A Fight For Love Volume 1 Chapter 5

Chapter 5 Eat with Good Friends

Qian Lin took Lin Ziqi to a nearby fast food restaurant to have breakfast early in the morning. However, when she had eaten all the fried dumplings, porridge, and eggs, and was almost full, she looked up and found that Lin Ziqi was actually counting the fish bones there! It really made her laugh, and also angry.

"Ziqi, you’d better eat quickly. I'm going to cram school! A real boy would gobble up like your brother, instead of eating like you, who need to count all the fish bones and tear the meat one piece at a time to eat it. It’s too trying!"

Lin Ziqi continued to count the fish bones in his hands with an att.i.tude that he refused to hear her no matter what she said. Qian Lin rolled her eyes angrily. She began to eat her own food, leaving him to count the fish bones slowly. In any case, she would go to cram school after eating, and she would not stay here with him to count the fish bones. Lin Zifeng was a famous school hunk, so why did his brother act like this? It was childlike.

"s.h.i.+t, when will you finish? Hurry up. I do not have so much leisure time that I can wait while you count fish bones! Do you know how to eat fish? Is it interesting for you to pretend to be rich here?"

Lin Ziqi continued to ignore her. This morning, except for when he ordered what he wanted to eat—fish—he had said nothing, like a mute. He was so admirable! Qian Lin looked at the time on her mobile phone and suddenly stood up. She did not even look at Lin Ziqi, who was still counting fish bones there. She looked straight at the waitress over the counter, and shouted, "Waitress, help me check out and pack up!"

When a waitress brought the bag, Qian Ling picked up the small orders of steamed buns and deep-fried dough sticks that Lin Ziqi had not yet started eating and poured them into the bag. Then with Lin Ziqi staring at her actions, she poured the fish he had ravaged into another bag. Finally, after packing the porridge, Qian Lin clapped her hands and took out the lovely pink purse from her bag. Then she counted enough money for the bill from the purse and handed it to the waitress, who was waiting for her with the book. At that moment, the mobile phone rang. Qian Lin put the small purse beside the bag and went out to answer the phone.

"Hey, hey, how can you be so heartless? I haven't eaten yet!"

Lin Ziqi stared angrily at Qian Lin, who was about to return, and held up two fishy hands to show his displeasure with her.

Qian Lin glanced at Lin Ziqi, whose face was getting darker and darker, and then she reached out to grab the bags on the table and hand them to Lin Ziqi.

"Here you are. You can take it back to count and eat as slow as you want."

Lin Ziqi stared at Qian Lin for a minute, then he suddenly stood up and stepped out. She even asked him to take it back to eat. Is this a joke? As a young master of the Lin family, he always ate fish like this.

"Hey, nasty boy! Your food!"

Qian Lin saw Lin Ziqi walking straight out of the store, so she immediately reached for the change from the waitress. She carried the packaged meals in one hand and took her bag in the other hand. However, her lovely pink purse was totally ignored and dropped to the ground.

The waitress in the store smiled and glanced at Lin Ziqi and Qian Lin as they went out one after another. She picked up the wiping cloth and went to the table where they had just sat.

Not far away from the fast food restaurant, Qian Lin caught up with Lin Ziqi, who had taken the lead in a few steps.

"Stop it, nasty boy!"

Qian Lin carried a pile of things in both hands and walked two steps lightly to ward off Lin Ziqi. Looking at Lin Ziqi with an angry face, she didn’t know what was wrong with him. She had taken him out to eat out of kindness, but he was still losing his temper here. It was rather baffling.

"Qian Lin, listen to me carefully. First, I'm not a boy. I have a name. Second, I’m not nasty. I take a bath every day. Thirdly, don't call me nasty boy again in the future."

"You . . . !"

Listening to Lin Ziqi's words and looking at his angry face, Qian Lin burst out with a chuckle. This boy was absolutely crazy! Every sentence he said about the words nasty and boy were closely reasoned and well argued.

"Hey, Lin Ziqi, I found that you were very strange this morning. Why did you get so mad at me?"

Lin Ziqi was intentionally creating trouble. He thought that Qian Lin would have a fall-out with him, but he didn't think that she was acting so gentle this time. Looking at her smiling eyes, he was extremely awkward.

"I didn't lose my temper. I'm just going to listen to you and take it back to eat."

Qian Lin took a look at Lin Ziqi, who was too guilty to look her in the eyes. She smiled and shook her head. Then she put the things she was carrying into his hands.

"You need to be at home—alone. I had to quit the job the other day, so I can be home at noon."

Qian Lin touched Lin Ziqi's face like an adult caressing her child, and then she turned away with her small bag.

"Hey, wait a minute, please! Wait a minute, please!"

Qian Lin heard the voice and turned back to face its owner. She found that the voice came from the waitress at the fast food restaurant where they had eaten. She frowned and whispered that she should have paid enough. But thinking of Lin Ziqi, who had been unpleasant all the morning, she turned back to look at him.

…………

"Do you know her?"

Looking at Qian Lin, who was frowning, Lin Ziqi shrugged his shoulders to show that he did not know the waitress at all.

"Oh, hi, did you drop this purse just now?"

Purse? Qian Lin looked at the pink purse in the waitress's hand. The more she looked, the more familiar she felt it was. Then she reached for her bag. When she found that the bag was empty, she remembered that she hadn't put it back in her bag after she had paid the money. She couldn't help staring at Lin Ziqi fiercely. It was all because of this nasty boy.

"Yes, it's mine. Thank you. It’s all because of this nasty boy!"

Qian Ling took her purse and thanked the waitress. At the same time, she turned her head and stared at Lin Ziqi. He looked at Qian Lin, who was staring at him, and casually answered, "Why should I be blamed? You lost it yourself."

"d.a.m.n it, you are to blame. Would I have lost my purse if you hadn't created trouble?"

"Qian Lin, can you be reasonable? Why not blame yourself for not forming the good habit of checking? Why blame me?"

"Nasty boy, from small to large, it's the first time I've lost things. Of course, you're to blame."

…

Qian Lin? Wasn't she the most influential student in Yinghua Law School? the waitress thought in her heart. No wonder she felt that her mental aura was so strong, she really was not an ordinary person. She walked back with a gentle smile as Qian Lin and Lin Ziqi continued to argue.

"Hey, you, you . . .  Nasty boy, I’ll punish you when we get back."

After cursing at Lin Ziqi, Qian Lin turned around and found that the kind waitress who had picked up her purse had turned around and left. So, she left Lin Ziqi to catch up with her, and finally she reached her in front of the fast food restaurant.

"Huh. . . Why are you in such a hurry to go? Here you are; let this 100 Yuan instead of a meal express my grat.i.tude to you. Just take it!" As she spoke, Qian Lin took a 100-Yuan note from her purse and stuffed it into the waitress's hand.

"Sister, please respect me. If I wanted your money, I would not have given you back the purse."

Qian Lin looked at the waitress, who had an honest face, and realized that the action seemed to hurt her self-respect. However, she really had no time to express her grat.i.tude, because she needed to attend cla.s.s quickly. "No, that’s not what I meant. I need to go to cla.s.s in a hurry, but I want to thank you sincerely. You take the money first, and I'll come back to you someday when I have time. What do you think?"

"No good! I've received your thanks. You’d better take the money back."

"Since n.o.body wants the money, why don't you invite us to eat ice cream? Sister, I want to eat ice cream." Lin Ziqi's voice joined them at that moment.

Qian Lin wanted to turn around and kick him. She looked back at Lin Ziqi, who was smiling lightly, arching his provocative eyebrows. Finally, she realized.

"Is this your brother? He is so handsome!"

The waitress' word handsome made Qian Lin feel proud for no reason. At the same time, a feeling of indescribable sourness surged up in her heart.

"Yes, she's my sister!" Lin Ziqi put his hand on Qian Lin's shoulder and answered the waitress' question with a smile.

"d.a.m.n it, I'm only two months older than you, okay? You really don't need to pretend to be young everywhere. Be careful of being struck by lightning!"

"Well, I see. Is he your boyfriend?"

"No!" they both replied to the waitress.

Qian Lin and Lin Ziqi's word in unison startled the waitress. She smiled in her heart. They had tacit understanding while talking; how dare they say that they were not lovers?

"h.e.l.lo, give us three forty-eight Yuan ice cream. It’s my treat!"

Qian Lin took a look at Lin Ziqi and the smiling waitress.

Then she realized why she was here. After being disturbed by Lin Ziqi, she had almost forgotten her business.

"Oh, by the way, my name is Qian Lin. What's your name?"

"My name is Jiang Senyuan, your younger sister in the same school!"

Qian Lin was shocked. Are we in the same school? Did she know me long ago? Was she in the second grade of Law School? Jiang Senyuan looked at Qian Lin's startled expression on her face and recited the information she had heard.

"Qian Lin, a student in grade two of Yinghua Law School, is a person of mixed blood between China and j.a.pan. She is the most popular student, with a mysterious temperament. Did I make a mistake?"

Qian Lin listened and her eyes squinted again. Well, it turned out that Jiang Senyuan had already investigated her. Fortunately, she knew a little about her, too. At least she knew her name was Jiang Senyuan. "Jiang Senyuan, come on, the graded examination in Yinghua is quite strict! Let's work together on the graded examination this year!"

Qian Lin handed an ice cream to Jiang Senyuan as she spoke. She looked at Jiang Senyuan, who was hesitating. Qian Lin smiled and said a sentence that touched Jiang Senyuan. "Ice cream is good to eat with good friends. Come on, let’s eat together!"

Jiang Senyuan accepted the ice cream handed to her by Qian Lin with an excited face. She took a small bite of the ice cream. To tell the truth, she would never have bought such an expensive ice cream. All her money had to be used wisely. What excited her most was not that she now ate the ice cream she longed for every day, but that Qian Lin treated her as a friend.

"Hey, sister. . ."

"What's the matter?"

"You are late again!" Lin Ziqi said, stressing each word.

After hearing that, Qian Lin put the ice cream in his hand and immediately ran. Late was not terrible; more terrible was that, if she were late, she would have points deducted. And if she had more points deducted, she would have to retake a graded examination. She didn't want to. . .
