Chapter 113: Can You Put On So Sunscreen?
He was very talented in nail art, and so people tried to recruit him, but most of the people in this line of work were won. Their boyfriends often thought that he was having an affair with them, and after this kind of thing happened a few tis, Paddy was a little tired of it.
After all this trouble, in addition to being misunderstood by others, his funds were also becoming less and less, and he had no choice but to temporarily find a job to solve his financial problems.
Now that Paddy saw Xiang Xiaoyuan’s hands, he suddenly had an itch. He wanted to design a manicure for Xiang Xiaoyuan. However, when he saw Xiang Xiaoyuan’s exquisite and perfect profile, he promptly dispelled this thought.
The man beside such a beauty would be even more controlling.
Paddy sighed helplessly.
Xiang Xiaoyuan did not hear Paddy’s sigh because she was lowering her head to send a ssage to Lu Bei.
This was the first ti Lu Bei had sent her a ssage on Wechat after adding her: [ ? ]
A question mark, but Xiang Xiaoyuan understood what he ant: [ Have you left? ]
Unlike Lu Wanggui, Lu Bei replied almost instantly: [ Not yet. ]
Xiang Xiaoyuan: [ Okay, then wait for for a while? Let’s have a al together after I’m done here? ]
Lu Bei: [ OK. ]
etings were always dull and boring. If not for her experience in etings, Xiang Xiaoyuan was afraid that she would yawn. She managed to hold on until the end of the eting. She inford Paddy and quickly slipped away.
She went to a nearby shopping mall and went to a barbecue restaurant on the top floor. She saw Lu Bei waiting there by the window. Every ti she saw Lu Bei in the past few days, she would be worried, “When this kid starts school again, I’m afraid he won’t be the handsost boy anymore.”
In the past, Lu Bei’s skin was fair. When he wore a black sweater, he looked slender. With an expressionless face, he looked cool. But his skin had already beco dark after working for a few days. One could imagine that if he didn’t put on so sunscreen, he would be a black man when school starts again.
Xiang Xiaoyuan sat down opposite of Lu Bei. She stared at his face and let out a long sigh.
Lu Bei was baffled. “What?”
Xiang Xiaoyuan felt her heart ache when she thought about how such a good-looking face would be ruined. She could not help but suggest, “The sun is so bright. Can’t you apply so sun protection when you work?”
Lu Bei: “?”
Sun protection? What the hell?
Xiang Xiaoyuan was worried that if this continued, his position as the male protagonist of his novel would be lost. She pointed at his face and reminded, “You’ve gotten a lot darker recently.”
Lu Bei: “…”
He was about to say sothing, but Xiang Xiaoyuan called the waiter over to start ordering. She ordered a lot of at, catering to Lu Bei’s taste. The dishes were served very quickly at the barbecue shop, and the streaky pork was sizzling on the barbecue plate, arousing people’s appetite.
Lu Bei stared at the streaky pork and asked, “Why are you here?”
“To get experience. I have to practice my French for the French exam in December. Normally, I would go to class to study, but I think my level doesn’t require to do that. Plus, it’s quite expensive to take the class.” Xiang Xiaoyuan flipped the streaky pork over with tongs and continued, “So I’m looking for a French-speaking part-ti job. Not only do I not have to pay, but I can also earn money.”
Lu Bei was confused. “You want to take the French exam? Why?”
“You don’t understand, do you?”
Xiang Xiaoyuan decided to teach Lu Bei, who had yet to step into society, a lesson. “With the French certificate and work experience, it will be very easy for to find a job in the future. Moreover, the starting salary will not be low. This knowledge will be converted into money when I step into society.”
Lu Bei looked puzzled. “My dad didn’t give you money?”
Xiang Xiaoyuan’s mind thought quickly. “Your dad gave you money. Aren’t you working as well?”
Lu Bei: “…”
The two of them looked at each other and inexplicably understood each other’s suffering.
After a mont of silence, Lu Bei placed the roasted pork belly into Xiang Xiaoyuan’s plate and asked, “Then do I have to help you hide it?”
“No need.”
Xiang Xiaoyuan took a piece of lettuce and wrapped the pork belly in it. She took a bite and said, “I’ll tell him myself. It’s not a shaful thing to work part-ti.”
Lu Bei rembered what Xiang Xiaoyuan had done recently. She had opened a convenience store and found a part-ti job to take the French exam. Suddenly, he felt an epiphany. Was it because his father gave her stepmother too little money, so she went through so much trouble just to earn money?
If his father had given her enough money, why would his stepmother go through so much trouble?
