Chapter 99: 082 I am single, but I refuse to be abused (2 updates)_1
“I didn’t see anything,” Bai Dingxian withdrew his gaze.
He didn’t have the ability to read minds. If he did, if he could read what Lu Han was thinking and knew that Lu Han was so misunderstanding him, he would definitely have blown his top.
He was rely curious, that’s all.
For a woman like Sun Qing, he always kept his distance with respect.
If he ever got close, it was definitely for his own reasons.
But no matter the reason, it wouldn’t be for love.
For a woman like Sun Qing, no matter how good her personality might be, he wouldn’t fall in love with her.
Won who play with n, just like those n who play with won, are detestable and deserve to be loathed and spurned.
“…”
Seeing that Bai Dingxian was unwilling to speak, Lu Han let it go.
With a beep, Lin Jiaojiao’s alarm went off, and she stood up, “My premium hairy crabs are ready, you three gentlen better get ready. We won are only responsible for eating the crab at, not for peeling.”
“I’m not peeling,” Bai Dingxian didn’t like those shelled things; even if they were delicious, he wouldn’t eat them. Peeling was too much of a hassle, and there wasn’t much at anyway.
Besides, he was an ergency departnt guy, where every second counts.
He was even less willing to waste ti on peeling shells when he could be eating sothing else and filling his stomach earlier.
“No way, you have to peel, if you don’t, what will Qingqing eat?” Lin Jiaojiao asked.
Bai Dingxian: “…”
She’s calling so affectionately—is this woman old with poor eyesight? Didn’t she just see how Sun Qing was ‘seducing’ Old Tan?
Calling soone brother-in-law so intimately, when he’s not even her actual brother-in-law. Doesn’t she realize there’s sothing wrong with that?
“It’s okay, Jiaojiao, I’ll peel them myself. I’m the best at peeling these shelled creatures. Wait a mont, I’ll help everyone peel. Do we have any tools for peeling crabs?” Sun Qing asked.
Old Tan furrowed his brow, “You can peel crabs with your hands. What other tools do you need? Girl, if your hands are not enough, use this.”
Old Tan opened his mouth and pointed to his sturdy teeth with his finger.
“I have tools. I’ll go get them now,” Lin Jiaojiao couldn’t be bothered to explain to Old Tan, a simpleton, since she had bought a set of specialized crab peeling tools online before, but she had never used them; they were still new.
Lin Jiaojiao knew that those particular people from prominent families used tools to peel their shellfish, and even when peeling shells, they didn’t do it themselves; the servants would peel it for them without touching it with their hands, wearing gloves and using tools.
That girl Sun Qing didn’t appear to be from a small family, what with her good temperant.
The last ti she ca with Tang Su, luckily they shared a table with Bai Dingxian. After Bai Dingxian left, she had soone keep an eye on those two girls. Otherwise, who knows how many single n would have co up to hit on them.
Later, after Tang Su left and Sun Qing was by herself, they got busy, and Sun Qing was still approached by soone. That little girl was quite impressive, rejecting them and showing she could take care of herself.
This had been eye-opening for her and Old Tan.
Tang Su didn’t speak. Sun Qing’s skills as her close friend, she naturally knew about them.
When it ca to eating shellfish, it seed she had never actually peeled them herself from childhood to adulthood unless her father, Sun Qing, and others were not around her.
Usually, when they weren’t around, Tang Su wasn’t tempted and didn’t even think about eating these things.
When they were, and after they peeled and put the at in her bowl, she would eat, but not much.
After Lin Jiaojiao brought the tools, Sun Qing perford a demonstration for the five of them on how to quickly and completely peel shrimps and crabs.
Bai Dingxian was amazed. This young girl that he had little regard for actually had such a unique skill?
She did not just peel off the shells intact, but the most remarkable thing was that she even arranged the empty shells back on the plate to look as if they had been untouched.
Apart from Bai Dingxian, the other four couldn’t help but applaud Sun Qing’s performance.
Sun Qing didn’t know what to say; this was just a small trick after all.
Actually, there was a trick to it. Once you learn the trick, it becos very simple.
She had loved eating shrimp since she was a child but was never satisfied with others peeling them ssily, so she taught herself.
Of course, not everyone could learn things even if they had a trick to them, like Tang Su; Sun Qing had taught her the trick, but even with hands-on instruction, Tang Su still ssed up the shells.
Unable to teach hands-on, Sun Qing decisively gave up on a student who lacked the talent.
“Thank you all for your applause. It’s just a little trick, nothing to brag about. Everyone, try it,” Sun Qing stood up and distributed the at.
There were six people, and she shared into six portions, each getting their share.
Bai Dingxian: …
Everyone else had finished eating, but Bai Dingxian’s plate remained untouched.
“Doctor Bai, have a taste. It’s really good. The shrimp and the crab are very fresh, and the at is quite sweet,” she said.
“Thank you, but I don’t like seafood,” Bai Dingxian declined icily.
Sun Qing: “…”
Not fond of seafood, huh? Then there really is no persuading her.
Lin Jiaojiao rolled her eyes. Why was Bai Dingxian picking on Sun Qing so much?
Did he have so sort of vendetta against the young lady?
Not fond of seafood?
Back in Beijing, when crab season ca around each year, wasn’t he always the happiest eater?
Yes, ever since he had moved to the ergency departnt, the guy changed quite a bit, becoming more inclined toward simplicity in his diet, preferring it the easier, the better. Even with delicious food, if it was ti-consuming and laborious, he wouldn’t bother with it much anymore.
Now they were offering him at without the need for shell stripping, and he was still being fussy?
Lin Jiaojiao was just about to speak up for Sun Qing and smack Bai Dingxian’s face for her when Old Tan pulled her back, “Sister, don’t bother with this ungrateful fellow. Let’s eat and drink. Brother-in-law is impressed with you.”
“Thanks, brother-in-law.”
Sun Qing looked up and bravely drained her drink.
Lin Jiaojiao hurriedly cautioned her, “Girl, the drink is good, but you can’t drink like that. Too much can get you drunk.”
“It’s all right, wife. If I get drunk, I’ll just rest over at our place.”
“She has to work tomorrow. Resting is fine, but we can’t delay her from earning a living,” Lin Jiaojiao was principled too.
They had to open their shop the next day as well; it’s not like they were out of business. Why indulge in such excess?
Old Tan didn’t dare to make a peep and just slowed down his drinking.
What Sun Qing served Lu Han and Tang Su was a combined dish called “Hearts Entwined,” made with shrimp and crab at for them to share.
Sun Qing, wanting to drink, kept toasting Lu Han and Tang Su with auspicious and congratulatory words, and that night, she truly delighted in her drinking.
What she didn’t know was that her mobile phone, left in the car, had run out of battery from her shrewish superior’s endless calls.
Sun Qing couldn’t fathom why, just because she was a bit prettier and managed to handle the shrewish superior’s deliberate difficulties more smoothly, the old woman always targeted her.
Damn it, there were more people in the world who were prettier than the old woman, not just Sun Qing alone.
One day, she would teach the old woman a good lesson and show her that Sun Qing was not to be ssed with and was certainly not soone she could afford to provoke.
ss with her? Must be tired of living.
**
The six people ate and drank from just before seven until almost ten.
Lu Han had booked a designated driver service for ten o’clock, so he took Tang Su’s hand and bid their friends farewell.
Tang Su was no longer able to discern that Bai Dingxian appeared to dislike Sun Qing. Asking Bai Dingxian to take Sun Qing ho was definitely not an option.
With Lu Han by her side, Tang Su hadn’t gotten drunk.
But drunk or not, one must not drive after drinking.
“Sun Qing, shall we drive you ho?” Sun Qing had had quite a bit to drink, and since she lived alone with no one to take care of her back ho, Tang Su was worried.
If the girl didn’t object, she could perhaps stay with her. The distance to work from there wasn’t far either.
“No need. You two being lovey-dovey, just to tornt a single dog like ? I may be a single dog, but I refuse to be tortured. Just go on, you two,” Sun Qing was indeed sowhat drunk, as she had begun to drink a variety of spirits with Old Tan and was feeling dizzy.
However, no matter how dizzy her head felt, her consciousness was very clear. She wasn’t going to intrude on Lu Han and Tang Su’s lovey-dovey mont.
Tang Su: “…”
Really don’t know what that girl is constantly thinking about.
When has she ever tornted her?
Didn’t she consider the years Tang Su pined alone, while every day Tang Su was deep in romance, often dragging her along as the third wheel?
Had she ever complained then?
“All right, you two go on ahead. Don’t keep the designated driver waiting too long. Earning a living late at night isn’t easy. Over here, I’ll keep an eye on things,” Lin Jiaojiao knew Tang Su was concerned and ca over to promise her she’d look after Sun Qing’s safety.
Tang Su naturally trusted Lin Jiaojiao.
“Thanks for your trouble, Sister Jiaojiao,” Tang Su said.
anwhile, hearing Tang Su call his wife ‘Sister Jiaojiao’, Old Tan walked over in a zigzag line and said, “Eh, you’re calling my wife sister, so you have to call
brother-in-law too, Lu Han, did you hear? Marrying a wife ans following the wife’s lead. Whatever small Tang calls her, you must join in.”
“He’s drunk, just ignore him,” said Lin Jiaojiao with resignation, pulling her husband back inside.
Lu Han didn’t bother with the drunken banter; just then, the designated driver arrived and called them. Lu Han, while answering the phone, wrapped his arm around Tang Su’s waist and took her away from the little tavern.
