Two young women came to find Jiang Sheng just before he was about to leave work. He didn't even need to guess what their purpose was.
Xu Jianian likes Jiang Sheng, and he has no objection to that.
But Su Ruoxue was a fiery-tempered girl who spoke frankly and directly, and he actually...
Some people still have a good impression of her.
Unexpectedly, the girl liked his own brother Sheng, which made Zhao Defu feel complicated, and he couldn't help but look at Jiang Sheng with resentment.
Having a childhood friend who's too handsome is a real problem!
Jiang Sheng, who was standing nearby, noticed Zhao Defu's mournful gaze but was puzzled as to why the other man was looking at him like that.
However, Jiang Sheng didn't think too much about it. When Su Ruoxue asked him, he subconsciously shook his head.
"Actually, there's nothing to be busy with. After I get back, I'll eat and rest."
Since school hasn't started yet, Jiang Sheng actually had a pretty fulfilling summer vacation, but every day was the same.
From home to the factory, and then from the factory back home, I go back and forth between these two points every day, with virtually no exceptions.
Aside from occasionally going shopping with her two older sisters, and the recent battle of wits with two scumbags.
Jiang Sheng didn't feel that his life had any major ups and downs.
"So that's how it is..."
Upon hearing this, Su Ruoxue's eyes darted around for a moment before she smiled and spoke.
"Actually, I'm going to have dinner at a friend's house with my dad tonight."
“Niannian’s parents also have a social engagement tonight, and he doesn’t really want to go alone, so I was thinking, if you’re free today, why don’t you come out with Niannian for dinner, as a way of protecting her.”
Before Su Ruoxue could finish her sentence, Xu Jianian blushed and tugged at her sleeve.
The usually straightforward and frank girl was unusually shy today.
Su Ruoxue gave Xu Jianian a teasing smile, and then winked at Jiang Sheng, who quickly understood.
"Please, if it's inconvenient for you, let Niannian treat us today as a way of thanking you for spending time with her, okay?"
Jiang Sheng was initially a little confused, but after listening to Su Ruoxue's words and looking at Xu Jianian's slightly flushed cheeks...
Having already lived a second life, how could he not understand Su Ruoxue's unspoken meaning?
Unexpectedly, in this life, he will encounter a pretty good romantic prospect.
Although Xu Jianian has a bit of a temper, she is a girl who has been pampered by her family and has a good heart.
Although he didn't have any other feelings for Xu Jianian, he did have some affection for him.
In addition, Su Ruoxue said so, it is indeed not very safe for a young woman to be alone without family members by her side.
At this moment, Jiang Sheng had already forgotten the fact that Xu Jianian could actually stay at home alone, and readily nodded.
"No problem. Just because we're friends, I'll have a meal with Xu Jianian. You can rest assured."
With Jiang Sheng's words, Su Ruoxue felt relieved and quickly winked at Xu Jianian beside her.
Xu Jianian was originally a carefree girl, but after being teased by Su Ruoxue, she became a little shy.
Zhao Defu, who had been listening the whole time, subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief the moment he heard Su Ruoxue say those words.
"Thank goodness, thank goodness, Su Ruoxue was just playing matchmaker for Xu Jianian..."
Thinking this, Zhao Defu couldn't help but muster up his courage and take the initiative to look at Su Ruoxue.
“Su Ruoxue,” Zhao Defu scratched his head, and the moment Su Ruoxue looked at him, he almost forgot what he was going to say: “Hey, a video game arcade opened not far from my house. If you’re free tomorrow, how about we go check it out together?”
Zhao Defu took the initiative to invite her, and Su Ruoxue didn't think much of it at all.
Always straightforward and with a tomboyish personality, her eyes lit up instantly when she heard the words "arcade," and she nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
"Okay, okay!"
Su Ruoxue smiled and said, "I've always liked video games, but the arcades around Yanjing are just too far away. Where do you live again? If it's not too far, I'll go with you to check it out tomorrow!"
“It’s not far,” the other person agreed, and Zhao Defu became enthusiastic as well: “My home isn’t too far from yours, so the arcade probably isn’t too far either. If you agree, I’ll pick you up on my bike tomorrow, okay?”
Su Ruoxue was taken aback, and then, looking at Zhao Defu's honest and simple appearance, she seemed to understand something and couldn't help but chuckle.
"No problem, I'll be waiting for you at my house tomorrow morning!"
Overjoyed at the successful invitation, Zhao Defu glanced at Jiang Sheng and saw the enigmatic smile Jiang Sheng was giving him.
I never expected that Zhao Defu likes Su Ruoxue. If he hadn't taken the initiative to ask her to play games today, Jiang Sheng really wouldn't have realized it.
After getting off work, I said goodbye to Zhao Defu and Su Ruoxue.
Jiang Sheng first called his eldest sister and said he was eating out.
After finishing the call, he finally looked up and glanced at the beautiful girl standing in front of him.
"Xu Jianian, have you decided what to eat tonight?"
This was the first time Xu Jianian had ever been so nervous, but seeing Jiang Sheng's generous, composed, and smiling demeanor, her nervousness instantly dissipated.
Yeah, the other party isn't being shy at all, so why am I being so nervous?
Having figured this out, Xu Jianian smiled faintly and said shyly, "There's a barbecue night market near my house. I heard the barbecue there is really good. Would you like to go there?"
Jiang Sheng had no reason to refuse. Following the principle of ladies first, and since the other party had said so, he nodded in agreement.
"Great! It's been a while since I've had barbecue. Let's eat barbecue and chat at the same time!"
Although it's a roadside barbecue stall, the shop's decor is quite nice, and it doesn't look like a roadside stall at all.
Add to that the aroma of barbecue wafting through the air, and the food stalls were packed with people, clearly indicating a booming business.
The two had just chosen a seat when the owner came over and asked them what they wanted to eat.
Xu Jianian casually picked out some food, pondering the right words in his mind, just wanting to find a topic to start a conversation with Jiang Sheng.
A woman's voice came from not far away.
"Sigh, isn't this a minor victory?"
