Episode 391 Human-Machine
Cheng Mi covered his mouth and coughed awkwardly, then looked towards Jiang Yuxu again. This time, he had just finished styling the girl's hair, and the two were about to walk over here.
Then Cheng Mi made eye contact with them.
Cheng Mi raised his hand and waved at Jiang Yuxu twice, saying with a smile: "Yuxu, what a coincidence, you come to play basketball too."
Jiang Yuxu not only saw Cheng Mi, but also saw Gui Qing beside him.
She is dressed very differently today than usual.
She was wearing a slim-fitting black sportswear, with her hair tied up and a headband. Since she was there to play basketball, she didn't seem to be wearing any makeup, so her whole face was exposed, making her look several years younger.
Jiang Yuxu had seen Gui Qing without makeup before, but it was always in bed.
She is a person who pays great attention to her image. In her own words, it is impossible for her to go out without makeup, and she must face everyone with exquisite appearance.
Jiang Yuxu's understanding of this passage is that she did not regard anyone as someone close to her - people are only willing to expose their so-called imperfect side to those close to them because they know they will not be disliked.
Jiang Yuxu remembered that Gui Qing was at his place, and the first thing she did after getting up was to wash up and put on makeup.
Looking at her casual and natural state in front of Cheng Mi, the contrast is very clear.
Jiang Yuxu's eyes gradually darkened, but he maintained his usual calmness and nodded to Cheng Mi.
As they talked, the four people were getting closer and closer.
The court where Jiang Yuxu and Zheng Liling played basketball was right next to the court where Cheng Mi and Gui Qing played basketball.
Cheng Mi glanced at the empty space next to him and immediately realized this, so he invited him: "Let's play a game later? We haven't played for a long time."
Jiang Yuxu: "Depending on the situation, I have to be her sparring partner today."
When he said this, he glanced at Zheng Liling beside him.
Gui Qing stood behind Cheng Mi and saw the whole scene clearly.
She unscrewed the cap and took a slow sip of water.
Then, Cheng Mi was heard asking Jiang Yuxu: "Yuxu, who is this girl?"
"We'll go over first." Jiang Yuxu did not answer Cheng Mi's question. He glanced at Gui Qing out of the corner of his eye, then withdrew his gaze indifferently, then pulled Zheng Liling away.
Cheng Mi touched his chin and looked at the backs of the two people, squinting his eyes and thinking about them.
People are always like this. The more they can't get the answer, the stronger their curiosity becomes.
Cheng Mi's intuition told him that Jiang Yuxu seemed to be deliberately avoiding this topic and not introducing the identity of the girl next to him.
Are you afraid that he will think you are an old cow eating young grass?
This is unnecessary worry - besides, he has already eaten, so why should he care what others say?
When Cheng Mi was thinking, Gui Qing called him and threw the racket over to him.
Cheng Mi quickly caught it and said subconsciously: "My dear, you scared me to death. Don't you feel sorry for hitting me?"
"I know you can catch it." Gui Qing smiled and raised her chin, "Play ball."
…
Jiang Yuxu and Zheng Liling stopped here and when they bent down to pick up their rackets, they happened to hear the conversation between Cheng Mi and Gui Qing.
His hands paused for a few seconds, and then he took out the racket as usual and handed it to Zheng Liling.
Zheng Liling took the racket and looked at the court next to her, her eyes widened with surprise.
"Wow, so handsome."
Jiang Yuxu: "What?"
"That sister is so pretty." Zheng Liling pointed in the direction of Gui Qing.
Jiang Yuxu: "..."
"Oh, by the way, why didn't you answer your friend when he asked me just now?" Zheng Liling couldn't understand this.
Jiang Yuxu: "I'll introduce it to you later if I have the chance."
Zheng Liling: "Can I introduce him later? Are you familiar with him?"
Jiang Yuxu: "Not bad, my old classmate."
Zheng Liling's eyes lit up: "So you also know his girlfriend?"
Jiang Yuxu knew that she was talking about Gui Qing.
Also, her excited tone and expression...
Jiang Yuxu frowned slightly, but before he could react, Zheng Liling excitedly grabbed his arm and said, "Can you introduce us to each other later? His girlfriend is a great basketball player, and I want to play with her."
Jiang Yuxu knew that Zheng Liling loved making friends and was active and lively, but he didn't expect that she would have such a good impression of Gui Qing.
"I'm not familiar with her." Jiang Yuxu hesitated for a moment and politely rejected her.
"But you are familiar with her boyfriend. I see they have a very good relationship. There will definitely be no problem if her boyfriend tells her." Zheng Liling laughed, not noticing Jiang Yuxu's stiff expression at all.
"Let's play first and talk about it later." Jiang Yuxu didn't agree to her directly. He replied ambiguously and turned around with the racket.
——
Jiang Yuxu has been playing tennis for many years, starting from physical education class in elementary school, and this hobby has continued to this day.
He is a boring person in private, and his only hobbies are playing ball, running, or hiking in his spare time.
When I am too lazy to go out, I just read books and make tea at home.
Jiang Yuxu's tennis level cannot be compared with that of professional players, but he is considered to be a leader among ordinary people, so Zheng Liling likes to ask him to practice with her.
Jiang Yuxu would always give in to her and not use too much force.
But today, he was uncharacteristically dedicated, and after several rounds, Zheng Liling never had the upper hand.
She was so beaten that she became withdrawn. She threw her racket in anger, plopped down on the ground, and fiercely accused: "Jiang Yuxu! You bully me!"
Jiang Yuxu looked at Zheng Liling's broken defense and realized his own loss of composure.
He walked over to Zheng Liling, squatted down, and helped her up. "It's my fault. I'll let you win next time. Get up first."
"Wow, so you were deliberately losing to me before. I thought I had improved..." Zheng Liling slammed her head on Jiang Yuxu's shoulder, and her defenses were broken even more: "No wonder Fu Xiao laughed at me..."
Jiang Yuxu was helpless and raised his hand to pat the back of her head. "Don't listen to him. You've made a lot of progress. Take it slow. It's just a hobby. There's no need to put so much pressure on yourself."
Jiang Yuxu was not very good at comforting people, and coaxing children was not his strong point, so he could only do his best.
But obviously, this trick doesn't work on Zheng Liling.
After hearing this, she became even more frustrated: "Wow, wow, do you know how to comfort people?"
Jiang Yuxu: "What kind of comfort do you hope to hear?"
He has done his best.
Zheng Liling: "You should have scolded Fu Xiao with me! Or you could have told me that you'd beat Fu Xiao up next time."
Jiang Yuxu: "Will this solve the problem?"
Zheng Liling: "...What problem do you want to solve?"
Jiang Yuxu: "Aren't you crying because you're not as skilled as others? If you're not as skilled as others, you should improve first. There's no point in scolding or hitting others."
Zheng Liling was going crazy: "Are you trying to comfort me or attack me?"
She was so angry that she hit Jiang Yuxu on the shoulder and jumped up from the ground.
Jiang Yuxu frowned and held her down, "Be careful not to fall."
"No wonder you are still single in your thirties." Zheng Liling leaned close to Jiang Yuxu and muttered softly.
Jiang Yuxu: “?”
Zheng Liling: "Brother, hasn't anyone told me that you really look like that android?"
Jiang Yuxu: "AI?"
Zheng Liling: "Oh, that's not right. AI can provide emotional value better than you."
