As Yu Minglang expected, the bracelet was perfectâit was just too small. Even for petite wrists like Xiao Qianâs, she needed to rub some hand soap on to barely get it on.
âWhere did you get this âgreen flower under clear waterâ? â asked Xiao Qian, who knew its value at first glance.
Yu Minglang chuckled, âI got it from my uncleâs.â
âDo you have any money left after buying this?â Xiao Qian joked.
Of course, she knew he wasnât short of money.
âI do, donât worry. I didnât get a chance to spend it.â
âIf itâs not enough, just say so. Iâll lend you some,â Xiao Qjan boldly offered. She had plenty of available cash on hand. She eyed him up and down, âYou didnât waste all your money wooing girls, until you canât even afford a lollipop, did you?â
Yu Minglang blurted out in embarrassment, âYou eat lollipops!â
âUhâ¦â Xiao Qian inadvertently looked down a little bit, causing both of them to feel awkward.
The female boss mentally berated herself for always confusing him with a character from her past life. Low-key, low-key.
Yu Minglangâs ears were slightly red. He thought he had a filthy mind, misconstruing such innocent words from her.
After a quiet moment, they went out for dinner in a little restaurant near the school. After the meal, it was time to say goodbye.
Yu Minglang and Qiao Zhen couldnât be away from the office for too long. Just before boarding the car, while the silly siblings argued, Xiao Qian pulled Yu Minglang to the side.
âAre you and Qiao Zhen close?â
âHeâs my brotherâwhy do you ask?â
âNothingâ¦â Xiao Qian let out a sigh in her heart.
It seemed like she had become involved in this mess.
Qiao Zhen was Yu Minglangâs brother, and in her past life, she was indebted to Shi Yu to the tunc of five million. She had no choice but to get involved.
She felt as though an invisible thread was pulling together a bunch of seemingly unrelated people and events. Once it started, it couldnât be stopped.
âNew school year starts the day after tomorrow, so rest up, stay hydrated, and write me at least two emails a week. I bought a phone card for you and put it under your pillow. Call me every three days, even if Iâm not there, you need to keep calling me. Once the class schedule is set, send it to me.â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
He tucked her hair behind her ear and carefully reminded her. Xiao Qian only started feeling like they were dating for the first time at this moment. This sweet and slow rhythm was pulling her in, slowly but surely.
âDuring the two weeks of the new school year indoctrination, try to join the choir. This way you can avoid the following training. If you canât get into the choir, pretend to have heat stroke, then pretend to be on your period. Donât blindly follow them like a fool.â
Xiao Qian raised her eyebrows, âAre you teaching me how to evade duties and be lazy during the new school year indoctrination?â
Couldnât he be more shameless? Whereâs his supposed integrity?
âThe original intention of the new school year indoctrination is not badâit can develop consciousness and forge resilience. Once you get involved, you can enjoy even the hardship. However, everyoneâs physical fitness is different. Your petite frame might get sunburnt after a little sun exposure. Plus, you guys arenât professionals. A few days of exertion doesnât make much practical sense.â
Yu Minglangâs heart ached at the thought of his baby girl getting sunburnt or overheated. She had delicate skin and a sharp mind. There was no need for her to join the bustling crowd.
Just because he enjoyed sports didnât mean he wanted to force his girl to be tough as well.
âYou donât want me to get dark to deter other guys from looking at me? There are many more young and handsome guys in college than an old man like you!â Yu Minglang touched her small face, it was really white.
âMy Xiao Mei isnât the kind of woman to change heart easily. You wouldnât be interested in those vulgar guys.â
Yu Minglang said this from the bottom of his heart. He didnât worry about these immature kids. His main concern should be to guard against fire, theft, and Zheng Xu. That guy was the real headache.
Xiao Qian laughed at his remark, âVulgar is used to describe women.â
âWhat should I say to describe men?â
âFat, short, poor, frustrated, rodent-faced, commoner, toe-nail pickerâ¦â
In the end, both of them burst into laughter.
âFourth Brother!â
A surprised voice came from behind them. They both turned around to see a girl in a pink dress standing not far away, her face full of surprise.
Wearing a pink princess-style dress on a slightly overweight girl, paired with a somewhat black face, it was hard to forget even if one wanted to.
Lin Xuanhua was thrilled to see Yu Minglang here.
Xiao Qian knew at a glance, by her attire and her slightly affected voice.
This must be a princess-like girl. And the look she gave Yu MinglangâXiao Qian didnât like it at all.
She glanced at Yu Minglang from the corner of her eye. He remained expressionless as always, showing no signs of emotional fluctuation.
âLin Xuanhua, how come youâre here?â
âI was admitted here, in the Beidao Normal School of Fine Arts. Fourth Brother, what are you doing here?â Lin Xuanhua saw her secret crush and her voice even started to change.
âYour fourth sister-in-law also goes to this schoolâXiao Mei, this is Lin Xuanhua, she was raised with me by the same dean. Lin Xuanhua, this is my girlfriend, you can call her Fourth Sister-in-law.â
Xiao Qian nodded and smiled at the shocked princess-like girl.
âWhen did you get married? Why didnât I hear my aunt say anything about it?â Lin Xuanhua glared at Xiao Qian, the daggers in her eyes clear.
Xiao Qian didnât even flinch and glared back. Afraid of her? You little girl!
The two women instinctively clashed in silence.
Yu Minglang didnât see, he was just annoyed.
He finally got to spend some alone time with Xiao Mei, and chat. How could these irrelevant people just barge in?
âXuanhua!â A young man ran towards them. Yu Minglangâs eyes lit up.
âHurry, your cousin is here to see you. Go quickly, donât let us hold you back!â Come on, someone take this colossal third wheel away!
âIâm not busy⦠Fourth Brother, you havenât introduced me to this girlâs department yet!â Lin Xuanhua stared at Xiao Qian, refusing to call her Fourth sister-in-law!
âWu Yunfei, over here!â Yu Minglang waved his hand as if he hadnât heard her. The man ran over, and Xiao Hei met him.
âCome on, Xiao Mei, letâs go say goodbye to them, we donât want to disturb them!â After saying that, Yu Minglang hurriedly pulled Xiao Qianâs hand, and they laid left, not even glancing back.
The corners of Xiao Qianâs mouth curved in a smile. See? Just as she said, Yu Minglang had a psychological obsession with neatness. He got annoyed even if he had to spend a second more with people he disliked..
