Shipping CP

In the car, Tang Zhi Chu sat in the passenger seat.

Jiang Lan drove very steadily, always paying attention to the distance between herself and the car in front. As soon as she saw the brake lights of the car ahead, she immediately braked.

Neither of them spoke, as if they were the two quietest people in the villa.

Tang Zhi Chu didn't feel awkward about this silence. In his past life, he had a driver, and when the driver drove, he would quietly contemplate in the car.

Jiang Lan also didn't feel awkward; she liked quiet too.

Normally, she enjoyed her quiet driving time the most.

Tang Zhi Chu's outfit was very simple: loose, slightly faded solid-colored jeans, a plain white shirt, and a short jacket.

Simple and comfortable.

Jiang Lan remembered Chen Si Yang having a similar style.

Judging purely by their appearance, Jiang Lan felt the CP had potential.

Jiang Lan had been an entrepreneur for four years, interacting with many employees and clients. She had developed her own way of judging people.

When it came to men's fashion, there were usually two broad categories.

One was with makeup, the other without.

These two categories were further divided into subcategories. For example, those who wore makeup and had a suitable overall look and strong presence were, in Jiang Lan's eyes, the more difficult type to deal with.

Those who wore makeup, were also suitable and presentable, but lacked presence, tended to be more sensitive. They were good friends but not suited for important responsibilities.

Those without makeup, whose outfits were suitable and presentable, were generally considered normal and the easiest to get along with. Most likely, if you respected this type of person, they would respect you even more.

Of course, these observations still needed to be combined with their speech and demeanor. With more experience, one could make a general judgment.

What about those whose outfits seemed unreasonable? These were usually called street loafers or "ghost fire youth," and Jiang Lan's circle didn't typically encounter this type of person.

In Jiang Lan's eyes, Tang Zhi Chu belonged to another category. Not only was his attire reasonable and comfortable, but it also highlighted his physique. His slightly loose clothing, combined with his height, perfectly concealed his somewhat slender frame, adding a touch of maturity and harmony.

Jiang Lan thought it was normal for Tang Zhi Chu's appearance to attract Chen Si Yang.

Jiang Lan herself might not have realized she was starting to lean towards shipping couples.

"Chicken feet, crayfish, plus fish and chicken, and a couple of side dishes should be enough, right?" Jiang Lan suddenly thought of the main task and asked.

Tang Zhi Chu snapped back to attention. "Mm, should I make two side dishes for you?"

Jiang Lan pondered for a moment. She really needed to make two. Zhou Yun had made seafood and steak on the first day, and Chen Si Yang had made Sichuan cuisine. It wouldn't do for her to make none.

"Then I'll make a vegetable dish and some pork rib soup?"

"Okay."

"Then let's go to the supermarket directly."

Half an hour later, Jiang Lan and Tang Zhi Chu arrived at a large supermarket not far from the villa.

Jiang Lan rarely cooked for herself, especially after starting her business.

Suddenly arriving at a large supermarket, she found everything amazing.

Tang Zhi Chu pushed the cart behind her. When they passed the snack aisle, Tang Zhi Chu called out to Jiang Lan, "Let's buy some snacks to eat."

Jiang Lan nodded. "Sure."

The snack aisle had a large section of shelves, filled with a dazzling array of products.

Tang Zhi Chu was choosing, and Jiang Lan was also choosing.

However, Jiang Lan deliberately avoided one area, while Tang Zhi Chu happened to stop in that area.

Five minutes later, Jiang Lan watched as Tang Zhi Chu threw a pile of snacks into the shopping cart.

"You're buying so much?" Jiang Lan's voice was filled with surprise.

Tang Zhi Chu smiled. "These are all my favorites, and they're local brands."

"Thank you."

Tang Zhi Chu shook his head, indicating it was unnecessary, and then pushed the cart towards the vegetable and meat section.

Half of that pile of snacks came from one brand, Jinyou.

This brand was precisely Jiang Lan's brand, consisting of various meat snacks like jerky, which were their best-selling items, as well as chicken feet and duck necks.

Jiang Lan, the owner of Jinyou Food. Jinyou Food was formerly Jinyou Food, an old food enterprise in Yuzhou, which Jiang Lan later acquired.

This information was not hard to find.

Since they were at the supermarket, buying something from an acquaintance was, in Tang Zhi Chu's view, a favor done willingly.

Behind him, Jiang Lan nodded slightly, thinking that this person was quite something.

"Carrot and pork rib soup? Or white radish and pork rib soup?" In the vegetable section, Jiang Lan asked Tang Zhi Chu.

"Buy one of each, it'll look better for color."

"What kind of stir-fried vegetables should I make?"

"If you're stir-frying, you could do vinegar-braised cabbage, garlic hollow cabbage, or just simple stir-fried baby bok choy. You could also do blanched vegetables, like blanched lettuce."

Jiang Lan said in surprise, "Professionals are different. Give me two. I can probably manage stir-fried bok choy. Is vinegar-braised just adding vinegar? How do you do blanched?"

"Then buy bok choy and lettuce. Those two aren't difficult. I'll tell you how to make them later."

"Okay!"

After finishing their trip to the supermarket, Jiang Lan felt she could understand why Chen Si Yang chose Tang Zhi Chu.

Tang Zhi Chu wasn't old, but he had a decisiveness and maturity beyond his years.

He wouldn't make small talk just to seem like they were good friends. Everything he said was useful information.

It was the same when they went grocery shopping. It was as if he already had a mental list of everything they needed. A person like him might not attract younger girls because he seemed a bit boring.

But Chen Si Yang was in a special phase, a period of confusion, which Jiang Lan could see.

For Chen Si Yang during this confusing time, someone mature yet still with a youthful spirit appearing was indeed hard for ordinary people to compete with.

Jiang Lan compared Huang Ze Jun and Tang Zhi Chu, then shook her head.

So far, she had interacted with Huang Ze Jun more.

Huang Ze Jun had already become somewhat "greasy," as people often described, and he was also blindly opinionated. For example, during a date, Jiang Lan felt a place wasn't suitable for taking photos, but he insisted he was a professional and that the place was excellent, demanding she listen to him and trust his judgment.

It felt less like he was pursuing her and more like he was conquering her.

Jiang Lan ultimately went along with him. The photos were okay, but she was unhappy inside.

The location was fine, but were there other factors? Like maybe they took too many photos? Were people behind them pointing? Was there enough time?

These things didn't seem to be within his consideration.

However, it was just going through the motions. Jiang Lan processed her emotions internally.

When they got back into the car, Jiang Lan suddenly said "Good luck" to Tang Zhi Chu.

Tang Zhi Chu blinked in surprise, "Good luck?"

Jiang Lan just smiled and said nothing more.

Tang Zhi Chu shrugged, thinking to himself that women were sometimes inexplicable.

Jiang Lan's "good luck" was a spontaneous expression of her feelings, wishing him and Chen Si Yang well.

A girl like Chen Si Yang wasn't someone ordinary people could have.

So, good luck, young man!

They arrived back at the small villa at six-thirty, just in time to start cooking.

As they pushed the door open, they heard a noise. Tang Zhi Chu glanced over and saw Zhou Yun.

She was on the treadmill in the gym area. When he put the snacks on the table, Tang Zhi Chu glanced over again.

It was because Zhou Yun was wearing yoga pants.

Those yoga pants perfectly showcased the curves of her legs. Looking up, she had a perky butt, a slim waist, and fair skin.
