Friday night arrived.
After washing up, Cen Yu returned to his bedroom and saw the big, fat cat squatting at the head of his bed, looking at him intently.
"Host, Qiang Yuanqing will be coming to pick you up tomorrow."
The big fat cat meowed, then came over and rubbed its head against Cen Yu's wrist. "Do you remember how it was written in the original story?"
Cen Yu revealed an expression of a hero making a painful sacrifice.
Because in the original novel, Cen Yu's behavior in the car was really low. First, he compared his height with Qiang Yuanqing and became unhappy after finding that the other person was taller than him. Then, when he saw the other person's car, he started to inquire about how much the car cost and whether it was bought with a loan.
Then you find out where the other person is working and how much they earn in a month.
Haha, even a matchmaker can't find out as much information as him.
The more questions Qiang Yuanqing was asked, the more annoyed she became, and she began to suspect that Yu Xinyu must have lost her mind to find such a rare and despicable man.
Cen Yu sat on the edge of the bed, then went to Douban to advise on grouping and to summarize the "low-class man" quotes from Little Sweet Potato's rant post, before nodding to Big Fat Cat.
"I will try my best."
...
When Qiang Yuanqing parked his car downstairs at Yu Xinyu's building, he saw two people standing near the street.
Actually, he wanted to ask Yu Xinyu why she didn't drive when she clearly had a car, and why she pretended not to know how to drive... His gaze went through the windshield to the man standing next to Yu Xinyu.
Although the other person was a few centimeters shorter than Yu Xinyu.
But he has a cold, handsome appearance, and when he doesn't smile, he is visibly indifferent, as if nothing and no one in the world can arouse his interest.
He has two beauty marks under his eyes, jet-black hair, and pale skin; he has a face that you won't forget after just one glance.
Qiang Yuanqing was stunned for a few seconds, not expecting Yu Xinyu's partner to look like this—
After all, in Yu Xinyu's description, Cen Yu was a chauvinist and petty. However, Yu Xinyu, who sees beauty in the eye of the beholder, thought that her baby was perfect in every way, even more so than some star-struck fans.
After parking the car, Qiang Yuanqing opened the door and got out. He smiled at Yu Xinyu and was about to say hello—
"Did you get insoles to increase your height?"
Cen Yu suddenly said.
"?" Qiang Yuanqing didn't expect Cen Yu to say that.
Cen Yu immediately started spouting nonsense, avoiding Qiang Yuanqing's gaze, otherwise he worried he wouldn't be able to continue the act.
He looked Qiang Yuanqing up and down, then glanced at the soles of his shoes—
"I said, brother, there's no need for that, you're so vain."
He said to Qiang Yuanqing, "You should at least put on 6 or 7 centimeters of height when you meet him." Qiang Yuanqing was about 186 cm tall. He was dressed casually, and his shoes didn't look like they were for wearing height-increasing insoles.
But Cen Yu was blatantly lying—
"I see you..." he continued provocatively, "...are you at most 176cm tall, right?"
He chuckled. "It's okay. There's nothing shameful about using height-increasing pads. I know what I'm doing."
Qiang Yuanqing could hardly hide the doubt in his eyes. He subconsciously looked at Yu Xinyu beside him and found that she was looking at Cen Yu with starry eyes, as if she thought what he said made a lot of sense.
—Seriously, have you lost your mind?!
Qiang Yuanqing is really getting angry!
"...I didn't use any height-enhancing pads." Qiang Yuanqing tried to calm herself down.
"Fine, fine, no padding means no padding," Cen Yu said impatiently.
Yu Xinyu smiled and said, "Yes, we believe you didn't use a pad."
"..." Damn it, Yu Xinyu!
Qiang Yuanqing almost lost her composure. What makes you think you should or shouldn't believe her?!
He was about to say something when he saw Cen Yu casually open the rear left door, throw the luggage bag into the back seat, and say, "Alright, stop talking nonsense, I'll sit in the back."
"You two haven't seen each other in a long time, so you can have a chat."
His words seemed full of consideration, but only Cen Yu himself knew that he was creating an opportunity for Yu Xinyu!
Moreover, Qiang Yuanqing's villa is almost in a neighboring city, more than two hours away by car... He really wasn't confident he could keep up the act for that long, so he decided to lean back and pretend to fall asleep after reciting his lines.
He made this plan, and then watched as Qiang Yuanqing, whose face was ashen, got into the driver's seat. Although Yu Xinyu wanted to sit in the back with him, she felt it was inappropriate to treat Qiang Yuanqing as a driver, so she opened the passenger door and got in.
As soon as the car started, Cen Yu turned on his microphone again—
"Hey? Your car looks pretty good, it must be worth a lot of money, right?" Cen Yu started touching the leather seats in the back and the interior, then carefully examined the sound system, before looking at Qiang Yuanqing in the driver's seat. "Did you buy this on loan?"
Qiang Yuanqing frowned, looking at Yu Xinyu beside him, really wanting to ask—
Are you sick?!
"Hmm..." Qiang Yuanqing replied dismissively, "Not much."
"Oh, then it seems it really isn't worth much." Cen Yu said, then sat back down in the back seat.
"Fasten your seatbelt," Qiang Yuanqing said, suppressing his anger.
Seeing that Qiang Yuanqing was about to lose his composure, Cen Yu knew to stop while he was ahead, so he obediently fastened his seatbelt and remained silent.
Yu Xinyu, on the other hand, kept a smile on her face, seemingly not at all that Cen Yu's behavior would make her feel embarrassed in the first meeting between the two of them.
He even smiled with satisfaction.
"Don't be angry," he said softly to Qiang Yuanqing. "My husband is just straightforward; he doesn't mean any harm."
Cen Yu: "..."
Qiang Yuanqing: "..."
My god, being love-struck is terrifying!
However, only Yu Xinyu knew what he was thinking. Looking at the disgust and impatience in Qiang Yuanqing's eyes, he felt that Cen Yu had performed too well. He wished that Cen Yu would say more, until Qiang Yuanqing was completely disgusted with him.
Qiang Yuanqing, who is usually so pretentious and affected, actually got out of the car to take the luggage when he saw the two of them.
Others might think this is Qiang Yuanqing's gentlemanly demeanor.
Only Yu Xinyu, who had known the other person since childhood, knew that the other person had gotten out of the car and came to the two of them because she was curious about Cen Yu's appearance and wanted to get a closer look.
He sneered inwardly, but remained outwardly gentle and kind.
Qiang Yuanqing turned on the car's music—
"No, I'll connect via Bluetooth and switch to this one." Cen Yu turned on her microphone again.
Qiang Yuanqing was afraid that the other party would play some kind of upbeat, raucous song, so he turned off the music. "Forget it, let's just focus on driving," he said, glancing at Yu Xinyu, who was smiling beside him.
I've decided to remind the other party anyway—
"Your older brother... is coming too."
He stopped talking after he finished speaking, waiting to see Yu Xinyu's reaction.
Yu Xinyu smiled, but his eyes suddenly turned cold. Considering Cen Yu behind him, he could only suppress his anger and say—
"Really? That's really unfortunate."
