Gold Medal Sweetheart

"They posted in the group about the alumni reunion on the 28th of this month. Seeing that you haven't replied, they asked me if you want to go?" Wei Qing glanced at Jin Taize who was carefully peeling shrimp.

Tang Xin, who was eating oysters silently, heard Wei Qing's words and realized that Wei Qing and Jin Taize were classmates and friends in college.

I heard that Guanyu and Shitian have been collaborating for a while now, and since Wei Qing and Jin Taize were classmates in college, it seems likely that Jin Taize and Wei Qing's friendship is close, both personally and professionally. Judging from the lively conversation they've had since they met, this seems to be the case.

"You know I don't like attending this kind of party." Jin Taize put the shrimp on Tang Xin's plate and refused directly.

Tang Xin's face suddenly flushed, and she raised her head to glance at Wei Qing awkwardly. Although the action wasn't intimate, it inadvertently tinged them with an indescribable ambiguity.

Wei Qing's expression froze slightly, but quickly returned to normal.

"I have already declined for you before. But this party is quite big, and many members of the previous clubs, such as the drama club, Peking opera club, basketball club, dance club, football club, etc., are participating. Especially the soul of the basketball club like you, everyone hopes that you will join, so they asked me to lobby you." Wei Qing said lightly, as if he had been prepared for Jin Taize's answer.

Tang Xin's eyes lit up as she looked at Jin Taize who was peeling crabs again. She didn't expect that Jin Taize was the soul of the basketball club.

Seeing Tang Xin's incredulous look, Wei Qing gave Tang Xin some scientific information at the right time, "He was obsessed with basketball at that time, and often represented the school in competitions. He once won the MVP player in the National College Basketball Tournament. However, he skipped classes a lot because of playing basketball. He basically missed some classes, so he didn't have enough attendance points in several courses, which dragged down his final grade." Wei Qing's half-joking revelation did not make Jin Taize unhappy. Jin Taize ate by himself, as if the person Wei Qing was talking about had nothing to do with him.

"I didn't expect you to be so good at basketball!" Tang Xin's true thoughts were, "It's just a waste of time, but he's rich, so he has the money to do so." Perhaps he was destined to fail anyway, and now, he's found an excuse for his poor grades. Alas, what a mistake had the poor basketball made.

Of course, Jin Taize didn't know the turbulent waves in Tang Xin's heart, but he was very pleased with Tang Xin's flattery and raised the corners of his mouth high.

"Boys who are good at basketball must have a lot of female fans!" Tang Xin unintentionally joked about Jin Taize and winked at Wei Qing mischievously.

"Indeed, there are a lot of people like him. During those four years, he was a legend in the eyes of the girls in our school. I heard from my younger classmates that there were still girls asking about him several years after we graduated." Wei Qing said slowly.

Tang Xin had no doubt about what he said. Just based on Jin Taize's face, even if he was a fool, there would be many girls flocking to him.

"But all the girls who showed interest in him were rejected." While cutting the steak, Wei Qing looked up at Jin Taize who looked as if it had nothing to do with him, and felt sympathy for those girls who didn't know how to be treated with care by Jin Taize.

Tang Xin still remembered Yu Shan's story about Jin Taize going on numerous blind dates. It was said that they usually dated for two weeks, and he dumped every girl he dated. Some, unwilling to accept this, would repeatedly wait for him at the company entrance. So, comparing this to Wei Qing's words, it was highly likely that he was a playboy with a penchant for philandering.

"The market is so good, there's really no need to go on blind dates so frequently." Tang Xin held her chin with her right hand and looked up and down at Jin Taize, who was silently beside her. If it weren't for her current status, she really wanted to ask this guy surnamed Jin if he could play with other people's feelings just because he was handsome. At the same time, she felt sorry for those girls.

"Why, do you care about my past relationship experience?" Jin Taize, who was not very interested in such a conversation, wiped his hands with a handkerchief and suddenly turned to Tang Xin with an ambiguous look in his eyes.

"No, no," Tang Xin instinctively denied. But Jin Taize asking such a question in front of Wei Qing made her face burn. She'd wanted to embarrass him, but she'd ended up being the one embarrassed. Why was Jin Taize so unconventional?

Hearing Tang Xin's blunt answer, the light in Jin Taize's eyes dimmed, and his voice grew colder. "I'm usually busy with work, and my parents are worried that I won't have time to find a girlfriend, so they arranged for me to go on a blind date."

These parents really don't understand their son at all. Tang Xin muttered quietly, "Is there any need to worry?"

"She's worried to the point of panic," Wei Qing laughed with a hint of gloating. "Auntie once called me before and asked if he had a crush on a girl and what type she liked. But the last thing she wanted to ask was whether he liked girls. It wasn't until I told her that he was normal that Auntie finally hung up the phone with relief."

Jin Taize raised his eyebrows, seemingly not surprised by his mother's reaction. "I went there to dispel her concerns."

Perhaps his mother was overly worried. Guan Yushan had made the same joke about Jin Taize before. However, Tang Xin had gotten to know this Jin man during this period of time and Wei Qing's description today, so she had an idea. She pouted and glanced at Jin Taize beside her. This playboy must have broken the hearts of countless girls.

"Could it be that you two also met through a blind date?" Wei Qing speculated.

"Otherwise, how could I have the honor of meeting her?" Jin Taize's eyes flashed with a mischievous light, but he seemed a little serious.

Tang Xin felt that Jin Taize's words had hidden meaning and that she felt like she was being hit on a sore spot. Looking at Jin Taize who was looking at her seriously, Tang Xin could only force a smile like a person with facial paralysis, nodding at Jin Taize repeatedly, "We're lucky, we're lucky." She said it in a perfunctory tone.

Looking at Tang Xin who was obviously reluctant, Wei Qing couldn't help but laugh.

Jin Taize was very ruthless, "From your tone, I don't think you are very happy."

Tang Xin felt that any normal person would just laugh it off and let it go upon hearing such polite words, but only Jin Taize would take it seriously and really make things difficult for her.

"No, it's just that I have you, a walking aphrodisiac, by my side..." Seeing Wei Qing's face unable to hold back his laughter, Tang Xin realized that she almost blurted out the line from the bottom of her heart: "walking aphrodisiac."

"Uh - a walking dopamine. I'm a little stressed." She quickly changed her words, but still noticed that Jin Taize had caught the point she didn't say, and his eyes were as cold as a blizzard.

Tang Xin silently turned her head away, pretending not to see it. Anyway, she was already used to switching her chat with Jin Taize in this mode. "This oyster is so fresh and sweet. Would you like another one?" It was also a good idea to come to Wei Qing in time to cover for her.

"Okay." Wei Qing clenched his fist and put it on his lips to hide the smile that was coming up.

Only Jin Taize sat there with a cold look on his face.

With Wei Qing around, lunch seemed to pass quickly. It was almost time to finish. Tang Xin said she needed to go to the bathroom. Jin Taize and Wei Qing were chatting while waiting for her. Wei Qing said, "I've never seen you bring a female companion to a dinner party."

"No wonder my mother made such wild guesses." Jin Taize put his hands in his pockets, showing a self-deprecating expression.

"You are a little different today." The many years of relationship with Jin Taize have enabled them to not only cooperate and achieve win-win results in business, but also to talk about everything in life.

"It's a little different!" Jin Taize's mouth curled up into a confident and playful arc, his eyes fell on the girl in front of him who was carrying a backpack and had a high ponytail swaying rhythmically with her light footsteps. He was lost in thought for a moment.

Wei Qing also followed Jin Taize's gaze. Although he was mentally prepared, a hint of complexity flashed in his eyes.

"Are you talking about Guan Yushan?" Although Wei Qing knew that asking this was the same as not asking at all, he still spoke irrationally.

"No matter who she is, she is the first girl who actually wants to help me save money." Wei Qing rarely sees Jin Taize, who is always expressionless, with a smile on his face like he does now.
