Translator: VinceStar Editor: PrisMiko
âIâm a girl, alright? Didnât I need to buy beautiful clothes? Didnât I have to buy cosmetics?â Sun Jie extended her fingers and counted them one by one to Yang Ming. âAside from these, I still have lunch every day at school. On average, there wasnât much money left!â
âYou still say that you are poor despite driving to school!â Yang Ming listened to Sun Jie and pointed it out. There was really not much money left as he thought about it, but he couldnât quit giving her a sarcastic remark.
âIt was an Alto [1] âŚâ Sun Jie looked helpless. âAt that time, we didnât have the subway yet. It wasnât convenient for me to go to school every day so my dad bought me an Alto. Besides, we ate here almost every day. If I spent five yuan a day on parking fees, isnât that too bad?â
âFine. That is still reasonable.â Yang Ming was too lazy to argue with her. It was rare for a daughter of a rich family like Sun Jie to spend only a thousand yuan every month. When Yang Ming was in high school, w.a.n.g Zhitaoâs family was far from Sun Jieâs and he had monthly pocket money that was more than a thousand.
During the conversation, the two people had already walked into the Home of Six Tastes. Sun Jie had sharp eyes as she shouted to a young woman who was ordering a meal, âYang Xin!â
When the young woman turned around, she noticed Sun Jie. Her face immediately showed a surprised but delighted expression. She ran to Sun Jie and gave Sun Jie a big hug. âXiao Jie, I missed you so much! When did you return to Donghai?â
âOf course, I have to go home for the Chinese New YearâŚâ Sun Jie smiled.
âThat is true!â Yang Xin let go of Sun Jie and said, âSo, why didnât you look for me to hang outâŚ? Oh⌠I know!â
As Yang Xin spoke, her gaze suddenly turned to Yang Ming as she smiled mischievously. âXiao Jie, youâre a bad girl. You didnât tell me when you had a boyfriend! You must be busy hanging out with your boyfriend these days!â
Yang Ming naturally nodded politely to Sun Jieâs best friend. âh.e.l.lo, my name is Yang Ming.â
âNot bad. He is quite handsome!â Yang Xin a.s.sessed Yang Ming, then nodded and said, âMy name is Yang Xin, Xiao Jieâs buddy during high school! Ha, our surname is even the same. We have to arrange ourselves. If youâre younger than me, you have to address me as your big sister!â
While Yang Ming spoke, he also a.s.sessed Yang Xin. Looking at Yang Xinâs outfit, she was obviously the daughter of a wealthy family, an easy going character that wasnât narrow-minded, a friend that would be worthy to have.
As for her appearance, Yang Ming didnât pay much attention. She was inferior to Sun Jie, but she was still a beauty. There were just too many beautiful women around Yang Ming and his standard for beauty was a bit high.
âItâs nice to meet you.â Yang Ming nodded politely. âThen I would call you Sister Xin.â
âAt least, you are self-aware. Iâm one year older than Xiao Jie!â Yang Xin said proudly, âI donât have a younger brother at home. Itâs great to go out and collect one.â
Sun Jie smiled and patted Yang Xin and said, âYou still havenât changed. When you went to school, you always wanted a younger brother!â
âYa, I didnât succeed at that time. I didnât think about it, but I took your husband as my younger brother!â said Yang Xin.
âI heard that you came with someone else? Is it Wu Yunsheng?â Sun Jie asked.
âWho else can the person be beside him?â Yang Xin said, âHe is ordering over there. Letâs eat together!â
âGreat, I was worried that there were no seats here!â Sun Jie nodded. Apparently, she was familiar with the person named Wu Yunsheng.
âXiao Jie, tell me. Did both of you do that?â Yang Xin glanced at Yang Ming and then whispered to Sun Jie.
However, what Yang Xin didnât know was that no matter how soft she spoke, it wouldnât work with Yang Ming. Yang Ming could read lips! But, when Yang Ming heard her question as such, he found it inappropriate to interject. He had to pretend not to hear anything.
âWhat?â Sun Jie glanced at Yang Ming with the corner of her eye. She noticed Yang Ming didnât look at her, so she whispered, âLittle lecherous girl, youâre not pure anymore! You must have done that with Wu Yunsheng, right?â
âEnâŚâ Yang Xin nodded a little shyly. âHave you done that? Donât lie!â
âNo.â Sun Jie herself was a little bit confused of her relations.h.i.+p with Yang Ming. What if they werenât together later on? Sun Jie certainly wouldnât admit anything.
âI donât believe you. Look at your chest. They got a lot bigger! They must be⌠ma.s.saged by my brother⌠HeheâŚâ Yang Xin smiled mischievously.
ââŚâ Although the relations.h.i.+p between the two were like close friends, after Sun Jie listened to Yang Xinâs words, she still couldnât help but get annoyed. âI noticed our Princess Taiping [2] during that year had become a lot bigger⌠Oh, I was wondering why you have such a deep understanding. It seems it comes from experience!â
âWhatâs wrong with that? Youâre dishonest! Do you want to deny it now?â Yang Xin said.
âOkay, okay⌠Think as you likeâŚâ Sun Jie said helplessly.
Yang Ming at the back had sweat all over his head at this moment. Arenât they too forthright? They are too mature and violentâŚ
âWu Yunsheng!â Yang Xin waved his hand to a young man not far away, and then said, âYou! Come over!â
After the young man heard it, he quickly put down the menu in his hand and then put in his order to the waiter next to him. He rushed over and then smiled and said, âXiao Xin, what happened?â
âDidnât you see Xiao Jie is here, too? What kind of eyesight is that?â Yang Xin glared and said to Wu Yunsheng.
Yang Ming couldnât help but smile and shake his head. Apparently, Wu Yunsheng loved Yang Xin very much. His eyes only had Yang Xin alone. He wasnât very concerned about things other than her and ignored them directly.
âSun Jie⌠Iâm sorry⌠I didnât bring my contact lens todayâŚâ Wu Yunsheng said awkwardly and found an inappropriate excuse.
However, Sun Jie knew of Wu Yunshengâs temper and she didnât mind him. âYou only have Xiao Xin in your eyes. Even if you wore contact lenses, you might not be able to notice me, right?â
âHeheâŚâ Wu Yunsheng smiled a little awkwardly.
âLet me introduce to you my new little brother â Yang Ming!â Yang Xin introduced Yang Ming to Wu Yunsheng. Then she said to Yang Ming, âThis is my boyfriend, Wu Yunsheng.â
âh.e.l.lo⌠little brother-in-lawâŚâ Wu Yunsheng quickly reached out and said.
âPak!â Yang Xin slapped away Wu Yunshengâs hand. âWho is your little brother-in-law? Yang Ming, you donât have to bother with him. Letâs talk about our stuffâŚâ
âUgh⌠heheâŚâ Wu Yunsheng wasnât angry, just a little embarra.s.sed.
Yang Ming also noticed that this Wu Yunsheng was an honest man. In this age, such an honest man was rare. Especially looking at Wu Yunshengâs outfit, he should be from a well-off family, too.
âh.e.l.lo, brother-in-law.â Yang Ming smiled and grabbed Wu Yunshengâs hand and shook hands.
âOkay, good!â Wu Yunsheng had delightfulness painted all over his face at that moment. It seemed that Yang Mingâs address of âbrother-in-lawâ made him very happy.
âFine, Yunsheng. It will be your treat today. You canât just ask my brother to pay the bill, right?â Yang Xin said.
âOf course! Of course!â Wu Yunsheng said happily like a good and honest man.
With the addition of Yang Ming and Sun Jie, Wu Yunsheng naturally added a few more dishes, and then said to Yang Ming, âWhat do you want to eat? You donât need to be polite with your brother-in-law!â
âI havenât been here before. This is my first time here. You should order as you see fit!â said Yang Ming.
âXiao Jie, I have ordered what we liked to eat back in high school. What else do you want?â asked Yang Xin.
âWeâve ordered seven dishes for four people. Itâs enough. If it is too much, we wonât be able to finish it as well.â Sun Jie said, âThese are enough.â
âThat works, too. We can order again if it is not enough.â Wu Yunsheng said.
Four people sat in their seats and waited for the waiter to serve.
âThis store seems to be more popular than before!â Sun Jie sighed as she noticed the store was filled with customers.
âIndeed, I drop by here sometimes, unlike you who arenât in Donghai. I have witnessed the brilliant growth of this store!â Yang Xin nodded. âThere are no seats now. If you want to eat, you have to reserve with a phone number and head outside to wait. When someone leaves the table, the waiter would call the waiting guests in order!â
Yang Ming looked at the scene here and secretly snarled. Itâs still lunch. If it was dinner, the queue will be hard to imagine!
However, there were a lot of people here and yet the serving speed wasnât slow. Perhaps this was the reason why this place could last so long! They hadnât sat down for ten minutes before three dishes were served.
âCome on, my little brother. Try this fried bamboo shoot tip. It was my favorite when Xiao Jie and I went to school!â Yang Xin began to fulfill her sisterâs responsibility.
âOkayâŚâ Yang Ming quickly took a bite. The taste was really good, crisp and refres.h.i.+ng. He couldnât help but praise, âItâs fantastic!â
Wu Yunsheng was just sitting there and smiled directly, but his gaze didnât leave Yang Xin for a moment. On the other hand, Sun Jie and Yang Xin chatted excitedly. The two people hadnât seen each other for a long time. They had many words to say.
