Chapter 2: Bar Wind and Clouds Seeking Pink

  "Xiao Qiao's popularity is indeed increasing by the day, look, that person on the edge must be over forty, yet they're also cheering so excitedly." I clicked my tongue.

  "If it weren't for him being someone else's property, I wouldn't be able to resist taking action against him." Ah Qiang's calm expression was as if she were discussing her own fingernails growing again.

  "Whose grass is this?" I called out in a low voice, and immediately reacted, "Oh..."

  I remembered what Cheng Qiao said when he helped me apply medicine at the bus station last time. It seems that A Qian and Mu Mu still don't know about Cheng Qiao's secret of pretending to be gay in school, they all think he really has a boyfriend, so I'll help him keep it a secret too.

  But I was shocked: "So Ah Qian you also have an interest in Xiao Qiao? Didn't you like strong men the most?"

  She gave me a glance: "Nonsense, such a handsome man, take him as a male concubine and enjoy it, do you think anyone can see him in this state now?"

  "Boyfriend?!" I almost shouted out loud, "How can you defile Xiao Qiao like this, even if it's a lifetime commitment, it should be one life, one world, one couple!"

  She fell silent for a moment: "How can you still... never mind, I was just thinking to myself. But haven't you noticed that even though these girls are dressed up so beautifully, Xiao Qiao didn't give them more than a glance? Unlike some people, whoever smiles at him, he immediately smiles back, it's like he doesn't know whether he's coming or going." The last part seemed to be casually directed at Tony.

  You're speaking so vaguely, if you don't make it clearer, how can that person understand the underlying meaning?

  I looked at Ah Qian with some blame: "You said it too seriously, Tony is not clear about our country's culture related to chickens and ducks, you can't bully foreign friends in front of me."

  As expected, Tony immediately looked bewildered: "Huh? Was Shanshan just talking about me? Yaoyao, tell me, does that duck have some other meaning?"

  I hastily covered my mouth as if I had misspoken and looked at him seriously: "Nonsense, you must have misunderstood."

  "He wouldn't let up: 'You can't bully our foreign friends!'"

  I pretended to hesitate and looked at A-Qing, who was staring at me with a blank expression. I said in a low voice: "Actually, what A-Qing means is that you always stick around her without doing anything, not working, not making money, it's really not like a man. Although we've successfully immigrated, but back in China, you don't have a house or a car, just like a duck, always swimming in the water without thinking about your future... I mean, how are you going to support her... I mean, support your wife?"

  "So that's how it is!" Tony suddenly realized, his eyes shining with excitement. "Qian Qian, why didn't you tell me about these things earlier..."

  I hummed in my heart, because A-Qian never thought of it at all.

  "Originally, my plan was to use the savings I had in France to open a dessert shop here, so that when you start school, I can send you different desserts every day. Normally, I can accompany you like this until you change your mind..."

  What did he say? Is he also opening a dessert shop here? Are you trying to steal my business on purpose?

  "I didn't expect that you had such high expectations of me, Shallow. Don't worry, I'll go and submit my resume to some big companies later. After all, I have a master's degree from Renmin University, and I'm fluent in five languages. Being the chief translator should be no problem..."

  I'm blacklisted, thanks for your special care, I really don't understand.

  "So shallow must wait for me. I will definitely get the property certificate with your name on it and the car purchase agreement as a betrothal gift to your home before you graduate!"

  So insightful? Knowing that women must have legal witnesses and constraints to feel secure?

  I was stunned, and Ah Qian's calm expression also relaxed a bit.

  I didn't expect to say such realistic and heartless words, but Tony didn't show any disappointment or embarrassment, instead he immediately burst out with a lot of motivational positivity. Not to mention whether he is successful in his career or not. Just this kind of intention is already very rare.

  I decided not to torment him: "Actually, I was just joking. Ah Qian doesn't lack your money, nor does she lack a car or a house, her parents have already prepared a dowry of a duplex apartment for her." I felt a bit resentful, where's the fairness? My parents only gave me a passbook with not many zeros in it. My mom happily explained that since I can earn my own money now, the dowry is equivalent to their travel expenses when they retire, it's simply blatant extortion! His expression turned serious: "No, Shallow is Shallow, and I am me, a man must have his own responsibilities."

  I let out an "oh" and said: "What's going on at Night Market Street? Another store is up for sale?"

  He was stunned for a moment and muttered: "Yaoyao, how did you change the subject so quickly? Qianqian hasn't responded yet..."

  "Look," I pointed at Aki's expressionless face, "this is an expression. Now, answer my question quickly."

  He sighed and lowered his head: "It's that bar called 'Don't Waste Your Youth' at the end."

  "What's with that bar?"

  "They're boss wants to immigrate to France with his son, so they won't be doing it anymore."

  "But many people have been eyeing that spot, how did you manage to get the boss to agree so easily?" I nodded slightly: "Because my dad is at the French embassy, he can help them with some procedures."

  "Ah, I see," said Ah Qian, tapping on the table. "That's a pity, I think the cocktails at that bar are quite good."

  I just wondered why Ah Qian was also so surprised, it turned out that she was just a little nostalgic for the cocktails there.

  Tony immediately lit up: "Shallow, you like it? Then I'll open a bar, I can get the contact information of that bartender!"

  "Shall we open a bar?" Ah Qian thought for a moment, "This idea doesn't seem bad, unless you agree to let me invest with you." He looked at her with some difficulty: "It's not quite right, men should support you..."

  Ah Shallow Dan's phoenix eyes slanted slightly, and he immediately nodded continuously: "Good good good, I'll listen to you!"

  "In a few days, after I've made arrangements, I'll still have to deal with my parents when I get home." Ah Qian smiled contentedly.

  "I'll go contact the boss first, see you later Shallow, see you later Yayo." Tony stood up with a serious face and sent another flirtatious glance at A Qingming before heading towards the stairs.

  As I saw that figure almost touching the ceiling gradually disappearing from my line of sight, I paused for a moment: "Tony's intentions towards you are truly unobjectionable. Anyway, since you're so concerned about him smiling at other girls, it shows your feelings for him still exist. Why don't you just yield to him?"

  Her expression didn't change, but her calm voice was tinged with melancholy: "It's not that easy. My parents are extremely conservative about this kind of thing. Right after my 18th birthday, they explicitly told me that they wouldn't accept a foreign son-in-law; otherwise, they would disown me."

  "Why didn't you say so earlier?" I was shocked, Ah Qian had never mentioned this matter to us before.

  "At first I forgot, then I didn't remember, just now when he mentioned coming to propose I remembered."

  "Ah, so Tony is completely out of the picture now?" I sighed regretfully. "What a pity, such a handsome guy! My parents and I especially love mixed-blood kids, they're simply the cutest species in the whole world."

  "It's not necessarily, when I have the ability to make money myself, at that time, seeing my own fragrant and soft great-grandchildren, my parents may unknowingly loosen their grip. Moreover," Ah Qian said with a calm face when mentioning "uncooked rice becomes cooked rice", but now her cheeks suddenly show a suspicious flush of red, "I also like mixed-blood children."

  I was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Ah Qian, you've calculated this too well! I've decided, I'm also going to find a foreign handsome guy, have a mixed-blood kid, so my parents can have something to play with when they're bored!"

  Asha suddenly opened her eyes wide with surprise and quickly turned her face towards the window.

  I wonder: "A Qian what are you doing?"

  She didn't react, and a clear male voice suddenly came from behind me.

  "Yao Yao," the voice sounds incredibly clear, soft and familiar, spoken at an extremely slow pace, one word at a time, gentle yet making my hair stand on end, "You said you want to have a mixed-blood child in the future?"
