Tang Beibei stared at the screen and made two mistakes stepping on the wrong numbers at first and was mocked by her competitor.
“YOU want to compete with me at your level? Pretty lady, just wait to lose and pay me double for the tokens!
Tang Beibei ignored him and concentrated on the screen. She got the hang of the game and was doing much better.
The dance got faster and Tang Beibei danced until she perspired.
Both players were neck and neck. The loud music attracted many spectators.
After a minute of dancing, the results of the competition were out.
Tang Beibei won.
The boy could not believe it. “You only made the two mistakes in the beginning
and nothing after?”
To make the competition more difficult, he deliberately picked a very difficult
dance.
He had danced this dance several times, but he would still miss a few numbers occasionally because the beat was too fast.
Tang Beibei said, “It’s my first time playing, so I had to get a feel of the game at the beginning. But you danced quite well too.
“It’s your first time playing?”
The boy grimaced. He did not expect to meet an expert. “Are you a professional dancer?”
“No. I’m an amateur.”
Although Tang Beibei was in dance training, she didn’t spend most of her time dancing, so she could only be considered an amateur.
The boy was unwilling and put in another five tokens for Tang Beibei. “It could be beginner’s luck just now. Rematch!”
“Sure!”
Tang Beibei thought the game was quite fun, so she was more than happy to do
a rematch.
Countdown appeared on screen for the new game to start, “Three, two, one, begin!”
Tang Beibei danced to the beat and the numbers. The boy beside her looked at her from time to time. Her calm and composed disposition made him a little nervous.
The dance ended in less than two minutes. The machine reported that Tang
Beibei’s error rate was zero.
The boy next to her had a 1% error rate.
The boy felt quite frustrated and asked, “You are that good?
Tang Beibei said with a smile, “It’s not that I’m good. It’s just that the game is simple. That music had a catchy rhythm.”
The boy laughed in frustration. He was going to tell Tang Beibei not to be arrogant but the woman’s expression looked so serious that she didn’t look like she was bragging.
He stared at the woman for a few seconds, and something struck him. He took
out his phone.
“You’re the dance blogger, Beibei!”
“Yes, you know me?”
The boy was surprised and delighted. “Your dances are quite good. Many of my friends copy them. Beibei, I didn’t expect you to look even better without makeup than on camera.”
Tang Beibei waved her hand with a smile. “Thank you for inviting me to dance.
Bye.”
“Wait, beautiful Beibei. I, I’m also a blogger. We can follow each other.”
“Hmm?”
The boy thought that she didn’t believe him and immediately turned on his phone to show her. “Look, I’m a photographer and I have quite a number of fans.”
Tang Beibei glanced at his phone. This boy was a photography blogger called
Shadow.
He indeed had a lot of fans, more than five million.
“Alright then.”
Tang Beibei turned on her phone and said, “I don’t have as many fans as you.
You’re quite impressive.”
Beibei and Qiqi’s account had just broken the mark of 3 million followers. “You girls have only been at it for slightly more than six months. I’ve been doing it for years, since my university days. My name is Fan Ying. You can also call me Shadow. Beibei, can I invite you to be my model?
“I can’t be a model.”
“Yes, you can. Why don’t we do a video of us dancing? You can post the video,
and I’ll repost it.”
“I’ll pay you to model for me. Also, I’ll make an album of your photos and post them on my account. You can repost them. It would be good for your account too.”
Tang Beibei scratched her head and hesitated. Um…
It sounded good, but Tang Beibei didn’t know if he was reliable. They were strangers after all.
When Jiang Jingchen came back from buying ice cream, he saw Tang Beibei chatting with a boy, who invited Tang Beibei to be his model. He was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
He was only gone for two minutes, and someone had already tried to lure his wife away.
How preposterous!
“Of course, you can take photos, but you can’t take photos of her alone.”
“Why?” Fan Ying asked. “And who are you?”
“I’m her….” Jiang Jingchen looked at Tang Beibei and suddenly smiled. “I’m her older brother.”
Tang Beibei didn’t know what he was playing at and kept quiet.
“Ah, you’re Beibei’s older brother. No wonder you’re so good-looking.” Fan Ying smiled fawningly.
Jiang Jingchen said, “This account belongs to Beibei and her friend. If you want to take photos, you should take photos of both of them. If you only took photos of her, you’d be driving a wedge between her and her friend.
Fan Ying thought about it and felt that what he said made sense. He smiled and nodded. “You can ask your friend to come along. About the dance…
“There’s no hurry to dance too. You can wait until her friend comes along.” “Then it’s settled. Beibei, let’s add each other on WeChat so we can keep in touch.”
Tang Beibei added Fan Ying on WeChat since Jiang Jingchen had agreed.
Jiang Jingchen gave her an ice cream and said that they were busy and bade Fan Ying goodbye.
After they walked out of Fan Ying’s earshot, Tang Beibei took a bite of her ice cream and asked in confusion, “Hubby, shouldn’t we ask Qiqi about this first?” “YOU and Ruan Qi have never taken professional photos together before. Why wouldn’t you agree to a free photographer?”
“True too. This does seem like a good deal for us.
Tang Beibei didn’t ask more questions, but she would still tell Ruan Qi about it when she got home.
However, would Jiang Jingchen agree to let Tang Beibei go for a photo shoot with another man?
Sigh. No one could guess what Jiang Jingchen was thinking.
They walked out of the arcade and were about to head home when thunder suddenly rumbled in the sky. Tang Beibei was so startled that she held the man’s arm.
Jiang Jingchen looked at the gloomy sky. It was going to rain.
Tang Beibei patted her little heart. “Spring thunder is too scary. It’s so loud.”
Jiang Jingchen paused for a few seconds. “Spring thunder?
“Thunder in spring. Isn’t that spring thunder?
“First comes spring thunder, then the insects will come out of hibernation. After that, all living things will grow, and it will be time to plant.”
“At this time, we should follow the liver and nurture the spleen to keep our organs healthy. We can eat stewed pears with lotus seeds, loquat leaves, and Luo Han Guo. I don’t know if it’ll taste good.”
When Jiang Jingchen heard her talk about food from spring thunder, he pinched her cheek.
“I think you just want to eat pears. Since you are into Chinese medicine, you must know how to cook them so they’d taste better.”
Tang Beibei chuckled. “Raw pears are cold and sweet in nature, but they can nourish the lungs, relieve coughs, nourish Yin and remove excessive heat. There are many ways to eat pears. For example, steaming, juicing, roasting, or boiling. And there’s steamed pears with rock sugar, which is easy to make.” Jiang Jingchen chuckled. “I’ll take you to buy pears. You can eat them in whichever way.”
“Alright!”
Tang Beibei liked the idea very much and the two of them went to a fruit shop.
After buying pears, the two of them returned to the villa.
Tang Beibei changed back to her own clothes, put on an apron, and was about to go to the kitchen when she saw Jiang Jingchen talk on the phone with his face dark.
She asked Song Zhou worriedly who was on the phone with her husband and made him so angry.
Song Zhou sighed. “Who else can it be? It’s probably Old Master Jiang, Jiang Xing. Jiang Xing was in poor health some time ago and was coughing when he spoke. He’s restless now that he’s feeling better.”
■Why is he scolding my husband? My husband didn’t do anything wrong. What is he venting is anger on my husband?” Tang Beibei felt indignant for Jiang Jingchen.
Song Zhou glanced at her and thought to himself that it was because Tang Beibei didn’t really know her husband.
Jiang Corporation was in turmoil now and it was her husband who sowed the seeds of crisis.
However, Jiang Xing didn’t call Jiang Jingchen because of work this time..
