Chapter 86 Is the word "sleep" pure?

Shi Wanrou and Jiang Yunyao talked for a while before getting to the main topic of the evening.

"Xiaoting's birthday is in a month, and we're planning to hold a birthday party for her," she paused, "To be honest, this is also a blind date party!"

The "Xiao Ting" that Ms. Shi mentioned is Xie Yixing's brother, Mr. Xie.

Xie Yixing's eyes widened, and the strands of hair on his head trembled. "Blind date?! You mean you want my brother to get married?!"

His reaction was somewhat intense, with disbelief, disappointment, and doubt flashing in his eyes... He was beyond the expectations of Jiang Yunyao and the audience.

Jiang Yunyao didn't know the inside story and didn't speak rashly. Instead, like Xie Yixing, she waited quietly for Ms. Shi's next words.

Shi Wanrou understood her son and was not hurt by his look, but she felt a little helpless.

"Of course, Old Xie and I won't agree! But this is Xiao Ting's idea. He insists on doing this, and there's nothing we can do!"

"Does my brother want to follow your old path?!" Xie Yixing scratched his hair and said irritably, "No, I want to call my brother and ask him what he really thinks!"

Shi Wanrou stopped him in time, "Stop fighting! Your brother would have already gone to bed by this time!"

"I don't know what Xiaoting is thinking, but he's suddenly started taking care of his health these past two days. He goes to bed early and wakes up early. He's more punctual than an alarm clock!"

The last sentence was Ms. Shi's muttering, but the voice was not small, so it came through clearly.

Jiang and Xie: "???"

How can people in their thirties start to take care of their health?

Is this because you are too busy at work and exhausted?

Xie Yixing was originally worried about his brother's lifelong affairs, but now that he heard that his brother wanted to take care of his health, he became worried about his brother's health again.

Shi Wanrou saw her son looking unhappy and said with a smile, "Look at your bitter face! This blind date party isn't an engagement party! We haven't even started dating yet!"

In fact, blind dates are not considered arranged marriages. They just narrow the scope of finding a marriage partner to a small circle. Whether or not to choose to date is essentially a matter of mutual consent.

Moreover, not to mention the Xie family, even among the wealthy families nowadays, it is rare to force their children to marry.

Unlike their generation, there were victims of arranged marriages everywhere, like her, Lao Xie, and Murong...

Jiang Yunyao keenly noticed that Ms. Shi was in a bad mood and changed the subject.

"Mom, what should we wear on the birthday party?"

Usually birthday parties are gatherings of family and friends, but from what Ms. Shi said, many people are invited to this birthday party. In other words, it is a big occasion, and everyone’s look should be exquisite!

Shi Wanrou's attention was diverted and she perked up again.

"Xiaoyao, don't worry about anything. I'll dress you and Xiaoli up beautifully that day and make sure you stun everyone!"

The "Xiao Li" she was talking about was Xie Yixing's sister, Xie Li.

Jiang Yunyao was originally afraid of stealing the limelight, but then she thought, since Ms. Shi said so, there is no problem in doing so!

She happily agreed, "Okay!"

[Oh my god! Are these wealthy families really planning a marriage?! I thought they were just talking!]

Ahhhh, I've been thinking about this for a long time, but I still don't understand what Xiao Xie meant by "follow your old path"!

[What I said before, don't you understand? It means that Xiao Xie's parents are in a marriage of convenience!]

Judging from Xiao Xie's personality, his family atmosphere should be quite good. This suggests that arranged marriages aren't necessarily unhappy.

[Oh! Only the person who drinks the water knows whether it is hot or cold! There are so many people who appear to be harmonious but are actually at odds with each other. Who knows if it is true happiness or just a fake one!]

Aren't you moved by the brotherhood between Xiao Xie and Mr. Xie? Brothers from wealthy families are actually better than brothers from ordinary families. How enviable!

Jiang and Xie originally thought that Ms. Shi called just to discuss the birthday party, but Ms. Shi sighed and her expression gradually became serious.

"Xiaoyi, Xiaoyao, I have something I want to ask you. I wonder if you are willing to help me."

Jiang and Xie didn't understand why, but they both expressed their willingness.

"Xiaoli's school will hold a parent-teacher meeting at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Lao Xie and I are currently busy, so if you're free, please go!"

Jiang Yunyao didn't hear Xie Yixing's response, and she had a feeling that this parent-teacher meeting was unusual.

She turned her head and saw that there was indeed a problem!

The word "rejection" was written all over Xie Yixing's face.

"I don't want to! Their school's parent-teacher conferences last three hours and are nothing but reports and speeches. It's boring and uninteresting, and you can't even use your phone! I don't want to go!"

Jiang Yunyao was shocked when she heard this. "Three hours?! That's longer than the average movie!"

Shi Wanrou's face changed, she immediately lowered her head, raised her hand to wipe away the non-existent tears, and spoke in a miserable voice.

"I went last time, and the time before that it was Lao Xie, and the time before that it was Xiao Ting. So it's your turn now!"

Xie Yixing couldn't bear to see Ms. Shi like this. He hesitated for a few seconds, and then agreed like a frost-bitten eggplant.

"Okay, I'll go!" He then thought of something and said, "But you can't let me go next time!"

"Of course!" Ms. Shi's expression changed in an instant. She raised her head and said to the two of them with a smile.

"Xiaoyao, come with us too! Xiaoyao, you probably haven't been to Xiaoli's school yet, right? That's also Xiaoyi's alma mater. It's a great opportunity for you to explore the campus together!"

Jiang Yunyao: “…Okay!”

She will think carefully tonight about how to spend the long three hours tomorrow!

When Xie Yixing heard Jiang Yunyao agree, he instantly forgot the horror of the parent-teacher meeting and was filled with anticipation of walking around the campus with her.

What the hell are these three-hour parent-teacher conferences? Do schools these days torture not only students but also parents?

[Don't worry! Only Fengyang Middle School does this! Some of the parents of their students are quite powerful, and to show that they value them, the school organized a parent-teacher conference that's like a meeting!]

[Whoever came up with this idea must think he's a genius!]

I can't even watch a three-hour movie, let alone listen to a report or speech. It's just boring!

[This is hilarious! I went to the bathroom 14 times during one parent-teacher conference!]

【How come you know so clearly about the one in front? 】

[Nonsense! He must have participated, otherwise how could he get the number "14" so accurately?]

Shi Wanrou looked at her son's raised mouth corners and her smile deepened.

"Xiaoyao, Xiaoyi, it's so late, I won't disturb you two young lovers! Go to bed early!"

Jiang Yunyao met Ms. Shi's meaningful gaze and said, "..."

Is the word "sleep" pure?

Xie Yixing didn't get what Ms. Shi meant. After saying goodbye to her together with Jiang Yunyao, he hung up the phone.

The next morning, the program team suddenly announced that the guests would have free time today.
