361: Chapter 159: This Ti I Support the Young Miss 361: Chapter 159: This Ti I Support the Young Miss Eldest Miss Li’s current state is obviously not right.
In the future era, there’s a saying that goes, “that what being an idiot is against the law.”
Wang Yunxiao genuinely had no such thoughts.
“Then let’s go together, it’s the perfect ti to dine out and celebrate.
We can talk about the specifics on the way.”
Regarding the information about Li Mumu, if they have already recalled it, then telling them the truth doesn’t really matter much.
Apart from the little secrets in his notes, Wang Yunxiao felt that he had always been straightforward in his dealings, with nothing to hide.
“…
So what you an, big brother, is that after the lady disappeared for a while and ca back, we all have no mory of her?
And her current state is also a bit abnormal?”
Youtiao was quick on the uptake, swiftly extracting key points from Wang Yunxiao’s tale.
“That has nothing to do with us, right?
Even on the day the Great Luo Sect caused trouble, she just watched from the sidelines and didn’t get involved.
Do you think it’s possible that…
she has so hidden identity we don’t know about?”
“The lady’s family is loaded with money; does she need to live on the edge like us?
Impossible!”
Wang Yunxiao dismissed the idea.
Do you think everyone is Bruce Wayne?
Plus, her parents are still alive and well, so what necessity does a powerless lady have to delve into dangerous, mystical knowledge?
It’s not like she gets dragged into the fog to perform stand-up cody with suspicious people in the dead of night…
Speaking of hidden identities, she indeed has one, but not in the real world—instead, it’s in the Thousand-Year Dynasty World.
Wang Yunxiao never understood exactly what kind of organizational structure this so-called Thousand-Year Dynasty had.
Or maybe it doesn’t have any underlying logic at all and is just a pure pile of shit.
One can’t dismiss that possibility, after all, Veronica has said not to delve too deeply into its truth or fallacy, but to regard it as a storybook.
The characters in the book are all archetypes inspired by friends and family around the author.
So authors can win the Nobel Prize.
So authors just get their manuscripts rejected and blacklisted by editors.
Who knows what level the creator of the Thousand-Year Dynasty World is at.
The group made their way flamboyantly through the city, and as they passed Nanshi Main Street, Wang Yunxiao said to Youtiao, “You go find a restaurant and hold a table.
I’ll see if I can coax that lady to join us.
If she’s alright, then it’s all good.
But if she’s got ntal issues, I’ll have to take her to the hospital.”
Youtiao understood and replied with a mischievous grin, “Then, big brother, what’s our budget for tonight’s al?”
“Thinking of having seafood, are you?”
Wang Yunxiao replied irritably, “Dare order it and I’ll pay—when the scores co out, whoever gets the lowest marks will have it deducted from their salary!”
“Then I’ll just have stead buns!”
Gangtou, usually slow to respond, was particularly quick this ti.
He had no confidence in his test scores whatsoever.
“Enough of that, go do your thing, big brother, and don’t worry about them.”
Youtiao quickly intervened, urging Gangtou to stay quiet.
Once Wang Yunxiao had gone off, a bunch of them squatted down by a wall corner, all casting their gazes at Little Gourd in unison.
“Why are you looking at ?”
Little Gourd, feigning composure, huffed, “I don’t think big brother is interested at all; you’re all reading too much into it.”
“And you know?”
“It’s not about whether I understand or not, but elder brother didn’t change into new clothes when he went out today.”
“Didn’t he change?
He did though, the clothes he wore this afternoon weren’t these.”
“He never washed this set either!
He just picked the relatively cleanest one!”
Little Gourd covered her face and sighed, “With the way he dresses so sloppily, which family’s young lady would fancy him?
Brother Youtiao, give so money; I’ll go buy elder brother two new sets of clothes tomorrow.
That way, at least he won’t lose face in public or be laughed at by other won.”
Youtiao shook his head, “Money isn’t the issue.
What are you actually trying to say now?
You were the one who said elder brother didn’t have a date, and you were the one who said he wasn’t interested.
Have you completely given up yourself and now want to hook up elder brother with that young lady?
If that’s what you’re thinking, then it’s not just a matter of a few bucks.
Let tell you, if the young lady doesn’t fancy our elder brother, no new clothes would make a difference.”
The class divide is too vast; it’s not sothing you can bridge just by getting a haircut, washing your face, and putting on a new set of clothes.
Youtiao saw this very clearly.
But on the other hand, if they did take a shine to each other, none of this would matter at all.
Although he enjoyed joking around with his brothers, in his heart he didn’t believe elder brother could end up with that young lady.
Their social statuses were mismatched
Just like with Chen Yan and him.
“You don’t understand anything…”
Little Gourd scoffed at this.
In this day and age, the term “straight male cancer” hadn’t been coined yet, otherwise, she would have definitely used it on Youtiao.
“Let make my position clear first, I support elder brother going to…
pah!
to develop a good relationship with Eldest Miss Li.
Don’t you guys forget that she is going to donate money and goods to our school!
But I’m not going to give up easily either.
You guys don’t need to worry about what’s between elder brother and !”
……
Wang Yunxiao felt a bit sweaty.
Of course, this was due to the hot weather, not because of Little Gourd.
Familiar streets, familiar squares, a familiar girl sitting on the familiar bench.
The inertia of fate always filled him with a sense of déjà vu.
Originally, the old district didn’t have these kinds of purely recreational squares; they were built after the war, alongside the adjacent block of residential buildings.
With the temperant of the Old Tiann people, they wouldn’t waste such a pri piece of land.
Leisure and entertainnt?
Those were lifestyle considerations for the upper class.
Without city managent interference, they could turn any urban open space into a vegetable market.
Wang Yunxiao’s last visit here was in the dead of night when the small square was deserted.
When he ca during the day, the square was bustling with vendors’ stalls, and the air was suffused with the sll of pancake fruit.
Li Mumu sat quietly on the bench in her clean dress, looking like a canary that had fallen into a henhouse.
Her eyes were very empty.
Wang Yunxiao observed her from a distance for a while and noticed sothing was off.
This wasn’t the Li Mumu he knew.
He had t many versions of Li Mumu, but each ti he could tell right away.
The Li Mumu he knew not only possessed the noble air of a rich young lady but most importantly, emitted that proactive and sunny, cheerful and confident attitude.
Such girls were often seen in later tis, but they were quite rare in this era.
Even the rather boisterous Veronica couldn’t match up to Li Mumu in this regard.
Her thoughts and ideas were grounded in the Qianjin Church’s doctrine, which seed sowhat too radical for people of this era.
To Wang Yunxiao, they still felt a bit rigid and dogmatic.
