She took a deep breath, showed the patience of a customer service representative, and whispered, “The Internet says that you are nearly 30 years old. You haven’t been in a relationship yet, have you?”
He really didn’t know.
Because according to the logic of the novel, as a tool man, even if he became cannon fodder in the end, he had to remain chaste for the female lead and be devoted to her.
So, apart from falling in love at first sight with the female lead which was controlled by the plot, Su Zhengxing has never had eyes for women.
“It’s not important.”
“How can it not be important? If I don’t know what you like, how can I tailor it for you?”
Lin Qiao looked like she was thinking about him.
Su Zhengxing had to recall the characteristics of the female lead Shen Ruxing, “Long hair, white dress, clean.”
Although there were few keywords, they were concise and clear.
Lin Qiao snapped her fingers and said, “I see. Pure and innocent type, right? Arrange it!”
As she said that, she turned into a clothing store at the school gate and picked a white dress made of cotton and linen.
After Lin Qiao paid the bill and came out, she heard someone calling her after walking two steps. She turned around and looked in the direction of the voice, and then the expression on her face froze instantly.
Not far away, Cheng Ling came over excitedly and waved to her.
“Lin Qiao, it’s really you. I thought I saw it wrong!”
Lin Qiao put away her phone and tried her best to put on a polite smile.
The person who came was Cheng Ling, her high school classmate, who was a senior at Tsinghua University across the street.
Cheng Ling has a good foundation, with fair skin, light eyebrows and eyes, and long straight black hair. She has the appearance of a standard cold beauty.
Now that she had taken off her school uniform and put on a slim-fitting suspender skirt and a white casual suit jacket, it made her look more capable in addition to her beauty.
To be honest, Lin Qiao envied Cheng Ling and was jealous of Cheng Ling.
From childhood to adulthood, Cheng Ling has always been the child of other people’s families1*“别人家” means “other families,” and “孩子” means “kids.” Literally translated as “other people’s kid”.
This term actually refers to those who have been excellent in many aspects (especially academic performance) since childhood and are often mentioned as role models by other parents to spur their own kids to work harder.
This expression jokingly reveals the fact that many Chinese parents are keen to compare their own children with other kids, and are not very good at seeing the merits in their own offspring..
She always ranked first in exams and won all competitions. She was beautiful and spoke well. From the eighty-year-old old man and old woman to the three-year-old child, no one disliked her.
They were the same age, in the same class, and lived in the same community. They were born to be compared with each other. Lin Qiao has lived under her aura since she was a child.
“It seems like we haven’t seen each other for half a year, right? I miss you so much!” Cheng Ling happily held her hand.
“Unfortunately, I’m too busy with my internship at Baitian. The pace of a big company is too fast and I don’t have time to play with you!” She looked very regretful.
Lin Qiao didn’t respond, so Cheng Ling continued.
“By the way, when I finish the things I’m doing, how about we call our high school classmates over for a gathering?”
Lin Qiao really wanted to ask what was there to get together for since they weren’t familiar with each other.
“You are not allowed to not go when the time comes!”
Cheng Ling was half-threatened and half-scolded.
“You never go to every gathering. Everyone says it’s too hard to see you.”
Lin Qiao avoided answering and only said, “My roommate urged me to go back, so I left first.”
Then, she left in a hurry.
After meeting Cheng Ling, Lin Qiao’s mood obviously dropped.
Su Zhengxing noticed her disappointment and asked, “Don’t you like her?”
Lin Qiao felt irritated for no reason.
“Why should I like her? Just because everyone likes her, can’t I dislike her?”
Perhaps the memories of past grievances came flooding back to her, so Lin Qiao’s tone unconsciously became a little harsh.
Su Zhengxing: “Because…”
Before he finished speaking, Lin Qiao suddenly stopped, changed her usual unruly manner, and said coldly with a gloomy face.
“Su Zhengxing, we are just a cooperative relationship, there is no need to open up to each other. Please don’t read my thoughts.”
“Even if you read it, don’t say it out loud.”
