Chapter 4 — That Person Came From The Age Of 30

A light laugh sounded from the top of my head, as if my head was also gently patted. I was about to say something when the phone suddenly rang. He looked at the screen, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, then looked up at me. “I have something urgent right now. Can I call you back tonight?” I nodded, the two quickly exchanged phone numbers, and it wasn't until his figure disappeared around the corner that I looked back. Reciting the new number in my head, my heart felt like it was soaking in a jar of sweet honey. 【I didn't expect the young master to be afraid of his wife. His fiancee called him and immediately ran back.】 【Of course, they are the main couple, the young master pampers his wife very much!】 Before meeting Ha Lang again, I had many questions to ask him. Why change the number? Why did he suddenly disappear without a word? Why have you never contacted me again? Obviously, obviously I never changed my number... But those comments suddenly woke me up after many days of confusion. Mu Tieu Tieu, who do you think you are! All day long I've been dreaming of swan meat, wanting to eat swan meat! The next day, I followed the map to the meeting place with Ha Lang. What about his house? I stood outside the door, hesitantly ringing the bell. Almost as soon as I pressed the button, the door immediately opened. “You're here!” The cool smell of citrus and steam rushed straight into my face. Transparent drops of water followed the firm chest and rolled down to the toned abs, then disappeared into the gray sweatpants. When I realized what I was looking at, I immediately turned away and covered my eyes. “You… you quickly put on your shirt!” Unexpectedly, he was even more flustered than me. The sound of chaotic footsteps echoed behind him. “Don't like it… oh no… sorry… I just finished showering…” “… Not attractive enough…” I covered my hot face, not daring to answer, only vaguely hearing a few mumbles. 【Hahaha young master is practicing how to seduce the cloud treasure! To be honest, I immediately fell in love with this body ~】 【Don't worry, this rattan treasure is my favorite, one word and I'll be hooked!】 【This supporting role is a fluke...】 My heart rate almost immediately stabilized. Ha Lang finished changing his clothes, gave me a can of apple juice, then casually sat down next to me and turned on the TV. I couldn't sit still, moved slightly, turned around to look at him. “This time… what do you want to learn more?” He propped his chin, tilted his head and looked at me for a moment before opening his mouth: "How are your English speaking skills now?" I paused: "I've been practicing every day for more than a year. I've definitely improved a lot more than before." He nodded, arbitrarily switched to the international channel, pointing to the English news on the screen. “Read it to me.” In that moment, it seemed like I was back to that sweltering afternoon in 11th grade. The only difference is, the person on the other end of the phone was now sitting right next to me, close enough to touch, looking calmly at me. I was so nervous that I kept swallowing saliva, familiar vocabulary became unfamiliar, and after reading with stuttering, I bowed my head and waited for him to criticize me. “Um, the accents are all right, it's just… am I that scary?” I reflexively nodded, then shook my head again: "It's just... I'm a little nervous." I took a deep breath, read it again, and seeing him nod made me feel happier. “So with this level, you can participate in the English speech contest Are not?" I have kept the admission notice for that contest for a long time. The prize money is attractive but makes people hesitate. His eyes moved to the TV screen, his voice calm but firm: "Practice a little more, winning the prize will be as easy as turning your hand." The lowest prize for a university-level English speech contest is ten thousand yuan or more... My mind was spinning, and by the time I could react, I had already registered for the contest with Ha Lang's encouragement. As for "more practice"... "This part must connect sounds, read it again after me..." "Last year's theme was 'circle', try to think about how to understand it..." "Imagine you are standing on stage, there are all cabbages below, don't avoid your eyes..." Cabbage, all cabbage... My eyes steadfastly looked straight at the biggest cabbage in the middle of the auditorium, when the last sound sounded, all around those cabbages all... spread out in unison. leaves. I stood on stage, listening to waves of applause rolling down the stage, my heart pounding, my eyes burning. At that moment, whether or not I won the prize was no longer important. The girl who was once laughed at and did not dare to speak English, now stood proudly in front of thousands of people in the large hall, completing her speech in English. That alone is enough to be proud of. 【Ha Lang, I received the reward! Please come eat!】 Ha Lang didn't seem surprised at all, sending me a photo of a plate of fragrant oil-fried crayfish. 【The food is ready, just waiting for you to arrive.】 When I arrived, the pungent aroma rushed straight into my nose, Ha Lang stood in the kitchen, wearing an apron shaped like a baby bear, holding a shovel in her hand to stir the food. The first time I saw him like this, I couldn't help but take a closer look a few more times. Unexpectedly, Ha Lang suddenly turned around in front of me, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Isn't it beautiful?" Let me take a closer look.” My face suddenly became hot. It wasn't until I sat at the table and drank a few sips of ice water that the temperature on my face dropped a bit. Ha Lang picked up two cans of cold beer and placed them on the table, glancing at the steaming crayfish plate: "Why don't you eat it, don't you like this dish the most?" I raised my head in bewilderment: "Huh?" I have never eaten crayfish before. 【Bai Boi May wants to cry, her favorite is spicy lobster!】 【But since when did the young master know how to cook? Is it because of Bao Boi May that he goes to school?】 【The young master even hired someone to taste it first for Bao Boi May, so caring!】 Sure enough, Ha Lang looked away, pretended to take a sip of beer, then gave me the remaining beer. “This dish is a bit spicy, drink this to relieve it.” The cold water from the beer can wets my hands, it's sticky and cold. Ha Lang's cooking skills are surprisingly good, just the first bite surprised me. I drank the entire can of ice water, and the other can of beer remained untouched. Finally, two empty beer cans were piled up in front of Ha Lang. He collapsed on the table, half-drunk. I gently pulled his sleeve: "Go lie down on the sofa, let me clean up this place." Ha Lang raised his head, looked at me with vague eyes for a long time, then suddenly leaned over and leaned against me. “I'm so tired, please take me away.” I staggered and almost couldn't help myself. It took me a long time to drag him onto the sofa. My head also started to smoke. “Why is it so heavy... I only drink two cans of beer and I'm still so drunk... Ha Lang, get on the sofa, quickly let go.” As soon as the words ended, the arms around my waist tightened, my vision was suddenly occupied by Ha Lang's red face. My face turned red, I struggled and kicked, until suddenly a few drops of cool water fell down my neck. “Don't move, let me hug you for a bit.” A choked sob crept into my ears, I hesitantly patted his back. The smell of alcohol lingered on my neck... Obviously I didn't drink, why did I feel like I was drunk? "I miss you so much... my wife, my wife..." 【Oh my god, the young master got the wrong person!】 【Just a few days ago, I was arguing with Bao Boi May, and now I miss my wife like this!】 【The real wife doesn't have one, but the replacement is full!】 My ears are ringing. Who is he... taking me for? I woke up, almost crawled and ran out of that room. I started avoiding Ha Lang. The phone went unanswered, the text messages were vague, and when I saw his back, I immediately turned around and went the other way. “The handsome guy out there doesn't know who he's waiting for, he's been standing all morning.” “Probably angered my girlfriend, she's asking for forgiveness.” Thien Thien decorated the cake and chatted with me while looking out the window. "Hey Tieu Tieu, don't wipe anymore, you've wiped off several layers of the cashier counter."
