Mi Xaing 'er's evaluation of Yun Laohu was … a "living donkey"!
Actually, this was not a lie at all.
She went to Wu Zhifei's house in the middle of the night, raised three conditions, and left without waiting for his response.
He did not go to Tong Che's house to pick up his second sister. He thought … if he did not pick her up and asked Tong Che to send her, they might just be together tonight.
He might as well go home and sleep.
This matter …
He was probably the only one who could do this.
Yun Jingqi did not know what he was thinking. She was still foolishly waiting at Tong Che's house.
She waited left and right but did not see her younger brother.
He looked at the Tian Xiner again. She was getting ready to sleep. She came and went, washing her face and combing her hair. Tong Che did not find it rude. Although she was sitting opposite him, he occasionally glanced at the Tian Xiner from the corner of his eyes. Although they did not speak, they were like a married couple who had been married for many years. They were also like the most intimate family. They had a tacit understanding and were harmonious.
Yun Jingqi felt terrible. She drank one glass after another and really drank too much. At first, she giggled foolishly but could not control herself. Later, she felt dizzy and her hands went limp. "Thud?" She fell asleep on the table.
Tong Che sighed. He was also a smart person. When he saw the clock on the wall, it was already 10: 30 pm. Yun Laohu did not come to pick up his sister, which meant that she did not plan to come.
He simply stood up and said, "Xin 'er, help me take her to the house to sleep!"
The Tian Xiner's jet-black hair fell to her waist. She was wearing a Miao Chinese gown that revealed her beautiful snow-white neck. Half of her slender and smooth calves were visible under her trousers … Under the soft light, she was as beautiful as an otherworldly fairy.
She blinked her big black eyes and said, "Brother! Isn't Brother Yun here to pick up Second Sister? Can't you wait a little longer? Why do you let her sleep in our house? "
Tong Che looked at her helplessly and said, "Look at the time. Yun Jingting won't come. Besides, Xiaoqi is so drunk now. Even if the tiger comes … I'm afraid he won't be able to leave! "
The Tian Xiner pouted and muttered softly, "Tsk! How could a girl stay overnight after getting drunk in someone else's house? If I wanted to do that, my mother would break my hamstring so that I would never be able to leave the house! "
"Don't talk nonsense!"
"Hmph!" The Tian Xiner stiffened his neck. "If you don't want to say it, then don't say it! How am I supposed to sleep then? "
Tong Che's voice was as deep as water. "Help me to my room. I'll sleep on the sofa in the living room!"
He was an extremely gentlemanly person … and he took good care of the girl. "Yes, do you have clean sheets? Give it to me! I'll go change! "
The Tian Xiner was a straightforward person. "Why would I sleep on the sofa? How uncomfortable! You can sleep in my room … When we were in the Miao Village and when we first entered the city, didn't we always stay in the same room with a curtain in the middle? "
Tong Che quickly waved his hand. "No! The past is the past, and the present is the present! "
The Tian Xiner pondered for a moment. "What's the difference?"
Huh?
Difference?
This question stumped Tong Che. He paused for a moment and could only answer perfunctorily. "You were still young then, but you're already 20 years old now!"
20 years old?
At the mention of this question …
He walked in front of the Tian Xiner, clenched his hands into fists, and stuffed them into his trouser pockets. "Xin Er, I want to talk to you!"
He bent slightly toward her, raised his thick eyebrows slightly, and looked at her with a deep gaze. His voice became even deeper. "Yes, it's like this! You're all grown up now, and you're no longer a little girl. Have you ever thought about … Have you ever thought about getting married? "
"Huh?" The Tian Xiner was a little stunned. She stared intently at Tong Che's face. "What do you mean by that?"
She was a simple person, but she wasn't stupid. "You … Are you trying to push me away and push me to someone else? Or do you want to get married and think that I'm a hindrance in this house? "
She gritted her teeth. "If that's really the case, then just say it. I won't get in your way! I'll go back to the Hmong village! "
Tong Che was a little anxious. His voice rose by half an octave, and he spoke faster … He didn't have his usual calmness. "Xin Er, you've misunderstood me! Your parents entrusted you to me, so of course, they want you to have a happy life! I think that you should experience different things and different people, and slowly learn to grow up. You should know what you want and try your best to fight for it. Only then will you have true happiness! "
"…"
"Because of this, no matter what you did, what friends you made, or what clothes you wore, I didn't say a word. I even gave you the space to try new things! I just want you to be happy, and I want you to live freely according to your own wishes! I don't want to lock you in my circle and protect you under my wings forever. I don't want you to be an inexperienced chick who hasn't seen the real sky and can't fly on your own … That's not fair to you! "
"…"
He showed his strength and decisiveness. "Anyway, I won't say anything more. Everything I do … is for your own good. I have a clear conscience! I'm older than you and have more experience than you, so I should make decisions for you! Tomorrow, I'll introduce you to a boyfriend. You can go and meet him. I'm not forcing you to get married, I just want you to broaden your horizons and know what kind of man you should be looking for! "
Although Tong Che was an amiable person, he was stubborn and arrogant. When he lost his temper, he naturally showed the kind of authority that had been on top of others for a long time, making it difficult for others to refute him.
Tian Xiner couldn't win an argument against Tong Che. Seeing his resolute attitude, it seemed that there was no room for negotiation …
He moved his lips twice. "I … I …"
"Stop talking, go to sleep!"
Tian Xiner said "I" for a long time, but was stopped by Tong Che's one sentence. He was so angry that he shook his head. "I understand! Was this idea given to you by Second Sister Yun? You're marrying me off … because of her? "
She looked around with her two tender and white hands, then picked up the wine glass on the table and raised it high up in the air.
Tong Che didn't say anything. He stared at her with a sullen face. It was the kind of calm and violent kind … She didn't know why he was so angry.
Tian Xiner had lived with him for so many years, so of course, he understood his temper. He hesitated for a moment, but he didn't dare to smash the glass. He simply turned around, unscrewed the unfinished wine bottle, and "blew" into it twice.
Tong Che's expression was very bad. He rushed over to snatch the wine bottle, but Tian Xiner dodged and he missed. When he looked up again, she had already returned to her room. With a bang, she slammed the bedroom door shut.
Yun Jingqi seemed to have been awakened by the sound. She looked up and looked around blankly. "I … I fell asleep?"
Tong Che turned around and forced a smile at her. "Xiaoqi, you probably drank too much! Come, I'll take you back to your room to sleep! "
He glanced at her from the corner of his eye. "Are you still sober? Can you understand what I'm saying? "
Second Sister Yun was stubborn. "I'm not drunk! Of course I can understand what you're saying! "
"Okay then! Arrange for Tian Xiner to go on a blind date tomorrow! It's settled! "
"…"
Yun Jingqi looked up and sized him up … She pursed her lips tightly. Her face was slightly pale, and her bright eyes were filled with complicated emotions. There was anger, agitation, helplessness, and reluctance.
She hesitated for a moment. "You've decided? Then what about Tian Xiner? What does she think? Will she go on the blind date? "
Tong Che nodded vigorously. "I'll go! She has to go! What if she doesn't go? I'll take her with me! "
**
The next morning …
Yun Jingqi woke up before the sun rose. When she went to the living room, she saw Tong Che curled up on the sofa asleep. His brows were tightly knitted as if something was bothering him.
She didn't dare to make a sound. She tiptoed into the kitchen, cooked half a pot of porridge, mixed two side dishes, and placed them on the table in the living room. Then, she went home.
She remembered that Tong Che said he wanted to go on a blind date, so she quickly contacted the boy who had just been assigned to her … Fortunately, he lived in a dormitory and didn't have much to do during the holidays, so he agreed readily. They set the date at the newly opened Binhu Hotel in the city at 12 noon.
She passed the news to Tong Che, and Tong Che agreed.
Noon …
Tian Xiner really arrived at the hotel … She attracted everyone's attention as soon as she entered the hotel and stood at the entrance.
She had specially dressed up today and didn't wear Miao clothing. Instead, she wore a light yellow coat. In that era where "black and gray" dominated, this kind of delicate and beautiful color was already eye-catching. Coupled with her snow-white skin and slim figure, she didn't even need to look at her appearance to be able to catch people's attention.
What if they looked at her appearance?
Then they wouldn't be able to take their eyes off her!
Tian Xiner already had a lively appearance. She had a pair of big clear eyes, delicate facial features, and thick, long hair that was as black as ink. It fell smoothly on her shoulders, adding to her feminine charm.
Her beautiful eyes looked around the hall. Immediately, a young man stood up from a seat near the window … and waved at her in amazement.
Tian Xiner didn't hesitate and quickly walked over. "You're Wang Haobo? Wang Haobo?"
"Yes? You're Comrade Xiao Tian, right? Sit! Please sit! "Wang Haobo tried to make conversation." You're quite punctual! "
"Yes! I have to be punctual! "
"Ah?"
"To tell you the truth, my brother forced me to come here!"
Wang Haobo smiled. He liked her straightforward personality … He sat opposite Tian Xiner and looked at her carefully. He really felt that this girl was quite cute. "What do you want to eat?"
"Anything is fine. I'm not picky. You decide!"
Tian Xiner's eyes seemed to intentionally or unintentionally glance through the window at the small shop across the street. Then, she withdrew her gaze and looked at Wang Haobo …
She saw that he was about 25 or 26 years old. He looked clean and wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses. He was above average. "Let me introduce my qualifications to you. I don't have a job. I'm from the Miao Tribe …"
"Ah! I've already heard about it from Sister Yun! I'm a student of Nanjing University. I just graduated this year and was assigned to the accounting department of the provincial bureau. My family is in Nanjing … "
Wang Haobo was quite enthusiastic, so he started to talk about it.
While the two of them were chatting …
Coincidentally, two people came downstairs from the second floor of the hotel. When they saw the Tian Xiner, they both stopped in their tracks.
Ni Dahai was wearing a leather jacket and black trousers. He looked as handsome as ever … He turned his head and looked at Sun Wuwei, who was next to him. "Hey, Old Sun, pinch me! Am I seeing things? "
Sun Wuwei was puzzled. "Huh? What's wrong? "
He looked up at the window and rubbed his eyes in disbelief. "Oh my God, is that the Little Poison Girl? I haven't seen her for a few days, and she's become so beautiful? "
Ni Dahai curled his lips. He originally wanted to refute Sun Wuwei, but when he saw the Tian Xiner … Not only was she good-looking, but she was also well-dressed. Even with his extremely picky eyes, he couldn't find any "shortcomings" in her.
However, Ni Dahai had always been sharp-tongued. "Old Sun, I have to criticize you. You can't judge a person by their appearance! That girl looks … Ah, not bad! But, with her poison and spiciness … "
Sun Wuwei didn't wait for him to finish. He covered his mouth and laughed. "You've always been one to say one thing and mean another! I've realized that the more you scold someone, the more you look at them in a different light! When we were in the county, you always scolded the Mi Xaing 'er … You always said that a girl is too smart, and that it's no good! Later on, after she left, you would mention her every now and then. You look like you miss her! "
"Get out of here!"
Sun Wuwei ignored him and continued, "Later, you scolded the Tian Xiner, and what happened? If you have nothing to do, you still run to my house every two to three days, drive a lousy car, and show off by taking me for a ride … "
"I was just pitying her! She hasn't seen the world, and she's idle at home all day … "
"She's not idle? What does it have to do with you? I think you're the one who's idle! " Sun Wuwei glared at him disapprovingly. "Big Ni, we've known each other for so many years, and we know each other very well. You don't say what you think, so stop talking!"
Ni Dahai didn't continue the conversation. He carefully observed the scene in front of the window and snorted. "Old Sun, do you understand? That little poisonous girl is probably on a blind date now! "
"Maybe! That man isn't bad either. He looks refined and refined. One look and you can tell that he's cultured and educated. His family background must be quite good! "
Sun Wuwei looked at him from the corner of his eyes. "Hey, Big Ni, your tone … Why do you sound so cautious? You're not up to something again, are you? Let me tell you! You want to break up an affectionate couple? That's a sin! "
"Me? Do I need to break up an affectionate couple? "Ni Dahai snorted." Who do you think I am? I'm sharp and observant. With one look, I know that these two are definitely not going to be together! "
"Huh?"
"Isn't it obvious? Look at that little Tian Xiner's eyes. She's so anxious … She must be thinking of something bad. Just you wait, there'll be a good show in a while! "
Ni Dahai simply pulled Sun Wuwei to sit in a corner against the wall. "Don't worry! Let's watch the show! "
Sun Wuwei sat opposite him and was somewhat puzzled. "No, Big Ni, I don't understand what you're saying! With that Tian Xiner's qualities, she won't lose out if she marries that guy. Why is she still unwilling? "
Ni Dahai waved his hand casually. "What do you know? This girl is not an ordinary person! She can poison, she can make antidotes, and she can tell fortunes. Her skills are not for nothing. One day, they'll be useful! "
Sun Wuwei was still unwilling to give up. "Even so! I'll say something unpleasant. She's a penniless little girl from the mountains. She's simple and pure, but her background is not enough … It's not that I'm a feudal person, but from an ordinary person's point of view, finding a partner to marry depends on their family background! "
"Family background? What's wrong with family background? Her parents are also powerful people in their village … "Ni Dahai leaned forward and lowered his voice." Also, you know, she came with Tong Che! "
"I know! I've seen Tong Che before. He's handsome and quiet, but he's too scheming. I didn't dare to approach him. It's obvious that he's not on the same level as me! "
"Tsk! You dare to talk about levels with her? She's a child prodigy! She went to a university abroad at the age of 15 and came back to be a professor in her twenties. She's good at literature and history, excellent at science and engineering, and speaks seven or eight foreign languages fluently … "
Sun Wuwei interrupted him. "Stop speaking fluently! Get to the point! "
"According to my reliable insider information, this Tong Che will be promoted to a position that will shock you!"
"Ah?" Sun Wuwei's interest was piqued by his tone. "Don't keep me guessing! What's the position? How high can it be? "
"Hmph! The document hasn't been approved yet, so it's not convenient for me to reveal it. I can only tell you for now. Is the position of Provincial Bureau Cadre … high enough? Managing the economy … high enough? There are people at the top, and there's still room for promotion. You tell me … is it high enough? "
Sun Wuwei was speechless … He knew that Ni Dahai was never a person who spoke without thinking. He had a strong background, so whatever he said must be true. "Tsk, tsk, he's that good? I think that Tong Che is only in his thirties, right? He must have a promising future! He won't be promoted to the Ministry, right? "
"Who knows? As the old saying goes, it's better to bully an old man than a poor young man. Moreover, he's really capable! Wherever he goes … gold will shine! "
"…"
"So, if Tian Xiner follows him, she'll reach the sky in a single bound! With Tong Che's care for her … "
Before he could finish his sentence, he heard a loud "Oh!" from the window.
Ni Dahai immediately stopped talking and leaned back in his chair, trying to hold back his laughter. "See, what did I say? Here comes the fun!"
