Chapter 169: Three Women, One Drama (Two in One)
"Why don't you just call her?"
This was Su Enxi's voice. She placed her hand to her ear like a telephone and spoke in a low voice.
"What the hell is that tone?"
This is the voice of Jude Mai.
Su Enxi giggled when she heard that, and pointed at Utsunomiya Zhuo while laughing, "It's him, 'Why don't you just call her?'" She lowered her voice and repeated it again. Her voice was deep, and there was a hint of annoyance in it.
Jude Mai looked at Utsunomiya Shuo, but the latter continued to peel eggs silently, pretending not to hear anything.
"What's wrong with him now? Is there a bone in this egg?" said Jiude Mai.
Su Enxi glanced at Jiude Mai thoughtfully and chuckled, "Why are you asking me this..."
As she spoke, she pinched her chin and thought for a while, her eyes rolling around, and then she restrained her expression in an instant.
——You can tell at first glance that this is a bad cat with bad intentions.
Su Enxi put down her fork, clasped her hands together, bowed her head to Jiude Mai, and said in a serious tone: "The Buddha's heart is empty of the four elements. I have no worldly thoughts and have no chance to enjoy the wealth of the world. Amitabha."
Jude Mai blinked, then glanced at Utsunomiya Shuo who was still pretending to be an ostrich, and then pointed her index finger at the tip of her nose.
Su Enxi: "Amitabha."
"Play by yourself." Jiude Mai rolled her eyes and picked up the cup to drink some soy milk.
——The next sentence should be the charming "You say that everything is empty, but you keep your eyes closed. If you open your eyes and look at me, I don't believe that your eyes are empty."
As a Japanese, I don’t know if Mai Jude has watched the 86 version of Journey to the West, but Utsunomiya Shuo has definitely seen it.
He pretended not to hear and continued peeling the eggs.
"Stop talking," Su Enxi put away her expression and looked at the butler who was acting as air, "Sir, can you help me get that thing?"
"Please wait a moment."
The footsteps fade away.
Ling looked up at this time and glared at Su Enxi coldly. The latter looked at Zhuo with a playful smile on her face and did not respond.
……
Less than a minute later, Hiroshi Kimura came back with a tray. He was out of breath but spoke calmly.
Then he picked up the hanger, raised his hand as high as possible, and the clothes on the hanger slowly unfolded.
They were two particularly eye-catching cherry-colored kimonos with classic plaid patterns, a super slim waist design, slimming and three-dimensional yet with fashionable curves - the clothes came in one large and one small, one for men and one for women.
It's clear at a glance.
When Su Enxi saw the lovely kimono again, she immediately stood up, grabbed it, and looked at it over and over again.
Jiude Mai also tasted it and said to Su Enxi, "It's a pretty good kimono. The style is very trendy and you can't find it easily. But it doesn't suit your figure."
"My figure is one thing, but my temperament doesn't match. Look at my hair style. I'm going for the pure literary girl style. I don't think this dress will match me." Su Enxi said as she turned around to look at Ling who was sitting at the dining table without looking up.
"..." Jiude Mai thought for a moment and said, "This men's style is quite suitable. Come on, handsome boy, try on the clothes with your sister~"
She said as she waved.
Only then did Ling look up at the clothes, his eyes fixed on it for a few seconds, but then he frowned again.
"It's okay. I don't think I can handle it." Zhuo Hui refused.
These two people are singing in unison like a double act, who can't hear it?
Do you treat everyone else as fools?
Although it was only for a moment, he still felt Zero's impatience just now - it seemed that the reason for her anger had been found, and it had nothing to do with him.
Of course, he wasn't the only one who could see that.
"Oh, Your Highness. We notified someone to make this dress three months ago, and it was completed a week ago. It looks absolutely perfect on you. It has the right temperament, figure, and vitality. Can you just pity those craftsmen and not let the little skirt gather dust?" Su Enxi said.
Jiude Mai watched calmly from the sidelines and did not choose to join in.
Instead, he leaned back in his chair with his arms folded, and spoke to Utsunomiya Shuo with a smile.
"Handsome boy, have you seen Sanwu's figure? Don't be fooled by her," Jiude Mai pointed at the table, "She has been wearing a restraint belt under her clothes. Even if her real size is not as good as mine, it can catch up with Potato Chips."
"What does this have to do with me?" Su Enxi said resentfully.
"Isn't it right?"
"What does it have to do with me?"
It is said that three women make a play. Even if Ling doesn't say a word, the cast is complete.
Utsunomiya Shuo could only force a smile and nod, not daring to say a word.
There was a lot of chirping in my ears, as if I was bargaining with people in the vegetable market.
Ling frowned and looked at the two of them, then shook his head helplessly.
"I won't wear it. Are you guys going to eat or not?"
"..."
"..."
Jiude Mai and Su Enxi looked at each other and put down the clothes in their hands. They naturally saw that Sanwu was determined, so they ended the farce.
"Yes, yes, let's eat quickly and then find a place. There are a lot of programs scheduled for today." After saying that, Su Enxi quickly pulled Jiude Mai back to her seat.
Zhuo sat silently opposite, never saying a word, acting as a bystander.
He took one last look at the kimono.
Although Zhuo doesn't know much about matching, just imagining the effect of wearing this waist-hugging kimono, she feels that Ling will be very beautiful and cute in it.
Maybe even more exquisite than Barbie.
"Handsome boy, do you want some more? I'll give it to you~"
Jiude Mai's urging voice came at the right time, and Zhuo quickly withdrew his thoughts and prepared to refuse.
when--
The knife and fork hit the porcelain plate, making a crisp sound.
Zero split the fried egg on the plate with one hand, left a piece of bun on his plate as if nothing had happened, and put away his fork.
Utsunomiya Zhuo stared at the table and laughed dryly: "Enough, enough, I can't eat that much."
When Zero is silent, it is indeed a bit scary.
There is a saying that goes - people who don't like to get angry normally are the most terrifying when they get angry.
Ling belongs to this category. Zhuo has never seen her angry.
But Jiude Mai might have seen it before... She was obviously not afraid, and was the type who enjoyed watching the fun.
"You're welcome," said Jude Mai, and she forked her half-eaten fried egg into Zhuo's plate and placed it on the bun that Ling forked over, covering it. Then she smiled at him, "I have to control my intake, so I'll leave it to you~" Zhuo didn't know what to do, so he nodded perfunctorily.
To be honest, the breakfast here is delicious. It tastes really good, not worse than Ling's, and even more delicious to some extent. The ingredients are also the freshest. The buns are soft, the meat filling inside is delicious, and the thick soup makes the taste not greasy.
Zhuo naturally didn't dare to touch the half-fried egg that Jiude Mai gave him. One could even see Jiude Mai's tooth marks on it.
He has always been very self-aware. It is impossible that Jiude Mai did this because she liked him. She just did it for fun.
And he himself is a very ordinary and vulgar person.
He has all the bad habits that a man should have. Actually, it's nothing. Every man has these problems to a certain extent - fickle, easily attracted by other women, always thinking about what's in the pot while looking at what's in the bowl. What's at home is never as good as what's outside. He can't help but stare at beautiful women on the street and want to express his chromosomes... and so on.
but.
What you think is one thing, what you do is another.
——Judge the person, not his heart. No one is perfect when judging by his heart.
It depends on how he does it.
Zhuo didn't dare to guarantee that he would not have any feelings for Jiude Mai, the legendary "peerless enchantress" who even Caesar put down his gun and chatted with, so he simply didn't look at her - he kept his head down the whole time.
The positioning of Jiude Mai in "The Dragon Clan" is very clear—she was born to confuse everyone.
If you have a deep connection with a girl like this, it's easy to be obsessed with her.
So let’s just say goodbye.
People should know themselves.
He admitted that he liked Zero a little, but he felt that there was no possibility for him and Zero, so he let everything take its course and didn't force anything... But to say that he didn't have even a hint of fantasy would be pure self-deception.
In this case, since you still have fantasies, you shouldn't show excessive concern for other women.
Otherwise, he would really be useless, fickle-minded, and have no idea who he is.
Utsunomiya Zhuo calmly pushed the 'half-fried egg' aside, picked up the last piece of bun and put it into his mouth... Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Ling staring at the food on the table in a daze.
After the women had been eating for a while, they started talking more and more.
The main force is naturally Su Enxi and her two companions.
"Your boyfriend is not coming today?" Su Enxi asked.
"...Hmm?" Jiude Mai was drinking soy milk with her head tilted back. After swallowing, she put down the cup. "If he doesn't come, I suspect he is a fool. He is not afraid that I will run away with someone else. He told me at the fireworks festival that I want to work and start a business. I am so stupid."
"That's all for the purpose of buying you some clothes." Su Enxi chimed in.
"Potato chips, don't say that. He and I are financially independent. If you say that you want to earn money to buy a house or build a career, I believe it, but when it comes to buying clothes and shoes, I never rely on men." Jiude Mai waved her arms while holding a glass straw.
"Yes, yes, you never rely on men. You rely on me, your aunt." Su Enxi said unhappily.
After listening to these conversations, I suddenly realized that Mai Shude is still studying in the dance department of Tokyo University, which is not far from their school.
Even the distance can be covered by taking a detour.
"Oh, by the way, Sanwu, have you ever thought about finding a boyfriend at school?"
After chatting for a while, the topic suddenly shifted to Zero. The blonde girl sipped her soup without even raising her head.
"No plan."
"Aren't men thirty like wolves and forty like tigers? Logically, you are in need of a man."
As soon as Su Enxi finished speaking, Her Royal Highness the Princess immediately looked up and gave her a dagger-like look.
But Su Enxi didn't care about Ling's gaze.
"What's the big deal? Our little...little handsome boy might know everything, even more than you do. Just focus on eating, and don't get involved in our girls' chat."
Su Enxi greeted Zhuo with a smile. Zhuo turned his head to look at Ling, who had an expressionless face, and responded to her with a smile.
"You guys chat about your own things. I only brought my mouth here today, not my ears."
But I seriously doubt that you changed your words just now!!!
"Look, Sanwu, we've known each other for so many years, and I've never seen you interested in anyone. Have you never thought about that in these years?"
The topic gradually became more and more heated. Zhuo felt the gaze of a fake loli from the side, but pretended not to see it and continued chewing his bun.
Drink soy milk.
"I'm not lying to you. I've never been interested in those things."
Zero's tone remained calm.
"Okay, but finding a man isn't just for that. Having someone who understands you and takes care of you is always better than being alone." Su Enxi said, pointing to Jiude Mai next to her, "Look at this one, she seems to be smiling all the time since she started puberty."
Jiude Mai rolled her eyes and didn't respond.
"Go by yourself if you like."
Zero said calmly.
"Uh--"
“Pfft—hahaha—” Jude Mai leaned back in her chair and laughed again.
When talking about herself, Su Enxi immediately changed the subject.
"What's the point of finding a boyfriend? He might die at any time. Even if we find a man, he can't save us when we are about to die, and he can't entertain us when we are bored. Even our periods can't help us, and we have to endure it ourselves... Forget it, it's useless."
Jiude Mai smiled with interest, "You speak as if you are very experienced."
ridicule.
"You've passed!" Su Enxi said, "Even if I haven't eaten pork, I've seen pigs run. You've changed so many boyfriends, and I'm just a bystander, okay?
"For example, last time you had menstrual cramps, that silly-eyed science guy came to our place and brought us a cup of ginger tea, but he was frightened by the environment here and felt inferior whenever he saw you. And then there was another one, when you had stomachache, I forgot what he said, and I never saw him again."
Su Enxi talked about Jiude Mai's love history as if she was the one who had experienced it herself, describing it vividly and with indignation.
And it was that helpless tone, not to mention how funny it was.
Zhuo couldn't help but laugh.
"Look, our handsome boy is smiling. Handsome boy, let me tell you, men need to have a high EQ, and can't be like a steel pipe. Sayings like 'drink more hot water' or 'brown sugar ginger tea' are almost useless. Don't we women know this? Why don't we just find a kettle?"
When Zhuo heard Su Enxi's sermon, he suppressed his laughter and nodded like pecking at rice.
If these words were said by Jiude Mai, they might be convincing, but as for Su Enxi... miamia.
Amidst the laughter, Zhuo turned his head to look at Ling who had been sitting next to him without saying a word, but this glance gave Zhuo a fright.
It turned out that Ling had been looking at him all along, his eyes full of disbelief, as if he was meeting him for the first time.
Thanks for the monthly vote.
