Chapter 416 What a coincidence
Not all unexpected encounters are worthy of surprise.
At least at this moment, neither the sitting Hong Xiaoyu nor the standing girl could see any joy on their faces.
“What a coincidence.”
Unable to escape, Hong Xiaoyu stood up and forced a smile.
Standard awkward yet impolite.
Of course this girl is none other than Ren Miao, who declined him before but came to dinner with other men.
It can be seen that Ren Miao's mood is not very calm at this time, but life is not a movie, there is no script, so people often don't have time to prepare.
"...A friend of mine came to see me, and I invited him over for dinner..."
Ren Miao explained subconsciously, and instinctively looked in the direction of the young man.
Hong Xiaoyu, who watched the two people enter, certainly knew it well. Although he was "cowardly" before, now that they bumped into each other, he at least still showed his magnanimity as a man.
“This is my brother, this is my brother’s friend, Sister Qianqian.”
Jiang Chen smiled slightly, “Hello.”
Shi Qianqian was very kind Looking at it symbolically.
Ren Miao smiled unnaturally at them as a greeting.
"Then I won't disturb you."
Hong Xiaoyu nodded.
Ren Miao leaves.
He sat down again.
“Your classmate?”
Shi Xixi asked.
Hong Xiaoyu explained: "No, my friend."
"Like her?"
Miss Shi was as cheerful as ever.
Hong Xiaoyu's face suddenly turned red and he hesitated to speak, but he couldn't say anything. His embarrassed look amused Shi Qianqian, who had vicious eyes.
"If you like it, just like it. If there is anything you shouldn't admit, learn from Brother Qi. Your brother is..."
Jiang Chen quickly interrupted.
“Don’t talk nonsense.”
Shi Qianqian glanced at him, but didn’t say any more, saving some face for him as her elder brother.
“Have you confessed your love?”
Shi Qianqian looked at Hong Xiaoyu again.
"No, no..."
"Since you like her, why don't you confess her love?"
Shi Xixi asked strangely.
Hong Xiaoyu couldn’t resist.
“You think you’re just buying something in a mall and trying it out after you like it?”
After all, Jiang Chen didn’t just sit idly by.
"What's the difference? If you don't confess your love, how can you be with her?"
Shi Qianxi turned her head without thinking.
Jiang Chen was speechless.
That's right.
Talking this to this aunt is probably equivalent to playing the piano to a cow.
In her world, feelings may be no different from shopping in a mall.
Given her background, she basically does not consider price when shopping, and the same is true in love.
Anyone she likes will probably be doomed, and she will not worry about the other person's wishes.
Being happy with each other is of no importance to her.
There have been too many cases, so what if you are as outstanding as Sun Xiyu and Sun Dashao?
If not, I will still be helpless and have no temper.
Of course.
Now a good man has stepped forward to take his place.
"Sister Qianqian, I may already have someone I like."
Hong Xiaoyu smiled bitterly.
Shi Qianqian turned her head and glanced at the young man who didn't look like a student but had a good temperament.
She quickly turned around, still disapproving.
"So what if you have someone you like, you can get divorced even if you get married, and didn't that girl just say that she was just a friend?"
Hong Xiaoyu was speechless.
Shi Qianqian leaned forward and raised the corners of her mouth seductively.
"Do you need Sister Qianqian to help you? As long as you are willing, I will keep it for you so that you can be a beautiful woman."
This aunt's use of "Sister" is becoming more and more smooth.
Hong Xiaoyu was at a loss and could only look to his cousin for help.
Jiang Chen couldn't laugh or cry about this girl's old ways.
"Can you calm down for a while? He can handle his own affairs."
He did not doubt this aunt's ability at that time.
It’s just that because of the other party’s character, if she is allowed to intervene, I don’t know what trouble will be caused.
Relationships have indeed gradually become a business in this era, but Jiang Chen still doesn’t want his cousin to be eroded too.
Shi Qianqian’s method of forced buying and selling is not suitable for use in her cousin’s world.
"Yes, Sister Qianqian, thank you for your kindness, I can handle it myself."
Hong Xiaoyu quickly echoed.
Even if the other person doesn't recognize life, he doesn't have the same big heart. When they met for the first time, he asked someone to help him chase a girl, which he couldn't accept.
Shi Qianqian didn’t force it either.
"Okay, but if you need Sister Qianqian's help, you're welcome."
Hong Xiaoyu nodded with a smile, then excused himself to go to the bathroom and left his seat.
“This brother of yours is not much like you.”
Shi Qianxi muttered.
“What do you mean?”
“He is a little shy, too shy.”
Jiang Chen frowned, “Why do I feel that you are beating around the bush? Me?”
“No, I’m praising you.”
Shi Xixi smiled sweetly.
Jiang Chen was too lazy to argue with her, "You sit down for a while first."
"Why are you going?"
Jiang Chen ignored him, got up and left.
At this time.
Hong Xiaoyu, who said he was going to the bathroom, was hiding in an unoccupied place and talking on the phone.
“Hurry up and talk to Dayong and the others, Jianghu is here to help.”
Jiang Chen quietly walked behind.
"No way? The three of you can't even make up one thousand? Where's the eight hundred? Do you have the eight hundred? I'll pay you back next week."
Hong Xiaoyu said eagerly , did not notice the approach of my cousin at all.
Still young.
Too good-looking.
Jiang Chen raised his hand and patted his shoulder.
Hong Xiaoyu was startled, turned around, and hung up the phone quickly like a thief.
“Brother.”
He put down his phone with a guilty conscience.
“What are you doing?”
Jiang Chen asked with a smile.
"It's nothing. My roommate called me and it's okay."
"You are still students now, and your roommate only has a little living expenses every month. What do you want to do?" Want someone to eat instant noodles with you?”
He went to his cousin’s dormitory in the afternoon and saw that his cousin’s roommates were not from rich families like Mr. Luo, they were all children from ordinary families.
Hong Xiaoyu’s expression stiffened, and then he said awkwardly: “Brother, you heard it all...”
"I'm your brother. There's no reason for you to pay for the meal. I've already settled the bill."
After a pause, Jiang Chen continued: "I also helped buy the girl's table."
Hong Xiaoyu seemed to have his thoughts read through. He muttered, as if he had something to say, but for a long time he could not utter a single word.
Having come from this age, Jiang Chen can understand his thoughts.
“It’s not a bad thing to be competitive, but in everything, one should go too far. The most important thing when pursuing a girl is sincerity. Don’t think that if you are willing to eat instant noodles for a month or two just because you are willing to eat them, You will be moved, and maybe you are the only one who will be moved in the end.”
Even for the two brothers, Jiang Chen can’t speak too straightforwardly about some things.
It is actually the stupidest behavior to pretend to be fat.
Others actually know how much you weigh.
Hong Xiaoyu lowered his head.
"Brother, am I a coward? I obviously have no ability, but I still want to..."
"You are still studying, don't have too high demands on yourself. It's not fair to yourself."
Jiang Chen patted his shoulder, "Go back."
Look Looking at his cousin who turned around, Hong Xiaoyu was slightly startled, feeling that there seemed to be profound truth in his cousin's plain and simple words, so he hurriedly followed his cousin's footsteps.
Ren Miao and the young man left first. When they planned to pay, they should have been told by the waiter to settle the bill.
The young man looked towards Hong Xiaoyu, probably wanting to come over to say thank you, but was stopped by Ren Miao.
Soon after the two left, Jiang Chen and others also walked out of the restaurant.
“Brother, I’m going back first.”
Jiang Chen and Shi Qianqian sent him to the gate of the University of Geosciences.
“Well, I’ll see you another day.”
Jiang Chen nodded.
"Sister Qianqian, goodbye."
Hong Xiaoyu is very polite. "Goodbye."
Shi Xixi smiled kindly.
Hong Xiaoyu turned around and walked towards the school gate.
“I like this kid.”
Shi Qianqian said in an old-fashioned manner,
Jiang Chen was speechless.
This aunt seems to be not much older than his brother.
“Let’s go.”
When Hong Xiaoyu walked into the school gate, he turned around and saw his cousin and Sister Xixi, whom he had just met, getting into an RV of a brand he didn't recognize. A man with a cool temperament in a suit and leather shoes helped open the door.
Watching the low-key and luxurious RV drive away, Hong Xiaoyu withdrew his gaze and continued walking toward the bedroom alone.
Suddenly.
The phone rang.
Absently, he took it out and looked at it, his eyes fluctuated for a moment, and then he connected.
“Have you finished your meal?”
It’s Ren Miao.
"Well, I just finished eating."
"Where is your brother?"
"They left."
"Where are you?"
"I'm at school."
"Wait for me in the political and educational building, I'll come to you."
The depressed Hong Xiaoyu has not yet Before I had time to speak, the phone had already been hung up.
Politics and Education Building.
Ren Miao trotted all the way, beads of sweat on his forehead.
Hong Xiaoyu, who had waited for no more than ten minutes, forced out a stiff smile.
"What's wrong?"
"I want to explain to you what happened today."
The girl was a little breathless.
Inexplicable panic hit his heart, and Hong Xiaoyu instinctively wanted to escape.
"No need to explain, I know..."
He said quickly.
“What do you know?”
The girl looked directly at him bravely.
Hong Xiaoyu didn’t dare to look at the other person, and looked sideways, not knowing what to say.
“His family and mine are business partners. We have known each other since we were very young, but we don’t have regular contact. He called me at noon today and said that he was doing business nearby and stopped by to see me. You just happened to..."
"It's okay. People come to see you, and you should entertain them."
Hong Xiaoyu deliberately pretended to be nonchalant.
“You bought the order for me?”
Ren Miao asked immediately.
If you look carefully, you can see that she has a few freckles on her nose. She is really pretty, not pretty, but there really isn't that much truth to say about feelings.
“It’s not me, it’s my brother.”
Hong Xiaoyu explained quickly.
Now that I think about it, I am indeed naive.
It’s not like Ren Miao didn’t know how much he weighed, so he pretended to be fat, but he was just deceiving himself.
“You have a brother, why didn’t you tell me?”
Ren Miao smiled.
The atmosphere seemed to relax instantly.
“Not my brother, but my cousin.”
"Oh, he's quite handsome."
"That's right."
"Where's that sister? Is she your brother's girlfriend?"
How do you feel when someone talks to you in a few words? Hong Xiaoyu, who had turned from gloomy to sunny, didn't know how to answer for a while.
"...I don't know for sure, maybe they are just friends."
"Looks like he is very rich."
Ren Miao seems to be joking.
Hong Xiaoyu said that he once saw her family driving a Qixi to send her to school.
Five series is the ceiling for ordinary people.
The Seven Series has been separated from the mass class.
But at this level, it’s still impossible to peek into Miss Shi’s world.
It’s not surprising that she doesn’t recognize high-end clothing that can easily cost six figures, but Ren Miao can still identify it with the LV logo on it.
With her sixth sense, she knew it was not a fake.
"This is also the first time I've met her."
Hong Xiaoyu is very honest and has nothing to hide.
"Your brother rarely comes to see you, right? He works in Seoul?"
Ren Miao asked casually.
"No, he is still in school."
"Still in school?"
Ren Miao was a little surprised, "Is he also in Seoul?"
"No, in Donghai. Donghai University."
Hong Xiaoyu said, "He came to Seoul this time to accompany Sister Qianqian on a business trip."
"Oh."< br>
Ren Miao nodded and did not dig deeper.
“Where is your...that friend?”
Hong Xiaoyu asked tentatively.
"He has gone back. He is quite busy at work. I didn't expect that he could come to see me today."
Ren Miao explained with a smile.
Actually, Hong Xiaoyu wanted to ask if he liked you at this time, but the words came to his throat, but he lacked the courage to say them out. Instead, he said, "I'll take you back to the dormitory."
Ren Miao nodded.
The two walked down the steps.
“Are you still angry?”
Ren Miao turned his head.
Hong Xiaoyu had a stiff expression and forced a smile: "Why am I angry?"
"I thought you thought I lied to you, so I was angry."
"No .”
“It’s okay if you’re not angry.”
Ren Miao seemed relieved.
"How about making an appointment to see when your brother is free, and I can treat your brother to a meal?"
Hong Xiaoyu was caught off guard, and then a wave of uncontrollable ecstasy surged in his heart.
Ren Miao wants to treat his brother to dinner?
What does this mean?
"...B-it's better not to use it."
He politely declined.
"Your brother bought the order for us today. I should treat him to a meal in return."
Hearing this, Hong Xiaoyu gradually calmed down.
What are you thinking about?
People are just reciprocating courtesy.
"It's okay, my brother has always been like this. He is very generous, don't take it to heart."
Hong Xiaoyu tried his best to put gold on his cousin's face.
If Jiang Chen were here, he would definitely be very happy.
But he is not lying.
Jiang Chen has indeed never been a stingy person. After all, he dared to invite Mr. Luo and others to drink at KIMI before relying on part-time work-study studies. Most people would really be reluctant to do so.
“Is it really your brother who paid for it?”
The girl confirmed again.
Hong Xiaoyu looked confused.
"Don't lie to me. I'll feel bad if it causes you to cut back on your clothes and go on a diet."
The girl teased in the tone of a friend.
Hong Xiaoyu smiled awkwardly.
"It's really my brother. My monthly living expenses are so little. Even if I want to buy something, I can't afford it."
"That's good."
The two chatted and walked side by side, but they were always a fist away from each other, neither far nor close.
Hong Xiaoyu was ready to move and wanted to touch the hand that was so close, but he could never muster the courage.
“I’m here.”
The girl stopped.
The girls dormitory building is on the left.
Hong Xiaoyu felt disappointed, knowing that he had missed another opportunity.
"Okay, you go up."
"See you later."
"See you later."
