Around 11 a. m., Song Wantang was driving out of the underground parking garage of her residential complex, planning to meet up with her girlfriends for lunch and then have a pleasant game of mahjong.
As soon as I drove out of the underground parking garage, my phone vibrated.
She didn't want to bother with it at first, but when she glanced at the message on the phone stand and saw that it was from Xiao Wu in the store, Song Wantang immediately raised an eyebrow.
There's usually nothing important going on at the braised chicken shop, so Xiao Wu would never bother him.
Unless there are special circumstances.
for example...
Song Wantang immediately stopped the car, tapped her phone screen a few times, and saw the message from Xiao Wu.
[ Xiao Wu ]: Boss lady, your nephew brought another little girl to the restaurant for a meal. This is the third little girl he's brought before.
Oh, it's number three.
Song Wantang nodded in realization, replied to the message, then turned the steering wheel and parked in an empty space next to the community property management office.
The store was just steps away, Song Wantang headed straight there as soon as she got out of the car.
... At this moment, Song Yunshen and Xia Yunuo had finished ordering the braised chicken and found a seat.
As soon as the braised chicken was served, Song Wantang pushed open the shop door.
Because Song Yunshen's seat was facing away from the door, Xia Yunuo looked up at the person who came in, but did not know who he was and thought he was just a customer who came to eat at the restaurant.
So she lowered her head again and peacefully enjoyed the delicious braised chicken.
It wasn't until she noticed that Song Wantang's legs had stopped behind Song Yunshen and remained motionless that Xia Yunuo realized something was wrong. She looked up at Song Wantang and found that Song Wantang was smiling at her.
Xia Yunuo was startled.
At this moment, Song Yunshen also noticed something was wrong. He looked at Xia Yunuo's expression and was about to turn his head when he felt someone put their arm around his shoulder.
"Oh, you're here to eat again?" Song Wantang asked with a smile, leaning down. "And this is... let me guess, her name is..."
" Xia Yunuo, her name is Xia Yunuo, she's my classmate." Song Yunshen, afraid that his aunt would mispronounce her name, quickly interrupted to introduce her, "She's been teaching Yingying recently."
"Oh~" Song Wantang nodded in understanding, and greeted Xia Yunuo with a smile, "Hello, I'm his aunt. I own this restaurant. Please help yourselves."
"Oh... Hello, Auntie." Xia Yunuo gently, calling out instinctively, then realizing something, quickly corrected herself, "No... Hello, Auntie!"
"Oh, hahaha!" Song Wantang laughed happily, "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a form of address." Song Wantang clearly liked Xia Yunuo very much.
Although she liked Xia Jinshu when she first met her, Xia Yunuo was prettier. Her face looked as delicate as a finely sculpted porcelain doll, with no flaws.
It's the kind of thing that's stunning at first glance, and you just can't take your eyes off it.
It appeals to both men and women.
Song Wantang patted Song Yunshen's shoulder a few times and rubbed his head, thinking to herself that he was indeed her nephew, and that he had such good taste, bringing along several beautiful young women.
I just don't know which one he likes.
"Auntie, are you eating here too?" Song Yunshen shook his head, brushing his aunt's hand away. "Want to eat with us?"
"No, no, I had plans with my girlfriends, I just came to check in briefly," Song Wantang said with a smile. "You guys enjoy your meal, I'll be going now."
"Hey! Don't go yet, let's chat a little longer." Song Yunshen suddenly remembered Song Jiayao's matter and quickly stopped her. "What's the rush?"
"What else do you want to talk about?" Song Wantang stopped, completely bewildered, wondering what use she was as a third wheel. This kid was only half-awake.
I'll have to give him a little nudge next time; what kind of guy brings young girls here to eat braised chicken all the time?
Couldn't you take her to Wanda Plaza or somewhere else to eat something nice? She's really embarrassing her as her aunt.
I already gave them a 2,000 yuan dating fund, but they don't seem to know how to use it properly.
If it's not enough, just ask her for more.
"I just want to ask you something," Song Yunshen said. "I was chatting with Sister Yaoyao on WeChat the other day, and she secretly complained about you to me."
"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Song Wantang immediately abandoned her intention to leave. "What did she say about me?"
"I'm so annoyed by your constant pressure to get married," Song Yunshen said. "I don't think it's that bad. Sister Yaoyao is only a sophomore in college. Why are you pressuring her about this?"
"Was I pressuring her to get married?" Song Wantang got angry as soon as she heard this. "And she's starting to look down on me?"
"I was telling her to take advantage of her time in school and find someone she likes!"
"These days, relationships are only truly pure during student days. Once you enter the workforce, where can you find true love?"
"If she doesn't look for someone now, she might never have the chance again!"
"I didn't introduce her to any blind dates, is it wrong for me to urge her to find a boyfriend?"
Song Yunshen was stunned when he heard what his aunt said. He hadn't expected it to be like this. So it wasn't about pressuring him to get married after all.
"Doesn't Sister Yaoyao have someone she likes?"
"How would I know? Can you ask her for me?" Song Wantang pouted. "But she won't tell me."
"Alright." After understanding the situation, Song Yunshen nodded and said, "I'll find an opportunity to ask him. You can go now."
"My girlfriends are waiting, I can't talk to you anymore." Song Wantang waved her hand and left the store.
After Song Wantang left, Xia Yunuo whispered, "I think what Auntie said makes a lot of sense."
"What's the logic behind that?" Song Yunshen teased with a chuckle, "Is it really so reasonable to date while in school?"
Xia Yunuo blushed slightly and lowered her head under his gaze, quickly explaining in a low voice, "We'll have to wait until we're in college to talk about it. It's definitely not possible in high school. The college entrance exam is more important."
"Yes, you make a good point." Song Yunshen nodded in agreement.
"So you want to talk to your sister and make things clear?" Xia Yunuo asked curiously.
"What else is there to say?" Song Yunshen shook his head. "If Sister Yaoyao doesn't want to find a boyfriend, then it's none of my business. After all, there are very few guys as handsome and outstanding as me. She's known me since she was little, so it's normal for her standards to be high."
Xia Yunuo: "..." [He's so narcissistic... but what he said isn't entirely unreasonable...]
Although Xia Yunuo didn't speak, Song Yunshen still heard her inner thoughts from her voice and immediately smiled smugly.
"So what are your plans after dinner?" Song Yunshen asked again. " Yingying is going to the hospital for her appointment. You'll be free this afternoon, right?"
"I should go to the library..." Xia Yunuo said subconsciously, but then suddenly remembered something, her gaze fell on Song Yunshen's face, and she fell silent, a hint of anticipation in her eyes.
But she was too embarrassed to say it out loud, so she could only lower her head in confusion, pretend to eat, and first stuff a piece of chicken into her mouth.
Can I come over to his house? He said before that he'd invite me over sometime when he has time.
Seeing her like this, and hearing the thoughts in his mind, Song Yunshen couldn't help but laugh and tease her, "Are you going to the library? You're really working hard."
"I... I didn't say that..." Xia Yunuo became a little anxious upon hearing this, thinking that this person had always invited her directly before, so why was he not saying anything today?
[I love seeing her anxious face, it's so cute! I won't say anything, let's see when you'll offer to come over to my house to play.]
Hearing Song Yunshen's thoughts in her mind, Xia Yunuo was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head in embarrassment and anger, clenching her little fists.
That guy is so mean!
He realized I actually wanted to go to his house, so he deliberately played a trick on me here. How awful!
Inviting yourself wouldn't hurt, would it?
It feels really strange that I offered to go to a boy's house to play.
Xia Yunuo hesitated and stammered, unable to bring herself to say it.
Seeing that her face was as red as a teapot boiling over, Song Yunshen finally stopped teasing her and said with a smile, "Then let's go to my house for a while. I was just saying I'd invite you over, but the last two times we just strolled around and didn't really do much."
"Okay!" Xia Yunuo breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing his invitation and readily agreed without hesitation.
