The Backbone of Rose

Everyone at the Bluestone Agricultural Market knows Xu Wenqiang is a formidable girl.

When she does business, she's not afraid to lose face. When she gets into a fight, she's willing ...

48. Anyway, you are the one who looks good

48. Anyway, you are the one who looks good

The day before school started at Qingshi No. 1 Middle School, which was the day Xiao Cheng and Xu Wenqiang met, Xiao Cheng pulled Xu Wenqiang and got his clothes dirty, so he threw the clothes into the trash can.

It was also on that day that Xu Wenqiang called Xiao Cheng a "spendthrift" and then went to pick up the clothes he had thrown away.

So, Xiao Cheng now looked at Xu Wenqiang wearing the clothes he had thrown away with a mysterious look.

When she appeared in front of him wearing his clothes, he naturally had wild thoughts. But when she was wearing clothes he had thrown away, his wild thoughts stopped.

Xu Wenqiang thought Xiao Cheng had another idea about the dress, so she was naturally reluctant. "Xiao Cheng, even if this dress is yours, you have already thrown it away. If I hadn't picked it up, it would have become garbage long ago. So it's not appropriate for you to take it back now. Besides, I was planning to wear it to Xing Jiaqi's birthday party--"

"Xu Wenqiang, you can't wear that dress." Xiao Cheng interrupted Xu Wenqiang.

Xu Wenqiang wanted to get angry, "Why?"

"Because," Xiao Cheng took off his short coat, revealing a black shirt with a golden bird on the collar, "I'm wearing it too."

Xu Wenqiang was speechless.

On the busy street, Xu Wenqiang and Xiao Cheng, wearing identical shirts, stood facing each other. The four golden birds on their collars fluttered their wings in the sunlight, as if they were about to fly to each other.

After a while, Xu Wenqiang smiled awkwardly and said, "You're such a fool! You actually bought another one. What a coincidence! We're wearing this together. We almost look like couples. I'm going home to change now."

But Xiao Cheng said, "Don't go home and change it, let's go buy a new one."

"Buy new ones?" Xu Wenqiang was confused. "What do you mean?"

"Because I have to compensate you." Xiao Cheng said, "In order to prevent the two of us from wearing this dress together again, I have to take it back. But you also said just now that this dress is yours now, so to be fair, I have to compensate you with another one."

That would wipe out the whole "she picked up his discarded clothes" thing.

Xiao Cheng's words sounded reasonable, but Xu Wenqiang felt that they were inappropriate.

"Xiao Cheng, why don't you give me one of your other clothes?" she said. "After all, this dress is old. I'm not that shameless to exchange it for a new one."

"That's fine." Xiao Cheng agreed to Xu Wenqiang's proposal, and his mind began to wander. After all, she was going to keep one of his clothes with her.

"Then let's go to my house first." Xiao Cheng handed Xu Wenqiang a helmet. "We'll go there by motorcycle. Do you want to send your bike home?"

"No need, just put it here." The problem of clothes was solved, but Xu Wenqiang was in a dilemma when holding the helmet.

This motorcycle is not an ordinary motorcycle. Its back seat is a little higher than the driver's seat. If she sits on it, her whole body will have to lie on Xiao Cheng.

Xiao Cheng knew what was going on. He took the helmet from Xu Wenqiang, put it on her, opened the glass cover and said, "I drive very steadily. Just put your hand on my shoulder."

Having her thoughts seen through, Xu Wenqiang closed the glass cover and said "hmm" inside the helmet.

Xiao Cheng was a little unsure. Was she being shy?

After getting on the motorcycle, Xu Wenqiang placed a few fingers on Xiao Cheng's body, then tensed up and didn't move. Even with just a few fingers, she could feel the heat from Xiao Cheng's body. Her attention was completely focused on those fingers, afraid that she would accidentally take advantage of Xiao Cheng.

However, the weather at the beginning of autumn was so comfortable that it made people want to sigh. With the cool breeze blowing and the warm sunshine shining, Xu Wenqiang forgot about her nervousness and unconsciously put her hands on Xiao Cheng's shoulders.

Xiao Cheng kept waiting until Xu Wenqiang put her hands on his shoulders, then he stepped on the accelerator and rode out.

Arriving downstairs at Xiao Cheng's house, Xu Wenqiang finally remembered to ask, "Your parents..."

Suddenly feeling like she was here to have an affair, Xu Wenqiang couldn't continue.

"They are not at home." Xiao Cheng glanced at her, saw through her but did not say anything, and walked up the stairs first.

Xu Wenqiang touched her nose and followed.

After entering the room, Xiao Cheng took out slippers for Xu Wenqiang to change into, then took her to his room, opened the closet and said, "My clothes are all here, you can pick any one to change into, I'll go out and wait for you."

"Whatever?" Xu Wenqiang asked.

"Whatever." Xiao Cheng said and left the room.

Xu Wenqiang looked at the clothes in the closet in front of her, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses. She actually followed Xiao Cheng into his house and then into his room?

It’s unbelievable to think about it.

But at this point, Xu Wenqiang no longer cared about much else and focused all her attention on the clothes in front of her.

She had kept her eyes down and hadn't looked around since she entered Xiao Cheng's house. Now that Xiao Cheng had gone out and she was left alone, she had no intention of looking around the room.

It's just inevitable that you will still see some.

Just like on the desk next to the wardrobe, Xu Wenqiang saw the pen she gave to Xiao Cheng, placed in a box, which was treated much better than when it was in her hands.

Xu Wenqiang finally picked out a white shirt. Since Xiao Cheng was wearing a black one, she chose a different one.

"I'm fine." Xu Wenqiang came out after changing her clothes. "I took off that one and put it on the bed."

Xiao Cheng raised his head from the sofa and glanced at Xu Wenqiang, "Wait for me." Then he walked into another room. After a while, he came out holding a large azure blue scarf.

"Do you know how to tie it?" Xiao Cheng handed the scarf to Xu Wenqiang.

Xu Wenqiang shook her head and didn't answer. "I've never worn this before. Forget it."

Xiao Cheng walked over and draped the scarf over Xu Wenqiang, "White clothes are a bit transparent, use this to cover it up."

Xu Wenqiang's body stiffened, and she let Xiao Cheng toss him around.

Xiao Cheng draped the scarf over Xu Wenqiang's shoulders, pulling it left and right, repeatedly adjusting its position.

Xu Wenqiang stood up straight and didn't move, for fear of disturbing Xiao Cheng who was looking serious.

"Do you often help your mother do this?" Xu Wenqiang asked.

"No, this is the first time." Xiao Cheng said.

Xu Wenqiang looked up at Xiao Cheng who was so close to her, and for a moment she forgot what to say.

"Stop looking at me." Xiao Cheng suddenly said, "If you keep looking at me, I'll be shy."

"Who said I looked at you?" Xu Wenqiang turned her eyes away and felt shy first.

Finally, Xiao Cheng tied the handkerchief around Xu Wenqiang's left shoulder and said, "That's it."

Xu Wenqiang finally breathed a sigh of relief, looked down, and tugged at the square scarf on her body. The scarf covered everything that needed to be covered, and the deep blue color matched her blue jeans very comfortably.

"Thank you." Xu Wenqiang smiled at Xiao Cheng, "I didn't expect it to be so beautiful."

"You're welcome." Xiao Cheng said, "You're the one who looks good anyway."

Xu Wenqiang was stunned. Xiao Cheng had already started walking towards the door. "Let's go. We still have to buy a gift for Xing Jiaqi."

Xu Wenqiang said "hmm" and followed.
