Chapter 08
Do you know what time we agreed upon, and what time it is now
Ah, Xiangxiang is truly adorable. You may also call me Brother Xiaoli
Home. She knew she was finished
As soon as the two were seated, Mr. Xing smiled and said, "Which one of you is Miss Zhao Jixiang?"
Oh. Yisheng hurriedly served two bowls of rice, placed them on the table, and handed him one bowl. The two then began to eat in silence. Occasionally, Yisheng would glance up to steal a look at Song Anchun, who was calmly eating. After a quick glance, he immediately withdrew his head like a turtle and continued to eat his own.
nodded somewhat sluggishly throughout his life, "Goodbye"
"You take photos very gently." Song Anchen squinted his slender phoenix eyes, looking as if he was hiding a knife within his smile
Husband, I miss you
He had fallen asleep, his head slightly tilted, and his chin lowered, appearing quite fatigued. She gently set down her cup, sat beside him, and observed him. Unable to resist, she raised her hand, wanting to touch this man. His long, dark eyelashes fluttered slightly; she had once remarked that his nose was the most perfect, gently breathing, along with those sensual, soft lips. Just as her hand was about to make contact, a hand suddenly grasped her restless one.
Both individuals groaned in unison, suffering from severe internal injuries
Song Anchen asked: "Do you not stockpile any food at home?"
A person who is actually fond of vegetarian food can swear that she has eaten three-quarters of the chicken wings, which total only four. When she sees the chicken bones she has spat out on the plate, she feels truly ashamed
Song Anchen wiped his mouth and, seeing her embarrassed expression, understood what she was thinking. He casually said: "Thank you for supporting me so much."
What is there to be happy about? I have never quite understood it in my life. But when she looked at the wall clock, she became agitated. At that moment, it was already 6:30 in the morning, and she had forgotten that her night shift was until 5:00 AM
He inched closer to her, and she retreated step by step, transforming the situation into one where the woman lay beneath and the man pressed above...
Song Anchen took out tomatoes and a few eggs from the refrigerator, making a large bowl of tomato egg soup. Once he had prepared everything he could, he brought the dishes out and said to Yisheng, "You go serve the rice"
She hung up the phone immediately after speaking, unable to imagine how furious Song Anchen must have been after hearing her words. Suddenly, she had a bad premonition; given Song Anchen's personality, he would either not come and think of her as a lunatic, or he would come and be even more deranged than she was.
However, as she washed the dishes, she became increasingly drowsy, until she could barely keep her eyes open. She slapped herself to regain a bit of alertness. She yawned heavily and poured a glass of water for Song Anchen. Just as she entered the living room, she was momentarily taken aback.
When he completely disappeared from her sight, she had not yet regained her composure. After finally recalling her embarrassing state, she irritably tugged at her hair, certain that Song Anchen must be looking down on her from the bottom of his heart. She pinched her forehead; after all that commotion, she felt completely awake, but she still had to accompany Zhao Jixiang to a blind date in the afternoon, so she needed to rest. In the end, she chose to take a shower and then collapse onto the bed to sleep.
For a lifetime, he remained perplexed. He straightened up, distancing himself from the pressure he exerted on her. He tidied his attire and stood up, saying, "I am going back"
Come on! Zhao Jixiang immediately shouted a sentence in English, her voice so loud that it seemed to distance her from her phone for a lifetime, allowing her to shout for a moment first
"You can call me Xiangxiang or Jixiang younger sister," said Yisheng sweetly. Since she was asked to bear the burden, she would tarnish Zhao Jixiang's reputation, making it impossible for her to face the elders of Jiangdong. Upon hearing Yisheng's words, Zhao Jixiang nearly spat blood, groaning softly, and patted her chest.
"May I call you Miss Auspicious?" Mr. Personality said with a pleasant smile to the life, his yellowed teeth sending a shiver down her spine. She thought to herself that this Mr. Personality did not seem to enjoy brushing his teeth
The entire person blushed for a lifetime, and she wanted to shake off that hand, but he would not let go. She anxiously explained, "I just saw a mosquito on your face and was about to help you swat it away"
"Husband, come over here, I am waiting for you at the Nandings Coffee Shop on Tianhu Street," said Yi Sheng in a delicate voice to Song Anchun on the other end of the phone. To make it more convincing, she even pretended to be shy in front of her brother Xiao Li.
Yet she forgot that he was Song Anchen, the universally recognized all-round prince in high school. He checked the few remaining items in the refrigerator, skillfully took out a bottle of cola, some scallions, and a few frozen chicken wings. He first boiled a pot of water, cooked the rice, then tied on an apron and rummaged through the kitchen for ginger, skillfully slicing it into pieces, chopping the scallions, washing the chicken wings, and making two cuts on each wing with a knife. Once all the preparations were complete, he started the stove, poured in oil, added sugar to caramelize, and slid the chicken wings into the hot oil along the edge of the pan, frying them slightly until the skin turned golden. He then added cola, soy sauce, star anise, scallion segments, and ginger slices, bringing it to a boil over high heat before reducing to a simmer until the sauce was nearly reduced, completing the dish.
Zhao Jixiang ignored her and directly pulled her inside. When they reached a seat by the floor-to-ceiling window, she saw the person Zhao Jixiang was supposed to go on a blind date with, and she almost spat it out on the spot. ... With a Mediterranean hairstyle, a round, bulging belly, and a large mouth that opened and closed, he greeted them with a beaming smile. Such a creative person was truly ...
Brother Xiaoli gazed at the two with a foolish smile, believing that they were acknowledging him, or perhaps that both were attracted to him, this millionaire. He was even more delighted. Straightening his posture, he said to Brother Xiaoli: "I’m sorry, Brother Xiaoli, but I actually have a boyfriend already"
As the cursor lingered over the second photo, he hesitated to click on it, merely gazing thoughtfully at the indistinct image in the directory. It was vaguely recognizable as a group photo, and he stared at such a photo for quite some time, his gaze becoming somewhat unfocused. Finally, he closed his phone, started the car, and the vehicle emitted a hissing sound, mirroring his restless heart, as he gracefully departed from the garden community
Miss Ye Yisheng, may I ask where you are
A lifetime of pouting, "You can go first, it doesn't matter."
Song Anchen noticed her silence, furrowed his brows, and walked towards the kitchen. Yisheng obediently stepped aside, allowing him to pass. After all, there was nothing of interest; looking would be in vain.
This time she chose Song Anchen's number, and his line connected after just a few rings, "Hello?"
Throughout his life, he never quite understood what he was looking at. He only heard him gently and indulgently say with a smile: "It's almost seven o'clock"
He propped himself up with both hands, and beneath him lay a person whose face had turned pale with fear. The two remained in a silent stalemate for quite some time
Do as you please. Even if it means leaving no trace behind.
Zhao Jixiang could not tolerate the sharp and sarcastic remarks of this exceptional man, almost standing up to directly curse at him. He held her down for a lifetime, giving her a glance. They are civilized people and do not stoop to the level of such individuals. She remained unfazed and said to her brother Xiao Li: "Let me give it another try."
When the four eyes are opposite each other
The apartment of Yi Sheng is a typical studio, small yet fully equipped. After Yi Sheng opened the door to let Song Anchen in, Song Anchen began to take in her place, not deliberately scrutinizing it but rather casting a casual glance. Yi Sheng invited him to sit on the sofa, hesitating slightly, "Please have a seat, I will go see what there is to eat." She turned and walked towards the kitchen, while Song Anchen watched her, his gaze carrying a peculiar charm, half-smiling.
Her lifelong self-esteem had truly been trampled upon. She had intended to seek help from her senior brother, but her calls went unanswered. Seeing her attempt to call several times without anyone picking up, Xiao Li couldn't help but sarcastically remark: "Actually, if Xiangxiang doesn't think highly of me, she can just say it directly. There's no need for all these tricks. I know that you nurses have raised your standards; you used to be just caregivers under the hospital's banner, but now even caregivers have upgraded their qualifications, so naturally, the requirements have increased.
For a lifetime, she could feel the warmth of his breath. His pair of inscrutable eyes, seemingly affectionate yet teasing, gazed at her with a smile as he leaned down slightly. As she saw him gradually approaching, she found herself with no place to retreat, and she closed her eyes tightly, displaying an expression of facing death with courage. However, after waiting for a long time, nothing happened as she had anticipated. She slightly opened her eyes and saw Song Anchen in a good mood, looking at the Rolex watch on his left wrist.
Xiao Li's brother seems to have a good impression of her life, completely ignoring her tardiness. "To be honest, I am a newly rich person. In recent years, I have made tens of millions by raising alligators. My mother thinks that since I am in my thirties, I should find a wife and have children."
He took out his phone and opened the multimedia document, which contained only two photos, both of which were group pictures. One showed her with her refreshing short hair, wearing a light blue Teenie Weenie hooded long shirt, with her hands wrapped around him from behind, smiling brightly, while he remained serious. She had once complained that he was unwilling to take pictures with her, but that was not the case; it was their first time being intimate, and he was simply shy.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, "Ye Yisheng, what are you doing?"
Her actions are truly a case of desperate measures, fearing death and taking medicine indiscriminately
Watching him busying about from behind for a lifetime, I felt somewhat dazed. The way he tied his apron exuded a warmth of home, and his handsome profile, serious and focused, added a sense of intimacy. For some reason, as I watched him, my nose began to tingle with emotion. ... Such a man ...
Yisheng's mouth twitched, wanting to cry but having no tears; her greedy mouth was quite something. Song Anchen stood up, preparing to start clearing the dishes, but Yisheng shivered and quickly stopped him, saying, "I'll do it, I'll do it. You go sit on the sofa and watch some TV."
She put down her phone and took a look, feeling a chill run down her spine. The agreed time was 3:00, and it was exactly 3:00 now. This Zhao Jixiang is truly a predatory woman. She coughed softly and said, "I will fly to your side at the speed of light"
Zhao Jixiang was almost losing her temper. Upon seeing her friend rushing over, she pointed at the coffee shop and said, "That person has been waiting for quite a while, and you have completely ruined the image."
She chuckled and said, "Of course, I have always been very gentle." She forced a laugh for a moment, but since only she was laughing, she found it uninteresting and stopped laughing.
Zhao Jixiang continued to whisper in her ear, "My mother loves to eat alligator turtle meat, that's how we got to know each other"
Seeing Song Anchen sitting honestly on the sofa watching television, Yi Sheng squinted her eyes. Was he not tired? The thought made her yawn herself. She shook her head to stop herself from feeling sleepy; she needed to stay awake.
Throughout one's life, one has a demeanor that seems to say, "You should hurry up and die."
Song Anchen simply smiled and walked towards the door, with a lifetime following him slowly
Is that so? A chilly retort came from the other end, causing a shiver to run through me, yet I continued to act coyly on the surface, sweetly declaring: "Darling, you clearly know you are my heart and soul. A day without seeing you feels like three autumns. I feel as if a day without seeing you is like a thousand years. My dear, it has been thousands of years since I last saw you, I miss you so much! Be good, come here, mua"
What? Little Li's brother opened his mouth in shock. Seeing him with such a terrified expression was very hurtful; although she was not a stunning beauty, she could at least be considered somewhat attractive. Did he really think that no one would want her?
It is not that she does not stockpile food, but rather that she feels it is unnecessary. During work hours at the hospital, she eats there, and if she gets hungry at night, she can simply prepare instant noodles. Of course, she would never use the instant noodles from the storage room to entertain him
The two individuals were momentarily taken aback, but it was Zhao Jixiang who reacted first, swallowing hard and urging the other person to sit down.
The agreed arrival time at the café is 3:46 PM. This is the fastest speed she has ever achieved in her life. Although this café is not far from her home, being directly across from the restaurant where Yanhang took her for a meal last time, she still needed to take her time to prepare her appearance, which caused a slight delay.
She opened the refrigerator, first checking the refrigerator compartment for any vegetables. To her dismay, she found nothing but a few tomatoes, some shriveled green onions, a row of eggs, and a few bottles of carbonated drinks. She thought to herself that this was not good, and quickly opened the freezer compartment, only to find it even worse, with just a few frozen chicken wings left. She pondered that with so little food, she didn't know what to make. Closing the refrigerator, she shyly approached Song Anchen and said, "Um, let's eat out; there isn't much at home." She thought to herself that with so little food, she didn't know what to make. Closing the refrigerator, she shyly approached Song Anchen and said, "Um, let's eat out; there isn't much at home."
A lifetime is awakened by the riotous ringtone of a mobile phone. She groggily fumbled for her phone, saw that it was a call from Zhao Jixiang, and instantly became alert, quickly bouncing up to answer the call
She! Zhao Jixiang was the first to point her finger at Yisheng. Yisheng was taken aback for a moment and glared angrily at Zhao Jixiang. Zhao Jixiang had a face full of compassionate and moving expression, as if to say, if you do not play along, I will immediately die in front of you.
Song Anchen, who had returned to the parking lot, did not drive away for a long time. He remained seated in the car, his gaze deep and contemplative, as if he were pondering something with great focus. He rubbed his forehead, an inexplicable melancholy etched on his face
A lifetime of black lines on the face, what kind of logic is this? She whispered to Zhao Jixiang, "Can I cut through the chaos with a swift knife?"
Look at what he is saying, what does he take women for? As mere tools for reproduction? All his life, he has been whispering in Zhao Jixiang's ear, "How could your mother introduce such a person to you?"
Song Anchen seemed to be taken aback that he would say such a thing in his lifetime, first stunned, then breaking into a radiant smile, "Alright"
The two individuals locked eyes once more, and she felt as if she might faint from the overwhelming embarrassment. It was truly too awkward for her; it was her own hands that had acted so inappropriately. What was she thinking, trying to take advantage of the situation? Now caught red-handed, her shame could reach the Pacific Ocean.
"You... if you don't believe me, I will call him." Life was extremely displeased with his contempt. Brother Xiaoli wrinkled his nose, "I want to see what kind of boyfriend Xiangxiang has."
