"I’ll show you strength! I’ll show you strength——"
Wu Min started chasing Lin Li with a feather duster again, and after discovering Lin Li was still grinning fearlessly, she thought maybe using a robotic vacuum to hit him might be more effective.
Hmm... perhaps I should buy one.
...
The next afternoon.
"Beep beep! Beep beep! Lin Li, over here, over here——"
"Good afternoon, Brother Ziang."
"Good afternoon, good afternoon, get in, get in."
After lunch, Lin Li went downstairs at the agreed ti and successfully t up with Zeng Ziang.
By the way, why do people have a habit of repeating their words in such a relaxed and casual tone?
"Brother Ziang, you seem to have dressed up a bit today?"
After getting into the front passenger seat, Lin Li looked at Zeng Ziang, who had even done his hair, and joked, "It seems like your looks are even more striking than last month."
"After all, last ti was just to gain experience and try things out, but this ti it’s for so results." Zeng Ziang, slightly shy after being praised, scratched his head but couldn’t help asking excitedly, "Do I really look more handso?"
Lin Li: "Not really."
Zeng Ziang: "?"
"Didn’t you say my looks were more striking?" Zeng Ziang asked in confusion.
Lin Li: "Bro, I just feel like you’ve put on so weight this month."
"..."
Low EQ: Bro, you’ve turned into Bao Wei.
High EQ: Bro, your looks are more striking now.
"Who the heck taught you to interpret ’striking’ that way!" Zeng Ziang was a bit exasperated, then imdiately looked in the rearview mirror, pinching his cheeks a bit unsurely.
Does seem like I’ve gained a bit of weight.
But just a little, right...
"I’m just kidding, Brother Ziang," Lin Li said with a smile, "You look great, the hairstyle’s definitely a plus."
Zeng Ziang looked at Lin Li suspiciously, until Lin Li earnestly added a few more complints, making him breathe a slight sigh of relief.
Almost forgot what kind of person Lin Li is.
They drove towards the event location.
Lin Li casually opened the car’s middle storage compartnt, finding only a pack of tissues inside, and no black stockings this ti.
Zeng Ziang pretended not to notice the bond between Lin Li and the black stockings, and curiously asked:
"Lin Li, are you not using ’ngji’s Tear Bag’ this ti? Is that ’Shang Yang’ you?"
Zeng Ziang had only added Lin Li’s main account and not the secondary one. When he was invited to the event group, he paused for a mont after not seeing the familiar avatar of Tear Bag.
But then he noticed the suspected secondary account of Lin Li.
Nickna "Shang Yang", with a profile picture of "My Little Pony", featuring a group of five ponies.
A normal person wouldn’t play it like this.
"It’s ." Lin Li admitted directly.
"Why the change? You and your girlfriend..." Zeng Ziang cautiously chose his words, testing the waters.
Although Lin Li’s current profile pic and nickna seem like hell, compared to the previous "ngji’s Tear Bag", it’s definitely more normal.
So Zeng Ziang mulled it over and suspected that maybe Lin Li had relationship issues and was now genuinely looking for a mate.
"You’re overthinking it, Brother Ziang," Lin Li imdiately picked up on the words Zeng Ziang didn’t say, and laughed as he explained:
"On the contrary, compared to ’ngji’s Tear Bag’, this more plainly expresses my attitude towards matchmaking."
Zeng Ziang was taken aback: "Huh? What?"
Lin Li: "Like Shang Yang, I’m ’not single anymore’, isn’t that obvious at a glance?"
Actually, there’s more to it; mainly the "ngji’s Tear Bag" and "Tear Bag" nicknas and avatars got banned.
According to Sister Fan, who I bribed and who specialized in handling these matters, they received complaints from female mbers about the last event, so I’ve had to make myself appear more personable and not outright turn people away.
It’s likely that the banished halfway Bo Gang sister complained.
Unfortunately, this ti the tank wasn’t in the group chat.
Otherwise, Lin Li would’ve tried to see if she could send him a pair of underwear, so he wouldn’t have to buy a parachute for skydiving competitions anymore.
"..."
"..."
"Brother Ziang! There’s an intersection ahead! Don’t space out! Turn! Turn!" Lin Li yelled when he noticed it wasn’t just him zoning out.
"Bro, why is it always so dangerous riding with you!!" Lin Li couldn’t help but complain.
Zeng Ziang, snapping back to reality and adjusting the car, looked at his front passenger seat with a twitching mouth, silent for a long ti.
Finally, unable to hold back, he loudly complained, "What normal person? Who the heck can figure out that hint? There probably isn’t anyone!!"
"There is, bro, there is," Lin Li paused upon hearing this, and showed Zeng Ziang his phone:
"Do you rember the woman with the nickna ’XIXI’ in the group? She added last night, and the verification ssage was asking if I’m single."
Zeng Ziang: "(゜▽゜)?"
Seriously?
Soone actually managed to pick up on that aning???
Soone who can understand that isn’t normal, right...
How did they manage to be on the sa wavelength!!
"What did you reply to her?" Zeng Ziang shook his head, a complex expression on his face.
"At first, I thought of not accepting her friend request, worried she’d complain to the agency, but later she ntioned in her verification ssage that, like Brother Baiyu, she’s not interested in a relationship for now, forced by family this ti, and just intends to go through the motions.
So I added her and chatted for a bit, she said if I’m also not interested, we could just waste ti together this afternoon; she didn’t want to go through the process all over again and explain to people."
