Jiang Chengsi originally planned what to do for the first date, but his whole plan was disrupted by Jiang Shiyi’s appearance.
Si Qingxiao t Jiang Shiyi for the first ti as Jiang Chengsi’s girlfriend and felt a bit nervous, but was a bit dizzy by the gifts he gave her, things didn’t seem right.
Privately, she asked Jiang Chengsi, since it’s not proper to accept so many gifts out of the blue.
"It’s okay, if he gives them to you, just take them." Jiang Chengsi couldn’t possibly tell her his brother wanted to buy her off and return her.
"But it’s too much..."
"Don’t worry, my brother’s not short of money."
The original lunch date for two, because of Jiang Shiyi’s joining, turned into a trio.
Jiang Shiyi isn’t clueless; it’s just that it’s his first eting in such a role, so he treated them to a al and then left. When searching for a restaurant, he didn’t care about his brother but definitely had to accommodate the young lady’s preferences, hence asking Jiang Chengsi what she likes to eat?
"I’m not sure yet."
"Your girlfriend, and you don’t know what she likes to eat?" Jiang Shiyi looked at his brother’s deanor and was even more certain that this was quite the clueless fellow.
How did this girl end up being tricked by him?
"We just started dating, haven’t figured out her preferences, probably similar to mine."
"Just started dating, how long has it been?"
"Today is the second day."
Jiang Shiyi furrowed his brows, thinking of the search history on a certain soone’s computer. Just started dating, and this kid’s already thinking about all sorts of nonsense.
Jiang Chengsi noticed his brother’s increasingly odd look, his head starting to ache.
"Brother, don’t overthink."
Jiang Shiyi said bluntly, "I’m now afraid I’m not thinking enough."
"..."
Jiang Shiyi finally chose a hot pot restaurant near the community, Jiang Chengsi knowing his brother’s typical style was worried he might say sothing inappropriate during the al, repeatedly reminding him not to say anything careless or scare her.
Jiang Shiyi wouldn’t speak indiscreetly; he was even more worried she might run away, eager to keep her more than Jiang Chengsi was.
This person was a regular custor of Tang Wan’s, even inviting her specifically for the baby’s month celebration, her temperant and character likely weren’t an issue.
He only knew her last na was "Xiao," and since Jiang Chengsi also called her Xiaoxiao, it seed reasonable, so the entire al passed without asking her full na or age, just urging her to eat more.
"Chengsi can be a bit childish; while you’re with him, you’ll definitely need to be more understanding of him in the future."
Jiang Shiyi spoke to Si Qingxiao too courteously, so she could only nod in response.
"If there’s anything he doesn’t do well, you need to tell him promptly; he can be quite slow sotis, hasn’t been in a relationship before, might not know how to take care of soone, but he’s obedient, willing to correct mistakes."
"He usually won’t spend recklessly aside from the car."
...
Jiang Chengsi had been worried his brother might expose so of his embarrassing things, but Jiang Shiyi was trying to market him, obviously picking the good points to ntion.
This was the first ti Jiang Chengsi ever felt what it was like to be praised by his brother.
Every ti Jiang Shiyi spoke, Si Qingxiao listened attentively.
But gradually, it started feeling different.
There was a sense of being in a large-scale scene of parental entrustnt.
But halfway, Tang Wan made a phone call, perfectly interrupting Jiang Shiyi’s words, "Sorry, I need to take this call." The boiling hotpot in the private room truly wasn’t suitable for conversation.
Tang Wan didn’t call her for anything special, just to notify her to check the screen at the studio in the afternoon.
"The prototype is ready, if you’re free, co to the studio this afternoon." Si Qingxiao ordered this screen when she was pregnant, and it’s been delayed for too long.
"I’m not free this afternoon, tomorrow okay? Are you available?" Si Qingxiao spoke to her very courteously.
After all, if it weren’t for Tang Wan declaring their acquaintance at the Si Family yesterday to ease her awkwardness, there would have been trouble.
"I’m flexible, are you with Fourth Brother now?" Tang Wan tentatively asked.
Previously, "Miss Xiao" always felt mysterious, likely due to her relationship with Jiang Chengsi, instantly bringing a feeling of closeness.
"Yes." She didn’t deny it.
"Am I not interrupting you?"
"No."
"Actually, Fourth Brother is quite a good guy, even though he seems unreliable, he’s actually dependable, the more you interact with him, the more you’ll understand." Likely due to the comparisons among the Jiang brothers, Jiang Chengsi’s public label was always unconventional, extre, racing, and crazy.
"I know Fourth Master is quite good."
They chatted a bit and then hung up.
Jiang Jinsang was opposite Tang Wan, watched Jiang Xiaowai play with his hand, noticed Tang Wan hanging up with a different expression, and asked, "What’s wrong? Didn’t manage to get soone out?"
Actually, Tang Wan called Si Qingxiao not only for the screen but also out of concern for her and Jiang Chengsi. Their relationship was clearly special, but their behavior at the Si Family yesterday was unusual, making her want to see if there would be any issues.
"Got her; she said she’d co to the studio tomorrow, now she’s with Fourth Brother."
"That ans there’s no issue, why the frown?"
"She actually called Fourth Brother ’Fourth Master’? Is that how she refers to Fourth Brother? Their relationship seems like it shouldn’t be that distant."
"When I lived at your ho for so long, didn’t you always call Fifth Master? Later, you changed the title."
"..."
Tang Wan recalled changing from Fifth Master to Fifth Brother with a lot of emotion, she was probably infatuated with him then.
Jiang Jinsang was soone who suited her aesthetic tastes; if he teased a little, Tang Wan couldn’t resist.
Tang Wan glanced at her son besides, gnawing his finger and thought, this kid better not take after his dad.
However, recalling the misdeeds at the Huo Family and Si Family, Tang Wan felt an ominous premonition.
**
On the other side, Si Qingxiao hung up the phone, turned around to find Jiang Chengsi standing less than a ter away, arms crossed, with an amused expression.
Jiang Chengsi didn’t intentionally eavesdrop; he just saw her out for a long ti and ca over to check, hearing her ntion screen, studio, deduced it’s Tang Wan’s call.
Their relationship was known to Tang Wan, and she still called him "Fourth Master"?
Never thought that title was an issue before, but listening now, it’s indeed strange.
"It was Tang teacher’s call." She explained with a smile, "Invited to see the screen tomorrow."
"What did you call just now?"
"I just..." Si Qingxiao pressed her lips tight, her title seems fine.
"We’re together, and you call Fourth Master, do you think it’s appropriate?" Jiang Chengsi leaned against the wall, staring at her, slightly squinting, "Between couples, shouldn’t there be special nicknas?"
His eyes seed windy, very warm.
His lips curled, slightly mischievous, hinting at a touch of wickedness.
