The Sweetness of the Seventies-Chapter 977 - 946: Acceptance, Honesty with Each Other

It was very authentic, and the pronunciation was extremely standard.

"Nice to meet you," Lydia said when she saw Tang Qian could speak English. She was usually happy, "Where are you from? Why do you like Angela? How long are you going to stay in the United States?"

As Qi Zhengmin’s best friend, Lydia eagerly asked a lot of questions.

Tang Qian was startled; he had just shown off and now people thought he could speak English.

Qi Zhengmin laughed, "He only knows basic English. You asked so many questions all at once, he doesn’t know how to answer."

As soon as Lydia heard that Tang Qian couldn’t speak English, her interest waned. She said, "Angela, let’s go dance together, dance like crazy."

Qi Zhengmin smiled and said, "Alright then, Tang Qian, we’re going to dance first. You can sit down for a while and have a drink."

Tang Qian nodded. Before he could say anything, he saw Qi Zhengmin being pulled onto the dance floor by the girl named Lydia to dance.

In the dance floor, the lights were colorful and dazzling to the eyes.

Tang Qian wasn’t comfortable in this environment, and it was somewhat difficult for him to find Qi Zhengmin in the dance floor amidst the crowd.

Well, might as well have a drink to steady my nerves.

Tang Qian ordered a glass of whiskey and slowly savored it. Occasionally, he could see Qi Zhengmin and her friends in the dance floor moving their bodies non-stop with the music.

This must be a foreign dance.

Although the moves were somewhat exaggerated, they were also lively and enticing.

About twenty minutes later, Qi Zhengmin came back with Lydia while the others continued dancing.

"Tang, you should come and dance too, it’s really comfortable," Lydia said with a smile. "If you don’t know how, I can teach you. Angela, translate for us."

"Sure!" Qi Zhengmin smiled, "Tang Qian, Lydia wants to teach you to dance. Do you want to learn?"

Tang Qian smiled, "If you teach me, then I’ll learn."

"Ah?" Qi Zhengmin was taken aback and then shrugged, "Then maybe you shouldn’t learn, I’m already tired."

"Then I won’t learn," Tang Qian said smilingly. "By the way, since you’ve danced, when will you leave? I can treat you to a meal."

"A meal?" Qi Zhengmin thought about it, Tang Qian really wasn’t suited for this place and she didn’t want to make him uncomfortable any longer, "Alright, I’ll go call them, and we can all go have a meal together."

Lydia smiled and said, "What are you guys talking about?"

"Nothing much, just that Tang wants to treat everyone to a meal," Qi Zhengmin said with a smile. "Would you and Jeffrey and the others like to go?"

Lydia smiled and said, "Although I’d really like to spend time with you, I saw in Tang’s eyes his eager desire to pursue you, so I won’t go, and I won’t let them go either. You have a common language, and I see happiness in your eyes, so please have a good romance and enjoy the happiness of love."

Hearing Lydia’s words, Qi Zhengmin was somewhat stunned, then smiled and said, "Our Lydia is always so smart, always thinking about others. Alright, I’ll pay the bill, you guys continue, I’ll leave now, and I’ll treat you to a meal another day."

"Okay," Lydia said smiling; she hoped her good friend would move on from her previous failed relationship.

Starting a new relationship is the best way to forget the former one.

Although Tang Qian didn’t fully understand what Lydia said, he felt that Qi Zhengmin was very touched.

Thus Tang Qian’s impression of Lydia improved somewhat.

Qi Zhengmin went to the bar to pay, then came over to Tang Qian, "Let’s go."

"It’s rare to come out, why not have a good time?" Tang Qian asked. "Also, did they not want to accept my invitation?"

Qi Zhengmin smiled, "No, it’s not that. They just didn’t want to disturb us, that’s all." frёewebηovel.cѳm

Tang Qian was taken aback, then smiled, "Well, maybe I’m not familiar enough with them to invite them to a meal. Alright, shall we leave now?"

"Yes," Qi Zhengmin smiled and took Tang Qian’s hand as they left the bar.

Being led by Qi Zhengmin’s small hand, Tang Qian was somewhat surprised but mostly delighted.

Did this mean that Qi Zhengmin had accepted him?

Once outside, Qi Zhengmin asked, "Where shall we go now?"

Seeing that the sky wasn’t dark yet and it was a bit early for dinner, Tang Qian said, "I’d like to learn English. Could you take me to buy some learning materials?"

"Ah?" Qi Zhengmin was taken aback, "You just come to the United States once, and you want to learn English?"

Tang Qian nodded, "I want to know what you and your friends are saying, rather than relying solely on your translation. Since this is a part of your life, I need to learn it too. Even if I don’t learn now, I will need to in the future. So I might as well start early."

"Is it for me?" Qi Zhengmin smiled. She felt Tang Qian was trying to get closer to her, step by step, entering her life.

"Yes," Tang Qian laughed, "and for myself."

"Okay, I’ll take you," Qi Zhengmin laughed. The two held hands as they made their way to the bookstore.

There were no specific books for learning English, but there were some tapes and books for young children.

Qi Zhengmin bought Tang Qian materials for elementary school students; once he had mastered those, they would buy more.

There were also some simple novels.

With quite a few items purchased, the two delivered them to the hotel first before heading out to eat.

In Yanjing, Tang Qian was the host. But abroad, it was Qi Zhengmin’s turn to be the host and treat Tang Qian.

After spending time together, the two had gradually developed a tacit understanding.

That evening, they strolled hand in hand through the streets.

"It’s getting late; I should go back," Qi Zhengmin laughed, "I had a great time today."

"I had a great time too, seeing another side of you," Tang Qian laughed, "so genuine!"

"Do you still like it?" Qi Zhengmin tilted her head to look at Tang Qian and asked with a smile.

"I do." Tang Qian chuckled softly and embraced Qi Zhengmin gently, "Promise me you’ll be my girlfriend, alright?"

Tang Qian had asked that question several times before but had been rejected by Qi Zhengmin each time.

This time, however, Qi Zhengmin was not planning to refuse.

"Alright," Qi Zhengmin whispered, "I have just one condition: if you ever stop feeling for me or start disliking me, please tell me. I will choose to leave. Likewise, if I stop liking you or feel we are not a good match, I will tell you truthfully. It might make the other person sad, but at least we’d be honest."

Tang Qian’s embrace tightened around Qi Zhengmin, and he murmured into her ear, "Alright, we’ll be honest."

He hoped they could stay in love forever.

At that moment, Tang Qian thought of Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian.

Their love overcame all obstacles; they deeply loved each other and were even willing to sacrifice everything for one another.

Tang Qian longed for that kind of love as well.

"Mm," Qi Zhengmin laughed, "Alright, you go inside. The bodyguard will take me back."

"Okay," Tang Qian smiled, "Be careful on the way, and be sure to call me when you get home."

"Mm!" Qi Zhengmin nodded.
