“I’ll remember it. You promised me!” Jing Xiaolu nodded after listening.
“What did I promise you?” Yang Ming asked.
“You promised me. If I find out that there is no romantic foundation from one of your girlfriends, but the feelings were built later on, then I will be your mistress,” said Jing Xiaolu.
“Talk to me again after you managed to investigate it.” Yang Ming said perfunctorily, “Right, you haven’t said yet. What is the important thing you haven’t told me yet?”
“This.” Jing Xiaolu smiled after listening. “The important thing is that the memory tree is for your favorite girl. Then, if she is interested in you, she will return it to you. All of this is according to my a.s.sumptions.
“I’m just thinking about it as a girl who likes you. If it were me, I would definitely do it, but no one can predict if the girl you like is the same as me or not.”
“What do you mean? You mean she doesn’t like me?” Yang Ming asked in surprise.
“No.” Jing Xiaolu said, “You also know that different people have different ideas. I can only simulate this scene, but it is impossible to guess the mind of others very accurately. Hence, everything will have an accident. Your girl may also like you deep down in her heart after receiving this memory tree, but I don’t think she will give it back after completing it. If she decides to put it into her collection, aren’t your efforts in vain?”
Yang Ming thought that Jing Xiaolu was casually talking about it. When Yang Ming asked her to cooperate with him, she just wanted to blackmail him. On the other hand, Yang Ming held the att.i.tude of better be safe than sorry, but he did not hold much hope.
He did not expect that Jing Xiaolu’s a.n.a.lysis really made sense with some truth in it. Yang Ming thought deeply. “You are right. What should I do?”
” Hehe , so I just said it. There is still an important point which I haven’t said before.” Jing Xiaolu said with a smile, “Do you want to hear it?”
“If you want to say it, just say it. Why is there so much nonsense?” Yang Ming looked at Jing Xiaolu with irritation. He really didn’t know what to say.
“Then, you kiss me.” Jing Xiaolu said as she pushed her little face forward, raised it slightly and closed her eyes.
The long eyelashes that no one knew if they were genuine or not, coupled with the blush on her cheek, made her very attractive.
Yang Ming couldn’t help but laugh and push Jing Xiaolu. “Don’t stir up any trouble! Are you going to say it or not?”
“Why are you so terrible!?” Jing Xiaolu opened her eyes and pouted her lips with dissatisfaction. “You only know how to bully me. Why don’t I see you bullying others? I chase you, yet you don’t want me. You’d rather waste all the effort to send a gift for a confession. Did your brain go haywire!?”
Yang Ming looked at Jing Xiaolu’s wronged expression. He really didn’t know what to say. He sighed and said, “Xiaolu, sorry. Something like love can’t be forced. Probably one day, there may be a spark between us, but definitely not now…”
Yang Ming merely comforted, but Jing Xiaolu’s gaze seemed to be excited. She stared with her eyes wide, and a bright smile appeared on her face. “Really?”
“I just made a hypothesis,” said Yang Ming.
” Hehe , you are still kind!” Jing Xiaolu pursed her lips and said, “Although I know that eighty percent of the words are invalid and are a means to brush me off, I’m still very happy. I will be very happy for this whole month.”
Yang Ming sighed slightly. He didn’t understand why Jing Xiaolu suddenly had feelings for him. He also couldn’t understand Jing Xiaolu’s thoughts.
“Well, can you tell me now?” Yang Ming couldn’t bear to deliver another psychological blow to Jing Xiaolu any more. His tone eased a lot.
” En En .” Jing Xiaolu nodded. “Let me tell you. When you write the content of this memory tree, you can, in fact, intentionally leave a trap.”
“A trap?” Yang Ming nodded and listened with attention.
” En , a trap it is.” Jing Xiaolu said, “Actually, this problem is easy to solve. Rather than saying it is a trap, it can be considered as a hint. The thing you wrote is the storyline of you two getting acquainted. You can deliberately write that you sent this memory tree as a gift in the end. Then, you leave some blanks for her to add. Of course, you can hint at her, saying that she could add to this memory tree and then return it. Then, you two can live happily ever after…”
“Yes!” Yang Ming was very excited after listening to Jing Xiaolu’s words. What Jing Xiaolu said is right. I can hint to Zhao Ying a little. Zhao Ying should understand what I mean and follow the words on the memory tree. In that case, she will give the memory tree back to me after she finished adding to it.
“Well, I have finished saying what I need to say.” Jing Xiaolu sighed and said faintly, “I wanted you to spend more time with me and tell you in the end. However, I still can’t help but say it first. You can leave in a while. I am going shopping by myself…”
If Jing Xiaolu pestered Yang Ming endlessly to accompany her, Yang Ming would definitely disagree. However, because Jing Xiaolu said this pitifully, Yang Ming really struggled to reject her.
According to Jing Xiaolu, when I get what I want to know, then I will turn around and leave. Am I an ingrate that forgets a favor? Although I’m thick-skinned, I’m not an ingrate. He hesitated and said, “I have already said it. I will accompany you to go shopping. If you had not finished shopping yet, how can I leave?”
The reason why Yang Ming was not in a hurry was that Zhao Ying would be taking lectures during the day. She would probably only have time after four o’clock in the afternoon after her lectures ended. Yang Ming would be able to ask her out again. At this moment, he really had nothing to do.
“I knew you were not that kind of person!” Jing Xiaolu secretly squeezed her fist, and took another step in rejoice! She said to Yang Ming, “Well, I go to work all day long. I had not enjoyed such leisure for a long time!”
Since Luan Xiaoru didn’t want to eat, Yang Ming just continued to eat without bothering much. He just wanted to fill his stomach, while Jing Xiaolu was also the same. As they finished negotiating their conditions, they started to finish up the food on the table.
The dishes at Tavern Heaven on Earth were delicious. All the dishes in Yang Ming’s private dining room were personally emphasized by the lobby manager. The chefs in the kitchen had personally cooked them, making them rather delicious.
“Yang Ming, the food here is delicious, much better than the cafeteria in the school.” Jing Xiaolu exclaimed. She was born in poverty and had never been to such a high-end restaurant. Although she had recently taken a white-collar job and got some bonuses, she needed it to buy medicine for her grandmother. Jing Xiaolu didn’t have much money left. She still wanted to buy some beautiful clothes. She was still a girl, so naturally, she wanted to be pretty.
Yang Ming smiled after listening. “You didn’t look at the price. Can it be the same?”
“Then, you take me here a few more times in the future and improve my diet. I am in p.u.b.erty now. If my chest is poorly developed, it will be bad.” Jing Xiaolu said with a smile.
Yang Ming glanced at Jing Xiaolu’s chest, which was quite normal. Although it wasn’t big, it couldn’t be said to be malnourished. However, Yang Ming still continued, “Fine. I will talk to the lobby manager in a while. You can come here alone. During that time, the bill is on me.”
Jing Xiaolu wasn’t really a gluttonous cat. The reason why she said this was that she wanted to have more opportunities to get in contact with Yang Ming. What is the meaning of coming here alone? She would feel shy. A girl comes here to have a grand meal.
“I’m saying you can ask me about the romantic problems on the way. I’m an expert!” said Jing Xiaolu.
You? Yang Ming smiled secretly in his heart. You can’t resolve your own romantic problems, yet you claim to be an expert? However, it is better for her not to resolve her own romantic problem. If she resolves it, won’t I…
“When I have trouble again, I will ask you out to eat again, okay?” Yang Ming did not dare to say it too firmly. After all, the idea that Jing Xiaolu had just given was good. It wasn’t that if she couldn’t solve her own romantic problem, she couldn’t help others to a.n.a.lyze theirs. It was often that the onlooker sees more of the game. This was the same reason that had never changed since the past.
“You are really boring.” Jing Xiaolu rolled her eyes at Yang Ming. “When you need me, you will treat me to a meal, doing things at the last minute. I have never seen such a hypocritical person.”
“I…” Yang Ming was at a loss for words all of a sudden, but what Jing Xiaolu said was correct. Could it be that this chick is my natural opponent? My gift of the gab actually suffered repeatedly.
“I? You gotta eat faster!” Jing Xiaolu took the bird’s nest soup 1 from the seat of Luan Xiaoru and drank it with relish. This bird’s nest soup came up after Xiao Xiaoru left, so Jing Xiaolu dominated two portions. “Bird’s nest can improve my beauty. Do you think that my skin is better after I finished drinking it?”
“As long as you don’t have ridiculous makeup, it is already great,” said Yang Ming.
“Didn’t I change already!?” Jing Xiaolu said indifferently, “I know you like the pure type.”
“…” Yang Ming pretended not to hear and took a sip of tea.
“Hey, Yang Ming, I want to ask you a question.” Jing Xiaolu rolled her eyes and looked at Yang Ming with a smile.
“What’s the question?” Yang Ming looked at Jing Xiaolu’s sly look like a little fox. It didn’t seem like something good.
“Can you play crazily with your girlfriend?” asked Jing Xiaolu.
“What girlfriend? What play crazily?” Yang Ming was puzzled.
“I mean Lin Zhiyun.” Jing Xiaolu asked like a curious baby. “When she did that with you, is it crazy enough…?”
Yang Ming suddenly broke into a sweat. What kind of question is this? He glared at Jing Xiaolu. “What does it have to do with you?”
“Nothing. I just want to know what type you like…” Jing Xiaolu smiled and said indifferently.
Yang Ming was already accustomed to Jing Xiaolu being playful. He had to pretend that he hadn’t heard it. Jing Xiaolu wanted to say something, but a knocking sound came from outside the room.
