A gust of cold air blew by, and even Ling Ke could feel the tangible awkwardness.

As a pro in social interactions, Qi Feng obviously wouldn’t let this stand. He took this opportunity to come clean about the dinner, making it clear that he invited Xiao Zhi out for the sole purpose of thanking her on official matters.

“Department Head Xiao has quite the sense of humor, and it was only afterwards that I found out the restaurant was a famous date spot. Though at least it helped me learn of its existence,” Qi Feng was very humble, his attitude befitting of a newly entered freshman. “I was afraid of Senior blaming me, thus jokingly warned her that she had to report this to you, though I suppose she didn’t think such a small matter was of any importance, thus forgot to mention it.”

Hearing Qi Feng’s words, Ling Ke couldn’t help but praise the other’s high EQ.

He didn’t push the blame to Xiao Zhi, made it clear that they had no relationship to speak of, and at the same time, properly preserved Zhou Yan’s honor.

If it was anyone else, they might have inadvertently labeled Xiao Zhi as “unfaithful”, making things even more awkward.

As expected, Zhou Yan didn’t mind at all after hearing this explanation, smiling as he seemed to recall: “I think I remember now. A while back, Xiao Zhi kept pestering me to take her out for steak, but since I was busy, I didn’t have the time. I think she did joke with me that another hot guy treated her instead, though I didn’t know that was you… Haha, don’t be so nervous, she’s a very open-minded person.”

Both of them were extremely eloquent people, and like this, the situation was resolved.

Liang RuiXi stood to the side playing with his phone, and after hearing this, he glanced at Ling Ke before teasing Zhou Yan, “Why do I get the feeling that your girlfriend had an ulterior motive in approaching Qi Feng?”

Zhou Yan paused and also looked at Ling Ke, and as if remembering the scene they saw when they walked in, suddenly smiled.

They exchanged a single look and knew exactly what the other was thinking.

Yet this knowing glance confused Qi Feng and Ling Ke to no end. Xiao Zhi had an ulterior motive? And it’s related to Ling Ke?

However, Zhou Yan and Liang RuiXi didn’t elaborate, and Liang RuiXi changed the topic: “What are you guys performing?”

Zhou Yan answered instead: “I think it’s piano.”

Qi Feng: “How do you know?”

Liang RuiXi: “He’s the host.”

Qi Feng was a bit shocked. Turns out Zhou Yan was the host for tonight’s event.

He then asked Liang RuiXi: “What about you?”

Zhou Yan: “He’s singing.”

Qi Feng: “……”

Did this guy always answer other people’s questions like this?

Learning from past experience, he directed his next question towards Zhou Yan: “Which song?”
