Chapter 71 Boyfriend
Two hours later, Lin Tian, with a bag on his back, arrived at the Jinhua Airport hall. As soon as he entered the hall, Lin Tian looked around, unsure of what to choose.
"Lin Tian, over here!" Looking around, Lin Tian suddenly heard a pleasant voice coming from the front.
Lin Tian turned his head and saw Bu Mengting, wearing denim shorts, standing in the crowd, waving at him.
Lin Tian smiled slightly and walked over.
Upon seeing Lin Tian, Bu Mengting seemed a bit excited, quickly running over to him.
As she reached Lin Tian, Bu Mengting jumped up, hurling herself directly at Lin Tian's body.
"Uh..." Lin Tian was taken aback as he caught Bu Mengting, somewhat surprised, he said, "Girl, didn't you say you didn't miss me? Why the enthusiasm?"
"Hmph!" Bu Mengting hugged Lin Tian tightly and snorted coldly without saying a word.
Lin Tian, somewhat helpless, patted Bu Mengting's back and looked around at the surrounding crowd with a wry smile, "If you keep hugging me like this, we're going to become animals in a zoo."
Because of Bu Mengting's enthusiasm, the people around were casting curious glances.
Hearing Lin Tian's words, Bu Mengting quickly raised her head and looked around, only to discover that many people were looking at them.
With so many onlookers, Bu Mengting felt a bit shy and stuck out her tongue, her cheeks blushing slightly.
Lin Tian smiled faintly, reached out to take Bu Mengting's soft little hand, and said with a smile, "Let's go."
"Mm!" Bu Mengting nodded gently and held Lin Tian's hand tighter.
The two left the airport and immediately hailed a taxi.
"Driver, to Fenghuang Road!" Lin Tian said as soon as they got into the car.
Before coming to Jinhua, Lin Tian had already planned to find a hotel to stay in near Bu Mengting's home, which would make it more convenient for them to meet.
And Bu Mengting's home was on Fenghuang Road.
Upon reaching Fenghuang Road and searching for a while, Lin Tian eventually settled into a Three Stars hotel.
"Heh, I missed you, after all!" Lin Tian chuckled, then began to take off his backpack and went into the bathroom to wash his face.
While watching Lin Tian, Bu Mengting was about to say something when she felt a vibration in her pocket.
Bu Mengting took out her phone and saw it was ringing.
After a glance at the phone screen, Bu Mengting paused and seemed to think of something. She hesitated but eventually decided to answer the call.
"Hello? Is that you, Ningning? Yeah? I know, but I'm a bit tied up today, how about another day? I really have something on today. Okay, good, let's touch base later! So sorry."
As Lin Tian wiped his face with a towel, he curiously watched Bu Mengting having the phone conversation.
When Bu Mengting finished the call, Lin Tian paused and asked with curiosity, "Your friend?"
"Mm!" Bu Mengting nodded lightly and explained, "I had actually made plans with my friend to go ice skating this afternoon, but I forgot to inform him when you came."
"Ice skating, huh..." Lin Tian thought for a moment as he continued to dry his hands with the towel and nodded, "Then let's go. I'll come too; it wouldn't be nice to break a promise. It would be fun for me too."
"If you don't want to go, it's okay, no worries." Bu Mengting said, looking up at Lin Tian.
"It's fine!" Lin Tian replied with a light smile, casually hanging the towel on the wall and continued, "I'd like to have some fun as well; I've never tried it before. Do you know how to ice skate?"
"I know a little." Hearing Lin Tian say that, Bu Mengting seemed a bit happy, "Actually, I kind of wanted to go skating too, just worried you wouldn't be happy about it."
Noticing the joy in Bu Mengting's eyes, Lin Tian chuckled lightly, walked up to her, and playfully tickled her nose, "Go ahead and make the call."
Pouting, Bu Mengting slapped Lin Tian's hand away and rolled her eyes at him, then she began to dial, "Hello, Ningning? Are you free this afternoon? Still up for skating? Yeah, I'm okay now, let's go together. Alright. Oh, and I have a friend who'll be joining us. Okay, we'll touch base soon."
After Bu Mengting hung up the call, Lin Tian stood behind her and wrapped his arms gently around her waist, resting his head on her shoulder and took a deep breath.
As he inhaled, a faint fragrance enveloped him. Lin Tian whispered into Bu Mengting's glistening earlobe, with his breath warm against it, "Beautiful, now that you're done with the call, shouldn't we also have a chat?"
"No, that tickles!" Bu Mengting slightly twisted her waist awkwardly, her pretty face blushing a bit.
With Lin Tian's breath on her ear, Bu Mengting felt extremely ticklish.
After leaving the hotel, they took a cab.
Ten minutes later, they arrived at the entrance of People's Park.
As soon as they got out of the car, Bu Mengting curiously looked around. However, she was puzzled to find that she didn't see her friends.
Unable to find the person she was waiting for, Bu Mengting took out her phone with some confusion and dialed a number: "Hello, we're here, where are you?"
"Oh? You've arrived? I'll be right there," came a voice from the phone.
Meanwhile, Lin Tian was curiously looking around.
"Mengting!" After a short wait, suddenly a voice came from inside the park.
Immediately, a figure quickly ran out.
Hearing this voice, Lin Tian was startled and turned his head to look with some surprise.
A guy?
Was it actually a guy?
Lin Tian felt extremely astonished.
"Mengting!" At that moment, the boy had already run over quickly and stood in front of Bu Mengting with a brilliant smile on his face.
But then he also noticed Lin Tian next to Bu Mengting. A look of surprise appeared on his face as he looked at Bu Mengting with some confusion, and then at Lin Tian,
Mengting: "Mengting, who is this...?"
Bu Mengting gave Lin Tian a glance, her face showing a shy smile as she whispered, "This is my boyfriend, Lin Tian."
"Boyfriend?" The boy's mouth dropped open in astonishment.
He looked Lin Tian up and down with some surprise. His gaze carried a hint of scrutiny.
Soon after, a hint of disdain appeared in his eyes.
Lin Tian clearly saw the disdain in his eyes.
Even though he was somewhat annoyed by the other's contempt, Lin Tian had to admit the man really looked better than he did.
An 1.8-meter-tall stature, a well-proportioned body, handsome features, a sunny smile, a clean aura. This kind of person would attract attention anywhere.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
And Lin Tian? At 1.7 meters tall, he wasn't particularly handsome, the kind you'd lose in a crowd.
In terms of both appearance and aura, the other man completely overshadowed Lin Tian.
About this, Lin Tian admitted it. Despite the discontent with the other's disdain, Lin Tian still had to concede that this was a sunny and handsome young man.
He was many people's ideal Prince Charming.
If it had been before, seeing someone like that competing with him for a girl, Lin Tian would have felt his confidence falter and a sense of inferiority.
But now...
Lin Tian smiled faintly, reached out to hold Bu Mengting's soft hand, and with a faint smile on his face, he looked at the other man, "So you are Mengting's friend? She calls you Xiao Ning, I thought you were a girl!"
"Actually, not really, his name is An Ningning. It sounds like a girl's name, but he's actually a boy!" Bu Mengting explained with a giggly smile, the somewhat dazed girl not noticing the looks exchanged by the two men beside her.
Hearing his name mentioned, An Ningning also showed a hint of resignation in his eyes. He hated it when people mentioned his name, a name that had led to so many misunderstandings.
Despite his annoyance, An Ningning still extended his hand to Lin Tian with gentlemanly manners: "Hello, my name is An Ningning."
Seeing the hand extended before him, Lin Tian paused, and after a moment, he extended his own hand as well: "Nice to meet you, I'm Lin Tian."
While shaking hands, Lin Tian couldn't help but rant in his mind: "What's with the handshake, making it all formal."
An Ningning noticed Lin Tian's surprised expression and immediately labeled him as a 'country bumpkin'.
Seeing someone whose image and demeanor were inferior to his own, An Ningning felt no pressure. He was confident he could snatch Bu Mengting away from Lin Tian.
"Let's go! Let's go ice skating!" Bu Mengting didn't think too much about it and just cheerfully proposed.
"Yeah, sure, let's go ice skating."
With that, the three of them headed toward the ice rink. The rink wasn't far from People's Park; it was just a ten-minute walk away.
