Chapter 68 Tacit Understanding
Why are they so dirty and their feet wet? It's all because of her.
So she forced a smile, a sweet one: "I am the one who is embarrassed. I am sorry, Mr. Shao, your clothes are wet. It is winter, you will catch a cold. Why don't you go home and change your clothes, bring this set of clothes over, and I will wash them for you and send them over?"
She felt it was the right thing to do out of courtesy.
But she just said it, she thought normal people would generally say no.
After all, running back and forth is quite troublesome.
However, the person opposite her suddenly smiled at her more politely.
The clear laughter was as gentle as a spring breeze: "Okay, thank you for your help."
"How can that be possible? I..."
Jiang Xue hadn't finished her polite words before she realized what he had said and was immediately dumbfounded.
ha?
She glanced at him.
In front of her, Shao Yang pinched the hem of his clothes and twisted it hard.
The water drops fell to the ground with a "splash", reminding Jiang Xue that she was the culprit.
Jiang Xuegang's depressed mood was instantly covered by guilt.
"Okay...then, go change it." Jiang Xue said.
Shao Yang caught a glimpse of her depressed expression, and there was a slight gleam of smile hidden in his gentle eyes.
Hearing her call him Mr. Shao right from the start, Shao Yang realized that Peng Yu must have told them about this, so he deliberately said, "I forgot to ask, is there any request in the package that Peng Yu sent to you?"
Isn't it just about blind dates?
Jiang Xue looked at him and said, "You don't know?"
Shao Yang shook his head.
Jiang Xue felt that he was an old fox, a smiling tiger.
My cousin said it all in the letter. He had agreed to come and see me, so how could I not tell him?
You haven't taken the initiative to visit with any gifts yet, but you still expect the girl's family to take the initiative to bring it up?
Bah, her daughter Zizi can’t get married.
So she smiled and said, "Nothing much, just some food."
What to eat?
Shao Yang exposed her: "Then how do you know my last name is Shao?"
Jiang Xue reacted very quickly and immediately found an excuse: "Oh, I was talking to my brother on the phone before, and he mentioned a few times that he had an old comrade named Shao Yang, who looked gentle but didn't look like a good person. As soon as I saw you, I knew he was the right person."
As soon as his mouth opened, he spoke out what was in his heart.
Shao Yang's gentle and smiling face rarely showed a trace of cracks.
Old comrade?
Not like a good person?
Jiang Xue finished talking before she realized what she had said. She subconsciously covered her mouth and looked at Shao Yang with innocent eyes.
"Well, that's what my brother said. My brother is such a bad guy. How could he say bad things about his comrades behind their backs? You are obviously not that kind of person."
Seeing him all wet, Jiang Xue felt guilty again.
Even the honorific "you" was used.
Shao Yang smiled: "Really?"
"Yes." Jiang Xue nodded vigorously.
Shao Yang asked: "Then how did you match mine with your brother's description?"
Jiang Xue: "...Sven?"
She racked her brains to recall the words she had just said, and finally found a word in that passage that was considered a good word.
Shao Yang decided not to tease her anymore: "Okay, then I'll go back and change my clothes, you wait for me."
"Okay." Jiang Xue watched him leave and continued cleaning.
I also have to wash his clothes, how annoying.
On the other hand, Shen Cheng had no reason to treat her illness, but she thought of what he had promised her.
Said he wanted to teach her self-defense.
So he came to the clinic today.
Unexpectedly, she happened to meet her brother telling Grandpa Zhang about her illness.
"Is she sick?" Shen Cheng pulled Jiang Cheng aside and asked.
Jiang Cheng glanced at him and said, "Comrade, who are you?"
Shen Cheng realized his impoliteness and quickly let go of her hand, explaining, "I am Dr. Jiang's patient."
Jiang Cheng cried out, "You may have to wait a few more days. My sister has had this disease since she was born. She is weak and may have to rest for several days."
Jiang Cheng just treated Shen Cheng as an ordinary patient and didn't say any unnecessary words to him. He just walked out after he finished speaking.
Shen Cheng chased after him again: "How is Doctor Jiang's illness? Is it serious? Does he need treatment..."
Jiang Cheng turned around and looked at him.
"Why are you asking so many questions?"
Shen Cheng knew that he was too eager, but he couldn't control it.
Afraid that Jiang Cheng might notice something, Shen Cheng made an excuse: "I still have some questions about my illness and need to consult Doctor Jiang."
This made Jiang Cheng angry.
His sister is already lying in bed. Even if she is just a patient, he can't be so selfish considering that his sister is treating him, right?
All I could think about was my own illness.
Pooh.
So Jiang Cheng said fiercely: "Then you wait patiently."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Shen Cheng stayed where he was and sighed deeply.
If only he had a longer vacation, he would have more time to show his abilities, and he wouldn't be afraid of her knowing his thoughts.
But now, he will be going back in a few days, but the other party is still at the stage where she is bothered by his age and has no feelings for him at all.
He and Jiang Cheng were going in opposite directions.
Unable to get any useful information, Shen Cheng could only turn around and go back.
Arriving at the intersection, Shen Cheng saw a man with dirty face but a weird smile.
"Are you possessed?" Shen Cheng almost thought he had seen the wrong person.
Hearing the familiar voice, Shao Yang turned around to look at him, and the smile on his face faded completely.
He raised an eyebrow: "Why are you here?"
"To cure the disease." He gritted his teeth.
"Oh? To cure an illness?" Shao Yang almost forgot what Shen Cheng said. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Are you curing an illness, or are you looking for an excuse to get close to the girl?"
Shen Cheng glanced at him with an unclear expression.
Shao Yang continued, "Look at your stinky face? Have you hit your head against the wall?"
Shen Cheng lifted his eyelids and squinted at him: "Do you want to look in the mirror and see what you look like now? How dare you criticize me?"
"That's different." Shao Yang wiped the dirty water off his face and chuckled, "This is the red thread of the matchmaker."
Shen Cheng snorted coldly and mocked Shao Yang: "Why didn't Yue Lao use cement and steel bars as red lines to smash you to death?"
Shao Yang is neither a playboy nor an irresponsible person.
Since he promised Pengyu to meet his sister, he would not have any contact with anyone else during this period.
Judging from his behavior, he has fallen in love with Sister Pengyu.
"You don't understand. Beating is affection, scolding is love."
Shao Yang said as a matter of course: "Because of this careless action, the little girl will have to wash my clothes herself."
Seeing his proud look, Shen Cheng wanted to roll his eyes: "In the middle of winter, you let a little girl wash your clothes, and you're still proud of it?"
Shao Yang was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses and forgot about it.
He approached Shen Cheng, who was afraid of being stained by the dirty water on his body, so he took a few steps back and said, "Stay away."
He did not hide his disgust.
Shao Yang spread his hands: "I'll go back and tell her it's not necessary."
Seeing that Shen Cheng's expression was not very pretty, he suppressed the refusal in his heart and asked him, "Were you really rejected?"
This time I care.
But Shen Cheng was a little annoyed: "You are such an old guy, nine years older than Sister Pengyu, why don't they mind that you are old?"
Shao Yang was silent. He felt disgusted. How could he not feel disgusted?
I just said that I had contacted my old comrade.
But he would never say this in front of Shen Cheng.
"If you were more patient, a little nicer and more considerate to others, you should have a chance to catch up with her despite your sullen face."
"So Sister Pengyu is interested in you?"
"Soon, the little girl is shy, give her time to adjust."
