Trial of the Date

  "How can I be wrong again? I think I did a good job today!" Tao Ce loudly retorted.

  "First of all, I'm asking you, do you think it's possible for a restaurant to be so stupid as to sell two cold dishes and give away ten big dishes?" Jiang Shaofei asked.

  Tao Ce hesitated for a moment before saying, "I met him today."

  "This is a business that's even more loss-making than a clearance sale, it's like you buy a rice cooker and they throw in a penthouse apartment for free, can you do something so stupid?"

  "Obviously it's not possible!"

  "With your IQ, you can't even accomplish it, how could those scoundrels succeed?"

  "It seems to be a principle too." He surprisingly nodded quite seriously, as if he had a deep understanding of his own IQ level.

  Jiang Shaofei couldn't help but roll her eyes, then pulled over her own chair to sit across from Tao Ce, propping up one leg and pointing at him with a finger: "When the goddess returned your clothes that time, what did you do when you got back?"

  "KFC take-out."

  "What's your reason for dating this time?"

  When asked the second question, Tao Ce also thought of something and immediately became dispirited, sitting there muttering an answer: "Help her wipe the car."

  Jiang Shaofei nodded and bent his third finger, asking him: "What did you do on the way to the date?"

  "Pick flowers, turn into ice in one second."

  "Yes, others who are in love will buy a bouquet of flowers to give to their goddess, but you're different, picking wildflowers by the roadside to give to your goddess, and even getting chased by the administrator all over the place." As he spoke, his words took another turn, and he asked again: "What happened when you took her out for dinner?"

  He drew circles on the ground with his shoe tip, then replied in a nearly choked tone: "Treat her to dinner, ordered two cold dishes, sent ten big dishes... and... a bottle of red wine."

  "You said you're not **silk**?"

  Tao Ce immediately threw herself into Jiang Shao Fei's arms, wailing and crying: "Brother Jiang, you have to stand up for me!"

  Jiang Shaofei saw Tao Ce and finally had a bit of an epiphany, then let out a sigh of relief. He stretched out his hand to pat Tao Ce's shoulder and said: "Although I still can't be certain why the goddess is approaching you, I just know that Fu Tianyao isn't someone easy to mess with. You'd best give up early on, it's not like you can't find a girlfriend."

  "But others like their goddess!"

  Jiang Shaofei's previous words were quite polite, but didn't get to the point at all. Unfortunately, these two goods Tao Ce didn't notice his hint and even replied with a straight face, making Jiang Shaofei so angry that he almost threw up the three meals of instant noodles in his stomach, letting Tao Ce take a good look at what flavors they were.

  "She's not the kind of person you should like." It's said that those who are involved are confused, while outsiders see things clearly. Jiang Shao Fei has a clear view of this matter and has the right to speak out about it. Seeing Tao Ce's body stiffen and his lips move as if he wants to say something, Jiang immediately interrupts him and says: "Your current position is that of a mistress, do you know that? Do you know that being a mistress is a profession with no future prospects? No job security, unstable working conditions, not to mention the risk of being caught and humiliated. Insurance companies don't even provide insurance for this occupation. And even if you were to be a mistress, it would be better to choose someone who is fat, ugly, and useless. But Fan Tian Yao is a well-known rich and handsome guy from school. Isn't it self-defeating for you to try to seduce his girlfriend? Even if their relationship is unstable, it doesn't change the fact that you are a mistress."

  This is a bit too much, saying that Tao Ce is like a narcissistic pretty boy. Someone like him who has no ambitions isn't interested in Pan Xiaoxiao's family background, but rather he just likes Pan Xiaoxiao's type, almost unconsciously falling for her. He's simple-minded, physically strong, with the most agile mouth muscles, speaking without thinking, spouting nonsense, to the point where he hasn't even carefully thought it through before trying to get close to Pan Xiaoxiao.

  Now that I think about it, he's really taking advantage of the situation. Seeing that Pei Tianyao and Pan Xiaoxiao's relationship is unstable, he wants to take a chance. If he succeeds, he might be able to win over the girlfriend; if not, he'll definitely get beaten up by Pei Tianyao.

  Tao Ce was speechless and choked back her emotions, leaning into Jiang Shao Fei's arms for a while before finally continuing the game.

  Pan Xiuxiu had just arrived home and excitedly went to the garage, taking her digital camera to take a photo of the tire that she and someone else had just wiped together. In the lens, only the lower half of the tire was shiny and particularly eye-catching.

  Then she took a photo of the flower that Tao Ce helped her pick, and then inserted it into her hair and took a few selfies, which can be considered as one of her rare self-loves.

  She took her camera into her darkroom to develop the photos and didn't come out until after 9 o'clock at night.

  She stuck the photos on the wall, looking at the silly smile in the photo, soon she felt like she was a bit abnormal, so she put all the photos away and put them in her drawer.

  Sat in front of the desk for a while again, then opened the computer, logged into his own online game, and found Tao Ce brushing the screen saying today's things.

  He told her everything Jiang Shao Fei had said to him, as well as his own thoughts, and she carefully read each word before finally rubbing her hair in distress and saying, "What can we do? He's going to think I'm shameless." At this time, Tao Ce still thought he was the third party, and his friends were not supportive of their relationship, which made things even more unfavorable.

  She thought she was saving Tao Ce money, but in fact the restaurant was keeping track of their expenses. They settled accounts once a month and never owed anything. She thought Tao Ce wasn't wealthy, so she wanted him to order two cheaper dishes and pay for everything else herself. Unexpectedly, this caused trouble instead.

  Tao Ce is a sharp-minded person, will he overthink things?

  However, looking at the content of his comments, they are all about complaining about himself, saying that he is unlucky for life and that his fate has been predetermined to be unlucky, without a single sentence saying she is not, obviously very protective of her.

  She opened the private message, staring at the blank input box, thinking about how to use this account to clear her own name by pretending to be a bystander. She had to do it flawlessly without being discovered by Tao Ce, while also dispelling Tao Ce's misunderstanding.

  "Maybe it's because that girl likes you so much that she did this?"

  She had just finished typing when her face turned bright red. She quickly deleted what she had written and typed: "Maybe that girl was just being kind?"

  Whispers: Peach Blossom One: Great God Brother, do you think she will mind that I'm a **silk?

  【Whisper】Cold eyes gaze: Won't you, if you despise me, why contact me?

  [Whisper] Peach Blossom: But when I think about it myself, I feel that what I'm doing is really great... am I beyond salvation?

  A whisper: Cold eyes gaze out: It's nothing, what friends care about is sincerity, not money.

  [Whisper] Peach Blossom: I hope you're doing well with Da Shen Ge, how's your relationship with Cui Cui?

  Whisper: Cold eyes gaze out: Hold on.
