“Hold the steak down with your fork like this, then slice it gently . You don’t have to use so much force,” Yan Rusheng said to Bai Jing, suddenly lifting his head .
There wasn’t a hint of mockery or despise in his tone .
Bai Jing hesitated . She blushed profusely—though out of shyness rather than embarrassment .
She nodded gently . She hurriedly looked down and followed his instructions, getting it in no time .
“You have good comprehension skills,” Yan Rusheng praised Bai Jing as he chewed on a piece of steak . Then he glanced at Su Yue, giving her an indecipherable smile .
Su Yue frowned . “What do you want?”
Yan Rusheng raised his eyebrows . “He has to place his hands on yours to teach you how to dribble?”
Su Yue finally realized that he was praising Bai Jing, only to emphasize her foolishness . She frowned and quipped, “Annoying . ”
Bai Jing, whose mind was still reeling in happiness from Yan Rusheng’s praise, regained her senses . A ruminate smile flitted across her blushing face .
Her glance once again subconsciously flitted to Yan Rusheng’s face, her eyes full of adoration and yearning .
Yan Rusheng had his mouth full of food . He drank a mouthful of water before asking Su Yue, “Do you even know the guy you’re dating?”
“Yes,” Su Yue replied, nodding . “He’s called Jiao Chen, 21 this year . He’s in his third year and studies Chinese . His results are super impressive . ”
In her eyes, Jiao Chen had no flaws .
Yan Rusheng was speechless .
She called this ‘knowing’? This naïve lass…
He seriously said, “Don’t be so clueless . You could get sold off without even knowing . ”
Su Yue replied coolly, “Jiao Chen is not a human trafficker . Why would he sell me?”
There was a long pause .
“By the way, Third Brother,” Su Yue blurted, lifting her head to look at him . She smiled and said, “Bai Jing has a lot of suitors in school . ”
Yan Rusheng smiled, saying nothing .
He had gone through all this during his university days as well . It was usual for girls to have suitors . Only this little lass made such a fuss .
Bai Jing blushed . She glared at Su Yue, then glanced at Yan Rusheng . She was disappointed .
She gripped her utensils tightly, biting on her lower lip until it turned white .
“Third Brother, do you play basketball?” Su Yue asked after two bites .
Yan Rusheng replied without a tinge of modesty . “My skills are definitely not worse than that Senior Jiao Chen . ”
His eyes filled with pride .
Su Yue looked at him in suspicion . “Are you just bragging?”
Jiao Chen was superb at basketball . Could Third Brother be better than him?
Hmph! She didn’t believe so .
Young Master Yan was not used to having his abilities under doubt . He said, “One day, I’ll bring Ming Ansheng, Lu Yinan and the gang over to have a friendly match with that Jiao Chen . ”
Su Yue bit her fork, the smile on her face instantly disappearing . “There’s no need for that . ”
She rolled her eyes at Yan Rusheng, then continued eating .
Piece by piece she stuffed the steak into her mouth, but it now seemed tasteless .
Actually, when Yan Rusheng suggested having a friendly match with Jiao Chen, she was up for it . But when she heard that Ming Ansheng would be there… forget it .
She didn’t want to see him . No, more like she couldn’t see him . She had to get over him quickly—get over the feelings she had for him .
