【New Red Mansion】Perfect World

Chapter 173 Don't mess with me if you don't mean to. Are you tired yet?

Jia Baoyu ran over. Jia Yuanchun saw her brother, still the spirited young man. She raised her lips slightly, lowered the window, leaned over and called him: "Baoyu, here."

As a gust of cold wind blew into the car, Jia Baoyu also got into the car.

"How have you been recently? Are you keeping up with your studies? I heard that you work in a teahouse?" After he sat down, Jia Yuanchun began to ask three questions in a row.

"Fortunately, my life is quite fulfilling."

"So what are your plans for the future?"

"I have not decided yet."

Jia Yuanchun sighed, "I've made a plan. I have a recruitment campaign for the New Youth Daily, recruiting students to work on electronic newspapers. I think you have good literary talent, so you can start as a typesetter first, and if you are interested in the future, you can become a special reporter."

As Jia Yuanchun spoke, she showed the tablet in her hand to Jia Baoyu.

Jia Baoyu looked at the information on the screen carefully. The typesetters would proofread the journals to be published every once in a while and then send the first copy to the proofreading room for proofreading. It was not very laborious and it suited his personality.

"I'm quite interested, but I don't know if I can do it."

"Then start doing it from tomorrow. You don't have to go to the newspaper office every day. They will give you an internal account and you can operate it at home on your computer. It doesn't take up a lot of time and won't interfere with your studies."

Jia Baoyu waited for Jia Yuanchun to finish speaking and nodded, then suddenly asked, "Sister, why don't you come back to live? Are you living well?"

Jia Yuanchun's eyes turned red as she looked at him, and then she looked away to hide her emotions: "I'm fine, I'm used to being independent. Besides, my work is quite busy, and it's inconvenient for me to travel back and forth." She didn't say that she didn't want to come back because she didn't want to see people she didn't like. Or that there was no one she liked in this garden.

"You must study hard, and you will achieve something in the future! Then maybe you and I will often meet at work, and that will be enough to make up for our longing for each other."

Jia Baoyu fell into his own imagination again. He often wove an illusory web for himself and then lay in it, not knowing what the world outside the web was like. He didn't want to know, he just wanted to keep the illusory beauty.

You Kunling has been a little upset recently. After Liu Xianglian added her WeChat that day, he never contacted her, nor did he like her Moments. She would occasionally open his Moments to see if he had deleted her. She also boasted to her second sister, but she didn't expect that the other side would remain unchanged.

After the night rehearsal that day, when I got my phone back, this Brother Liu was actually alive.

"I'm at the bar with my friends. Come over and sit for a while. Let's chat."

"I just finished rehearsal and can't drink." Although he was alive, You Kunling had no intention of spoiling him.

"Then you drink. How about I pick you up?"

You Kunling didn't drive today, so of course she wouldn't go by herself. She just waited for him to pick her up.

She arrived at a bar full of beautiful women, but even so, as soon as she stepped into the bar, she immediately overshadowed the others.

Although she was not dressed up today, she put on a delicate full makeup while waiting for Liu Xianglian, and let her hair down.

She took off her heavy down jacket and put on a white low-necked tight cotton T-shirt and pink sweatpants.

If you don't have enough clothes, you can make up for it with your body. After sitting down, You Kunling first posed gracefully with her arms crossed. When the drinks came, she also changed her lively personality and only raised the drink cup in her hand when everyone clinked glasses together.

When everyone at the table was drunk, she changed her posture again, holding her chin with both hands and then looked into his eyes with a smile. Of course, she was only flirting with Liu Xianglian, and she had no interest in talking to others.

In Liu Xianglian's eyes, You Kunling was particularly lively today. Although she didn't drink, her eyes seemed to be as refreshing as if she was drunk. She was not as absent-minded as she was during the last meal. Today, she seemed to be able to get closer, but also a little distant.

You Kunling secretly looked at her watch, and she had to go back at half past ten. Liu Xianglian immediately said goodbye to his friend and wanted to take her back.

When they arrived at the gate of Jia's mansion, Liu Xianglian hesitated and said, "You look very beautiful today."

"Yes, I know." You Kunling responded, and Liu Xianglian didn't know what to say next.

"I'm going to go in now. I have to take off my makeup and take care of my skin. I have to get up early tomorrow."

When Liu Xianglian heard that she was leaving, he mustered up the courage to move closer and whispered, "I like you. Can I be your boyfriend?"

"No."

"why?"

"There are too many people chasing me. I'm afraid you'll have to wait in line for several years..." After saying that, You Kunling got out of the car and hurried into the courtyard.

Liu Xianglian stared at the gate for a long time before asking the designated driver to drive him back. Was he rejected? How could he be so caught off guard...

When his friends saw him coming back, they all teased him, "Why did you come back? Were you rejected?"

Liu Xianglian said nothing and just asked everyone to continue drinking.

Who knew that after a while, You Kunling sent a message: "Play games with me..."

"what game?"

"King, go up."

These four words seemed to have a kind of magic, driving him to open the game. Liu Xianglian played the King of Glory very well, but he was not in the same rank as You Kunling, so he could only play with her.

Liu Xianglian chose Lan, and You Kunling chose Yao. You Kunling followed him at the beginning, and when she reached level 4, she was on top, and then Liu Xianglian led her to kill.

"So handsome." You Kunling praised him.

Liu Xianglian was even more proud. He chose a shooter in the next game. You Kunling still chose Yao. Liu Xianglian continued to lead the team. As expected, he was praised again.

When preparing to play the third game.

"I'm going to wash off my facial mask and play again another day." You Kunling quit the game.

Liu Xianglian had no choice but to turn off the game and continue drinking.

"Dude. You said a girl just rejected you, but now she wants to play with you again. What does she mean?"

"I just treat you as a backup..."

"Yes, I am fishing for you."

His friends helped him analyze it.

"Does hooking me mean you like me?"

"Bullshit... I was just using you to kill time..."

Liu Xianglian drank another glass of wine: "Can I understand it this way: She definitely can't play with someone she doesn't like?"

"I can't help it if you insist on understanding it that way."

"..."

After that day, You Kunling began to do whatever he wanted. When he was happy, he would ask Liu Xianglian to accompany him for dinner or shopping. When he was unhappy, he would not contact him for a few days. This made him feel very nervous. He felt that one day they were getting close, and the next day they disappeared without a trace.

As the Lunar New Year approached, You Qianning also returned from a performance in another city. The two sisters made an appointment to go out for a bath and massage.

In the quiet massage room, You Kunling's phone rang with a series of messages. She only swiped open her phone and took a look, then locked the screen without replying.

"Why don't you reply to the message?" You Qianning asked.

"Me? I'm not happy to go back..."

You Qianning looked at her smiling almond eyes and asked again, "Who is it?"

"Idiot Liu."

"Why do you say that about others?"

You Kunling smiled and said, "He played hard to get for so long before coming to me, so of course I have to make him suffer."

"You still have the same temper. If you don't like him, don't provoke him. Why bother teasing him?"

You Kunling said mysteriously, "Who said I have no interest in him?"

You Qianning was startled: "What are you doing?"

"Walk the dog! If you get tired, you won't play with him! You're not tired yet!"

After a long time, You Qianning finally asked, "Do you still hate him?"

You Kunling sat up straight and did some stretching exercises. She had been playing too many games recently and her neck was always tired. She would ask the technician to massage her neck.

"I've already said it: If he doesn't come to provoke me, I'll let him go. If he does, don't blame me!"

You Qianning sighed, "It's not easy for us to have a place to stand in this life. After all, our eldest sister is not born of the same mother as us, and our hearts are not in the same place. Besides, she is also a person with no plans, and her health is not good. She can't take care of the huge Jia Mansion. You are my only relative. It is important to plan for the future while you are still young and find someone who can take care of you."

You Kunling interrupted her before she could finish: "What's so good about the Jia Mansion? I wouldn't care even if she has a say. You haven't suffered enough from men, so don't pin your hopes on men. It would be wise to leave the Jia Mansion as soon as possible." You Kunling became irritable when she talked about the Jia Mansion. She had planned to move out as soon as she graduated from university.
