Chapter 46: This Child Has a Good Face, I Like Him!
“Ah?” Caught off guard by the sudden question about her love life, Su Xintong’s face immediately flushed red.
She hurriedly replied, “I… I just turned 18!”
Qin Sisi rolled her eyes. “Like I’m not 18 too?”
Su Xintong said, “I’ve never thought about that kind of thing. My focus is entirely on my studies.”
Hearing this, Qin Sisi chuckled. “You really are so pure.
“In today’s society, competition is so fierce. You come from a small city, and your family background isn’t great. How are you supposed to compete with people from big cities?

“Take academics, for example. The best you can hope for is getting into an average university. But those rich kids? They can pull a few strings and easily get into the same school as you!
“While you’re working hard, trying to get good grades, their job positions are already secured!
“The finish line you’re striving for is just their starting point!”
As her words settled, Su Xintong was momentarily stunned, lost in thought.
Qin Sisi, however, was on a roll.
She grabbed Su Xintong’s phone and continued, “There’s a guy in your class named Chen Ziheng. He’s not bad. My boyfriend’s family does business with his family’s car dealership. One time, when his older brother was negotiating a deal, Chen Ziheng was there too. He’s quite handsome…”
Su Xintong sighed helplessly. “Enough, Sisi. Right now, I only care about the college entrance exams. I’m not even considering dating.”
Her tone was firm.
People grow up in different environments, so naturally, their perspectives differ.
There was no right or wrong.
Su Xintong could understand Qin Sisi.
Growing up in a family like hers, maintaining power and status required strategic marriages.
In a way, she even pitied her.
Because every time Qin Sisi talked about her fiancé, Cao Fan, her demeanor was excessively cautious, almost submissive.
She always seemed afraid of saying the wrong thing, afraid of making a mistake that would upset him.
Su Xintong, on the other hand, felt lucky.
Even though her family was ordinary, her father never forced her into anything she didn’t want.
Qin Sisi smirked. “You should start preparing ahead of time. I’m going to show Chen Ziheng’s picture to your dad. He’s definitely going to approve!”
“Sisi…” Su Xintong was exasperated.
“Oh, by the way,” Qin Sisi suddenly asked, “who was that guy on the phone earlier? The one who made you so mad and doesn’t fit in?”
She was still holding Su Xintong’s phone, which contained a class group photo.
It was a tradition before the college entrance exams.
Su Xintong glanced at the picture, reached out, and pointed to a boy standing at the far edge.
His hair was long, and he looked a little unremarkable at first glance.
But if you looked closely, you’d realize he was actually quite handsome, though a bit scruffy.
He seemed like someone who didn’t care about his appearance.
“What’s his name?” Qin Sisi asked casually.
“Ye Qiu,” Su Xintong replied just as casually.
“That’s a delicate name,” Qin Sisi chuckled. “He’s not bad-looking either. But these days, good looks mean nothing. Anyone can dress up or get plastic surgery! Now look at Chen Ziheng. He’s not only handsome but also comes from a wealthy family that owns a car dealership. Rich, influential, and he’s interested in you! If I weren’t already engaged, I’d be competing with you for him!”
“Then go ahead and take him,” Su Xintong replied indifferently.
She had no feelings for Chen Ziheng.
In fact, she had no feelings for any guy.
She had never thought about dating. Her only goal was to study hard.
To achieve something in life. To land a good job. To buy a big house for her father. To thank him for raising her.
She was from a single-parent family.
Her father had worked tirelessly to bring her up.
Just then, a middle-aged man’s voice came from outside the room., “Xintong…”
Su Xintong snapped out of her thoughts.
She quickly said, “My dad’s home!”
Qin Sisi put down the phone, surprised. “So early today?”
Normally, Su Xintong’s father drove his taxi until late at night before coming home.
The two girls stepped out of the bedroom and saw a middle-aged man, with graying hair but a sturdy build, carrying bags of groceries and smiling warmly as he walked in.
It was Su Xintong’s father, Su Huarui. He was a taxi driver by profession.
“Sisi’s here too?” Su Huarui set down the bags and greeted her.
Qin Sisi and Su Xintong had been online friends for years before finally meeting in person and becoming best friends.
Since Qin Sisi was outgoing, she often visited Anlong City to hang out with Su Xintong.
Sometimes, she even stayed over. They were just young girls.
Su Huarui was happy his daughter had a close friend.
“Hello, Uncle Su!” Qin Sisi greeted politely.
She might have a sharp tongue behind people’s backs, but in front of them, she always behaved appropriately.
“Wow, Dad! What’s the occasion? You bought so much food!” Su Xintong peeked into the bags.
Meat, vegetables, seafood and even alcohol!
Her father never bought this much at once!
Su Huarui had originally planned to tell her about getting his money back from the dealership, but he didn’t want her to worry.
So he just smiled and said, “I made some good money! Can’t I treat myself a little? We’re having hotpot tonight!”
“Yay! I love hotpot!” Su Xintong cheered.
—
At the dinner table, the hotpot bubbled away.
Plates of meat, vegetables, and seafood were neatly arranged.
The three of them ate happily.
Su Huarui even let his daughter have a small sip of alcohol.
Midway through the meal Qin Sisi suddenly spoke up. “Uncle Su, there’s a boy who likes Xintong. He asked me to set them up. You wouldn’t object, would you?”
Su Huarui had always been lenient with his daughter.
As long as it wasn’t illegal or morally wrong, he rarely interfered.
Hearing this He just chuckled. “As long as Xintong likes him, it’s fine. But she should focus on her exams first. After the college entrance exams, she can bring him home if she wants.”
Su Xintong’s face turned bright red. “Dad! Don’t listen to Sisi’s nonsense!”
Qin Sisi, however, pulled out her phone and showed a picture of the class group. “I’m not making it up! Look, Uncle Su, this tall guy!”
“Oh?” Su Huarui glanced at the photo.
But immediately, his brows furrowed.
Because the boy Qin Sisi pointed at looked way too similar to that arrogant young master from the car dealership.
Even though he knew they weren’t the same person Just looking at him felt off-putting.
So he simply said, “This one… doesn’t have a good face.”
“Huh?” Qin Sisi was dumbfounded.
What the heck?
Face-reading?!
Su Xintong, meanwhile, burst into laughter.
She remembered how Qin Sisi confidently claimed her dad would love Chen Ziheng only to be proven completely wrong.
Of course, she figured her father just didn’t want her dating so soon, so he made up an excuse.
Yes! That had to be it!
But then…
“Wait…” Su Huarui’s eyes scanned the photo again.
And suddenly, his eyes lit up.
He pointed at another boy and said, “This one! Yes, this kid! He’s got a good face! I like him!”
“Huh?!” Now, it was Su Xintong’s turn to be completely stunned.
