30 Urban dating anti-addiction guide
Ni Yue tiptoed into Zhang Chenling's room and quietly climbed onto the bed.
Her eyes were fixed on the faint light between the curtains, and she had no desire to sleep at all.
Along with the light, bursts of noise came into the room.
A group of young people came to the Shanghai old alley style hotel across the street to have a party.
The crisp sound of wine glasses colliding reached her ears, and she seemed to smell the scent of alcohol.
I turned over and saw my cousin with her back to me, motionless like a mountain, as if she was still angry.
Her throat tightened, and she couldn't help but move closer and called out like a cat, "Cousin?"
The mountain moved only slightly, or perhaps it didn't move at all and she was just dazzled. In short, Zhang Chenling was sleeping soundly and hadn't turned over.
After watching for a while, Ni Yue sighed softly and lay back on his pillow, feeling very confused.
It is expected that her cousin will not calm down for a while. She has to take a long bath tomorrow and appear on the official media's interview program the day after tomorrow. How should she get along with her cousin?
It’s embarrassing to think about it.
There is no need to worry about Wu Xia next door. Ever since Ni Yue entered puberty, she has been arguing with her mother for every day. Fortunately, the mother and daughter do not hold grudges overnight and are used to minor quarrels.
However, Wu Xia is now limping, and the longer she stays in Shanghai, the higher the probability of friction. It is possible that the two of them will quarrel in front of her cousin again one day.
Hey! Why is it so annoying?
Ni Yue turned over again and rested his head heavily on one of his arms.
Out of the corner of my eye I noticed that the phone screen was actually on, with a dense string of WeChat message reminders on it.
Before entering the house, she turned her phone to silent mode for fear of disturbing Zhang Chenling.
When I opened them, I saw that they were all sent by Chen Yuang.
This guy sent more than a dozen messages within two minutes:
Hey, are you home yet?
When baby gets home, please reply to my WeChat message.
By the way, there is antifreeze gel inside the eye mask, which can be used to freeze the layer.
Not home yet?
?
? ?
If you don’t reply to my message, I’m going to call the police!
???
…
She quickly replied: I'm here, just saw it, and am getting ready to go to bed.
Chen Yuang replied immediately with "good night", followed by a string of emoji kiss expressions.
Ni Yue grinned and chuckled silently. He was about to reply good night, but then he changed his mind and added the same string of kiss emojis.
The moment you click send, your thumb stays on the top of the screen.
Another idea came to her mind, instructing her to delete all the kisses and replace them with a toothless smile.
Although she had a love experience before, she was obsessed with love and her vanity took over, so it started hastily and ended in a bloody way.
This time, she decided to be more sober and take it slow.
The first rule of the urban dating anti-addiction guide: physical intimacy can be completely deconstructed as "the product of a specific atmosphere." Hugging and kissing do not mean that two people are in love. Girls must give themselves time to review their feelings and not rush into confirming a relationship.
——Running to the Moon "Love and Night on Changle Road"
The next morning, before Wu Xia and her son next door got up, Zhang Chenling and Ni Yue had already left.
In order to leave enough time for the interview program on Friday, Zhang Chenling changed a bathing assistance order originally scheduled for Friday to Thursday, so they had to visit three clients in Pudong and Puxi that day.
Ni Yue followed Zhang Chenling silently. The latter had a cold attitude on her face since she got up, which discouraged her from taking the initiative to break the ice - Humph, you use cold violence, but I am colder than you, so who is afraid of who?
When she reached the entrance of the alley, Zhang Chenling came to the scallion pancake shop and, as usual, bought two scallion pancakes with eggs and two cups of soy milk. Then, she turned around and handed one to Ni Yue who was following behind her.
There was no verbal communication, no eye contact.
His hand reached out to Ni Yue, but his gaze passed over her face and looked at Xu Zhiqian who was a few meters away.
He was sitting in the van he had just rented that morning, looking left and right to familiarize himself with the vehicle.
"Hey, have you had breakfast? Do you want scallion pancakes and soy milk?" Zhang Chenling asked him loudly.
"No, I have it!" He answered through the windshield, and worried that Zhang Chenling couldn't hear him clearly, he picked up a small plastic bag and shook it at her.
He had already had breakfast before going out, but the aroma of scallion pancakes aroused his appetite again, so he bought two for himself and had half of one left.
A smile appeared on Zhang Chenling's lips, but the next second she suddenly felt her hands sore. She moved her eyes back to the area under her eyelids and found that Ni Yue didn't take the breakfast in her hand at all.
Turning around, I saw the woman standing in front of the scallion pancake stall buying one for herself.
Zhang Chenling's face suddenly darkened. She turned around and got into the van in two steps. She handed the breakfast she bought for Ni Yue to Xu Zhiqian.
Close the car door casually.
Xu Zhiqian was stunned by this abnormal operation. He hesitated for a moment, and seeing that she looked unhappy, he took the soy milk and drank a sip, not daring to ask more questions.
Soon, Ni Yue came over with the breakfast he bought.
She also looked annoyed. She opened the passenger door and sat in without even looking.
"Ouch! What is that!"
My butt was hit by a hard object.
"Oh, sorry, it's my book!"
Xu Zhiqian quickly put down the breakfast in his hand, wiped his hands with a tissue, and carefully took out a big book from under Ni Yue's butt.
"Hey, isn't this the one Professor Xu gave you?"
Ni Yue had sharp eyes and recognized at a glance that this thick book with a light yellow cover was the academic work that Professor Xu's daughter helped her "publish".
"Why did you put this book in the car?" she asked curiously.
Xu Zhiqian looked embarrassed and said, "I thought I'd take a look while I was waiting for you this morning."
"What? Do you still want to go back to your old job?" Ni Yue asked while eating a scallion pancake.
"No, I was just looking around!" Xu Zhiqian flatly denied.
For the first time ever, the sisters didn't spend the entire day together.
They always maintain a polite distance of more than one meter. Even if they need to help each other during the bathing process, they avoid each other's eyes and use extremely concise popcorn-style communication, "here", "here", "water", "OK", "Yes", "No", "stop", "good"... one word at a time.
Xu Zhiqian saw this and couldn't help wondering, why are these two women who are always so affectionate like conjoined twins having such an unhappy relationship?
Is it just because of the car accident yesterday?
There is no need for that!
However, when he thought about it carefully, he felt that the two sisters were quite funny.
Being able to communicate seamlessly in such a simple way shows that the tacit understanding between them is unmatched!
…
The busy day ended quickly.
When the van stopped at the entrance of the alley on Xiangyang South Road again, it was already evening and the three people in the car were exhausted.
"Should we rehearse tomorrow's interview program in advance?" Xu Zhiqian turned his head and asked Zhang Chenling.
"No need. Let's just talk about our own things. We're all independent individuals anyway. There's no need to strive for unanimous opinions. Just say whatever you want."
Zhang Chenling said lightly.
"Oh?" Xu Zhiqian was quite surprised by this answer. He wondered if he hadn't properly prepared for such a big event as appearing in the official media? Could it be that Zhang Chenling had lost focus on serious matters because she was angry with her cousin?
I unconsciously glanced at Ni Yue who was sitting in the passenger seat, and saw that her face was as red as a monkey's butt and her mouth was pouting high.
His two thick eyebrows were twisted into a knot unconsciously. Xu Zhiqian couldn't understand what the two sisters were competing for.
Zhang Chenling noticed his grim expression and patiently explained, "I've thought about it carefully. We don't really need to speak with one voice. We all joined the bathing assistance cause because of our own fate. Everyone has different reasons, motivations, and feelings. This is an objective fact. And I believe that sincerity, not embellished rhetoric, is what touches people most. So tomorrow, let's speak freely and share what's really in our hearts!"
"Oh, that makes sense!" Xu Zhiqian was convinced by her and his expression relaxed.
Ni Yue, who was sitting next to her, didn't say a word, but she also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that her cousin didn't choose to skip the rehearsal because she was angry with her. She felt relieved, and quietly put one hand on the car door handle, ready to get out.
"Oh, by the way," Zhang Chenling added, "Xiao Ma Ge will also be here tomorrow. He will meet us directly at the Media Port."
Upon hearing this, Ni Yue's face cleared of gloom and he excitedly turned around to confirm with Zhang Chenling, "Really?! Xiao Ma Ge is coming too?!"
The moment their eyes met, she immediately shifted her gaze to Xu Zhiqian's face as if she were scalded by boiling water.
She realized that the man was staring at her and smiling, as if he was watching a farce. She was so embarrassed that she glared at him fiercely and turned around to get out of the car.
