Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

"Hey, Lao Gao, Lao Hao, do you guys remember that girl at the next table during lunch? Hey, her features, her figure, she was just amazing! Except for her slightly outdated hairstyle and clothes, she was perfect in every way!"

In the evening, Ximen Lang, who had spent the entire day partying with his friends Hao Pingchuan and Gao Cheng in Tianjin, having done almost everything fun, eaten everything delicious, and seen almost everything exciting, finally returned to his loyal guard battalion after being repeatedly persuaded by the two.

The girl from this afternoon left such a deep impression on Ximen Lang that even after they returned to the camp, Ximen Lang was still talking about it with Hao Pingchuan and Gao Cheng, their arms around each other's shoulders.

Hao Pingchuan, who always speaks his mind and is straightforward, naturally wouldn't hide anything from Ximen Lang.

Seeing that Ximen Lang was getting into the conversation, he immediately started discussing it with him.

"Yes, yes, yes, that's true. Her face and appearance are indeed delicate and refined. In the Tianjin area, she would definitely be considered top-tier. But her figure is really not that great, she's too slender and not strong at all."

These words struck a chord with Ximen Lang, instantly giving him a sense of shared understanding.

However, when he heard the second half...
Ximen Lang was immediately shocked.

"No way, this physique isn't even that great?! Not muscular at all. Old Hao, what kind of taste do you have?"

"Of course this is normal aesthetic sense! Look at her thin arms and legs, delicate skin and tender flesh, she's definitely not good at working."

This is clearly a difference in the times.

Because in Ximen Lang's view
"A wife is meant to be cherished! As long as she's pretty and down-to-earth, what more could you ask for? Besides, what kind of work could she possibly do? What, are you planning to make her work in the fields?"

But in Hao Pingchuan's eyes, sorry, whether someone is good-looking or not is at most a bonus.

Being good-looking is great, of course; not being good-looking is fine too. As long as you don't look like Pigsy's aunt and are really unpleasant to look at, it doesn't matter.

On the contrary, it's about whether they can do the work.
This is the most important!
Because not everyone has the same conditions as Ximen Lang!

"For ordinary families, besides having children, the main reason for marrying a wife is to have her help the head of the household shoulder the responsibilities of the family. If you don't believe me, go and ask around. Which family doesn't want to marry a hardworking, capable, and healthy woman? Isn't that much better than marrying a skinny woman who can't lift a finger?"

"Besides, let's talk about working in the fields. In the village, which wife doesn't work in the fields? Let alone working in the fields, sometimes you still have to carry the harvested grain! Even in the city, you still have to work! Who would be willing to take a break?"

Of course, there is another important reason that must be mentioned.
"Tall, strong, and healthy people are indeed more fertile. This is a truth summarized by our ancestors, and you have to admit it!"

Goodness, it's a classic case of each side having their own version of the truth.

The key point is that both of them made a lot of sense.

Naturally, neither of them could convince the other, and they started arguing over this trivial matter.

Seeing the two arguing fiercely, Gao Cheng, who was standing nearby, was about to join in and express his own opinion.

Upon seeing that Ximen Lang had returned to the camp, Bai Ling immediately came over and listened to everything in detail. The more she listened, the darker her face became, until it was as black as the bottom of a pot.
Gao Cheng immediately took a step back, shielding Ximen Lang, who was arguing wildly, and Hao Pingchuan in front of him.

Coincidentally, and for some reason, their argument swung back to the girl from before, and they started talking at length about her two long, straight legs.
That's just asking for trouble!
You can't blame anyone else!
Gao Cheng, who had sentenced the two to death in an instant, immediately feigned innocence, distancing himself from Ximen Lang and Hao Pingchuan.

Then, sure enough, Gao Cheng had only been in this position for a short time.

Bai Ling, who grew angrier the more she listened, finally couldn't hold back any longer.

He exuded a chilling aura and stood behind Ximen Lang like a ghost.

Picking up where Ximen Lang was going on about praising the girl's long legs, he asked in a sinister tone.

"Is that girl really as good as you say? Are her legs really that long?" "Are you kidding? My eyes are my only judge! If she weren't that good, would we guys still be arguing about this? Let me tell you, with looks and figure like that, she could form a group and debut right away."

It's also a habit to put your arm around your buddy's shoulder when you talk; it feels more appropriate that way.

Ignoring Hao Pingchuan's trembling, cowardly body, Ximen Lang casually draped his arm over Bai Ling's shoulder.

Then, belatedly realizing something was wrong, Ximen Lang finally noticed.

But it was already too late. Helpless, Ximen Lang could only try his best to find a way back.

"That girl is good in every way, but unfortunately, she only has a mouth. Just because she has a mouth, all those good qualities are wasted."

After he finished speaking, Bai Ling's face showed curiosity, just as expected.

Seizing the opportunity, Ximen Lang quickly kicked Hao Pingchuan, who was still pretending to be dead.

Together with Hao Pingchuan, they explained things to Bai Ling, one after the other.

Simply put, during lunch, I noticed that the girl at the next table was indeed very beautiful, even somewhat out of step with the modern aesthetic.

How to describe it?
She has a completely natural internet celebrity face!

So, Ximen Lang took a few more glances.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that something was wrong.

That girl immediately launched into a tirade of abuse!

They're using the purest Tianjin dialect!

Goodness, just like a stand-up comedian, they never repeat the same insults when they're insulting someone.

So, in just a moment, Ximen Lang, startled, immediately remembered this girl.

Whenever I think of that face, I can't help but hear her Tianjin dialect, which is the same as Guankou's.

"The taste is indescribable."

Bai Ling was amused by what she heard.

Ximen Lang also made a timely guarantee.

"So, Ling'er, you can rest assured, I definitely have no ulterior motives towards that girl! But casting her as a lead actress or something, to contribute to the upcoming cultural endeavor, is something we can discuss. Of course, the prerequisite is finding her a voice actress! Otherwise, her Tianjin accent alone will scare people away!"

Bai Ling was so happy she couldn't stop laughing, and naturally she lost all interest in arguing with Ximen Lang about it.

Perfect timing! Everything that needs to be prepared is almost done here, and we can break camp at any time.

Bai Ling immediately discussed it with Ximen Lang.

"We can talk about the female lead issue later. As for us, we've stayed in Tianjin for far too long; it's time to set off again." (End of Chapter)
