Chapitre 6: 006 Old cow eats young grass
"Oh."
Xia Ye raised a finger and pressed it against the man's solid shoulder, pushing him back a bit, "If you're not fast, then I'll go first, I'm quite fast..."
So what if you're not fast, is that something to brag about?
Why do I feel like he's actually proud of it?
Jiang Xuan read a hint of disdain from her gaze: ...
He thought she had recognized him.
He thought she was asking about...
By the time he realized, Xia Ye had already entered the restroom.
The restroom door was firmly shut.
...
A few minutes later, Xia Ye came out, and Jiang Xuan was still waiting at the door.
She took two steps forward, and he followed two steps.
She stopped, and he stopped as well.
After several rounds, Xia Ye turned her head and found herself staring into the man's dark, deep eyes.
The man looked at her intently, "Don't recognize me?"
Xia Ye crossed her arms and slightly tilted her chin to look at him.
I've never seen such blatant following.
It's true that the man's features are quite charming, but somehow he exudes an annoying vibe of a nemesis.
After a long while, she scoffed softly, "Dude, your way of flirting is so cliché."
Jiang Xuan's eyes twitched almost imperceptibly, and he couldn't help but laugh out of irritation.
She must be acting indifferent because she didn't recognize him.
If she knew it was him, she would be happy. (Really now? )
Behind him, having not seen Jiang Xuan return for a long time, Jiang Yunzhou, who had come to the restroom to look for him, happened to witness this scene.
—'No way, no way, no wonder uncle hasn't come back for so long; turns out he was hitting on the little sister?'
Jiang Xuan's gaze sharpened as he turned back, his tone containing warning, "You also think I was hitting on her?"
Jiang Yunzhou was scared stiff by his words. He was just thinking it, but he definitely wouldn't dare say it aloud!
He stared in the direction Xia Ye left, his eyes blank, involuntarily swallowing saliva, "No, no, uncle is not me; how could he possibly be hitting on someone else?"
—'Uncle not only hit on someone, he also got rejected! Nobody would believe this if they heard it!'
—'Looks so abstinent and proper on the outside, turns out he's so wanton~'
—'But given uncle's age, it really is like an old cow eating tender grass, this pitiful little sister looks about my age!'
—'If that Xia Ye was even one-tenth as pretty, I wouldn't need to call off the engagement!'
Jiang Xuan stared at his constantly changing expressions, scoffed coldly, and his face looked quite ugly.
**
Even though she could get into the bar, she couldn't drink, and Xia Ye felt it was pointless and decided to leave after a short while.
Early spring was warm yet chilly, and coincidentally, it started to rain outside.
Xia Ye stood at the bar entrance, looking at the fine drizzle outside, and pulled her coat tighter.
The man from earlier followed up behind her again.
Jiang Xuan mentioned that they were also about to leave and could give her a ride home.
But since he had drunk alcohol and couldn't drive, Jiang Yunzhou called a driver through an app.
Ten minutes later, the casually dressed driver arrived.
He was supposed to just get into the car after stating his driver ID, but upon spotting the luxury car he had never seen before, he silently put on his ID card and gloves...
Xia Ye sat in the passenger seat while the two men sat in the back.
On the way, Xia Ye propped her chin and looked out the window, watching the rain fall incessantly.
She didn't talk, and the men in the back had little chance to speak.
Not until she asked the driver to stop the car at an intersection close to the hospital, politely saying, "Thank you..."
Almost at the same moment as her first word popped out, the two men in the back blurted out in unison, "You're welcome."
Then they heard Xia Ye complete her sentence, "Thank you, driver."
Jiang and his nephew: "..."
Xia Ye got out of the car, holding a milk-yellow umbrella given by the bar waiter.
In the waiter's eyes, the young girl with bandages on her wrists and ankles looked pitifully thin.
So, he gave her the umbrella, and the two gentlemen in the back got none.
'Swoosh—'
The milk-yellow umbrella opened up.
The girl's blurred figure gradually grew more distant, and the driver restarted the car.
In the rainy scene, among the town's numerous bicycles, electric bikes, and rickshaws, a very out-of-place luxury car slowly moved ahead.
"Didn't expect this small-town girl to be so pretty. Too bad I'm returning to the capital tomorrow," Jiang Yunzhou drooped his shoulders listlessly. "Uncle, do you think that Xia Ye will cry, make a scene, or even try to hang herself, unwilling to call off the engagement? You must help me when the time comes!"
He needs to call off his engagement with Xia Ye quickly so he can return to the town and find his Little Fairy!
Jiang Xuan slightly closed his eyes, resting them, "Don't worry."
Jiang Yunzhou thought this meant he would help, his eyes brightening, "I knew uncle would definitely help me!"
The next second, however, he heard Jiang Xuan continue intriguingly, "Don't worry, she's not interested in you."
