บท 10: YOU ARE A VIRGIN, AREN'T YOU?!

[Yang Menghuo POV]

"But don't be too expensive for your Ying Jie, okay? I might need you later. Give a good discount to me, maybe like a 90% discount, haha!"

"How shameless!" Yang Menghuo yelled spontaneously. He didn't expect this woman to tell him to sell his service for money. And yet, still haggled for a discount! How could someone be so shameless!

Shi Ying laughed freely and patted Menghuo's shoulder like an old aunty patting a young man. "Robin Yang, don't you have a bit of devotion to the older one? Don't you feel pity for your Jie? Ah, it's like this, once you become the number one rental boyfriend in that app, you will get a lot of money. Later, when you are rich, you should be thankful to me because my motivational speech helps to propel your career, right?"

…

'Why does she sound like a suspicious aunty telling me to sign a suspicious contract in the entertainment circle?' Yang Menghuo thought. He got many of those shady offers in the entertainment circle. Luckily, he used his western name, Robin Yang, instead of Yang Menghuo to avoid unnecessary attention.

It was also the reason why he didn't tell his real name to this Shi Ying. Because he didn't want to get entangled with his father's company, Yang Group. Yang Menghuo didn't like how many women in the high circle tried to impress him and even doing an underhanded method simply to hook up with him.

His heart was for Batman-Jie. He didn't even know if Batman-Jie was a man or a woman, but what he knew was that… he loved Batman-Jie!

'Once Batman-Jie, always Batman-Jie!' that was Menghuo's motto about love.

Honestly, Menghuo almost spouted his real name to this woman because the way this woman talked felt very familiar to him. It comforted him somewhat, like an older sister telling him to do stuff and would chide him affectionately when he made a mistake.

'Then she… or he would give me a Tanghulu whenever I do something good as Robin…' Menghuo inevitably remembered that Batman-Jie often gave him a Tanghulu. All he needed to do was just give his daily pocket money from Grandma, about 100 Yuan, to Batman-Jie. And Batman-Jie would give him a Tanghulu as a reward.

'MengMeng, this Tanghulu is very expensive, it cost around 110 Yuan each. Jie is giving this for you because Jie knows you like it!' Batman Jie said.

The nine year old sheltered Menghuo accepted with relish and said, 'Thank you so much, Batman-Jie! Don't worry about money! MengMeng has those stuff in my house. I can always give you um… I don't know… 10000 Yuan? I see that on the table this morning!' Little Menghuo said obediently.

Looking back at it, Batman-Jie was definitely taking the money for herself. Once he got older, he finally realized there was no Tanghulu that cost 110 Yuan each.

Yang Menghuo should be angry at Batman-Jie for scamming him. But he took it as a boyfriend spoiling his lover. In fact, if Batman-Jie wanted more, he could always give more money. Menghuo didn't lack money, even for seven generations of splurging it.

'But where is my Batman-Jie…'

"Hey, Robin didi, are you alright? You have been dazed for a while," Shi Ying asked. Yang Menghuo's daydream popped out immediately when facing this woman called Shi Ying. She was so shameless and money-hungry, unlike his dreamy Batman-Jie, who was heroic, strong, but also gorgeous at the same time under that Batman mask.

Yang Menghuo looked away and crossed his arm. He leaned on the chair with a cool expression that would definitely melt many girls. "Enough with this useless banter. Since you are my date today, we should just start the date thingy. You are older than me, right? Of course, you know what people do on the first date."

Shi Ying's relaxed face tensed immediately. She looked stiff and tried to brush the topic by saying, "Ah, your Jie here has many dates in my life, so I forgot how it feels to do the first date. Why don't you give me a pointer instead?"

This time, Yang Menghuo was the one who stiffened. He cleared his throat and replied, "Of course, I know. But you are the older. You should be giving your junior a pointer."

"No, you are the man. Of course, you should take the initiative. I am too well versed in dating, so my date is usually in high-end dinner or something."

"Ever heard of ladies first? This is 2021, there is no boundary about the initiative," Yang Menghuo threw the responsibility back to Shi Ying.

"But you are a model ah, of course, you have dated plenty of female models!" Shi Ying countered.

"I'm not that cheap!" Yang Menghuo denied.

Both of them finally realized something after throwing the responsibility at each other for so long. Yang Menghuo and Shi Ying stared at each other, pointed their fingers simultaneously, and said in unison.

"You are a complete virgin, aren't you?!"

…

Yang Menghuo and Shi Ying were both stunned after hearing such accusation towards each other. Though embarrassing, they cleared their throat and silently accepted that both of them were complete virgins without experience posing for the first date.

However, none of them wanted to brush the topic of their inexperienced life. Both Shi Ying and Menghuo acted as if nothing was wrong. They leaned on the chair and started scrolling on their phones in awkward silence.

What were they doing? They were using Baidu to search the same thing:

*What to do on the first date if your date is a virgin nagging secretary?* Yang Menghuo typed.

*What to do on the first date if your date is a stubborn virgin model?* Shi Ying typed.
