Chapter 186: 186
"What!" Jiang Shaokai was almost choked, explaining awkwardly, "I like girls . "
"Oh?" Zhou Qilan asked with a smile, "which one?"
Jiang Shaokai just asked without replying, "How old are you?"
"One year younger than you," Zhou Qilan said, "I am 24 . "
Jiang Shaokai sat casually as Zhou Qilan did . Looking at her, he sipped his coffee and said, "Dear sister, are you trying to find out what I am thinking?"
Zhou Qilan burst into laughter and replied, "No wonder you are a medical examiner . But why would you prefer such a hard job than being a rich young master?"
"All my childhood I dreamt about being a medical examiner," he answered .
Early in primary school, when the teacher asked the class to write a composition titled My dream, unlike other students who wanted to be scientists or astronauts, Jiang Shaokai wrote that he wanted to be a medical examiner, which surprised the teacher a lot .
Zhou Qilan thought for a while and said slowly, "I truly appreciate you . "
"Actually, people from the background like him had fewer choices than they seemed to have, as no matter where your interests lied, you had to give up them and inherit the family business one day . "
"Jiang Shaokai was the only child in his family . It was amazing to say that he could insist on his dream of being a medical examiner . "
"Since I was young, I liked oil painting and dreamed of studying arts," Zhou Qilan shrugged and continued, "but finally, my parents sent me to a business college . They even forbade me to pick up the paintbrush . Now I am helping my father and brother manage the company . Although having more freedom, I have already forgotten how to draw . I just dreamed occasionally that I became a very popular artist . "
With those words, Zhou Qilan's smile slowly faded . She drank up the coffee and accurately threw the empty cup into the garbage can .
Jiang Shaokai did as Zhou Qilan but failed to imitate her free and easy . However, the cup hit the mouth of the trash can, tilted and fell on the ground . He had to pick it up and throw it again .
Zhou Qilan leaned over the fence and smiled at him, "It doesn't matter . Practice a few more times, you can hit the shot . I've been practicing for half a month . "
Zhou Qilan looked at the distance, suddenly noticed that The Bund across the river were already lit up . The reflection of the financial center behind them was on the surface of the river like uprooting from the bottom of the river, shining brilliantly .
"What should we do next?" Zhou Qilan asked, "Is it the ending time of this blind date?"
"Almost," Jiang Shaokai replied . He checked the time, it was not too late, then he asked, "Well, shall we have a meal?"
This was the first time he offered to have dinner with his date .
"I . . . " Zhou Qilan felt the shy smile and said, "I've already had my dinner . Maybe next time . I knew a pretty authentic Japanese Restaurant . I will treat you next time!”
Jiang Shaokai didn't care much, said, "I send you back . "
"Great . " Zhou Qilan said . She didn't obtain the domestic passport so she took a taxi when she came there . Now she was happy to have someone drive her back .
She lived alone in an apartment near the financial district . Jiang Shaokai maintained his normal speed and took Zhou Qilan downstairs to her apartment in less than fifteen minutes .
"Thanks, see you next time," Zhou Qilan said .
Then she was about to get off the car, Jiang Shaokai stopped her by saying, "Wait a moment, let's exchange our phone numbers . "
Zhou Qilan stumbled briefly, but she still unlocked the phone and passed it to Jiang Shaokai .
Jiang Shaokai dialed his number on Zhou Qilan's cell phone and then handed it back to her . Added, "Just to reassure my mother . "
Light breaks in upon Zhou Qilan . She could scarcely suppress a laugh and waved off .
Jiang Shaokai stared at her till she disappeared behind the door, then looked at the phone number and saved it in the contact list .
As counted, Jiang Shaokai had dated several times, but this was the first time he saved his date's number and the first time he met a girl who could be described as "special" .
When he got home, he was questioned by his mother before he stepped in the door, "Have you met each other? What do you think of her?"
“She's nice," Jiang Shaokai said while changing shoes .
"Go and court her if you feel alright!" This was the first time Jiang Shaokai felt satisfied with the date, Jiang's mother overjoyed, said, "Try to get her in three months, get married in six months and have two babies in three years!"
"You think too much, mom," Jiang Shaokai went to the restaurant, saying, "I mean it's nice to be friends . "
Jiang's mum didn't agree, for Jiang Shaokai should like Zhou Qilan's character . She followed Jiang Shaokai to the dining room, "You did not seriously date . You are being perfunctory, right?"
Jiang Shaokai took out his phone, showing that he saved Zhou Qilan's phone number .
Jiang's mum finally believed that her son indeed made efforts but was not interested in Zhou Qilan .
She heaved a deep sigh and said, "You really like Jian'an, don't you? But in the past six or seven years, obviously you have countless opportunities, why don't you tell her? Why not seize the chance?"
"Mom, I have no chance to be with her," Jiang Shaokai said smilingly, "if I told her, we could not be friends anymore . Now we work together, we can talk every day, and she can confide to me . I am satisfied . "
"Others say the rebound guy is pitiful, but you even couldn't be a rebound guy, how miserable!" Jiang's mum said .
She shook her head and left the dining room .
Jiang Shaokai looked at the dishes on the table, which were delicate and tasty, but he felt the taste was no better than chewed tallow .
In college, Jiang Shaokai was not the only one who wanted to chase Su Jian'an . There were playboys who were richer than him driving expensive sports cars to wait for her with flowers delivered by air .
However, Su Jian'an was unmoved and striving to avoid those so-called "romance" .
Wise enough, Jiang Shaokai adopted a usual way to be Su Jian'an's friend . Thus, he could hide his intentions . Gradually, he noticed that she always cared for certain information and occasionally lost herself in the financial newspapers . He guessed that she loved someone who was a social elite .
