Heart Stealer

On an autumn morning, a ray of sunlight shines through the window of the cafe.

Qiu Xue, dressed in a light blue dress, looked like a fresh and elegant lily. She sat quietly in a corner of the cafe, her eyes fixed on Xiao Tuobang, who was not far away.

Seeing Xiao Tuobang chatting and laughing with the blind date girl sitting opposite him, Qiu Xue's anger gradually rose.

Finally, she could no longer bear this scene, so she stood up and walked straight towards Xiao Tuobang.

Qiu Xuelai walked up to Xiao Tuobang, raised her chin slightly, and asked loudly in a deliberately strange voice: "Hey, isn't this Brother Tuobang? I really never thought that our handsome Brother Tuobang, who has charmed thousands of girls, would actually come to participate in a blind date! Tsk tsk tsk tsk..."

Her voice was so loud that all the customers in the cafe turned their eyes to her.

Xiao Tuobang's face turned red instantly. He was caught off guard that Qiu Xue would appear in front of him so suddenly.

Xiao Tuobang hurriedly stood up and tried to stop Qiu Xue from continuing, but it was too late.

Qiu Xue crossed her arms over her chest and said nonchalantly, "Brother Tuobang, how could you hide this from me? You didn't even tell me such an important thing!"

Her words were full of sarcasm and ridicule, which made Xiao Tuobang feel very embarrassed.

Qiu Xue came here intentionally to cause trouble, but Xiao Tuobang couldn't get angry with her in public.

Xiao Tuobang pulled Qiu Xue's arm and begged in a low voice, "Miss Qiu, please stop making trouble. Can we talk about it when we get back?"

Qiu Xue did not give up, instead she became more and more proud.

She looked at Xiao Tuobang provocatively, a sneer on her lips: "What? Are you afraid that others will know your secret? Or are you afraid to admit that you like me?"

Her words caused a lot of discussion among people around her, and some people began to speculate about their relationship.

Xiao Tuobang's face became increasingly ugly, and he felt that his dignity had been seriously hurt.

But faced with Qiu Xue's endless entanglement, he didn't know what to do.

Qiu Xue spoke again, and said in a soft voice: "Brother Tuobang, look how beautiful the girl is. She is a perfect match for you. But don't forget, I am the one you love the most." After saying that, she deliberately cast a coquettish glance at Xiao Tuobang, her eyes full of teasing and confidence.

Xiao Tuobang secretly groaned in his heart, knowing that he had fallen into Qiu Xue's hands today.

He shook his head helplessly, a bitter smile on his face.

At this moment, a tall young man walked slowly towards the girl he was dating with light and steady steps.

He was wearing a snow-white shirt with an exquisite tie at his collar, looking particularly energetic.

A pair of gold-rimmed glasses perched on his tall nose added a touch of elegance.

The girl who had been silent at the side stood up from her seat instantly as if she was under a spell when she saw the person coming.

A happy smile as bright as a spring flower bloomed on her face, and that smile seemed to be able to melt all the coldness in the world.

She quickly reached out and took the man's arm, then turned around and introduced him to Xiao Tuobang with a smile: "Mr. Xiao, please allow me to solemnly introduce you. This handsome man is my boyfriend - Mr. He!"

Seeing this, Xiao Tuobang nodded politely, then stood up and extended his right hand to Mr. He.

Mr. He also responded quickly and shook Xiao Tuobang's hand tightly. The two smiled at each other and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Qiu Xue, who was sitting next to him, widened her eyes, her eyes filled with astonishment and disbelief.

She stared blankly at the scene in front of her, her mouth slightly open, as if she wanted to say something, but her throat seemed to be blocked and no sound came out.

She never imagined that this blind date would end in such a dramatic way.

Mr. He said to Xiao Tuobang with an apologetic look, "Mr. Xiao, I'm so sorry. Miss Li and I suddenly received a call from home and need to rush back to explain this beautiful misunderstanding to both sets of parents. So, I can only leave first. However, I still hope to have the opportunity to see you again in the future!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he gently put his arm around Miss Li's shoulders, and they walked out of the cafe side by side.

Qiu Xue was shocked by the scene before her. It took her a long time to come back to her senses.

She looked at Xiao Tuobang and found that he sat down and continued to enjoy his coffee as if nothing had happened, as if what had just happened had no effect on him at all.

Qiu Xue muttered softly, "Poor Mr. Xiao was actually abandoned by others?" Her voice was very small, as if she was only talking to herself, but every word of this sentence was heard by Xiao Tuobang.

Xiao Tuobang raised his head and looked at Qiu Xue, with a barely perceptible smile in his eyes.

He pretended to be angry and said, "Miss Qiu, why are you sneaking around and following me so stealthily so early in the morning?"

Qiu Xue pursed her lips and immediately retorted, "Who's sneaking around? I just happened to be drinking coffee here too." There was a hint of guilt in her voice, and she didn't dare to look Xiao Tuobang in the eye.

The corners of Xiao Tuobang's mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile.

He knew Qiu Xue was lying, but he had no intention of exposing her.

He sighed softly and said, "That's really a coincidence. But, you seemed very happy when you saw that my blind date failed just now?" There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone, as if he was teasing Qiu Xue.

"How could I?" Qiu Xue hastily denied. "I just feel sorry for you. That girl actually came on a blind date when she already has a boyfriend."

A barely perceptible smile flashed across Xiao Tuobang's eyes. "Maybe this is fate. But it doesn't matter. I believe I will always meet the right person."

Qiu Xue looked at Xiao Tuobang's calm expression and deliberately asked, "Mr. Xiao, aren't you sad at all about the failed blind date?"

Xiao Tuobang raised his head and looked at Qiuxue seriously. He pretended to be confused and asked, "Why should I be sad? Love can't be forced. On the contrary, what I'm more concerned about now is... why are you so concerned about my blind date?"

Qiu Xue was stunned for a moment, her face flushed instantly, "I... I just..." She stammered and couldn't speak.

Xiao Tuobang stood up and slowly approached Qiu Xue, "Are you..." There was a hint of ambiguity in his eyes.

Qiu Xue's heartbeat quickened, and she closed her eyes nervously, waiting for Xiao Tuobang's next move.

Xiao Tuobang looked at Qiu Xue's flushed face. He wanted to tease her. He stood up and said in a commanding tone: "Miss Qiu, I used to treat you to meals, but this time it's your turn to treat me. You will pay for today's meal." As soon as he finished speaking, he strode away.

"Hey, you're such a nagging fool..." Qiu Xue stamped her feet in anger, cursing inwardly, "Why should I pay for your blind date?"

Qiu Xue hurriedly paid the bill and ran towards the parking lot.

She ran to Xiao Tuobang's car panting, and saw that the car was about to start.

She waved her hands desperately to signal him to stop: "Tuobang, please wait a moment! I have something to tell you!"

Xiao Tuobang slowly rolled down the car window, an impatient look on his face: "Qiuxue, what do you want to do now?"

Qiu Xue put on a sly smile and pleaded, "Movie tickets! Give me the movie tickets! I heard that the new movie that was released today has a very good reputation, and I really want to see it. Besides, you probably won't need these two tickets now, wouldn't it be a shame to throw them away?"

Xiao Tuobang threw a movie ticket out of the car and rolled down the window.

The movie ticket somersaulted several times in the air and almost fell to the ground.

Qiu Xue hurriedly caught the movie ticket. She took a closer look at it and found that there was only one ticket.

Qiu Xue immediately banged on the car door again and shouted, "Mr. Xiao, where's the other movie ticket? Please give me that one too. I want to go see this movie with my friend."

Xiao Tuobang didn't bother to pay attention to Qiu Xue's nagging and drove away with a whoosh.

Qiu Xue held up the movie ticket in her hand, looked at the taillights of the receding car, and muttered softly, "Stingy guy." Then she turned around and walked happily towards the cinema.

Qiu Xue came to the cinema and looked at the time. There were still ten minutes before the movie started.

Qiu Xue bought a bag of popcorn, picked out a bottle of Coke and a bunch of snacks.

She held the movie ticket tightly and followed the crowd to check in and enter the dark cinema.

After finding her seat, Qiu Xue sat down.

The movie hadn't started yet, but Qiu Xue couldn't wait to open the snacks and started eating them with relish.

She ate snacks while looking forward to the movie starting.

At this moment, a tall, upright and imposing man slowly walked over.

He walked to the seat next to Qiu Xue and sat down gracefully.

Qiu Xue was obviously a little surprised. She widened her eyes and asked in disbelief, "Mr. Xiao, why are you back again? Didn't you leave?"

The corners of Xiao Tuobang's mouth rose slightly, outlining a faint smile.

There was a hint of teasing in his eyes as he replied, "Well, I just came back to see how a certain stingy person came to see a movie alone."

Qiu Xue glared at him and said, "Who's the stingy one? I'm really grateful for your generosity in giving me the movie tickets." A blush appeared on her face.

Xiao Tuobang looked at Qiu Xue, the smile in his eyes became even more intense, and he said softly: "Then just enjoy the movie."

Qiu Xue bit her lip, nodded, and then turned her gaze to the big screen.

As the movie began, Qiu Xue's mood gradually calmed down. She was immersed in the wonderful plot and forgot about Xiao Tuobang beside her.

Xiao Tuobang sat quietly aside, occasionally stealing a glance at Qiu Xue, with a faint smile always on his lips.

Halfway through the movie, Qiuxue began to feel drowsy. Her head began to droop unconsciously and her eyes slowly closed.

Xiao Tuobang quietly moved so that Qiuxue's head could rest comfortably on his shoulder. He moved very gently, fearing to wake Qiuxue.

After a while, Qiu Xue was awakened by the sound of fighting in the movie. Her head was resting next to Xiao Tuobang.

Qiu Xue felt flustered and quickly sat down, trying to hide her embarrassment.

Qiu Xue pretended nothing had happened and continued watching the movie, but her heart beat faster involuntarily.

"Ms. Qiu, don't you want to watch this movie very much?" Xiao Tuobang asked softly in Qiu Xue's ear.

Qiu Xue's face flushed slightly. She lowered her head and said softly, "I have tried very hard to open my eyes, but this movie is too hypnotic." She felt a little annoyed. Why did she lose her composure in front of Xiao Tuobang?

Qiu Xue glanced at Xiao Tuobang secretly and found that his eyes were looking at her tenderly. Qiu Xue's face suddenly turned red.

Seeing Qiu Xue's embarrassment and discomfort, Xiao Tuobang said softly, "It's okay. If you're sleepy, just take a nap. If you want to watch a movie, I'll accompany you next time."

Qiu Xue felt Xiao Tuobang's care and consideration, and her heart was filled with joy.

After the movie ended, Xiao Tuobang and Qiu Xue walked out of the cinema together.

The night breeze gently brushed their cheeks, bringing a touch of coolness.

They walked side by side, as if time had stopped at this moment.

Qiu Xue touched her stomach and said coquettishly, "Mr. Xiao, I feel hungry."

Xiao Tuobang raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a doting smile, and responded gently: "Then let's quickly find a place nearby to fill our stomachs."

After entering the restaurant, Xiao Tuobang politely ordered a table full of delicious dishes from the waiter.

As soon as the food was served, Qiu Xue couldn't wait to gobble it up.

Although her eating manners were a bit uncouth, she looked particularly cute in Xiao Tuobang's eyes.

Xiao Tuobang looked at Qiu Xue lovingly, his eyes full of love.

After eating and drinking, Xiao Tuobang drove Qiu Xue back to the Qiu family.

Along the way, Qiu Xue always had a smile on her face and seemed to be in a good mood.

Xiao Tuobang couldn't help but turn his head and stare at her beautiful face. He asked cautiously, "Miss Qiu, if my blind date is really successful today, will you feel sad?"

Qiu Xue raised her chin proudly. She looked at Xiao Tuobang provocatively and said in a contemptuous tone, "I'll consider it when a girl likes you!"

Hearing this, Xiao Tuobang's face immediately darkened, and his originally gentle eyes suddenly became extremely cold.

Xiao Tuobang drove in silence, his eyes filled with anger and disappointment.

He didn't understand why Qiu Xue treated him like this. Did she really not care about him?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he stepped harder on the accelerator.

Suddenly, he gripped the steering wheel tightly and stepped on the brakes hard. With a harsh friction sound, the car suddenly stopped on the side of the road.

Xiao Tuobang squeezed out two words from between his teeth with an expressionless face: "Ms. Qiu, please get out of the car!" His voice was so cold that it seemed as if ice chips could fall off.

Qiu Xue was startled by this sudden change. He looked at Xiao Tuobang blankly and asked in confusion, "Mr. Xiao, this place is still far from my home. Why did you leave me on the side of the road?"

Xiao Tuobang looked at her expressionlessly and said calmly, "I have something else to do. You can take a taxi back by yourself."

Qiu Xue got off the car reluctantly.

She had just gotten out of the car when Xiao Tuobang stepped on the accelerator without hesitation and the car quickly drove away from the scene.

Qiu Xue stared blankly at the car that was getting farther and farther away, tears welling up in her eyes.

She didn't know what she had said wrong? Why was Xiao Tuobang suddenly so angry?

Just as Qiu Xue was about to call a taxi to go home, a black sports car stopped beside her.

The car window rolled down, revealing Xiao Tuobang's handsome face.

"Get in the car," his voice was still cold, but his eyes showed a hint of concern, "I was just trying to tease you."

Qiu Xue breathed a sigh of relief and sat in the passenger seat.

Along the way, neither of them spoke and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

A warm feeling gradually rose in Qiuxue's heart. She knew that Xiao Tuobang actually cared about her.
