Love is Sweet 半是蜜糖半是伤 Chapter 7


 

Chapter 7 - An Old Friend

                With the roaring of the airplane as it took off, the airport disappeared from her sight under her feet. She felt her body flying over the wide ocean. With the tremor of the engine, the plane penetrated the clouds, heading its destination. She closed her eyes, rubbed her forehead. Yesterday night made her so tired.
 
               "Swing, swing to grandma's bridge, grandma calls me a good baby. One bag of sugar, one bag of fruit, grandma buys a fish to cook. The head is raw but the tail is burnt, Jump, jump, jump to the fish seller’s bridge, the baby laughs with joy." (a nursery rhyme)
 
　　   It was grandma’s voice!
 
　　   She smiled sweetly, curled up like a baby in her seat, and fell asleep 30,000 feet above the ground.
 
　　   "I really don't understand if you are here for business or to settle down". Sally who followed them to the business trip watched as DU and the driver worked together to tuck JiangJun’s giant suitcase into the back of the car.
 
　　   "The car has limited seats. Sally, you shall take the company car, Juno and I can take the taxi."
 
       "Okay, good!" Sally replied!
 
       "Not good at all" Juno muttered
 
　　   DU glared at her, held her hand, and pulled her into the taxi.
 
　　   "Thank you, we want to go to the International Club"
 
　　   After telling the driver their destination, he looked sideways out the window. His hand still held on hers.
 
　　   "You see..." She tried to withdraw her hand but his grasp was too firm for her to budge. "Why cry?"
 
       "What?"
 
　　   "Why did you cry in the plane when you were asleep"
 
　　   "How would I know? I was asleep."
 
　　   He brought her hand up to his lips, nibbling on it lightly.
 
　　   "Interesting, your smile is so sweet but your tears make you seem so fragile. Juno, what are you thinking about?"
 
　　   Her scalp was numb, and she pulled back her hand forcefully. She looked at him coldly, turned, and stared at the scenery outside the window.
 
　　   "Tomorrow, the top 8 candidates will come for an interview. You can eliminate 2 first, and we will discuss the final quota." He handed her some resumes. 

   "You still have some quotas left? Didn’t you just hire 2 people last year?"
 
　　   "The establishment of our new branch in the Mainland is still progressing. It is necessary to train up our manpower, and it is not a bad thing to reserve more talents"
 
　　  "Okay"
 
　　   "Training of the last batch in Singapore has ended, I will choose a few to work with you. You can decide what you want to do with them. Keep those competent ones."
 
        "Okay."
 
　　   "Go to bed early today, you look like a panda. You have been too busy this period."
 
　　   She arrived in her room, called her family, leaned next to the window and read the documents DU gave her, and suddenly, she was startled. . . . . . . .
  
　　   She strode into the interview office with her chin up, and the hem of Donna Karan black cashmere coat raised while she walked in front of the anxious interviewees. Sally followed behind her, "So cool, Her Majesty, are you going to a battle? Those poor kids outside seem so frightened of you."
 
　　   She gently raised the corner of her mouth. The game has started.
 
　　   "This last candidate......... 31 years old, ranked 2 and had 10 years of banking experience... Do you want her to come in now?"
 
　　   "Call her in."
 
　　  She leaned on the large leather chair and watched the pale woman walk in front of her.
 
　　   "This is Ms. Jiang Jun, Vice President of Asia Pacific, MH Investment Banking Department."
 
　　   JiangJun stood up gracefully and held out her hand. . .
 
　　  The girl looked at her and tried her best to stay calm while answering Sally’s question. JiangJun saw her glancing at her from time to time. JiangJun smiled at her, quietly, without saying a word.
 
　　   JiangJun said softly as the girl was about to leave. "Hi, Qiao Na. It’s been long since we’ve met."
 
　　   When she went back to the hotel, the expected encounter with this “old friend” made her grin. She took to the Haagen-Dazs.
 
　　   She declined Sally’s invitation for a night tour as she walked across the hotel lobby. There were soft footsteps behind her. She looked back and saw Jona's (Qiao Na) haggard face. She was wrapped in a dark jacket. It seems like she knows how to be afraid.
 
　　   "Miss Qiao? What a coincidence"
 
　　   "Coincidence or not, you should know it best."
 
　　   "I'm so sorry, I don’t know."
 
  "You did it on purpose, right? You knew from the beginning that we were interviewing for this job, so you arranged for us to pass the first stages of the interview, and gave us hope so that you can humiliate us in the final round. You are so cruel, you ruined me for 10 years already, and wanted to ruin my life?"
 
　　   She continued to hiss, "Let me tell you, I'm going to enter this company for sure. You would not be able to stop me in any way with your abilities."
 
　　   "..............."
 
  Jona persisted, "I waited 10 years to get this opportunity. MH is not a state-owned enterprise, and it is not a place where you can make the final decisions. Your boss is here, too. If I get eliminated, I will complain to him. I will go to your boss and complain that you are using power for personal gains..."
 
　　   Jiang Jun looked at her with a smile, this woman has really not made any improvements."I can tell you straight in your face now that you are not hired."
 
      "You...."
 
　　   "Don't you understand? Let me make it easy to understand for you. The rules of the game are set by me and I make the decisions to employ whoever I want. It is a pity that you are not eligible to play the same game like me!" Jiang Jun said as she turned to leave without looking back.
 
　　  In the era of hunters and prey, kindness is a double-edged sword. If you accomplish others, you hurt yourself. She will never hurt herself for others.
 
　　  Good people don't survive long but bad people live for a thousand years.
 
　　   "I’ve sorted through those people, these 2 are out"
 
　　   "This person who scored second is eliminated too?"
 
　　   "She went to all four major domestic banks and worked in a low position, indicating that there are problems with her interpersonal skills and teamwork skill."
 
　　   "OK!"
 
　　   She smiled and watched as DU pushed the two resumes into the shredder.
 
　　   "After the event is over, I will introduce you and Sally to the tycoon here and go out to party!"
 
　　  Grandpa Mao (Mao Ze Dong) has taught us to treat comrades as warm as spring and enemies as cruel as the harsh winter.
 
　　  She firmly agrees and carries the spirit of his old man.


 

The Love Equations 舟而复始 (致我们甜甜的小美满) Chapter 12


Chapter 12 - Fuse

"Teacher, can we not have class today?" Li Duyou asked Zhou Xiao. Pfft! If he didn't want class he should have said earlier, why did he deceive her here, cause her to not be able to go on a date with Zhao Fanzhou.

"Why? If we are not having class then I am going back." Just nice, she can go surprise Zhao Fanzhou.
.
"No, no, it's chatting, um—yes, practice speaking."

"Okay." Anyway, he is the boss since he is paying anyway.

"What do you want to talk about?" Zhou Xiao was most afraid of looking for topics to chat with others.

"Anything." Such a brilliant smile! Showing off his white teeth?

"Why do you want to learn Chinese?"

"In Korea, a lot of people learn Chinese." Strangely, aren't Chinese obsessed with Korean dramas, how come Koreans love learning Chinese? It must be that they finally understand the profoundness of the Chinese culture, pfft! Give us back our Dragon Boat Festival, otherwise, we will choke you! Zhou Xiao began to imagine the situation of taking dumplings choking Li Duyou, and couldn't help laughing.

"Teacher, what are you laughing at? You smile so kawaii." Strange, isn't he Korean, why speak Japanese! When he praised her, she was still shy at the start, but later she became immune to it. This person's praise is too worthless. He can praise almost everything. I remember once he said to her: "Teacher, outside, very beautiful little bird." When she saw it, she saw a blackbird which stopped on the wire. According to her little poor biological knowledge, it should be a sparrow that wants to become a phoenix.

"Teacher, what do you do during the Spring Festival?" What?? If it weren't for his innocent kindness, she really doubted whether he was teasing her.

"What festival did you say?"

"Spring festival." Well, forgive the Chinese level of foreign friends, Zhou Xiao took a deep breath, "What do you mean by Spring festival?"

His face was puzzled: "Don't you know the Spring festival? Don't you teach Chinese?"

Zhou Xiao is very helpless: "Of course I know the Spring festival, but I guess the meaning I know is different from what you know." "Why not the same? Teacher, your Chinese is not good..." God! Don't force her to strangle him! "You take out the dictionary and check it for me." 

After a long time, the Korean dictionary turn spring festival into 青春期 (adolescence) or 思春期 (puberty). Is it right for Korea children to love puberty? Is the person who compiled the dictionary responsible? Caused her to be called not good at Chinese. After explaining to him for a long time, he finally understood the difference between the two, she really admired herself!

The chicken and duck talked for a long time and finally came to an end. Zhou Xiao glanced at her watch. It was half-past four. She and Zhao Fanzhou agreed to meet at four o'clock below the International Student Department. Died, she hurried down. "Teacher!" Li Duyou suddenly stopped her again, "I am going down too, let’s go together." 

She had no choice but to walk down with him, and she saw Zhao Fanzhou standing at the corner of the stairs, talking on the phone. Zhou Xiao pointed to Zhao Fanzhou and said to Li Duyou: "That person who is on the phone is my boyfriend." The implication is that I will go on a date with my boyfriend. So shoo as far away as possible? Sure enough, she cannot be too gentle with foreigners. Li Duyou just nodded and followed her to Zhao Fanzhou.

Zhao Fanzhou noticed them when they walked downstairs together, this is the first time he saw the student she was teaching, he did not know she was teaching a boy who looked like  ...... ah ......a male lead from a Korean drama. "I will attend. She's here, bye." He hung up the phone, looked at them, and waited for her to introduce him. The two babyfaces standing together, look quite matching! When he asked her how her student looked before, she simply gave a vague answer: Ordinary. Being late and hiding the truth, increasing the crime, see how he cleans her up!

She could feel the smell of gunpowder in the air. She was only half an hour late. Is it necessary? 

Xiaolu always slowly puts on makeup in the dormitory, letting her boyfriend wait until the spider silk is out. Is it right to bully her when she is a good wife and a loving mother?

"Well, he is Li Duyou, he is Zhao Fanzhou." Zhou Xiao did not want to introduce. Li Duyou, have you heard of this phrase 一日为师，终身为父 (illa: Even if someone is your teacher for only a day, you should regard him as your father for the rest of your life.), your teacher is now in danger, may I trouble you to hurry up, go away and stop making trouble for the teacher.

"Hello." "Hello." The two shook hands politely.

Then the atmosphere suddenly froze. Li Duyou didn't intend to leave, nor did Zhao Fanzhou. Both seemed to be waiting for her statement. She had to embarrassedly say to Li Duyou: "We're leaving, goodbye."

"See you tomorrow." Li Duyou suddenly gave her a terribly bright smile, which surprised her, he didn't have to smile so brightly as if he met the people he depends upon for his livelihood.

Along the way, Zhou Xiao carefully looked at Zhao Fanzhou's expression. Although he said that he had always been expressionless, she still felt that his current expressionlessness was very scary. 

"Well, I'm sorry, I'm late, don't be angry ." Zhao Fanzhou glanced at her and said, "I'm not angry." 

He was so angry until he wanted to burst, see you tomorrow? If he let her see the little Korean devil tomorrow, then he is the devil! Zhou Xiao rolled her eyes, pfft, not angry? Who doesn't know that the angrier he is, the more expressionless his face is?

"Okay, you're not angry. Let's eat." She said a little coquettishly by shaking his hand. He didn't answer her, he was thinking in his head to find a way to prevent them from meeting tomorrow. The best way was to let her quit being a tutor.

She saw that he had no reaction, and felt a bit bored, he only waited for half an hour, why put on a sour face, what about those time that he made her wait forever when he had his stupid meeting.
He still had a sour face while eating. Zhou Xiao tried to ease the atmosphere several times and did not get his response. He only ate in silence.

"You are a song in my heart, a flower blooms in my heart..." His cell phone rang, hehe, she set it last time, he always rolled his eyes after listening to it, he wanted to change it, but she used her force to suppress him.

She glanced at it, and Jia Yichun's name flashed on it. She suddenly regretted the ringtone she set.

Zhao Fanzhou picked up the phone and started to stand up and walked outside. Shit! Isn't it just a phone call? Does he need to be so mysterious! !

She looked at him as he stood at the door and answered the phone, and suddenly felt very angry. Packed her bag and went out. When passing by him, she heard him say, "Don't cry, calm down” The tone was the tenderness she rarely heard. She thought he didn’t notice her, but he suddenly grabbed her hands, glared at her, covered the microphone and said, “Where are you going?” 

“Aren’t you answering the phone? I’ll go back first so I don’t hear I shouldn’t listen to." 

"Why are you unreasonably making trouble?" His voice brewed with anger and impatience. 

Okay, so tender to others, so impatient to her. Unreasonably making trouble, right? He hasn't seen what is real unreasonably making trouble yet. Time to show him today what is unreasonably making trouble. 

She suddenly grabbed his phone, and the phone was closed with a click. "This is unreasonably making trouble, now do you know?" 

“Are you crazy ?" He grabbed the phone and started dialling with one hand and grasping her with the other hand. Looking at him, she suddenly lowered her head to take a bite of his hand, he didn't expect this trick of hers and let go when she bit him. She dashed off with a loud jeer. If she was this fast when she took the 800 meters running test in high school she wouldn't have to retake the test so many times.

Zhao Fanzhou froze for two seconds and off his phone and chased after her.



My Little Happiness 我的小确幸 Chapter is 9.2


Chapter 9 - Showing the true colors (2)

Cong Rong pointed to his shopping cart, "I think I want that bottle."

Wen Shaoqing turned his head, glanced back, and smiled, "Oh, then you can just think about it."

Cong Rong took the bottle of yogurt from Wen Shaoqing’s hands fiercely and turned to walk to the checkout counter. Wen Shaoqing followed behind her.

After coming out of the supermarket, Wen Shaoqing watched her retrieve her suitcase from the storage area. He asked in a joking tone, "you are not going to continue to sleep in the law firm?"

Cong Rong calmly replied, "the heater in the firm will turn off at night, it would be cold."

Wen Shaoqing suddenly laughed, “want to have dinner together?"

Cong Rong was bewitched by that beautiful smile, and she followed him to his house and waited for him to open the door, she suddenly wanted to repent.

The sky was already dark. As soon as he opened the door, she saw a white shadow pouncing towards them, and Cong Rong immediately ducked behind Wen Shaoqing.

Wen Shaoqing chuckled softly, turned on the light, and bent down to touch Rang Yi Rang’s head. "It's very clever and it won't bite."

Cong Rong is still hiding in the corner by the door, "I know it won't bite..."

Wen Shaoqing coughed and laughed, "Rang Yi Rang, go play in the balcony."

Cong Rong looked at the balcony, the wind was strong at night and she suggested, "the balcony seems quite cold… It should stay here"

Wen Shaoqing raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "Are you sure?"

Cong Rong gritted her teeth, "Let it play in the study."

Cong Rong felt embarrassed to stand there and stare at Wen Shaoqing while he was cooking. She suddenly remembered the handwritten medical notes she saw previously at Zhong Zhen’s place and wanted to go to the study room to take a look. But remembering that Rang Yi Rang is playing there, she gave up this thought.

Cong Rong sat on the sofa and was wondering if she should go to the kitchen to help when the phone on the coffee table in front of the sofa suddenly vibrated.

Cong Rong glanced at the caller ID "Qin Chu" on the phone screen flashing and suddenly felt slightly uncomfortable. But thinking that there might be an emergency in the hospital, she ran to the kitchen door and called out to Wen Shaoqing, "your phone is ringing, your colleague is looking for you!"

Wen Shaoqing probably was busy with cutting and cooking, and he replied: "Please help me pick it up."

Cong Rong was about to pick up his phone call and saw that Rang Yi Rang suddenly rushed in front of her, staring at her intently.

Cong Rong was startled and immediately entered the kitchen. Being next to Wen Shaoqing made her feel safe.

Wen Shaoqing wiped his hands dry and picked up the phone. Cong Rong heard a female voice coming from the other end and heard him reply after some time: "No, I am already making it. It’s almost done."

The female voice at the other end said something again with a laugh. Wen Shaoqing glanced at Cong Rong, stared at her with an intense gaze, "Forget it, I have a friend here with me, it's inconvenient." Then he quickly hung up the phone, handed the phone to Cong Rong, washed his hands, and began to put salt into the pot.

Cong Rong could tell that Wen Shaoqing spoke to Qin Chu in a courteous but alienated manner, not like how Zhong Zhen guessed. She probed, "do you need to go back to the hospital to work overtime?"

"No, my colleague asked me to go out for dinner. She heard that I was cooking and asked to come. I rejected it." Wen Shaoqing explained concisely and asked, "How do you know Qin Chu is my colleague?"

"Uh..." Cong Rong was startled for a moment, hesitant to tell the truth and found an exclamation, "Zhong Zhen told me."

"Why would he tell you about this?"

"Nothing, just some gossips. He told me about the one Qing two Chu and you being very skillful with using lancets.'"

Wen Shaoqing focused on the last part of her reply, "do you often talk about me?"

"Not at all." Cong Rong felt that he would be able to tell something if the topic continues and decided to change the subject. He saw the unfriendly look on Rang Yi Rang’s face and leaned slightly towards Wen Shaoqing. "What's wrong with Rang Yi Rang?"

Wen Shaoqing looked at Rang Yi Rang and looked at Cong Rong. "I guess… you snatched his job. It would usually get the phone for me when it rings."

Cong Rong was speechless, and she accidentally became Rang Yi Rang’s rival.

Wen Shaoqing turned off the fire and brought the dishes to the dining table, "most of the time it pounces on you to play with you. It means that it remembers and recognizes you. It is also very naughty. If it finds your reaction every time you dodge when it pounces on you very interesting, then... did you find that every time it sees you, it would want to pounce on you? If you show fear, it knows that you are afraid of it and all the more it would pounce on you. If you remain calm, then it wouldn’t find you interesting anymore."

Cong Rong looked at Rang Yi Rang, and then looked at Wen Shaoqing. 

Wen Shaoqing stood at the table and called her, "come and eat."

Cong Rong didn't pay attention when she came to his house last time, only to find out this time that Wen Shaoqing is quite “swag”.

She pointed to the carved patterns on the chopsticks and asked, "the chopsticks are quite unique with these carved flowers. Where did you buy them?"

Wen Shaoqing gave her a bowl of soup and said, "It’s ordinary chopsticks from the supermarket, I bought them back and carved those flowers myself."

Cong Rong knew Wen Shaoqing's lancet skills were good but not to the extent of being “mad”. How bored was he to carve flowers on chopsticks?

Cong Rong sighed at his madness but immediately changed her attitude when she tasted the dishes

"This eggplant is delicious! How do you make it?"

"Hmm... this yam is nice too!"

"This pork rib is also delicious, but it's too spicy, I don't eat spicy food."

Cong Rong waved her chopsticks excitedly, but she could no longer keep her normal calm and serious looks. Wen Shaoqing stared at her for a long time, with a slightly complicated expression, "Why didn't I find out...that you are a foodie?"

There are two kinds of foodies, the first kind is those who eat whatever they see and find everything delicious. Cong Rong belongs to the second kind, who is extremely picky with food and is not usually a foodie. However, once she tastes something delicious, she will immediately turn into a glutton.



Loving You is the Best Thing I have Done 爱你，是我做过最好的事 Chapter 1.3



Chapter 1.3 - 苏叶 Perilla (3)

    Fortunately, not all the windows have been closed. She looked around, but she didn’t dare to make a noise. She squeezed the bill in her hand, not sure of what to do. Suddenly, the doctor she met this morning came out of the pharmacy, he saw her and laughed, "I was just waiting for you, was about to end work at five-thirty."

    Shen Xifan really wanted to confess her guilt by banging her head on the medicine cabinet, but he didn’t have any dissatisfaction shown on his handsome face, so she was slightly relieved. The doctor pushed her a pack of the medicine and told her, “twice a day, three days later come to take the remaining medicine."

    He spoke, his dimples looming, and they looked----so small!

    She immediately understood something, if he did not act cool and cold, who would be willing to seek treatment from such a delicate looking doctor?

    Shen Xifan was late as expected, carrying a large package of Chinese medicine, without any makeup. After seeing her, her mother hit her on the head, and she angrily jumped, "Hey I am a patient!" 

When she arrived at the restaurant that day, Shen Xifan still thought that her mother had finally been enlightened, no longer praising home cooking and asked her to eat French food. Who knows a while later, she saw a smiling auntie!

    "How come there are others? Where’s dad?" she asked while washing her hands.

    "Your dad has something to do in school, so I made a last-minute appointment, an old friend, her home is nearby. By the way, her son will come later." Mother Shen smiled harmlessly.

    What else can she do?

    At the moment, a young man was sitting next to the aunt, sneezing loudly and clearing his throat. She frowned, she absolutely detest people who like to attract attention, not to mention that he looked nothing like a prince and his face looked like the white horse beside the prince.

    "Waited a long time?" she asked politely.

    He looked up, his expression changed, looked a little stunningly, she was secretly happy, Shen Xifan is a flower even without makeup!

    "Yes, I'm going to a dinner party soon after this. You, going for blind dates at such a young age?" He said looking pensive, but she caught a faint disdain and arrogance in his eyes.

    Shen Xifan didn't want to care about him at all. What’s great about a highly eligible bachelor, the hotel has a great deal of such people. She sulkily picked up a knife and fork to concentrate on eating her foie gras and cheesecake.

    "White Horse" was a little surprised. Shen Xifan's elegant and graceful manner immediately made him have a favourable impression. He started to talk eloquently, from the mother-child relationship to the Iranian nuclear issue, and ended with "What do you like".

    "Work!" She pretended to play it down. "No choice, to be a hotel manager, one’s heart and mind must be on the guests!" 

He was not only not embarrassed, but he also continued the topic, "Well, work is good, I also like work..."

    Shen Xifan quickly pretended to look at her watch, "Oh, I have to be on duty tonight, you guys continue eating!"

After talking, she turns and left abruptly

    Shen mother was very angry, she really fell in love with this "white horse", just wanted to stop Shen Xifan, but the "white horse" jumped up and caught up with her.

    "Miss Shen!" 

“White Horse" hissed, "Please date me!"

    Shen Xifan's face turned white and shook her hand, "I'm sorry, I don't plan to date yet!"

    "White Horse" said to himself, " Miss Shen is pretty, is good at work, and you are very motivated. Yeah, I appreciate this point alot, women should be financially independent, cute and helpless-looking girls who rely on others are the type I resent the most ...... "

   So he already had a plan in mind, she wanted to vomit blood, but still continue pretending to be pitiful, "Thank you, but I am sick!"

    "White Horse" was surprised, "What illness does Miss Shen have, is it serious?"

    "Gynecological disease!" She raised the bag of Chinese medicine, " You know it's inevitable when working in a hotel......"

    Before she could finish her words, ”White Horse" had already run away, Shen Xifan took two steps, stomped into the bathroom, saw no one around, and laughed irresistibly against the wall...

My Little Happiness 我的小确幸 Chapter is 9.1


Chapter 9 - Showing the true colors (1)

"Shi Xiong (male senior)!" Cong Rong called Tan Size to stop him, "I plan to turn to non-litigation after two years. Since you took over some cases for the IPO companies, take me with you."

"Why? The female lawyer who does criminal defense is awesome. Every time you go to court, even the presiding judge looks up to you."

Cong Rong glanced at him, "I bet you want me to continue as a criminal lawyer to be your money-making machine. Actually, there are many non-litigation cases in the criminal business, such as the corporate criminal law risk prevention project you took up last year, that earned you a lot of money."

Tan Size plunged into her trap, "You are also one of the business partners, okay? I earn money for the company means you also get the money!"

Cong Rong slowly closed her trap, "you still remember I am your business partner?"

Tan Size was speechless. "You are the gold signboard we are defending. We cannot afford you not taking criminal cases."

"Come on, you took a lot of criminal cases in the past too."

"No, Cong Shi Mei (Shi Mei: female junior), my heart is very fragile. You can't let me touch too many shady things. It will make me want to become a monk!"

"You can."

"But I like women."

Cong Rong is too lazy to continue.

"Do you really want to turn to take non-litigation cases?" Tan Size shook his head and sighed out after getting an absolute answer from Cong Rong. "Alas, one less female lawyer doing litigation..."

Cong Rong’s office door closed as Tan Size walked out. Cong Rong glanced at the document at the corner of the table again. She has not handled medical disputes since she joined the industry. Everyone in the industry knows. In fact, medical disputes are the easiest cases to settle and win. In the face of the existing laws and social reality, this made the medical personnel a vulnerable group. 

Whether it is a medical accident or not, most patients will win the case, and the hospital will lose money. She can't stop others from taking these kinds of cases, but at least she can keep herself from handling them, because... Wen Shaoqing is a doctor. He is also a person who lives under such a circumstance. If something really happens to him... From the bottom of her heart, she didn’t want to see any medical disputes happening.

Cong Rong worked overtime in the office until the peak hours had passed and drove home. When she parked her car in the parking lot, he found that Wen Shaoqing's car which was parked diagonally opposite her. She sat in her car and stared at his, and suddenly felt she had no way to run.

Cong Rong decided to visit the supermarket, and encountered Wen Shaoqing which was no longer a surprise.

He was looking down at the manufacturing date of the yogurt in his hand, and there were a few bags of vegetables and fruits in his shopping cart.

Cong Rong has seen a lot of talented young men before. Most of them are powerful figures at work. She has seen very few homely ones like him.

He probably just got off work too, and his clothes weren't those home wear.

Cong Rong stood there, hesitating whether to walk away or say hello to him but Wen Shaoqing looked up.

She had no choice but to walk ever. "Hi..."

Cong Rong raised her hand and waved, then she wondered how she should address Wen Shaoqing.

Professor Wen? But it makes him sound so old.

Follow Zhong Zhen’s way of calling him boss? But it's a bit strange too.

Called Wen Shaoqing directly? It seems not so polite.

After a few seconds, she decisively called him: "Dr. Wen."

For this title, Wen Shaoqing's eyes flashed with amazement, and was soon replaced with a smile, and learned the title she gave him and replied, "what a coincidence, lawyer Cong."

Cong Rong was a little ashamed when she heard how he called her, he must have imitated her intentionally! Lawyer Cong... It was true that she is a lawyer!

Cong Rong turned her head to choose some yogurt. It seemed like there was only one bottle left from the brand she likes, and it was in Wen Shaoqing’s hands.

In addition to being a control freak in minor details, Cong Rong had a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder. She would not drink other brands of yogurt other than that brand. 

She picked up a random bottle of yogurt and handed it over to Wen Shaoqing and tried to suggest to him, "this brand is also delicious."

Wen Shaoqing looked at it, took the bottle of yogurt from her hand, and put it in his shopping cart along with the one he was originally holding.

Cong Rong stopped him, "you shouldn’t buy too much of it or it would not be fresh to refrigerate it for too long. So just take one bottle."

Wen Shaoqing handed back the bottle she suggested, and Cong Rong shook her head.

Wen Shaoqing felt her reluctance, "What's wrong?"



First Romance 初恋了那么多年 Chapter 3.2


 

Chapter 3 - Having a crush, is a solo waltz, so lonely yet so beautiful (2)

　　 Xiong Yifan was taken aback, immediately covered her mouth and gasped in surprise, "was I too obvious?"

　　 Ding Ming smiled and blossomed, and her big smile was as bright as the sun, "because I can easily read your mind."

　　 Hearing Ding Ming's answer, Xiong Yifan was slightly uneasy and raised her hand to cover her face. Her cheek was burning.

　　 "Will you make a move?" Ding Ming asked.

　　 "Of course." The voice came from between her fingers, monotonous, but firm.

　　 "I'll help you get his phone number?"

　　 "Wait, I'm not ready yet!" She turned, "I will do it myself."

　　 Ding Ming continued to giggle and started teased Xiong Yifan.

　　 Loving and having a crush on a person needs bravery. One without a crush can soar and fly in the vast blue sky like a bird. However, Xiong Yifan became a bird who fell in love with the blue ocean, she could plunge into the sea, tear her wings and wet her feathers for him, and longed to be embraced by the dangerous waves.

　　 The two got off the bus, quickly walked into the school, and encountered Tang Tang carrying a bag of something waiting at the school gate.

　　 Tang Tang saw the two of them, waved and smiled. Her smile was like the dew in the morning, pure and flawless, smooth, and tranquil, attracting many students to look at her. She is always under the spotlight, in the center of everyone’s eyes. 

　　 "Hey, our class chairperson is waiting for someone?" Ding Ming asked Tang Tang in a strange tone, probably because of the chairperson election incident.

　　 Tang Tang wasn’t bothered about Ding Ming’s unpleasant tone, she just smiled and nodded, then walked past them and called, "Xiao Bai."

　　Ding Ming and Xiong Yifan looked back together and saw Tang Tang greeting the teenage boy and handed him the bag she was holding on. The teenager took it over, said something inaudible, and they entered the school side by side.

　　Xiong Yifan could not hear clearly what they were talking about but felt extreme jealousy throbbing from within. Yes, jealousy. The feeling was more intense than that when she lost her chairperson position to Tang Tang. Intertwined with jealousy was sadness. The mixed emotions invaded her limbs and bones aggressively, giving her chills that were hard to conceal.

　　She looked at the pair walking in front of them and raised her hand to feel the hair on her. How ironic. Without a beautiful appearance, people lose interest in you and would never look at your inner beauty. No matter how beautiful and charming your personality is, it is pointless without good looks.

　　Ugly duckling’s probability of becoming a white swan is too low.

　　 The most pitiful thing is that the ugly duckling might be delusional.

　　 Walking into the class, Xiong Yifan suddenly became the focus, a group of girls swarmed to her, praising how "handsome" and "cool" her new hairstyle was. Yet, none of the praises were related to her becoming more beautiful.

        Qi Xiaosong jumped like a monkey in front of Xiong Yifan and looked at her for a long time before reaching out to touch her hair, "You finally did a makeover? You are more handsome than me now. You’ve snatched my position to become the most handsome person in our class."

　　 The others in the class immediately talked back, "who says you are the most handsome guy! Shameless!"

　　 "Apart from being taller and having fairer skin, how did that make you handsome?"

　　 "That is, if you are the only guy left in the class, maybe would be the most handsome guy in the class."

　　Qi Xiaosong is actually quite good looking. He can be regarded as one of the good-looking boys in the school cohort. But because he is cheerful and rarely gets angry, his classmates like to make fun of him and tease him.

　　Hearing her classmate’s comment, he blushed and gestured defeat, "Well, I admit, Xiong Ge has always been the most handsome person in our class."

　　Xiong Yifan was not in a mood today to make fun of Qi Xiaosong, she hadn’t recovered from her overwhelmed sadness.

　　Qi Xiaosong noticed Xiao Yifan’s abnormality and asked, "What's wrong with you? Is it the time of your month?"

　　 "No, I’m not on my period." Xiong Yifan impatiently replied and started to prepare for the next class.

　　Everyone in the class noticed Xiong Yifan’s bad mood and the crowd dispersed.

　　 Ding Ming knows Xiong Yifan best. She gestured to Xiong Yifan, and went to Tang Tang to inquire about the teenage boy. It took her less than ten minutes for her to get the information she needed, and she passed a note to Xiong Yifan. 

　　 The teenage boy is called Yan Ke, a prince-like name, but he also has a nickname called popular. The reason for that nickname is simple, that is, he will not get tan even if he is exposed to the sun. He and Tang Tang attended the children's literary class together when they were young and learned piano and swimming together. Because they always go to class together, the parents of the two also know each other. According to Tang Tang, Yan Ke’s mother was very beautiful and very kind. However, afterward, Tang Tang gave up learning piano because she couldn't keep up with the progress of the piano lessons. Instead, she learned dancing instead. Because of the conflict in the lessons, she stopped her swimming lessons as well. But in Tang Tang's words, according to her current swimming skills, even if she falls into the water, she would be able to save herself. It would definitely save her boyfriend the trouble when asked about who her boyfriend would save if his mother and girlfriend have both fallen in the water at the same time in the future.

　　Yan Ke had been studying piano and had won many awards.
