Chapter 239 Strange
Chapter 239 Strange
Is Xu Mingyuan hypocritical?
Of course, he had some intentions. After all, he had been in business for many years, and he was still engaged in real estate, so he had to build good interpersonal relationships. After being in contact with all kinds of people for a long time, he had to have many fake social events, so Xu Mingyuan had to be hypocritical.
Although Xu Mingyuan has been trying to change, and will refuse any social drinking parties whenever possible, this is not his nature that can be changed overnight. It has already seeped into his bones and can only be eliminated bit by bit.
"You say I'm hypocritical, so you're not hypocritical anymore?"
Xu Mingyuan looked at Lin Jing, who was good at disguise.
"I'm a girl, how can I be called hypocritical? At most I can be called artificial." Lin Jing retorted.
"Tsk tsk, you are quite good at using your identity."
"If there are advantages, just use it. Why shouldn't I use it? Isn't it a waste?" Lin Jing said indifferently.
"You are honest." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"You're not easy to deceive, so I have to tell you the truth."
Lin Jing sighed, crossed her hands on the table, rested her plump chin on her arms, and looked discouraged.
"Ha, didn't you say you wanted to be self-reliant? Then try to be less clever. If someone throws you into the river one day, you'll regret it." Xu Mingyuan said.
"If I were thrown into the river, would you burn paper money for me?" Lin Jing looked up and asked.
"will not."
"Hehehe...you are so heartless. I will definitely burn it for you." Lin Jing said with a smile.
"You have feelings? You care most about immediate benefits, you don't care about feelings."
"The immediate benefits? Nonsense, I care about the future benefits too."
Lin Jing covered her mouth and chuckled, revealing her thoughts without reservation.
They casually chatted about their respective lives in college. It was impossible for Lin Jing to just slack off like Xu Mingyuan. She was under a lot of academic pressure. She and her classmates were all engaged in academic work. They had endless group assignments to do and academic papers to submit every day.
This time she returned to Nanxi just before the Chinese New Year, and didn't even celebrate the Lantern Festival. She had to go back after staying at home for more than 20 days. She didn't experience any happiness in college life, and felt more tired than in high school.
"I heard your classmates' website is doing pretty well?"
As they chatted, Lin Jing started talking about her classmates online.
"You have a lot of gossip. Did you hear it from Song Xiaowan?"
"I heard her say that, but there are people doing it in our school too."
"Campus network?" Xu Mingyuan asked.
"Oh hey, you are more informed than me? Are you investigating me privately?" Lin Jing changed the subject and chuckled.
"What do you have that I should investigate?"
"I don't look bad, do I?" Lin Jing asked.
"It's OK. How's the campus network?"
Xu Mingyuan took a sip of milk tea, which tasted like saccharin, and threw it aside without drinking it.
"Not bad? Oh." Lin Jing sighed and said, "Are you talking about the campus network? Not bad."
"Forget it." Xu Mingyuan was too lazy to ask any more questions.
"Not many people use it. It's similar to the classmate network you made. What can I say? Do you want me to give you a report?" Lin Jing was bored and placed melon seed shells on the table to form two matchsticks holding hands. She lit the table and said to Xu Mingyuan, "Alas, a broken mirror cannot be mended."
After saying this, he stared at the assembled matchstick man intently, then swept it into the pile of melon seed shells.
"I don't buy your tricks. Stop acting in front of me."
Xu Mingyuan smiled and ignored her.
"Just give it a try. What if you get fooled? Then I'll make a profit, right?"
Lin Jing changed her resentful look and said to him with a smile.
"Come on, you should make money from others." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"You have to be likable." Lin Jing leaned forward, took off her large-framed glasses and put them aside, and said, "I have a very good impression of you. You are talented and capable. I think we are a good match. How do you feel about being with Tao Shuxin? Do you want to change your taste?"
"No, a good horse never turns back, and you look too old."
"Puchi..." Lin Jing suddenly laughed out loud, and laughed for a long time. Then she stretched out her finger and shook it in the air, pointing at Xu Mingyuan and said, "You are the first person who said I am old. Hey, what's your taste? Little boys like girls who dress maturely, right?"
"That's a little boy. I like young and pretty girls." Xu Mingyuan said.
"I'm a little girl too, I can dress up, how about coming to my house? I'll change into the No. 3 Middle School uniform for you to see? Haven't seen you for a long time?"
Lin Jing raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at him playfully.
"Go away and play."
As Xu Mingyuan spoke, he threw the melon seed shell over.
Although it has been many years since I last saw Lin Jing in school uniform and I have forgotten what she looks like in school uniform, does Xu Mingyuan still need her to wear the No. 3 Middle School uniform for him? There is a little Yang Zhi who wanders around at home all day.
"I'm not kidding you, I'm serious."
Lin Jing brushed off the melon seed shells on her shoulders and stared at him.
Seeing that his expression did not change and he was just looking at her absentmindedly, Lin Jing had no choice but to leave their interlocking sights and choose to retreat.
"What do you mean? Are you looking for support?"
No matter how maturely the little girl dresses, her mental quality is definitely not well-trained yet, so she is no match for Xu Mingyuan.
"You're dreaming." Lin Jing sneered, but then thought about it seriously for a while, and said with a half-seriously half-sincerity smile: "It's not impossible, what are you going to give me?"
"Forget it. I can't afford the price."
"No money, how about that?"
"Haha, it's even scarier if you don't ask for money. Nothing good will happen to you. Forget it, I'm leaving first."
Xu Mingyuan threw down the melon seeds, stood up and was about to leave.
"Hey, hey, hey! Xu Mingyuan, why did you come to see me? Why are you leaving before you even explain clearly?"
When Lin Jing saw him lift the curtain and leave, she quickly put on the coat hanging on the wall.
"Didn't I tell you? We were just chatting." Xu Mingyuan turned around and said. Lin Jing hurriedly paid the bill and chased after him, saying, "I was just joking. You're not so petty, are you?"
"No, see you next year." Xu Mingyuan waved his hand and said.
"You, please take care of my business. Do you have the nerve to let me treat you?"
"Sorry."
"Hey!"
……
Xu Mingyuan finally returned home with a bag of dried fruits.
Being with the lovely Tao Shuxin every day, I am almost becoming mentally retarded by her wild and imaginative thinking.
There is also a well-behaved little Yangzhi at home, which makes Xu Mingyuan very confused.
Chatting with smart people about open topics can indeed increase your IQ. Some things are not as complicated as you think.
People like Lin Jing, what she wants is her own personal interests, and she can't hide it in front of Xu Mingyuan, so she says it generously.
Since little Yangzhi is so worried about being abandoned, just give her peace of mind.
Anyway, in the end, I can get back what I suffered from Tao Shuxin.
"Brother, are you back?"
"Yeah, you're back early."
Xu Mingyuan handed the dried fruits in his hand to her and hung his coat on the hanger by the door.
"Ok!"
Xiao Yangzhi nodded vigorously. A few days ago, when she was on vacation, her brother always went out early and came back late, and he would not come back until dinner time. I didn't expect him to come home so early today. It was not even three o'clock in the afternoon.
"Is your good Uncle Xu coming home today?" Xu Mingyuan asked.
"Uncle said he would come back in two days for the Lantern Festival."
"Forget about coming back. You won't have to wash more dishes. Have you finished your homework?"
“Well, it’s all finished.”
"Don't read after you finish writing. You'll have plenty of time to read after school starts. Come over and play some games with you."
"Okay."
Yang Zhi was stunned. He threw down his homework book without putting it away. He followed briskly, sat next to Xu Mingyuan, and played the bomber game with him.
The weather is getting warmer, but the heating is still on.
As if to lay the foundation for the next heating, the heating company was burning the remaining coal, raising the temperature in the room by at least three or four degrees, so that it was not cold even wearing thermal underwear.
But Xiao Yangzhi still huddled up in her coat. After playing for a while, she whispered, "Brother, it's a bit cold."
"With a blanket."
"My hands are cold."
"Then I won't play anymore."
Xu Mingyuan rubbed her head and turned off the computer.
Yang Zhi opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't have the courage to say it.
Yang Zhi is very happy today, as if she has returned to the same day last year.
At that time, my brother treated me like a child. Although he would criticize me, he would not push me aside.
Xu Mingyuan didn't care. It was nice to have a well-behaved little sister. She was pleasing to look at, soft and gentle as jade to hug, and her fragrance was refreshing and invigorating.
After checking Xiao Yangzhi's homework, Xu Mingyuan found it a bit difficult as she had not reviewed high school courses for a long time, but he still tried his best to point out her mistakes.
As the time for the news was approaching, Xu Mingyuan was watching TV as usual.
Seeing this, Xiao Yangzhi stopped dawdling in the restaurant. He quickly finished the last bite of rice, poured hot water and washed the bowl.
Then the peeling girl came online and leaned next to Xu Mingyuan to peel the oranges.
Xu Mingyuan snatched the orange from her hand, put half of it into her mouth, and said, "It's too sour, keep it for yourself."
"Well."
Xiao Yangzhi nodded incoherently.
She was happy, but her brother suddenly changed back to his old self, which made Yang Zhi feel a little uneasy. She was worried and anxious and started thinking about all kinds of things.
In fact, Xu Mingyuan didn't have as many things to worry about as she thought. He just did what he had to do and left everything to the future. He didn't think about those useless things and simply wanted to save himself some trouble.
But Yang Zhi didn't know. After overhearing Xu Mingyuan hanging up the phone, she quietly walked to the kitchen, got the thermos, came back, knocked on the door, and then gently pushed it open.
"Would you like some hot water to rinse your mouth?"
"Row."
Xu Mingyuan nodded and lay on the cushion to play on the computer.
Yang Zhi was thinking about this in the afternoon. When she saw that he didn't call her anymore, she felt a little secretly happy.
But she didn't show it, she just asked while pouring water: "Brother, aren't you going to call Sister Taotao?"
"Alas, she went to her little sister's house to play and couldn't take care of me."
"Oh……"
Yang Zhi felt a little disappointed, so he had to squeeze out a seat and stare at the laptop screen in a daze.
Xiao Yangzhi's thoughts are not like those of a normal person, but she looks like a normal person. However, Xu Mingyuan has long been accustomed to it.
Coupled with her cold and somewhat pitiful expression, Xu Mingyuan usually couldn't think of anything about her.
But it was no use now. Even though Xu Mingyuan knew that she might sneak over here in the middle of the night, he still chased her back.
My brother is acting weird today, but he feels really good.
Yang Zhi, feeling satisfied, decided to let her brother go today and not set the alarm clock at midnight...
