The next day, noon.
After eating the lunch Qin Ze made, Wang Zijing left with her small bag. She was going out for a job interview. She had submitted her resume a few days ago and finally received a call from the company's HR department today.
Qin Ze had bought two movie tickets online early in the morning. While jogging, he pretended to be casual and said, "Staying at home all day is quite boring, Zijing-jie. How about we go see a movie? There's a movie out recently that's worth watching, How to Make Me Fall in Love With You. The online reviews are good."
He tried to keep his tone calm, so it wouldn't seem too deliberate.
I don't want to go on a date with you, I'm just too bored at home...
Wang Zijing laughed and said, "I can't, I submitted my resume the day before yesterday, and I have a job interview this afternoon."
Qin Ze's gentle smile instantly froze on his face.
Is this what they call plans not keeping up with changes?
Wang Zijing ran away from home and came to Hu City to rely on her bestie Qin Baobao, with room and board provided. But living expenses aren't just about food and accommodation. Doesn't buying cosmetics cost money? Doesn't buying clothes cost money? Doesn't buying shoes cost money? When you're craving a buffet, where does the money come from? When you want to eat chilled desserts in the hot summer, where does the money come from? She can't possibly let Qin Baobao pay for everything, right?
Moreover, these siblings are both poor ghosts...
Qin Ze casually said, "Then another day."
Silently feeling sorry for the movie tickets.
Okay, Qin Ze just wanted to go on a date with Wang Zijing. Wang Zijing is beautiful, has a good personality, and a great figure. Every man likes her. At this time, the importance of being close to the water is revealed. He can find ways to date Wang Zijing, watch movies, eat meals, and occasionally take a trip to nearby tourist attractions in the name of his sister.
He can increase her favorability anytime, anywhere.
In the living room, Qin Ze was very melancholy.
He doesn't actually like watching movies. In the past, Qin Baobao would drag him to watch them. His sister doesn't have a boyfriend either, and watching movies alone seems very lonely, so the single dog siblings would go to see a movie together on weekends.
Compared to a light and refreshing romance film like How to Make Me Fall in Love With You, he prefers to watch American 3D special effects films, such as the recently released King Kong Dog. But when inviting a girl to watch a movie, of course you can't watch King Kong Dog.
Now it's good, going to see a romance movie alone, just thinking about it is sad. But he can't bear to waste the fifty yuan movie ticket.
At this moment, ding.
Qin Ze was startled, thinking that a System mission had arrived. After a closer look, he realized it was a text message. His text message notification is also a "ding."
These days, besides advertisements, junk text messages, and consumption information text messages, few people send text messages.
He picked up his phone and saw: "Little darling, what are you doing?"
A text message sent by Zhang Ya, another of his sister's besties.
Qin Ze replied unhappily, "Doing unspeakable things, don't disturb me."
Zhang Ya: "Can I join?"
This woman doesn't miss any opportunity to tease Qin Ze.
"I'm already overwhelmed, decline to join."
"It's okay, I have eighteen kinds of martial arts, I guarantee to make your little brother vigorous and bring him back to life."
"Get lost, you're the one who's brought back to life."
Qin Ze's heart stirred, and he edited another text message: "Are you free this afternoon?"
"Yeah, my boyfriend's away on a business trip, and I'm feeling empty all over, where do you want to use me?"
"Stop messing around, I'm treating you to a movie, meet me at Nanjing Road Subway Station."
"Okay, okay, I know a nice hotel there."
Qin Ze picked up his phone and went out. His home wasn't too close to Nanjing Road, and it took half an hour by subway.
At the Nanjing Road Subway Station exit, he was on the phone while searching, and finally saw Zhang Ya at a milk tea shop.
She stood in her spot, waving wildly at the entrance, her smile as bright as a flower.
Today, Zhang Ya was wearing a petal-sleeved V-neck chiffon top, with a pair of hot pants. Both fashionable and fresh. A very beautiful woman, only slightly inferior to Qin Baobao.
Qin Ze sat down, beckoned a waiter, ordered a lemonade, and also ordered a cream dessert for Zhang Ya.
"Why are you in the mood to treat me to a movie today?" Zhang Ya took a sip of milk tea, squinted and smiled, with two shallow dimples on her face.
"I'm not treating you, someone stood me up, and I didn't want to waste the movie tickets, so you just happened to be in the way." Qin Ze told the truth.
"You're too blunt, can't you just coax people a little?" Zhang Ya puffed out her cheeks, acting coquettish.
"What am I coaxing you for? Go home and let your boyfriend coax you." Qin Ze laughed.
Qin Ze and Zhang Ya had a good relationship, not because of Qin Baobao. His sister's besties were several, but they all kept their distance from him, at most considering him a friend. But Zhang Ya was the one Qin Ze found most pleasing to the eye, and coincidentally, she also found Qin Ze pleasing to the eye, so their relationship progressed by leaps and bounds.
For a while, Qin Baobao thought her younger brother and her bestie were dating, which scared her so much that she rushed home to have a heart-to-heart talk with Qin Ze. At that time, Qin Ze hadn't gone to college yet, and his sister hadn't graduated either.
It was also that time that Qin Ze learned that Zhang Ya had a boyfriend, and he was the Fudan School Hunk, a prominent figure. According to his sister, Zhang Ya really liked her boyfriend, fighting her way out of a sea of flowers, and finally winning the School Hunk. His sister didn't want her younger brother to be someone else's third party, and sternly warned him.
From then on, Qin Ze silently extinguished the idea of hooking up with his sister's bestie.
Zhang Ya propped her cheek with her hand, staring at Qin Ze intently.
"What are you looking at?"
"Looking at the handsome young man." Zhang Ya chuckled and said, "Aze, I feel like you've become more handsome. Hmm, it's not a feeling, you really have become more handsome, tsk tsk."
Qin Ze then laughed, "Regret it now? Too late."
Earning him a roll of the eyes from the beauty.
"Ah, right, let me show you something." Zhang Ya took out her phone, opened the news, and handed it to him.
Qin Ze took a look, it was entertainment news, the title was: I Am A Singer Amazingly Finds a Dark Horse, Newcomer Qin Baobao Conquers the Audience with Heaven-Defying Looks and Original Songs.
"What do you want to say?" Qin Ze smiled.
That's right, Qin Baobao was on fire, or rather, she had received a certain amount of attention. I Am A Singer, as a phenomenal variety show, didn't lack attention. Qin Baobao was a hit in the first episode of the second season, it was hard not to be noticed.
This title was still considered good, some news titles were even more exaggerated, UC wrote it like this: Shocking, I Am A Singer Singer Li Zongde was Actually Treated Like This by a Newcomer.
Zhang Ya made a fuss and said, "Oh my god, did Baobao really go to participate in I Am A Singer? Not revealing any news at all, that's not being a good enough friend."
Her own bestie, inexplicably became a star.
"Mainly because she was afraid of losing face, so she didn't say anything."
"This morning, I heard the male colleagues in the office talking about her, they're completely infatuated, causing my attention as the office goddess to drop straight down."
"Another day, bring Qin Baobao to your office, wouldn't your position as office goddess be restored?"
"Forget it, then I'd definitely be harassed every day, with everyone asking me to pimp you out."
Qin Ze sneered, "Do you guys pimp me out any less?"
Zhang Ya cautiously said, "You really are angry, you're definitely angry. I already said that last time, Li Zemin wasn't invited by me."
Qin Ze drank his tea in silence.
"One is a brother-complex, the other is a sister-complex," Zhang Ya muttered softly.
