So Pure, So Flirtatious

Chapter 172: Buy Another Set

“I have already closed all the curtains. What’s there to be afraid of?” Lan Ling didn’t really mind Yang Ming looking at her. She just started eating once she sat down.

Yang Ming had prepared two bowls of rice, and he placed it right in front of the two of them. Then he said to Lan Ling, “Alright, let’s start eating. Taste my cooking skills. I haven’t cooked in a few years.”

“Hehe, I am pretty sure that it would taste very good with that fragrant smell.” Lan Ling excitedly took out her chopsticks, pressed into a block of tofu and just put it into her mouth. After she chewed it for a while she swallowed it and praised, “It was really delicious. Can you teach me how to make it?”

“Delicious? It was actually quite simple. Firstly, heat the tofu up with some oil, then just pour some pre-made sauce onto it, and it’s done.” Yang Ming said, “When I was young I always brought tofu back home and made it this way. Simple and convenient.”

“En, teach me how to make the sauce in the future. I want to learn it.” Lan Ling said.

Lan Ling ate a lot. Her stomach was bulging. It was stretched to a point where she almost couldn’t walk. She was just shuffling around the room like a crab. After walking for a while and feeling that she had digested the food in her stomach well enough, she said to Yang Ming, “How about the both of us play a while on the bed?”

“If you don’t mind vomiting all of the food from your stomach, let’s go together.” Yang Ming gave her a reproachful look.

“So disgusting.” Lan Ling showed a pose of vomiting. But in fact, it was actually a bit dangerous as she had eaten quite a lot.

To avoid indigestion, Lan Ling had found a few house chores to do. After she cleaned the dishes, she started mopping the floor. Yang Ming stayed for a while. When he noticed that it was about time, he gave Zhang Bing a call and asked him to pick him up and give the driver’s license to him.

Zhang Bing complained that he had somehow become Yang Ming’s dedicated driver. But complaining was just complaining. He still told Yang Ming that he would meet him at the entrance to the Song Jiang University Family Residence.

Yang Ming hung up his phone and said goodbye to Lan Ling. Then as he walked downstairs to the entrance of the apartment, a woman walked toward him. It was someone familiar!

“Big… Sister Xiao Qing.” Yang Ming almost slipped and called her Big Mama. He changed his words.

“Yang Ming, why are you here?” Xiao Qing was also stunned when she saw Yang Ming. She didn’t think that she would be able to meet him here.

“I have a friend who stays here. What about you?” Yang Ming said.

“I came here to visit my father. He also stays here.” Xiao Qing smiled.

“Alright, then I will stop taking your time. You go ahead.” Yang Ming saw Zhang Bing’s Chrysler was driving toward him from far, so he said that to Xiao Qing.

Xiao Qing nodded her head. She and Yang Ming were just mere acquaintances. They would exchange brief greetings before excusing themselves when they met each other.

“Who was that just now? Not bad!” Zhang Bing extended his head from the car window and said lewdly.

“A friend.” Yang Ming turned around and looked at the direction where Xiao Qing had gone.

“That’s a pretty figure. But what’s most important is her vibe of a mature lady. That black stocking was rather tempting. Hey, are you going to introduce her to me?” Zhang Bing said pervertedly.

“Sure, find a day when you can bring Zhao Sisi, then I will call my friend along, and we’ll go hang out together!” Yang Ming said without hesitation.

“F***, just take it as though I said nothing.” Zhang Bing complained, “Get in here quick!”

“Hehe, she is also a university lecturer. Why? Are you interested?” Yang Ming opened the door on the passenger’s side and went into the car.

“University lecturer? An educated woman?” Zhang Bing shook his head. “Nevermind, I don’t want to get into any trouble. If she was a slut, I don’t mind fooling around for a while. But for a serious relationship, I have decided to be with Zhao Sisi.”

“He, have you really decided to marry Zhao Sisi?” Yang Ming felt that Zhang Bing’s decision had been rather hasty.

“Yeah, I thought that she was quite a fine girl. So I wanted to launch my attack after university and pin her down!” Zhang Bing said.

“If you feel that she’s fine that is good enough. Oh yeah, didn’t you want to buy a car? When are you buying it?” Yang Ming took out the car brochure left aside and started reading it. “Did you go to the car city today?”

“Yup. Right after I obtained our driver license, I went straight to the car city. I got a few models that I was interested in. Why don’t you give me some opinions?” Zhang Bing took out a black book from his pocket and handed it to Yang Ming. “Your driver’s license.”

“Heh, it looks pretty delicate.” Yang Ming took over and realized that the texture of the leather felt pretty nice.

“Bullsh*t, I spent about 50 yuan to buy a pure leather cover. How can it be bad?” Zhang Bing pouted.

“Ha, let’s be upfront. Something that was free wouldn’t be as delicate as this.” Yang Ming smiled, “Oh yeah, do you want to purchase a local car or imported car?”

“I don’t really have any special requirement, but it’s not that we can’t afford an imported car either. My dad had just given me the range around 100,000 yuan as a benchmark.” Zhang Bing said, “I looked through a few car models. Both China Junjie and FAW Pentium seemed awesome.”

“Yup, FAW Pentium seemed slightly more expensive, right?” Yang Ming asked as he looked at the brochure, “But this car seemed very luxurious. I like this one.”

“Yeah, it was about 30,000 more yuan when compared to China Junjie’s automatic model. I also favored this car, but my dad wanted to buy a Junjie.” Zhang Bing said.

“Why?” Yang Ming found it amusing, “Isn’t it going to be your car rather than your dad’s?”

“Hai, his little daughter-in-law [1] seemed to have favored the red Junjie. He probably thought that buying two cars at once would be slightly cheaper.” Zhang Bing shook his head. “I wanted to blackmail him. If he didn’t buy me a Pentium, then I will spill his secrets to my mom.”

Yang Ming sweated. “Uncle Zhang is rather unlucky to have someone like you.”

“I will discuss with my dad after I reach home tonight. It should be a Pentium.” Zhang Bing said, “What unlucky? I am his son. How could I receive the same treatment as his little daughter-in-law! F***!”

“Oh yeah, first drive me to the mall at the business street near Song Jiang No. 4 High School.” Yang Ming had suddenly remembered something very important he had to do.

“Go to the business street? For what?” Zhang Bing asked.

“To buy a set of couples shirts, just like this one.” Yang Ming pointed at the shirt on his body.

“Buy the same set? Are you okay? Why didn’t you buy it before?” Zhang Bing asked strangely.

“I just bought it before, so right now I need to buy another set.” Yang Ming said.

“I was saying why didn’t you buy two sets then? What’s the point of torturing me by going another round?” Zhang Bing said feeling irritated.

“You think I didn’t want to? This set was bought together with Chen Mengyan, but Lan Ling saw it. I could only say that I bought this set for her. So I have to buy another set.” Yang Ming explained helplessly.

“You are ruthless. You are a ruthless person!” Zhang Bing extended his thumb.

The car stopped at the front of the specialty shop. Once Yang Ming walked into the shop, he pointed at the shirt he was wearing and asked the salesperson to just bill him for the exact same model. The salesperson was confused, Why is this guy coming back here to buy another set? She couldn’t help but ask, “Sir, didn’t you just buy one before?”

“I really liked this design. My girlfriend liked it too. So we wanted to buy another set to wear in case one set was being washed.” Yang Ming explained perfunctorily.

“That’s the reason?” The promoter wrote the bill as she thought about whether she should reflect this to her manager so that they could import more similar designs. This design is selling well!

After finishing the purchase, Zhang Bing drove Yang Ming back home and went upstairs with Yang Ming. Zhang Bing came over to Yang Ming’s house before, but he never looked down on Yang Ming just because his house was small and old. This was also the key reason why Yang Ming was close to him.

In Yang Ming’s perspective, most of the rich kids don’t want to be together with poor people like him. But Zhang Bing never showed a single trace of discrimination. Never mind that Zhang Bing’s family was rich, Yang Ming noted that there were many small business owners who would already be a show-off even if they earned around 800,000 to 1,000,000 yuan.

“Zhang Bing is here!” Mother Yang welcomed Zhang Bing warmly. “Big Ming, didn’t you go and buy clothes with Chen Mengyan? Why are you coming back with Zhang Bing?”

“Ha, let’s not talk about it. Yang Ming met a…” Zhang Bing wanted to share how he met a robber, but his words were interrupted by Yang Ming’s eye signal.

Yang Ming didn’t want to worry his parents about the incidents which had already passed. It was better not to mention it. Zhang Bing’s response was rather quick, he changed it immediately and said, “Yang Ming met me. Then I dragged him along to visit the car city to survey car models.”

“I see. What about Chen Mengyan? Big Ming, you didn’t just leave her on the street by herself, right?” Mother Yang asked, feeling concerned. Doing such a thing would be undoubtedly impolite!

“How could I? Zhang Bing and I dropped her home first since we have finished shopping for shirts. Take a look, the shirt that I am wearing right now is what Chen Mengyan was wearing too.” Yang Ming pointed at the shirt on him.

Mother Yang squinted her eyes. Looking at the t-shirt on Yang Ming, her mouth was filled with a bright smile. It was obvious that she knew what a similar shirt design meant. It seemed like her son had already conquered Chen Mengyan!

How would she know that he only conquered her temporarily? If Chen Mengyan knew of Lan Ling’s existence, would she still behave as she does now?
