N-M Chapter 56: When the Childhood Sweetheart Encounters a High-Level "Younger Sister"
Chapter 56: When the Childhood Sweetheart Encounters a High-Level "Younger Sister"
Su Qianqian picked up the cup of less-sweetened milk tea from the coffee table, inserted the straw, and slowly took a sip.
Then, she said softly, "Actually, you can just tell Lin Bei directly."
"You two grew up together and are childhood sweethearts, so the success rate should be quite high."
"Some things only have a chance to happen if you say them out loud."
After listening, Song Qingning sat on the sofa and fell silent, her fingers unconsciously twirling a strand of hair by her ear.
Then, she leaned back on the sofa and sighed, looking at the ceiling: "Do you think I don't want to?"
"Last time I checked my grades at his house, I was practically clinging to him, and his parents were watching right next to me."
"Later, I tried to subtly inquire about it, and he said he didn't want to be in a relationship before graduating from university."
"If I were to tell Lin Bei this now, he would definitely say the same thing again."
Su Qianqian didn't say anything more.
She understands Lin Bei... at least she understands the Lin Bei of today.
The Lin Bei of the past was the kind of person who would save money to buy flowers for her in order to pursue her.
It seems that Lin Bei has now exchanged all his romantic fantasies for a money-making fantasies.
Song Qingning is right. If he said he wouldn't date before graduating from university, then he probably really meant it.
"So what do you plan to do?" Su Qianqian asked.
"Let's leave it like this for now." Song Qingning placed the milk tea cup on the coffee table and crossed her arms in front of her chest.
"Anyway, he doesn't date in college, so I won't either."
"Is that scheming woman trying to take advantage of the situation?"
"Hmph, not a chance!"
Su Qianqian nodded and didn't ask any further questions.
Unlike Song Qingning, she didn't have any romantic feelings for Lin Bei.
But I completely understand Song Qingning's feelings.
Moreover, Su Qianqian felt that Song Qingning and Lin Bei were a good match in every way.
One is sharp-tongued but soft-hearted, the other is sarcastic but attentive. They've been bickering since childhood, so even if they were to get together, they probably wouldn't be able to argue.
If Song Qingning and Lin Bei really get together.
When they get married, maybe all four of them can get married together.
Thinking about it this way, it would be quite romantic.
"By the way, which school are you planning to apply to?" Song Qingning turned around and faced Su Qianqian.
"I haven't decided yet, but I'm guessing it will be the financial management program at a university in S city."
"S City?" Song Qingning pondered, "In that case, I'm also planning to apply to universities in S City."
"Ideally, we'd both go to schools in the same city, so even if we don't, we can still see each other often."
"Sure." Su Qianqian nodded, a genuine smile finally appearing on her lips.
This is also the result she wanted most.
From childhood to adulthood, she only had one best friend, Su Qianqian, so naturally she wanted to study in the same city.
Su Qianqian reached out and picked up a piece of watermelon from the fruit plate, then took a small bite while using a tissue as a base.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Upon hearing the sound, Song Qingning and Su Qianqian simultaneously turned to look at the doorway.
Song Qingning put her legs down, and her back straightened unconsciously.
Su Qianqian put the watermelon down and wiped her mouth with a tissue.
Neither of them spoke.
But the same thought flashed through their minds.
She's here.
Upon hearing the sound, Lin Bei came out of the kitchen, wiped his hands on his apron, and went to open the door.
The door opened.
Wu Xiaoxun stood at the door, wearing a light yellow knit sweater with a white pleated skirt, and carrying a pink paper tote bag.
She smiled when she saw Lin Bei, her eyes curving into two crescent moons.
"Good morning, Brother Lin Bei!"
She held up the pink paper bag in her hand and showed it to Lin Bei. "I brought you bottled water and throat lozenges."
"I heard you cough last time. If your throat is sore, sucking on one will make you feel much better."
Lin Bei took the paper bag: "Thank you."
Then, he stepped aside to let her in.
Su Qianqian gently patted Song Qingning's hand and whispered, "Look at how she does."
"Just hearing someone cough makes me think they have a sore throat, so I bought some throat lozenges."
"Most people wouldn't think of that."
Song Qingning noticed it too, and clenched her little hands tightly.
It seems this little green tea bitch isn't quite up to par yet.
As Wu Xiaoxun stepped into the living room, her gaze went over Lin Bei's shoulder and landed precisely on the two beautiful women sitting side by side on the sofa.
Song Qingning was sitting with her legs crossed and her arm draped over the back of the sofa.
Su Qianqian held her milk tea and drank it quietly.
"Hello, sister." Wu Xiaoxun stood in the entrance hall, not going straight inside, but holding her small handbag in front of her and giving a slight bow.
Song Qingning put her legs down and smiled, "Xiao Xun is here."
"Hurry up and sit down, don't just stand there like you're being punished."
Wu Xiaoxun smiled but didn't say anything, and sat down on the single sofa opposite Song Qingning.
She placed her handbag on her lap, her gaze sweeping over the three cups of milk tea on the coffee table. She accurately identified the chocolate-flavored one, picked it up, and took a sip.
"Thank you for the milk tea, Brother Lin Bei."
How did you know I like chocolate?
Song Qingning's lips twitched; she almost bit the straw flat.
Lin Bei knew this was an easy question, so naturally he didn't answer it.
He brought out the sample clothes that had been ironed earlier from the kitchen, and placed the digital camera that Wu Xiaoxun had brought on the coffee table to check the battery and memory card.
After confirming that there were no problems, Lin Bei clapped his hands and began assigning tasks.
Song Qingning wore a white short-sleeved T-shirt and denim shorts, Wu Xiaoxun wore a floral print sundress, and Su Qianqian wore a light blue fitted dress.
The living room was used as the main shooting location, with enough natural light from the sofa and the window. After the shoot, each person could choose two items to take home.
Song Qingning took the white T-shirt, unfolded it, glanced at it, then looked at the floral sundress in Wu Xiaoxun's hand, her mouth moved slightly but she didn't say anything.
Wu Xiaoxun picked up the floral sundress in her hand, looked at it over and over twice, then looked up at Lin Bei and smiled: "The floral pattern on this one is so pretty."
Then, I went to the bathroom.
Song Qingning carried the clothes toward Lin Bei's bedroom. After taking two steps, she turned back to look at Wu Xiaoxun, who had gone into the bathroom, before she felt relieved and pushed open the bedroom door.
Su Qianqian took the light blue dress, glanced at the fitted waist, and went to the bedroom to change.
A few minutes later.
The three people came out one after the other.
Song Qingning changed into a white short-sleeved T-shirt and denim shorts.
The hem of the T-shirt is tucked into the waistband of the pants, and the two legs stick out from under the pant legs, making the legs look thin and long.
The combination of canvas shoes and shorts makes the whole person look very neat and tidy.
Wu Xiaoxun came out of the bathroom wearing that floral print sundress.
The skirt has a large hem that billows when you twirl around.
She stood in the center of the living room, tiptoed and twirled around, her skirt swirling and falling back down, revealing her adorable and innocent charm.
Su Qianqian was the last to come out.
The light blue fitted dress she wore had a hem that fell just a few centimeters below her knees.
Her hair falls naturally over her shoulders, and combined with her temperament and figure, she is comparable to a professional model.
Lin Bei breathed a heavy sigh of relief when he saw that everyone had changed their clothes.
Hopefully, nothing unexpected will happen during filming.
