Chapter 41
When he showed up at the fishing stall on the fourth day, Pei Muyang no longer minded the little unpleasantness of yesterday.
He greeted Jiang Chengyi with a smile, and then continued to deal with the guest in front of him who had been pestering him for more than two hours.
It was a little girl wearing the painful clothes of an anime character she didn't know.
The little girl had big eyes and wore a somewhat exaggerated cosplay makeup. The pearl milk tea in her hand happened to be the brand that Pei Muyang used to drink frequently, which made him a little envious.
"Little brother, you are so handsome!" The little girl looked at Pei Muyang with sparkling eyes, full of amazement. "Can I take a photo with you? Please, please! You are really perfect! You are perfect! My aesthetic taste, not a single detail is wrong!"
"sure."
Every day, countless girls would pester Pei Muyang to take photos with him because they admired his good looks, so he was used to it. He skillfully made a balloon lollipop and handed it to the girl the moment she raised the selfie stick.
"Wow!" The little girl watched the scene captured by the camera and jumped up and down excitedly. "Hey, little brother, you are so flirtatious and romantic. What's your name? Can you add me on WeChat?"
"Sorry, you are not allowed to use your cell phone during working hours."
"That's okay, I can wait for you here. You can add me when you get off work."
Pei Muyang smiled but didn't dare to agree. He thought that a polite refusal was also a refusal, and he hoped that this enthusiastic girl would not take it seriously.
The purpose was not achieved, but the little girl continued to chase him and chat, "Little brother, do you know who you look like?"
"Is it an anime character?" Pei Muyang answered casually while helping someone pack the goldfish.
"Oh, of course not! Hasn't anyone told you that you look like my future boyfriend?"
After saying that, the little girl ignored Pei Muyang's speechless expression and giggled with her hands covering her mouth.
Seeing Pei Muyang didn't respond, the little girl continued to tease him, "Look, you have two eyes, a nose, and a mouth. I also have two eyes, a nose, and a mouth. Don't we look like a couple?"
Pei Muyang smiled awkwardly but politely, walked around her and continued to do his own thing.
But I was furiously complaining in my heart: What year did this cheesy love line come from? Are there no new memes on the Internet recently?
"Hey! Pay attention to me, do you want to be my boyfriend or not?"
Seeing that the man was not willing to listen, the girl became impatient. After wasting time for a long time, she insisted that he should at least give a response.
"If you ignore me again, I'm going to complain to you!"
As she spoke, the girl stamped her feet in anger and threatened an ultimatum.
"I……"
"Can't you tell he doesn't like you?"
Just as Pei Muyang was about to explain, he heard Jiang Chengyi's voice behind him, which was faintly filled with suppressed anger.
"Who are you? Why do you have the right to answer me for him?" The little girl had had enough. Although the man who just appeared was good-looking, he was too old and not her type.
And it was obvious that this person was coming for her, so who would be willing to go after such a cold butt?
"I'm his boyfriend, so you should understand how rude what you said is, right?"
"What? That's impossible!"
These words not only shocked the girl, but also scared Pei Muyang so much that he stood there in a daze.
In the past, he always rushed to be someone's father, but this is the first time I heard him being asked to be someone's boyfriend.
And the most important thing is that he is a man, a 24K real man. Even if he looks like a bottom, he can't be someone else's boyfriend, right?
Seeing Pei Muyang's overly shocked expression, in order not to be exposed, Jiang Chengyi suppressed his smile and reached out to pull his arm into his arms, while also glancing at the girl opposite him provocatively.
"Now you believe it, don't you?"
Where Pei Muyang couldn't see, Jiang Chengyi rubbed his face against the messy hair in a very ambiguous way, and even pretended to give a barely noticeable kiss on the top of the head.
Ah! I didn’t expect that the boy looked so cool and pure, and his hair was so soft and ruched, it was really irresistible.
The little girl pouted as she watched the intimate interaction between the two, now she had completely accepted her fate.
She stomped her feet in anger, glared at Jiang Chengyi viciously, and then turned away unwillingly.
"I'm sorry, I asked you to tell such a lie just to help me out."
Pei Muyang supported himself with his hands between the two people and exerted a little force, trying to break free from the embrace, but the person holding him held his arms even tighter.
"Hush, wait a moment, she hasn't gone far yet."
As Jiang Chengyi spoke, he took the opportunity to smell the scent of Pei Muyang's hair.
The light mint scent is a very popular shower gel scent. I guess boys, in order to save time and be lazy, just use shower gel as shampoo, from start to finish in one go.
But Jiang Chengyi was partial and secretly thought that this smell was extremely pleasant, especially when mixed with the fresh, sunny scent of a young boy, it became particularly refreshing.
He silently memorized this smell as one of the ways to identify boys.
A pleasant voice, superior looks, and intoxicating flavor.
With these features, even if he hides to the horizon next time, we can still find his trace accurately.
Pei Muyang moved his body uncomfortably.
In such a hot day, two big men hugging each other are simply a combination of double heat sources, baking him so much that sweat is printed on his white T-shirt.
"Did he leave?" Pei Muyang asked in a low voice in Jiang Chengyi's ear.
It's not that he is spoiled, but this behavior is really too strange. Although with the development of society, especially young people have become more and more open-minded about the past.
But at least they are a real couple, unlike them, who hug each other shamelessly after only knowing each other for three days.
"I'm sorry for offending you." Jiang Chengyi finally released his grip on Pei Muyang's arm. He stepped back politely, maintaining an appropriate social distance, while explaining repeatedly, "I see you're really getting frustrated with her, so I came up with this idea to make her back off. I'm really sorry."
The palms of his hands, which he secretly put behind his back, were full of nail marks from the pinching he had just done. He just couldn't bear other people coveting the boy in front of him. He wanted to lock him tightly by his side and declare his sovereignty over Pei Muyang to the whole world.
No matter whether you are a man or a woman, no matter who you are.
He would like to expel anyone who has feelings for boys from his territory.
This person belongs to him, a treasure that he has finally found. He will never allow anyone to take this person away from him again, unless he dies first.
The man's eyes were gloomy, but Pei Muyang, who was too thick-skinned, didn't notice anything unusual. He patted the man's shoulder, acting like a good brother, and explained gratefully for the man, "It's okay, you're doing me a favor."
"And if you hadn't helped me out, she would have probably complained to me, and my salary would have been deducted for sure. I might even be fired before I could finish this job."
Pei Muyang looked around. Fortunately, there were few people around and everyone was busy with their own work. No one noticed anything unusual here.
"Are you really so grateful to me?" the man asked happily with a smile on his lips.
"Of course, you know how much I need money right now."
"Then could you please treat me to another meal? It doesn't have to be expensive, just enough to fill my stomach."
The man's eyes were sincere and sympathetic, which made Pei Muyang's heart soften.
We had a small hot pot today.
Originally, in order to help Pei Muyang save money, Jiang Chengyi dragged him to a small roadside restaurant, but Pei Muyang refused to agree.
The weather is hot, and if the freshness of the food cannot be guaranteed, it will cause great harm to the body.
Pei Muyang had experienced this himself. He was once dragged to eat by Qin Jie and others, and ended up vomiting and having diarrhea for the whole day. Later, he couldn't bear it anymore and was sent to the hospital. After a check-up, he was diagnosed with acute gastroenteritis. The total cost of medical treatment and nutrition expenses was more than 1,000 yuan, and he also took more than a week's leave.
I'm so unlucky.
After much persuasion, the man finally agreed to go to a newly opened small hot pot restaurant not far away. The hot pot was a rotating self-service restaurant, and the opening group purchase price of over 50 yuan per person was extremely cost-effective.
Pei Muyang chose a set meal for two and was about to check out, but when he went to pay, he found that his balance was insufficient and he could not pay. He tried several times but failed.
Only then did he remember that he had gotten up late in the morning and was almost late, so he had no choice but to take a taxi. This resulted in him spending 19 yuan on the taxi fare, so the money in his mobile phone was not enough for him to treat his guests to dinner.
Seeing the cashier lady becoming more and more impatient, Pei Muyang regretted his decision. If he had known earlier, he would not have been so stubborn. He could have eaten a full meal elsewhere for more than 90 yuan.
Jiang Chengyi was paying close attention to Pei Muyang. He looked at the group purchase coupon that the boy was unable to take out and guessed the truth of the matter.
So the man stepped forward, blocking Pei Muyang behind him, and said to the cashier with a somewhat bad attitude, "I'll pay the bill."
The cashier looked up and down at Jiang Chengyi's clothes, which were obviously very expensive, and his expression relaxed.
It is said that when looking for a boyfriend, you should look for a mature and steady man. Young guys are good-looking, but love is not just about looks. If you can't even afford a decent meal on a date, who would want to live such a poor life?
"Hello sir, 59.9 yuan per person, a total of 119.8 yuan for two. Would you like to pay by WeChat or Alipay?"
The cashier lady smiled particularly brightly, and there was no trace of the impatient look on her face when she was rolling her eyes towards Pei Muyang before.
But who knew that the man in front of her didn't even take out his phone. He looked at her calmly and said, "Cash."
"Ah?" The cashier was stunned.
cash?
Does anyone really carry cash with them these days?
"Cash? Cash is fine."
The state stipulates that no one can refuse to accept RMB under any name, and she certainly did not dare to violate the regulations and cause trouble for the merchants.
However, those who work as cashiers know that if it is a mobile payment, it can be done in two steps, but if it is paid with cash, it will be much more troublesome.
Especially when they have both small and large amounts like theirs, it's even more annoying.
The cashier's smile faltered, but she managed to hold on and said, "Then please pay in cash."
She thought to herself that successful people like this usually only have hundred-dollar bills in their wallets, so she raised one hand and stretched it in the man's direction, while quickly calculating how much change she should give.
But who would have thought that this successful man, who looked like he was either a CEO or a millionaire, would actually pull out a handful of crumpled change from his pocket and throw it on the cashier for her to count...
