Chapter 20. Love Him So Much
No matter what time, gossip is the best way to quickly narrow the distance between two people.
Since the Chinese Valentine's Day, Ruan Tang has been depressed for two days, staying in her room all day long watching "My Love from the Star".
When Cheon Song Yi said that being pretty was enough, she nodded continuously. Her eyes accidentally touched the mirror on the bedside. She became discouraged again in a second, turned the mirror upside down and buried her head in the quilt.
On the third day, Ruan Tang dressed up beautifully early in the morning and prepared to go out to do business. It was not because of her amazing self-healing ability, but because she received bills from two banks early in the morning.
She didn't expect to see Jiang Li again so soon.
She looked particularly fresh today, wearing simple suspender shorts and a loose plaid shirt. She leaned casually against the store door, a half-burned lady's cigarette between her fingers. The hazy light in the early morning sun gave her a youthful filter.
Although she didn't have a good impression of this little girl, Ruan Tang had to admit that she was indeed so beautiful that one couldn't take their eyes off her.
Jiang Li looked up and saw Ruan Tang. She put out her cigarette and waved to Ruan Tang.
Ruan Tang went forward to open the door and asked: Aren’t you afraid of affecting your skin?
"I'm not afraid yet." Jiang Li grinned, and her attitude was much better than before.
Ruan Tang shrugged: Just pretend I didn’t say anything.
The two entered the store. As Ruan Tang had expected, Feng Xue had cleaned the store very cleanly. Even the coffee machine was spotless.
"What do you want to drink?"
"Zhang Haoyu asked me to apologize on his behalf."
Ruan Tang poured a glass of water in front of her and asked: Did you also think that I was the stepmother his father found for him?
"Actually, I also thought this was quite magical before, but his family said that his father was more love-sick. His grandmother used to take care of him, and his father never remarried. Now his grandmother is lying in bed, so she asked his aunt to keep an eye on him. But his aunt couldn't confront him head-on, so she thought of this trick to drag him into it." Jiang Li said while browsing her phone.
Ruan Tang suddenly felt all her anger and humiliation vanish, leaving only a raging gossip spirit. She asked, "But isn't this little aunt born to my aunt? Why does she listen so much to her grandmother?"
"His aunt was raised by his grandmother since she was a child. It is said that the aunt went to Singapore to develop her career shortly after giving birth to the child." Jiang Li said frankly.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk," Ruan Tang shook her head, and couldn't help but imagine a million-word story of contemporary family feuds in her mind. "What a big drama."
"Really?!" Jiang Li raised her eyebrows, and the two of them gathered together and started discussing.
No matter what time, gossip is the best way to quickly narrow the distance between two people.
As they were talking, Feng Xue came in carrying a huge shopping bag.
"Xiao Li is here too." He put down his shopping bags with a sweaty face and stood under the air conditioner to get some fresh air.
Jiang Li said dissatisfiedly: I have told you many times, either call me Jiang Li or call me Olina, Xiaoli sounds so unsophisticated.
Feng Xue smiled and patted her head gently, picked up the shopping bag, took out a bottle of mouthwash and handed it to her: Here, I'll give you a small gift to apologize.
The dissatisfaction on Jiang Li's face became even more intense: Ah, Lao Feng, why are you implying something to me?
"Implication?" Feng Xue was a little confused.
"A while ago, a classmate of mine posted on WeChat Moments asking who had anonymously sent her a box of mouthwash. No one claimed it, and the comments made her reflect on whether she had offended someone, who then sent her the mouthwash to imply she had a bad mouth."
Ruan Tang couldn't help but burst out laughing and said: This level of yin and yang is amazing, but what if the other party can't figure out the meaning, wouldn't it be like throwing meat buns at a dog?
Feng Xue quickly waved her hands and explained, "No, no, how could your uncle possibly be implying something?" Just now... while running errands, I happened to see a girl about to jump off a building, and I chatted with her for a while. It's not easy for her, working several jobs in Beijing and learning how to do micro-business. As a result, she's stuck with these products, so I bought some as a token of my appreciation.
Ruan Tang stretched her neck to look at the things in the shopping bag. Feng Xue hurriedly took out two bottles of mouthwash and handed them to Ruan Tang: This is for you. I thought we could put some in the store for customers to use. These fast-moving consumer goods have to be bought eventually.
She curled her lips and said angrily: You bought a second-hand air conditioner in the store, but you are so generous when it comes to charity.
Jiang Li's eyes lit up, and she said, "Just now I saw on the local hot topic that a runner bravely saved a girl who was attempting suicide and then quietly left. Could it be you? There were even reporters there."
Feng Xue was packing her shopping bag with her head down. When she heard her say that, she looked relieved. "Really? Luckily we left early, otherwise it would have been so embarrassing."
"Not bad, you left without hesitation after the work was done, hiding your achievements and fame. That girl even told the reporter that you are very handsome and caring." Jiang Li held her chin with her hands and looked at Feng Xue, as if she wanted to embarrass him.
Feng Xue tapped him on the forehead and reminded him: Don’t talk nonsense on the Internet, I don’t want to be famous.
Ruan Tang, who was sitting next to him, tilted her head to look at Feng Xue.
Is it handsome?
He wore a simple black T-shirt, casual pants, and sneakers. His exposed skin was tanned, and his smile made his teeth appear even whiter. He usually paid close attention to his appearance, but running outside in such weather, his clothes were repeatedly soaked with sweat, and the underarms of his T-shirt still showed faint traces of white.
"I didn't realize it. You're very low-key now." Jiang Li patted Feng Xue's arm jokingly.
He suddenly frowned and took a breath, and Jiang Li was startled.
"What's wrong?" Ruan Tang asked.
Feng Xue shook his head: I guess he got stretched when I pulled the girl down just now, he should be fine.
Ruan Tang stood up and walked to his side, bent down and lifted up his short-sleeve to check, and said: You have a dislocated shoulder joint, it needs to be reset, otherwise the dislocation will be more troublesome.
"Thank you." Feng Xue looked a little unnatural under Ruan Tang's gaze. He moved his body and said: I'll go to the clinic later.
"Do you believe me?" Ruan Tang looked at him and asked.
Feng Xue nodded blankly. Ruan Tang held his wrist directly and his elbow with the other hand. She gently guided him to rotate his arm to adjust the angle, and then suddenly exerted force.
With a "click", Jiang Li, who was sitting next to him, felt her breathing stagnate. Two seconds later, she asked: Is it done... or is it broken?
Ruan Tang easily put down Feng Xue's arm and let him move it a few times. He looked at Ruan Tang in surprise, moved it again, and said: It's actually much better.
Jiang Li gave Ruan Tang a thumbs up and sighed: How many surprises do you have that I don’t know about?
"It's no big deal." Ruan Tang had a look of pretended arrogance on her face, and lifted the strands of hair on her forehead. She seemed to remember something, and patted Feng Xue's shoulder and advised: Don't take any orders for the time being, otherwise it will cause habitual dislocation and that will be bad.
During the following period of time, Ruan Tang seemed to have installed surveillance cameras around Feng Xue, and the words he heard most often were: I’ll do it, I’ll do it.
Whether it was a supplier delivering goods, or tidying up tables and chairs after business was over, or even the time when Feng Xue took off half of his shirt to apply a plaster, Ruan Tang would suddenly appear and grab what was in his hand to do it for him.
During this period, Xu Wei came to the tavern twice and saw everything.
When Ruan Tang was having dinner at Xu Wei's house, Xu Wei leaned close to Ruan Tang's ear and whispered a question mysteriously.
She nibbled a piece of chicken feet and answered nonchalantly: "Yes, I love him so much that I can't wait to marry him tomorrow, but on one condition! He has to be the Feng Xue who made a million a year and was not married a few years ago."
Xu Wei sighed and advised: You should cherish the person in front of you, Feng Xue is a good person.
Ruan Tang poured Xu Wei a glass of beer and said: Have a drink and sober up. You are blinded by the talk of cherishing the person in front of you. The person in front of you may not be good. There is still a huge world out there.
Xu Wei patted her shoulder and told her not to worry about her, then pushed the wine in front of her back to her and said that she had an emergency drinking party later and would not accompany her. Then she got up to change her clothes.
It was already dark outside the window. Ruan Tang stood up from the coffee table and stretched, and suddenly saw Jia Yingjun's car parked downstairs.
