"What are you two talking about again?" Shen Ying looked at the two of them with great suspicion.
"Nothing, nothing," Wang Ming said, shaking his head vigorously.
He didn't have Jiang Xia's abilities. Ever since he realized he had feelings for Shen Ying, he would sometimes blush when he saw her, but he also really wanted to attract her attention.
Jiang Xia lightly mocked his best friend, not intending to expose his secret, and then looked at his wife, taking her hand as if no one else was around, which made Wang Ming envious.
"Let's go eat."
The four of them headed to the cafeteria. As usual, the two girls found seats while the boys lined up to get their food.
"How long are you planning to drag this out? Until after the college entrance exam? Shen Ying is so pretty, there are plenty of people who like her. By then, there will probably be a long line to confess to her," Jiang Xia continued to stir things up.
“I know that, but I just can’t say it.” Wang Ming hesitated for a long time before continuing, “There’s a saying that goes, ‘Liking someone doesn’t necessarily mean you have to be with her. As long as she’s happy, that’s enough.’”
Jiang Xia was dumbfounded. What kind of ultimate sycophantic mentality was this?
"So, you're happy just seeing her lying in other men's arms, being kissed and touched?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Ming's face instantly turned green.
He clutched his chest and said, "No, brother, please don't say that. Just thinking about that scene makes my heart ache."
Seeing his good brother's reaction, Jiang Xia secretly breathed a sigh of relief; there was still hope.
"Let me tell you, if you love her, you have to get her. Kiss her, touch her hand, hug her. If you secretly like her like a mouse in a dark corner, that's called unrequited love. If you don't say it out loud, the girl will never know how you feel."
"Forced kisses, holding hands, hugs—is this how you won over your sister-in-law?" Wang Ming's expression was strange. How come this shameless scoundrel wasn't beaten to death on the spot?
"Of course not, Yan Wan and I are deeply in love and it's a two-way street," Jiang Xia said righteously.
"Then what are you talking about? This question is way beyond my level. I don't know how to do it." Wang Ming couldn't help but roll his eyes. If he really followed his method, Shen Ying would probably hate him for the rest of her life.
"What do you think? Does Shen Ying have feelings for you?"
Wang Ming sighed: "I don't know. Logically speaking, she does. She usually asks me to get her food, and she hits me hard when she hits me. But when I chat with her on QQ, she's a bit indifferent. I have no idea what she's thinking."
Jiang Xia's face twitched slightly. This description made Shen Ying sound like a girl with a high level of skill, definitely treating Wang Ming as a long-term meal ticket.
But the Shen Ying he remembered wasn't that kind of person, and students in this era were relatively simple and honest, not as cunning as those in later generations. So it was very likely that there was really no chance, and he completely regarded Wang Ming as a sister.
"Old Jiang, you're experienced. Do you think she has feelings for me?"
Jiang Xia sighed and patted his good friend on the shoulder: "Don't give up. Look on the bright side. So many people like her, why would she only ask you to help her get food?"
"Why?"
"When you get her food, do you use her meal card or your own?"
"It's mine. Although she gave me the meal card, I've never used it."
Seeing his satisfied expression as he devoted himself to love, Jiang Xia's breath hitched. Could Shen Ying really be a girl with extremely high skills?
Now he really needs to have his wife test him properly; he can't let his good friend get dragged into this mess again.
"Okay, just stay calm and don't rush. The college entrance exam is coming up soon anyway, so we can talk about it after the exam. Maybe that's what she thinks too."
"good."
After the two finished getting their food, they were looking for someone in the lobby when they saw Shen Ying waving at them.
Thanks.
Shen Ying took the cute little porcelain bowl and meal card from Wang Ming and casually asked, "Idiot, how much money do I have left on my card? There probably isn't much left."
Wang Ming scratched his head: "I forgot."
She frowned slightly: "You haven't been useless all this time, have you?"
"Hmm, it's okay, it doesn't cost much to buy food."
Shen Ying suddenly stopped talking and ate her food in silence. Jiang Xia noticed this and secretly kicked Lin Yanwan's shoe heel. The latter immediately understood what he meant.
What classes do you have this afternoon?
"Chinese, English, History."
"We are politics, history, and language."
The couple chatted casually, but Wang Ming's mind was entirely on Shen Ying. However, he didn't know why she suddenly stopped talking, so he had to awkwardly chime in.
"Sister-in-law, I heard from Lao Jiang that you're doing voice acting for his animations? I'm really curious about what you're doing."
"It's just some background music," Lin Yanwan said casually.
Jiang Xia immediately corrected him: "It's clearly the voice acting that captures the soul of the animation."
"Yanwan, are you still making animations?" Shen Ying suddenly asked.
Lin Yanwan nodded: "Jiang Xia did the work; I only did some post-production dubbing."
"That's amazing! Starting to make animation in high school? I wouldn't even dare to dream of that." Shen Ying stuck out her tongue. "By the way, can I take a look?"
Lin Yanwan looked at Jiang Xia and smiled slightly: "It's a secret for now, but if you can join our team, it's not out of the question."
Shen Ying frowned: "Join the team? But I don't know anything about it. Does just watching anime count?"
"Calculate."
Wang Ming's eyes widened. Why did he have to draw dozens of original drawings every day after joining, while pretty girls only had to watch animations? Did being good-looking mean they could do whatever they wanted?
"Watching anime is only one aspect, but I have another hard requirement."
"What are the conditions?" Shen Ying answered subconsciously.
Do you have a computer at home?
"some."
"I'll give you some pictures and videos. Your task is to share animation-related information on websites like QQ Space, Baidu Tieba, Tianya Community, and Weibo every day," Jiang Xia said after careful consideration.
Although his idea was to sell the first-run rights to Tom and Jerry to television stations, the price per episode could be much higher if there was already a certain amount of online discussion before it aired.
"Simply put, it's just advertising, right? I know the other websites, but what is Weibo?"
Jiang Xia was stunned for a moment before realizing that Weibo at this time had not yet started its internal testing. The information on the Chinese internet was still very chaotic, unlike in later years when as long as you had money to buy a trending topic, the information could spread across the entire internet in the shortest amount of time.
"Well, it's just those websites anyway. I don't require you to be online all the time, just post 10 times a day on each of the major websites."
Shen Ying's tone changed, and she said with a smile, "In that case, does that mean I'm working for you two?"
"Yes, but the wages will be owed to us first, and the wages are not high. It's 10 yuan a day, 300 yuan a month, and the wages will be settled monthly."
