Bai Chen's eyelashes were very dense, and seeing this, he lowered his head, feeling a little awkward.
Bai Chen blinked his eyes and asked with a smile, "What is it?"
Hearing this, Lin Jingchen was slightly taken aback, then reacted and felt a little awkward: "It's nothing. By the way, judging by the little boss's appearance, you must still be in university."
"Mn," Bai Chen nodded and said, "I'm a freshman at G University right now."
"G University?" Lin Jingchen asked.
Bai Chen: "Yes, what about it?"
Bai Chen was a little puzzled. With the other's attire, he shouldn't find attending G University to be very novel.
Lin Jingchen explained: "Nothing, my university was also at G University."
"So you're a graduated senior!" Bai Chen was indeed somewhat shocked, not expecting the other to actually be a student of G University as well.
Bai Chen asked: "Then what major was Senior studying?"
Lin Jingchen: "Financial management."
Financial management? Then wouldn't the other person be the overbearing CEO from novels, yet he didn't look overbearing no matter how he looked at it.
It seemed that the identity of a CEO was only overbearing if he was the male lead.
Yet whenever he thought of the persona of an overbearing CEO, Bai Chen would think of someone sitting on a luxury leather sofa with his legs crossed, a cigarette clenched in his teeth, and occasionally exhaling wisps of smoke.
There was also the possibility of looking down condescendingly from above at the pitiful little beauty on the ground.
Lifting the other's chin with a gaze that was thirty percent obsessive, forty percent frigid, and forty percent nonchalant, he would say, "Still running, baby?"
And the little beauty would definitely fiercely resist, turning his head away stubbornly to say, "No, I will never fall in love with you. Even if I die, I won't..."
People who usually uttered words like this would end up in a fierce and passionate chase game with the overbearing CEO.
He flees, he pursues, and neither can escape with wings.
In the middle, the little beauty would definitely risk his life to escape from that place resembling a castle.
Even if he managed to escape by a fluke, he would still be wanted citywide, making a fuss as if catching a major criminal.
In Bai Chen's words, if someone really treated him like that, he wouldn't even leave if they chased him away.
Bai Chen thought to himself that perhaps he was just too fond of money, otherwise why couldn't he resist this kind of temptation?
Moreover, the little beauty would definitely fall in love with the overbearing CEO in the end.
Clearly, it was a matter that could end in a few dozen chapters, yet they dragged it out to three hundred chapters through a game of cat and mouse.
Therefore, Bai Chen preferred more realistic works; after all, no one would really block a bullet for him, nor would anyone give up everything for him.
It was better for people to be a bit more realistic.
However, could someone with Lin Jingchen's looks be one of the important characters in this book?
Bai Chen didn't dare to judge casually, because things in novels were very baffling.
Usually, the more ordinary a person was, the safer they were. The better-looking they were and the higher their status, the more extra caution was needed, or one would step on a minefield by the slightest carelessness.
It would blow up at a single touch.
Lin Jingchen lowered his gaze, his eyes constantly watching Bai Chen.
Bai Chen smiled and teased: "So it's an overbearing CEO-"
Lin Jingchen:...
The air suddenly grew quiet for a few seconds.
Then the other let out a light laugh, his eyes full of amusement, and asked in a very brisk tone: "Little boss, do you really like reading novels?"
The other's tone was not a question, but rather a certainty.
"Otherwise, why would you think that anyone wearing a suit is an overbearing CEO? I don't look like an overbearing CEO either. Where would you find an overbearing CEO coming to a teahouse to drink tea?"
Bai Chen:...
A series of three questions left Bai Chen feeling somewhat awkward.
How did he know? Was his expression that obvious?
Looking at the other in disbelief, he gently nodded: "Yes, I really like reading novels."
"And sitting in an office handling official business is not entirely without troubles and effortless; instead, I envy your major, being able to go explore all over the world after graduation." Lin Jingchen pressed his thin lips together.
"Mn." Bai Chen naturally understood.
They probably chatted there in the teahouse for another few minutes when Lin Jingchen's cell phone rang.
Lin Jingchen picked it up unhurriedly and casually pressed the answer button.
As if hearing some rather bad news, Lin Jingchen's brows furrowed slightly, his expression extremely heavy, and he replied with a few words from time to time.
"Mn, I know, I'm heading back right now. Keep that person there, don't make a fuss, and wait until I get back to decide everything." Lin Jingchen's voice grew somewhat deep.
Seeing this, Bai Chen also knew that Lin Jingchen had matters to attend to and needed to leave, so he immediately ran downstairs to grab a bag and ran back up.
When Bai Chen came back up, Lin Jingchen had already finished his call and was preparing to go downstairs.
Yet even though the other seemed to have an urgent matter, his expression was as gentle as ever.
It was as if that phone call just then hadn't affected him at all.
Lin Jingchen felt a bit apologetic and said, "Sorry, little boss, the company has some matters today so I'll be leaving first. I'll come patronize your shop again next time."
Bai Chen suddenly handed the bag in his hand forward and said, "It's fine, you go ahead."
"Also, this is a little compensation from our teahouse for you. We'll give you a discount next time you come."
Bai Chen blurted out all his words in one breath, afraid that he would delay Lin Jingchen's time.
Lin Jingchen hesitatingly took the items and said, "Thank you, then I'll be leaving first. See you next time."
Hearing this, Bai Chen turned sideways to make way for him, made a gesture inviting him to go first, and said in a soft voice, "Take care."
Seeing this, Lin Jingchen nodded slightly, and just as he was preparing to walk down, he suddenly thought of something.
Turning his head back, he leaned against the palm-wood spiral staircase, his slender fingers resting at his side.
His expression was somewhat heavy: "Also, little boss, remind that young lady later to go to the hospital and get her hand checked."
Bai Chen hadn't expected that girl to be injured either, and had thought she had only accidentally dirtied Lin Jingchen's clothes.
Yet when he had just walked in, the girl did seem to be covering one hand with the other.
Bai Chen replied: "Mn, I'll tell her later. Thank you for the reminder."
After saying that, Lin Jingchen quickly walked downstairs and left.
