Chapter 20
Guan Shuqing felt a little disappointed and wasn’t willing to just give up .
“You did help me out greatly after all . I definitely owe you a treat . ”
Guan Shuqing held onto her phone and sent the message .
This man is really different from others . Or maybe he’s gay?
That’s the only explanation Guan Shuqing could come up with .
“Huh?” Wang Xian was boiling water and cleaning off the ashes of the firewood from before when he heard his phone ring . He saw Guan Shuqing’s reply before looking over at the swimming crabs and large lobsters in the pot . “Since I can’t finish all these by myself, why don’t I just ask if she would like to come over?”
Wang Xian wasn’t thinking too deeply into this matter and sent the message, “I’m cooking outdoors on the Eastern Hill . If you haven’t eaten, why don’t you just come over to the Eastern Hill?”
After sending the message out, Wang Xian started cleaning the area once again . He washed the bowls and chopsticks and started a fire .
When Guan Shuqing received this message while she was in the dormitory room, she frowned slightly .
“Cooking outdoors . Should I go? It’s getting a little dark . Will he…”
“He probably wouldn’t as he isn’t such a guy . Moreover, although it is summer holiday, there’s still security patrolling the area . ”
Guan Shuqing made up her mind to go . She stood up and put on some light makeup before heading towards the Eastern Hill .
When she arrived at the Eastern Hill, she saw a figure standing by the flames .
“Just him alone . ”
Guan Shuqing looked over as she walked . “Wang Xian . ”
“Huh, if it isn’t our great beauty, Guan Shuqing?” Wang Xian lifted his head, looked over and saw Guan Shuqing switching on the flashlight of her mobile phone .
“I take that you’re in a good mood, cooking outdoors so late . ” Guan Shuqing walked over and saw Wang Xian preparing the sauce . She was shocked and asked, “Wang Xian, what delicious dishes are you making?”
“Seafood . I caught them from the sea today . ”
Wang Xian lifted his head and looked at her .
Guan Shuqing was still as beautiful as always today . Guan Shuqing was a well-known goddess of the University of Rivertown, and it was pretty good to be able to have a meal with such a beautiful lady .
Of course, on the condition that they get along .
“Wow, seafood . It seems like I’ll be in for a treat today . ” Guan Shuqing squatted down . She looked at the covered pot first before turning her attention to Wang Xian .
Under the illumination of the flame, he had a very unique aura . Appearance-wise, Wang Xian was definitely a handsome guy .
Guan Shuqing found a rock and sat down on it . “It should be me who is supposed to give you a treat and yet you are the one who invited me to have seafood . Why don’t I give you a treat tomorrow night? What do you think about that?”
“Sure!” Wang Xian looked at her and continued, “It will be my honor to be given a treat from the goddess of Rivertown!”
“Why don’t I feel that way? You still said that it wasn’t necessary just a while ago . ” Guan Shuqing gave him an angry stare .
“Hehe,” Wang Xian laughed . “That’s because I feel that I didn’t really help you out . It was just a little thing after all . ”
“What you did isn’t just a little thing,” replied Guan Shuqing as she shook her head .
“Alright, the food is cooked . Let’s get started quickly . I’ll get the sauce ready for you . ” Wang Xian opened the lid to the pot and passed over a bowl of sauce that he had prepared previously to Guan Shuqing .
“Wow, lobsters and crabs . ” Guan Shuqing was shocked when she saw two large lobsters and swimming crabs, each seemingly weighing two to three jin, in the pot .
“Hehe . ” Wang Xian smiled . “Yeah, they were all caught from the sea . ”
As Wang Xian spoke, he scooped out a large lobster from the pot . After which, he deshelled the head, grabbed the tail and passed it to Guan Shuqing . “Take it . We can each have one large lobster . If you hadn’t come, I might not have been able to finish them all by myself . ”
“Thank you, thank you . ” Guan Shuqing took it joyously .
“Be careful, it’s hot . ”
“Yeah . ”
Guan Shuqing took over a large lobster that was even bigger than her palm and gently removed the shell .
“It smells so good!” exclaimed Guan Shuqing happily .
“The taste is pretty good . ” Wang Xian dipped it into the sauces he’d prepared . It was extremely satisfying to have wild large lobsters together with the tasty sauces .
“I didn’t expect I’d be so lucky to be in for such a sumptuous dinner . ” Guan Shuqing looked at Wang Xian and spoke with a face of smiles .
“Hmm . I’ve brought two bottles of alcohol with me . Do you want some?” Wang Xian asked, taking out the beer Wang Dahai had placed in the dormitory .
“Lobsters with beer! Give me a bottle, then . However, I won’t be able to finish it . ” Guan Shuqing extended her hand and replied with a smile .
“It’s alright . Pass it to me if you can’t finish it . ” Wang Xian helped her open the bottle before passing it to her .
“Wow . This is simply too satisfying . ” Guan Shuqing sipped a mouthful before enjoying her lobster flesh .
“Have some swimming crabs too . I caught them from the sea and they are really fresh . ” Wang Xian scooped out a swimming crab and deshelled it like a gentleman before passing it over to her .
“Wang Xian, you’re so sweet . And the sauces you prepared are really delicious . This is fantastic . I’m sure you have a girlfriend, right?” Guan Shuqing looked at him and asked in a probing manner .
Wang Xian’s body stiffened up . He recalled the girl that chose to go with the other guy . Although she wasn’t very pretty, her quiet and cute look was what he was really fond of .
Sigh! He heaved a long sigh . A materialistic girl like that wasn’t worthy for him to think about any further, nor was she worthy of his love .
“What’s the matter?” Guan Shuqing saw his sudden change and asked curiously .
“I’m fine . I don’t have a girlfriend . Or rather, in my case, it ended before it even started . ” Wang Xian laughed in a self-deprecating manner before drinking a mouthful of beer .
Guan Shuqing was slightly stunned . “You are such a great guy . I’m sure you would be able to find a really beautiful girlfriend . ”
“Perhaps . ” Wang Xian smiled and nodded his head . “However, I’m focusing on improving myself and earning a lot more money for now . My sister will be attending this school soon . I’ve got to let her live her university life like a princess . ”
Guan Shuqing saw his determined look and couldn’t help but feel a little envious . “I’m really envious of your sister to have such a good brother . Your relationship with your sister must be really good!”
“We only have each other after all . My sister is really adorable and sensible,” laughed Wang Xian .
“Only have each other?” When Guan Shuqing heard these words, she recalled what she’d heard from what her good friend had gathered .
Could it be that he truly only has a sister? His parents aren’t around anymore?
Guan Shuqing thought of her own parents suddenly . Although her father’s company encountered a huge crisis this year and declared bankrupt, she still had her parents with her after all .
“Everything will be fine . A guy like you will definitely be very blessed in the future,” Guan Shuqing looked at Wang Xian and remarked . “There aren’t any sad things that wouldn’t pass . My father’s company was declared bankrupt this year and this had a huge impact on my way of living . However, I still feel that as long as I work hard, everything will become better . ”
Wang Xian looked at Guan Shuqing, who was at aside, with a little surprise . Who would have expected this girl to still be able to maintain such a way of thinking?
“What are you looking at? Cheers!” Guan Shuqing noticed Wang Xian was looking at her . She lifted her head slightly, lifted her bottle of beer and replied .
“It will be better, Guan Shuqing . ” Wang Xian lifted his beer, smiled and added, “If you have any difficulties in the future, feel free to come and look for me . I might be able to help you resolve them . ”
“Why aren’t you calling me the great beauty, Guan Shuqing? Haha!”
“Aren’t we friends!”
“Wah, are you treating me as friends right now? I felt like a stranger to you just moments ago . ”
