Chapter 80: The City
One more
Under Qiao Yi's "unilateral insistence", Qiao Xinwan was finally "forced" to go home.
In this case, the so-called "celebration dinner" can only end up hanging up. After a hurried farewell, Ruan Wan and Qi also announced their resignation and left. After that, the two had a "celebratory meal" alone.
Funny and proclaiming.
Ruan Wan didn't "blackmail" him, but the latter insisted on it, so she didn't object, just when Qi Xuan successfully passed the test and couldn't wait to show off. As everyone knows, Qi Xuan's heart actually has the idea of "making offerings", cough cough, if the family invites the Buddha, don't you have to often incense to be effective!
As for Yan Mingxiu and Zhuang Luo......
They also had a separate meal afterwards.
"What a beautiful restaurant...... Zhuang Luo glanced left and right, then looked down at the glittering plates and glittering tableware in front of him, and whispered, "It's the first time I've come to this kind of place, Brother Yan, thank you." β
Yan Mingxiu nodded casually.
Zhuang Luo pursed his lips and said, "It's the first time someone has celebrated for me......
"Don't play this little trick in front of me." Yan Mingxiu said with an impatient expression, "The reason why I invited you here is to reward you for what you did today. As for your own business, I am not interested and have nothing to do with me. β
Zhuang Luo clenched the tablecloth with both hands, she knew very well what the other party was saying, in fact, it was from the day she was bought by him that she and Qiao were willing to change from "ordinary friends" to "good friends". What she has to do is very simple, beat the side drum more and create more opportunities for Qiao to be alone with the person in front of her, and she can get many things that she dreamed of but couldn't get before.
Eventually, she was content with the deal, but gradually, she began to be dissatisfied.
She thought to herself how much better it would be if these things didn't need to be exchanged, but were truly theirs.
Jealousy can overwhelm people's minds, and in this dizzying environment, she finally said what she wanted to say: "What is so good about Joe's wish?" I don't think I'm worse than her! β
After saying that, she immediately regretted it.
I want to make up for it, but I don't know how to make up for it.
The next second, she saw the young man on the other side turn his gaze to herselfβa look that froze physically and mentally, full of contempt, as if she were the dirtiest and most humble ant, but she was jumping on her own.
"What's so good about her, you're no worse than her?" Yan Mingxiu playfully repeated her words and sneered, "As long as she wants, this place can become hers immediately." And you, even if you sell your body, may not be able to achieve this desire. I'm really curious, what is it that gives you such confidence? β
His words were too ugly and too realistic, Zhuang Luo's face suddenly turned red, she almost wanted to run away, but her legs were weak and she couldn't stand up at all.
"This is the last time." Yan Mingxiu was not interested in spending too much energy on a small role, he raised his hand and made a gesture, and said to the waiter who stepped forward, "Her expenses today are all recorded in my account." β
With that, he stood up and turned away without looking back, his disgust evident.
Zhuang Luo clenched his fists, his heart was both afraid and angry, and he didn't know what to do for a while, just at this moment......
"Miss, what do you need?"
Zhuang Luo looked at the menu in front of him, pursed the corners of his lips, casually turned it to a page, and said as if retaliating: "I want this page!" β
"But ......"
"Didn't he say that today's consumption is all in his account?!" Zhuang Luo turned his head and shouted at the waiter, "If you want to go up, you can go up, what are you doing with so much nonsense?!" β
Many of the other guests turned their heads to look this way.
ββ¦β¦ Okay, sorry, please wait. β
The waiter left, smiling, but thinking in his heart, "Where did the neurosis come from?" Actually let more than forty drinks in one go, this is the rhythm of drinking to death? βγ Tsk, sure enough, he didn't understand.
Yan Mingxiu listened to the voice coming from behind him, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes, but he was thinking about the words and deeds of the girl named Ruan Wan today. For some reason, he always felt as if she had done something, a subtle feeling that was hard to describe in words. If I had to describe it in words, it would probably be -- he looked at her very unpleasantly.
From the first meeting.
However, he has never been very interested in people with whom he has no interests. Since he knew that she was only a "distant relative" of the Qiao family, he hadn't paid much attention to her. However, judging from today's situation, she has an extraordinary influence on Joe's wishes.
Zhuang Luo is stupid and easy to use, but it doesn't play a big role; But if it is replaced by her, the effect must be outstanding.
Yan Mingxiu was thoughtful.
And what he didn't know was that after a while, Ruan Wan also had a conversation with Qiao Yi about him.
Qiao Yi specially called Ruan Wan to thank him, his sister couldn't hide it, and after he went back, he knew what happened to her today as soon as he asked a little. It's not that he wants to control his sister's life and restrict her interactions with others, he just thinks that the little girl won't be untargeted, she probably found something, so she did something like today.
Sure enough-
"There's something I'm just guessing about, but I think I need to talk to you."
When Qiao Yi heard this, he replied, "I'll send you back, and we'll talk on the way." β
Ruan Wan, who was standing on the side of the road waiting for the bus: "...... No need. "She's only a forty-minute bus ride, and she doesn't know how long it will take to wait for the bus to come...... Forehead! She blinked and saw a car stop across the road, waving to her in an open window.
β¦β¦ Well, she shouldn't have thought he'd come here to talk about it.
However, if you have a car, you don't sit unless you are stupid!
So she didn't hesitate to get into the car.
Although Qiao's wish was not there, Ruan Wan was still very naturally ready to open the rear door.
"Sit here." Qiao Yi patted the passenger seat, "It's more convenient to speak." β
Ruan Wan glanced at him suspiciously: "I'll make sure first, your driving skills are not bad, right?" β
"......" she specifically asked what this is for? Although Qiao Yi was full of doubts, he still replied very sincerely, "I guarantee that you can arrive at the school safely." β
"That's good." Ruan Wan let go of the rear door and got into the driver's seat.
"Why do you ask?" Qiao Yi said that he was still very confused.
Ruan Wan replied lightly: "It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly remembered that the co-pilot is the most dangerous seat." If there is a car accident, the driver will subconsciously turn the steering wheel to avoid direct impact, and the co-pilot is a proper "back-ermother". Of course, she didn't really doubt Qiao Yi's driving skills, she was just joking. But apparently, it was the wrong choice to joke with this guy who was too serious - because he still hadn't reacted a bit.
Tsk, it's boring.
Qiao Yi: "? He was puzzled for a few seconds before he reacted, and his face was almost black to the bottom of the pot - sure enough, the little girl was sometimes real, angry, and human.
But what could he do?
You can't beat or scold.
Even if he said a little bit harshly, his own sister could tear him apart.
Qiao Yi, who realized this, was simply sad.
For the sake of his depressed heart, he decided to take the initiative to change the topic: "What do you want to say to me on the phone just now?" β
Ruan Wan was not polite to him, and asked directly: "Do you know a girl named Zhuang Luo?" β
"Wishful tablemates?" Qiao Yi asked rhetorically, nodded and said, "I know her." While speaking, he stopped the car at a red light, took out his mobile phone and flipped through it a few times, found a photo and handed it to Ruan Wan, "It's her, right?" β
Then he saw only that the little girl was looking at him with a very delicate gaze.
Well, if you have to parse this gaze into words, it is probably - Ma Ma, there is a pure, natural, natural, perverted!
Ruan Wan was a little broken: Is Qiao Yi actually good at this? I don't see it at all!
Maybe it's because this pot is too big, Qiao Yi, who was just slandered by Ruan Wan's belly as "dumbfounded", immediately reacted, he was speechless and helpless, and flatly denied it: "I know roughly the people who have a better relationship with my wishes." As he spoke, he stuffed his phone into Ruan Wan's hand and asked her to look at the rest of the photos, "Keep this because it is more convenient for some special moments." "Like now.
The green light came, and he drove again.
Ruan Wan flipped through the photos on her phone, and had to admit that this guy is really a pervert, in terms of sister control.
Tsk, stay away from him in the future.
Thinking that his whitewashing had been successful, Joe Pervert Yi breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, "What's wrong with her?" β
"I think she's a bit of a cat with a lot of color."
Qiao Yi was speechless as soon as he heard the word "many colors", thanks to his wishes, he now thought that Yan Mingxiu was also "many colors", and he almost couldn't remember his real name. It's going to be a day when this matter is exposed in public, what a pit. However, after hearing the second half of the sentence, his face became stern. After investigation, he knew Yan Mingxiu's habits very well, so he didn't think that the so-called "greasy" meant any emotional entanglements between them, but that he was referring to something else.
Thinking about it again, if there is any intersection between Zhuang Luo and Yan Mingxiu, it is undoubtedly ......
"Wish?"
"Yes." Ruan Wan nodded, "However, it's just my guess, and there is no evidence." Just listen to it. She doesn't take any responsibility for what she says at the moment, and she doesn't have much interest in why the truth is.
"You say." Qiao Yi nodded, indicating that he would listen carefully.
"Looking at Zhuang Luo's dress, you can know that she has an average family background, but she is such a girl who wears a valuable precious metal ring on her finger." Ruan Wan said in a light tone, "The new model just came out this month." She doesn't look like a person who can save money, and it's hard for me to imagine that her friend would give her such a thing with a market price of more than 10,000 yuan. Of course, it can also be said that it is given by family members or relatives, but to be honest, the elders rarely give rings to the younger generations, and the size is not accurate. β
"But to be honest, it's undoubtedly too far-fetched to take this as a reason." Ruan Wan continued, "It's just that the timing of her speech several times is too coincidental, and every time she helps Yan Mingxiu openly and secretly, and even deliberately stumbles on her wish in the name of celebration at noon. There are only two reasons why a girl would help a man like this, either for true love or for profit. β
What she didn't say was that these reasons were all made up, and there was only one real reason from beginning to end - her intuition.
Because I have done something similar, I feel very sharp when facing this kind of thing.
"Take 10,000 steps back," Ruan Wan looked down at her fingers and continued, "Even if what I said is nothing, I don't think Zhuang Luo is a good friend." β
"Of course, I have said it before, this is my personal opinion, whether you listen to it or not, believe it or not."
Two more
A smile overflowed at the corner of Qiao Yi's mouth, thinking that the little girl was really awkward sometimes, obviously caring about her wishes, but she still said such hard-mouthed words.
To be honest, she can actually not say this kind of thing at all, or just vaguely hint at it, because it is thankless.
Zhuang Luo is a friend of her heart, but she said that Zhuang Luo is not good, this kind of thing that obviously offends people, if there is not a good reason, according to the character of the little girl, she will not do it.
And there was only one reason for that - she was worried that her wish would be disadvantaged.
So, as an older brother, all he can do is ......
"Thank you." Qiao Yi thanked him solemnly, "I'll check it out." β
It's not her fault that her wish is pure, but if someone wants to take advantage of this simplicity, then it's a mistake - Qiao Yi, who has this kind of thought, in a sense, is not wronged by Ruan Wan's evaluation as a "perverted level sister control".
The topic has come to an end here, but there is still a way to go.
"How was your life at school? Still shun lΓ¬? β
"It's good." Ruan Wan looked out the window and replied, "The roommates are all very good, and the class is quite easy." Although he unfortunately encountered a snake spirit disease, it finally made him retreat - she would not tell Qiao Yi if she died for this kind of thing, and she would definitely be laughed at!
"That's good." Qiao Yi thought for a while, and then asked, "What about Ziyu?" How is he doing? β
As soon as he finished speaking, Ruan Wan turned her head, looked at him with a very strange gaze, and asked, "Why do you ask me about him?" β
"You're not alumni?"
ββ¦β¦ There are more people in the same school as me. "I've met him a few times, but I barely spoke. I don't know about him, but it seems that many people are afraid of him. "No, it's not just fear, it's just the rhythm of "where Shen Ziyu passes by, there is no grass".
"......" Qiao Yi really didn't know what to say, in fact, he knew a little bit about this matter, but it was not comprehensive, so it was difficult to explain anything.
After that, the two talked about some small things one after another until they reached their destination.
Qiao Yi did not send Ruan Wan to the main gate of the school, but stopped at a place that was still some way away from the school gate.
Ruan Wan was quite satisfied with his "acquaintance" and thanked him before getting out of the car.
When I returned to the dormitory, the other three were there.
Xia Pujia brought a lot of food from home as always, enough for the three people in the bedroom to eat.
"By the way, do you have anything to do tomorrow?" Miss Qian asked suddenly.
"Tomorrow? I'm fine. Mo Bei replied very dryly.
Xia Pujia also shook her head.
Ruan Wan thought for a moment and replied, "Not before five o'clock in the afternoon." "As for after five, ahem, they should understand!
Qian Qian glanced at her: "The guy who is heavy on color and light on friends." Then he said, "Let's have lunch together." I came running over out of the blue, saying that I was going to have dinner with my friend. β
"Hair small?" Mo Bei asked rhetorically, "Male?" As she spoke, she looked at Xia Pujia.
"Don't worry, woman." Miss Qian waved her hand, "If it were a man, I wouldn't have taken you there, what if it scared our little Pujia." She grabbed the Xia Mei paper that had been rubbing to Mo Bei's side since the beginning and rubbed her head, "That guy is a local tyrant, although you eat a big family, don't be polite to me." β
Three others: "......"
How so?
I always feel that Miss Qian is completely unconvincing when she says that others are local tyrants!
The matter was settled.
The next morning, after several sisters picked up their papers, they went to the agreed place in a group. Facts have proved that Miss Qian really did what she said, and when she asked her to book a place to eat, she really booked a big hotel.
ββ¦β¦ Is that really okay? Even if Mo Bei has such a straightforward temperament, she will inevitably hesitate when she stands at the door, she is not afraid, but ...... I was afraid that Miss Qian's hair would grab her and beat her.
"Ahh Miss Qian waved her hand, "If I choose a worse place, she still thinks I look down on her!" β
Three others: "......"
What's wrong with this!
It can be seen from this that it is completely true that things gather like people and divide people in groups - Miss Qian always holds a small heart at any time, and she is not unhappy when she is small, and at the same time, she ...... It's also trapping people.
For example......
"What? Can't you come? When Miss Qian received the call, she was a little bad.
Ruan Wan and the other three people sitting in the private room all showed surprised expressions when they heard this, and they couldn't help but listen. After some conversation, Qian Qian hung up the phone and said helplessly: "She was arrested by her father before she got on the plane." She saw that one of her previous shutdowns was on a plane, but she didn't expect it...... was actually "forced" to shut down, and now I found an opportunity to call, and this opportunity is still ......
"She's on a blind date."
"Blind date?" Ruan Wan asked in surprise.
"That's right, blind date." Qian Qian showed a helpless expression, "She is three years older than me, and she is about to graduate from college now, and she is the only daughter in the family." Her father especially hopes that she can recruit a capable son-in-law to inherit the family business, and let people introduce her to a blind date every day. She really couldn't stand it this time and planned to come over to me to relax, but she didn't think about it......"
Mo Bei subconsciously connected: "Die before leaving the school." β
Xia Pujia whispered: "The hero is full of tears. β
Ruan Wan: "......"
Money money black line: "You two are enough!" "Don't show tacit understanding in this kind of thing, so that she doesn't know whether to wax a little or laugh.
Although Miss Qian's hair is small, she can't come, but the dishes are ordered, and they obviously can't "escape". So I finally ate it, but the guest changed from a small classmate to a money girl. She didn't have a problem with thatβalthough she often ate in the dining hall with the other three of them in her dormitory, but the house was there. However, the other three were a little embarrassed, and decided to make up for it in the other party.
It's not that the relationship is bad, but it's that friends have a sense of balance. It's like a seesaw, where one side "weighs" too much, and the end result is that you can't play anymore.
After dinner, the four of them teamed up and went back to school, and then it was "each going back to his own house to find his own mother".
β¦β¦ Well, only Ruan Wan, who is "undisciplined" (Miss Qian's words), abandoned the army and ran to find Du Jinnian. For the resentment of Erqian, she has only one thought - the mood of a single dog, she really doesn't understand! =w=
Time passes.
It's the end of October in the blink of an eye, and it really seems like it's just overnight, and everyone is wearing their coats.
For the vast majority of people, now is the time when the weather is best and the temperature is the most suitable. It's a pity that the spring and autumn days in City A are too short, but it is precisely because of this that they are precious.
Ruan Wan also likes spring and autumn days, but the weather here is still much drier than her hometown of Zeshui Town.
Fortunately, when people are in a good mood, everything is beautiful.
As for why you're in a good mood......
Ahem, does it matter if the relationship with someone is getting better?
With the deepening of the relationship, the two who were a little restrained because they had just met in reality finally completely dissolved the estrangement and became really familiar. There really couldn't be anything better for her, so it's normal to be in a good mood.
Besides.
Zhuang Luo's incident, Qiao Yi quickly fed back the results, although she didn't really want to know. However, the result of the matter was similar to what she thought, Zhuang Luo really had Yan Mingxiu's shadow behind him.
Although Qiao Yi didn't tell her about the future treatment, Ruan Wan could hear that he was really angry. It's no wonder that his sister is at most trying to understand Qiao's life and not controlling, and now he sees that an outsider is reaching out to his sister and trying to manipulate it, so he is not angry to call it a strange thing.
So she had reason to infer that life would not be too good for a while after there were more colors.
It's so much fun.
The pleasant things are one after the other.
During this time, Qi Xuan also passed the semi-finals and became one of the top 20 in this division.
Although it is only a victory in the division, to be honest, there is still a gap between the division and the division. As the central city, City A definitely has more attention from the audience than most cities in the competition area.
Although it's just a little bit, Qi Doubi did start to have his own fans.
She didn't know where he could go in the future, but she still happily accepted the "20-in-10" promotion ticket he sent - from this step, it was officially live.
Ruan Wan remembers that this competition in her previous life seemed to have attracted attention from this time.
As a friend, she really hopes that Qi Xuan can go all the way.
All in all, this period of time is simply Ruan Wan's "lucky day", and it is sung with a lyric that is "good luck is coming, good luck is coming~", but it is said that luck is always "flat", that is, when a person's luck value reaches a certain peak, it will inevitably fall down with a "boom".
For example......
At this point, a post suddenly appeared on the school's internal forum.
One, there is a post about Ruan Wan.
The name of this post is "The True Face of the So-called "Most Beautiful School Flower" in August 18.
