"Hey, why don’t I need to worry?"
As soon as Shang Tao asked this, Song Song returned. She seemed better than before, at least not so nervous...
Earlier, she was really like a frightened little rabbit, with eyes full of innocent panic.
Shang Tao laughed and said, "Song Song, I just asked my uncle to find a boyfriend for you. If there’s a suitable candidate, you need to put effort, okay!"
"Ah!" Song Song looked puzzled. She subconsciously wanted to see the man’s expression, but didn’t dare.
Did he not tell Taozi about their relationship now?
She thought he would mention it after she left, but unexpectedly, he didn’t.
She couldn’t say it herself, but why didn’t he?
Shang Tao pinched Song Song’s soft little cheeks, "Don’t be so shocked! Men should get married, women should settle down. You’re already twenty-four, it’s time to find a boyfriend."
After saying that, Shang Tao looked at Xiao Jinghuai and specifically reminded him, "Uncle, don’t introduce anyone over thirty. Too old for Baozi, a boy around twenty-seven or eight is more suitable."
Song Song was eating pasta, and upon hearing this, she almost choked. She vaguely remembered Xiao Jinghuai seemed to be thirty-one...
They’re seven years apart, and thinking about it this way, indeed... a bit old.
"Eat slowly, no one’s fighting you for food." Shang Tao pointed at the several empty plates ahead, "Speaking of Baozi, are all these eaten by you?"
"Yeah, yeah." Song Song nodded vigorously. She was too nervous just now, so could only use eating to cope, "...I ate them all."
"Hey, you can still eat like that but never seem to gain weight." Shang Tao grumbled, then looked at Xiao Jinghuai who also stopped eating, "Uncle, you seem full too. Shall we go?"
Xiao Jinghuai nodded, "Alright, I’ll go pay the bill."
"Yeah, thanks, Uncle. Sorry for making you spend!" Shang Tao said sweetly.
While Xiao Jinghuai went to settle the bill, Shang Tao pulled Song Song over, and asked, "Baozi, are you afraid of my uncle? Ah! I know he seems a bit fierce, but he’s really a warm guy, you don’t need to be scared. You’ve met several times, why are you still afraid?"
"Taozi, actually I want to tell you, me and..."
"Let’s go!"
Song Song was just about to tell the truth when Xiao Jinghuai, returning from settling the bill, interrupted her, and she lost the courage to speak again.
Shang Tao was always quick on her feet; in a blink, she forgot Song Song was about to speak, she pulled her towards the restaurant door, advising, "Baozi, later I’ll ask my uncle to drop you home. Have a good chat in the car, and remember to tell my uncle what type of boy you like, because a man’s perspective is different from a woman’s."
"..."
Song Song was speechless; she really wanted to just die.
Shang Tao left first, and after she got out of the car, only Xiao Jinghuai and Song Song were left. Song Song felt like she couldn’t breathe.
"Why not tell Shang Tao about our current relationship?" Xiao Jinghuai broke the silence first.
Song Song twisted her hands, biting her lip to ease the awkwardness, "I don’t know how to say it. I thought you would explain, but surprisingly... you didn’t say it either."
The last four words she spoke were very soft, hardly audible unless in the narrow space of the car.
Xiao Jinghuai’s lips slightly curled, yet his eyes were chilling, "Little girl, your act is quite convincing. You might fool Shang Tao, but not me..."
Song Song was baffled, what did he mean by that?
