Chapter 229 Blueprints
That white blouse with a cute frill design at the neck area and a simple office skirt that revealed her figure. Si Fang must have thought that whoever was the boyfriend for this chick must be a lucky bastard.
The door chime rang as someone opened the door and broke Si Fang's attention off of her, only to realise it was just Jin from the outrageous looking Dungeons and Pandas store. Well, he did actually help Lele café to a certain extent. Thanks to his new revamped design of the coupon booklet, it allowed Si Fang to get a record number of customers in October. Yet, his customer base was steadily growing even though barely half a month had passed.
As compared to the ruckus Jin had made previously, Si Fang was actually quite grateful to the new shop owner in the streets. Not to mention, the latest revamp of Jin's store made the entire place even more peaceful, allowing Si Fang to have some peace and quiet as before. "Hi Jin, are you hungry or something? You do not usually come at this timing."
"Ah! Boss Si Fang, no I am looking for a friend so get me a Vanilla Milkshake, it's for my friend...Oh." Jin then realised that Qiu Yue was already sitting inside Lele café and staring at him. "If that's the case, your friend had already ordered a Vanilla Milkshake." Si Fang then noticed the correlation and spoke up.
"Then put it under my tab. I will pay for her later." Jin thanked Si Fang and sat opposite of Qiu Yue. Meanwhile, Qiu Yue was rather surprised by the side conversation between Si Fang and Jin. This was not really the Jin that she remembered. He was more reserved, keeping to himself. Perhaps, Jin worked part-time in here before.
"Evening, Qiu Yue." Jin may not look like it, but he was actually nervous to see his ex-girlfriend, on top of her being even more beautiful than before.
"Here you go Miss, enjoy." Si Fang placed the milkshake on the table and walked off, leaving the two alone.
"Well, I guess thank you for the milkshake Jin. Didn't expect you still remember that I always liked to order this kind of drink." Qiu Yue was blunt as she took a sip and proceeded to open the heavy suitcase that she was carrying around.
"As requested, a few samples of building plans and blueprints from uni days, and one or two unrestricted blueprints from work." Qiu Yue brought it out for Jin to see after he had weirdly requested it from her out of the blue, roughly about a week ago.
"Thank you, they will be useful for research. If you have any more, I will definitely appreciate them." Jin said as he opened one of the blueprint samples and studied it for a while. "Hmm, it really feels like an eternity since I last touched this kind of stuff..." Jin thought to himself and Qiu Yue gazed at Jin's perplexed look. It had been ages since Qiu Yue saw this kind of expression which made her remember why she fell for him.
"Erm...if you do not mind, would you give some expert advice on city building if I literally start from scratch?" Jin asked Qiu Yue and she gave him a rather puzzled look.
"Why are you asking for this? Are you in some construction industry or planning development board? Even so, I doubt that our cities have any place for you to start from scratch...unless you are looking to develop rural areas or looking at undeveloped parts of Africa or the Middle East deserts..." Qiu Yue eyed at Jin suspiciously since his request was indeed a weird one then realised something.
"Or...are you making an indie game of some sort? I remember you said you wanted to try dabbling in programming so that you can strike out on your own too. Aside from that dungeon supplier dream that you had I mean." Qiu Yue remembered how Jin wasted his life on games and on big dreams, without caring about his cultivation or his studies too much. That was one of the major reasons why Qiu Yue decided to leave Jin, because no matter how hard she tried to push him, he did not really want to take the first step, making her frustrated and at some point helpless.
"I...erm would like to continue with that Dungeon Supplier job and also not break the promise we had when we broke up..." Jin could not keep proper eye contact with Qiu Yue because he momentarily did not know how to rephrase his words in his reply to Qiu Yue.
"Well, if you are aiming to be a dungeon supplier, you should do something like the one down the street. I heard that that dungeon supplier store had one of the most exciting and thrilling dungeons. They even have some dungeon instance relating to cards. My friend went there once, and showed me pictures of it." Qiu Yue did not mean to sound demeaning to Jin but she really hoped that Jin would do something about his life.
"So you remember about that promise too." Jin could not help but feel a bit of ache in his heart when he found out that Qiu Yue still remembered their promise.
"I..." Qiu Yue did not deny that she had hoped Jin would buck up after he graduated, find a good job and subsequently come to find her and prove her wrong. That was the promise he made to her as she decided to break up with him. He was after all a good boyfriend, but she felt that he would be a bad husband at that point in time.
That could not be helped, her parents did not really approve of their relationship since Jin was such an underachiever while Qiu Yue was currently on a fast job track to the top in the Ministry of National Development.
"Yes, I hoped that you would keep your promise. I too figured your stubbornness for your dream job and to spur you up, I chose this place so that we could look at that dungeon supplier store for you to have some inspiration. Still, I apologise that I came late. My boss requested a few things that I need to do before I could leave." Qiu Yue was being sincere to Jin and he could feel it.
Jin did not know whether to laugh or to show her the results of his 'hard work' (since it was still considered cheating with the System's powers). "Wait, wait let me get the facts straight. You asked me out here because you want to show me this particular Dungeon Supplier store?"
"Mmhm, I really wanted to try their card or pet dungeon that they have. I did not get the exact details from my friend but it looked really cute. I wonder how my Red Panda will look like! Besides, that store is all about Pandas right? If I do not take a look at it while I am here, it will truly be a shame!" Qiu Yue excitedly spoke about the store and only at the moment, Jin remembered that Qiu Yue was a Red Panda Cultivator.
"How silly of me..." Jin thought to himself and he could not help but sniggered.
"What are you laughing at?" Qiu Yue saw Jin secretly smiling to himself.
"Oh no, it's just that, I cannot help but remember how excited you always get when it comes to dungeons," Jin replied.
"Why of course! If not, why would I be smitten by your big dream of being a dungeon supplier! You provided me with such false hope back then. I could not believe it! Pay me back my youth in that dungeon supplier store!" Qiu Yue grinned as she thought this could be a payback.
"Finish your milkshake, let's go visit that dungeon supplier store and you give me your comments on it." Jin smiled once more as he realised that he was wearing a singlet with a hoodie this time round since he had to change out from his Pandula costume just to see Qiu Yue.
"Maybe I can do some secret investigation about her thoughts on the dungeon." Jin thought to himself as he saw Qiu Yue desperately trying to quickly slurp her milkshake.
