Bamboo horse teases green plum 06 Who takes it seriously, who loses

  Whoever takes it seriously will lose.

  At noon, Secretary Wang brought a large stack of documents in and placed them on Bai Ming's desk, quietly reminding the man who was still working with his head down.

  "Mayor Bai, it's time for dinner."

  "Bring it in." Bai Ming didn't raise his head.

  Wang Secretary responded with a sound, turned around and said to Pei Yue, "Lawyer Pei, I'll take you to the cafeteria."

  Before Pei Yue could answer, a cold voice sounded from behind Secretary Wang.

  "Pei lawyer, report to me on the case you're handling while we eat."

  "I'll have someone send over two portions of lunch." Wang's secretary was a perceptive and understanding one.

  "Uh-huh."

  Wang the secretary hastily retreated, fearing that staying one more second would ruin his superior's good deed. As early as that day when Bai Ming let him go after Pei Yue, he had sensed it - this person's relationship with the mayor was not simple. A woman who could make the icy Mayor Bai react so violently couldn't be an ordinary woman; even if you killed him, he wouldn't believe it.

  Lunch was quickly served, four dishes and one soup, but they were not exotic delicacies, just some ordinary dishes.

  Bai Ming is a rich young master who used to be very particular about food. As a teenager, he would take his friends to high-end restaurants and spend tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands on a casual meal. Can he swallow these foods in front of him?

  Pei Yue was perplexed, but the man had already picked up his chopsticks and started eating, and he seemed to be savoring the food.

  Pei Yue couldn't help but look at him with new eyes. It's easy for a person to go from simple to luxurious, but it's hard to go from luxurious to simple.

  She thought that a man as arrogant and overbearing as him would eventually inherit his mother's business and become a legendary figure in the business world. But instead, he gave up being a young master and came to be a hardworking government official.

  It seems that in twelve years, not only have I changed, but he has also changed a lot, becoming someone who is no longer the Bai Ming she used to know.

  Pei Yue was sipping her soup and thinking about how to persuade Bai Ming to transfer her back to the law firm when the phone rang.

  "Blue cloud fly! ? Ah, hello, long time no see."

  ……

  "What? Tomorrow's classmate gathering? How come so suddenly?"

  ……

  "Alright!"

  ……

  "Uh! Bring family members? Sweat, I don't have any!"

  ……

  "Hmph, Lan Yunfei, you're making me happy again. I don't have a boyfriend and I wouldn't dare trouble the school's most popular guy..."

  Bai Ming, who had been eating with his head down all along, unexpectedly snatched her phone and put it to his ear.

  "Hey, Lan Yunfei, I'm Pei Yue's man. Time and address have been sent over, we'll be there on time!"

  Bai Ming briefly and concisely finished speaking, then casually hung up the phone.

  After a morning of devoted work, Pei Yue's dissatisfaction had faded a lot, but Bai Ming's self-righteous actions and words were like a lit match thrown into a pile of dry hay soaked in kerosene, and with a "whoosh" the flames on her heart suddenly surged high.

  "Bai Ming, have you gone mad? What nonsense are you spouting in front of my classmates?"

  Pei Yue glared at Bai Ming, suddenly standing up and leaning forward, wanting to grab back her own phone.

  Bai Ming casually put her phone into his own pocket, then picked up the tea and took a sip, looking up at her.

  "I'm not talking nonsense, it's been confirmed in kindergarten that I'm your man! And it was you who personally admitted it."

  Pei Yue collapsed back onto the sofa, almost suffocated by him!

  Time traveled back twenty-five years ago, when Bai Ming was five years old and Pei Yue was three years old.

  In the past, both Bai Dada and Pei Dada were officials in L City Hall. The two families lived in the same residential area for city hall officials. The Bai family and the Pei family lived in opposite buildings, with each set of parents busy at work during the day, leaving the two grandmothers to take care of the children. Every day, the doors between the households were open, and the several children were raised together without distinction between whose house was whose.

  This situation of no distinction between you and me is reflected in the fact that Xiao Bai Ming often eats at Pei's dinner table, while Xiao Pei Yue also often sleeps soundly on Bai Ming's bed.

  Bai Ming went to kindergarten two years earlier than Pei Yue, and when Pei Yue was three years old and started going to kindergarten, on the first day in the morning, he walked into the Pei's home with a small backpack.

  "Grandma Pei, I'm here to pick up Little Yue for school."

  A five-year-old boy with a neat and tidy flat head, sturdy and robust, is the local little overlord. He takes the little girl to the government kindergarten just tens of meters away from the big yard. Grandma Pei doesn't think there's anything wrong with that.

  The three-year-old little girl jumped off the sofa and put her small white hand into Baiming's hand.

  The boy pulled Xiao Yu out of the door, and the two little guys held hands and jumped to the school gate. The boy suddenly pulled Pei Yue, his bright eyes wandering around on Xiao Yu's body.

  The little girl was wearing white socks and black leather shoes, a white dress, with two braids on her head tied up with beautiful pink bows, this outfit set off the little girl's delicate and pretty face, just like a little princess.

  As he watched, the little boy furrowed his brow. It turned out that he was afraid that his delicate and weak little princess would be bullied by others. His small hand scratched his head in distress for a while, thinking to himself that he was a little overlord in kindergarten and no one dared to bully him. So, he bent down and said to the little girl.

  "Xiao Yue, when you're in kindergarten, remember to tell others that I, Bai Ming, am your man. That way, no one will dare bully you."

  Five-year-old Bai Ming was still a little kid, where did he understand the concept of men and women? He simply often saw his dad say "I am your man" to his mom with that expression and aura, so super cool and masculine. So, he thought, he was naturally Xiao Yue's man.

  Three-year-old Pei Yue didn't understand any of this and obediently nodded her head.

  So in order not to be bullied, "Bai Ming is my boyfriend" this sentence, Pei Yue that silly girl spread it out of her own mouth countless times in kindergarten.

  Now thinking about it, Pei Yue felt her face burning with embarrassment.

  "Bai Ming, at that time we were just kids, and what kids say are all jokes, how can you take it seriously?"

  Bai Yueshen argued that she couldn't blame Bai Ming for misleading her at the time, but only blamed herself for being ignorant at the time!

  "You can think whatever you want, but I'm being serious!"

  His expression remained indifferent, but his tone was "You've done something wrong and you have to take responsibility for it".

  Pei Yue was thoroughly convinced by Bai Ming.

  "Mayor Bai, those trivial matters, I've forgotten them all."

  Bai Ming raised an eyebrow, and his normally expressionless face finally showed a hint of emotional change.

  "It's okay if you forgot, I'll help you remember bit by bit!"

  It was probably Pei Yue's words that displeased Bai Ming, and the two had a very silent lunch. Bai Ming didn't ask any questions about the case, while Pei Yue wanted to apply for a transfer back to the law firm but hesitated several times before swallowing his words.

  Some words are better left unsaid, and it's more practical to keep quiet and warm your belly.

  The awkward atmosphere between the two lasted until the end of work, with Bai Ming still having a pile of documents on his desk that hadn't been touched, apparently needing to be finished with overtime, while Pei Yue packed up her things and left on time.

  It wasn't until she returned to her own home - a small one-bedroom apartment she had rented to escape her mother's matchmaking attempts, which occurred N times a week - that it was evening.

  Washed my face, went to the kitchen to cook a bowl of noodles, finished eating and cleaning up, then took a refreshing bath. Pei Yue's empty blood vessels finally returned to normal, feeling refreshed and energized, I opened my computer and got online.

  Due to the special nature of her work, her QQ is always set to invisible mode, and she has set up keyword filtering for several groups. As soon as she goes online, her university group pops out with hundreds of messages.

  ……

  "Fly, you said Pei Yue is going to bring her boyfriend this year?"

  "Really? Our school flower has finally found a man who appreciates her?"

  "Fly, your glass heart, shattered all over the place?"

  ……

  As she scrolled through her mouse, glancing at the gossip news related to herself one by one, Pei Yue's stomach began to ache slightly.

  Later on, about the other half of the department flower, curious classmates from guessing to starting betting, betting on what profession the man who moved the eyes of the department flower that had not been moved in five years at university was, whether he was a handsome guy or an ugly eight, or a rich second generation or a poor light egg...

  Pei Yuesu had no idea that her lovely classmates were so concerned about her lifelong affairs, to the extent that it was almost as much as her mother's. She slightly imagined the commotion reaction that would be caused by Bai Ming accompanying herself to attend the alumni gathering tomorrow, and not only her stomach but also her temples hurt severely.

  Forget it, I won't go tomorrow!

  Pei Yue hesitated back and forth, but finally steeled herself and decided that tomorrow she would play hooky and not attend the class reunion.

  She took out her phone and looked up Lan Yunfei's number in the phone book, just as she was about to press the call button, the phone suddenly rang, displaying "Bai Dahuangdan" on the screen.

  Gritting my teeth and staring at the name that keeps flashing on the screen, it's all because of you, Bai Ming, you big idiot, ruining my chance to attend tomorrow's class reunion.

  "Hey." Pei Yue spoke up with a bad tone.

  "I have a business trip tomorrow and won't be able to accompany you to the alumni gathering."

  "Oh, it's okay, I'll just go myself." Pei Yue shouted in her heart, but she tried to make her voice sound calmer.

  Not getting a response from Bai Ming, Pei Yue thought he was feeling guilty and continued.

  "This matter has nothing to do with you in the first place, so don't feel sorry."

  Bai Ming remained silent as usual, and this time he even hung up the phone directly. Pei Yue could guess why he hung up his own phone, but she was telling the truth.

  Digression

  A bamboo with plenty of momentum came and let out two loud roars:
