After transmigrating, He Zhao was forced by the system to set up a late-night stall. Setting up a stall at this hour ha...
Chapter 92 When He Zhao went to set up his stall that evening, he asked Wang Yu this question: "Sister Qiao,..."
When they went to set up their stall that evening, He Zhao asked Wang Yu this question: "Sister Qiao, is it possible that she is... um, is she a lesbian or bisexual?"
Wang Yu also drove over today, and even brought He Zhao her favorite milk tea. After all, He Zhao treated her last night, so it's only polite to reciprocate. She should at least know a thing or two about social etiquette.
When He Zhao asked that question, Wang Yu was engrossed in drinking her milk tea. The sudden question startled her so much that she spat it all out. Luckily, she reacted quickly, turning to the other side, otherwise He Zhao's food cart would have been in serious trouble.
However, her action still made He Zhao frown with some disgust, and he said rather rudely, "You clean it up yourself later, don't let it clump together and cause trouble for the sanitation worker tomorrow."
"I know!" Wang Yu shouted back, but instead of dealing with the trash first, she asked He Zhao, "Why are you suddenly asking this kind of question?" She was secretly thrilled; her time to play matchmaker had finally come!
Wang Yu was in high spirits, but He Zhao seemed rather unapproachable, and snorted, "Never mind that, just answer me."
Wang Yu spoke the truth: "No, that's impossible. She is definitely not a lesbian or bisexual."
But Wang Yu didn't think she was heterosexual. Qiao Yanyu seemed asexual, with no interest in humans or ghosts. She appeared capable and hardworking, but Wang Yu always sensed a faint air of death about her.
After Wang Yu finished speaking, she noticed that He Zhao's expression had soured, and the food had turned a liverish color. The guests hadn't arrived yet, and a cold wind was blowing at the park entrance; it was just the two of them. But as the wind blew, Wang Yu suddenly had a sudden inspiration and said, "But, I think she likes you."
At first, He Zhao didn't understand the meaning of those words. She just mumbled an "uh-huh" and felt like she had just been dumped. She casually replied, "I like Sister Qiao too." But in He Zhao's heart, the two people's "likes" ultimately had different meanings.
Wang Yu, biting her straw and sipping her bubble tea, chewed for a while before suddenly asking, "Then why don't you two confess to each other? If all else fails, boss, you go first!"
"ah?"
He Zhao, who was originally quite clever, was suddenly stunned and completely failed to understand what Wang Yu meant by those words.
Wang Yu finally understood, and today was the day to break the ice! She suddenly laughed: "Today, I can finally be a great hero!" She chuckled, looking even a little lewd. Under He Zhao's increasingly furious gaze, she cleared her throat before saying, "Sometimes I really think you two are both idiots."
"Wow, I don't even want to talk about the atmosphere between you two at the hospital that day. You even asked me why I didn't give Senior Qiao an apple. Was I there to be a third wheel? Did I act like an idiot and ask you, 'Senior, do you want an apple? I peeled one for you,' when you two were all lovey-dovey? You're both smart people, how come you can't understand this kind of thing? You two have feelings for each other! You're just one step away from getting together! And I have to say it here!"
Wang Yu's tone was exaggerated, but He Zhao's reaction was even more exaggerated. She was completely stunned, not knowing how to react, and just stared at Wang Yu's mouth opening and closing.
Seeing this, Wang Yu stopped drinking her milk tea. She put the milk tea on the table, stretched out her hand, and waved it in front of He Zhao's face: "Boss? Hey, boss, wake up, don't scare me!"
He Zhao turned around, reached out and grabbed her shoulders, shaking her several times: "No, what did you just say? Say it again!" With He Zhao's strength, an ordinary person would have been shaken to their core by now. But Wang Yu's physical strength was extremely strong, and she managed to turn herself into a chicken head stabilizer, barely moving at all.
Yu Yu also replied to He Zhao in a serious tone: "I said you two are in love with each other."
He Zhao stopped shaking Wang Yu and turned away, seemingly lost in thought. At that moment, she was overwhelmed with joy, but after calming down, she wondered: Is it really true? Can Wang Yu's words be trusted? Wang Yu is notoriously unreliable, sometimes acting like a fool. Can you really believe what someone like that says?
A little voice inside him told him that what Wang Yu said must be true! Because according to He Zhao's own analysis, Qiao Yanyu's behavior was also strange; that awkwardness was because she liked him!
Combined with Wang Yu's intelligence, isn't it solid proof that he likes her?! He Zhao swallowed hard. If that's really the case, then his trip to this world has truly been worthwhile! Not only did he meet his ideal type, but he can also achieve a happy ending! What a wonderful thing! How great!
He Zhao was thinking about all this, and he was having such a wonderful time.
When she turned around and saw Wang Yu, she was a little embarrassed, and finally asked uncertainly, "Is what you said true?"
This time, Wang Yu rolled her eyes, almost to the heavens. "Why would I joke with you like that? Of course it's true." After saying that, she picked up her milk tea and took a few more sips, finally asking casually, "So now you know that Sister Qiao likes you too, when are you going to confess?"
He Zhao remained silent for a long time, not responding to Wang Yu's question. Wang Yu, curious, turned to look at He Zhao and saw a conflicted expression on his face. Meeting Wang Yu's somewhat surprised gaze, He Zhao finally asked, "Then... can't Sister Qiao confess to me first?"
"?"
Wang Yu was genuinely confused: "What's the difference?"
He Zhao sat in the chair, her posture much more awkward than usual, and she slowly said three words: "I dare not."
This is Lei Zi's attitude towards straight girls. The moment He Zhao realized Qiao Yanyu wasn't Lei Zi, this was her attitude when she considered confessing. She genuinely didn't dare. How could Lei Zi, after becoming good friends with a straight girl, still muster the courage to confess?
If I don't confess, we can still be friends. But if I do confess and Wang Yu gets the information wrong, I won't have any chance to back out.
Most importantly, He Zhao had never confessed her feelings. Before her transmigration, she had never had a crush on anyone. Although she knew she liked girls, she had never actually tried, let alone confessed to anyone. It was Lei Zi, however, with her sharp "radar," who found He Zhao and suggested giving it a try.
But He Zhao is an intuitive person, and she rejected all such suggestions.
Although He Zhao had always liked Qiao Yanyu, she had never thought about confessing her feelings. She couldn't even imagine the scene of her confessing.
Upon hearing this, Wang Yu was stunned: "Really? You don't dare?!"
Wang Yu truly hadn't considered this possibility, because He Zhao's image had never suggested she was the type to "dare not." When she led a group of ghosts to rescue Qiao Yanyu, she showed absolutely no sign of fear; she was truly a brave woman!
It's utterly ridiculous for someone like that to say he wouldn't dare!
Although Wang Yu was surprised, as a matchmaker, she couldn't just give up on the couple in front of her. So after thinking for a long time, she said with a heavy heart, "It seems that only if you confess first will you have a chance. Based on what I know about Senior Qiao, she probably hasn't been in a relationship before. Although she's quite old, she's still young and just starting to experience feelings. She doesn't know what her true feelings are like yet."
"If you want her to confess first, I think it will be difficult. So my suggestion is that you confess first, it's more reliable."
Wang Yu's advice was very reasonable, but He Zhao couldn't accept it because she really didn't dare to confess her feelings.
Seeing He Zhao's conflicted expression, Wang Yu could only sigh and advise again, "Boss, you have to think about it. How long do you have to wait for her to decide to step forward? Can you hold back? Can you patiently wait that long? I don't think you can. Instead of sitting and waiting for death, you should take the initiative."
In order to act as a matchmaker and get a piece of He Zhao's work (referring specifically to inspirational quotes), Wang Yu really put in a lot of effort. Meanwhile, He Zhao, like a useless lord, simply stretched out his hand and said, "Let me think about it, let me think about it."
Wang Yu gritted her teeth and decided to give it her all: "Look, boss, the reason you're hesitant is simply because you lack experience and are afraid of being rejected. But in my judgment, Senior Qiao probably won't reject you. So, you just need to accumulate some experience."
That makes sense, but how do you do it? You can't just fall for someone else and confess your feelings to them, can you?
While falling for someone else is unacceptable, Wang Yu's dim-witted little brain can certainly come up with some terrible ideas: "Here's what I'm going to do. Boss, just treat me like Senior Qiao and confess to me first. The more you say it, the more experience and courage you'll gain. Then, when you face Senior Qiao, it'll be a piece of cake, right?"
It sounds like a bad idea, but it seems to have some potential. I'm not sure, I'll think about it some more.
But looking at Wang Yu's face, He Zhao found it really hard to speak, almost too embarrassing to say. After a long pause, she finally managed to utter, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
But people are easily swayed. By the time Wang Yu said, "Listen to me," it was too late.
Time flew by, and it was already around 10:30. The sutured water ghost, which always arrived early, felt even more anxious about being sent to the afterlife after learning that Lin Gao was about to be sentenced. So now it especially cherished every bowl of rice it ate at the stall.
But today, the sutured water ghost almost thought it had gone to the wrong place.
The park was still the same park, with the same second streetlamp and the same stalls, unchanged. But strangely, the two people sitting behind the stalls seemed off. He Zhao and the girl he wasn't particularly familiar with were sitting face to face.
He Zhao looked at the girl, whose name seemed to be Wang Yu. Her expression was very serious, and she pursed her lips tightly. The Stitching Ghost thought that the atmosphere between the two of them was too strange, and that Wang Yu was an investigator, someone who was quite capable. If the two of them got into a fight, the Stitching Ghost would definitely protect He Zhao.
Just as it was thinking this, it heard He Zhao say, "I...like mud..."
