"Your dad, is it appropriate for you to refuse him like this?" Yun Bu ji felt a little guilty. If her father found out that his daughter rejected him because she was with him, would his father want to beat him to death?
"What's inappropriate? I also hope my parents can be together, but I'd rather my dad moved my mom himself, not use me as an excuse. Isn't that unfair to mom?" Jiang Mian Mian said, waving her hand without any burden, and continued to eat her delicious fried skewers.
"That's true. Jiang Mian Mian, can I ask you something?" Yun Bu ji held the skewer in his hand somewhat nervously.
"What is it? Ask away, I'll definitely answer you well." Mian Mian watched him while eating.
"What kind of man do you want to marry in the future?" Yun Bu ji finally asked what he wanted to ask. He had been agonizing over it for a long time. He was afraid that when he grew up, he wouldn't be the type of man she wanted to marry, and that would be trouble.
Jiang Mian Mian almost burst out laughing. She pretended to be ignorant and asked, "What do you mean by that? I'm so young, it's too early to think about marriage, right? I should at least wait until I'm twenty."
"Yes, that's what they say, but I just want to know. Tell me," Yun Bu ji nervously fiddled with the skewers.
"What's the point of me telling you now? I might change my mind in a few days, my thoughts will evolve, so do you think what I say now is useful? I might like handsome young guys now, and maybe later I'll like mature uncles. There's no certainty, so your question is invalid."
Yun Bu ji was stunned. "Things can change like this? But when you like someone, isn't it best to just stick with them? Why would you change who you like?"
"I don't know. Anyway, my concept of liking someone is still quite vague right now. For example, I like playing with you now, does that mean I like you?" Mian Mian teased him on purpose.
When Yun Bu ji heard that she liked him, his heart pounded so loudly that he couldn't hear anything else she said. His face turned red. She said she liked him!
"You like me?" Yun Bu ji asked excitedly.
"Huh? I said I like playing with you," Mian Mian said, looking at him with a smile and repeating herself.
Yun Bu ji's expression froze on his face. He gave a dry laugh. So she liked playing with him... Although it was a bit of a blow, in a roundabout way, it was still liking him, wasn't it?
"I say, why are you thinking so much? As long as you study hard and put in the effort, you'll become the best version of yourself in the future, won't you? Do you want to become someone mediocre?" Mian Mian actually knew that people like Yun Bu ji would have good lives no matter what, because he was smart.
Unless he was too unlucky.
As it seemed now, he wasn't unlucky, but quite fortunate.
"Alright, alright. I ask you a question, and you're unwilling to answer. Tell me, so I can help you screen potential partners in the future, so you don't end up with some trash."
"I'm still young. I don't plan to consider this issue before going to college, so there's no problem you're talking about. Besides, when you go to college and leave, I'll still be in high school. Who knows what the future holds?" Jiang Mian Mian said with a smile.
"..."
"I'm not going to study out of town. I'll apply to a local university." Yun Bu ji couldn't stand being apart from her for four years!
