Chapter 635 Jiang Budu x Tang Qing if line (HE version)
With the experience of his previous life, Jiang Budu already knew roughly how to get along with Ying Xing. Although she had a hot temper, she was loyal and had a genuine relationship with Tang Qing. Her previous attitude towards him was simply because Tang Qing was hurt by him.
Now that time has returned, although Ying Xing still has a bad impression of him, it is not to the point where it cannot be undone.
Ying Xing is not someone who can be bought off with just some gifts. Given her relationship with Tang Qing, this trick will definitely not work.
Jiang Budu rubbed his temples and began to think.
——
Tang Qing hadn't gone out much in the few months since he came to Haicheng. This time, he played with Ying Xing for three consecutive days and checked in at many of Haicheng's popular stores and attractions. Although there were many people, the experience was pretty good.
After being out for three consecutive days, both of them were a little tired, so they decided to rest at home on the fourth day.
The two of them slept in until eleven o'clock. They were too lazy to cook, so they ordered takeout. While waiting for the takeout, they sat in the living room eating snacks and chatting.
After chatting for a while, there was a knock on the door.
"So fast?" Ying Xing thought the takeaway had arrived, so he put down the potato chips in his hand and went to open the door.
When she opened the door and prepared to take the takeaway, she found that the person standing at the door was not the rider in blue, but... Jiang Budu.
Although it was the first time Ying Xing met Jiang Budu, he had seen his photos in gossip news many times before, so he recognized him at a glance, and the smile on his face disappeared in an instant.
Ying Xing was just wondering what excuse he could find to meet Jiang Budu, but before he could come up with an excuse, Jiang Budu came over on his own.
It was just right, she took advantage of this moment to observe carefully and see whether he was really a prodigal son who turned over a new leaf or had other intentions.
Tang Qing saw Ying Xing standing at the door without moving, so he asked, "What's wrong?"
As she asked, she stood up and walked to the door. When she saw Jiang Budu, she was also stunned: "...Why are you here?"
He had promised her that he would not come over for the next few days, but this time he suddenly came without any warning, leaving her confused.
"I left a USB drive with you. Come and look for it." Jiang Budu's attitude was quite polite, and his explanation was relatively calm: "Take it and leave."
"Oh, then go ahead." Tang Qing pulled Ying Xing and made way for him.
Jiang Budu nodded, took off his shoes after entering the room, and went to the study.
After watching Jiang Budu enter the study and close the door, Ying Xing leaned over to Tang Qing's ear and said, "It's a good thing he's here today. I'll meet him later."
Tang Qing: "He should have left after taking his things."
"Watch me." Ying Xing patted Tang Qing's arm and gave her a confident look.
We couldn’t think of a way to get Jiang Budu over before, but now that Jiang Budu has come himself, the problem is much easier to solve.
As the two were talking about this, the doorbell rang again, and this time it was really the takeaway.
There were four takeout bags for the takeaway. Tang Qing and Ying Xing took two each. As soon as they sent the delivery man away, Jiang Budu came out of the study.
Jiang Budu saw the takeout in their hands and asked casually, "Why didn't you cook?"
Tang Qing: "I'm too tired from playing."
Jiang Budu: "Have you walked too much?"
He lowered his eyes to glance at Tang Qing's ankle and said, "I'll ask Xu Jiang to give you the car keys later."
Tang Qing: "...What car keys?"
She couldn't keep up with his pace for a while.
Jiang Budu: "It would be more convenient for you and your friend to drive. You both should have driver's licenses, right? You can take turns driving and save a lot of time."
Ying Xing stood aside and raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard Jiang Budu's words. These words sounded very considerate and natural. There was no condescending charity in them, but rather like the advice between ordinary lovers.
Ying Xing knew Tang Qing's taste very well. If they had been getting along like this recently, it would not be surprising that Tang Qing would be attracted to Jiang Budu - this was much more thoughtful than sending flowers, jewelry, or spending money.
Of course, no one doesn’t love money, but what we love is the money itself, not the person who spends the money.
At least Tang Qing would definitely not fall in love with someone who threw money at her.
If Jiang Budu gave her a car as a gift today, she would accept it, but she would definitely not feel any emotion.
Ying Xing had some praise for Jiang Budu's behavior, but she couldn't be sure whether he did this because he was interested in Tang Qing or it was just a trick he used against women.
"Thank you very much." Ying Xing thought for a moment and took over Jiang Budu's words, "Why don't you stay for lunch and have lunch together?"
Ying Xing's attitude was quite enthusiastic, which made Jiang Budu feel a little uncomfortable.
His original intention of coming here was to take advantage of Ying Xing's situation. Ying Xing's request was exactly what he wanted, but Jiang Budu did not agree directly.
Instead, he turned to look at Tang Qing and asked for her opinion: "Is it okay?"
This question confused Tang Qing again - she was still not used to Jiang Budu's "respect" for her. When they encountered such things before, he never cared about her thoughts.
Because of Jiang Budu's behavior, Ying Xing looked at him with more inquiry in his eyes - if he was really acting, he could take care of so many details, which meant that he had profound skills.
Finally, Tang Qing nodded to Jiang Budu at Ying Xing's signal.
It was natural for Jiang Budu to stay and have lunch with the two of them.
The dishes ordered for lunch were quite large, so after arriving at the restaurant, Tang Qing and Ying Xing started busying themselves with unpacking the takeout boxes.
Jiang Budu was not idle either. He walked to the cupboard, took out the tableware and put it on the table.
Jiang Budu sat on one side, while Tang Qing and Ying Xing sat opposite him.
After picking up his chopsticks, Ying Xing was thinking about how to find a topic to chat with Jiang Budu, but Jiang Budu had already spoken first.
He casually asked, "Are you classmates with Tang Qing?"
Ying Xing: "Yes, undergraduate classmates."
Jiang Budu: "That's been years."
Ying Xing nodded, "It's been a long time."
Jiang Budu: "Do you work in North City?"
Ying Xing: “Yes.”
Jiang Budu: "That's great. She'll be going back after her training here, and with you as her friend, we can talk more."
Ying Xing inexplicably heard a sense of being a husband from Jiang Budu's words.
It's... quite divisive.
It doesn't fit his usual image.
It can't be something written about him in the gossip, right? The photos are all there.
Apart from being possessed by a ghost, there is really no scientific explanation.
While Ying Xing was feeling worried, Jiang Budu continued, "She doesn't have many friends here and is usually quite bored. But once you came over, she seemed to be much happier."
Ying Xing came back to his senses, and for once he was at a loss for words, he gave an awkward laugh, "That's right."
Jiang Budu rarely saw Ying Xing so uncomfortable, and knew that she must be frightened by his behavior, so he went to talk to Tang Qing.
"Where have you been these past two days?"
Tang Qing: "I just went to a few tourist spots and checked in."
"Didn't you go to the concert?" Jiang Budu asked, "Weren't you trying to get tickets before?"
Tang Qing: "I didn't get it."
Jiang Budu: "You two should go together for tomorrow night's show. Xu Jiang will bring the tickets over this afternoon."
Tang Qing and Ying Xing asked at the same time: "Huh?"
