These selective truths basically run through the lives of ordinary people like us.
Only those in high positions with broad horizons can glimpse so truths.
Of course, there’s no need to discuss this with two young girls who just finished their college entrance exams; mocking their narrow range of knowledge is unnecessary.
Back in the day, Sun Dasheng’s knowledge was narrower than theirs.
At least now with the rise of mobile internet,
They know a lot more than high school students did in Sun Dasheng’s era.
Tis are always progressing, after all.
Each generation is better than the last.
"Handso Uncle, you know so much, even more than our teachers," Cui Linglong started to admire him a bit.
Sun Dasheng quickly stopped her from getting lovey-dovey.
"You’re overthinking it. How could I possibly know more than your teachers? You think they don’t understand these things? They just don’t want you all distracted; they want you to focus all your attention on the college entrance exams."
Han ii caught on imdiately: "Now that you ntion it, I seem to understand a problem I hadn’t figured out before."
"What problem?" Cui Linglong seed very interested in this.
"Excuse , the dishes are here." The waiter happened to bring the dishes over at this mont.
So the topic had to be temporarily interrupted.
The food on the table was just too delicious.
All three lost the interest to talk, wholeheartedly focusing on eating.
Honestly,
The specialty dishes here in Yunnan are really different from what he’s had before.
Spicy and sour.
Very appetizing.
Eating it is very satisfying.
Yes, it’s thrilling to eat.
It’s hard to stop once you start.
In the end, the three rubbed their slightly stuffed bellies and exchanged smiles.
"Thank you for the big al." At this point, Cui Linglong had completely lost the previous intention of taking advantage of him, instead understandingly suggesting, "Let’s split the bill for this al."
Han ii nodded along: "Splitting is good."
Looking at their clear and naive eyes, Sun Dasheng felt sentintal; it’s been a long ti since he’d seen such pure eyes, untainted by society’s big dye vat.
This reminded him of the long-haired girl in a white shirt who used to sit in front of him in high school class.
His favorite thing to do was secretly pull her hair for fun.
Tsk tsk...
Alas, youth once gone never returns.
But today, at this mont, he suddenly saw shadows of the past in these two.
So...
He didn’t reject their good intention and do the grand gesture: tonight’s bill is on Mr. Sun, that kind of showy thing.
Instead, he smiled and said, "Okay, I didn’t bring much budget on this trip, if I treat you to a few more als, I’d go bankrupt."
"Then you should spend wisely," Han ii said with concern for him.
Cui Linglong, on the other hand, looked at him suspiciously, a bit unbelieving, "If you’re short on cash, why did you take such a nice ride-hailing car at the high-speed rail station?"
Uh...
Oops.
Almost gave himself away.
The rcedes at the high-speed rail station was arranged by the company.
His eyes darted, then he quickly laughed and said, "That car belongs to a good buddy of mine; he just ca to pick up. Did you manage to get a ride?"
That makes sense.
They couldn’t get a ride at all; after all, it’s Lijiang’s peak tourist season, there are too many tourists, and the queue at the ride-hailing area at the station is so long, it’s impossible without a few hours of waiting.
So the two of them cleverly took a bus from next to the station.
"No," Han ii was honest.
Cui Linglong had nothing to say, just ntally despised her infatuated friend.
Didn’t she see how her eyes were almost glued to the guy’s face?
To spare her further embarrassnt, after paying the bill, she quickly dragged her back to the room.
"Why are you rushing back?"
"There are still quite a few snacks left."
"How can you waste food?"
Back in the room, Han ii was sowhat unhappy.
She still wanted to chat for a while.
Cui Linglong glared at her: "Are you really there for the snacks, afraid of wasting food? You’re just craving his attention, you shaless!"
After being called out, Han ii blushed instantly.
"Oh my, what are you saying? I don’t understand."
Then she ignored her friend, picked up her bag, and went back to her room.
"Goodnight!"
"Wait a minute!" Cui Linglong blocked her way at the door.
"What are you doing? I’m tired and want to sleep." i i wanted to leave.
Linglong blocked her way, giving her a half-smile: "Why don’t we sleep together tonight?"
"Why?" i i was confused.
"Didn’t we book two rooms? Isn’t that a waste? Besides, didn’t you say before that you’re not used to sharing a bed with soone?"
These contradictory words left i i puzzled.
Linglong tapped her on the forehead and said, "I’m just worried you might do sothing outrageous."
"What outrageous thing could I possibly do? You’re overthinking it!"
Seeing i i still being stubborn, Linglong bluntly said, "Hmph! If I don’t keep an eye on you, you might end up climbing into soone else’s bed tonight."
Having her secret thoughts exposed, i i was both angry and embarrassed: "Oh my, Linglong, listen to what you’re saying!"
"You’re slandering , slandering !"
...
The next morning.
"Good morning!"
Sun Dasheng, returning from a morning run, greeted the listless i i.
"You look a bit out of it. Didn’t sleep well last night?"
Out of concern, he asked another question.
It was basically a polite remark, like asking soone in the village ’Have you eaten yet? If not, co eat at my place.’
It’s just a polite phrase; no one expects a serious response like ’Sure, I’m actually hungry.’
That would be considered rude.
After the greeting, as Sun Dasheng was about to go get breakfast, unexpectedly, the girl across from him started to share her complaints.
"Oh, Handso Uncle, you wouldn’t believe my friend from last night. She said she was afraid to be alone and wanted to sleep with her, but she snored and ground her teeth. I barely slept a wink."
"Well..." Sun Dasheng didn’t know how to comfort her, so he said, "Then you should quickly go back to your room and catch up on sleep; you don’t look well."
"Yeah, I’ll go right away, thank you."
Sun Dasheng turned around, and she quickly ran in front of him again.
Sowhat embarrassed, she asked, "Handso Uncle, can I have your WeChat?"
Sun Dasheng didn’t say anything, just looked at her.
She imdiately beca very nervous: "Can... can I?"
"If it’s... not... convenient... never mind."
"Go ahead and scan mine." Just when she was about to walk away shyly, it sounded like heavenly music to her ears.
"Okay, hold on." She started to get her phone out.
Maybe because she was a bit excited, her hand slipped, and the phone went flying.
"Huh?"
This was the new phone her family bought her for the college entrance exams.
What if it’s damaged?
Just as she regretted it, the phone appeared in front of her, lying perfectly in a pair of slender hands.
"Here, hold it well! Don’t drop it again."
A deep male voice rang out.
i i inexplicably blushed, took the phone to scan and add friends, then imdiately turned and hurried off.
Sun Dasheng smiled as he watched her leave.
This girl is quite interesting.
With all those unusual actions, how could Sun Dasheng not know her little crush?
But he didn’t take it to heart.
Young girls’ fleeting crushes, it’s a very normal thing.
A sign of youth.
Very understandable.
Dining area.
Just having finished breakfast and about to go back to his room for a shower, Sun Dasheng encountered Linglong, whose gaze was sowhat dreamy, in the hallway.
"Morning!"
She greeted with a yawn.
"Morning." Sun Dasheng nodded and stepped aside to leave.
"Wait, did you co from that way? Did you see i i?" Worried that he might not rember, she added: "She was the girl with yesterday, her room is over there where you ca from."
"Oh, I saw her." Sun Dasheng nodded earnestly.
"She seed to not be doing well, probably from not sleeping, so she went back to her room to catch up on sleep."
Sun Dasheng was worried she might disturb i i’s rest, so he added another sentence.
Linglong then retracted her steps, hesitantly eyed him: "Really?"
"Nope." Sun Dasheng casually said and turned to leave.
Leaving her with the sight of his tall departing figure.
"Pfft! Show-off." Linglong muttered behind him.
Who knew he seed to have eyes on the back of his head and turned to glance at her.
Her face displayed an awkward smile: "Anything else on your mind?"
