It was an ordinary sentence, but Jiujiu couldn't help blushing and her heart beating faster.
"When did you learn to be so glib from Qian Jiayu?"
"I'm not glib. You're really good-looking."
The most moving thing was not sweet talk, but the sweet talk from someone who didn't usually say sweet words.
Because Jing Ke was the least likely to say sweet words, the words coming out of his mouth made Jiujiu feel even more moved.
Jiujiu looked up at Jing Ke.
Jing Ke looked at Jiujiu gently.
Jiujiu bit her lip. "Jing Ke, if you praise me like this, I'll think you have a crush on me."
Then Jiujiu saw Jing Ke's face turn reddish brown in an instant. As time went by, the redness on his face increased little by little, and in the end, it looked like a monkey's butt.
Jiujiu didn't expect that her teasing words could make Jing Ke react so strongly, and she was a little surprised.
After sensing the surprise in Jiujiu's eyes, Jing Ke quickened his pace and walked to the front. Without looking at Jiujiu, he said, "Can't I praise you for nothing?"
"You praise me for nothing, but you've never praised me for being good-looking. Now that you suddenly praise me for being good-looking, I think you have a crush on me."
Jing Ke realized that he couldn't outtalk Jiujiu, so he changed the topic. "What are you going to eat later?"
Jiujiu knew that Jing Ke was shy, so she stopped teasing him and said, "I want to eat hot pot."
On a cold winter day, there was nothing better than a hot pot to dispel the coldness of the body.
"Okay."
Because there were many students from other places in the school, the canteen was not closed immediately after the holidays, and several small windows were still open.
But because there was no hot pot in the canteen, Jiujiu and Jing Ke took a taxi to the mall.
There was a Sichuan-style hot pot restaurant in the mall. Jiujiu walked in without thinking.
Many people said that Sichuan's hotpot was spicy, but Jiujiu didn't think so. Sichuan's hotpot was mostly spicy. If one wanted to talk about spiciness, they had to talk about Hunan and Chongqing. The spiciness over there was real spiciness.
Jiujiu knew that Jing Ke couldn't eat spicy food, so she ordered a Mandarin Duck Hotpot and started to order the wrong dishes.
Tripe and beef were indispensable. There was also Jiujiu's favorite shrimp paste, enoki mushrooms, potato slices, dried tofu skin, and finally some coriander. It was perfect.
Jiujiu ordered her favorite dishes and handed the menu to Jing Ke.
Jing Ke added Jiujiu's favorite rice noodles and asked the waiter to serve the dishes.
Jiujiu drank the juice from the hotpot restaurant and went to make the dipping sauce.
The taste of the hotpot was relatively simple, but the taste of the dipping sauce varied greatly because of the different ingredients added.
For example, Jiujiu's favorite sauce was chili, garlic, chives, a small pinch of coriander, old soy sauce, oil, balsamic vinegar, and a little sesame sauce. It was perfect.
Jiujiu also made a dipping sauce for Jing Ke, and then took out her phone to check Weibo.
As soon as she checked Weibo, she saw a hot search.
It seemed that her readers had exposed the fact that she was 18 years old. Then some people pointed out that Jiujiu's writing was sophisticated and it was impossible for an 18-year-old girl to write a novel. They thought that Jiujiu was probably an old person and used the fact that she was 18 years old to create hype. They even suspected that Jiujiu was not a single person, but a team behind her.
Obviously, Jiujiu's appearance hindered something, so they spared no effort to slander Jiujiu.
Although the hot search ranking was not very high, Jiujiu was still very unhappy when she saw it.
She was just writing a book obediently. How could she be slandered?
If these haters knew that not only could she write books, she could also write songs and sing, she even had good cooking skills, and she could even win a Nobel Prize, they would be furious.
Jiujiu directly reposted this Weibo post and commented.
I have never changed my name or my surname. I am eighteen years old.
"Also, about the team hype you mentioned, I want to say that I'm only 18 years old this year. I only want to study hard and write well. I don't have so many schemes.
After reposting the Weibo post, Jiujiu turned off her phone and started to eat seriously.
The aroma of the hotpot quickly dispersed Jiujiu's unhappiness. Jiujiu took a bite of the beef, and her mouth was full of oil. She couldn't be more satisfied.
As for Jing Ke, he looked at Jiujiu as he ate. Occasionally, he would put the cooked meat and prawns into Jiujiu's bowl.
After a while, Jiujiu's bowl was full of food that Jing Ke had given her.
Jiujiu quickly waved her hand. "You eat. Don't worry about me. I will do it myself."
Only then did Jing Ke start to eat his own food.
After eating, the two of them went to the shopping mall for a while. Jiujiu bought a set of clothes for herself and a set of clothes for Jing Ke.
However, because of the trendy colors this year, the colors of their clothes were relatively similar. Because of the similar styles, they looked like a couple's outfit.
The two of them changed into the new clothes. Although they didn't hold hands, passersby couldn't help but glance at them. With just one glance, they felt that the two of them were really compatible.
The next day, the two of them went out to buy some local specialties that could be taken away. They took them back home and prepared to go home the next day at the train station.
On the day when the two of them went to the train station, Jing Ke took everything he could carry. On the other hand, Jiujiu seemed to be going out to play. She carried a small backpack and a small bag of food. She looked like a tourist.
After getting on the train, Jing Ke put everything on the shelf, and Jiujiu took out the food she had prepared. The two of them sat in the corridor. Jiujiu ate and talked to Jing Ke. She also told him that she was going to B City to look at houses.
Jing Ke's eyes deepened. "I will go with you."
Jiujiu looked up at Jing Ke. "I am going to look at houses. What are you going to do?"
"I am going to look at houses too?"
"Are you rich?"
It wasn't that Jiujiu looked down on Jing Ke, but the house prices in B City were not low now. The down payment was at least two to three hundred thousand yuan. Did Jing Ke have so much money?
Jing Ke smiled. "Didn't I tell you that I made some money by speculating in the stock market some time ago? Although it's not as much as you, it's almost enough for the down payment."
Jiujiu had always known that speculating in the stock market was very profitable, but she didn't expect Jing Ke to be so powerful.
He had earned hundreds of thousands in just a few months. Jiujiu's eyes lit up instantly. "Boss, I will give you my money in the future. Can you help me speculate?"
"Aren't you afraid that I will take your money away?"
"With our relationship, what are you afraid of? Besides, I know where your house is. If you dare to take my money, I will go to your house and block you."
Jiujiu chuckled, revealing a row of neat little white teeth. The two little dimples on her cheeks made her look exceptionally sweet.
