restroom, saying without looking back!
Such arrogance!
Such confidence!
Lin Tian turned left and right, finally finding the restroom sign. But just as he was about to turn right in the corridor, he suddenly heard a woman's impatient voice.
"Stop pestering me, or I'll call the police!"
A man's smug voice sounded: "I have money, I can take care of you, whatever you want I can buy for you! Luxury cars, villas, designer bags, just name it and I'll buy it for you!"
"First of all! I have a boyfriend!"
"Secondly! I'm not interested in your filthy money!"
"Lastly! Please stop bothering me!"
"Hey...this woman's voice sounds familiar?" Lin Tian realized the woman's voice was very familiar, so he tiptoed to the wall, ready to take a look at what was happening.
"Alright, if you have a boyfriend, call him here!"
"I just want to see with my own eyes, besides me, who else is worthy of a beauty like you!" The man's extremely confident voice echoed in the corridor.
"Screech!"
Sound of shoe soles rubbing against the floor tiles rang out, only to see Lin Tian spread his legs wide with a grimace, holding onto the wall in pain.
"Damn, that hurts like hell!"
Lin Tian's thigh muscles felt like they were about to snap, as he gritted his teeth and closed his legs.
Originally leaning against the wall, wanting to peek out, he didn't realize some brat in split pants had peed in the corner.
And as luck would have it, Lin Tian's foot slipped, almost making him fall flat on his face.
Although he finally steadied himself without falling, a big split nearly crippled him.
"It's Liou Qingcheng!"
After seeing the woman not far away, Lin Tian finally understood why he found the woman's voice familiar.
Liou Qingcheng was facing him, and the man in the suit had his back to him, so Lin Tian couldn't see his face.
But based on the two's standing positions and the earlier conversation.
It probably went like this: Liou Qingcheng came out of the bathroom, the man was enthralled by her beauty, then started hitting on her, hoping she'd become his girlfriend.
Liou Qingcheng repeatedly refused, even threatening to call the police.
The course of events immediately became clear in Lin Tian's mind.
"Honey, there you are!" Liou Qingcheng's voice suddenly made a 180-degree turn, so sweet it could melt bones.
"Honey...?"
"What's going on here?"
Lin Tian was dumbfounded, with sweat the size of beans running down his temples.
"Come over here, quick!" Liou Qingcheng quickly walked toward Lin Tian, her eyebrows raised repeatedly, winking at him.
"What's happening?"
Lin Tian naturally noticed Liou Qingcheng's expression.
But he was a bit confused by her actions.
"Beauty, is he your boyfriend?" The man standing at a distance turned to look at Lin Tian.
The two big guys exchanged a look.
It would've been fine not to look, but the moment they did, trouble started.
"It's you!"
"It's you!"
Lin Tian's expression instantly changed, surprised that the man harassing Liou Qingcheng was Liu Chan.
"Beauty, is he your boyfriend?" Liu Chan was initially a bit surprised after seeing Lin Tian, but his surprise soon turned to disdain.
Liu Chan always looked down on Lin Tian.
After all, Liu Chan was a privileged golden boy, some even called him a rich second-generation.
And Lin Tian?
A poor kid from a humble background.
A nobody!
How could Liu Chan possibly pay attention to someone like him?
Moreover, after taking Lin Tian's girlfriend Li Li, Liu Chan looked down on him even more.
"How did you end up with such a loser?" Liu Chan slipped his hands into his pockets, chin raised high, eyes looking down his nose.
"What's wrong with that?" Liou Qingcheng got even closer to Lin Tian.
Meanwhile, she whispered in his ear, "This guy started hitting on me out of nowhere, he's so annoying!"
"How can a guy like him be worthy of you?" Liu Chan took out a golden tin box from his pocket.
Took a cigarette from it and stuck it in his mouth: "What on earth do you see in this loser?"
Hearing Liu Chan insult Lin Tian like this, Liou Qingcheng retorted: "Who I choose has nothing to do with you!"
"I can be with whoever I like, I'm not related to you, so why do you get to control me?"
Faced with such a response from Liou Qingcheng, Liu Chan felt his ego was deeply wounded.
He had gone to the restroom, only to be captivated by Liou Qingcheng's beauty. With his confidence, Liu Chan thought this would be an easy pick-up.
Unexpectedly, the attempt was far from successful.
The beauty in front of him preferred Lin Tian, that loser, over giving him a second glance.
No matter what, Liu Chan couldn't accept this result.
"Lin Tian, it'd be wise of you to stay away from her, or don't blame me for being rude!"
Liu Chan, seeing he couldn't persuade Liou Qingcheng, turned to threaten Lin Tian instead.
"Oh~ you go from looking down on me to threatening me now?"
A mischievous smile appeared on Lin Tian's lips: "You really think I'm a pushover for you to mess with?"
"And by the way, Liu Chan, Mr. Liu, if I remember correctly, that bitch Li Li seems to be your girlfriend!"
"What?"
"It's only been a few days, and you're already forgetting your old love for a pretty face?"
In front of Liou Qingcheng, being called out by Lin Tian about having a girlfriend infuriated Liu Chan: "My personal affairs are none of your business!"
"Oh~ so you do have a girlfriend?" Liou Qingcheng mocked.
In the next second, Liou Qingcheng said disgustedly: "I really despise guys like you who clearly have a family but still fool around outside!"
"As if all the beauties under the sky belong to you, maybe you should take a piss and look in the mirror at what kind of a loser you are!"
