You"re Beautiful When You Smile
Chapter 74 Part 1
Though the team manager believed that Tong Yao and Lu Sicheng were going to the market and tying the knot at the same time, in reality the conversation in the car went as follows-- --
Tong Yao: “Cheng Ge, I heard that you were searching for piranha fry online after I"d gone to bed……”
Lu Sicheng: “That"s right.”
Tong Yao asked after a moment of silence: “Did you find any?”
“Somehow the search ended up at Venus Flytraps.” Lu Sicheng answered: “Since it"d have the same effect in the fishbowl, I just bought that.”
Tong Yao searched for Venus Flytrap on her cell phone and became silent after seeing the images of the vicious look of the plant: “What effect are you talking about?”
“Whoever puts their hand inside the fishbowl gets bitten.”
“......”
Tong Yao looked out the windshield without expression on her face. It was silent inside the car for the rest of the way. Lu Sicheng was concentrating on driving while Tong Yao dwelled on the question: “does he intend for it to bite me or the cat?”......When they arrived at the market, Tong Yao opened the door and saw a crowded market. This market specialized in selling flowers and all sorts of pets. A Labrador with a sign hanging from its neck saying “Looking for a mate, I have money,” walked pa.s.s Tong Yao. Tong Yao couldn"t move her eyes off the dog.
Tong Yao: “......”
Amazing, even a dog knew to come to this market to look for a mate.
Lu Sicheng parked the car and walked over. He took a glance at the huge crowd at front and another glance at the person next to him who was still too short while wearing platform shoes and would be buried amidst the crowd. He paused a moment then flatly said: “I"m thinking of putting an auto alarm system on you. With one push of the b.u.t.ton, an alarm will go off and I won"t be afraid of losing you in a crowd.”
“........................” Tong Yao was a bit uneasy: “I have a cell phone. Who needs an alarm? If we get separated, please call me on my cell phone.”
“I won"t.” Lu Sicheng took a glance at her: “Just follow closely.”
With his height and conspicuous clothes, Lu Sicheng not only stood out in the crowd, he also parted the crowd like Moses. By following right behind him, Tong Yao found it easier to move through the crowd……
Tong Yao stayed behind Lu Sicheng. The man was like a hill in front of her, blocking her view in front. All she could see when she raised her head were his broad back and the earrings on his ears…...The silver earrings looked quite nice on him. Tong Yao didn"t remember seeing him wear them before. She fixed her eyes on them-- --
“Cheng Ge.”
“What?”
“I didn"t even know that you have pierced ears. You look good wearing earrings. Why don"t you wear them at base?”
“For whom would I wear them for at base?”
“.......Then whom are you wearing them for now?” Tong Yao couldn"t get it: “The fish?”
“Aren"t you wearing a skirt? For whom are you wearing it for? The cat?”
“You even wore new shoes.”
“Are your shoes old?”
“......”
“......”
It was a moment of sweet embarra.s.sment.
