Qiao Lian had never been in a relationship, even when he had a crush on Bai Xue Yan, he could only secretly and clumsily go to the flower shop to buy a lily every day. This was the only method he had used to chase after girls, like a child who wanted to see a young woman take a bath. He had the heart and courage to be a thief, but instead of digging a hole in the wall, he openly pulled open the curtain, his method was clumsy and cowardly.
Therefore, Qiao Liansheng, who was a rotten wood that couldn't be carved, took the beautiful Ye Qingxuan to a small park outside the school for a walk, and even said it was to relieve boredom. A man and a woman were walking in a park filled with elderly people. It was an extremely unusual scene.
In the end, it was Ye Qingxuan who softly suggested that they go buy some clothes. She pulled Qiao Liansheng out of the park and hailed a taxi. She said a word that Qiao Liansheng was unfamiliar with to the driver,"Gui Street."
It started from the west section of the Dongzhimen Overpass on the Second Ring Road in the east and ended at the east section of Jiaodaokou East Street in the west. It was a well-known food street in Beijing. It was named "Gui Street" and was also commonly known as "Ghost Street" by the people. The two words were homonym, but they did not agree. This was a food street that was open 24 hours a day. Every night, Gui Street would be brightly lit and very lively.
Qiao Liansheng got out of the taxi and looked at the busy street. He frowned slightly. It wasn't that he didn't like crowds, but he didn't want to participate in this unfamiliar crowd. He couldn't feel any enthusiasm in this kind of crowd.
"Didn't you say you were going to buy clothes? This place seems to be full of restaurants!" Walking along Gui Street with Ye Qingxuan, Qiao Liansheng looked around in confusion.
Ye Qingxuan closed her eyes and sniffed the air with her nose. She chuckled."This is a famous food street in Beijing. When I was in university, I would come here with two or three classmates almost every week. I liked the stewed fire and spicy crayfish here the most! How nostalgic!"
Qiao Liansheng smiled in agreement. Looking at the various signboards on both sides of the street, he smiled and said,""Is that so?"
"That's right! However, after graduation, everyone had either left or dispersed. It was difficult for them to reunite, let alone come here together. Hehe, I haven't been here for months.”As Ye Qingxuan spoke, a hint of sadness appeared on her beautiful face.
"Alright, I'll risk my life to accompany you today!”Qiao Liansheng looked as if he was willing to go through a mountain of knives and a sea of fire.
Ye Qingxuan covered her mouth and chuckled. After a while, she shook her head and said,""There's no hurry. This place is only really lively at night. Let's go shopping first.”
"Are you saying that we're going to shop until night before coming here?”Qiao Liansheng frowned. She finally understood why Ma Houwen said that men who accompanied women to shop were the kind of people with a bitter life. She felt like backing out.
"What's wrong? Are you trying to escape?" Ye Qingxuan pouted and turned to look at Qiao Liansheng.
"No, no..." Qiao Liansheng shook his head vigorously." It's just homework that needs to be marked in your office.。。”
"I'm the form teacher. Can't I give myself a break?”
"Alright…"
"Let's go!" Ye Qingxuan smiled in satisfaction and walked briskly ahead.
Looking at Ye Qingxuan's graceful back, Qiao Liansheng suddenly felt her heart beating. The thumping sound rang clearly in her mind. A sweet feeling welled up in her heart, as if she had drunk honey. Every cell in her body was jumping excitedly. He gently stroked the green thumb ring on his left thumb and quickly followed…
As dusk fell, Qiao Liansheng carried two bags of goods and sat at the entrance of a shopping mall like a statue of Buddha. She watched the men and women entering and leaving the mall and sighed bitterly.
Ye Qingxuan was a normal woman. A normal woman would usually go to all the shopping malls to buy a piece of clothing. Then, she would go back and find the clothes that she had liked before. She would argue with the boss about the price being too expensive and finally buy the clothes at a price that she was satisfied with. This process would take at least seven to eight hours. What was even more strange to the man was that during this process, the woman did not feel hungry or tired, and her eyes were always shining with excitement.
Qiao Liansheng was not depressed about this. If a man missed a meal, he would lose an arm or a leg. What made Qiao Liansheng feel conflicted and awkward was that every time they negotiated a price, the waiter would hand the bill to Qiao Liansheng and point to the counter not far away. He said very naturally,"Pay over there."
Qiao Liansheng touched his dry pockets and could only stand there without moving. He did not have the habit of carrying a bank card, and he only had three cards in his pocket. He wanted to, but he could not!
Then, Ye Qingxuan would take the bill from him and walk to the cashier with a smile. Qiao Liansheng, who was carrying a shopping bag, looked at the waiter who was staring at him with disdain. At this moment, Qiao Liansheng wished he could walk over and slap the waiter's face. Then, he raised his head and said arrogantly,""What are you looking at? I've never seen a pretty boy who's attracted to a rich woman!”
Of course, this was just a thought. He had to turn around and listen to the waiter's mocking words."If you can't even afford to spend a few hundred yuan chasing a woman, what's the point of being a man? You might as well cut that thing off and change your sex.”
Grievance! This was really f * cking frustrating! Qiao Liansheng thought indignantly and reminded herself that she had to remember this. In the future, she had to bring ten thousand yuan with her when she went shopping with women. Otherwise, she would embarrass all the men in the world.
"Are you tired?" Ye Qingxuan, who had just gone to the washroom, walked over and patted Qiao Liansheng's shoulder, her beautiful face apologetic.
Qiao Liansheng stood up with a smile and shook his head." My body is strong. It's fine."”He wasn't tired, but he regretted it. His intestines were about to turn green with regret.
"Let's go! Gui Street is very lively right now!" Ye Qingxuan smiled sweetly and naturally leaned over, holding Qiao Liansheng's arm as they walked towards Gui Street.
Qiao Lian's body trembled. The fatigue and hunger of the day were swept away. Her heart was beating wildly again. Every scene she saw was so charming, and everything was so beautiful…
At night, Gui Street was like a festival. 2,400 lanterns were hung all over the street. The lights were brilliant and it was lively and festive. Holding Qiao Liansheng's arm, Ye Qingxuan walked to a familiar restaurant called Jingui. She ordered thirty spicy crayfish and three side dishes, then found a corner seat and sat down.
Qiao Liansheng no longer had the ignorant and unscrupulous look that she had when she first arrived in Beijing. Although she was still curious, she still sat very quietly, occasionally glancing at the people around her who were eating until their faces were flushed and their backs were drenched in sweat. Of course, because he had the beautiful Ye Qingxuan beside him, he had to accept the envious and jealous gazes of other men.
"Do you know why Gui Street is called Gui Street?”While waiting for the dishes, Ye Qingxuan asked with interest.
Qiao Liansheng chuckled and shook his head." Haha, I just came to Beijing not long ago, so I'm not familiar with it.”If Ye Qingxuan hadn't kept repeating the word 'ghost', he wouldn't have known that the word' ghost 'was pronounced under the bronze statue at the bridgehead of the Dongzhimen flyover.
"Hehe, during the Qing Dynasty, all the city gates of Beijing had their own special purpose. Dongzhimen was used to transport wood into Beijing and dead people out of the city. This area was originally used as a coffin shop and a wooden shop. There were also many hawkers selling junk apples. They used kerosene to get light. From afar, the lights were dim, and the coffin shops and wooden shops could be seen everywhere. It made people feel creepy. Therefore, this place was called the ghost market.”
"Are you going to tell a ghost story?" Qiao Liansheng asked in amusement when she heard Ye Qingxuan's deliberate tone.
Ye Qingxuan smiled and ignored him. She continued,""In modern times, this street was originally going to be renamed East Inner Restaurant Street, but the owners of the businesses here didn't agree. They were afraid that changing the name would ruin the feng shui. Then, he thought of the Gui word, which had the same pronunciation as the ghost word. That was why Gui Street now had the meaning of a place to eat.”
"She's still a talented girl from Tsinghua University's Chinese department! Being a primary school teacher really buries your talent. Hehe, are you interested in joining me?”Qiao Liansheng looked at Ye Qingxuan and grinned.
"Under your name? Hehe, what position are you giving me?”Ye Qingxuan blinked her beautiful eyes and rested her chin on one hand as she looked at Qiao Liansheng with interest.
"Of course it's the lady boss! How can I make you suffer?" Qiao Liansheng blurted out as she stared at Ye Qingxuan with a teasing smile on her face. Her heart was beating wildly, and she was extremely nervous.
Ye Qingxuan was stunned. After a long silence, she asked softly,""Are you joking?"
Qiao Liansheng exhaled lightly and suddenly became serious. She gathered her courage and looked into Ye Qingxuan's beautiful eyes."I'm serious. Are you willing?”
Silence, deathly silence. Qiao Liansheng, who was tense and tense, didn't dare to blink, afraid that she would miss something.
"Puchi-"
Ye Qingxuan suddenly chuckled and blushed. She rolled her eyes at Qiao Liansheng." You wish!" You already said that I'm a talented woman. How can I be caught up so easily? Hehe…However, I can give you a chance to express your gratitude.”After saying that, she blinked her beautiful eyes slyly.
Qiao Liansheng secretly heaved a sigh of relief and adjusted her emotions. She smiled and asked,""How?"
"First of all, you have to treat me to this meal.”
"There must be no problem with that!" Qiao Liansheng patted his chest vigorously, then remembered that there were only three big unity cards in his pocket. He couldn't help but stare blankly and asked in a low voice,""How much is this meal?"
Qiao Liansheng regretted it the moment he said it. This was the most complete humiliation she had experienced in the past twenty years. Looking at the giggling Ye Qingxuan, Qiao Liansheng wished that he could crawl into a hole and slap himself.
"You don't have enough money? Hehe, it's okay. I can help you pay on credit.”Ye Qingxuan suggested mischievously.
“。。。。”
Qiao Liansheng ate the entire meal in a very nervous manner. He was really afraid that he would not have enough money and would need to pay on credit. If that happened, where would he put his face? Ye Qingxuan ate with relish, but she would occasionally laugh at Qiao Liansheng's face.
Qiao Liansheng was thinking too much. This meal only cost a little over 100 yuan. When she heard the bill from the waiter, Qiao Liansheng instantly straightened his back. He heroically took out two large bills from his pocket and handed them to the waiter. He let out a long sigh, which made Ye Qingxuan, who was waiting at the side, laugh.
The two of them strolled around for a while more before they hailed a taxi and left Gui Street…
Ye Qingxuan lived very close to Zhang Xianyong's school, about a kilometer away from the school. After sending Ye Qingxuan to the entrance of the neighborhood, Qiao Liansheng politely smiled and waved goodbye to her.
Ye Qingxuan stood at the entrance of the neighborhood with two shopping bags in her hands. She watched as the taxi carrying Qiao Liansheng disappeared into the night with a faint smile on her beautiful face.
"Is Miss tempted?" A magnetic voice came from a dark corner. A tall and thin man slowly walked out, but his body didn't move at all. He floated behind Ye Qingxuan like a ghost and stood respectfully with his head lowered.
Ye Qingxuan's face turned cold. She glanced at the man behind her and said coldly,""You shouldn't be asking this."
"Qing You is worried that Young Lady will be reluctant to leave and forget the important matters.”The man was neither servile nor overbearing. His magnetic voice did not contain any emotion.
Ye Qingxuan snorted and turned to walk back into the neighborhood. As soon as Ye Qingxuan stepped into the neighborhood, the man named Qing You disappeared again, as if he had never been there.
Ye Qingxuan walked out of a well-decorated two-bedroom apartment barefooted with a towel draped over her shoulders. She wiped the water off her hair with a towel and sat down on the sofa in the living room. She picked up the red wine on the coffee table and took a sip. Her beautiful eyes drifted to the two shopping bags at the door.
He frowned slightly and hesitated for a moment. He stood up and walked over. He picked up two bags of goods and threw them into the trash can. He turned around and walked back to the sofa. However, he stopped and sighed inexplicably. He turned around and picked up the two bags of goods from the trash can.
After returning to the sofa and sitting down, she took out two pieces of clothing from the shopping bag and gestured them on her beautiful body. Suddenly, she burst out laughing for no reason and muttered to herself with a smile,"How can there be such a stupid man who asks if someone wants to be his wife on their first date? Ha... You're so silly that you're cute!"
