Chapter 441 Yu Xi is Very Kind
Jun Ting’s deep-set eyes narrowed slightly, "Dare to finish all these drinks?""Ha!"
Yuan Yumeng let out a light laugh, "What’s there to be afraid of? If it weren’t you trying to make things difficult for me today, some other boss would do the same in the future. Actually, thinking about it, it’s not that bad. At least with this experience, I won’t panic next time. As the saying goes, failure is the mother of success."
"Those who learn from experience are smart people."
Jun Ting raised an eyebrow, "Are you praising your own intelligence?"
The hand Yuan Yumeng used to pour wine paused slightly, "I suppose I’m not too dumb, anyway, since I started school I’ve been getting awards every year. I also got the scholarships I should have in college. God didn’t give me a good looking face, but at least I’ve got a decent brain."
Jun Ting suddenly sneered, "Right, someone who’s not even aware of offending their boss is truly clever."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Yumeng quickly realized he was referring to her dismissive expression when the manager left earlier...
"I know!"
"But I feel it’s mutual. I did offend my boss, but at the same time, he should also know I’m not the kind of female employee who likes to be called out to drink casually."
"Doesn’t this stop it from happening next time?"
"..."
Jun Ting had to admit she was indeed not stupid; on the contrary, she was quite smart. Especially when she spoke, she exuded a sense of wisdom.
This confidence made her quite noticeable, and she looked... not that hard to look at.
At least, the two small dimples on her smile were somewhat cute.
When Jun Ting realized he was staring at her, he immediately turned his head to look elsewhere, "I heard from Yu Xi that you’ve moved out. Could I ask why?"
Yuan Yumeng didn’t expect Yuan Yuqi to tell him so quickly, it seemed they really had reached a point where nothing was left unsaid between them.
"Yeah, I... want to be independent."
"All done now, can we start drinking? After I have to go home and review my lessons, no time to waste."
Jun Ting was a bit surprised, "Review what lessons?"
"Anything goes, just reviewing what I learned before, the trick of refreshing old knowledge really works."
This answer left Jun Ting a bit shocked. He had always assumed that in their spare time, girls were either figuring out how to dress up or watching some brainless Korean dramas, but he didn’t expect her to be so different.
"Weren’t you the one who said you were smart?"
Yuan Yumeng unconsciously picked up a glass of wine on the table and already started drinking, "There aren’t that many smart people in the world, most of them are just more diligent than others. Like me... I know I’m not good-looking, so to survive in this society I have to be very, very, very diligent..."
"Take this interview for example. Among so many pretty girls, it was because I was the most professional that the manager had to hire me!"
"Hey! Why are we chatting? Aren’t we supposed to be drinking? Hurry up, drink!"
Strangely enough, the more she drank, the more she wanted to drink, it seemed to taste better and better!
Jun Ting watched as the girl drank glass after glass and did not stop her, as he had forgotten to do so, inexplicably feeling a bit shaken by her.
However, he still disliked her unkempt appearance, her rough movements, and her blunt manner of speaking...
Altogether she seemed like a rather bulky... man.
Before long, Yuan Yumeng was slightly drunk, she looked at the serious man across her and laughed, "Mr. Huo, I think I’m drunk, I can’t drink anymore, I’m leaving now, bye-bye!"
"Where do you live? I’ll send you home."
"Uh, no need, no need." Yuan Yumeng quickly waved her hand, "That would be too much for me, I can get back by myself."
After speaking, Yuan Yumeng took out her phone to call a taxi, unexpectedly, Ye Zheng called her at this moment...
She answered in her drunken state, "Beauty Ye, what’s up?"
Sitting beside her, Jun Ting saw her eyes light up, biting her fingers subconsciously, looking especially cute and docile, without the confrontational air, more like a kitten waiting to be petted.
Who is Beauty Ye?
"I’m just about to come back, don’t lock the door, I haven’t had time to copy the key."
"Oh! You’re coming to pick me up? No, no need."
"..."
"Yeah, I did drink, but I’m very safe-looking, nothing will happen, at most I’ll lose a bit of money."
"No, no, you don’t come out, you’re more at risk. Really, I’m telling you nowadays people really... you stay put!"
Ye Zheng usually doesn’t insist on things, but once he insists, others have no power to resist. For instance, Yuan Yumeng now, not long after, she surrendered and obediently disclosed her location.
Then waited quietly for him to come pick her up.
After the call, Yuan Yumeng cupped her face in her hands, sweet smile on her face, "Oh my! Beauty Ye really is tsundere, how is he so nice and I happened to meet him!"
Jun Ting naturally didn’t understand these internet words, especially since Yuan Yumeng spoke softly and unclearly, he naturally misheard "nice" as "nice uncle".
So, Beauty Ye is a man...
Moreover, he’s a man who makes her heart flutter, otherwise she wouldn’t show such a star-struck look.
He was eager to see what kind of odd figure this Beauty Ye was!
Soon, Yuan Yumeng quickly returned to her normal, strong demeanor, "Mr. Huo, my friend will come to pick me up soon, so you can be reassured and leave first."
"Your... friend?"
"Yes!" Yuan Yumeng didn’t think much, "A roommate I rent with, he’s a particularly good person, so you can head back!"
Jun Ting’s expression suddenly changed a bit, "You’re living with a man?"
Yuan Yumeng was a little flustered, "Um, is that a problem? Anyway, I look very safe, plus he’s also..."
Oh, that’s someone else’s privacy, she can’t just reveal it.
"Anyway, I’m very safe, extremely safe, absolutely safe."
"I’ll go wait outside and let the cold wind sober me up a bit."
With that said, Yuan Yumeng got a bit wobblingly up from the sofa. Jun Ting, seeing her unsteady, immediately reached out to help. As soon as he grasped her sturdy arm, his expression became a bit strange, "Just how fat are you!"
He couldn’t even wrap his hand around her arm.
Upon hearing that, Yuan Yumeng’s heart twinged slightly, and she immediately shook off his hand, "No matter how fat I am, it’s none of your business, Mr. Huo."
"As long as Yu Xi isn’t fat, right?"
"..."
Jun Ting’s gaze darkened slightly, "Don’t compare yourself with Yu Xi. Were you often fighting with her for things at home before?"
Yuan Yumeng was puzzled, what was he implying, why was it her fighting with Yuan Yuqi?
"Mr. Huo, I don’t understand."
Jun Ting wore an indifferent expression, "Yu Xi is very kind, I hope you can give way to her a little. Your excellent grades always made her feel inferior; many things you like, she actually likes too, but she habitually lets you have them."
At this moment, the hole in Yuan Yumeng’s heart deepened, "Did she tell you that?"
