"Sorry, I don't have the habit of eating people."

Qin Chuan responded lightly.

"I find you really don't understand romance." Wen Yaxin shook off Qin Chuan's hand, looking frustrated.

Growing up, she never failed to tease a guy.

Especially someone like Qin Chuan, who clearly just came out of the countryside not long ago.

Inexperienced, full of curiosity about the world.

A little teasing, and they'd blush ear to ear.

But Qin Chuan was like a block of wood, just glanced at her without any other reaction.

"Is it my charm not enough?"

Wen Yaxin silently doubted herself.

But she quickly dismissed the idea.

She had absolute confidence in her figure and appearance.

Usually, boys wanting to chase her could form a line three times around Jiangcheng.

The issue clearly wasn't her figure or looks.

"Could it be that he's pretending to be calm, trying to attract my attention, playing hard to get?" Wen Yaxin's lashes fluttered as she glanced at Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan remained the same, looking straight ahead, expressionless.

Soon, they arrived at a trendy restaurant known for its sauerkraut fish.

Qin Chuan had never been to this type of trendy chain restaurant, but seeing it packed, he thought the food must be good.

However, as it turned out, he was overthinking.

When a large plate of sauerkraut fish was served, Qin Chuan was obviously taken aback.

The plate looked big, but there were only a few pieces of meat.

The rest were all sauerkraut and some inexpensive vegetables.

This thing dares to sell for over a hundred yuan per serving.

These ingredients probably wouldn't even cost thirty yuan at a food market.

"Damn! Rip-off!"

Qin Chuan cursed silently and then consoled himself, maybe it would taste good?

But again, he was thinking too much.

The taste was very mediocre; one bite felt like eating the periodic table of elements, full of disdain.

Perhaps this was what TV now referred to as ready-to-eat meals.

After this meal, Qin Chuan was positive he wouldn't come a second time.

"What, the food not to your taste?" Wen Yaxin couldn't help but ask upon seeing his furrowed brow.

"This stuff, I advise you to eat it less in the future, it's not good for your health." Qin Chuan gently reminded.

"Uh..."

Wen Yaxin rolled her eyes speechlessly, "You really don't understand romance, who starts lecturing the first time they eat out with a girl?"

"Whatever."

Qin Chuan waved his hand, not dwelling on the matter.

Then, Wen Yaxin began to inquire about Qin Chuan's personal situation.

Qin Chuan chatted intermittently, not very enthusiastic.

This made Wen Yaxin feel a strong sense of defeat.

She's never seen a guy as clueless about romance as Qin Chuan.

Usually, not to mention eating out, even just smiling at a guy could dazzle him.

And she quite enjoyed the feeling of guys circling around her.

But using the same tricks on Qin Chuan felt like punching cotton.

"Pretend, keep pretending, I want to see how long you can maintain your aloofness." Wen Yaxin's competitiveness was completely sparked.

After the meal, Qin Chuan checked the time and prepared to head home to help his stepmother with a massage.

"It's just half past seven, accompany me for a stroll." Wen Yaxin blinked, her eyes twinkling.

Qin Chuan shook his head, "I have something to do tonight, need to go home."

"What, does your family have a curfew?"

Wen Yaxin was a bit displeased, "You're twenty, an adult, are you still afraid of your elders at home?"

Qin Chuan shook his head again, "No, I really have something to do."

"Are you a blockhead? I'm inviting you to shop." Wen Yaxin stomped her foot, "Don't you understand the subsequent steps?"

"Steps? What steps?"

Qin Chuan was puzzled, it's just a meal, what steps could there be?

Besides, wasn't the meal finished?

Wen Yaxin was exasperated, "After shopping, we watch a movie, and then, and then..."

"And then what?" Qin Chuan asked cluelessly.

"Then get a room, you dummy!" Wen Yaxin said angrily, blushing.

"Uh..."

Qin Chuan's eyes twitched, thinking, city girls are indeed bold. Damn, we've only met twice and she's thinking about getting a room; isn't she lusting after my body?

Seductress! You'll not trick me!

There's no way to agree to getting a room, the stepmother's treatment couldn't be interrupted.

So, he had to go home at night.

Qin Chuan declined Wen Yaxin's invitation to get a room, then turned and left.

"He just left? Left?"

Wen Yaxin stood dumbfounded, staring in disbelief at Qin Chuan's departing figure, silently began to wonder about life.

She expressed herself so openly, yet Qin Chuan still managed to walk away?

Now she's starting to wonder if Qin Chuan is playing hard to get or if he simply doesn't like women.

Otherwise, what guy could refuse such an invitation?

Of course, even if Qin Chuan agreed, Wen Yaxin wouldn't really go to a room with him.

She said it just to prove her charm and tease Qin Chuan a bit.

Didn't expect Qin Chuan to be unmoved.

Growing up, it's her first time experiencing such a strong sense of defeat.

"Qin Chuan, well done, you've successfully caught my attention."

Wen Yaxin's eyes flashed with intense interest, her competitive streak fully ignited.

Meanwhile, after Qin Chuan got home, he found his stepmother already waiting in bed.

"Mei Aunt, sorry, had dinner with a friend, came back late." Qin Chuan apologized.

"Silly child, Mei Aunt doesn't blame you, no need to apologize."

Stepmother smiled gently, "It's a good thing to make friends. Seeing you make friends so quickly, Mei Aunt is happy."

"Actually, more like an acquaintance, a granddaughter of an elder." Qin Chuan scratched his head embarrassedly, then briefly mentioned Wen Yaxin's situation.

After hearing it, the stepmother felt an inexplicable sense of loss.

Almost as if she didn't want Qin Chuan to have dinner with other girls.

"Am I jealous?"

The stepmother was startled by her own thought.

She couldn't understand why she'd feel lost over Qin Chuan dining with another girl.

This should be a good thing.

It shows Qin Chuan is integrating well into city life.

But why feel lost?

Is she really jealous?

The stepmother felt uneasy, so much so that when Qin Chuan started massaging her, she couldn't calm her mind.

When Qin Chuan massaged the Zhongfu point, for the first time, she didn't turn her face away.

She bit her lip, eyes seemingly flickering with a flame, staring intently at Qin Chuan.

The desire within surged like a tide.

She wanted!

She wanted to break that taboo.

She wanted to completely possess her stepson!
