81: I've Dated Plenty of Women in the Past

“I agree. Shi Shaochuan can’t be compared to Oppa Long here. Tianze can beat him to a pulp within seconds. When we were younger, Tianze had put in a great ton of effort on Qingyue. It’s a shame she did not reciprocate,” said Ling Ciye as he sat cross-legged and began browsing through a book.

Long Tianze pushed him playfully and said, “Mind your words, what do you mean I put in a great ton of effort on Qingyue? You’re making it sound like I was in love with her.”

Ling Ciye closed the book he was holding and looked up. “Hey, that wasn’t what I meant at all, you’re the one who’s overthinking it, yet you’re blaming me. However, you’re my best buddy whom I grew up with, and I can’t help but worry for you. You’re already this old and you still don’t have a proper girlfriend. All you do is date random girls frivolously, to put up a front. Seriously, when do you plan to lose your chastity?”

Amused by his words, An Xiaoning almost choked and spat her milk out.

Long Tianze began to blush in embarrassment while still trying to defend himself. “I’ve dated plenty of women in the past. More than you can count with your fingers and toes.”

“Yeah, right. That’s what you always say. We know. Point is, when are you going to lose your virginity?”

Long Tianze closed his eyes and pretended to fall asleep.

“You’re always like this. Strangely, you haven’t been meeting those models lately,” said Ling Ciye.

“Who said so? I’ll bring a prettier one tonight, just you wait and see.”

“Sure, I’ll see if she’s really that gorgeous, then.”

It began to snow heavily in the evening, causing the temperature to drop even lower, as if it wasn’t already cold enough.

Seeing that there were no more potential customers on the street, Mei Yangyang packed up and closed the store, leaving Xu Jingwen and Zhang Li to watch over it.

As soon as she arrived home by bus, she was greeted with the sight of a spread of dishes on the table, prepared by her father. “Shuangshuang came home this afternoon and asked me for money. I didn’t give her any, so she threw a tantrum and left angrily.”

“She doesn’t take her studies seriously, and her attendance in university is so poor. All she does is fool around outside all day. If she doesn’t wish to continue studying, then she should just get a job, it’s at least better than wasting her life away like this. She’s not getting any younger either.”

“It’s not like she listens to us. We can’t quite interfere with her matters anymore now that she’s all grown up. Actually, she could also stay at home to take care of your mother while I go out to work to earn some money. That’ll help lighten your burden. I feel really bad that you have to shoulder the burden of providing for the family all by yourself,” sighed Mr. Mei.

Mei Yangyang picked up her chopsticks and said in response, “I’m currently working at Sis Xiaoning’s clothing store and it’s really great. Sis Xiaoning is so nice to me, and she treats me like her actual sister. Never once has she ill-treated or taken advantage of me. Father, don’t worry too much, just focus on taking care of Mother. I’m earning enough to support our family and foot Mother’s medical bills too.”

“That’s not my main concern, but rather, you’ve already grown up and you’re of a marriageable age now. I’m just afraid we will become a heavy burden to you and your potential future husband. He would have to provide for not only you but us too.”
