Tan Polang did not tell Zuo Xiaolan that Yi Qingchen was actually Fleeting Time, partly because of Ye Ci's pressure. That was why Zuo Xiaolan and Ye Nantian would talk about the young man whenever they were free during Chinese New Year.
Zuo Xiaolan said, "Lil 'Yi is a hardworking and reliable kid. He's a good guy."
Ye Nan-Tian said, "Hmm. That's right. He is a good man."
Zuo Xiaolan was confused by Ye Nantian's words, "You've only met him for a short while. How do you know that he's a good person?"
Ye Nantian was watching a singing and dancing show on the television as he chewed on a chicken claw, "Because he's a good gambler."
Ye Ci rolled her eyes as she listened to their conversation. She stood up, put on her jacket, and walked out of the door, "How do you know that he's a good gambler? You've won a lot, and he's lost a lot. Don't you know that he's letting you win on purpose? You're saying that he's a good gambler … "She mumbled to herself before heading to the train station to pick up Bai Mo.
Ye Nantian's lips curled into a smile as he watched Ye Ci leave the room. Zuo Xiaolan only asked Ye Ci what happened after Ye Nantian left the room. Ye Nan-Tian didn't hide anything from Zuo Xiaolan. He told her everything that happened that day. Zuo Xiaolan agreed with Ye Ci, "I think Little Ci is right. If he's losing to you on purpose, how can you say that he's a good gambler? Is it just because he's letting you win a lot of money? "
Ye Nantian shook his head and chuckled, "You women always look at things from the surface. Of course, he let me win on purpose, so he naturally wouldn't care about the amount of money. However, everyone has a habit of not liking to lose. Even if he did it on purpose, he would still subconsciously feel unhappy. Even if he pretended everything well, there would still be some unwillingness in his eyes. However, he didn't. Even though he kept losing, he wasn't arrogant or rash. It could be seen that this person was usually an extremely steady person. He was also very mature. Other things couldn't be said. A person with a good sense of propriety would naturally have a good character. "
Zuo Xiaolan shrugged and did not comment on Ye Nantian's statement. She held a bunch of grapes and slowly stuffed them into her mouth as she watched TV. It seemed like she had no intention of continuing the topic. It wasn't until Ye Nantian thought she didn't care about the topic that she slowly said, "What do you mean by praising him like that?"
Ye Nantian raised his eyebrows and glanced at Zuo Xiaolan. He smiled and said, "Didn't you already know?"
"I can't read your mind." Zuo Xiaolan rolled her eyes. "How would I know if I'm right if you don't tell me?"
"I just think that he's a good kid. If he can get along well with Ye Ci, it'll be a good choice." Ye Nantian creased his eyebrows and sighed, "Although I don't want Ye Ci to get married too early, she's already 21 years old."
"Didn't you say that 21 years old is very young? What's the rush?" Zuo Xiaolan gave Ye Nantian a strange look. Usually, Ye Nantian would use Ye Ci's young age as an excuse to reject the topic. Why did he change his mind today?
"Twenty-one years old is very young, but many good men are kept in captivity at this age. Falling in love is a lesson that girls must learn when they are young." Ye Nan-Tian said to Zuo Xiaolan with a serious smile.
Zuo Xiaolan found it funny that Ye Nantian was so serious about Ye Ci's problems, "Why do you think so?"
"Love is a very important lesson in a person's life. It's a lesson that we can't teach her. She has to learn it herself. Perhaps, she'll not only receive sweetness from this lesson, but also pain and scars. All we need to do is to encourage and comfort her. Only by establishing the right concept of love at the right time could one face one's own concept of marriage. It was impossible for the child to spend the rest of her life with us. She would become someone else's wife one day, someone else's mother. She had to learn to face life with strangers with the right attitude. I'm not in a hurry to marry her off. I just think that it's time for her to grow up. " Ye Nantian narrowed his eyes as he recalled the time when he met Zuo Xiaolan when he was young. He always felt that he was lucky to have found a reliable woman in his first love. If he had met someone unreliable, his concept of marriage would have been bleak.
"Since we can't teach her this lesson, why are you still targeting Zhu Yi?" Zuo Xiaolan could understand what her husband meant, but she was still a little unforgiving, "Aren't you contradicting yourself?"
Ye Nantian laughed out loud. He reached out his hand and patted Zuo Xiaolan's forehead gently, "That's true, but she's still my child. Although I know it's not good to interfere, I don't want her to choose an unreliable man. Wouldn't it be good if she could choose a reliable man?" He smiled as he said, "After all, not every woman is lucky enough to meet someone she can entrust her life to on her first love."
"You're being too extreme. Are there a lot of scumbags in this world?" Although Zuo Xiaolan knew Ye Nantian was right, she still refuted him rationally.
"I'm not saying that there are a lot of scumbags. It's just that there's a problem with the timing of their meeting. It's the time when the girl is in full bloom, but the boy is not mature yet. The result of their meeting is definitely not a good ending." Ye Nantian shook his head and continued to watch the television with a smile, "Ye Ci is at the prime of her life when she's 21 years old. She's at the prime of her life. She's brave, persistent, stubborn, and passionate. These are the most important emotions in a relationship. So, she should be in love. Yi Qingchen is 26 years old, which is also an excellent age for a man. Although the average man hasn't started his career at this age, he has the most beautiful, passionate, and serious characteristics. It's a blessing for a woman to be able to spend this period of time with a man because he'll have to work hard on his career in the future. Love won't be the most important thing in his life. So, isn't it good to let them date during this period of time? No matter what the ending is, the process will be beautiful. Isn't that great? "
"You're not a man at all." Zuo Xiaolan listened attentively. She had never seen Ye Nantian having such thoughts.
"But these are just my thoughts. Whatever happens in the future will be up to Ye Ci to decide. Let's not interfere." Ye Nantian paused for a moment, and frowned at Zuo Xiaolan, "Let's talk about that Fleeting Time. I don't think he's as reliable as Yi Qingchen. How did you fall in love with a player in a game?"
Zuo Xiaolan scratched her head, "I can't explain it. I just feel that he's suitable. But Yi Qingchen isn't bad either. My eyes are playing tricks on me." She then leaned towards Ye Nantian, "Hubby, do you think that our daughter has been ignored for too long? Is God giving her two good choices to make up for it?"
Ye Nantian laughed and wrapped his arms around Zuo Xiaolan's shoulders, "Honey, you're thinking too much. That's something that Ye Ci needs to think about, not you."
Ye Ci was wearing a pair of tight-fitting boots and a small windbreaker. She walked down the stairs in her 8cm stilettos, and tossed her car keys into the air. She then walked up to her car, opened the door, and inserted the key into the keyhole. Just as she was about to start the engine, she saw Tan Polang running towards her from afar. She raised an eyebrow, "Weren't you going out to hang out with your friends? What are you doing here? "
"His parents took him away to pay a New Year's visit. That's why I came back." Tan Polang held a yellow paper bag in his arms. There were a few roujiamos in it. He took one out and handed it to Ye Ci, "I went to Old Huang's to buy it. It's just out of the pot, so it's still hot."
"I'll drive." Ye Ci wanted to take it, but she refused.
"I'll feed you." Tan Polang put the roujiamo in front of Ye Ci's mouth as he spoke. Because of Yi Qingchen's incident, Tan Polang had been sucking up to Ye Ci. Ye Ci wasn't angry anymore. Since someone was trying to please her, she accepted it graciously.
She opened her mouth and took a big bite. She started the engine, backed out of the garage, and drove out of the neighborhood.
Bai Mo was outside the bus station. There were bags of various sizes at his feet. He was sitting on a large suitcase. If he wasn't dressed so handsomely, he would have looked like a refugee. Ye Ci stopped the car in front of Bai Mo. She got out of the car and leaned on the roof. She smiled at Bai Mo, "Hey, hey, hey. Where did this refugee come from?"
Bai Mo grinned when he saw Ye Ci. He pretended to be a beggar and said, "Miss, I haven't eaten in days. Give me something to eat."
"I'm not running a charity. You can have it if you want. No, you have to tell me what you can do." Ye Ci pursed her lips. Tan Polang, who was sitting in the car, also laughed.
"I know how to work. I have plenty of strength." Bai Mo pretended to be pitiful.
Ye Ci raised her eyebrows, "Carry your things into the car. I'll introduce you to a good job."
Bai Mo hurriedly stood up and carried his things into the car. Seeing that he was about to finish moving his things, an old man in his sixties or seventies pulled Bai Mo and said, "Young man, this is your first time out. You don't look like you've traveled far. Let me tell you, you can't go with her!" As he spoke, he looked at Ye Ci vigilantly and whispered, "Look at that girl. She's so seductive. She definitely won't introduce you to a job. Maybe she'll take you to a pyramid scheme! Or, or maybe she'll cut your kidney! You can't get in the car … "
The old man's words stunned Bai Mo. He couldn't help but laugh. He patted the old man's hand and whispered, "Grandpa, I know. I'm a plainclothes officer. I'm here to destroy this criminal gang."
"Oh …" Hearing this, the old man looked at Ye Ci again and patted Bai Mo's hand, "Young man, be careful."
Bai Mo nodded and said goodbye to the old man. When he got in the car, Ye Ci asked, "What did the old man whisper to you?"
Bai Mo told Ye Ci and Tan Polang about their conversation with a smile. They laughed so hard that they were convulsing and cursing Bai Mo for being so mean.
As soon as the car drove out of the station, Tan Polang received a call from one of his classmates, asking him to go out and play. He had no choice but to give the roujiamo to Bai Mo and get out of the car to take the bus to find his classmates. After saying goodbye to Tan Polang, Bai Mo sat in the front passenger seat. He took out a roujiamo and stuffed it into his mouth. "I'm starving. The food in the car is so bad. I have no appetite at all."
Ye Ci glanced at Bai Mo as she drove and asked with a smile, "How was the blind date?"
Bai Mo's face immediately darkened. He took another big bite of the roujiamo and sighed. "What's wrong with women nowadays? If the introducer explained my family's situation, she would smile like a flower and be as gentle as water, saying that she had taken a fancy to me. If the person who introduced me didn't tell them about my family background, they would raise their heads high and tell me directly that I can't get married if my monthly income is less than 50,000 yuan. Damn it, I haven't graduated yet, but my monthly income is 50,000 yuan. Why doesn't she rob me? "
Ye Ci laughed. "It seems that your blind date didn't go well."
"I was just fulfilling my mother's task."
"Aunt and uncle are in such a hurry to get you married?"
"It's not that they're in a hurry, it's their friends who are in a hurry. They said they wanted to introduce me to someone when they saw me. They couldn't help but ask me to go back and help them. Who knows? They're such snobbish people who only care about money. All the people who introduced me to them described them as flowers. "
"How many blind dates did you have?" Ye Ci heard Bai Mo's tone. It was not comforting at all. Instead, it was adding insult to injury. "Cousin, there are fewer women than men these days. Don't set your sights too high. You might end up with nothing."
Bai Mo sneered. "I'd rather find a man than settle for a woman like her."
Ye Ci laughed. She continued to tease him. "I'm looking forward to seeing your other half. Actually, I think Purity Essence is pretty good. Aren't you guys close? How about Timely Rain? He's pretty good too. Oh right, Four Seas is pretty good too. He's so handsome … "
Before Ye Ci could finish her sentence, Bai Mo stuffed a roujiamo into her mouth. "You really want me to be gay, don't you?"
Ye Ci laughed.
Bai Mo suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked at Ye Ci. "Someone came to visit us during Chinese New Year?"
Ye Ci glanced at Bai Mo. "Did you plant a bug in our house? How did you know? "
"Polang told me."
"Oh." Ye Ci nodded. She finally understood, "Someone did visit us."
"Fleeting Time?"
"Yup."
