Chapter 231: Chapter 231: Could it be because I’m too handsome in my photo?

After Zhou Yang finished speaking, the whole place was quiet for a few seconds.

Then, suddenly, the crowd erupted into cheers.

”Get together! Get together!”

”Say yes! Say yes!”

Under the teasing of the crowd, Zhou Yang’s face turned even redder.

He looked at Jin Xing, and somehow, after voicing the words in his heart, he felt much more at ease.

Moreover, after confessing his feelings, he no longer felt as nervous as he used to be around Jin Xing; his heart became incredibly tranquil, as if the usually unflustered Instructor Zhou Yang could now stand tall and straight in front of Jin Xing.

”Be my girlfriend,” Zhou Yang said once more.

Jin Xing’s beautiful eyes sparkled as she looked at Zhou Yang, with the voices and applause of the people around them ebbing and flowing.

Only then did Zhou Yang remember the little box Qin Tian had given him, so he walked over and handed it to Jin Xing.

Jin Xing, her face flushed, hesitated a moment before accepting it, but she still didn’t speak.

”Oh!”

Suddenly, a cheer burst from the crowd as Zhou Yang took Jin Xing’s hand and headed into the coffee shop, prompting jubilant cheers from the onlookers.

”Yay!”

Seeing this, Qin Tian clenched his fist and cheered.

Although Jin Xing hadn’t verbally agreed, the fact that Zhou Yang was holding her hand was a tacit acceptance that she was now his girlfriend.

After a sleepless night, it wasn’t in vain after all; Instructor Zhou Yang was now officially a member of Dragon Soul!

As the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed, Qin Tian quickly called Wild Boar to have the electronic screen set up across the street the night before removed.

”Boss, the brothers wanted me to pass on a message to you, asking if it’s worth all this fuss for a Zhou Yang? We were busy all night, and you went there so early this morning, is it really worth it?” Wild Boar on the other end, started to complain on behalf of the Dragon Soul brothers.

Qin Tian thought it was normal, as the four young masters of Dragon Soul hadn’t met Zhou Yang; in their eyes, both Wild Boar and he were top-notch in martial arts, and when they saw the efforts and resources spent to recruit Zhou Yang, only for him to play hard to get, it was only natural for them to be a bit peeved.

”Whether it’s worth it or not, you will find out later. Now, let me officially notify you that Instructor Zhou Yang is now a member of our Dragon Soul. I’ll bring him to meet you all another day,” Qin Tian said.

”Alright, since it’s like this, then I’ve got nothing to say. About the electronic screen, I’ll arrange for people to take it down right now,” Wild Boar said.

After hanging up the phone, Qin Tian approached the Starlight Coffee Shop and saw Zhou Yang and Jin Xing sitting opposite each other inside the café, looking somewhat awkward and silent.

He Yuzi, however, was at the cash register, pretending to play with her phone while occasionally stealing glances at them and trying to suppress her giggles.

”Ahem...”

Now that he was inside, Qin Tian definitely needed to cough twice in a serious manner to announce his presence.

”You’re here again? Did you see the ’closed for business’ sign at the door today?”

Seeing Qin Tian enter and disrupt the intimate atmosphere, He Yuzi quickly came over to block him.

”Hey, are you not welcoming me?” Qin Tian said in a low voice.

”I’m reminding you not to spoil the moment,” He Yuzi replied, glancing at Zhou Yang and Jin Xing.

”Pfft.” Qin Tian laughed, ”Spoil the moment? I bet the two of them had been sitting there just looking at each other for over ten minutes, right?”

He Yuzi looked taken aback, as if to say, how do you know?

”Right now they’re both feeling awkward, and they need someone like me to break the ice; otherwise, I bet neither of them will start talking...”

Glancing at He Yuzi, Qin Tian showed a confident expression and walked towards Zhou Yang and his companion.

He Yuzi wanted to stop him, but hesitated and ultimately did nothing.

”Hey, make me a cup of Tieguanyin tea,” Qin Tian called to He Yuzi without looking back.

As he spoke, he swaggered over to the seat next to Zhou Yang and Jin Xing, saying, ”Hey, the weather’s nice today...”

A glance, and the two of them had still not spoken.

”What are you two doing? Have you reached the level of communicating with just glances without needing to speak?” Qin Tian waved his hand between them and said, ”Now that you guys are boyfriend and girlfriend, you should communicate more deeply. How about I treat you to lunch at noon?”

After his speech, the two of them still said nothing.

Qin Tian grabbed his head in frustration, ”I mean, why do I feel more anxious about your relationship than you guys do?”

Finally, Zhou Yang spoke up, ”The Emperor isn’t in a hurry, yet the eunuch is.”

Then, Jin Xing moved her lips and also spoke, ”Zhou Yang, I... I know how you feel... but, I can’t decide on this matter by myself, I need my elder sister’s approval.”

Qin Tian had thought Jin Xing was going to mention her parents. Instead of waiting for Zhou Yang to speak, he blurted out, ”Does your elder sister have a lot of authority in your family? Give her a call to have her come over, let’s have a good chat. What kind of society is this, that people still interfere with their younger sister’s marriage?”

Jin Xing’s face turned red, and she said, ”She isn’t my biological elder sister, she is... well, it’s a long story.”

”She’s from your former Rose Assassination Group, right?” Zhou Yang spoke up.

Upon hearing this, Jin Xing was taken aback. She glanced at Qin Tian as if she hadn’t been prepared for Zhou Yang to mention the ”Rose Assassination Group” in front of Qin Tian.

After all, the Rose Assassination Group had tried to kill many people in the past and had many enemies. Casually mentioning this name could easily lead to attracting grudges.

Zhou Yang seemed to see through Jin Xing’s thoughts and said, ”Jin Xing, you probably don’t know, but this guy sitting next to us who seems pretty amusing... is the Dragon King.”

”The Dragon King?” Jin Xing was startled, and He Yuzi at the cash register, hearing this, was also surprised.

Zhou Yang added, ”The Dragon King of Dragon Soul, Qin Tian.”

Upon these words, both He Yuzi’s and Jin Xing’s expressions immediately changed.

They had not expected the head of Dragon Soul to have also come to Zhonghai City.

And this Dragon King, his persona didn’t seem as cold as the legends suggested!

”No wonder he looked slightly familiar; turns out I’ve seen him in profile photos a few years back,” He Yuzi said as she handed Qin Tian the Tieguanyin tea.

”So, you mean to tell me that you guys were once hired to kill me?” Qin Tian asked back.

”Mmm, but my elder sister rejected the job after seeing your profile photo...”

”Yuzi!”

Before He Yuzi could finish, Jin Xing interrupted her and gave her a warning look. Realizing she had said too much, He Yuzi pursed her lips and backed away.

”Heh, I didn’t expect your elder sister to actually turn down such a straightforward business opportunity. Couldn’t be because the price offered was too low, could it?” Qin Tian chuckled.

Jin Xing didn’t speak, clearly not willing to discuss her elder sister any further.

”Not because of that? Then... could it be that she found me too handsome in the photo and couldn’t bear to lay a hand on this adorable piece of fresh meat?”

”...”
