Chen Rumei hesitated and did not answer for a while.
Li Xiaofang, who had her eyes lowered, raised her eyes to look at her.
That look is very complicated.
There are complaints, rejections, disgust, and expectations.
Chen Rumei didn't like Li Xiaofang's eyes.
Li Xiaofang decided to take the initiative and said weakly: "Sister Ru Mei is very busy, how can I have the nerve to trouble sister Ru Mei? Brother Fang Yun, please don't trouble sister Ru Mei?"
Fang Yun only looked at Chen Rumei.
He thinks this issue is very important.
He is very nervous now. He also understands what Li Xiaofang is thinking. He believes that Chen Rumei must also know it if she is so smart.
He wanted to see if she would push him towards her or not.
Chen Rumei closed her eyes and glanced at the steaming lotus seed soup. With a thought in her mind, she looked at Li Xiaofang and said with a gentle smile: "No trouble."
Then he looked at Fang Yun and said, "Let me take Xiaofang back with you."
Fang Yun was happy, smiled and nodded, "Okay."
Li Xiaofang lowered her head and flashed her eyelashes.
The opportunity she had finally waited for was ruined by Chen Rumei, which made her furious.
However, she did not show anger. Instead, she raised her head and smiled shyly at Chen Rumei, "Then I'll trouble Sister Rumei."
"It's okay." Chen Rumei is a relatively sensitive and sharp person.
She clearly saw that Li Xiaofang was unhappy when she agreed, but she could still smile and thank her like a normal person.
For the first time, she discovered that this soft and shy little girl was not simple.
Before, she didn't pay much attention to Li Xiaofang. In her eyes, she was just a hard-working little girl with a low sense of presence in Chen Zhaozhao's words. She looked very simple.
But now it seems that Li Xiaofang's thoughts are very complicated.
In fact, Li Xiaofang was interested in Fang Yun at the beginning, but she also kept her distance and restrained her emotions.
It wasn't until recently that she showed any signs of it.
It should be said that after all branches of the braised vegetable restaurant were opened, Fang Yun was promoted to supervisor, and his salary skyrocketed.
Chen Rumei feels that Li Xiaofang is not worthy of Fang Yun, and Fang Yun deserves a better girl.
After more than half an hour, I got off work.
Chen Rumei paid everyone today's wages and then accompanied Fang to transport Li Xiaofang home.
Fang Yuan was riding a three-wheeled bicycle delivered by the store, while Li Xiaofang and Chen Rumei sat on the left and right beside the carrier.
It was autumn at this time and the nights were very cool.
Sitting behind the bicycle, Chen Rumei felt the evening breeze blowing, and she felt that her depressed mood had become much lighter.
The three of them had no topic to talk about and were silent all the way.
When the bike left the city, the dirt road became uneven. Fang Yun reminded, "This road is uneven. Sit tighter."
"good."
Chen Rumei and Li Xiaofang responded one after another.
Li Xiaofang looked at Chen Rumei opposite her from time to time, looking at her beautiful face and feeling very jealous in her heart.
How can someone be so good-looking, have such a good family background, and be a great college student?
The important thing is that Fang Yun cares about her very much, and the two of them are very interesting together.
Every time she saw Fang Yun caring about Chen Rumei, she felt particularly unhappy, but they had no one to talk to.
She was very curious as to why Chen Rumei hadn't dated her yet.
She didn't know Chen Rumei's past.
After hesitating for a long time, I finally couldn't help but ask, "Sister Ru Mei, why aren't you married yet?"
She knew that Chen Rumei's older sisters were all married, but she didn't understand that her second sister was still unmarried.
Chen Rumei looked at Li Xiaofang and smiled, "Maybe it's because fate hasn't arrived yet."
Li Xiaofang thinks that Chen Rumei's smile is really beautiful, so gentle and calm, it's too beautiful to be true.
She is often ashamed of herself and is often jealous of her.
She has all the good things she wants to have but doesn't have at all.
However, when she saw that her sisters were all married, but she didn't have a partner and had no intention of getting married, she couldn't help but wonder if there was something shameful hidden in her.
Of course, now that she heard her answer, her eyes lit up, she glanced at Fang Yun, and asked, "What does it mean that the fate is not there?"
Isn't Brother Fang Yun her destiny?
She doesn't have that idea about Brother Fang Yun?
She suddenly became excited, "Have you never met anyone you want to get married?"
She knows that today's female college students have to find a partner on their own, instead of relying solely on family matchmaking.
Chen Rumei noticed the change in her expression and eyes, saw Fang Yun's suddenly stiffened back, pursed her lower lip and said, "It's not time to get married yet."
"Ah?" Li Xiaofang was not satisfied with her answer.
What does this ambiguous mean?
"You must be twenty-six this year, right? The girls in our village got married at sixteen or seventeen. I am now twenty, and my family is pushing me hard. People in the village are gossiping. Your family doesn't push you? No one talks about you.
gossip?"
Li Xiaofang didn't know how old Chen Rumei was, but she knew how old Chen Zhaozhao was, so she inferred Chen Rumei's age from Chen Zhaozhao's age.
After all, Chen Rumei looks like a twenty-year-old girl, and her actual age cannot be traced from her appearance.
When Chen Rumei heard the word twenty-six, her heart twitched. She is already so old!
Although she often heard Chen Zhaozhao say that a girl in her twenties and seventies was still very young, she still felt older and a little anxious about her age.
The main reason is that she is afraid that someone will ask her like Li Xiaofang, why she is not married at such an old age.
She didn't want to mention her embarrassing past to anyone, and she couldn't tell anyone that she didn't plan to get married, with the exception of Fang Yun.
She only told Fang Yun.
She was repelled by Li Xiaofang's question and didn't know how to answer it.
Fang Yun knew Chen Rumei very well and knew that this problem was difficult for her, so he helped her out, "Rumei is now focusing on her studies.
Many of our classmates are like this. There is no rush to get married. We are still young at twenty-six.
I’m not twenty-nine and I’m not married yet!”
Li Xiaofang felt sad and unhappy when she heard Fang Yun speak for Chen Rumei. She stood up in panic and explained anxiously.
"Brother Fang Yun, I didn't say what you meant."
Chen Rumei, "..."
So, just talking about her?
Li Xiaofang realized that it was wrong to say that, and became even more panicked, "Sister Ru Mei, I didn't tell you what you meant. I didn't mean anything else, I was just curious."
She stood there, looking pitifully flustered.
Chen Rumei didn't care about her and didn't say anything.
Fang Yun didn't want to argue with her, so he just said, "Xiaofang, it would be better if you didn't explain."
"Ah?" Li Xiaofang felt that she had been scolded by Fang Yun, and she blushed with anxiety, her neck was thick, and her eyes were red.
He was so anxious to explain that he could no longer stand still, "I, I, I...did I say the wrong thing?
If I offend you, I hope you won’t blame me, it’s all because I’m not very good at speaking.”
She first bent over to apologize to Fang Yun, and then to Chen Rumei.
The three-wheeled bicycle is not big, so her big movements made the already unstable bicycle shake.
And because she was nervous, she stood unsteadily, so she became even more unsteady when she swayed.
"Sit down quickly, don't..."
Before Chen Rumei could say anything, one side of the bicycle wheel pressed against a raised stone and shook violently.
Li Xiaofang immediately exclaimed and rushed towards Fang Yun...
