First spoiled, then love

Chapter 501: The lottery brother also commented (11000)

We celebrated my mother's birthday in the evening, and Chen Qingrong and his friend stayed over to sleep.

Before going to bed, Chen Qingrong asked his mother how long they would stay this time, and suggested that they stay longer and not go back every time.

Wang Xiu'e smiled and said, "We will be back the day after tomorrow at the latest. We still have things to do at home."

"Going back so soon again?" Chen Qingrong was a little disappointed. "Since you're only staying for two days, it's better not to let grandma come with you. You and my dad are fine, but grandma is old, and it's very tiring for her to travel by boat."

Wang Xiu'e said helplessly, "But if your father and I are not at home, your grandma will have no one to take care of her."

After a pause, she changed the subject mysteriously, "By the way, do you know how much compensation the relevant department gave this time?"

Chen Qingrong asked curiously, "How much?"

Wang Xiu'e made a one with her right hand and a five with her left hand.

"Fifteen thousand?" Chen Qingrong guessed.

Wang Xiu'e rolled her eyes at him and said, "How can it be so little? It's 150,000!"

"Fifteen thousand?" Chen Qingrong was shocked. "It didn't take up much of our land. How could you give so much? Mom, you didn't go to the relevant department to make a scene, did you?"

For things like land acquisition or house demolition, how much compensation you can get actually has a lot to do with how thick-skinned you are.

Chen Qingrong heard from his mother that one of his relatives' house had been demolished, and when the house was compensated, he was given two more houses than other people.

As for the reason, it is very simple.

The hostess of that relative's house went to the relevant department to make a fuss every few days. She was throwing a tantrum and said that she would not move out unless she received more compensation.

In order to complete the task quickly, the relevant departments had no choice but to agree to her words.

It sounds ridiculous, but it really works, provided that you are not afraid of being called shameless behind your back after you do it.

Wang Xiu'e said angrily, "How is it possible? Am I that kind of dishonorable person? It's simply the price given by the relevant department. Your father and I also think it's quite appropriate. The price given this time is quite high. For example, your uncle Lunzi's family only has about one acre more land than ours, but they still lost 30,000 yuan."

Chen Qingrong laughed, "That's good, that's good. This 150,000 yuan is enough for you and my dad to spend for a long time. I think it would be better for my dad to get a driver's license, and then use the 150,000 yuan to buy him a car."

"Your father really thinks so." Wang Xiu'e said with a smile, "He thinks that every time he comes to Shanghai, he either takes the high-speed rail or you or your husband Zhang asks someone to pick him up by car. This is too tiring. It would be better for him to get a driver's license directly, so that it will be more convenient for him to drive to Shanghai when the time comes."

"That's a good thing. In fact, I've always thought that dad should get a driver's license."

"But I don't want to do that."

"Why?" Chen Qingrong was puzzled. "Mom, don't you believe in Dad's driving skills? It's okay. It's hard for novices to drive on the road. Just practice slowly and you'll be fine."

Wang Xiu'e shook her head. "That's not the case. The main reason is that you and Xiaoru will definitely have a child in the next one or two years. Raising a child nowadays costs much more than raising a child in our time. I want to save this money and support you in raising a child when the time comes."

Chen Qingrong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Mom, aren't you being too far-sighted? Don't worry. With the money Xiaoru and I make now, we can afford to raise a child as a prince or princess. We won't be so poor that we need you to support us with money."

Chen Qingrong really felt that his mother worried too much.

Frankly speaking, if he had not married Xiaoru, but married another girl who had moved to Shanghai like him, it would have been a bit difficult for him to buy a house or even raise a child in Shanghai.

But his marriage partner is Xiaoru. Not to mention her parents, her own savings alone are much more than Chen Qingrong's. Besides, they are now running a thriving company. If they still can't afford to raise a child, then other people might as well not have any children.

After chatting with his mother for a while, Chen Qingrong went back to his room.

When he entered the room, he saw Tang Xiaoru sitting at the computer desk, working hard on her laptop.

"Are you changing your plan or writing a novel?" Chen Qingrong came to her side and took a look, then laughed. "Writing a novel? Why is it a novel about a domineering CEO this time?"

Tang Xiaoru glanced at him and asked, "Did you tell it from the heroine's name again?"

"This time it's the name of the male protagonist." Chen Qingrong pointed, "Generally, only in novels about overbearing CEOs will there be too many male protagonists with the surname Huo, just like in male-oriented novels, those with the surnames Ye and Qin are all masters."

Tang Xiaoru smiled and said, "It's a domineering CEO novel. It tells the story of a pair of lovers in their school days who separated due to some misunderstandings and reunited again a few years later."

Chen Qingrong opened his mouth and asked, "Why does the main plot of this story sound so familiar?"

"It's normal. This is basically what's popular now. Most of the stories are about chasing wives to the crematorium. I've read too many female-oriented novels, so it's inevitable that I'll be influenced."

"Oh, then why don't you write fantasy anymore?"

"Alas, I am too educated. When I write fantasy novels, I always like to use too many idioms. Sometimes the description of the scenery takes up too much space. It is completely unlike the fantasy novels that cater to young children on the market now. I can only give up."

"Um, do you know how many fantasy novel readers you will offend with this?" Chen Qingrong sat down and crossed his legs. "It's better to read fantasy than to read about a domineering CEO, right?"

"I'm not afraid of offending anyone. I'm just worried whether my novel can be approved this time. Do you think your editor will sign it?" Tang Xiaoru was a little worried.

Chen Qingrong shook his head decisively. "She won't sign it. She's the editor of the men's section. How could she sign a novel for the women's section? This is not within her scope of business. When you're done, tell me and I'll find the QQ email address of the editor of the women's section. Then you can try submitting it to the editor of the women's section."

"It is said, it is said, that the requirements for female-oriented stories are relatively low. Basically, as long as they are not too narrative, they will pass. Moreover, humorous stories are more popular nowadays, so you have to make your writing style interesting. Even if it is a sadomasochistic love story like yours, it can't be too sadistic."

"Oh, then I'll figure it out myself."

"Take your time to think about it." Chen Qingrong said, and suddenly grabbed Tang Xiaoru's right foot and took off her slippers and socks.

Tang Xiaoru was stunned. "I'm typing, I don't need you to give me a foot massage."

"I asked you to give me a massage."

Chen Qingrong leaned back on the sofa and unbuckled his belt.

Tang Xiaoru, "..."

So this is what “massage” is.

"Are you a devil? I'm still typing!" Tang Xiaoru scolded him in embarrassment.

Chen Qingrong said indifferently, "It's okay. This will help you to improve your ability to do two things at once. I'm doing this for your own good. No need to thank me."

"Dirty!"

If Tang Xiaoru wasn't reluctant, she would have really wanted to just step on it and break it.

The next morning, Tang Xiaoru was awakened by the thunder outside. She opened her eyes and subconsciously looked to the right. Chen Qingrong was still sleeping soundly.

She carefully lifted the quilt and got out of bed, went to the window, opened it a little and looked out. Wow, it was pouring rain, there were thunder and lightning, and there was not a single soul on the road!

"There's no thunderstorm in the weather forecast."

Tang Xiaoru muttered something, quickly closed the window tightly, and got back into the quilt.

She was only wearing underwear. Although it was already June, the sudden drop in temperature and heavy rain still made her body feel cold.

I hurriedly pulled back the quilt and crawled in, only then did I feel much more comfortable.

"Um……"

Chen Qingrong mumbled in his sleep and slowly opened his eyes, "Morning, sweetheart~"

"Morning, there's a thunderstorm outside." Tang Xiaoru reached out and pinched the flesh on Chen Qingrong's belly.

She suddenly realized that it was actually good for Chen Qingrong to have some fat on his belly.

Although the abdominal muscles are hard, they feel a bit uncomfortable to touch, but the fat is different, it feels great.

Sure enough, the pork belly with alternating fat and lean parts is the most delicious.

"Ah? It's raining? Or is it a thunderstorm?" Chen Qingrong quickly sat up, "Thank you for the generous gift, but how do we get to the company?"

Tang Xiaoru chuckled and said, "I really underestimated you, Chen Qingrong. It's raining so hard, but your first reaction is to think about how to get to the company. But you seem to be confused. Today is Saturday."

"It's Saturday again?" Chen Qingrong quickly took out his phone and looked at it, feeling a little emotional. "It's really Saturday. How come time flies so fast now? A week has passed in a flash, and I don't feel any changes at all."

"I'm approaching my thirties. That's really scary."

Tang Xiaoru's face was filled with black lines. "I don't want to hear the term 'turning 30'. Hey, stop saying it!"

"Okay, okay, I won't tell you." Chen Qingrong hugged her again and continued, "It's great. I didn't drink Chinese medicine last night. I feel so comfortable."

Tang Xiaoru snorted twice, "That was a special situation, but you won't be comfortable for long. We will go home after the rain stops. By then, I will make up for what you lack."

"Tang Xiaoru, do we have a grudge against each other?"

"Don't you know? To love someone is actually to hate that person. Love and hate are intertwined." Tang Xiaoru smiled and pinched Chen Qingrong's face with her hand.

"Then let us do it ruthlessly."

"what?"

Bang, bang, bang.

Chen Qingrong’s “hatred” was so strong that after the hatred disappeared, Tang Xiaoru’s legs were shaking a little when she got out of bed.

"You pervert!" Tang Xiaoru cursed, "You made me waste another pair of underwear. Humph, you can throw my underwear into the trash can later. We have to throw it away when we leave."

"Ahhh, my underwear is very expensive, okay? Now I see that you are frugal in places where you shouldn't be frugal, and you don't know how to be frugal when you should be frugal!"

The more she talked, the more frantic she became.

Since being with Chen Qingrong, she had been wearing out her underwear faster than in the previous twenty-eight years of her life.

The underwear is fine, but the panties are consumed too quickly.

Chen Qingrong scratched his head awkwardly, "Well, you can't blame me for this. Don't be angry. I'll buy you new ones when the time comes. I'll buy you brand-name ones. What do you think of CK underwear?"

"Hmph, not so good!"

After putting on their clothes, the couple opened the door and went out.

One good thing about their parents is that they are not like other parents who always call their children out to eat or open the door and enter their children's room without their consent.

Whether it was Tang Chengshan and his wife, or Lao Chen and his wife, it was up to them to decide how long Chen Qingrong and his wife slept together.

If you're hungry anyway, you'll naturally get up and eat, so why bother shouting?

"Hey, Master and Miss, get up. The sun is shining on your buttocks."

Seeing them coming downstairs, Lin Yue, who was sitting downstairs watching TV, teased with a smile.

Tang Xiaoru was speechless, "Mom, you are talking nonsense again. It is raining heavily outside, where is the sun?"

"Why is there no sun? Go out and look to the north. Don't you hear a song praising the sun?"

"What song of praise to the sun?"

"You came from Dandong in exchange for my white clothes and want to eat Cantonese food~" Lin Yue snorted.

Tang Xiaoru, "..."

Chen Qingrong, "..."

OK OK.

This is a lame joke, isn't it?
"Mom, why are you home alone?" Chen Qingrong asked at this time.

Lin Yue smiled and said, "Your parents went to the hospital with Old Tang. As for your grandmother, she went back with Xiaoru's grandparents. The old people had so much to talk about. I heard them sitting downstairs chatting at around four in the morning."

Chen Qingrong was a little nervous, "Why are my parents in the hospital? Are they feeling unwell?"

Lin Yue shook her head. "No, it's just that your dad's waist hurts a little, so Old Tang took him to see an orthopedic doctor. Your dad said it was an old problem and didn't need treatment. Old Tang was a little worried, so he took them there."

"It wasn't raining when they left in the morning. It's a good thing they left early, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to leave."

Chen Qingrong breathed a sigh of relief. "My dad's back pain is indeed an old problem. It seems to have existed since I can remember."

"Yes." Lin Yue asked again, "Are you two hungry? Do you want to eat something?"

Tang Xiaoru came over and hugged her mother's arm and acted coquettishly, "I want to eat the cola chicken wings that I didn't finish last night. Mom, please heat them up for us."

"There's no need for our mom to do this kind of thing. I'll go."

Chen Qingrong rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen.

"Look how sensible Xiao Chen is. When she heard what you wanted to eat, she immediately went to the kitchen. You can't always let Xiao Chen go to the kitchen. You have to take care of Xiao Chen, too, understand? If you don't feel sorry for your own man, then you can only make other women feel sorry for you."

Lin Yue educates her daughter.

Tang Xiaoru was very confident, "Where did this woman from outside come from? I have great confidence in Chen Qingrong. It is impossible for another woman to snatch him away from me."

Lin Yue just looked at her deeply and said nothing.

After having lunch at home at noon, the rain had stopped a lot, so Chen Qingrong and his friends prepared to return to their own home.

An interesting thing is that Wang Xiu'e came back by herself at noon, and Tang Chengshan took Lao Chen to the foot massage parlor for a foot massage.

Chen Qingrong was shocked when he heard the news. "My dad would actually go to a foot massage parlor? I never expected that."

Wang Xiu'e smiled and said, "I didn't expect that. In fact, Old Tang asked me to go, but I was too embarrassed to let the technician massage my feet, so I didn't go."

Lin Yue interjected, "Sister Xiu'e, places like foot massage parlors are not suitable for us women to relax. Wait until it stops raining tonight, and I'll take you to the beauty salon I often go to to wash your hair and face."

“Do I need to go to a beauty salon to wash my hair and face? Can’t I just do it at home?” Wang Xiu’e didn’t quite understand.

Lin Yue smiled and said, "The feeling of washing at home is different from that of washing at a beauty salon. You will know it when you go with me to experience it once."

After Chen Qingrong and his friend returned to their home, Tang Xiaoru began to boil Chinese medicine for Chen Qingrong without stopping.

Chen Qingrong sometimes felt that Tang Xiaoru boiled Chinese medicine for him not only to make him better, but more because she was addicted to it...

There was so much smoke, but she was not afraid of it at all. Moreover, every time she was boiling the medicine, she would stare at the changes in the Chinese medicine in the jars with shining eyes. She looked like a poor girl who was playing with a Barbie doll worth thousands of dollars for the first time.

Just, very excited.

"Please don't travel through time, my wife." Chen Qingrong suddenly said.

Tang Xiaoru was stunned and looked up at him, "Travel through time? Travel through what?"

Chen Qingrong pouted, "You look no different from an alchemist right now. If you traveled to the immortal cultivation world and became an alchemist, would you still look down on me?"

Tang Xiaoru sighed, "Don't worry, even if I really travel through time, I will take you with me. I need to make an elixir, so I have to find a guinea pig, right? Otherwise, how can I know if the elixir I make is effective?"

"So my value to you is just a guinea pig?"

"Otherwise?"

"..."

Chen Qingrong went into the study room to write in grief and anger.

He also took out his mobile phone and checked Bilibili, and unknowingly found that his comic had been updated to the fifth chapter.

Frankly speaking, he hasn't even followed the comics adapted from his own novels.

After all, he wrote the plot, and he really couldn't figure out what was so good about him.

However, he looked through the comment section and found that the number of comments had increased to more than a hundred.

Where there are praises, there will naturally be criticisms.

Those who praise the comics basically praise the good art style and sweet plot.

As for the criticisms, they were criticizing Sun Cheng's character and the fact that the male lead was too incompetent.

Especially this one, "This male protagonist is such a loser. He didn't even react when the female protagonist bullied him in the workplace? Let's just say, has the author ever worked? If a normal person encounters a leader like this, it would be good enough if he doesn't curse her ancestors in his heart. How could he still fall in love with her? It's too unrealistic."

Chen Qingrong couldn't stand it anymore and replied directly, "You said the author has never worked. I think it's because you have never been in a relationship and you are out of touch with reality. If it is exactly the same as reality, why would the author write novels? I think I can see that single people like you just don't have anyone to love, so you are jealous, right?"

After refreshing, the person actually replied to him again, "It's so funny, I'm a single dog? My car costs more than 600,000 yuan, would I be short of women? I just can't stand the author's plot. Is there a problem? You are still defending it, tut tut."

Chen Qingrong clicked on his homepage and took a look, then replied again, "A man who owns a car worth over 600,000 yuan can't even afford a premium membership? A man who owns a car worth over 600,000 yuan reposts a message every day to win a mobile phone in a lottery? Win, win, win, right? You're even posting a comment about the lottery here, how dare you live like that?"

He refreshed the page again, and this time the person didn't reply to him.

Chen Qingrong clicked on his homepage again and found that he had been blocked.

"You're useless. You just block people when you can't win in a duel. Is there no one in the entire Internet who can fight?" Chen Qingrong was full of disdain.

At this time, Officer Yao called him, "Xiao Chen, do you still remember Liu Qianqian who killed her husband? She wants to see you, do you want to come over?"

"She wants to see me?" Chen Qingrong was speechless. "What's there for her and I to see? I'm very busy. Let's not meet."

"Okay, then I'll tell her that you don't want to see her. She didn't say why she wanted to see you, she just wanted to see you by name. It's not illegal for you not to come and see her, so don't take it to heart."

"Oh, by the way, Officer Yao, when will her case go to trial? Will she be convicted of intentional homicide?"

"The homicide procedure is much more complicated than the ordinary one. It will probably take more than half a year. I don't know whether it can be convicted of intentional homicide. We have submitted all the evidence that should be submitted. I think she should be convicted of intentional homicide. After all, dumping the body is really not related to murder in the heat of the moment."

"Ok."

Chen Qingrong didn't ask anything else. He chatted for a few more words and then hung up the phone.

Officer Yao did not ask about his brother-in-law. He probably thought that his brother-in-law had already told him everything that happened, so there was no need for him to ask more.

Chen Qingrong and the others are smart people, and Officer Yao is naturally not a fool either.

While typing, Tang Xiaoru pushed the door open and said, "Honey, are you done typing? If you are, you can take the medicine now."

Chen Qingrong laughed dryly, "Not yet, not yet, wait a little longer."

Tang Xiaoru smiled kindly, "It's okay if it's not ready yet. You can drink while cooking. I'll bring it to you right away."

"Hey……"

Chen Qingrong wanted to dissuade her, but it was too late.

Tang Xiaoru came back soon, this time with a bowl of soup in her hand, and placed the Chinese medicine with a strong and bad smell on the computer desk in front of Chen Qingrong.

"Okay, drink it." Tang Xiaoru urged, "Drink it quickly, otherwise it will be even more bitter when it gets cold."

Chen Qingrong made up an excuse, "Wife, you can see that I am concentrating on typing now. It is not suitable for me to drink Chinese medicine at this time. It will affect my clear mind. Otherwise, I will drink it after it cools down a bit."

"No, it's best if you drink it now."

"Forehead."

"Listen to me, didn't you say that after drinking this stuff, you'd feel like you were going straight to the top of your head? It's just right for you to use it to stimulate your brain, so that you can be more inspired to write. Be good, drink it."

"..."

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Chen Qingrong could only obediently pick up the medicine and drink it.

He also asked, "Are we going back to my parents' house for dinner tonight?"

Tang Xiaoru shook her head. "No, let's go tomorrow. Your parents aren't leaving today anyway, so let's take them to the Magic City to have a look around. Although this isn't their first time in the Magic City, it seems like they haven't had much fun there, right?"

"Yes." Chen Qingrong said, "I remember when we got engaged last year, my parents came to Shanghai, and your parents took them around Shanghai."

"Oh, I forgot about that." Tang Xiaoru smiled and sat on his lap, and then said, "But frankly speaking, there is really nothing fun in a big city like Shanghai. If you really want to have fun, you have to go to those ancient cities. Those places have flavor."

"By the way, are there any ancient cities in our country that we haven't visited yet?"

"We've already been to Fenghuang Ancient Town and Dali Ancient Town. What other ancient towns do we need to visit? Ancient towns all over the country are actually pretty much the same. There's no need to visit every one of them, right?"

"Go out and have fun. Isn't that the point of making money?" Tang Xiaoru shrugged and said with some pride, "You know, when Bingbing was chatting with me the other day, she said she envied me for being able to run around. She has a big belly, so even if she could run, she wouldn't have the energy to do so."

"As for me, I will get pregnant again sooner or later, so I want to visit all the fun places I haven't been to before I get pregnant again. Otherwise, I will have to spend ten months pregnant, have confinement after giving birth, and then recover after delivery, which may waste two years of my life. Time is too precious."

Chen Qingrong hugged her waist and said, "No problem, I'll listen to you. Wherever you want to go, I'll go with you. Anyway, you make the decision. I'll just wait for your order."

"If you want to be lazy, just say so."

Tang Xiaoru pinched his face.

She now likes to pinch Chen Qingrong's face.

After all, Chen Qingrong didn't have much flesh on her face, but she just liked to pinch it. It felt very comfortable.

It's gone after 5pm.

Wang Xiu'e and Lin Yue came to the young couple's home. They bought several pieces of clothes for them while shopping and sent them specially to them.

"Mom, did you buy this dress today?" Chen Qingrong asked his mother.

His mother was wearing a goose yellow tweed coat, which made her look like a noble lady.

Although Wang Xiu'e was born and raised in the countryside, she has a very good temperament and her skin is not very dark, so she can easily control even this kind of skin-selective clothes.

Wang Xiu'e smiled and took Lin Yue's arm. "Yueyue gave it to me. She also chose it for me. It cost eight or nine hundred yuan. It's very expensive. How is it? It doesn't look bad, does it?"

"It's not ugly, it's very beautiful and suits you very well." Chen Qingrong did not hesitate to praise her.

Tang Xiaoru also said, "It really suits you, Mom. But why did you buy so many clothes for me and Chen Qingrong? Our closets are already full of clothes and we really can't put them in anymore."

She looked distressed.

Lin Yue said meaningfully, "This is the heart of parents. No matter how old their children are, they are always children in their parents' eyes. When buying clothes for their children, they will never think it's too much or too wasteful. Sister Xiu'e, am I right?"

"Yes, yes, I think so too, Xiaoru. If you have too many clothes, just put them in another closet. The main reason is that these clothes are so beautiful. No matter how we look at them, they suit you very well. We really can't resist the desire to buy them."

"Ok."

Tang Xiaoru was also helpless.

Because Lin Yue still had to take Wang Xiu'e to the beauty salon for a facial, the two of them would not stay here for dinner tonight.

Before leaving, Wang Xiu'e told Chen Qingrong about the recent situation of her cousin Ruirui.

It turned out that Ruirui's cousin had divorced quietly, gave the child to the man's family, and went to Hangzhou to work.

"Why is it so sudden?" Chen Qingrong was very surprised. "Didn't they say that her and Guo Liang's life was getting better and better? They have a child now, so why did they suddenly get divorced?"

Wang Xiu'e sighed, "Alas, I think the main reason is that Ruirui is too young. A girl of this age has not made up her mind at all. She insisted on marrying Guo Liang at the beginning, and now she insists on divorcing Guo Liang. Ruirui's parents don't care about her anymore, so they let her do whatever she wants."

"I heard from Ruirui's parents that they also suddenly received a WeChat notification from Ruirui saying that she and Guo Liang had divorced. This matter caused a lot of trouble, ah."

Chen Qingrong didn't know what to say.

After the two old mothers left, Chen Qingrong felt a little sleepy, so he said hello to Tang Xiaoru and went to bed.

Tang Xiaoru originally wanted to ask him to go out for dinner, but after seeing how tired Chen Qingrong looked, she couldn't bear to disturb him from sleeping.

After Chen Qingrong fell asleep, Tang Xiaoru drove out to Ni Shengnan's milk tea shop.

It was Ni Shengnan who asked her to come over.

"Shengnan, I'm busy. Business in the store is pretty good."

Tang Xiaoru tightened her coat, smiled and greeted everyone as she walked into the milk tea shop.

"Sister Xiaoru, you are here. Please sit down first. I will make you a cup of hot milk tea so that you can drink it to warm up. It is too windy tonight and quite cold."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, you're welcome."

Ni Shengnan personally made a cup of milk tea and brought it to Tang Xiaoru, then handed the customer over to the clerk and sat down to chat with Tang Xiaoru.

Tang Xiaoru said, "In fact, you have enough staff in your store now, so you don't have to come to the store every day. After all, you are a boss."

"I'm used to being busy. I can't stay idle at all." Ni Shengnan smiled. "Sister Xiaoru, you are the president of such a big company, but don't you still go to the company to punch in every day? By the way, didn't Brother Chen say anything when you came out?"

Tang Xiaoru drank a sip of milk tea and shook her head. "Chen Qingrong is too sleepy and is sleeping at home. I was bored at home anyway, and you just called me, so I came out for a walk. It's already past seven o'clock, do you want to have dinner together later?"

"Sister Xiaoru, I don't have time to go out to eat with you. This is the busiest time for our store, and I really can't go anywhere."

"Well, I'll just find a place to eat later. By the way, what on earth do you want me to come over for?"

"It's like this, Xiaoru." Ni Shengnan hesitated for a moment before continuing, "I want to ask if you have those non-mainstream photos of me, when I had short hair and was very T-shirted. I remember I sent them to you."

When he said this, Ni Shengnan's face turned red and hot.

At that time, she hadn't come to her senses yet, and in order to show her kindness to Tang Xiaoru, she sent her some photos of herself that she thought were very handsome and sexy. Thinking about it now, it was really shameful.

Tang Xiaoru was stunned. "Is this true? When did it happen?"

"About a year or two ago?"

"Then I don't have any." Tang Xiaoru smiled helplessly, "I change phones quickly, and I don't have the habit of saving photos in the cloud disk, so I really don't have the photos you mentioned."

Ni Shengnan's expression was complicated and a little awkward. "No? That's good too. At least you won't see me embarrassed like that again. It can be considered as helping me clear my black history."

Tang Xiaoru was a little puzzled, "Why do you suddenly want to find those photos? Don't you have them in your own phone?"

Ni Shengnan said awkwardly, "I deleted all the photos in my phone because they were too embarrassing. As for why I wanted to ask you for them, it was to deal with the blind date my parents introduced to me."

"You don't know, my parents have already started introducing blind dates to me. They said they wouldn't force me to date other boys right now, but they just hope that I won't always live in the past, and can move on and get in touch with other boys. But I can still tell from their tone that they are very anxious."

"And you don't want to, right?"

"Yes." Ni Shengnan was a little lost. "Since the day Cheng Cheng passed away, my soul has gone with him. Now only my body is left in this world. If I really date other boys in this state, wouldn't that be a disaster for them?"

"That's the problem. I can't always go against my parents, especially my mom. She cries whenever she wants. So I thought about finding those photos. If a boy pushes me again, I will show him the photos and make him think I'm not a serious person and automatically back out."

Tang Xiaoru said with a smile, "Aren't you afraid that some boys will like you just like you did back then?"

"Uh." Ni Shengnan was stunned for a moment. "There shouldn't be a boy with such a strong taste, right? My photos at that time were terrible, almost exactly like the boy's. Unless it was Nantong, it's possible that he was interested in me at that time."

At this point, she shook her head and smiled, "Forget it, if there's no chance, then there's no chance. I'll think of a way myself. Anyway, I won't be in a relationship again. Even if my mother says I'm selfish and unfilial, I'll accept it."

"Look at it more positively." Tang Xiaoru patted Ni Shengnan's hand, "Life goes on, you still have a long, long time to live."

Her words were actually a disguised way of persuading Ni Shengnan to find someone new.

Ni Shengnan shook his head. "Living longer is not a good thing for me. Sometimes I envy Cheng Cheng. Although he is dead, he no longer has to suffer. It is those of us who are still alive who are suffering."

"When I went out with Cheng Cheng's photo, I climbed Wugong Mountain at night. When I reached the top of the mountain and watched the sunrise, I was healed all of a sudden. I seemed to understand why he wrote Wugong Mountain on his list. But that time also made me miss him even more."

Tang Xiaoru suddenly asked, "Is it dangerous to climb Wugong Mountain at night?"

Ni Shengnan shook her head again. "No, there are many people climbing Wugong Mountain at night. It's just a little hard, especially when you reach the Hero's Slope. You look up at the endless steps and feel desperate. But after you climb up, you feel a sense of satisfaction that you have conquered it. Sister Xiaoru, I recommend that you climb it when you have time."

"is it?"

Tang Xiaoru narrowed her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.

After leaving Ni Shengnan's milk tea shop, Tang Xiaoru went to find a restaurant and had some roast duck. At this time, Chen Qingrong also called her and asked her where she was.

After Tang Xiaoru hung up the phone, she took a picture of the roast duck in front of her and showed it to him.

Tang Xiaoru: "Smile, smile."

Chen Qingrong, "Smile, smile, you are so good, Tang Xiaoru, you left your beloved husband at home and ran out to eat roast duck by yourself? Fuck you bitch!"

Tang Xiaoru, "Smile, I'll pack one for you."

The other party withdraws a message.

Chen Qingrong, "Kiss, kiss, thank you, my wife, you are so nice, I love you so much."

Tang Xiaoru, "Smile, smile."

Xiaoru baby still kept her word and really packed a roast duck rice for Chen Qingrong to take home.

When she got home, she found that Chen Qingrong had become full of energy after a good sleep.

He even said something outrageous like this, "Do you want to try eating roast duck and talking to Ai Chao?"

Tang Xiaoru, "..."

"My motherboard is burnt out. Is that something a human can say?" Tang Xiaoru glared at him in shame and anger, then reached out and touched his forehead. "Are you possessed by an alien? Give me back my normal husband!"

"Go away, stop making fun of me." Chen Qingrong took her hand away, then sat down and started eating. "But to be honest, honey, I'm really starving."

"Eat more if you're starving." Tang Xiaoru sat opposite him and watched him eat. She rested her elbows on the table, supported her chin with her palms, crossed her legs under the table, kicked off her slippers, and placed her little feet directly on Chen Qingrong's legs.

Chen Qingrong looked down at her pink and tender toes and asked her, "What do you mean? Do you want me to eat a bite of roast duck and a bite of toes? Well, although it's a bit mixed, it feels like it should taste good."

"Go away." Tang Xiaoru shyly retracted her feet and asked him, "Hubby, shall we go climb Wugong Mountain?"

Chen Qingrong was stunned. "If I remember correctly, when we were in the Chenzhu Design Department, Qi Long, the guy with dermatitis, made this suggestion during our team building, right? You rejected it at that time. Why, have you changed your mind now?"

Tang Xiaoru said, "You have a really good memory. You still remember such an ancient thing. I heard Shengnan say it today. She said that when she climbed to the top of the mountain and saw the sunrise, she felt like she was healed. It made me excited, so I want to try it with you."

Chen Qingrong hesitated, "Is Wugong Mountain higher than Jade Dragon Snow Mountain? I remember when we went to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, we took the cable car, right?"

"Yes, there is a cable car in Wugong Mountain, but it is only open during the day. I searched on Baidu and found that taking the cable car can only save us two or four hours of physical strength. The rest of the time we still need to climb by ourselves."

"Two hours is still hours. Don't treat rotten eggs as seafood!"

"It's so boring to take the cable car." Tang Xiaoru pouted, "Let's go climb Wugong Mountain at night. We can take the cable car when we come down the next day. This way we can save some energy. Do you dare?"

Chen Qingrong was speechless. "I have nothing to fear. I just want to ask if you have considered it carefully. There is no cable car at night. Once we start climbing up, there will be no turning back. Don't let yourself get too tired halfway through. What should we do then?"

"Climb slower." Tang Xiaoru smiled. "If you don't mind, we'll go to Jiangxi tomorrow afternoon and arrange our time so that we can arrive at the foot of Wugong Mountain around 7pm. We'll be prepared to climb all night and watch the sunrise the next day."

"You said Wugong Mountain is such a beautiful place, why is it in a place like Jiangxi?"

"What's wrong with Jiangxi? It's a revolutionary holy land."

However, Tang Xiaoru has a strong execution ability and does things as soon as she says they will.

That night she bought the high-speed rail ticket to Wugong Mountain the next day. In order for Chen Qingrong to be able to climb the mountain better the next night, she deliberately did not let Chen Qingrong hand in his homework tonight, to prevent his legs from shaking when climbing the mountain the next night. That would be embarrassing.

The next morning, they took their parents from both sides to have some fun in Shanghai. As for Chen Qingrong's grandmother, she watched TV at home with Tang Xiaoru's grandparents.

When they learned that the young couple was going to climb Wugong Mountain at night, both sets of parents were very surprised.

"You two really want to climb at night? You are so brave." Tang Chengshan gave a thumbs up, "It's still good to be young. If it were me, I wouldn't climb even if you gave me 100 million."

Lao Chen suddenly said, "That's because you already have 100 million, so you definitely don't think highly of me."

"Hahaha." Tang Chengshan burst into laughter.

Wang Xiu'e was a little worried. "Isn't it too dangerous to climb the mountain at night? Are there any lights in the mountain?"

Tang Xiaoru smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mom. There are many people who climb Wugong Mountain at night. The safety measures in the scenic area are also very good. Besides, it is a scenic area, not like Mount Everest, where Chen Qingrong and I need to climb all the way to the top. The risk factor is not that high."

"That's okay, that's okay."

Lin Yue added, "If you two are going out to watch the sunrise, remember to bring some thick clothes. It will be very cold on the top of the mountain before sunrise. Don't catch a cold. Also, buy some food and drinks. Well, just think of it as an outing to the top of the mountain."

Tang Xiaoru patted her chest and assured, "Don't worry, Mom, I will arrange it. Leave it to me."

Afterwards, the two old mothers helped the young couple pick out a large hiking bag for them to put their things in, and bought a lot of snacks in the snack shop. Of course, Tang Chengshan paid for everything.

As long as he is around, he will never let his daughter and son-in-law spend money.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, the couple boarded the high-speed train and set off.

Because they couldn't buy second-class seats, they took first-class seats. Not long after they found their seats and sat down, the flight attendant brought them drinks and snacks.

"If business class tickets weren't so expensive, I would really like to try business class." Chen Qingrong said while eating plums comfortably.

Tang Xiaoru was a little surprised. "You've never taken a business class seat before? When you were in Chenzhu, you could get reimbursement for your business trips. Why don't you try it?"

Chen Qingrong gritted his teeth and said, "Because I'm such a loser. I care about money. Yes, I really care about the company's money. Now I think about it, I'm such a loser."

Tang Xiaoru burst out laughing, "You are indeed an idiot."
