Chapter 53
"Chunyan, what about you? Are you free this afternoon?"
Ji Wanmei first asked Luo Chunyan, since Chunyan often had to help with chores at home and take care of her two younger siblings. She had already been out with her for half a day, but she didn't know if Chunyan would be free in the afternoon.
Luo Chunyan hesitated slightly. She did need to go back early in the afternoon to help her younger siblings with their homework, do laundry, and cook dinner for the family.
But you can still make it back around 4 or 5 pm.
I just don't know what Ji Wanmei meant by asking her that. Did she want her to go or not?
Just as Luo Chunyan was hesitating, she heard Xiao Qiang, who was very perceptive, say, "Brother Lei, my recycling station is still open. If you're going to choose renovation materials, I won't go with you. Just let me know if you need anything."
Lei Tingjun nodded: "Okay, good brother, thank you for your help this time. Go back first, I'll treat you to drinks another day."
"Alright, we're all brothers, no need to be polite!" With that, Xiao Qiang prepared to leave.
Before leaving, he gave Luo Chunyan a wink.
The look in his eyes was meant to convey: 'Look, I've already left. I'm not going to be a third wheel for those two anymore. What are you still doing standing here? Find an excuse and leave like me.'
As a result, Luo Chunyan was still hesitant, but when she saw that Xiaoqiang had left, she thought that if she left too, wouldn't Meimei be left alone with Lei Tingjun?
No, she can't leave.
She had to stay and take care of Meimei to prevent her from being taken advantage of by that Lei Tingjun.
Luo Chunyan immediately said, "Okay, I don't have anything to do this afternoon, so I'll go with you to choose the materials."
When Xiaoqiang heard what she said, he wanted to slap his head a few times.
What's going on? This girl seems quite smart and perceptive, so why is she so clueless?
Didn't you see that Brother Lei just wanted to spend more time alone with the girl he liked?
This great opportunity was ruined by Luo Chunyan, the third wheel.
But Lei Tingjun's expression was fine; he didn't seem unhappy at all.
Because he knew that Luo Chunyan was originally going to work with Ji Wanmei as a partner, and it would be best for the two of them to go together to choose decoration materials and give each other advice.
In this respect, Xiaoqiang really lacked vision.
Moreover, Lei Tingjun was actually quite happy that Ji Wanmei had such a genuine friend who cared about her and was willing to protect her.
Because he wasn't always by Ji Wanmei's side protecting her.
During his absence, she had a loving father and caring sisters who genuinely treated her well, which is what Lei Tingjun wanted to see.
Although he was possessive of the people he liked, that was limited to men of the same sex and those who coveted Ji Wanmei. But he wanted Ji Wanmei to have his friends and family.
Perhaps it's because Lei Tingjun himself has few relatives left, so he especially hopes that Ji Wanmei will have more relatives around her who love and care for her.
Thinking back to when my grandmother was still alive, the feeling of having loved ones who love you unconditionally is truly wonderful.
Knowing that Ji Wanmei dislikes the smell of smoke, Lei Tingjun hasn't lit a single cigarette since they've been out for so long.
He probably didn't even realize that when he was with Ji Wanmei, he always put her preferences first.
This is probably what a man would do if he truly liked a woman.
So in just a short while, when they came out of the Sichuan restaurant, only the three of them remained.
The building materials market is not in the center of the county town, but in the slightly more remote Xijie urban area.
It's not far, but it's not close either; it takes about twenty minutes to walk there.
Lei Tingjun glanced at Ji Wanmei's small shoes and noticed that she kept shielding her head from the sun with her hand, so he knew that she was afraid of getting sunburned.
So he walked to the street and hailed a three-wheeled vehicle, the kind that specializes in picking up people in the county. It cost one cent per person and would take you anywhere in the county town.
The tricycle was parked on the side of the road, and Lei Tingjun let Ji Wanmei get on first.
Seeing this, Luo Chunyan quickly followed and stepped forward, sitting down casually between Ji Wanmei and Lei Tingjun.
Thunder Army: "..."
He never intended to sit between the two girls, okay?
Why does Luo Chunyan always treat him like a hooligan?
Lei Tingjun was a little speechless. He took a long stride and ran to the front, sitting next to the driver on the platform.
Upon seeing this, Ji Wanmei whispered to Luo Chunyan, "Lei Tingjun isn't as bad as you think. Why are you targeting him at every turn?"
Luo Chunyan glanced at Lei Tingjun's back and frowned: "I don't know either, but I just don't like him always bothering you."
Ji Wanmei looked somewhat helpless.
What happened in her past life is something only she knows after being reborn in this life. She can't tell Luo Chunyan about it, or tell her that Lei Tingjun is actually a very kind and righteous person, so that she won't always be prejudiced against him.
But then I thought, oh well, let nature take its course.
Let's consider this a test for the Thunder Army.
Often, when a man pursues a woman he likes, he will be extremely obedient and use sweet words to please her. But if you observe more calmly, you will find that the man's attitude is not the same when facing other people, or the family and friends of the woman he is pursuing, or he will show two different faces.
At this point, girls need to be more vigilant.
Because men like that are often just pretending.
