Chapter 121: In one second, Jiang Yao instantly crushes Ke Bing
"What do you mean by childhood sweethearts? Don't raise the relationship. She's just the sister next door," Chen Yuan was keenly aware of Jiang Yao's emotions. He knew that she was jealous. If there was a female senior in the green bubble, she would ask for details, not to mention her old friend, so he carefully explained: "It's just that when I was a child, I had no friends, so I played badminton with her and did my homework in the study room without anyone supervising me."
Chen Yuan lifted up the bucket full of water with a clang and put it on the ground.
Some water splashed out.
"My parents have a good relationship with her parents, and we are just incidental relatives," he added.
Jiang Yao listened silently. It was obviously a very ordinary description, but it sounded strange to her.
A picture automatically appeared in my mind:
……
Two cute little kids were lying on the desk together, sitting on the same bench, shoulder to shoulder, head to head.
They were doing their homework seriously, occasionally looking up at each other.
Shyness welled up in each other's eyes. They lowered their heads and smiled foolishly.
"Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yuan, you must study hard. Only in this way can you earn more money and become a great adult when you grow up."
"Ah... Sister Rourou, I don't want to grow up. I just want to sit with you and do my homework like this. I feel so happy if we can do it forever."
"Silly boy, you can only marry your sister when you grow up!"
"Marry... Marry Sister Rourou! Okay, I must marry her in the future."
"Xiao Yuan is so good, come... let your sister kiss your little face~"
……
vomit!
Jiang Yao got goosebumps all over her body and clenched her fists. She didn't dare to continue imagining it.
When she looked at Chen Yuan again, Jiang Yao's eyes suddenly became somewhat resentful, and she hit him on the shoulder with a bang.
"You two are in the same study room doing homework every day. How close are you to her?"
"How is this intimate?" Chen Yuan looked at her in bewilderment.
"Tell me the truth, how long have you been so close together? How long have you known each other?!"
Jiang Yao bit her lips anxiously and couldn't help stamping her feet. Anxiety appeared in her eyes and she really wanted to hear his answer.
This Sister Rourou is different from the harmless Liu Tingyue. Her intuition tells her that this woman has a place in Chen Yuan's heart.
In the romance novels she has read, it is often emphasized that "white moonlight has a huge destructive power for boys" and "I wish I could meet you earlier without ever being tempted by you."
In the anime, Qingmei has always been a force that cannot be underestimated.
What's more, Rourou is really good-looking. Compared with herself, they are two different types of beauties.
No matter from which aspect, Liu Tingyue can't be compared.
"I remember that we moved here when I was four years old. At that time, her father was teaching in the next county. He was transferred here to develop his career. When I was in junior high school, her father was transferred again."
"Four, five, six years old..." Jiang Yao counted on her fingers and nodded, then suddenly frowned, "We've been doing homework together for ten years! And you still say we're not childhood sweethearts???"
"There aren't so many clearly defined relationships," Chen Yuan waved his hand, not wanting to continue. "If I hadn't met her today, I would have forgotten about this person, eh? Oh, what was her name? You see, I can't remember it after a few minutes..."
"Pretend! Just pretend!"
Jiang Yao poked his belly, and Chen Yuan chuckled shamelessly.
"Okay, Master Yaoyao, we finally have the chance to go fishing today, don't be so unhappy."
As he spoke, he stretched out his fingers to help Jiang Yao lift her cheeks upwards, creating a smile that was uglier than crying. His hands were not clean because they had just been exposed to sea water, and Jiang Yao smelled a salty and wet smell, but she did not push Chen Yuan's hand away in disgust.
Instead, he made a face.
"Let it go now, we'll talk about it when we get back."
She muttered to herself, and after some thought, she decided to enjoy the present moment as Chen Yuan said.
He temporarily put aside the unpleasant emotions and began to ignore Ke Bing.
……
The rocky beaches in Sanya are naturally beautiful. Standing on a slightly higher cliff, you can see towering green mountains in the distance and countless birds circling above the sea level.
The beach is clear and the sand is white, the waves are surging, and dark clouds cover the sky, gathering together in piles.
The later it gets, the more the dark sky seems to be pressing down. Looking far away, the sea and the sky have already merged into one.
Jiang Yao was happily fishing with Chen Yuan. Under Chi Yu's guidance, she became more and more proficient at fishing. She cast and reeled in the rod very professionally, and people would believe her if she said she had come here to fish a few times.
Not long after, she caught the second fish, but this time it was a very small stonefish.
Jiang Yao bravely placed it in the palm of her hand, feeling its vibrant vitality for a while, but finally put it back into the sea.
She gained a lot, and Chen Yuan thought that the benefits for novices were really amazing, while he himself gained nothing.
So, he came over to the place where Yaoyao was fishing, thinking that it was a problem with the water area.
As a result, I didn’t expect that a few minutes later I also caught a stonefish, which was as big as a palm!
When pulling the fishing line, I really experienced how lively the sea fish is. It is a completely different feeling from fishing for freshwater fish.
Two and a half hours later, we caught seven or eight fish, all of which were quite large, filling up half the bucket.
When night fell, Jiang Yao rubbed his sore arms, put down his fishing rod and decided not to fish anymore.
It was said to be more than two hours, and a lot of time was spent on sorting out the fishing lines. During this time, Jiang Yao even took Chen Yuan to the top of the rocky beach to take pictures, leaving behind some beautiful personal photos.
She stood on the cliff, posing in cute and charming postures, with a sweet expression and smiling eyes.
The sea breeze blowing the messy hair adds a bit of beauty.
We took a lot of group photos.
Jiang Yao was very satisfied with every photo and felt that these raw photos could be preserved even without any retouching.
It’s no wonder that I prepared my makeup carefully today and got so many bottles and jars. I can say that all my expectations before coming here have been met and I’m filled with joy.
Except... the outrageous encounter with that childhood sweetheart affected my mood at the beginning.
Jiang Yao actually had a lot to say to Chen Yuan, but just before she was about to leave, Ke Bing came over and completely interrupted her subsequent plans.
……
"It looks like you guys have had a great catch today. This bucket is almost half full!" Holding the fishing rod, Ke Bing leaned over to take a look into the bucket.
"It's not easy to get these catches in more than two hours. It seems that Miss Jiang has a talent for fishing." Chi Yu said on the side. "Haha, just so-so."
Listening to these compliments, Jiang Yao felt a little proud inside.
But she still pretended to be humble on the surface.
"Didn't you catch anything?" she asked.
"There was... one, but it was too small, so I let it go. The wind was too strong today and the iron board I brought was too light, so I couldn't throw it far."
Ke Bing shook his head, looking regretful.
She has been fishing for some time and has had this hobby since she moved to Sanya.
Misjudging the wind speed in the evening was indeed a big mistake.
At this time, Chen Yuan came over.
As soon as she saw Xiao Yuan, the topic of fishing was immediately thrown out of her mind. Before the man came up to her, from a distance, Ke Bing asked, "Xiao Yuan, you don't have anything else tonight, right? How about we go out for dinner together? It's a fate worth celebrating to meet in Sanya. We haven't seen each other for so many years."
"Eat?" Chen Yuan wiped his hands with a tissue and looked at Jiang Yao, "We have booked a restaurant, how about another day?"
He seemed to be asking for Yaoyao's opinion.
He thought that they could just go through the motions when they met and reminisce about the past.
I never thought about having dinner together.
In fact, before Chen Yuan actually met Ke Bing, he still had some memories, which were quite warm when he thought about them, but why did he suddenly feel strange and disillusioned after they met?
It really is true.
The lethality of Bai Yueguang is unattainable even if Bai Yueguang himself comes.
It only exists in the ignorant years of youth. Once lost, you can never feel it again.
Jiang Yao made a judgment instantly that she must agree to this dinner, otherwise she would appear to be petty and like to control her boyfriend.
Although she is indeed narrow-minded, this cannot be seen by her competitors!
It's just a meal, how can it be a Hongmen Banquet?!
No, she will host it directly!
"Yes, we haven't seen each other for so long, how can we not have a good reunion! I'll treat you tonight," Jiang Yao gracefully took Chen Yuan's hand and shook her head, saying, "It's okay, we can go to that restaurant tomorrow, so let's cancel today."
Her words.
Not only Chen Yuan, but even Ke Bing was surprised.
He couldn't help but look at Jiang Yao with a higher opinion of him.
Jiang Yao had countless reasons to refuse. In fact, when Xiao Yuan looked at his girlfriend, Rourou felt that she might not be able to eat this meal.
Who would have thought that the other party agreed immediately without hesitation.
Girls with big ideas are actually quite scary.
"How about this, don't treat us, I'll do it," Chi Yu suggested, holding up the fishing rod. "To be honest, I only fished for two hours, and I feel bad about charging you for fishing with me. Why don't you come to Yilu to fish and eat seafood? If you agree, Mr. Chen, we can also serve these fish. They're hard to handle anyway."
"Then... let's do it."
Several people also knew Chi Yu. Instead of eating at a formal place, it would be better to try the seafood made by local residents of Sanya.
"Okay, Chi Chi's cooking skills are really great, so I'm going to enjoy myself tonight."
Ke Bing's face was full of smiles, and his eyes involuntarily swept over Chen Yuan.
Next to her, her best friend's eyes were shining with excitement. She naturally didn't quite understand the implicit game between the two of them, she just came there to get a free meal.
……
The steaming spicy fish was served on the table, with green and red peppers and Sichuan peppercorns sprinkled all over the surface. The huge plate was full, and the spicy fish was cut open from the belly, into two parts.
The crispy roasted fish skin exudes a unique aroma.
The table was filled with small plates of various seafood, and even cut seasonal fruits.
Five people couldn't finish the food on this table even if they had their stomachs burst.
"Okay! This is the last dish. Come and try it to see if it's spicy enough. I can add some more chili oil." Chi Yu was in a very good mood. As a top fishing companion, she seldom met such a generous guest as Chen Yuan.
The money I usually earn is hard-earned, by fishing all night long.
Of course, the income is also very sufficient.
"That's enough, it's too spicy. I can't eat it any more." The chubby girl picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks, put it in her mouth, and smelled the fragrance in her mouth.
Then, a burning sensation came from the tongue.
There seemed to be peace at the table.
Everyone was talking and laughing, and Ke Bing kept asking about Chen Yuan's recent experiences, as if he wanted to make up for the years he had been absent.
The years of adolescence are probably the years when a boy experiences the greatest changes.
"You got into Lanjing University!" Ke Bing was extremely surprised when he heard Chen Yuan say this. This was not something that ordinary people could get into. "Are your grades so good?"
"I had good grades when I was a kid." Chen Yuan shrugged calmly and focused on the crabs on the plate.
“You didn’t decline in high school? I declined drastically back then, and in the end I only got into an average university in Sanya.”
"It's normal for girls to decline in high school, and I'm no exception!" Chi Yu said while eating. "I didn't want to study anymore when I was in the second year of high school. I just memorized the lessons and finished because my parents forced me to. In the end, I got into a non-key university."
"Ms. Jiang, are you in college now?"
Jiang Yao was eating obediently when she was suddenly called out, which caught her off guard.
Unexpectedly, before she could say anything, Chen Yuan answered for her with a proud look on his face: "My girlfriend... is a master's student at Yale University, with a double degree in philosophy and social science."
As soon as these words came out.
The air suddenly became silent.
Several girls paused while eating, with their chopsticks hanging in the air.
“Ah???” Some of my chubby girlfriends were dumbfounded and said, “Yale University!?”
