Quite awkward

Chapter 138 Blind Date

A scene of Tangwan.

Mu Chenan stood next to the TV cabinet and directed the porters to deliver the luggage bags containing clothes into the cloakroom in the corner, and temporarily placed the remaining items in the living room.

Qi Yu felt too tired to stand, so after entering the house, she put a pillow behind her waist, sat on the beige fabric petal sofa, and looked up at him blankly.

Even though it was his first time visiting her new home, she had the illusion that he was the male owner.

After the porters left, Qi Yu thought for a moment, then stood up and went to the kitchen to get a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Mu Chenan.

"Second brother, thank you for your hard work."

Mu Chenan took his hands out of his pockets, took the mineral water, unscrewed the bottle and took a few sips. He said faintly, "You didn't even make me a cup of hot tea. Is this how you treat guests?"

Qi Yu sat back on the sofa and pursed his lips.

"You can make your own. There's tea in the kitchen cupboard."

Mu Chenan took two steps back and looked over there.

The kitchen was fully equipped with pots, pans, tea, rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. The eldest brother had already arranged for someone to set it up, waiting for Qi Yu to return to Linjiang and move in at any time.

The eldest brother was indeed very good to Qi Yu, even better than his younger brother.

He walked around a few steps and looked around the house casually. It was not that good and was far inferior to his single-family villa.

Back in the living room, he casually mentioned that he had a large flat with a river view in the neighborhood next door.

“You’ve been there once before, remember?”

Qi Yu fell into memories.

That time, she woke up in a strange and luxurious room. The house was empty. Knowing that this was Mu Chenan's home, she didn't dare to stay any longer. She left a note and hurried away.

"Remember."

"The river view there is worse than here, the master bedroom has a bathtub, and the property management will deliver takeout and express delivery directly to your home. You might as well move there."

As soon as the words fell, Qi Yu decisively refused; "No, this place is great, I like it very much."

Mu Chenan choked in his throat, sighed softly, turned and walked towards the open balcony. The river breeze blew across his face, leaving no trace.

Perhaps in her mind, what her elder brother gave her was the best, so it was more worthy of her cherishing.

Qi Yu's gaze followed him unconsciously, and she vaguely saw a lonely and frustrated figure.

Without giving it much thought, she stood up and went into the bedroom to make the bed, ensuring she had a place to sleep that night, planning to slowly pack the rest of her luggage later.

After making the bed, Qi Yu sat at the end of the bed and looked down at her phone. The door was open and Mu Chenan walked to the door and called her.

"Qi Yu, it's almost six o'clock. Come on, I'll take you to dinner."

Since she had already agreed to have dinner with him, she lowered her head, stood up, pulled at her sweater, walked to the living room, picked up her coat and put it on.

The two walked to the elevator entrance one after the other and waited for the elevator. Mu Chenan glanced at her sideways, then walked behind her to help her straighten the curled collar. This posture was very much like a man hugging a woman from behind.

“I’m distracted even when getting dressed.”

"without."

Qi Yu raised her hands to tidy herself up, and accidentally touched Muchen's An Weiliang fingers. She immediately retracted her hands and took a step forward to escape from his encirclement.

Mu Chenan put his hand away, walked to stand next to her, and watched her frantically smooth out the creases on her clothes.

The elevator door opened to both sides and two people walked into the elevator at the same time.

……

The place we had dinner today was a very romantic western restaurant.

There were no private rooms here, so Mu Chenan asked for a seat in the corner. No one passed by except the waiter delivering food. The two of them sat opposite each other, with Qi Yu facing away, so others could not see her face.

There was live violin performance in the store, and the soft music flowed slowly. The sky outside gradually darkened, there was a dark yellow chandelier above the head, and the roses in the vase on the dining table exuded a rich floral fragrance.

Qi Yu placed her hands on the dining table, head down, in a daze. She didn't know how to find topics to chat about, and she didn't need to force herself to communicate with Mu Chenan. She just wanted to finish the meal and go back to her own homes. She had no expectation of meeting him again.

While waiting for the meal, Mu Chenan received a work call. While talking, he looked at Qi Yu opposite him. Guessing that she was bored, he quickly arranged his work and put down his phone.

“Will you be scared at night if you live alone in a new house?”

Qi Yu said two words firmly: "No."

The new home is extremely private and fully secure, so there's nothing to be afraid of. The only thing I'm worried about is whether she'll have insomnia tonight because she's used to her bed.

Mu Chenan was stunned for half a second.

She didn't give him any chance at all and was obviously on guard against him.

He continued calmly, "My brother is not in Linjiang now. If you encounter any problems, you can call me."

Qi Yu used a straw to stir the juice in the glass and replied casually, "Don't bother you. I can usually handle it myself. For example, today's moving, I actually..."

Mu Chenan interrupted her softly, with a hint of helplessness in his voice.

"Qi Yu, don't you even want to give me a chance to be nice to you?"

She could accept all of her elder brother's kindness to her, but she would avoid him whenever he just offered a small favor.

He hated her treating him differently.

Qi Yu had no experience in dealing with emotions, and faced with his questioning, she resolved it with silence as usual.

The waiter brought the food. Because of the unpleasantness just now, the two of them quietly cut the steaks on their plates without any further communication.

Qi Yu was eating and turning on an episode of a TV series. He didn't notice someone suddenly came to the table until he heard a young female voice -

"It's really Brother Chen An. I thought you looked like me from a distance, so I came over to say hello."

Mu Chenan looked up at the other person and frowned.

"Who are you?"

The girl had short hair that reached her ears and looked to be in high school. She was lively and did not feel embarrassed because Mu Chenan did not know her.

She stood here openly and talked about the relationship between the two elders.

"My name is Duan Xinran. I belong to the Duan family, which runs a chain of convenience stores in Linjiang. My mom and Aunt Shen Shuang are good friends. I went to Brother Yanqing's wedding with my mom a while ago, and I remember you were the best man."

Duan Xinran paused, then lowered her eyes to meet Qi Yu's, and said excitedly: "I still remember this beautiful sister was the bridesmaid. Oh, yes, I know your name, you are Qi Yu."

One of her classmates was a fan of Qi Yu and gave her some cosmetics endorsed by Qi Yu.

Qi Yu was suddenly recognized. She was not shy and nodded slightly to Duan Xinran with a friendly and kind smile on her face.

Mu Chenan still didn't have much impression of this girl. He only knew that she was the daughter of the Duan family, so he casually greeted her, "Are you with your classmates?"

"Yes, today is the weekend and the school is closed, so my best friend and I went out to eat Western food." Duan Xinran looked at Muchenan's handsome profile, and the smile on her face was almost overflowing.

"Okay, I'll treat you guys to this meal. Go order now, and remember to mention my name when you pay."

At this point, Mu Chenan actually wanted to drive people away.

"Brother Chen An, you are such a nice person. It would be even better if you could be my brother-in-law. When will you meet my sister?"

Brother-in-law?

Mu Chenan glanced at Qi Yu across from him quickly, then looked up again and asked in confusion, "What meeting?"

Duan Xinran was a little nervous when he looked at her. She tapped the edge of the table with her fingers, lowered her head and hesitated for a long time before she spoke: "My mother and Aunt Shen Shuang are planning to set you up on a blind date with my sister. Don't worry, my sister is very beautiful, successful in her career, and has a gentle personality. As long as you meet her..."

Hearing this, Mu Chenan's face showed impatience, but he resisted the urge to attack the little girl. He waved his hand and didn't want to talk any more.

"Okay, let's go eat."

Duan Xin then took two steps back and bravely continued to say: "You will definitely fall in love with my sister."

After leaving these words, she turned and ran away, her back bouncing and skipping, the little girl had no psychological burden at all.

Mu Chenan couldn't eat because of this commotion. He stared at Qi Yu, hoping that she would look up at him.

But she didn't care and continued to concentrate on watching the video on her phone.

"Qi Yu, I didn't even know there was such a thing as a blind date, and I wouldn't agree to go on one."

Qi Yu distractedly answered him: "Second brother, maybe you can go meet that girl's sister, maybe you will like her."

The next moment, Mu Chenan slammed the table angrily and aggrievedly, reached out to take her phone, turned off the TV series, and threw it on the table with a serious and solemn expression.

“You think I like you are kidding?”

Qi Yu nodded lightly.

In fact, she believed that his love was real, but she also felt that this love would not last long.

The cold night wind came in through the window, like a sharp knife stabbing Mu Chenan's chest. Qi Yu's careless attitude made his heart sink rapidly, twitching with pain.
