Chapter 57. Three sentences made the man throw dust all over me

"If I'm not chosen..." She tilted her head and thought seriously, then said, "Anyway, I want to be with him now. It won't be too late to withdraw later. It's not like I haven't been abandoned before. It's not like I'll lose a piece of meat. Insurance companies have medical insurance, maternity insurance, and even body organ insurance, but when have you ever seen them sell love insurance?" So, is there a possibility that this is actually not a big deal? You should stop playing the role of love security guard. I think you should find your own heroine.

Zhang Haoyu noticed that her eyes became a little hazy, which made him want to take a step forward and push away the mist to see clearly. The sea breeze that raised waves also ruffled the gorgeous skirt and soft long hair on the beach. Her voice suddenly became very light, and any lower it would be drowned out by the night breeze, and she said: Your hair is messy.

"Oh..." Ruan Tang fiddled with her long hair and simply gathered them behind her head. The sea breeze blowing from behind her blew her skirt towards him. She remembered that she had just taken a bath and drank a large glass of cocktail provided by the hotel to cool down. At this moment, she felt a little dizzy because of the sea breeze.

She lowered her head and grabbed a handful of sand, then took a step forward, took Zhang Haoyu's hand and put it in his palm.

"You hold this."

"Do you know what you look like now? A female version of Gu Li. There's a real performance. Try to say that classic line."

"You'd better remember the emotion you just expressed, the movement of your facial muscles, and the rhythm of your lines. If you use them, they will be your acting highlight."

Ruan Tang took a few steps back, waved at him and said: Come on, let's go through it again.

Zhang Haoyu: …

Zhang Haoyu lowered his head, hiding the deep emotions in his eyes, and threw the sand towards Ruan Tang with a flick of his hand.

She ran away screaming, and grabbed two handfuls of sand from the beach and threw them at him. The other people on the beach probably also got into the mood, and they all made "whoa" sounds and joined in the sand-throwing battle.

When Feng Xue arrived, Ruan Tang was leading everyone to squat on the beach and dig a hole. Zhang Haoyu sat aside helplessly, and from time to time he reached out to support Ruan Tang, who was a little unstable.

He walked up to Zhang Haoyu, glanced at him, pulled Ruan Tang aside, put his arm around her waist, and asked: Didn’t you say you were going to find Xu Wei?

"I...don't bother me. I'm going to dig a hole and bury him so that he won't come out to make trouble." Her face was redder than when she was taking a bath just now. She chuckled, put her hands around his neck, and then wrapped her legs around his waist like a monkey climbing a tree.

Feng Xue was worried that she would be exposed, so she kept holding up her skirt. Fortunately, everyone's attention was still on digging the sand pit. Only Zhang Haoyu was sitting on the beach, supporting himself with his hands behind his back, looking at them with an unknown smile on his face.

"Shall I take you back?" Feng Xue leaned close to her ear and asked for her advice.

"No!" She suddenly pushed him away, "I haven't finished digging the hole yet."

He lowered his head and rubbed his eyebrows, secretly regretting asking this question, so he picked her up and carried her sideways. Just as he was about to leave, he turned around and looked at Zhang Haoyu, and advised: You should go back and rest early.

Zhang Haoyu couldn't help but find it funny. For a moment, he didn't know whether his vision was too big or his own was too small.

He stood up, brushed the sand off his hands, waved at them, and replied with a kind smile, "Okay, where are we going to play tomorrow? Remember to call me."

The next day at noon, Xu Wei came to find Ruan Tang to have a spa together. She opened the door in her nightgown, sleepy-eyed, with her face still swollen. As soon as she opened the door, she covered her face with her hands and ran back to her room.

Xu Wei followed in and sighed: You are the youngest among the four of us, why are you so listless on the first day? Feng Xue asked Jia Yingjun to go out to sea early in the morning.

Ruan Tang yawned, took out the spoon she brought with her from the refrigerator, and gently scraped her face. When she heard that she was going to a spa, she shook her head and said, "No, no, I was in the water for more than three hours last night. I'll get swollen if I do it again."

Xu Wei paused, looked at the double bathtub on the balcony, raised her eyebrows, and asked with a gossipy look on her face: Aren’t you two... so exciting?

"Your head is full of dirty laundry. Will your fans accept you?" The ice spoon gently stroked her skin, and her cheeks began to flush slightly, similar to shyness. This made Xu Wei even more excited. She continued, "But I understand bathtubs are very slippery, aren't they? How was the experience?"

Ruan Tang sneered and asked, "Have you heard the story of the little horse crossing the river?" Instead of asking here, why not try it yourself with Mr. Jia? I got drunk last night and got into a fight with Zhang Haoyu on the beach. My hair is covered in sand. According to Feng Xue, he put me in the bathtub and spent over an hour just to get the sand out of my hair.

"A fight broke out?" Xu Wei was surprised again. "You and him?"

"Not really..." Ruan Tang frowned and ran her fingers through her hair, then simply picked up her phone, tapped a few times, and handed it to Xu Wei.

It was the group that Zhang Haoyu had created. The only message in the group was the photo he had sent. Now there were only two of them in the group, but Xu Wei saw Feng Xue's name in the top prompt.

Even Xu Wei, an outsider, couldn't remain calm. Her breath stopped, and she stared at Ruan Tang blankly, asking: He...

"He didn't see it. His phone was right here with me at the time, and I accidentally dropped it in the water. He said he asked room service for uncooked rice last night, and now his phone is in the rice bag in the refrigerator."

Xu Wei inexplicably felt as if she had escaped a dangerous situation. She breathed a sigh of relief and said: That's good, that's good.

"What do you think I should do?" Ruan Tang scratched her hair again in distress. Suddenly, as if remembering something, she quickly pushed her hair back as if to soothe the roots. "Last night, because of the alcohol, I had the best sleep I've had recently."

Xu Wei pondered for a moment and said, "I think it's just a child after all. Can I keep it a secret forever? Zhang Haoyu is so active in this matter, isn't that just right?"

As the two were talking, they heard the sound of a room card being swiped outside the door. Ruan Tang quickly put her phone away and locked the screen. Seeing Feng Xue come in with a bad look on his face, she quickly shrank to the other end of the sofa like a guilty Tiantian who had done something wrong. At the same time, she greeted him with a smile and asked: Why don't you go and check if your phone is okay?

Feng Xue nodded and said: It would be better to let us take half a day off. Would you like to have lunch in the restaurant?

Xu Wei immediately agreed: Okay, I think the Western-style restaurant and bar near the beach is good. Mr. Jia is going to have dinner with his employees today. Do you mind if I act as a third wheel for a while?

Before Ruan Tang could say anything, Feng Xue shook her head and asked how that could be.

When they walked out of the room, Ruan Tang finally understood why Feng Xue looked so unhappy. No wonder he answered Xu Wei's question so quickly. After all, one more light bulb is always better.

Zhang Haoyu was standing at the elevator entrance, leaning against the railing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the other side, looking down at his phone. When he heard footsteps, he immediately looked up, then showed his signature smile and said: I thought I was the only third wheel. I was a little embarrassed, but fortunately Sister Xu Wei was here too.

Xu Wei had already ordered quite a lot, from teppanyaki to pizza and steak. Zhang Haoyu took the menu and added to it. Ruan Tang looked at the way he was ordering and seemed to want to just throw the menu on the table and order a big order.

Ruan Tang held the fork as if facing a great enemy, and asked the waiter in front of him who would pay. Zhang Haoyu glanced at Feng Xue and said with a smile: I'll pay, I'll pay. Do you think I'm the kind of person who eats and drinks for free?

Before serving the dishes, the waiter brought four servings of basil bread with roasted garlic. The whole head of garlic was roasted until slightly browned, and it exuded a fragrant aroma even with the skin on.

Ruan Tang picked up the roasted garlic and was about to squeeze it on the bread, but Feng Xue seemed to have caught her thoughts in an instant, confiscated the roasted garlic from her hand, and said: You drank too much yesterday, and your stomach is fragile. Don't eat such irritating things for now.

"Enjoy life to the fullest when you are happy," Zhang Haoyu handed Ruan Tang half of the bread spread with roasted garlic and said: I think she looks very good today. After all, she is still young, so her body shouldn't be that fragile, right?

Ruan Tang didn't want to refuse directly, so she took the bread and said to Feng Xue with a smile: Just eat a little, it's okay.

"By the way, why don't we go surfing after dinner?" Ruan Tang's brain was working at full speed, trying to change the subject and dispel the crackling sparks that burst out when their eyes met. After saying this, she quickly winked at Xu Wei.

Xu Wei nodded and said: Surfing is also good, I haven’t tried it yet.

Zhang Haoyu's eyes lit up instantly, and he nodded frantically in agreement: "Okay, I like surfing, and today happens to be my birthday." As he said this, he returned to his little boy state.

"It's your birthday?" Ruan Tang was shocked. "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Would you have helped me celebrate if I had told you earlier?"

Ruan Tang glanced at Feng Xue who was sitting right across from her, pursed her lips and said: Then you should play with your good friend Jiang Li today.

"She said she wanted to sleep," Zhang Haoyu shrugged, then looked at Feng Xue and asked, "Brother Xue, what did you buy for Sister Tang's birthday?" It seems that all the big brands have released new bags.

Ruan Tang thought of the diamond that was so small that it was almost negligible, and was about to ask for compensation for him, but Feng Xue took over the conversation and smiled faintly: I didn’t give you anything.

As he spoke, he looked at Ruan Tang and smiled: Moreover, some time ago, the investor of the coffee shop came to the store and said that he was optimistic about Xiaotang's business acumen and planned to invest money to help her expand the store. He said that he wanted to rent a single-family house in Sanlitun. When the time comes, I plan to concentrate on closing the tavern and not run errands and deliveries anymore. I will concentrate on helping her run the store and take care of her, and be her good wife. What do you think, Xiaotang?

Ruan Tang's eyes widened at first, then she forced a smile and cooperated: I really can't expand the business by myself.

It turns out that men understand men best, and old men know best how to piss off little boys. Feng Xue's indifferent smile is full of self-confidence that comes from being spoiled. That expression seems to be saying: She just loves me, and she loves me even though I'm a gigolo. What can you do?

Sure enough, Zhang Haoyu's face changed unpredictably, from bright to dark. He swallowed the remaining half of the roasted garlic with the bread, said: I'm full, call me when you go surfing later, then got up and left quickly.

"Hey..." Ruan Tang shouted at his back, then noticed Feng Xue was looking at her and quickly added: "You haven't paid yet..."

Xu Wei suppressed her laughter and patted Ruan Tang's arm, saying: It's okay, I'll pay for it. He needs some quiet time.

In the second half of the meal, Ruan Tang really felt uncomfortable in her stomach. It felt like there was a wall-breaking machine in her stomach churning wildly. She covered her stomach and said she wanted to go to the toilet. Seeing that she didn't look well, Xu Wei followed her.

They were gone for nearly half an hour. When Ruan Tang came out of the toilet, holding onto the wall, she thought that she shouldn't have eaten so wildly just now, otherwise she wouldn't be weaker than when she just woke up in the morning.

Xu Wei took her arm and returned to the restaurant. From a distance, Ruan Tang saw Feng Xue holding her cell phone and seemed to be deep in thought.

All the pores on her body tightened instantly. She shook off Xu Wei and walked briskly back to the dining table. She stared at the phone in his hand and asked hesitantly: What...are you doing?

Feng Xue raised her head, looked at her and smiled, then asked, "Are you okay? Or should I go buy some medicine for you later?"

Ruan Tang snatched the phone away, but before she had time to look down at it, she heard Feng Xue say: The waiter just came over and said he needed to pay the bill first. It just so happened that I opened a family card for you before, so I'll use yours to pay.

She felt her ears buzzing. Feng Xue said this whole sentence, but she only received a few words of information in fragments: relative card, money.

Because she saw at the top of the dialog box, there was a group with Zhang Haoyu and herself. Zhang Haoyu transferred 10,000 yuan in the group with the note that it was lunch money, but she ended up returning it.

In other words…

Feng Xue avoided her gaze, stood up, looked at Xu Wei and asked, "Have you finished eating? Or should we go back and rest for a while before going surfing?"

Xu Wei looked at Ruan Tang's expression and seemed to have guessed most of what was going on. She forced a smile and said: Okay.

On the way back to the room, Ruan Tang followed Feng Xue, watching the warm sunlight making his shadow look extremely tall, but she always felt that his figure revealed a sense of loneliness. She made up a thousand explanations in her mind.

The moment she opened the door, Ruan Tang took a deep breath and said: I'm sorry, actually...

She didn't expect Feng Xue to turn around and hug her.

He bent down slightly, pressing the weight of his upper body on her and burying his face in her hair, which made her suddenly feel heavy and solid. Her heart, which had been beating so fast in her throat, slowly returned to its original position.

"It must be very hard for you to endure?" he asked in a muffled voice.

"Ah?" Ruan Tang was stunned for a moment, then hummed softly.
