Dating should happen after get off work.

Saturday arrived, albeit somewhat awkwardly.

On the first day of July, it was as if all the sunshine in the world was focused on Yancheng; the weather was absolutely wonderful.

The meeting point for the girls was arranged at the entrance of Jiangsheng Residential Area.

From afar, you could hear Xia Xiaoman's cheerful voice. She was holding Li Youhe's arm with her left hand and Lu Sanqian's arm with her right hand as she ran towards Jiang Sheng.

"Jiang Sheng!"

Passing cars, pedestrians, flowers, trees, breeze, and clouds—it was as if everything in the world paused for them at this moment.

Xia Xiaoman was wearing a blue and white pleated skirt, with the hem of her white shirt tucked into it. She was wearing earrings, which was unusual for her, and her lips were painted with lip gloss, which looked crystal clear in the sunlight. She was wearing a black baseball cap with a cat pattern, and her hair looked like it had been blown on early in the morning, with big waves hanging down her back.

Wearing high heels and with beautifully drawn eyeliner, she exudes youthful energy while maintaining a sexy vibe, running in like a leading lady.

She is really beautiful.

There were two others as beautiful as her, one on each side.

Li Youhe wore a long-sleeved cotton and linen dress, the color of which was as light and elegant as the surface of a lake under the morning mist. The neckline was a small Peter Pan collar, and the edges were decorated with lace of the same color.

Her long hair was still loosely tied into a high ponytail, with a few strands accidentally falling to her neck, which did not affect her beauty at all. She wore a pair of beige flat shoes and was slightly shorter than Xia Xiaoman.

Both of them are beautiful, but Lu Sanqian is the one who stands out the most.

The girl is petite and cute, but you can tell that she dressed in a way that made her look more mature and composed.

A Chinese-style stand-up collar blouse in lavender purple with knotted buttons, paired with a dark gray A-line midi skirt that falls below the knee, gives a slightly dignified look.

She wore an even more elaborate makeup than usual, with the blush and eyeshadow colors just right, and wore a pair of black leather shoes, still carrying her signature "Kuromi" purple backpack on her back.

As for why she stands out the most—she's too big.

Especially when wearing a slightly tight-fitting top, the bulge is really exaggerated.

To be honest, Jiang Sheng regretted what he had said last night; he should have let them take the gifts instead.

It's better than it is now.

A moment later, the three of them stood in front of Jiang Sheng.

Xia Xiaoman stood with her hands behind her back, smiling as she looked at Jiang Sheng without saying a word.

Not only her, but Li Youhe and Lu Sanqian also cast expectant glances, wanting to hear Jiang Sheng's evaluation.

He sighed.

"You're making me look like a stranger."

"How is it! Does it look good?" Xia Xiaoman said with a grin.

"From left to right, they are Xiaolu with 95 points, Li Youhe with 94 points, and Xia Xiaoman with 93 points." Jiang Sheng paused after speaking, his eyes quickly scanning the three of them again. "You can see the difference in their scores at a glance."

The three girls looked at each other, somewhat confused, until their gazes settled on their chests.

Only then did I understand what Jiang Sheng meant by "where the difference lies".

Li Youhe's adorable eye-rolling.

The deer lowered its head, and its ears were burning hot.

Xia Xiaoman looked unhappy and punched Jiang Sheng in the chest with her fist:

"It's just that my dress doesn't accentuate my bust! And I'm not exactly small-chested! I want a rematch!"

"Keep your opinion," Jiang Sheng said with a smile, flicking her forehead. "Let's have a tiebreaker next time."

The four of them stood at the entrance of the residential area for about five minutes, attracting the attention of passersby.

Finally, a Mercedes-Benz E300 blocked their path, and a fit man in a black suit and black sunglasses got out of the driver's seat.

Upon seeing Jiang Sheng, he bowed deeply at a 90-degree angle.

The girls around him covered their mouths, looking surprised.

Jiang Shengchong waved to the driver, asking him to help move the computer he had prepared for his grandfather into the trunk.

After that, he let the driver go home and drove himself home.

And as it turns out, a girl who truly cares about you won't care what color your E300 is.

"I want to sit in the front!" Xia Xiaoman happily raised her hand to request.

Two votes in favor, one vote against.

So she grabbed her bag and happily climbed into the passenger seat.

The car started slowly.

To make commuting easier, Jiang's parents usually live in a luxury apartment in the city center.

Today, it was arranged in advance that Jiang Sheng would be bringing friends home for a visit, and the location was set at a villa in the suburbs, about a forty-minute drive from here.

"What are you holding in your hand?" Jiang Sheng, who was driving, glanced at Xia Xiaoman beside him.

Seeing her smilingly take out a... wooden plaque?

"This is Xiaobai's ID tag," Xia Xiaoman said, showing a wooden tag that also bore the name "Bai Jiazhen." "She can't join our team building activity today because she's working overtime, so this tag will symbolize her being with us!"

"..."

If Bai Jiazhen had known about this segment, she probably would have come.

I came here specifically to beat you up.

"Jiang Sheng..."

A girl's faint voice came from behind, so faint that it was barely audible unless you listened carefully.

Jiang Sheng turned around after activating cruise control: "What's wrong?"

"Is your family super rich...?"

Lu Sanqian hugged his schoolbag, his two curious eyes blinking.

"Actually, this is a difficult question for me to answer," Jiang Sheng sighed.

You could feel six curious little ears perking up inside the carriage at the same time.

"He should be considered wealthy, but I don't know exactly how much," he continued. "Look to the right of the overpass."

The three women turned their heads at the same time.

"Do you see those two housing developments over there?"

"I saw it." x3

"Is it pretty?"

"Good-looking" x3

"It was built by my family."

"?" x3

"Its exact value needs to be assessed by a professional; I can't say for sure."

"And let me tell you," Jiang Sheng sighed again, his six little ears perking up once more.

"My mom is easy to talk to, and my dad, though not very talkative, is a gentle person... The problem is my grandfather."

"What's wrong with Grandpa?" x3

Jiang Sheng's expression was unusually serious as he looked at Lu Sanqian in the back seat through the rearview mirror.

"My grandfather had a really bad temper; he was the kind of person who would actually eat little girls."

Little Deer: QAQ

"Jiang Sheng," Li Youhe called out helplessly, "Don't scare Sanqian."

"No, I didn't scare her." Jiang Sheng said with a straight face, "I saw with my own eyes that my grandfather ate young boys and girls, and then transformed into a dragon and flew up to the sky to bring rain to Yancheng."

Little Deer: I want to go home...

"You're scaring him!"

Li Youhe rolled her eyes at Jiang Sheng, then hugged Lu Sanqian to comfort the girl.

Only then did Jiang Sheng reveal a triumphant smile.

"We still have half an hour to go. It'll be so boring if we don't talk."

As he spoke, he noticed that Xia Xiaoman in the passenger seat hadn't spoken for a long time, so he looked over.

Why are you so quiet?

"Ah!" Xia Xiaoman seemed to wake from a dream, turning her head to wink at Jiang Sheng, "What did you say?"

"You're not nervous, are you, Xia Xiaoman?"

"Who, who's nervous!" Her face was pale.

"Has the joke gone too far?" Jiang Sheng wondered.

......

The car passed through the ornate wrought iron gate and slowly came to a stop in the villa's courtyard.

A shallow pond was carved out in the center of the courtyard, its surface as calm as a mirror, where a few summer petals would fall when the wind blew.

Before me stood the imposing main body of the villa, with a red carpet laid out on the ground and the door open.

Jiang's mother, with a beaming smile, and Jiang's father, Jiang Chen, with a blank expression, stood inside the gate to greet Jiang Sheng and his companions.

Now let's look at Jiang Sheng's side.

Lu Sanqian was so nervous that his soul had long since flown away.

Xia Xiaoman messed up at the crucial moment.

And Li Youhe, who was following Jiang Sheng and gently tugging at his clothes.

Jiang sighed, "I should have known better than to joke around in the car."

"Let me introduce you, this is my mom and my dad." Jiang Sheng first introduced the two people in front of him to the girls.

Just as he was about to introduce the three people one by one, Xia Xiaoman grabbed Jiang Sheng's wrist.

"I can do it myself." Her eyes were piercing, and she had a serious expression.

Oh, the most promising one has appeared!

Xia Xiaoman took a small step forward, took a deep breath, and instantly the tension in her body disappeared. When she raised her head again, a very beautiful smile appeared on her face.

"Hello, uncles and aunts, my name is Xia Xiaoman, and I am Jiang Sheng's friend. Thank you for inviting us to visit."

perfect.

So perfect that you wouldn't even recognize the polite and dignified girl in front of you as Xia Xiaoman!

He truly deserves the title of someone who aspires to be a respected actor; he certainly has the talent.

As Xia Xiaoman finished speaking, Li Youhe followed.

She stepped forward, her expression remaining calm and composed, without much change.

"Hello, uncles and aunts, my name is Li Youhe, sorry to bother you."

Concise and to the point is typical of Li Youhe's style.

So the pressure fell on Lu Sanqian.

What will she choose to do?

Jiang Sheng quietly turned his head to look at the deer behind him.

She nervously took off her backpack and slowly pulled out a can of... beer?!

The deer opened a beer!

The deer drank it!

The deer is about to go!
