Chapter 35.
A night of peaceful coexistence brought the two of them closer to each other.
"Morning."
Tangli was sitting on a chair, holding a cup of warm milk in her hand. She had a white beard, but Tangli didn't notice that she was looking at Lu Yanwan with a cute look on her face.
Opposite Tang Li, she placed a cup of the same warm milk, and of course freshly baked toast. Such thoughtfulness and meticulousness improved Lu Yanwan's impression of her even more.
"The bed I slept in yesterday was not comfortable at all, and the pillow made my neck sore from sleeping on it. So I got up early and made some breakfast. After all, I am still growing and I get hungry quickly."
The warm atmosphere was destroyed by Tang Li's few words, and all the thoughtfulness and meticulousness disappeared. The person in front of Lu Yanwan was clearly a picky young lady who strives to be exquisite in everything.
Lu Yanwan took her seat, tapped her lips, and smiled at Tangli without saying a word.
Tangli was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Lu Yanwan meant.
"What?"
Lu Yanwan took out a tissue and stood up to wipe off the remaining milk on Tang Li's lips. The small dining table kept a comfortable distance between the two of them. At this time, Lu Yanwan's sudden approach seemed to break the unfamiliarity between the two. Tangli looked at her in astonishment, her eyes no longer as naughty and playful as before, Lu Yanwan said, "There is milk here."
Tangli drank the milk herself, wouldn't she know?
Of course she knows.
It's just that she wants to use this little oversight to look cute. After all, she eats and lives in other people's homes, and she will bully others in the future. Now she acts cute and acts like a spoiled brat, so that Tang Li can offset a little bit of her guilt, because Lu Yanwan seemed to be able to tolerate her act of coquettishness and make her happy, so Tangli wouldn't feel so guilty.
Tangli looked at Lu Yanwan who was approaching, and she suddenly felt that her moves had no effect, and instead Lu Yanwan turned her around!
Let me ask, who wouldn't like a homely sister who smiles sweetly and takes care of others?
Tangli stared at Lu Yanwan blankly. She no longer had any arrogance in this appearance. She was inexplicably softer as she was inaccessible, just like a delicate rose that had put away its thorns, exuding a "Come and touch her" wantonly temperament, how can a flower lover who loves roses not be tempted?
Lu Yanwan chuckled. She returned to her seat, put her hands together on her chin, and said, "What are you looking at me for? Hurry up and have breakfast. I will take you back to school later."
"Um."
Tangli picked up the toast and started eating it, becoming a little shy and reserved.
This is really surprising. You must know that Tangli didn't show the slightest bit of shyness when he took the initiative to stay at Lu Yanwan's house last night. So when Lu Yanwan noticed this strange thing about her, she tilted her head and smiled, without making a sound, not letting Tangli see her smile. Because she was aware that people of Tang Li's age loved face most.
Tangli only brought an umbrella when she came, and left empty-handed.
Lu Yanwan locked the door and asked, "Don't you want an umbrella?"
"It's broken."
Lu Yanwan put the key into her bag and said, "Then leave it here."
Let's just treat it as a souvenir of the two people's meeting. Anyway, after sending Tangli back to school, there is no possibility that she and Tangli will meet again.
Lu Yanwan has always had this thought. Just like what she said yesterday, she and Tangli are not from the same world, and now it's time for them to return to their respective places.
Tangli followed her, her high ponytail swaying back and forth. The two of them walked up the stairs, keeping each other acommpany quietly.
Tang Li, who was without makeup, was still dazzlingly beautiful. She looked at the people around her, pulled Lu Yanwan's hand and asked her to open the car, and then slipped into the car and never came out again.
"Yan Wan, is that your friend? She looks quite young."
Lu Yanwan lived here for several years and got along well with the landlord and neighbors. Later, she saved up money and discussed with the landlord before buying this place. So she couldn't pretend that she couldn't hear the neighbor's chatter, so she smiled and said, "A child from a relative's family."
"Let me tell you, she doesn't look like your friend. She turns out to be a child from a relative, but I have to say that everyone in your family is very beautiful."
Lu Yanwan said a few perfunctory words and used the excuse of being late for work to escape the gossipy questioning from her neighbors.
As soon as she got in the car, she was disliked by Tang Li, who said, "Your neighbor is really warm-hearted. She has to ask about everything."
"Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. It is very important for me to have a good relationship with my neighbors when I am alone."
Tangli thought for a moment that this was really the case, and stopped asking about it. She turned to talk about something else, and said, "I'm not your relative's child."
Lu Yanwan could hear her sincerity and explained: "It's an excuse, but it's not true."
"Why don't you admit that I am your friend?"
Lu Yanwan looked at her and said seriously: "Then next time I encounter a situation like this, I will say that you are a friend."
Next time? It was impossible, because she was about to say goodbye to Tangli.
Since Tang Li wanted a satisfactory answer, she could satisfy her.
In fact, what she said was not wrong. She is not originally her friend, she's just a girl with a bad temper and a bit of a silly attitude.
Tang Li was not satisfied with Lu Yanwan's seemingly sincere but perfunctory answer. She always felt that she was disliked by Lu Yanwan. So she ignored Lu Yanwan with a cold face along the way. The two of them were not familiar with each other, and naturally they didn't have much in common. From Lu Yanwan's point of view, it was normal to have nothing to say. After all, she and Tangli really had nothing to talk to each other.
The only person she could chat with Tang Li was He Wen, but this man Lu Yanwan didn't want to mention it for the time being, so she had to stay silent when dealing with Tang Li.
Lu Yanwan thought for a while and played some soothing pure music to relieve the current embarrassment. At least it wouldn't be so quiet that it would make people's scalp numb.
"It's ugly."
"Then you sing one?"
"Hey, you're going too far!"
Lu Yanwan looked forward and said with a smile: "Didn't you say it's unpleasant? Why is it too much if I ask you to sing?"
"Can't you see I'm angry?"
"Then are you still angry now?"
Tang Li sneered: "I just want to jump out of the car now!"
The smile in Lu Yanwan's eyes grew stronger and she said, "It seems you are really angry."
"Humph."
Lu Yanwan saw the school gate not far away and found an empty parking space. She stopped and said, "Okay, you don't have to see me anymore, so you can be happy."
Tangli happily unbuckled her seat belt, with a cold expression, curled her lips in disdain, and said arrogantly: "Then I'm so happy, I finally don't have to see you, a nuisance."
Lu Yanwan raised her eyebrows, leaned over and held Tangli's hand, stopping Tangli from opening the door. She asked, "Have I become a nuisance again? If you really hated me, you wouldn't have followed me home yesterday."
Tangli tried to break free from her hand, but her grip was a little tight.
Tang Li frowned in displeasure, "Aren't you asking me to leave? Who are you if you're not a nuisance? You were the one who let me go, and you were the one who held me back. Lu Yanwan, you are really contradictory."
There was anger towards Lu Yanwan in her eyes, which instantly shattered Lu Yanwan's calmness and made it impossible to put it back together again.
Lu Yanwan helplessly let go of Tang Li's wrist, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry."
"I don't lack your words, and you haven't apologized to me."
"I think you are right. The two of us are indeed not from the same world."
"You and He Wen are from the same world."
This time Tang Li finally broke free from Lu Yanwan's hand. She opened the car door, turned her back to Lu Yanwan, and said, "Thank you for taking me in last night. I shouldn't have entangled you. I'm sorry."
She closed the door, and the two parted unhappy.
Tangli let out a sigh of relief and walked towards the campus expressionlessly.
She didn't know why she was angry. She always felt that she was being messy and unreasonable, but she was still very angry.
Angry at herself and Lu Yanwan.
This is not an act, this is a very aggrieved emotion.
Tangli froze on the spot, thought about it, and suddenly understood.
Yes, I was wronged. It was Lu Yanwan who lied first and said that she was a relative's child. She didn't even want to admit her as a friend. Is she that bad? It was as if Lu Yanwan would lose face if she admitted it, and she was forcing her to leave!
She has lived in this world for twenty-three years, and she has never been kicked out by anyone!
Lu Yanwan is definitely the first person!
Tangli knew that her character was a bad person, so she didn't think about doing anything good.
She had other thoughts towards Lu Yanwan, such as bullying her in the future.
But she hasn't bullied yet, she is still a good person.
As a good person, is it wrong for her to be friends with the heroine? No.
Even if she ruined her blind date with He Wen yesterday, she still thanked her.
She is such a sensible little girl. Didn't what Lu Yanwan did just now make her feel wronged?
Tangli instantly found a reason for herself to be confident, and she returned to the original route with great pride.
Before the car drove away, Tangli knocked on the car window.
Lu Yanwan lowered the window and looked at her in surprise.
Tangli bent down and said sternly: "Lu Yanwan, give me your contact information."
Lu Yanwan hurriedly took out her business card and handed it to her, saying softly: "Here you go."
Tang Li straightened her back and sneered condescendingly: "Since you just made me feel wronged, I plan to call you tonight to insult you!"
She put Lu Yanwan's business card in her pocket, waved her hand in disgust, and said, "Come on, hurry up, you chased me away just now, now I'll chase you away!"
Lu Yanwan held the car window with both hands and said cautiously: "Why do you have to call me at night to scold me? You can do it now."
Tangli's eyes widened in astonishment, and she took a few steps back unconsciously, putting her hands on her chest to protect her, and said, "Sister, you actually still have such a habit of masochism? I'm going to scold you."
"Where are you thinking? Didn't I just want you to get over your anger quickly?"
Lu Yanwan puffed up her cheeks, her delicate cat eyes full of helplessness. She really wasn't afraid of being scolded. When she first started working, she was often scolded by the team leader or manager, and she has long since developed a good ability to go in with the left ear and out with the right ear. If Tang Li could scold her to calm herself down, there would actually be nothing wrong with her.
During the time when Tang Li turned around and left, Lu Yanwan understood what it means to be a woman, and she also realized what it means to feel like a second is like a year.
She had not forgotten how she felt when she first met Tang Li, and wanted to ask for her contact information. At that time, she was still brave. She probably made a decision in the blink of an eye without too many worries, so wanting her contact information was Lu Yanwan's purest thoughts.
But as she got along with Tangli, and observed her clothes and her temperament, Lu Yanwan understood that her family background was very good, and she could be said to be a girl who was raised in a honeypot.
Lu Yanwan is very afraid of such people, because she has many qualities that Lu Yanwan can envy.
She is confident, willful and cute, like the most dazzling pearl.
Lu Yanwan, on the other hand, has become her opposite, like a small grass, full of strong vitality, no matter how wind blows from east to west, north or south.
So from the initial desire to get to know her and contact her, it evolved into urging her to leave as soon as possible, and then kept saying that she was not from the same world.
This was not said to Tangli, but to herself.
Lu Yanwan felt sad when she saw her leaving. In her current interpersonal relationship, she could not find anyone who could compare with Tang Li, and it was very likely that she would never meet her again in the future.
She was in a low mood. Even though Lu Yanwan had expected the current situation, her chest still felt uncomfortable and she could not breathe.
Lu Yanwan wanted to tell her to stop, but she couldn't muster the slightest courage.
As she once said, the older a person grows, the less courage he has.
However, things took a turn for the better.
She saw Tang Li again.
That beautiful face, with the familiar arrogance of Lu Yanwan, was back.
Lu Yanwan couldn't suppress the smile on her face. Sometimes fate is really mysterious. This girl whom she only got to know for one day has the ability to affect her thoughts. Is it because she is too lonely?
When Tang Li heard Lu Yanwan's explanation, the indifference on her face melted away. She squinted and said reluctantly: "Aren't you going to work? If I scold you now, you will definitely be late. Didn't you say you still want to make money to buy a better car? I don't want you to not be able to make a lot of money, because then my butt will be very uncomfortable!"
Lu Yanwan felt like a child who had never eaten candy. When she heard Tang Li's awkward concern, she felt so soft-hearted and said, "Tang Li, you are really kind."
"Huh?!" What does she mean? Or should I say that I missed something? Otherwise, why can't I understand her words and I can't keep up with her speed?
The contact information that Lu Yanwan had been struggling with for a long time was solved so easily by Tang Li. She seemed to have forgiven her. As long as Tang Li called at night as promised, all her worries would disappear.
Although she is a few years older than her, she is not as good as her in some aspects.
"Then I'll wait for your call tonight!"
Tang Li was a little confused by her operation. Maybe Lu Yanwan really had a masochistic habit. What she just said to calm herself down must be an excuse.
"Okay, okay. I'll call you tonight!" Tangli felt like she had guessed the truth.
Lu Yanwan waved, "Then I'm leaving."
Tangli cleared her throat and said, "Be careful on the road and pay attention to safety."
"Um!"
Tangli kicked the pebbles at her feet, stopped lingering, and trotted towards the campus.
The mood this time was completely different from the last time. She probably thought that her grievances could be recovered from Lu Yanwan, so Tangli smiled, and the relaxation and joy on her face made her look much gentler.
"Tangli!" She met her roommate, and she called out Tangli's name politely.
The roommate thought that Tangli would just nod and let it go as before.
Unexpectedly, Tangli smiled for the first time this time and said, "Going back to the dormitory?"
Roommate Fang Ruxin nodded flattered. She was still in a daze. She suddenly understood why Tangli kept a cold face in school. If she could see that expression every day, wouldn't it cause trouble for people?
She knew Tang Li's good looks, but when this iceberg beauty showed off her other charms, the word "amazing" was not enough to describe how Fang Ruxin felt at the moment.
"Yes... yes, go back to the dormitory, Tangli, do you want to come with me?"
Tangli agreed to her, and the two of them walked side by side and talked about some professional matters.
Fang Ruxin swallowed, this is simply a paradise for beauty control!
But halfway through the walk, she remembered the troublemaker in the dormitory. Fang Ruxin coughed dryly and said, "Tangli, I heard that Zhou Liantong is going to stay outside."
"She want to move out?"
Fang Ruxin shared all the news she knew so far with Tangli. Anyway, she was on Tangli's side. Although she was usually cold and a bit arrogant, there was nothing wrong with her character, unlike Zhou Liantong who was bad, straight out of black water.
"It seems that someone helped her find a small apartment. Didn't Zhou Liantong cooperate with a game company? She also has a source of income, so she wants to move out. After all, other people in the dormitory don't like her very much."
Tangli didn't care whether she moved out or not, and responded lazily to her words. Until Fang Ruxin mentioned a name, she suddenly became interested and asked, "Did you see this man yesterday?"
"Yes, Hongdou and I went out to buy something to eat. Then I saw Zhou Liantong and a man getting out of the taxi. I asked her later and found out that the man's name was He Wen and he was a teacher at No. 2 Middle School. I heard What Zhou Liantong means is that He Wen probably found the small apartment she moved out to."
"Tangli, you don't know. I happen to have a friend who used to be a student of No. 2 Middle School. I asked her if she knew He Wen. It turned out that this teacher He Wen was quite famous. He was a warm-hearted person and a teacher in the school. The students all like him very much."
Tang Li tugged her lips in disgust and complained: "Sometimes a person is too nice, which can be quite scary."
Fang Ruxin looked at Tangli in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Tangli shrugged boredly and said casually: "It's okay."
"Anyway, it's a good idea for Zhou Liantong to move out."
"Indeed, without her dangling in front of me, I should be able to eat a bowl of rice."
"Hahahaha, Tangli, you can be quite funny when you talk sometimes, but you don't usually like to chat."
Tang Li smiled and said, "It's enough to just listen to your chat. I'm just a topic terminator. If you can't talk, just talk less."
The two of them went back to the dormitory talking and laughing.
Because Tangli's smile shocked many people, and it really made Fang Ruxin beside her very proud.
Hum hum, do you see, this is the charm of the school beauty!
Tang Li is in a good mood, and Lu Yanwan is no exception.
She changed into her work uniform and tied her hair up. Lu Yanwan looked sideways in the mirror, which reflected a woman with comfortable features. The lipstick on her lips made Lu Yanwan's complexion fairer. She raised a smile and gave herself a hairnet for her hair.
A lobby manager with a decent manner and a gentle smile appeared.
"Sister Yanyan! Good morning."
Lu Yanwan turned around, and behind her stood a pretty girl. She was not very old. Her eyes looked at Lu Yanwan with a bit of passion. It was obvious that she admired Lu Yanwan very much.
"Qiuqiu, good morning."
Qiu Qiu was favored by Lu Yanwan and helped Qiu Qiu at work.
So when others called Lu Yanwan manager, she, Qiu Qiu, was the only one who called Lu Yanwan "Sister Yanyan." They seem to have a very good relationship, very close.
"Sister Yanyan is in a good mood today?" Qiu Qiu was keenly aware of Lu Yanwan's changes, which also showed that Qiu Qiu paid close attention to Lu Yanwan in private, so that a small change in her made Qiu Qiu interested and discover.
Lu Yanwan did not deny it, tilted her head and put on her earrings, and said, "Yes, I met a friend."
Qiu Qiu took the initiative to go up and help Lu Yanwan, but Lu Yanwan smiled and rejected her. It was a small matter and there was no need to bother others.
Qiu Qiu pursed her lips, leaned against the wall, and said, "Do I know this friend of Sister Yanyan?"
Her words made Lu Yanwan couldn't help laughing, "You two have never met before, how could you possibly know each other."
Qiu Qiu understood that since she had never met him, he was definitely not Lu Yanwan's particularly important friend, so she wouldn't care.
She asked casually: "Sister Yanyan, how was the blind date yesterday?"
"He's a nice person, isn't he?"
Qiu Qiu suddenly raised her head and asked, "Is he a nice person?"
Lu Yanwan continued: "But he's not suitable for me." She closed her locker and obviously put on her earrings.
Qiu Qiu finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. She followed Lu Yanwan and said, "Actually, there is no need for Sister Yanyan to go on a blind date. Sister Yanyan is so good, and people with discernment will definitely like you."
"Then I take your auspicious words. I hope the people I like can also like me."
Qiu Qiu suddenly asked: "Sister Yanyan, does she like men?"
Lu Yanwan smiled in confusion, a little confused about Qiu Qiu's question today.
Qiu Qiu grabbed the hem of her clothes with both hands, took a step forward, and looked at Lu Yanwan bravely.
Yesterday, she went on a blind date and made herself understand something.
"Will Sister Yanyan be willing to accept a woman's love?"
Lu Yanwan loosened her frown and said, "I don't know, because I haven't met the person I like yet, so gender cannot be a negative answer for the time being."
"Qiuqiu, do you understand what I mean?"
Qiu Qiu lowered her head and said nothing. She pulled Lu Yanwan's clothes and gradually tightened them.
Lu Yanwan pressed her temples and pinched her waist with one hand. Qiu Qiu's words became a problem. She never thought that Qiu Qiu would have such feelings for her. Lu Yanwan was a little at a loss, but she couldn't delay Qiu Qiu just because of this unexpected feeling.
She has no feelings for Qiu Qiu and just regards her as a friend.
Growing up, this was the first time she encountered a girl's confession, which made Lu Yanwan understand that there were many things in the world that she had not been exposed to.
So Lu Yanwan implicitly rejected Qiu Qiu.
No feeling means no feeling. Love cannot deceive oneself.
"I have to go to work."
"Sister Yanyan!" Qiu Qiu's hands fell empty, and her eyes were red.
But Lu Yanwan remained unmoved, smiled faintly, and turned a blind eye.
Qiu Qiu saw that Lu Yanwan was not as gentle as usual, and her heart ached as if someone had stepped on the ground. She covered her face and ran away from Lu Yanwan.
Lu Yanwan had a headache, so she decided not to chase her and got busy with her work.
This busy work lasted until dark.
The business in the store has been good recently. The hired chef has successfully doubled the business. The boss is very happy, and so is Lu Yanwan. After all, there is a commission.
"Manager Lu, there is a guest in the private room who wants to meet you."
"Meet me? Is it an old customer?"
The waiter Liu Na shook her head and smiled, "She is a very beautiful girl."
Lu Yanwan immediately thought of a name and said with a smile, "Then I'll go over and have a look."
She had just walked a few steps when she turned to Liu Na and said, "Serve two signature dishes for that private room and charge them to my account."
"Ok, I know."
Lu Yanwan inevitably saw Qiu Qiu on the way to the private room. She looked like she was about to say something but was hesitant. Lu Yanwan kept walking. She quickly arrived at the private room, knocked on the door, opened the door and walked in.
As expected, she met Tang Li, the girl who stood out among the crowd.
"Hi, sister."
Lu Yanwan laughed, made a phone call gesture, and said, "Didn't you agree to call? When did you come?"
Tang Li said arrogantly: "I'm here to give you my performance. It happened that an annoying bug in the dormitory moved out, so I happily treated my classmates to a meal."
"Thank you very much. I will give you a friendly price when the time comes."
Tang Li said without any shortage of money: "Anything is fine."
She glanced at the other roommates who were eating, then ran to Lu Yanwan, hugged her arm, and said, "You guys eat first, I'll go have a word with my sister."
Lu Yanwan was half pulled out by her, and the two of them stayed in the corridor. Tangli said to Lu Yanwan mysteriously: "Let me tell you, that annoying bug can move out thanks to the good old man He Wen."
"He... is so warm-hearted?"
"What do you think."
Lu Yanwan smiled and patted her head, then followed her and said, "You care?"
"You don't care?"
"Yes."
Tangli extended her thumb, good job.
"Did you really want to come and present me with your performance today?"
Tangli's face didn't change and she nodded in acknowledgement.
Actually, she is not. She knew that the hero would appear tonight, so she came here to be the obstacle.
At this moment, a woman with a face like a silver plate and a plump figure came over. When she saw Lu Yanwan, her eyes lit up and she said, "Yanwan, I finally found you. Mr. He just called me and said that he was outside waiting for you."
Lu Yanwan and Tang Li looked at each other. She was afraid that the little girl would think too much, so she hurriedly explained: "This has nothing to do with me."
Tang Li instantly guessed that this woman was the introducer, Sister Li, and said, "Sister Li, today's Lu Yanwan belongs to me. Let He Wen outside stay alone!"
"Who is this?"
I?
A female supporting character who usually likes to compete with heroes for women.
