Chapter 49: Because it's easy to bully
The meeting place was a branch of a well-known steamed bun shop in Guangzhou. When we arrived, the hero and heroine hadn't yet appeared.
I fought until midnight last night and slept without supper, and now I've already sung the empty city plan in my stomach, so I decided not to wait for the hero and heroine to appear, and I ate first.
Lin Xiaoran and I both ordered breakfast for two, and it turned out that four buns, two fritters and two bowls of soy milk cost fifty-six yuan, and the total for two people was one hundred and twelve.
This breakfast alone is equivalent to the usual three days of food for us migrant workers, but I don't have to spend money to eat with Lin Xiaoran, so I don't feel heartbroken.
To be honest, I can't really tell the difference between the buns here and the five-cent-a-one buns on the street, but people seem to like expensive things these days, and even though it's past the peak breakfast season, the bun shop is still full of customers.
We haven't finished eating a bun yet, the hero and heroine have appeared one after another, and the heroine has already been seen before, so there is nothing to introduce.
I focused on today's male protagonist, a young man of about twenty-five or sixteen years old, who feels very gentle, with rimless glasses on the bridge of his nose, dressed as a company clerk, and looks a little handsome.
"Director Lin." When the young man saw Lin Xiaoran, he shouted respectfully, and when he saw Zhou Bing on the other side, his face suddenly became a little unnatural.
This is the first time I know that Lin Xiaoran had the experience of knowing in the family business before he ran out, and he is also a director, as for the specific supervisor, I don't know.
"Sit, have you eaten?" Lin Xiaoran had a big mouthful of buns in his mouth, pointed to the stool next to him and said vaguely.
"I've eaten it." The young man replied, but his stomach was uncomfortable, "Goo!" He called twice and betrayed him.
Lin Xiaoran threw his wallet to me and ordered, "Go and help them get some food." β
I bought them the same amount of steamed buns and soy milk fritters as us, and when I put the things back, I thought viciously to myself: It is estimated that most of these things will have to go into Zhou Bing's stomach for a while.
By the time I returned to my seat, they had apparently completed the process of introducing each other. Liang Xiaojun is the young man sitting on a stool with his head bowed, looking uneasy. It can be seen that he is not very satisfied with the blind date arranged by the old leader today, but because he is afraid that Lin Xiaoran will be unhappy, he just needs to deal with things head-on. And Zhou Bing's eyes were slightly happy when he looked at Liang Xiaojun, and he seemed to be quite satisfied with the object that Lin Xiaoran arranged for her today.
I put my things down, sat back next to Lin Xiaoran, picked up a fritter and took a bite, and asked casually, "What does Brother Liang do?" β
"Don't dare, just call me Xiaoliang, I do graphic design in Haoran Advertising, which is the advertising agency where Director Lin used to be the director." Liang Xiaojun replied respectfully, he obviously knew that I could not be Zhou Bing's escort, but it was obvious that he had also misunderstood something.
I praised: "Graphic design, yes, only smart people can do the work of eating with their brains." β
"Big brother praised it, in fact, I didn't do very well, if it wasn't for the director to take care of me, I might not have been able to stay at the beginning, I don't know what I do."
"I, who used to move bricks at the construction site, are now unemployed, and I fool around in the game every day."
Liang Xiaojun laughed and said, "Big brother is really joking. β
I looked at Lin Xiaoran: "Now that society has developed to the point that the more you tell the truth, the more no one believes Cheng DΓΉ?" β
"Also, don't always call me big brother, big brother, I'm younger than you, you can just call me Chen Hui."
Lin Xiaoran saw that I was chatting with Liang Xiaojun hotly, and secretly kicked me under the table, meaning that I shut up, and said to Liang Xiaojun with a smile: "Xiaojun, don't pay attention to him, he doesn't do anything right all day long, you and Zhou Bing are so close." β
Then Lin Xiaoran gave Zhou Bing a look.
Zhou Bing picked up a bun and handed it to Liang Xiaojun's mouth and said, "You eat." β
Liang Xiaojun obediently picked up the bun and nibbled on it.
After eating a bun, Zhou Bing handed him another fritter, and Liang Xiaojun was still obedient and took the fritter and stuffed it into his mouth.
I immediately buried my face in the soy milk bowl.
β¦β¦
Halfway through the meal, Lin Xiaoran said directly to Liang Xiaojun: "Xiaojun, you come out with me, I have something to ask you." β
I pointed to Liang Xiaojun's back and asked Zhou Bing, "Do you like this one?" β
Zhou Bing sucked the soy milk slowly, "I like it, why don't you like it." β
I wondered, "Are you sure?" This kid is not the same as the peerless heavenly wind at all. β
Zhou Bing gritted his teeth and said: "Don't be that bastard in front of me in the future, after this incident, I no longer believe in handsome and eloquent boys." β
"And what do you like about that kid?"
"People are honest and easy to bully."
I was speechless and continued to drink soy milk with my head down.
After a pause, Zhou Bing suddenly asked me, "Chen Hui, do you know why I like you?" β
I said, "There's no way she likes me at all, it's true that she likes to bully me." β
Zhou Bing smiled: "You're right, the reason why I like you is because you are so bullying." β
I was dissatisfied: "Can you stop gossiping so much, she is a lady worth billions, I move bricks in a construction site, how can she like me." β
Zhou Bing said seriously: "True love, never pay attention to any money and status, as long as the two hearts are happy, the rest is not a problem, in fact, you know it in your heart, but you don't dare to think about it, right?" β
I said to myself, "I dare to think, I dare to think, I want to sleep in the same bed with her in my dreams." β
But the problem is that in addition to liking to bully me, I really don't see where Lin Xiaoran likes me at all, there is such a big gap between our reality, this is simply impossible. Dick Si's counterattack only appears in novels, and reality is impossible.
"You've read too many male urban novels, right?" I say.
Zhou Bing didn't pay attention to me anymore.
β¦β¦
After a while, Lin Xiaoran and Liang Xiaojun came back.
I can see that after being asked by Lin Xiaoran to talk alone, Liang Xiaojun's attitude towards Zhou Bing was more positive, and he began to take the initiative to communicate with Zhou Bing, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that these are not from his heart.
The four of them quickly wiped out the things on the table, and Lin Xiaoran and I ate our own food, but the result of Zhou Bing's group was exactly the opposite of what I expected in advance, five buns and three fritters all entered Liang Xiaojun's stomach, in addition to adding three bowls of soy milk. Of course, some things were shoehorned by Zhou Bing.
When Liang Xiaojun followed Zhou Bing away, I found that his hands were always holding his stomach.
I was immediately disappointed in Liang Xiaojun.
On the way back, I asked Lin Xiaoran curiously: "What did you say to Liang Xiaojun just now?" β
"Actually, it's nothing, it's just to encourage him to work hard, and when I go back, I'll promote him to be the head of the plane."
Me: ", I can't see that this kid is so undisciplined, and a position as a plane supervisor can make him willingly sell the happiness of the second half of his life." β
"Actually, it's not all like this, I also warned her that if she dared to upset Zhou Bing, I would fire him."
"He's so easily threatened by you? This kid really didn't have a seed, isn't he a man? β
Lin Xiaoran said: "Actually, you don't understand the situation, Liang Xiaojun is not in good health, and he has to spend a lot of money on medical expenses every month, and Haoran's salary is 30% to 50% higher than that of the same industry, so he needs this job very much now." β
I said angrily: "Then this is your fault, as a former leader of others, how can you casually take advantage of people's weakness to force him to accept something he is not willing to accept." β
Lin Xiaoran looked at me and said seriously: "Idiot, you misunderstood me, in fact, you don't understand Zhou Bing, she is a very kind person, Liang Xiaojun found her is actually his blessing, you will all understand me in the future." β
I said, "Why are you so confident?" β
"Because I'm not like some people who make random decisions about anything without investigation."
"It's my fault."
"Nonsense, it's your fault."
β¦β¦
Back at the residence, Lin Xiaoran's interest was still very high, humming a small tune everywhere she went, as if she thought that she had just done something immeasurably meritorious.
I couldn't help but hit her and said, "I bet that Zhou Bing and Liang Xiaojun will not be together for long, and when he finds a job that can afford his mother's medical expenses again, he will have a showdown with you immediately." β
Lin Xiaoran said confidently: "Okay, I'll make this bet with you, what's the bet?" β
"If I win, I demand the right to sleep in the bed."
Lin Xiaoran nodded: "This is no problem." β
I jumped three feet high: "Really? β
She said disapprerovingly, "You won't win anyway." β
I swore that I would win, "because I know too well what men think." β
Lin Xiaoran said: "Okay, what if you lose? β
"Then punish me for cleaning the toilet for a month."
"No, it's your job to clean the toilet, change it."
I was speechless: "How did cleaning the toilet become my job alone?" β
"Nonsense, you live with me, I don't charge you rent, shouldn't you take the initiative to take on some other responsibilities?"
I said, "I can take on the responsibility of taking care of you." β
"Thank you, this girl doesn't need you to take care of it, you just need to take care of the toilet." After Lin Xiaoran finished speaking, he turned around and went back to the room, the meaning was very clear, this matter was not negotiable at all.
I pointed to my nose and asked, "Am I so easy to bully?" β
PS: I've finally finished writing this chapter, and I've basically written what I want to express in my heart, I don't know if you're satisfied with it?
