Chapter 73
I had thought Xiao Liang and Shen Yuzhe would just exchange a few words and that would be the end of it, but I didn't expect the two of them to actually argue for over two hours...
Yes, you heard that right, two whole hours.
On one side, Xiao Liang went on and on, using Shen Yuzhe's "improper attitude" as her main talking point to point out his mistakes.
On the other side, Shen Yuzhe persisted in reciting various classical poems to her, advising her not to get angry, but to have a broad mind and a calm, Buddhist heart.
"Do you know why my grandmother lived until 99 before passing away?"
Shen Yuzhe asked meaningfully.
Xiao Liang put her hands on her hips and rolled her eyes at him. "How would I know!"
"Because my grandmother didn't like meddling in other people's business. I sincerely like Jiang Wei, so you shouldn't obstruct me."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Liang became even more indignant. "Then do you know why my third uncle passed away early at just forty-five years old?"
"Well, forty-five doesn't really count as an early death," Shen Yuzhe flatly corrected her while adjusting his glasses.
"Just a detail, not important," Xiao Liang waved her hand dismissively. "Do you want to know why or not?"
Shen Yuzhe paused, then answered honestly, "Not really."
"Whether you want to or not, you have to!" Xiao Liang was almost driven to jump up and down by this wooden senior brother. She glared at him angrily. "It's because my third uncle insisted on liking a girl who didn't like him back, so he ended up a lifelong bachelor and died in sorrow and regret... If you keep persisting, I can just calculate it out - your future is already predictable..."
"Huh? This young lady, how can you curse someone like that..."
"Huh? This young man, how can you not understand plain words, and why won't you just leave already?"
Jiang Wei: "......"
Unbelievably, this was how Xiao Liang and Shen Yuzhe ended up arguing about this topic for over two hours. Jiang Wei tried persuading them for an hour and a half to no avail, so she went to an empty classroom to space out...
"That's how it went," Jiang Wei sighed deeply. The whole thing sounded like a fantasy story, but who says life isn't a fairy tale? Often, reality is even stranger than fiction...
On the other end of the phone, Yi Ming had been fuming at first, but by the end he was laughing so hard he could barely breathe: "If you ask me, those two are a match made in heaven. It would be a pity if they don't end up together in the future."
"If they do get married someday, their life will never be dull - whenever things get boring, they can just pick a fight, and the atmosphere will instantly become lively again..."
Yi Ming laughed heartily. For some reason, knowing that Xiao Liang was there to protect Jiang Wei, he suddenly felt less weighed down by worry.
When he gets back from the competition, he'll have to buy a huge bag of snacks to reward this "Female Knight" properly.
The stability of his little "corner," whether it would be dug up and taken away by someone wielding a hoe, now depended entirely on this quick-tongued Female Knight...
"So what happened after that? How did they resolve it in the end?"
"Well, eventually they both got tired of arguing. Shen said he had recited almost every classical poem he knew, so he went back to look up some more material to come back and continue the fight."
Yi Ming: "......"
Truly a persevering gentleman, he had to admire that quality...
"After Shen left, I took Xiao Liang away too. We went to a phone repair shop, and I had the owner take a look at my phone. He said there wasn't a major issue, fiddled with it for a bit, and then it turned on. So - the first thing I did was call you..."
"Young Master Yi, don't be angry, okay?" Jiang Wei's voice was uncharacteristically soft and placating.
Yi Ming smiled contentedly, his voice rising in a clear, pleasant tone. "Give me a kiss, and I won't be angry."
Jiang Wei: "......"
So he still had the energy to tease her - it seemed like his anger had completely dissipated...
