Quick Wear: After Saving the Cannon Fodder, I Became a God

After the two continued shopping for a while, Gu Qian looked at the time on his phone and thought it was about time to go back.

She stopped and prepared to say goodbye to Jian Zhiyi: "Jian Zhiyi, it's getting late now. I have some things to deal with in the afternoon, so I have to go back first. Thank you very much for accompanying me shopping today and acting as my tour guide. I will definitely treat you to a meal next time I have the chance!"

When Jian Zhiyi heard this, a trace of regret and reluctance appeared on his face, but he knew that he couldn't force her to stay. He responded softly: "Are you going back so soon? I drove out today, how about I give you a ride!"

Gu Qian was slightly startled, feeling a little strange. Although they had walked together for a long time today, strictly speaking, they had only met twice. If she took his car, it would feel a little inappropriate. So she quickly waved her hand and said politely, "No, I can take the bus back by myself, it's not far."

However, Jian Zhiyi said firmly: "It's okay, I just happened to be on my way home. And I have nothing to do next, and I plan to go back now, so let me take you home!"

At this moment, Gu Qian suddenly remembered that he also lived in that residential area. In this case, there was really no suitable reason to refuse his kindness. She nodded helplessly and agreed: "Okay, then I'll trouble you. Thank you!"

Jian Zhiyi opened the car door and invited Gu Qian to get in.

The car was very quiet. Jian Zhiyi couldn't start a conversation while driving, and Gu Qian didn't know what to say. So the two of them were silent all the way, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

"We were having a good chat this morning, so why do you feel awkward now?" Gu Qian felt very puzzled but did not show it.

The car drove to the downstairs of Gu Qian's house, and she thanked Jian Zhiyi again.

"I'll go upstairs then. Bye." Gu Qian was about to turn around and open the car door when Jian Zhiyi stopped her.

"Wait a minute, Gu Qian." He hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "You said you wanted to treat me to a meal, so... how about tomorrow? There will be a musical performance at the downtown theater tomorrow afternoon, and I would like to invite you to watch it."

As Jian Zhiyi spoke, he carefully observed Gu Qian's reaction. He could clearly feel that the atmosphere on the road was a bit awkward, and he also felt Gu Qian's retreat.

He knew very well that if he didn't take the initiative to ask her out, she might shrink back like a frightened rabbit. Moreover, if he didn't ask her out in person, she would probably find all kinds of excuses to reject him. So, he didn't want to give her any chance to escape.

Gu Qian was obviously a little surprised when she heard Jian Zhiyi's invitation. She lowered her head and was silent for a long time, feeling very conflicted. She really didn't know whether she should accept the invitation or not. Because just now, she had really felt the uncomfortable feeling, and she was afraid that the same situation would happen tomorrow.

"I..." Gu Qian opened her mouth and was about to say no, but her eyes fell on Jian Zhiyi's face involuntarily. She saw the uneasiness and anxiety in his eyes, and her heart moved: "Forget it!"

"I'm not familiar with City A. You know where the food is delicious. You can arrange it, but don't compete with me for the bill." Gu Qian still softened her heart, and there was a hint of complaint and threat in her tone.

"Okay! I'll arrange it. Can I pick you up at ten o'clock tomorrow morning?" Jian Zhiyi keenly caught Gu Qian's initial reluctance. At that moment, his heart was really confused.

But when he heard Gu Qian's voice that he agreed, he was really ecstatic, and the villain in his heart was already shouting wildly. Although he didn't know why Gu Qian finally chose to agree, who cares! As long as he agreed, it would be fine.

"In the morning? Isn't it afternoon?" Gu Qian thought that this person was really cunning. They could obviously watch the musical in the afternoon and then go for dinner, but he had to make an appointment in the morning.

"I'll take you to the ancient architecture village this morning, okay? There is a well-preserved ancient architecture complex in City A, it's very beautiful!" Jian Zhiyi felt a little guilty, but at the same time he was also a little excited and expectant. He just wanted to spend more time with Gu Qian.

Well, this guy really got her. She was still very interested in history, culture and ancient architecture. "Okay. See you tomorrow at ten o'clock."

Hearing Gu Qian's answer, Jian Zhiyi's heart was relieved and a bright smile appeared on his face. He quickly responded: "Okay, I will wait for you here on time at ten o'clock tomorrow."

Seeing Jian Zhiyi's happy expression, Gu Qian's mood gradually relaxed. She secretly told herself that she must perform well this time and not let the atmosphere become awkward again.

After Gu Qian went upstairs, Jian Zhiyi did not leave immediately. He leaned against the car, looking at the window of Gu Qian's house, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

He took out his cell phone and called Song Ke.

After hanging up the phone, he drove to Song Ke's restaurant.

"Hey, here you are! Tell me what's going on, is the iron tree blooming?"

As soon as Jian Zhiyi entered the private room, he heard Song Ke's teasing voice. "Yeah. You still want to be an old cow eating young grass." Jian Zhiyi said with a self-deprecating smile.

Hearing this, Song Ke, who was originally sitting crookedly, immediately sat up straight and said seriously: "Are you serious? Sure, Jian Zhiyi, you finally have an idea at the age of 25. Your uncles and aunts are all suspecting that you want to become a monk! But how tender is this tender grass?"

Jian Zhiyi rolled his eyes when he heard the previous words, "She is only 17, just got admitted to University A, and came here to study."

"What! You can do this?" Song Ke said in shock.

"I don't want to either, but I had a different feeling about her the first time I saw her, and I really don't want to miss it." Jian Zhiyi said helplessly.

"how did you guys meet?"

"It was about a month ago. Lele asked me to accompany her to look for Zhao Qing. Who knew they were going to catch someone cheating? I followed them. Gu Qian was sitting next to the table where Zhao Qing's ex-boyfriend and his mistress were sitting."

Thinking of this, Jian Zhiyi continued with some amusement: "I was watching her the whole time, but she was just watching the fun, her eyes never moved away from the adultery. She thought she was hiding it well, but I could see the excitement in her eyes."

Song Ke also found it a little funny. "And then?"

"I sent them all away, and apologized to her on the pretext that Zhao Qing almost smashed a plate on her, and then I got her phone number. But I didn't dare to call her, and I didn't know what to say. Today, when I was driving past her neighborhood, I happened to see her getting on a bus, so I drove after her."

"That's great! It seems like you guys get along pretty well." Song Ke praised Jian Zhiyi's performance. After all, given his lack of experience, this was already very good.

"Everything was fine before, but the atmosphere was very awkward when I sent her back. I made an appointment with her to watch a musical tomorrow, and although she agreed, I could see that she didn't want to agree at first." Jian Zhiyi felt a headache when he said this.

"Oh, you are too impatient. The girl is obviously not the open type. She felt what you meant, so she backed off. This is normal. But she finally agreed, which shows that she is not without feelings."
