Chapter 85: Going Crazy on the 85th Day Our Master Xiao is in good physical condition...
Chapter 85
There were footsteps approaching on the stairs. Erliuzi glanced back and said gloatingly, "Three girlfriends are coming."
Qin Xiao said to Lu Xingjian, "Pretend to be a little pitiful in front of your girlfriend. Based on my years of experience, women are very susceptible to this."
"Do I need you to tell me?" Nangong Lie said confidently, "This is our Assistant Lu's specialty. No one can match him in the field of Green Tea Broken Puppy."
Lu Xingjian: ...
He cleared his throat and whispered, "I'm already sad because I was abandoned. Why should I pretend?"
"What are you talking about? Mumbling to each other." Xu Xiaonian's voice was already audible behind him. Lu Xingjian immediately got into the role, and the resentment on his face was even more intense than before.
Tan Mo followed Xu Xiaonian in and looked towards Lu Xingjian intentionally or unintentionally. Sure enough, she saw a haggard, hollow, and pitiful face, which was not as radiant as before.
After hearing what Lu Xingjian said last night, Tan Mo woke up from her dream and didn't sleep much the whole night.
She woke up earlier than Lu Xingjian, and to avoid unnecessary embarrassment, she lay in bed pretending to be asleep.
Tan Mo thought that Lu Xingjian would be injured to some extent when she got up, but she didn't expect him to be so injured.
She sighed inwardly and looked away guiltily.
Nangong Lie, the dog-headed military strategist, has been observing Tan Mo since she appeared. She noticed Tan Mo's little movements, raised her eyebrows slightly, and thought to herself proudly, it is as she expected.
Women are all sharp-tongued but kind-hearted.
Look at what women with sharp tongues but soft hearts will do to make up for it.
Nangong Lie waited and waited, and more than ten minutes passed. Tan Mo was just sitting there drinking boiled water and chatting with Xu Xiaonian and Xiang Nuan.
Nangong Lie: ???
Is this what a woman with a sharp tongue but a soft heart would do? That is, nothing at all!
Then Brother Xingjian got it for free, didn’t he?
Nangong Lie made a quick decision and pulled Lu Xingjian to his feet. "You guys eat first. We have something else to do, so we'll leave first."
Watching the two people leave, the rest of the people at the table were stunned, especially Qin Xiao, who couldn't understand what the two were doing.
Why did you just leave like that for no reason?
He thought for a moment, then stood up and left, with Erliuzi following him.
Xu Xiaonian was speechless: "What's wrong with that guy? He left as soon as we arrived. Did he go and say something bad about us behind our backs?"
"Ah!" Xiang Nuan was surprised while eating breakfast. "Why should we be teased by men?"
Xu Xiaonian looked at Tan Mo with a very accurate intuition, but she did not say anything.
She ate the fried vermicelli on the plate and asked, "Tan Mo, why don't you have breakfast?"
Xiang Nuan: "Yeah, how can I be full just by drinking water? I have to go to the mall to buy cotton trousers later. Won't you come with me?"
Tan Mo was indifferent, and she glanced at the various breakfasts on the table one by one with an expressionless face.
She asked, "Were all these breakfasts made in the kitchen that you and Qin Xiao almost messed up last night?"
Xiang Nuan: ...
Xu Xiaonian, who was enjoying her fried vermicelli, vomited.
*
"Wait a minute, why are you walking so fast?" Qin Xiao quickly caught up with Nangong Lie in front of him, and Erliuzi swung his short legs and started running.
Is there anyone who can understand that she is a woman?
Qin Xiao asked, "Why are you leaving?"
"Yes, why are you leaving?" Lu Xingjian looked at Nangong Lie. In fact, he didn't understand why Nangong Lie wanted to bring him out.
"Skills, they're all skills, understand?" Professor Nangong Lie asked, "Didn't you see that Tan Mo didn't say anything after she sat down?"
Qin Xiao nodded, "It seems so."
"She clearly felt guilty towards Lu Xingjian, but she didn't give in and take the initiative to seek peace. What does this mean?" Nangong Lie questioned Lu Xingjian and Qin Xiao.
They both shook their heads.
Nangong Lie sighed, "It's okay that Lu Xingjian doesn't understand, after all, he's never been in love. But Lao Qin, how come even you..."
He covered his forehead in pain, "How do you usually date Xiang Nuan?"
Erliuzi suddenly said, "Let's make some fun. Our Master Xiao has great stamina."
"She gets angry at the slightest disagreement. Miss Xiang Nuan has been completely subdued by Master Xiao."
Qin Xiao: ...
Nangong Lie: ...
Lu Xingjian: ...
Nangong Lie coughed awkwardly, "In relationships between men and women, especially between mature men and women, some do rely on sleeping together to build relationships, but it's not mainstream and there are certain risks involved."
"Don't talk about this in broad daylight anymore. It will teach the kids bad lessons."
Qin Xiao pretended not to hear and said impatiently, "None of your business is my business. You keep nagging me. Why don't you get down to business?"
Nangong Lie rolled his eyes at the rough guy and said, "If Tan Mo doesn't take the initiative, then Lu Xingjian, as the victim, certainly can't take the initiative to make peace. If neither of them takes the initiative, then we're stuck in a stalemate, a cold war."
"Let me tell you, the cold war is the most damaging to the relationship between men and women. In this situation where we can neither initiate peace nor engage in a cold war, the best thing Lu Xingjian can do is to attract Tan Mo's attention."
"Use practical actions to tell Tan Mo that Lu Xingjian is still angry and is trying to seduce Tan Mo to come to him."
"Taking Lu Xingjian away is a very important step."
Qin Xiao felt impressed and couldn't help but praise, "Brilliant."
Nangong Lie is the kind of person who would dare to open a dyeing factory if given a little color, and his tail has long been up to the sky.
He was caught up in his own art. “This is called the tension of love, opening and closing, relaxing and relaxing.”
"Academically, I call it 'you chase me and I run away, we can't fly away even if we have wings'."
Erliuzi suddenly asked, "Why not call it 'Entangled to the End of the World'?"
Nangong Lie: ...
"This is my serious academic research, not something you uneducated people can meddle with. Please don't tamper with it."
Erliuzi: "oops."
Qin Xiao's heart skipped a beat. The thought of "an uneducated nobody" hurt his heart again.
Although he felt that Nangong Lie's words sometimes made sense, sometimes he found them irritating and uncomfortable.
And he also couldn't stand Nangong Lie's smug and silly look.
Qin Xiao dampened his spirits and said, "Your theory sounds high-end and classy, but that's all it is."
"What do you mean by 'just so-so'?" Nangong Lie was unconvinced. "You just praised me for my intelligence. You've said all the good and bad things. Why don't you explain why my theory is just so-so?"
"I...you..." Qin Xiao was speechless.
There was a lot to say, but Qin Xiao couldn't express it. He opened and closed his mouth anxiously.
Well, he really suffered from his lack of education!
Lu Xingjian seemed to have just understood Nangong Lie's words and said worriedly, "But Tan Mo doesn't buy it."
"Ah! What?"
"When we were your assistants, you and Xu Xiaonian were always doing this. Tan Mo told me it was annoying. She also said that Xu Xiaonian suffered because she cared about men."
"A woman who cares about a man will suffer misfortune for the rest of her life. Those are her exact words."
Nangong Lie: ...
Qin Xiao laughed heartily and sneered, "What did I say? You're just talking so-so, and your academic theories are bullshit!"
Nangong Lie was so embarrassed that his face flushed. His cell phone rang at this moment.
Seeing the name on the caller ID on his phone, he excitedly raised it to show others, "Look, who's calling me!"
Erliuzi came closer and read out, "Mr. Tan."
Qin Xiao and Lu Xingjian had different expressions.
Qin Xiao asked, "Why did Tan Mo call you instead of Lu Xingjian?"
"What else could it be? I wasn't paying attention in class, so the 'you chase me, I can't fly' theory worked. Tan Mo called me because she was anxious. She wanted to test the other party and find out what they were doing."
"But you couldn't call Lu Xingjian, so you called me first." He waved his phone arrogantly and walked away. "Okay, okay, I have to take a call first."
Qin Xiao snorted disdainfully, "What are you so proud of?"
Nangong Lie walked seven or eight steps away before pressing the call button. At the same time, he was still thinking about how to show off to Tan Mo and whether he should ask for some benefits from Tan Mo, such as a bonus or something.
Unexpectedly, Tan Mo's irritable voice rushed into my ears: "What have you been doing? Why are you taking so long to answer the phone?"
He subconsciously wanted to cover the receiver of the phone so that no one could hear him, but Tan Mo didn't give him a chance.
"You are working now, don't you understand? What is our mission? Do you still remember? You left in front of me and didn't come back. I think you don't want this job anymore, right?"
"If you want to resign, tell me sooner!"
Nangong Lie: ...This plot is so out of place
He slid down to his knees and begged for mercy humbly: "Auntie, I was wrong. I didn't mean to do that... I... I... "
I hesitated for a long time before he said, "I was thinking about how to break up Qin Xiao and Xiang Nuan. There were too many people at the restaurant just now, and it affected my thinking."
Tan Mo finally calmed down, "Oh? How's the plan going?"
"Well... I want to, want to..." Nangong Lie racked his brains, but at the same time he did not forget Qin Xiao and Lu Xingjian who were watching him not far away.
As he thought about it, he remained calm and waved to the two people with a smile as if he was strolling in the garden.
Turning around, out of their sight, he servilely said, "We want to defeat them one by one!"
"Wasn't our first plan to separate the two of them? Then we should split up into two groups!"
"You and Xiao Nian follow Xiang Nuan, and I'll follow Qin Xiao."
Tan Mo said coldly: "You are sensible."
Judging from the boss's tone, he must have survived a disaster. Nangong Lie breathed a sigh of relief.
He's really smart! He can even fool people with this.
Tan Mo: "Follow him today and keep me updated on any situation. Contact me by phone. Hang up."
"Hey, wait."
"how?"
"Assistant Lu, Lu Xingjian..." Nangong Lie emphasized these two words.
Tan Mo was surprised. "I know Assistant Lu is Lu Xingjian. If you have something to say, just tell me."
Nangong Lie said vaguely: "Don't you want to know what he is going to do?"
Tan Mo raised her eyebrows, "Why should I know what he's doing?"
Nangong Lie: ...
After a few minutes, Qin Xiao saw Nangong Lie coming over and asked, "What do you mean?"
Nangong Lie said with a clear mind, "What else can I say? My theories have never been wrong!"
"Mr. Tan is very concerned about Lu Xingjian and asked me a lot about him, but I blocked them all."
Lu Xingjian was anxious: "Why block it?"
Nangong Lie continued to deceive her, "I can tell you've never fished before. If I help you block it, it will stimulate her and keep her hooked, making her miss you so much that she might decide not to abandon you tonight and pick you up."
"No." Lu Xingjian turned and left. "I won't do anything to keep her hanging. As long as she sends out a signal, that's enough!"
Lu Xingjian was just like the puppy raised by Tan Mo. Even if the puppy was still angry, it would run over happily as soon as its owner waved at it.
But Nangong Lie became anxious when he saw it. If Lu Xingjian went over now, his lies would be exposed. Would he still be able to save his face?
He quickly pulled Lu Xingjian out, "You need to be reserved! They just came to test us, and they've sent out some active signals of seeking peace, and you just followed them obediently. It's really cheap."
Lu Xingjian: "It doesn't matter if it loses value."
Nangong Lie grabbed him tightly, "Losing your value is one thing, but you'll let the other person know that your bottom line for her is very low. There's no guarantee that you won't do something that directly crosses that line next time."
Qin Xiao watched helplessly as Lu Xingjian went from a free dog who had left home and wanted to return to a dog that was strangled by Nangong Lie and lost its freedom and screamed at the top of its lungs. After Nangong Lie said that Tan Mo might just show her her new boyfriend next time, Lu Xingjian completely shut up.
Qin Xiao: ...
He shouted from a distance: "What are you doing?"
Nangong Lie: "Practical application. Now that we have the theoretical experience, let's go to the lipstick shop and put it into practice."
In fact, this was what Nangong Lielian said. The task assigned to him by Tan Mo was to convince Qin Xiao of his work ideas, but he felt that it was more important to stabilize Lu Xingjian now.
Qin Xiao cursed him as childish and took Erliuzi into the car.
They were originally going to the company. In the past two years, the gang's business has been cleaned up, and Qin Xiao has slowly transformed from a shady rat to a businessman.
Perhaps because he had experienced Nangong Lie's principles of pursuing love for two consecutive days, Qin Xiao, after getting in the car, began to examine his relationship with Xiang Nuan for the first time.
His relationship with Xiang Nuan was generally good; when they were in love, they were affectionate. But whether they were arguing, angry, having a cold war, or bickering, or when he used "sleeping clothes" to ease the relationship, Xiang Nuan was initially reluctant, although she would eventually pester him for more.
Is there really something wrong with his 'sleeping suit' plan?
Qin Xiao asked Erliuzi: "What do you think of me towards women?"
Erliuzi flattered him and praised him, "Very good, no one dares to say that Master Xiao is not a man..."
Erliuzi observed Qin Xiao's expression and saw that he was frowning unhappily. She felt more and more guilty. Wasn't her flattery loud enough?
She adjusted her words and said, "When it comes to being nice to women, no man can compare to you. You're handsome, wealthy, generous, gentle to women, and a gentleman..."
"Stop, stop, stop," Qin Xiao interrupted. "Does being gentle and gentlemanly have anything to do with me? I'm certainly handsome, wealthy, and generous, but I'm a wild, rough, and real man. Don't I understand that it's impossible for one person to have completely different personalities?"
Qin Xiao knew that his subordinates always praised him, and he enjoyed it very much, but it was not the case today, especially after listening to Nangong Lie's theory.
He said patiently, "Now I allow you to tell the truth. I won't blame you. Tell me honestly how I treat women."
"Since you asked me to tell the truth, I'm going to tell it." Erliuzi said, "You're terrible with women. You're rubbish. Sometimes I even wonder if Xiang Nuan is having a Stockholm attack for being your girlfriend."
Qin Xiao was stunned for a moment, then said, "This month's salary will be deducted."
Niroko: ... "Didn't you say you wouldn't blame me?"
Qin Xiao: "But I didn't say I wouldn't deduct your salary."
He patted the driver's seat angrily: "Go to Nangong Lie."
He wanted to see what else could be done with this lipstick.
*
Nangong Lie went to attack Qin Xiao, so Tan Mo and Xu Xiaonian naturally followed Xiang Nuan.
Xiang Nuan wanted to buy cotton trousers. Tan Mo originally thought that they were going to a high-end shopping mall, at least not a Dior store, but a Chanel store. Unexpectedly, Xiang Nuan turned left and right and took them to the wholesale market.
It was mid-week, and not many customers. Tan Mo looked around and saw a variety of small, simple shops. Apart from a door curtain with a store name, there wasn't even a place to try on clothes; it was simply covered with a piece of cloth.
It really looks familiar.
Isn’t this the cheap mall that she loved to go to with her classmates when she was studying in her original world?
Tan Mo took another look and then softly read out, "No. 56 Xingfu Street, Women's Hobby."
Xu Xiaonian patted her gently, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Tan Mo shook her head. Why was the name so strange?
In the original world, the women's street she often visited was called No. 56 Fuxing Street.
Xiang Nuan is a regular here. She brought Tan Mo and the others here and started to pick through the mountain of stockings on the stall with familiarity.
Xu Xiaonian said in disbelief: "Xiang Nuan, you bought stockings here."
"What's wrong? The stockings, leggings, and cotton pants here are cheap and good quality." Xiang Nuan was confused and turned to ask the boss, "Boss, do you have any cotton pants? I don't want thin stockings."
The boss fiddled with his phone. "It's so hot right now, where are the cotton pants? Wait a minute, let me choose a novel to listen to, and I'll find it for you right away."
Tan Mo was curious: "Didn't you have seven pairs of cotton pants yesterday?"
"Yes, but it was later torn apart by Brother Xiao." Xiang Nuan smiled shyly.
Tan Mo: ...
She was shocked: "Even cotton trousers can be torn?"
Qin Xiao is really born with great strength.
"Qin Xiao doesn't give you any money?" Xu Xiaonian wasn't used to the environment here. She said tactfully, "You have to use his money. Don't save money for a man. Should I give you my former SA?"
"He did give me money. It's just that..." Xiang Nuan hesitated and began, "This season, I went to stores like LV and Dior to buy cotton trousers, but they didn't have any. And when they heard me say I wanted to buy cotton trousers, the sales clerks looked at me strangely."
"On the contrary, when I come to places like this, the boss ladies are all used to it and don't pay much attention to me. I feel more at ease."
Tan Mo suggested: "You can go to a luxury store and say you want silk stockings for skiing instead of cotton pants. They probably won't look at you strangely."
"But they're expensive. Brother Xiao can tear through one or two pairs of cotton trousers in a day. It's not that he doesn't pay me, I just feel bad about it. I buy the cheap ones here, so I don't mind if they tear them."
Tan Mo: ...he was born with such great strength.
The lady boss behind me pulled out the cotton trousers left over from last year from the warehouse under the stall, threw them on the mountain of stockings with a thud, and said indifferently: "Beautiful lady, if you want to feel distressed, I can raise the price for you."
"No, no." Xiang Nuan waved her hand quickly. She picked up her cotton trousers and said, "This is good enough."
So the boss lady stopped caring about them.
She indifferently opened the audiobook app on her phone, and soon the electronic simulated voice of a beautiful woman came from the receiver: "My husband always compensates me with a male model after he has a crazy time with a female college student. So after he stuffed 56 male models into my body. I..."
Tan Mo: ...This world has gone completely crazy.
After buying the cotton trousers, the three of them planned to go have some coffee and sit down to chat.
To be honest, City A is very big, and the Qin family's territory is a place that Xu Xiaonian has never set foot on before, not to mention Tan Mo, the person who traveled through the book, so Xiang Nuan, who is more familiar with the place, took them to walk around the streets.
They walked and chatted in the shadows, but Tan Mo's attention gradually shifted from the chat to the house numbers of various shops.
"No. 11 Guanyang Road."
"No. 9 Shanxiang Road."
"No. 33 Linfeng Road."
How come the streets are so similar to those in her original world, the only difference being the names are reversed. For example, the "Guanyang Road" in the book is called "Yangguan Road" in Tan Mo's original world, and "Fenglin Road" has become "Linfeng Road."
What a strange feeling.
Will her family appear here too?
Tan Mo's home is not in the city, but in a relatively remote urban-rural fringe area.
When they arrived at a shop, Xiang Nuan introduced it, saying, "The snow-capped coffee here is very delicious. I come here often. You should try it too."
She suddenly let out another soft "ah" sound, which Xu Xiaonian keenly heard and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xiang Nuan pointed at the coffee shop's address and said, "That's weird! I remember it was 77 Yijiang Road, but now it's 77 Linfeng Road."
Tan Mo was attracted by her voice and looked up.
Xu Xiaonian said, "Maybe the city government changed it recently. You haven't paid attention to the news in this regard, so you missed it."
"It's possible."
Xu Xiaonian smiled and said, "As long as the store is still the same store and the things inside are the same, that's fine."
"Yeah, let's go in." Xiang Nuan pulled them in.
Tan Mo picked an empty seat and immediately pulled out her phone, opened the map, and said without looking up, "Please help me order. I have something to do now."
Xu Xiaonian looked at her suspiciously, nodded in agreement, and went in with Xiang Nuan.
The village where Tan Mo lives is called Jinxi Village. She entered No. 24, Xijin Village on the map.
But the cell phone signal seemed to be against her at this moment, and the center of the screen kept spinning in circles.
The more Tan Mo looked, the more anxious she became, and she kept jumping back and forth.
She even switched back and forth several times.
"The coffee here is quite cheap." When Xu Xiaonian came over with the coffee, the map interface finally showed some movement.
The location symbol is accurately marked 35 kilometers away from Tan Mo's current location.
Tan Mo's heart was pounding, it really was true.
"What's wrong with you?" Seeing Tan Mo's strange behavior, Xu Xiaonian asked nervously.
Tan Mo shook her head in a daze, her mind full of questions, and she didn't even have time to ask the system in her mind.
Although she really wanted to run over and take a look, Tan Mo kept herself calm and told herself to take it slow.
Xiang Nuan came over with a tray, "What happened?"
Tan Mo: "It's about work, a difficult client."
"Oh." Xiang Nuan didn't ask further questions. She brought the three cakes of different flavors on the tray to the table. "These three flavors are the best. You must try them."
Xu Xiaonian had wanted to try the raspberry-flavored cake when she was ordering, so she took a spoonful first.
"That's great." Xu Xiaonian said, "By the way, Xiang Nuan, do you want to find a job?"
Xiang Nuan drank his coffee and asked in confusion, "Why should I look for a job?"
Xu Xiaonian and Tan Mo exchanged a knowing glance, and Tan Mo said, "Don't you think it's tiring to argue with Qin Xiao all the time? Staying at home all day is too boring."
"I am tired, but that's normal. We're still in the adjustment period." Xiang Nuan thought for a moment. "As for free time? I'm not free at all. I have afternoon tea every day, go shopping with friends, have a spa, play golf, and sometimes take flower arrangement, dance, and yoga classes. I'm not too busy."
Xu Xiaonian: "You've been together for almost two years, and this is still called running-in."
"I can't help it. Brother Xiao loves me too much. Our values are too different. If he won't let me go, it will take even longer to get along."
"We won't let you go?" Xu Xiaonian said excitedly, "That's easy! You and I can take the civil service exam together and pass it. Then you'll be a member of the country. Who would dare not let you go?"
Tan Mo: "Yes, a woman should have a career, so that she can leave Qin Xiao after a quarrel."
Xiang Nuan just chuckled, "Exam for the civil service? Don't be ridiculous."
"I graduated from university last year, and my classmates worked so hard to get into civil service, but their monthly salary is less than a fraction of my monthly pocket money."
Hearing Xiang Nuan's carefree tone, Tan Mo suddenly realized something important: she seemed to be unaware that her childhood sweetheart was killed by Qin Xiao's father.
However, this book "One Birth, Seven Treasures: Mr. Xiao, Please Be Gentle on the Cruelty" also carries the label of revenge. Tan Mo really can't think of how to take revenge with Xiang Nuan's current thoughts and means?
Tan Mo expressed it tactfully: "But have you ever thought that Qin Xiao may not give you so much pocket money in the future?"
"Impossible." Xiang Nuan denied it flatly, "He loves me so much."
"There are always various reasons why he can't give you money. For example, as far as I know, you haven't been accepted by Old Lady Qin yet."
Xiang Nuan was silent for a moment, not knowing what she was thinking. She took a sip of coffee and said, "How can an old person be more stubborn than a young person? As long as Qin Xiao keeps wanting to marry me, the old lady will still agree to our marriage."
"To put it bluntly, she is already very old, and the future still belongs to us young people."
Tan Mo and Xu Xiaonian were speechless.
