Cheng Ling knew that Xie Ying was worried that people would criticize her if she didn’t participate.
But in fact, Cheng Ling was already used to it.
As Cheng Ling didn’t want Xie Ying to worry, she still nodded.
“But Grandma, you don’t have to buy me a dress. I don’t want to wear a dress on that kind of occasion.”
Seeing that Cheng Ling had given in, Xie Ying naturally agreed to anything she wanted.
“Okay, okay, okay. My Ling Ling can wear whatever she wants. Anyway, you’re so beautiful, so you’ll look good in anything.”
“Grandma, did you eat candy? Why are you so sweet? Come, eat two more pieces of meat.”
“You should eat more.”
Unknowingly, it was already dark outside the window. Cheng Ling’s small villa lit up with warm lights. The two people inside were chatting and laughing as they were eating.
As the saying went, ‘when family members sit idly, the lights are amiable’. Wasn’t this the scene?
After eating and washing the dishes, Cheng Ling went out alone to check on the conditions of the plants in the field. Nothing was abnormal. She then loosened the soil and repelled the insects here and there. Half an hour passed very quickly.
In the living room, Xie Ying was chasing after the TV series. Cheng Ling had never been interested in these TV series, but she still took her phone and sat beside Xie Ying to accompany her.
Cheng Ling opened WeChat and found a dialog box.
[ Farming Professional ]: Have you found the person I asked you to help find last time?
[ Fight and Kill ]: Yes. I’ll go next week. There are still some things I need to take care of here.
[ Farming Professional ]: Okay, thank you. I’ll send you some good stuff.
[ Fight and Kill ]: That’s great. Since you said that it’s good stuff, it must be something that money cannot buy. I’ll wait.
Cheng Ling’s hand hovered above the keypad for a moment. Then, she opened the WeChat collection of emojis and sent a bunny emoji over.
The emoji carried the word ‘mm’. This was the emoji she had taken from the few girls she had added on WeChat today.
Although she didn’t want to admit it, Cheng Ling was even looking forward to the feedback from the other party after seeing the emoji that she had sent.
In the end, the other party only replied after three to four minutes.
[ Fight and Kill ]: Sister Ling, has your account been hacked?
After all kinds of unfamiliar emotions appeared, a new emotion appeared in Cheng Ling’s heart — that was speechless.
Just as she was about to reply, another message came from the other side.
[ Fight and Kill ]: Who are you? How dare you hack our Sister Ling’s WeChat account? When I get hold of you, I’ll beat you to death.
This sentence really had the style of fighting and killing.
It was all about beating someone to death.
“Ling Ling, who are you chatting with? Why do you look unhappy?”
“No, I’m just chatting with a friend.”
[ Farming Professional ]: It’s not hacked. I just accidentally clicked on it.
That’s the only explanation she could give.
Does she have to admit that she sent it on purpose?
[ Fight and Kill ]: Oh, that’s good! I was wondering what had happened to you. Suddenly sending such a cute emoji is not your style. Oh yes, Sister Ling, when are you coming to the south city? My mother is always talking about you. Also, my brother just entered university last year, and he has been saying that he wants to treat you to a meal.
[ Farming Professional ]: School has started recently. In a few weeks, I will find a weekend to visit Auntie.
[ Fight and Kill]: That’s great. If my mother knows that you’re coming, she will definitely be so happy that she can’t sleep. When the time comes, let me know in advance. I will arrange it for you.
The two of them chatted for a while, and Cheng Ling exited the conversation. She found a small red dot marked ‘1’ on the address book.
She clicked on it and saw that there was a new friend request.
In the past few days, she had added more friends than she had in the past six months.
The person who requested to add her as a friend was someone called ‘Cosmic Handsome Guy’. His profile picture was of a fully armed racing driver sitting in a cool racing car.
A few days ago, there was a request from ‘Super Handsome Guy’, and now there was a ‘Cosmic Handsome Guy��.
Thinking of the ‘Super Handsome Guy’, she thought of Lu Qi. But they should be very busy these days.
Cheng Ling saw Lu Xiu’s WeChat moments today. The background was his office.
The caption was: another 18-hour day.
Cheng Ling knew that Lu Qi must be working too because she saw a hand in the lower right corner of Lu Xiu’s photo.
That hand was fair, slender, and had distinct joints. It was very delicate.
Although Cheng Ling didn’t want to admit it, she could tell at a glance that it was Lu Qi’s hand.
