Chapter 17 - Kissing Will Resume Later

“Is the Fengshui of our Xiaoxiao Noodle House very bad? Ever since the shop opened here, incidents have always occurred.”

Wang Guifang sighed when Yezi, Chen Yuanyuan, and Xu Wenting left, and stared at the empty restaurant.

Too many things had happened lately. The boss died in a car accident, and following that, the shop was messed up. The boss’ wife ended up in the hospital after that. And today…

Xiao Bing clapped his hands and gathered everyone around. He said seriously, “Please trust me. The Xiaoxiao Noodle House will be a blessed place. It is said that good fortune follows upon disaster, and disaster lurks within good fortune. The end of disaster is the beginning of good fortune.”

Zhang Jing laughed, “Brother Bing, was that your girlfriend, the little beauty who comes every day?”

“Not yet…”

Zhang Jing laughed, “Not yet? but you’re even going on a date tonight. She’s the campus belle, yet you’ve got her so quickly. Brother Bing, you’re really something.”

Xiao Bing smiled and didn’t deny it. He felt happy when he thought about tonight’s date.

The customers were arriving in waves despite the incident. Xiao Bing got busy working together with the others till evening, when Yezi suddenly appeared at the front door. She waved at Xiao Bing, with a lovely face.

Xiao Bing stopped working and said goodbye to the staff. While walking towards the road with Yezi, he asked, “Why didn’t Xu Wenting and Chen Yuanyuan follow you this time?”

“You idiot. Today is our date. Why would they come here as third wheels?”

Xiao Bing smiled and said, “Are you saying that we’re on a date tonight? I thought that was only for couples.”

Yezi looked at Xiao Bing and realized that she had been tricked. She laughed, “You usually look so honest, but it turns out that you are also so cunning… You want me to be your girlfriend so easily? Not a chance.”

Xiao Bing also laughed when he had heard what Yezi said. Just like Zhang Yizhi said, over the years he had no lack of women beside him, some of them even admired and chased him. But he never took any one of them as his girlfriend!

None of them had made him want to chase them!

Yezi was the first one!

The only one!

Xiao Bing looked at Yezi and said with a smile, “Let’s go and have a romantic dinner, then let’s go see a movie.”

“Great!” Yezi cracked a smile, “I’m all yours.”

Xiao Bing took out two movie tickets and laughed, “I’ll take you to watch the new movie ‘Running Holiday’”.

Yezi was staring at the tickets in Xiao Bing’s hand with widely open eyes, her eyelashes long and lustrous.

Xiao Bing smiled, “Don’t look at me like that. These are Yu Hao’s tickets. I took them. He already paid for it anyway. I don’t think he’ll have the mood to watch a movie today after what had happened. Let’s just take it.”

Yezi smiled wryly, “Use the tickets he paid for, to date the girl he likes. Brother Bing, you’re really something.”

“Haha, so, do you want to go together with me?”

“Sure, why not?” Yezi lifted her chin proudly.

Xiao Bing smiled darkly, “In that case, does that mean you’re willing to go on a date with me? Ouch!”

Yezi ruthlessly pinched Xiao Bing’s arm and groaned, “You’re really pretending to be a victim after taking advantage of me. What I want to do is to watch the movie. Want to date me? No way! Hmph.”

Xiao Bing looked at the lovely Yezi. He smiled and stretched out his hand, hailing a taxi. He turned around and smiled, “I’m not from a rich family. I can only take you on a taxi. Are you fine with that?”

Yezi got into the car first. She snorted, “Do you think I’m a gold digger?”

“Of course not.” Xiao Bing sat beside Yezi and told the driver, “Driver, please take us to Wanda Plaza.”

“Sure. You guys are college couples right, are you on a date?”

“Yes, Brother Driver. You really have a good eye.” Xiao Bing couldn’t help praising him. Yezi pinched him on the waist. His face twisted with pain.

Yezi snorted, “Brother Driver, are your eyes really that bad? Don’t you think that he’s too old to be a college student?”

The driver looked back at Xiao Bing and laughed, “You do look older than your age. Hahaha!”

Yezi snickered beside Xiao Bing, who looked on helplessly.

The car stopped at the crowded square. The driver looked back and said to Xiao Bing, who finished and was ready to get off. “Brother, a piece of advice for you. You should dress up yourself properly since you’re on a date. You don’t have to wear famous brands, but at least wear something tidy and clean. Look at you. You are even messier than me, a taxi driver.”

Xiao Bing felt very embarrassed. So many things had happened recently that Xiao Bing did not had time to buy any new clothes. He realized that the clothes he wore were the same as the ones he had when he went to Africa for his mission. They were indeed a little shabby. He agreed with the driver and thought that he needed to pay more attention to his appearance if he wanted to find a girlfriend.

Wanda Plaza was the most prosperous area in Jinsha District. There were all kinds of food, drink, and entertainment. Ever since he had got the Jiangcheng City, Xiao Bing had been too busy to look around. While they walked, Yezi pointed to the front and said, “Wanda Cinema is on the fourth floor of Wanda Plaza. I’ll go shopping for some new clothes with you, and then we’ll go for dinner.”

Yezi was really tactful. She said “with you”, not “for you”, which preserved his dignity perfectly. From the way she said it, it wasn’t hard to tell that she was a girl who cared about the feeling of others.

The third floor of Wanda Plaza sold men’s clothes. Xiao Bing saw Yezi in a new light. The clothes here were not very expensive yet kept up with fashion.

“Brother Bing, what do you think about clothes in that store? I feel that they’re quite suitable for you.”

It was a navy-blue shirt Yezi was talking about. Yezi took Xiao Bing in and pointed to the shirt, saying to the sales girl nearby, “Take one of these and pick a size that fits him. Let him try it on first. Oh, on second thought, take that pair of pants too. Try them together.”

The salesgirl smiled and said, “Miss, you’ve really got an eye. This shirt is very popular this summer, and lots of people like it. Your boyfriend will look great in it. Please wait, I’ll go find the right size for him.”

Yezi looked at Xiao Bing and asked, “Brother Bing, do you like it?”

Xiao Bing looked at her with a gentle smile and said softly, “I’ll like anything that you choose.”

Yezi heart skipped a bit, and she broke off eye contact. The atypical shyness of Yezi made Xiao Bing breath hitch. He couldn’t help stepping forward to close the distance between them. It was so close that Xiao Bing could even feel Yezi’s sweet breath.

Xiao Bing gulped when his gaze fell on Yezi’s red lips. Yezi looked at Xiao Bing with her eyes wide. She saw Xiao Bing get closer and closer. Their lips almost touched…

“Sir, your clothes.”

The salesgirl walked over with the clothes at an unfortunate time.

The two people hurriedly moved back. Xiao Bing took a long breath and thought, ‘Holy shit, I haven’t felt this in my whole military career. How could I have been so nervous just now… It was even more nerve-racking than peeking at the princess of Ying in her bath.’

Xiao Bing was about to take the clothes the salesgirl gave him when Yezi grabbed him and walked out, “I’ve changed my mind. We won’t get it.”

Shit… Xiao Bing couldn’t comprehend what was happening before he got dragged out by Yezi. Obviously, the salesgirl didn’t get it either. When she finally came around to her senses, she shouted angrily, “What kind of people are you? If you can’t afford the clothes, you could’ve just told me! To not buy it without even trying, that really pisses me off!”

Xiao Bing showed a wry smile after being pulled out by Yezi, “Come on, boss. How can you change your mind so fast? The salesgirl must be unhappy.”

“Why should I care if she’s happy or not?” Yezi looked Xiao Bing, “Do you like her?”

“No way.” Xiao Bing didn’t know whether he should be happy or not, “How could I like her? I didn’t even see her face clearly.”

“Anyway, there are so many other clothing stores in the mall. I’ll take you to other ones.”

Yezi happily skipped in front of Xiao Bing. He smiled and shook his head. This girl was becoming more mysterious now.

Five stores later, they finally got their eyes on another set of clothes. Yezi’s eyes brightened in surprise when Xiao Bing came out from the changing room, and so did the salesgirl who stood besides her.

It was said that clothes maketh the man. It was not obvious with the previous shabby clothes he was wearing, but Xiao Bing appeared more handsome and manly after changing into new ones. The attractive charm of a mature man was really irresistable.

The sharp edges of his face and confidence from his eyes made him look like mature.

“Sir, you look really handsome in this,” praised the salesgirl sincerely.

Yezi was stunned for a few seconds before the salesgirl’s compliment woke her up. She cracked into a smile and said, “We’ll take it.”
