Seeing He Yubai's blank expression, Meng Jing asked, "You don't know how to fish?"
He Yubai pondered for a moment before speaking, "Should I...?"
Meng Jing: "..."
Jiang Mian: "..."
Great, this day has been killed off.
Jiang Mian stepped in to smooth things over: "My classmate is a rich second-generation heir. If he wants to eat fish, a chef will cook it and serve it to him. Why would he need to catch it himself?"
The gap between the rich and the poor!
This is a clear example of the gap between the rich and the poor!
Before Jiang Mian reminded him, Meng Jing's first impression of He Yubai was that this boy looked quite elegant.
She was very tall and had fair skin, but her every move didn't make her look effeminate; on the contrary, she exuded a subtle air of nobility.
Although Meng Jing always joked that he was a country bumpkin from a small town and hadn't seen much of the world.
People tend to become more rebellious as they get older, but at least he managed to get into university through his own efforts.
Crossing different platforms will broaden one's horizons and perspectives to a certain extent.
As one's knowledge level is enhanced, one's spiritual life will also become richer.
The university is like half of society, where all kinds of people gather together. Because of their family backgrounds, there are already invisible constraints that divide everyone into different classes.
What Meng Jing saw outside was the unchanging vulgarity of those nouveau riche.
It's like those self-important people who, apart from having a mouth that talks big, are all dwarfs in action.
A truly noble person is one who is free-spirited and does not become arrogant or complacent because of great wealth, nor does he feel the world is ending because of the loss of something.
The so-called noble air probably comes from the confidence that comes with one's status and family background.
Jiang Mian may not have provided a precise introduction, which led to He Yubai being given the title of "rich second generation".
These days, this kind of title has become synonymous with a derogatory term.
Although Meng Jing felt that He Yubai didn't have many of the bad habits of rich kids, she still didn't have a good impression of him because of that title.
Especially when she saw that He Yubai seemed to have no mouth and needed Jiang Mian to step in and smooth things over.
This caused his impression of the rich second-generation man surnamed He to drop even further.
"What's so difficult about fishing? We have tools to help us now, and we don't have to fish in the river with our bare hands like savages."
Although Meng Jing smiled on the surface, he sneered inwardly.
What a pampered young master who never lifts a finger! I refuse to believe that catching a fish will cost you a piece of flesh!
You can't fish, can you?
Then I'll insist that you go and catch it!
Meng Jing's desire to be a sister (or brother) had taken hold, and he even secretly criticized Mianmian for her poor taste.
While it's true that finding a rich man is great, a man should be upright and proper. What kind of behavior is this, acting all delicate and precious?
Thinking this, Meng Jing thoughtfully added again, "It's okay if you don't know how to catch them, I'm here, I promise to teach you!"
A question mark slowly appeared on He Yubai's forehead: ?
He couldn't help but turn to look at Jiang Mian, as if asking with his eyes: What's going on here?
Jiang Mian gestured with her eyes to reply: How should I know!
It goes without saying that it's understandable that the aunt would worry herself sick over her two children.
As Meng Jingge grew older, his personality became increasingly inexplicable.
Especially now!
For no reason at all, they always like to bring up photos of him wearing skirts when he was little!
Everyone makes silly mistakes when they're young!
Jiang Mian gritted her teeth inwardly. She had treated the other person like a good older brother when they were young, but she never expected that the other person would treat her like a sucker.
Being tricked into wearing women's clothes when I was a child wasn't a big deal.
But when he saw the photo again after he grew up, he felt it was a great disgrace!
He has dignity, you know!
Moreover, Meng Jing always brings up words like "women's clothing" and "skirts".
Those memories of dressing as Jiang Wan in women's clothing came flooding back, making Jiang Mian so embarrassed that she wanted to turn into a screaming chicken on the spot!
Seeing the two of them exchanging glances, Meng Jing maintained a cold expression throughout, then suddenly asked, "He, are you going or not?"
"I……"
He Yubai couldn't resist looking at Jiang Mian again.
"I'm asking you, why have you been staring at Mianmian?"
Meng Jing added another mark to his mental note: Indecisive! Can't make decisions! Thumbs down!
He Yubai wasn't stupid; seeing the other party bring up this matter again and again, he was able to figure it out.
The other party's meaning was clear: they insisted that I had to go!
But he was confused. Why did they have to bring him along when they were catching fish, and why did they have to teach him how to fish?
Are these all local traditions, customs that outsiders have to follow?
Are you going or not?
He Yubai asked Jiang Mian.
"I……"
“Of course Mianmian will go,” Meng Jing answered for him. “When we were little, every time we went fishing, he would stand guard on the shore with the fish basket, waiting for me to come back with the fish I caught.”
Recalling the times they went fishing together when they were children, Meng Jing couldn't help but show a longing expression on his face.
"I still remember how much Mianmian loved to follow me around. Every time I surfaced from the river and showed off the fish I'd caught in my net, he'd jump for joy on the bank, shouting, 'Brother Mengjing is so amazing...'"
"Alright, alright," Jiang Mian quickly stopped him from continuing, "I'll go! I'll go, okay!"
He was utterly ashamed. Could Meng Jing have majored in performing arts in college?
