Chapter 118 Do you already have a partner?
The two sisters walked forward hand in hand, with bright smiles on their faces.
When I walked to the door of the apartment building, someone called out "Tang Xueli" from behind.
"Sister, you go back first. I'll talk to him for a while." Tang Xueli turned and walked towards Yan Jingshu.
Tang Yuanyuan nodded to Yan Jingshu, said hello, and then went home.
Yan Jingshu changed out of his formal attire and returned to his usual simple look.
Tang Xueli glanced at him and went straight to the point: "Did you ask?"
"Am I too ordinary in this outfit? Am I not as pretty as I was yesterday?" Yan Jingshu's tone was serious, but the question he asked was... as childish as ever.
"It's not as good-looking as yesterday. Then what? Do you want to go back and change into formal clothes before coming to talk to me?"
Why would someone who doesn't rely on his looks to make a living care about these superficial things every day?
Although getting information from Feng Lannie was a bit of a honey trap.
But this "beauty" seems to care a little too much about her appearance.
"Forget it then." Yan Jingshu shook his head decisively. "Formal clothes are too formal. They look good, but they are too tiring to wear for a long time."
Tang Xueli didn't intend to discuss with him the issue of whether to wear formal clothes early in the morning. As long as you want, you can wear whatever you want, a dragon robe or a suit, it's no problem. No one will care if you go out wearing only shorts.
"Did you find out how Feng Biao knew Chi Daben?" This was all she wanted to know now.
Yan Jingshu's expression turned serious: "Feng Lannie has never heard of Chi Daben."
Tang Xueli thought for a moment and said, "He may have another nickname."
Yan Jingshu nodded. He thought so too, but he had never met Chi Daben in person, so he could not conduct a more in-depth investigation for the time being.
"What I learned from Feng Lannie is that Feng Biao only has two confidants, who have been out dealing in goods recently, such as radios and jeans. She said she didn't know the details, and Feng Biao didn't want to tell her about it. But..." Yan Jingshu paused, "I always feel that she is not telling the truth."
"Which one is not true?" Tang Xueli believed in Yan Jingshu's intuition.
Yan Jingshu said, "I can't figure it out. I feel like she keeps three-tenths of what she says secret and seven-tenths of what she says. In general, she has never told me the truth."
Tang Xueli understood that Feng Lannie was not a love-brained little white rabbit.
"Then she must be very scheming. You probably won't be able to get much information from her."
Yan Jingshu felt the same way. "I still keep in touch with her and meet her occasionally. If she doesn't tell the truth, then I just practice Tai Chi with her."
"She said she likes you, which should be the truth." Tang Xueli smiled: "As long as she likes you, she will find a way to contact you, take your time."
Yan Jingshu smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect that both of us would be liked by Feng. What a fate!"
Tang Xueli sneered.
What kind of fate is this?
"It's alright, I'll go back to the house."
"Wait." Yan Jingshu took off his backpack, took out a few large envelopes and handed them over. "Here, I have developed the photos."
Tang Xueli took it out and looked at it. "So many?"
"I've washed four copies of each, one for each of you, so you don't have to fight over them."
Yan Jingshu thought very carefully.
"..." Tang Xueli didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "How much is it? The cost of the film and the cost of developing four copies of the photos."
Before he could say no, she made it clear: "One thing is one thing, you have to take the money, and settle the bill for me properly, don't fool me. I don't need this little money, you should know that."
"Oh..." Yan Jingshu started to calculate seriously, but he couldn't figure out the number for a long time.
"Teacher Yan." Tang Xueli looked at him: "Are you so bad at math?"
Don’t understand how to add several numbers?
Or is he just pretending?
"The main thing is that the tools for developing photos were bought a long time ago, and I don't know how much they charge you for developing one." Yan Jingshu said seriously: "My parents bought the film, a lot of it, and I don't know how much each one costs."
He doesn't pay much attention to the details.
"How about I go to the photo studio and ask for the price and then tell you?"
Before Tang Xueli could speak, Yan Jingshu refuted his proposal: "This is a bit too troublesome, and we are teacher and student. I don't think it's good to be so distant. Although brothers have to settle accounts clearly, they usually don't understand. It will hurt feelings if the accounts are settled too clearly."
"I don't think it hurts feelings." Tang Xueli said coldly, "I don't think it's a bother either."
“……” Yan Jingshu was stunned.
"I'll go ask the photo studio myself when I pass by it this afternoon. Don't worry about it. I'll give you the money next time." After saying that, Tang Xueli went home.
Out of politeness, she waved to Yan Jingshu and said "bye".
Yan Jingshu actually wanted her to treat him to a meal, but in the end the meal didn't take place.
What's so rare about money? He has plenty of it.
He wanted to have dinner with her!
He wanted to see her chewing the ribs!
The way she chews the ribs is the cutest.
It’s a pity that I didn’t seize the opportunity this time.
Yan Jingshu went to work at the newspaper with regret.
As soon as I stepped into the newspaper office, I ran into President Lu.
"How was your chat with Bingbing?"
Yan Jingshu smiled and said, "Very good."
"Why is it exactly the same as Bingbing's answer?" President Lu stared at Yan Jingshu with a scrutinizing look: "Have you two rehearsed your lines in advance?"
"No, no." Yan Jingshu grinned, "Not really."
"Xiaoyan, tell me the truth, do you like Bingbing?"
President Lu's gaze carried an unknown sense of oppression. Yan Jingshu thought for a moment and only replied, "A forced melon is not sweet."
President Lu narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you feel it's reluctant, or does she feel it's reluctant?"
Two such good kids, who doesn't like whom?
He has tried so hard to bring them together, how could it not work out?
"It all feels forced." Yan Jingshu said honestly.
President Lu is a reasonable man and he is very perceptive. It would be beyond his ability to deceive this old fox.
So it is better to tell the truth and never be smart.
"Ah..." President Lu sighed heavily, "I really don't understand what you young people are thinking. Bingbing is good in everything and a smart kid, but why does she always like some weird men? This time she even dated an old guy. My blood pressure is soaring, I'm almost mad to death."
"Ah..." Yan Jingshu didn't know how to respond at this moment.
It turns out that the father knew everything about what kind of person his daughter was dating, he just pretended not to know.
President Lu was furious when he thought of this incident. "What's so good about that illiterate peasant, who is so old. She treats even that kind of person like a treasure, so why does Bingbing look down on you?!"
Yan Jingshu: "...Well, President, people are not compared like this. Everyone has his or her own advantages and strengths."
"Okay, stop giving me these big ideas. You've never been a father, so you don't understand how I feel as a father."
President Lu looked at Yan Jingshu and suddenly asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Yan Jingshu was stunned: "Huh?"
What's going on.
"Do you already have a partner?" President Lu remembered the girl in the blue dress he saw at the window that day.
