Green and purple grapes were still hanging on the grape rack, swaying gently in the summer evening breeze. Three people were sitting opposite each other on the stone table and chairs under the rack.
Jiang Yanqing looked at Fang Mingxiao and then at Tang Lei. Neither of them seemed to be looking at each other, but the secret gazes they were giving each other could not be ignored.
The two people don’t know each other and have no relationship, so what is this for?
But after all, they were in their own home, and Jiang Yanqing couldn't just let the two of them sit here all night. Clearing her throat, she said, "Let me introduce you. This is my cousin Fang Mingxiao."
Seeing Tang Lei pointing at Fang Mingxiao, and then seeing Fang Mingxiao pointing at Tang Lei, he said, "This is my friend, Tang Lei. He helped me buy this house."
The two nodded politely, and then there was silence again.
Jiang Yanqing pursed her lips. Why aren't you saying anything?
Looking up at the grape trellis, Jiang Yanqing stood up and said to Tang Lei, "Brother Tang, it's a good opportunity for you to come here today. Try the grapes in my yard. They're definitely better than any grapes you've eaten before."
Tang Lei also smiled and agreed, "Haha, then I'm in for a treat."
As he stood up and prepared to help, Jiang Yanqing quickly called out, "Brother Tang, just sit down and wait for a while. There's no point in burdening the guests."
Then he turned to Fang Mingxiao and said, "Go into the house and get the scissors, and bring a basin of water."
Fang Mingxiao responded, got up and went into the house. Jiang Yanqing never expected that her natural attitude would give rise to new ideas in the two men's minds.
Fang Mingxiao must be happy. Jiang Yanqing treated other men as guests and himself as a family member. Although he knew that there might not be the kind of feelings mixed in, this was enough.
At least it proved that he was the only man who could get close to her.
Anyway, Fang Mingxiao had never considered that Jiang Yanqing had never regarded him as a man, but just a big boy.
Tang Lei felt a little bitter in his heart. Based on his experience, he did not believe that the two were simply cousins, but in the end he was still a step too late.
In the process of getting along with Jiang Yanqing, he also realized that although Jiang Yanqing was young, she was very independent and even gave him enough benefits when asking him for help.
Such a person would not easily get involved in a personal relationship with others, but she is a girl living alone and is willing to have a man live with her at home.
Jiang Yanqing had no idea what the two men were thinking. She took the scissors from Fang Mingxiao and excitedly cut four bunches of ripe purple grapes. She washed them, put them on a plate, and pushed them towards Tang Lei, "Brother Tang, try some."
Tang Lei reached out and picked a grape, threw it into his mouth, chewed it, and his eyes lit up. The grape was sweet and juicy, and the flesh was crispy. It was really good.
He nodded and said, "The grapes in your yard are indeed the best grapes I have ever tasted. It's strange, this vine has been here for so many years, and I've tasted grapes from previous years, but they weren't even half as sweet as this."
Jiang Yanqing smiled mysteriously and explained, "I used special fertilizer to grow these grape vines. Of course, it's different from previous years."
Tang Lei didn't ask any further questions, and the atmosphere relaxed a lot. The three of them chatted while eating grapes and the fruits Tang Lei brought.
After chatting for almost an hour, Tang Lei stood up and said goodbye with a smile. Jiang Yanqing took out the money for the fruit and two large bunches of grapes in a net bag, ready to give Tang Lei a gift. "Brother Tang, this is the money for the fruit. Take these grapes back and let your family taste them."
Tang Lei took the grapes but returned the money. "I'll take the grapes. It's just a gift between us. You can take the money back. You know, this little bit of fruit is nothing to me."
Jiang Yanqing really didn't want to owe anyone a favor, so she refused, "Brother Tang, I can't let you make a wasted trip so late at night. Please keep it, otherwise I won't be able to ask you for help next time."
Who knew that this time Tang Lei's attitude was also very firm. He pretended to be angry and said, "Sister Yan Qing, we have been dealing with each other for so long, and you are too dismissive of me. Then should I pay you for these grapes too?"
As he spoke, he walked out. In the end, he didn't take the money. Jiang Yanqing didn't want to hold him back anymore and just walked him out the door.
After the door was closed, Jiang Yanqing finally realized something was wrong and looked at Fang Mingxiao scrutinizingly, "What did you two mean by not talking just now?"
Fang Mingxiao raised his eyebrows and answered innocently, "I don't know!"
Jiang Yanqing tapped her chin with her finger and looked Fang Mingxiao up and down. Fang Mingxiao didn't move at all, just looking at Jiang Yanqing innocently and calmly.
