This director is so innocent.

At the request of some friends, I wrote a follow-up to the blind date story.

……

Inside the living room, Mom and Jiang Siyan were exchanging compliments.

You know what, Jiang Siyan looks pretty cool, like someone who's not good with words, but I didn't expect her to be such a good conversationalist!

I kept praising my mom so much that the wrinkles around her eyes never stopped appearing. I'm afraid she'll look a year or two older after this conversation.

The two were chatting so enthusiastically that I couldn't get a word in edgewise. I could only sit on the sidelines, munching on sunflower seeds and acting as a bystander.

My mom glanced to the side, a hint of surprise in her eyes, as if to say, "Why is there another person here?"

"You young people chat, I'm going to get busy." Mom stood up, preparing to cook: "Xiao Jiang, stay for dinner tonight and try Auntie's cooking."

"No need, Auntie." Jiang Siyan stood up and waved her hand repeatedly, "It's getting late, I should go back."

"No need for anything, just listen to your aunt, finish your meal before going back." Seeing that Jiang Siyan was about to leave, her mother quickly grabbed her arm.

"Really, it's not necessary, Auntie." Jiang Siyan smiled wryly.

"Xiao Jiang, are you complaining about Auntie's cooking?" Mom pretended to be angry, then turned to the onlookers and said, "Eat, eat, all you do is eat, don't you even try to stop Xiao Jiang?"

"I……"

I was just enjoying being a bystander, wanting to see my mom and Jiang Siyan's intense tug-of-war, but I never expected the battle to spill over onto me.

"Jiang Siyan, if you're free tonight, why don't you stay for dinner?" Although I had embarrassed myself in front of Jiang Siyan before, I could only agree when my mother asked.

"Auntie, it's not that I don't want to stay for dinner, it's just that my third uncle is celebrating his 50th birthday tonight and I have to rush back. I'm really sorry." Jiang Siyan glanced at me and blinked. "Auntie, I'll visit you another day."

"Oh, I see!" After hearing the explanation, Mom stopped pestering me: "Then you must come another day! I'll save the pork leg for you, and I'll make you a whole braised pork trotter then."

"Okay, thank you, Auntie." Jiang Siyan smiled and waved. "Then, Auntie, I'll head back now."

"Okay, be careful riding your bike on the road." My mom looked at me and said, "Aren't you going to see Xiao Jiang off? You have no sense at all."

Looking at the two who are as close as mother and son, a saying comes to mind: A mother-in-law likes her son-in-law more and more the more she looks at him.

I felt like I'd been picked up off the street, and a strange pang of sadness welled up inside me.

……

As the two walked down the alley, Jiang Siyan suddenly blurted out something.

"What, you don't want me to stay for dinner?"

"Ah..." I was completely stunned and blurted out, "No...no, don't think such things."

"Daydreaming? Just like you, daydreaming?" Jiang Siyan's lips curled up slightly as she teased.

When I heard that, my face instantly flushed red; I was so embarrassed.

Damn it, I used to think this person was a gentleman with a good character and a broad mind, someone who wouldn't expose others' secrets. Turns out it was all my mistake.

Jiang Siyan looked at me, who was looking down with a flushed face, and laughed, finding it quite amusing.

Seeing Jiang Siyan laughing loudly in front of me, I was suddenly filled with malice. I stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Siyan by the neck, making her unable to straighten up.

"Don't you dare tease me about this again." I pinched Jiang Siyan's face, looked at him, and said fiercely, word by word.

I thought Jiang Siyan would beg for mercy, just like those boyfriends and girlfriends joke around, but I didn't expect him to do things completely unpredictably.

Jiang Siyan yanked her hand away, breaking free from my grasp. Then she locked my neck with her hand, pinched my face, and said with a smile, "Miss Yan, so you're saying we still have a future?"

Damn, that's the vibe of a domineering CEO.

Jiang Siyan, that bastard, where did he get those domineering CEO lines from? He must have watched too many domineering CEO dramas.

"Let me go first."

"Answer my question first."

"Let me go first."

"Answer my question first."

……

"Yes, yes, yes." After three or four rounds, Jiang Siyan still wouldn't let go, so I could only beg for mercy. Once he let go, I'll teach him a lesson.

This time I must lock his neck with both hands and make him unable to move. I was careless before and didn't dodge.

Upon hearing my answer, Jiang Siyan released her grip. I immediately jumped up, locked Jiang Siyan's neck, and burst into laughter at her bewildered expression.

"Jiang Siyan, you're quite the player!"

I glanced at Jiang Siyan under my arm and chuckled, "Miss Huan Yan, you've been watching too many domineering CEO dramas!"

Before I could utter another few harsh words, Jiang Siyan once again acted unpredictably.

He lowered his body, grabbed my calves with both hands, and lifted me up. This time, I was completely dumbfounded.

"Jiang Siyan, put me down quickly!" I shouted, patting Jiang Siyan's back.

"Stop fooling around, we're almost there."

Almost there? There are quite a few people on the basketball court; I'll embarrass myself terribly.

"Jiang Siyan, put me down quickly."

……

"Jiang Siyan, I was wrong, I was wrong."

Jiang Siyan remained unmoved and continued carrying me forward.

Looks like I have no choice but to use my ultimate move. I pinched my throat and said gently, "Brother, I was wrong."

Hearing my words, Jiang Siyan paused for a moment, then put me down and patted my head: "Say it again."

"Jiang Siyan, you bastard, don't let me see you again, or I'll beat you so badly you can't take care of yourself."

After making those harsh remarks, I turned around and ran straight home.

As he turned around, he noticed a hint of surprise in Jiang Siyan's eyes, as if she were thinking, "How can there be such an extraordinary woman in the world?"

When I got to my doorstep, I looked back and saw Jiang Siyan still standing there, smiling and waving at me before turning and walking toward the basketball court.

A dozen minutes later, I received a WeChat message from Jiang Siyan with only three words: "I'm home."

I typed back, "Mhm."

……

There are few stars at night.

Outside the window, all was quiet; inside, sounds lingered.

"Hit him! Hit him now!"

"I'm dying, save me, save me."

"Hehe... I'm running away."

I leaned against the headboard, staring intently at my phone screen, frantically tapping away, my body sometimes leaning to one side.

"Wow...wow..."

My eyes widened, my red lips parted slightly, and I kept exclaiming in amazement.

The phone receiver kept ringing with kill notifications, until finally, the cry of "PentaKill" echoed throughout Summoner's Rift.

"Jiang Siyan, you're amazing!"

"Didn't you say you weren't very good at it? How come you're so good?"

"Start, let's start the next round quickly."

Flattery poured in like it was free, making Jiang Siyan smile broadly, revealing eight teeth.

This happened after I chatted with Jiang Siyan. Perhaps Jiang Siyan felt there wasn't much to talk about, so she asked me if I knew how to play King of Glory.

I can play King of Glory a little, but I'm really bad at it. But the worse I am, the more I love to play. To put it bluntly, I'm bad at the game but addicted to it.

Since Jiang Siyan asked me, I naturally fulfilled his request.

This is the fifth game already, and the key point is that in the fifth game of the winning streak, Jiang Siyan won the MVP award four times.

As for why he's so skilled and can still play ranked games with me, it's because he hasn't played in a long time. To be precise, he hasn't played for two seasons, and his rank is even lower than mine, Platinum IV.

"It's late, let's play another day!" Jiang Siyan said.

"No! It's only 11:30, let's play one more round," I pleaded with Jiang Siyan.

"No, go to sleep." Jiang Siyan refused my plea, her tone particularly cold.

It seems we have no choice but to unleash our ultimate weapon.

Jiang Siyan, you just wait and see.

"Brother, let's play one more round." I used the double-voiced tone again, which I learned in two months during my university years.

But it's really hard to listen to! It's so disgusting, I can't even stand listening to it myself.

But Jiang Siyan falls for this trick; she carried me to bed last night and gave in to me, just like this time.

It's said that no man can resist the hurdle of a girl calling him "brother" in a high-pitched voice.

"Okay, just one." Jiang Siyan was silent for a while before finally speaking, her voice tinged with helplessness.

Thirteen minutes later, a "victory" came through the phone, announcing the end of the game. I had a six-game winning streak and was just one step away from the Star Master rank. Jiang Siyan was the MVP again, and his hero was Jing.

He's really good at using mirrors!

Swish swish swish... and the opposing mage died.

Swish swish swish... The enemy ADC and jungler are dead.

Forgive my lack of vocabulary, I can't describe how amazing his mirror is, I can only say "swish swish swish".

Goodnight, brother.

"Good night."

……

"Cheers."

With the sound of firecrackers a year old, the spring breeze sent warmth to Tusu.

After Mom finished her prayer, the whole family raised their glasses and shouted "Cheers!"

Today is Lunar New Year's Eve, and the time is 11:34 AM.

We celebrate the New Year at noon, which means we have a big meal at noon. Jiang Siyan celebrates the New Year in the evening, which means they have a big meal in the evening.

There are also those who celebrate the New Year in the past. In the village next to mine, there is one. I heard from my elementary school classmate that she had to get up at six o'clock in the morning to eat.

Time flies. I chatted with Jiang Siyan for a while in the afternoon, and then my cousin dragged me to play mahjong.

An entire afternoon was wasted just like that.

……

7:30 p.m.

Thump thump thump...

clap clap clap...

More than a dozen fireworks shot straight into the sky, spraying out grains of "golden sand" that bloomed proudly in the air.

Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple—all colors are present, adorning the night sky with beauty and grace, and illuminating the earth as if it were daytime.

This belongs to someone else; we don't have it at home.

The reason I can't let them go is that my family believes in Jesus, and my mom won't allow it.

It was shown a few times when I was a child, but it stopped after that.

My mom is a very good believer. Unless something comes up, she always goes to church to pray on Sundays, and she loves to drag me to church for worship.

Once I joked with my mom, what if the family I marry is Buddhist?

My mom said, "If you believe, then believe! Jesus is kind and loving, he won't blame us."

"What are you doing?" Jiang Siyan sent a message.

"At my uncle's house, we're getting ready to play mahjong."

"Playing mahjong?" Jiang Siyan asked. Just as I was about to reply, she sent another message: "Let's chat!"

As I read the news, I couldn't help but think, "Jiang Siyan is quite direct! Calling someone out for a chat during the Chinese New Year."

I like this about him: he's brave, direct, and doesn't ramble on about trivial things.

"Then come here."

"Okay, wait a moment."

"Sis, I'm not playing anymore, I have something to do." After saying goodbye to my cousin, I went straight home.

In these ten minutes or so, I need to put on some light makeup and change into a nice outfit, because I'm still wearing my loungewear today. Loungewear is just so warm; it's practically an essential winter garment.

A dozen minutes later, I stood on the basketball court.

There were many people here at this time, men, women, young and old, chatting, walking their children, and playing around.

Jiang Siyan's car arrived shortly afterward. He opened the car door and stood aside to greet me.

Jiang Siyan was still wearing a black coat tonight, standing straight with one hand in her pocket, a smile on her face, quietly watching me.

Does he really like wearing overcoats? I've seen him three times, and all three times he was wearing an overcoat.

If I buy him a coat, will he like me more and treat me differently?

I look great tonight too.

She wore a black overcoat that reached her calves. Luckily, I'm 168cm tall, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to pull it off and would have looked like a lump of fat. She paired it with dark wide-leg jeans and her hair was styled in a bun. She looked clean and flawless.

I walked up to him and asked him where he was going.

Jiang Siyan said, "Let's go to the county town."

Half an hour later, they arrived in the county town, found a place to park, and then the two strolled along the bustling streets.

Jiang Siyan originally said she wanted to go see a movie, but I felt it would be too late by the time we finished. It's already past 8 p.m., and it will be past 10 p.m. by the time we finish. I thought we might as well go shopping instead.

Jiang Siyan had no objections. Perhaps with me by her side, she would be happy to do anything!

The two first went to a park that was packed with people.

This park has been renovated and now has a barbecue area, an amusement park, and a Ferris wheel.

Upon seeing the Ferris wheel, Jiang Siyan indeed suggested that they go and ride it.

That's so unoriginal!

It seems Jiang Siyan really isn't a player; perhaps he's never even been in a relationship. His idea of ​​dating consists of three things: watching movies, eating out, and riding the Ferris wheel.

We ordered a few large barbecue skewers in the park, made of willow branches, the kind that cost ten yuan for two skewers, and ate them with our mouths full of oil.

Jiang Siyan ate one, very politely, taking small bites, and keeping her mouth clean.

Seeing me eating with one in my left hand and one in my right, my mouth greasy, Jiang Siyan didn't show any disgust. Instead, she looked at me with a smile.

After I finished eating, Jiang Siyan handed me a tissue.

"Come on, I'll take you to buy clothes." I took the tissue, wiped my mouth, grabbed Jiang Siyan's wrist, turned around and left, very domineeringly.

"Buy...buy clothes?" Jiang Siyan was dumbfounded.

"Yes, what's the problem?"

"Of course there's a problem. You said you'd buy me clothes."

"right."

"No, why are you buying clothes for me?" Jiang Siyan was a little confused. In his understanding, it was always the boy who bought clothes for the girl on a blind date. Why was it the other way around for him?

"I'll buy you clothes for the New Year!"

"I have clothes to wear, I don't need any."

"You don't have any new clothes, do you?" I said, not allowing Jiang Siyan a chance to argue. "It's perfect timing, you can wear new clothes to pay New Year's visits tomorrow, that would be so cool."

"No need for that. If I need it, I'll buy it myself."

Wow, I didn't realize Jiang Siyan was a bit of a chauvinist.

I insisted on buying it for him today.

I changed my grip from holding his wrist to holding his fingers with both hands, swaying them from side to side with a smile on my face, and started making a pinching sound.

"Brother, buy it, buy it!"

Damn it, this is way too hard! I'm never using it again.

"Calling me 'husband' won't do you any good." Jiang Siyan looked at me coldly, her voice devoid of any emotion, exceptionally ruthless.

You're quite the chauvinist, I refuse to believe I can't handle you, I'm going all out.

"Husband..." I tilted my head, blinking my big eyes repeatedly, my voice soft and gentle like that of an innocent young girl who was unaware of the ways of the world.

Upon hearing "husband," Jiang Siyan's breathing quickened. A few seconds later, he smiled, raised his left hand, and patted my head.

"Yan Hui, if Qin Shi Huang used your face to build a city wall, Meng Jiangnu would cry for ten lifetimes and still not be able to break it down."

Before I could even react, Jiang Siyan grabbed me by the neck and forced me forward.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts..."

"Now you know what pain is. Where's your shamelessness in calling me 'husband' just now?"

"I was wrong, I was wrong, I'll never do it again."

As dusk settled and people began to move about, the two figures gradually disappeared into the crowd.

……
