Chapter 94 An Optimistic Little Girl
Yu Jiu glanced dejectedly at the beans in his hand, then turned around and shoved them back into Mei Jie's hands.
"Forget it, my teeth aren't good. You can crack these beans, Sister Mei."
Sister Mei: "..."
These young girls, saying they have bad teeth, aren't they just after Luo Jiayin's unique and delicious food?
Sister Mei chuckled softly and shook her head helplessly.
Seriously.
Spending a lot of time with them, Sister Mei even felt as if she had returned to her younger days, so energetic and vibrant.
Yu Jiu was reluctant to eat beans, but Sister Mei ate them with great enjoyment. The group in Luo Jiayin's lounge were eating, drinking, chatting, and laughing, having a wonderful time.
Yang Yang, the chatterbox, was removing Luo Jiayin's makeup at the moment, and couldn't stop talking about when Lin Manxi "showed off her tea ceremony" and what she saw when she and her colleagues from the makeup department were waiting backstage to touch up the guests' makeup.
When things got interesting, Yang Yang even did a "Lin Manxi impersonation show" himself.
Luo Jiayin looked at Yang Yang through the makeup mirror.
She was seen covering her chest with one hand, looking as if she was about to cry, and her eyes were slightly red.
Her other hand hung at her side, clenched into a fist, as if she was trying her best to suppress something.
Yu Jiu burst into laughter at Yang Yang's antics, completely forgetting his "deep-seated hatred" for Yang Yang having given Luo Jiayin the food all to herself.
Luo Jiayin was surprised for a moment, then it was as if a sudden inspiration flashed in her mind.
She turned around and stared at Yang Yang with great interest.
"Girl, has anyone ever told you that you're like a drama queen?" Luo Jiayin asked jokingly.
Yang Yang didn't stand on ceremony and immediately patted his chest, a hint of pride on his face.
"Haha, that's a must!"
“Teacher Luo Jia, let me tell you, when I was a child in our orphanage, I was the most popular person.”
"Back then, everyone loved playing house, but they all said that playing with me was the most fun."
"You have no idea, I was practically the king of the kids in our area back then!"
Yang Yang, seemingly oblivious to everything, was still happily recounting her childhood "great achievements" to Luo Jiayin, completely unaware that Luo Jiayin frowned almost imperceptibly when she heard her words.
Yu Jiu, however, keenly noticed Luo Jiayin's little action and then spoke up on Luo Jiayin's behalf to ask Yang Yang what was on her mind.
Before she could even open her mouth, Sister Mei, who was sitting next to her, quietly nudged Yu Jiu's arm with her elbow.
Yu Jiu turned her head in confusion to look at Sister Mei, only to see Sister Mei give her a "don't talk" look. Then Sister Mei looked at Yang Yang, casually popping a bean into her mouth, and started talking as if it were just a casual chat.
"Yang Yang, did you often go to the orphanage when you were little? You're such a young girl, but I didn't expect you to have such a kind heart."
After Sister Mei finished speaking, Yu Jiu seemed to have suddenly had a revelation.
As expected, old ginger is spicier!
She truly lives up to the reputation of Ms. Wang Aimei, whom they have "long admired"!
Look at what they're saying, that's incredibly insightful!
Otherwise, Yu Jiu actually wanted to ask a really annoying question like, "Are you an orphan?"
Comparing Ms. Wang Aimei's statement just now, both questions were about whether Yang Yang was an orphan, but Ms. Mei's indirect approach was obviously much better than Ms. Wang's blunt question!
Firstly, it resolved their confusion, and secondly, Mei Jie's more tactful way of asking the question wouldn't make Yang Yang feel too embarrassed, making it easier for her to accept.
After all, Yang Yang is a beautiful young girl who is very concerned about her image. If someone were to ask her so bluntly, "Are you an orphan?", it's hard to guarantee that she wouldn't feel uncomfortable.
Yu Jiu glanced at Sister Mei, his eyes filled with admiration and respect.
If it weren't for the fact that they were in front of Yang Yang, Yu Jiu would have immediately given Sister Mei a thumbs up.
They just didn't expect that Sister Mei would ask so cautiously, but Yang Yang's face showed absolutely no sign of unease.
Yang Yang turned to Sister Mei and shook his head decisively.
“Sister Mei, you’ve misunderstood. I didn’t go to the orphanage often when I was little; I lived in the orphanage.”
"The adults at the orphanage said that I was picked up in the middle of the night. They were passing by on the road when they vaguely heard a baby crying. They were quite startled at first, haha."
"Later, an older man mustered up the courage to go and see, and that's when he discovered me wrapped in a baby blanket, placed in a cardboard box on the side of the road."
"At the time, they thought that maybe one of the families favored boys over girls, and when they saw that it was a girl, they didn't want her anymore and threw her out. So, from childhood to adulthood, I didn't even know what my parents looked like."
"The only person I remember is the handsome uncle who took me in and came to see me often. Sigh, he was probably only in his early twenties back then. He stopped coming later."
"I wonder how the handsome uncle is doing now, whether he's still as handsome as he used to be, and whether I could repay him with my body or something."
Yu Jiu: "..."
Sister Mei: "..."
"Pfft!"
Yu Jiu suddenly burst out laughing, and she quickly raised her hand to cover her mouth, her shoulders shaking violently.
It wasn't that Yu Jiu intentionally laughed rudely when Yang Yang was talking about such a heavy topic; it's just that Yu Jiu has a low threshold for laughter, which is a well-known fact.
Just a moment ago, when she heard Yang Yang say that she wanted to "repay" the handsome older man with her body, she really thought... Yang Yang's personality was really interesting.
When Luo Jiayin saw Yang Yang openly discussing his background without any hesitation, and seeing that he showed no signs of inferiority or sadness, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, given her experiences over the years and the unique people she's been around due to her special identity, Luo Jiayin hasn't seen a girl as innocent and optimistic as Yang Yang in a very long time.
Both times I saw Yang Yang on the show "Hold On to the Villain's Script," she had a bright smile on her face, looking like she had grown up carefree and had a happy family.
If Yang Yang hadn't told Luo Jiayin, she would have found it hard to believe that Yang Yang's background was so heartbreaking.
If it was really as those people in the orphanage had guessed—that Yang Yang's parents abandoned her because she was a girl instead of a boy—Luo Jiayin felt that such people's thinking was simply outrageous, even absurd!
