âIs the Fengshui of our Xiaoxiao Noodle House very bad? Ever since the shop opened here, incidents have always occurred.â
Wang Guifang sighed when Yezi, Chen Yuanyuan, and Xu Wenting left, and stared at the empty restaurant.
Too many things had happened lately. The boss died in a car accident, and following that, the shop was messed up. The bossâ wife ended up in the hospital after that. And todayâŠ
Xiao Bing clapped his hands and gathered everyone around. He said seriously, âPlease trust me. The Xiaoxiao Noodle House will be a blessed place. It is said that good fortune follows upon disaster, and disaster lurks within good fortune. The end of disaster is the beginning of good fortune.â
Zhang Jing laughed, âBrother Bing, was that your girlfriend, the little beauty who comes every day?â
âNot yetâŠâ
Zhang Jing laughed, âNot yet? but youâre even going on a date tonight. Sheâs the campus belle, yet youâve got her so quickly. Brother Bing, youâre really something.â
Xiao Bing smiled and didnât deny it. He felt happy when he thought about tonightâs date.
The customers were arriving in waves despite the incident. Xiao Bing got busy working together with the others till evening, when Yezi suddenly appeared at the front door. She waved at Xiao Bing, with a lovely face.
Xiao Bing stopped working and said goodbye to the staff. While walking towards the road with Yezi, he asked, âWhy didnât Xu Wenting and Chen Yuanyuan follow you this time?â
âYou idiot. Today is our date. Why would they come here as third wheels?â
Xiao Bing smiled and said, âAre you saying that weâre on a date tonight? I thought that was only for couples.â
Yezi looked at Xiao Bing and realized that she had been tricked. She laughed, âYou usually look so honest, but it turns out that you are also so cunning⊠You want me to be your girlfriend so easily? Not a chance.â
Xiao Bing also laughed when he had heard what Yezi said. Just like Zhang Yizhi said, over the years he had no lack of women beside him, some of them even admired and chased him. But he never took any one of them as his girlfriend!
None of them had made him want to chase them!
Yezi was the first one!
The only one!
Xiao Bing looked at Yezi and said with a smile, âLetâs go and have a romantic dinner, then letâs go see a movie.â
âGreat!â Yezi cracked a smile, âIâm all yours.â
Xiao Bing took out two movie tickets and laughed, âIâll take you to watch the new movie âRunning Holiday'â.
Yezi was staring at the tickets in Xiao Bingâs hand with widely open eyes, her eyelashes long and lustrous.
Xiao Bing smiled, âDonât look at me like that. These are Yu Haoâs tickets. I took them. He already paid for it anyway. I donât think heâll have the mood to watch a movie today after what had happened. Letâs just take it.â
Yezi smiled wryly, âUse the tickets he paid for, to date the girl he likes. Brother Bing, youâre really something.â
âHaha, so, do you want to go together with me?â
âSure, why not?â Yezi lifted her chin proudly.
Xiao Bing smiled darkly, âIn that case, does that mean youâre willing to go on a date with me? Ouch!â
Yezi ruthlessly pinched Xiao Bingâs arm and groaned, âYouâre really pretending to be a victim after taking advantage of me. What I want to do is to watch the movie. Want to date me? No way! Hmph.â
Xiao Bing looked at the lovely Yezi. He smiled and stretched out his hand, hailing a taxi. He turned around and smiled, âIâm not from a rich family. I can only take you on a taxi. Are you fine with that?â
Yezi got into the car first. She snorted, âDo you think Iâm a gold digger?â
âOf course not.â Xiao Bing sat beside Yezi and told the driver, âDriver, please take us to Wanda Plaza.â
âSure. You guys are college couples right, are you on a date?â
âYes, Brother Driver. You really have a good eye.â Xiao Bing couldnât help praising him. Yezi pinched him on the waist. His face twisted with pain.
Yezi snorted, âBrother Driver, are your eyes really that bad? Donât you think that heâs too old to be a college student?â
The driver looked back at Xiao Bing and laughed, âYou do look older than your age. Hahaha!â
Yezi snickered beside Xiao Bing, who looked on helplessly.
The car stopped at the crowded square. The driver looked back and said to Xiao Bing, who finished and was ready to get off. âBrother, a piece of advice for you. You should dress up yourself properly since youâre on a date. You donât have to wear famous brands, but at least wear something tidy and clean. Look at you. You are even messier than me, a taxi driver.â
Xiao Bing felt very embarrassed. So many things had happened recently that Xiao Bing did not had time to buy any new clothes. He realized that the clothes he wore were the same as the ones he had when he went to Africa for his mission. They were indeed a little shabby. He agreed with the driver and thought that he needed to pay more attention to his appearance if he wanted to find a girlfriend.
Wanda Plaza was the most prosperous area in Jinsha District. There were all kinds of food, drink, and entertainment. Ever since he had got the Jiangcheng City, Xiao Bing had been too busy to look around. While they walked, Yezi pointed to the front and said, âWanda Cinema is on the fourth floor of Wanda Plaza. Iâll go shopping for some new clothes with you, and then weâll go for dinner.â
Yezi was really tactful. She said âwith youâ, not âfor youâ, which preserved his dignity perfectly. From the way she said it, it wasnât hard to tell that she was a girl who cared about the feeling of others.
The third floor of Wanda Plaza sold menâs clothes. Xiao Bing saw Yezi in a new light. The clothes here were not very expensive yet kept up with fashion.
âBrother Bing, what do you think about clothes in that store? I feel that theyâre quite suitable for you.â
It was a navy-blue shirt Yezi was talking about. Yezi took Xiao Bing in and pointed to the shirt, saying to the sales girl nearby, âTake one of these and pick a size that fits him. Let him try it on first. Oh, on second thought, take that pair of pants too. Try them together.â
The salesgirl smiled and said, âMiss, youâve really got an eye. This shirt is very popular this summer, and lots of people like it. Your boyfriend will look great in it. Please wait, Iâll go find the right size for him.â
Yezi looked at Xiao Bing and asked, âBrother Bing, do you like it?â
Xiao Bing looked at her with a gentle smile and said softly, âIâll like anything that you choose.â
Yezi heart skipped a bit, and she broke off eye contact. The atypical shyness of Yezi made Xiao Bing breath hitch. He couldnât help stepping forward to close the distance between them. It was so close that Xiao Bing could even feel Yeziâs sweet breath.
Xiao Bing gulped when his gaze fell on Yeziâs red lips. Yezi looked at Xiao Bing with her eyes wide. She saw Xiao Bing get closer and closer. Their lips almost touchedâŠ
âSir, your clothes.â
The salesgirl walked over with the clothes at an unfortunate time.
The two people hurriedly moved back. Xiao Bing took a long breath and thought, âHoly shit, I havenât felt this in my whole military career. How could I have been so nervous just now⊠It was even more nerve-racking than peeking at the princess of Ying in her bath.â
Xiao Bing was about to take the clothes the salesgirl gave him when Yezi grabbed him and walked out, âIâve changed my mind. We wonât get it.â
Shit⊠Xiao Bing couldnât comprehend what was happening before he got dragged out by Yezi. Obviously, the salesgirl didnât get it either. When she finally came around to her senses, she shouted angrily, âWhat kind of people are you? If you canât afford the clothes, you couldâve just told me! To not buy it without even trying, that really pisses me off!â
Xiao Bing showed a wry smile after being pulled out by Yezi, âCome on, boss. How can you change your mind so fast? The salesgirl must be unhappy.â
âWhy should I care if sheâs happy or not?â Yezi looked Xiao Bing, âDo you like her?â
âNo way.â Xiao Bing didnât know whether he should be happy or not, âHow could I like her? I didnât even see her face clearly.â
âAnyway, there are so many other clothing stores in the mall. Iâll take you to other ones.â
Yezi happily skipped in front of Xiao Bing. He smiled and shook his head. This girl was becoming more mysterious now.
Five stores later, they finally got their eyes on another set of clothes. Yeziâs eyes brightened in surprise when Xiao Bing came out from the changing room, and so did the salesgirl who stood besides her.

It was said that clothes maketh the man. It was not obvious with the previous shabby clothes he was wearing, but Xiao Bing appeared more handsome and manly after changing into new ones. The attractive charm of a mature man was really irresistable.
The sharp edges of his face and confidence from his eyes made him look like mature.
âSir, you look really handsome in this,â praised the salesgirl sincerely.
Yezi was stunned for a few seconds before the salesgirlâs compliment woke her up. She cracked into a smile and said, âWeâll take it.â
